where Faculty members are being asked to distribute th e
forms .
The questionaire asks student s
for the personal costs of roo m

recent campaign against raising the fees .

Anyone ?
These students have reportedly accused the Board of
Governors of lack of leadership and muddled finances .
These students do not include Council members and
The Ubyssey believes Council would dis-associate itsel f
from any such motion.
Counsellors I n
Some council members are, however, included in a
rumoured motion calling for the removal of Greek societie s
from the UBC campus .
The motion was debated at the joint Council meetin g
Monday night and defeated 10 votes to 8 .
Issue of whether The Ubyssey Editor should continue
to sit on Council is expected to be a hotly debated question
at the meeting .
Some Ubyssey staff members have threatened to resign
if the decades-old tradition of newspaper Council representation is not continued.

Music And Lunc h
Music is supposed to be ,
among other things, a universa l
language, a lingua franca of
feeling .
Last Thursday's concert b y
the . Parrenin Quartet certainly
pleased a large and assorted
audience, some of whom migh t
have had to be tied down to
listen to a program of chamber
music on hi-fi, even with stereophonic sound .
On the other hand, and getting back to the lingua franca
idea, the quartet seemed to do
greater justice to Milhaud an d
Roussel than to Beethoven —
illustrating, perhaps, that music ,
like poetry, loses something i n
translation .
by the rustle of lunch papers .
The Roussel quartet, really th e
chef d'oeuvre of the program ,
was impressive, and, perhaps be cause our palates were now adjusted, often extremely beautiful . The virtuosity of the players
w a s apparent . Occasionall y
there was detected a certai n
lack of balance between the first
and second violins—Mr . Parrenin's appeared to be the mor e
virtuosic instrument . This wa s
not detrimental, ,but a differenc e
which might be noted betwee n
this group and another—say th e
Paganini .
The Beethoven coming as a
dessert—there is a tendency fo r
the critic at these noon-hou r
concerts to draw food-analogies
—seemed to add a flavorful climax to the repast . Two encore s
were exquisitely played—one by
eighteenth-century French composer Dalayrac, one by Debussey .
Altogether, t h e Parrenin's
concert must• have made man y
more acquaintances, and som e
more Friends, of Chambe r

This is not to say that . justice
was not done to Beethoven . I n
fact, music of the Beethove n
period, being more classical, is
inclined to be more the lingu a
franca, more international, than
that of the moderns . Aur goo d
fortune lay in the fact that w e
were able to hear a first-clas s
French quartet play the more
personal, more subjective musi c
of modern French composers . .
The program was ideally contrived . Music is also suppose d
to be thg food of love, but man y
of us had brought our lunche s
along . The polytonal intricacie s
of the Milhaud, not easy to listen to, were mitigated somewha t

for his work in organizing and
producing Opera in B .C . Mr .
Ustimovich has trained two complete casts for the coming presentations, and he himself wil l
sing the parts of "Konchck" an d
"Igor" in alternate performances . Vancouver will remember his exceptional performanc e

