Columbia and UBC will not, indeed can not, deny ad- mission to the qualified students our economy re- huires. Where growth is fast, expansjon must match it. Conservative estimates place UBC enrolment at 15,000 in 1968. Emergendy measures and tempor- ary buildings can, no longer ,suffice. Permanent buildin gs are urgently needed now and the university must act at once to carry out a program of develop- ment, Teaching and research buildings must he pro- vided and essential campus services and academic fa- cilities must be expanded? oo ‘ Fewer than five students are enrolled in Canad- ian universities for every 1,000 of oyr population. Yet Canada’s intellecthal capacity warrants enrolments ‘of 20 per 1,000; In Russia the ratio js four times ours, ‘In the United States it is triple Canada’s. Business needs more commerce and art gradu- ‘ates, Industry is'snapping up engineers and scien- ‘tists. Governmental and educational institutions need their new graduates. | | “That's here and now,” says A, V, Roe Canada ‘Ltd, in the Financial Post, “How will the big de- mands of Canada’s fast growing, fast-maturing ec- ‘onomy be met in coming years? There’s only one solution: Send more young people to university.” - We must have a fully-equipped progressive ‘university where we can send our young people. UBC can thrive only with your full support and the sup- port of the people and communities throughout the province and Canada, When alumni or students of UBC call on you do what you can in the matter of financial aid, remembering that you are helping your province, your nation by assisting YOUR university. mea w ine oup eens LOOKING BACK ... | sitions to the west--two of whieh From the Miles of The Dally News NECEMEEN 31 1N Years Aga Apprealation of the lenderahip of Lieut, Communder Alex Mitch- ell, of Captain Cook Corps of Sen Ondets, was expressed by corpt membors at a party in the navy | drill hall eantoon last night.