CRITICIS M
Correspond E
Dear David Bromige :
I enjoyed the Critics' Pag e
of Friday, March 6, very much ,
and was pleased to see the excellent article by Mr . Warren
Tallman . However, since much
of the content of this lette r
was directed against me, I
would like to retaliate an d
clarify my position further .
Firstly, I don't think tha t
the Beats wallow . But even if
they did wallow!, they migh t
be more effective than the y
are just lying in the mud letting the flys settle on them ,
one by one . Wallowing stirs
things up ; it keeps the fly s
buzzing, it makes them struggle for survival ; A, stagnant
pond just lets them, multiply .
Having read Kerouac and
Ginsberg, among others, wit h
a sincere "Will to understand" ,
I do realize that their protes t
is my protest, but the difference between the Beats an d
myself is one which even this
fact does not change . I agree
with the Beats, and I admir e
the elegance with which they
can so graphically portray th e
parasitism of Great God Moloch . But if everyone accept s
their solution to the problem ,
if everyone retreats into th e
sanctity of his own pure, intelligent, beautiful, kind an d
innocent soul, what then hap pens to the organism of society. What then happens to
the maggots spawned by th e
complacent flys? This is jus t
the environment which Maggots love, a nice, soft, spongy ,
brainless soul which doesn' t
fight back .
The Beats are aliens in a n
insane society, but they ar e
also aliens to the Beats and t o
themselves . They are splitting
the organizm of society against
itself so that defense against
the minions of Moloch is impossible . I agree that Dea n
Moriarity is not indulging himself, but I do not agree that
schizophrenia, paranoia an d
drug-induced delusions are effective measures against the
"madness with which he is afflicted" . Far better if Dean ,
Sal, Leo, and all the o1
Beats, both literary and r
decided to act in a man
which would shape societ3
that they wouldn't have to
aliens .
"Mankind is one body
when a destructive action c
not be justified it become
crime and infects that bo c
but parasites and sicknes s
not be overcome if the st:
ture is dying within . An
treme introvert cannot o •
come the onslaught from w
out . But we must overc t
the onslaught and we can
give in to introversion ; in
version is a crutch, just ]
the many other crutches wl
men have employed i n
past, but now we must th i
away the crutch or there I
be nothing left to support !
For this reason, I take i s
with the statement that
Beats have a "definite prog r
of action", if Mr . Talln
means by this that it is a r
gramme which will bring p
five results . The Beat s
negative, and a negativ e
gram of action cannot sav e
from Muloch .
"Humanity is beautiful" ,
"life is holy", but man is gu i
if he doesn't accept som e
ponsibility for his actions .
the Beats would bear in m
the Existentialist credo t
the decision of any one ma r
also a decision for every otl
man, we might be able to ov
come the forces which
thrusting the ether rag urn
our noses . If the Beat "p]
osophy" were one of social r
ponsibility as well as one
social awareness, then I woi
have no complaint at all .
As for my contempt, I w
to make it quite clear tha t
is not contempt for the Be a
but for those among us w
have some degree of so c
awareness and who also h a
literary ability which cm
help shape our society to ms
desirable ends, but who l a
and emulate the Beats inste p
These are the people w

Open Letter to Yvonne Firkin s
Miss Firkins:
Last night, at the casting s
for the Vancouver Little
Theatre's production of "Walt z
"of the Toreadors", you stated '
that in your opinion no acto r
already cast in "The Desperate Hours,, should be considered for a part in your production . I have been wonderin g
what process of reasonin g
prompted this statement . "Th e
Desperate Hours", as y o u
know, will have finished it s
run by March 28th, only tw o
weeks hence ; and, as you ar e
currently engaged in directin g
"Separate Tables" at the Freddy Wood, due for production
on April 3rd ., one may reasonably suppose that you wil l
have very little time to rehearse "Waltz of the- Toreadors" before then .
-The possible unavailabilit y
of an actor for one or two rehearsals only is scarcely reason enough to preclude hi m
from the V .L .T .A . production .
You must, therefore, have ha d
some other purpose in pronouncing this ban .
Could it be, I wonder, tha t
you were impelled by a mistakenly democratic belief tha t
roles should be `shared' ou t
among the members, irrespective of merit? That the largess e
of good parts should be showered alike upon the just an d
the unjust, the not-so-good a s
well as the trained and talented?
You see, Miss Firkins, you
have a duty to the public, as
well as to the members of th e
Little Theatre . V.L .T.A. need s
a tegular_audience drawn fro m
the `general public' as well " as
from a host of actors' relati v
and a regular audience ca n
captured and held only by t
presentation of consisten
good theatre, which requii
in addition to good plays a
competent direction, the p r
ence of thebest availabl e
tors and actresses .
I should like to refer y
to a review of the Play e
Club Fall Plays, in whic h
pointed out that the purs e
of a `parts-for-all' policy ,
evinced by the presentatio n
three One-act plays with ro:
for 25 to 30 members, inste
of the presentation of o
Three-act play, with parts 1

mediocrity rather than 'demo

"ideal" women of wisdom are
there? (none?) ; but how very
often is the woman which i s

society alive (in the real flesh

authors hold fervently to th e
ideal—the ivory towered, pedestaled woman ; but many authors not only recognize parts o f
perfection in many women ,
but also see in them their
weaknesses . (For the sake o f
the record, males are portrayed with weaknesses in literature too) .
The authoress was right .
Some will immediately pro test that there can be no suc h
thing as a woman of wisdom—
I do . For by the content of he r
article, I wonder about th e
young lady's value judgements .
What does she consider "lowl y
moral creatures", "highly sexed", "frustrated" , "truncated" ,
or "warped" . Are not these
words mere ambiguity . Do no t
these words denote somethin g
(I'm not too sure what) Whic h
is conceived only apart from
her idea of womanhood . Feminine wisdom gone? — I don' t
think so ; the authoress's ide a
of womanhood has just neve r
existed . As for the Duchess o f
Malfi, I don't say, "the poo r
duchess" either ; I just say a
prayer to Webster that he wa s
not god, and that he didn' t
really create the perfect stagnant woman—Flawless . May be some people like to rea d
about what they see, feel, an d
partake in physically no t
just a world of non - existen t
concepts . Could that be wh y
more women "almost lik e
Shakespeare's Portia" aren' t
portrayed with regularity i n
literature . Can we condemn ,
then, literature on the basis
that it does not picture w'oma n
according to someone's peculiar idea about womanhood or
feminine wisdom ?

Hartley .
Dear David :
As the chap who, I believe ,
began the Beat controversy long
ago last fall with a review of a
Beat and Angry Young Man anthology, I think it in order that
I should attempt to close off the
discussion . I admit to being cunning about this, and waitin g
until your second-to-last edition ;
but I also admit to having wanted to wait and give myself time
to observe the parade of commentators .
Moreover I wanted to wai t
until I had finished the sabbatical amongst the "outsiders" of
the current literature, and wa s
once again amongst those, wh o
come high water, hell, or academic critics looking for ne w
pied pipers will last for all tim e
as the authors whom are generally recognized as great .
When I dipped into that anthology, which contained excerpts from Kerouac, Ginsberg ,
Rexroth, I had come to it bouncing off Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Maugham, Santayana and
Huxley, all of . whom, as yo u
know, have dealt seriously with
the theme of the young man
looking for values .
Consequently, I was primed
to be sympathetic toward any one who was offering another
saga of a man's journey towar d
his .God . I did not stay sympathetic long . And this is why .
The first thing to do befor e
deciding about the beat generation of writers is to have rea d
other generations of writers ,
and indeed, those writers who
do not belong to a generation .
This you . do for the purpose of
giving yourself a set - of values ,
or if you dislike superimposition of rules, of attempting t o
understand the values already
within you .
If you are wise, you do all
this reading with a certain
amount of wit, wisdom, and
with an eye on history . You ar e
aware that those who fail t o
proceed with prudence are for ever being swept away by som e
petty new excitement . Y o u
know that the great of today
must be the same as the grea t
of the past, that the third rat e
of today must be like the thir d
rate of the past .

"There wasn't a dry seat left
in the house," commented on e
spectator after the final dres s
rehearsal of "Charley's Aunt" .
The three-act farce is indeed on e
of great laugh-potential, and th e
antics of Johnathan S . Parke s
in the title role practically ensure that the playwright's intentions are realised . Mr . Parke s
was recently seen, under hi s
stage name of Johnny Sparks ,
in Mussoc's "Boy Friend" an d
the drama departments "Th e
Birds" .
Others wringing their laugh s
from the hilarious business an d
their hands over the tortuous
plot are Aileen St . Vincent Barker, Pamela Rutledge, Valeri e
Dowling, Corinna Bruce, Gu y
P a 1 m e r, Kenneth Kramer ,
Brighton Rocque, David Mans field and John Everett Hooper .
All are well-known campus
mimes . Kramer is also a member of Equity .

At least, I had assumed tha t
you—(I use "you" in the jolly
old inclusive sense) make thi s
cast over tradition beforeyo u
look at the current requests fo r
recognition .
Having made this cast, I was
naturally a little appalled a t
what the Beatniks claimed to
be their new message . They ha d
called themselves t h e high
priest, therefore, in fairness, I
assumed, they would present a
eucharistic comment .
Ah, but it wasn't so, was it ?
"Howl" was certainly no `,'Paridise Lost", and Dean Moriarit y
was no Hamlet . Japhy Rider is
no . . . well Japhy Rider does
not compare to anyone . As to
why, I'll return in a moment .
Now the progressives are going to scream . They will clai m
I'm only blindly following tradition . A s society changes ,
warble they, so literary standards change . The hero of on e
time is not the hero of . another .
But you and I, Bromige ol d
chap, know what to make o f
progressives . We've read more
than they have, and we're
older,* and we know they'r e
only playing a bad game of selfdefense . They are not so ne w
as they think they are, they are
only the traditional countertheme .
This, then, is the position o f
the Beatkins . They are the counter-theme, which in historical
context have been the .Wilde's ,
the Fitzgerald's the Swinburnes ,
and a number of French author s
whose names call up a dullness
top painful- to remember .
But there is something abou t
the Beat kids which makes them .
different from - their tradition .
Whereas Wilde, De Maupassant
and Fitzgerald created art whe n
they tried to find values
amongst the fallen away, Kerouac and his buddies -cannot d o
this .
Why? Well, we'll now pick
up - Japhy Rider where we left
him seducing another mouse in
the bathtub . I - can't quote the
exact lines which describe this
Dharma bum, because I read th e
book in fifteen minutes and pu t
up no struggle to let it return
to the library . But I do remember Kerouac's attempts to mak e
me feel as if his protagonist—i f
the central character of a serie s
of essays can be called a protagonist — were a hero . Naturally, like Miss Gordon, I rebelled . I've seen better men than
Japhy Rider and still called
them the name they deserved —
S .O.B .'s . If he has any counterpart in literature, it might be a s
a last-minute stand in for th e
eldest Karamazov . And as fo r
Moriarty, who amongst othe r
failings, is often a crashing bore ,
we might rank him with one o f

Faulkner's sawmill hands .
Now unlike Miss Gordon, I
didn't rage at the "muck an d
filth" . The inclusion of muck
and filth, which makes up a par t
of everyone's life, is the artist' s
duty. When Bowdlers come t o
expurgate, I am ennoyed, an d
wonder for their lonesom e
hours .
But unlike Warren Tallman ,
I don't admire the seeking o f
values that is a dedicated searc h
through only the outcasts of
society . I don't hate the peopl e
Kerouac finds, in fact, I am
some times rather fond of them .
But I am fond of them as I a m
fond of the Porter-at-the-gate i n
MacBeth , not because they ar e
the new gods . I have seen Moriarty thousands of times befor e
and always have been tempte d
to either hit him or throw hi m
in a shower . Neither I nor any one else who had the faintes t
conception of the artist's rol e
could call him a hero . He is
now, was thousands of years before Kerouac, and always wil l
be, a bum .
But, by sheer force of Kerouac's talent, which the Puritan s
would like to disclaim but cannot, he is a colorful bum . An d
Kerouac is a colorful writer . On
the Road is at times a thundering piece of poetry . The truck
:ride across the mid-west, for in stance, is as clean of style a s
Steinbeck's accounts of the people of .Cannery Row ; it moves
faster than Wolfe's passages ; it
is younger in - spirit than Hemingwiy has ever been . It is a
traveller 's song, as riotous a
piece of poetry as a bard ever
wrote .
Which only shows that I think .
Kerouac is a talented boy . He
can write . Sometimes he can
even see . But he insists, eithe r
from hurt, stubbornness, or contentment with a crowd of ridiculous disciples, on refusing to
look for the good old, well worn
eternal verities. If he woul d
look, he could be a good writer .
Until he does look, he'll only
go on beingwhat he is—a whip ping boy for Puritans, a deity
for neo-Manichaens, and an object of sympathy for us traditionalists .
Yours in parting ,
