d ificeThree of the big six have now been chosen . You have

spoken, and it shall be so.

We would,jike, at this time, to coneratulate the winners :

Al Cornwall, new AMS President ; Pat Glenn, who will fill the.new post of Second Vice-President ; and Lynn McDonald, Sec-

.- fetary.

In our official capacity as campus know-it-all, we are goin gto offer these people a bit of advice.

Miss McDonald will have to remember that the secretary i s-mot merely a taker of notes and a mimeographer of stencils.This year she will have greatly increased responsibilities . Be-

asides representing , our women students, she will have to be afull member of a functioning executive . It is imperative that she

-pull her weight.

Let tradition be hanged, Miss McDonald. Speak out on allissues, and be prepared to work as hard as the rest of the ex-ecutive .

Mr . Glenn. is reminded that there is more to the job of Sec-ond Vice President than public, relations . . Besides the burdenof making the .new,system weekthat.rests .on the shoulders, o fall the executives, there is the matter of helping the :interest`groups to adjust to not being represented on the Council . Thisis' th task of the Vice-Presidents.

'The chief egeponsibility for making the new system work

Will fall, upon the shoulders o$_ the President . Mr, Cornwall ,you willt.aveto.work liard, to put into effect ; your stated policy'of expanding representation . Adjustment to the new systemwill not be easy.

You ,have inherited a mass of problems, .host, :pressing arethe questions of a new student union building and fresh orien-tation .

The intricacies, of the student building are very difficultAse,grasp ; :(mostly due to hesitancy on the part of the admin-istration) but you will, have to grasp them and formulate acsttnong policy . Action on the matter ia .overdue now .

The dismal state of froth orientation will inevitably be athorn in your side. Even having a two-year chairman . helpedlittle, The administration is confused, and the students ' effortshave. proved futile .

It is up to you, Mr. President, to lead the new . Council ina new direction on this problem. Some radical solution must befound, and it is your job to find it .

Policy towards Men 's Athletics will also be a major prob-lem next -year . It too will have to be resolved by your Council .

These will be the major issues . We have neglected to men-tion the more minor issues, which themselves are numerou s

, and troublesome . And there is always the unforeseen .But we trust that you have come into office in full knowl-

edge of these problems, and we wish you the best of luck .*

4.Don't neglect the losers. I.n a democracy, it is importan t

to remember that the losers in any election are to be respectedas much as the winners .

They too were willing to give of their time and . effort toserve the students .

And they performed a valuable service in their campaigns ,presenting dissenting views, and• disseminating important in-formation .

They deserve our thanks .

wive a cheer

,Okay, altogether now. Let 's hear it for the women of B .C .' .Four thousand of them, the ;"Feminine. fighting forces of

I understand from letterspublished in The Ubyssey o nJanuary 16 and from an articleon January 24 that there havebeen some complaints abou tthe quality of the Food serve din Fort Camp. I understand ,too, that students were invitedto attend a. meeting on Janu-ary 20 to discuss the matter .

It would be useful, I think ,if attention were called to th eprocedures which exist to ensure that' complaints are re-

ceived by the persons respon-sible for Food Services andthat appropriate action i staken. Students are encourage dto speak directly to the dieti-tians in charge' of • the dinin grooms, or if they wish, to th eFood Representatives on th eC' a m p Council . If necessary ,complaints can then be takento the A .M.S. Food Commit -tee on Housing and Food Ser-vices.

It . is difficult for the dir"ec-

tors of Food Services to dea lwith specific complaints suc has those cited in the article on:January 24, unless attention i scalled immediately to the na-

ture of the complaint .

As a matter of interest, foo dfacilities are visited regularlyby sanitary inspectors- of th eMetropolitan Health Commit -tee . The last inspection at For tCamp was carried out on Mon-day, 30 January and sanitar yconditions were reported as ex-cellent .

In line with : the Ubyssey policy of providing bearded report-ers to cover Monday night Council meetings, the powers = tlla tbe have put your humble servant back where he was at th ebeginning of the year, (Yes, Maledlm Scott has had a, close shaverecently . )

Perhaps the most interesting event of the evening was th epost-prandial appearance of one Robert Horn, present to pleadfor Council's adoption of the constitution of the Fair Play forCuba Club .

This constitution was rejected by UCC last week, becausethey were unhappy about several points in it, and about ' theaims of the club in general . Mr. Horne was invited to appear be-fore the UCC executive and discuss the matter ; however, feel-ing that UCC were prejudiced against him in advance, he decide dto come directly to Council .

Horn stated that the purpose of the club was to encouragea wide knowledge of all Latin America, and particularly ofCuba, whose situation at present is, he said, °of tremendous sig-nificance ." He denied that the club would be particularly pro-Cuba, but said that it was interested in publicizing the factsabout Cuba, which, he claimed, have not ?peen represented object-ively by the press, particularly in the United States .

He cited precedent for the formation of the club by pointin gout that there are several such organizations at universities i nthe States, and one has been started recently in Toronto by aU. of T. professor .

Horn said he would like to see this organization approved a sa club by AMS with "iron-clad laws" in its constitution tha twould prevent its being used for political purposes .

These proposals came under extensive discussion in Council .Several Councillors felt that the objectives of the organizationcould be achieved just as well through clubs already existing oncampus — El Circulo (which has a "wild weekend" every year) ,WUS, or the Communist Party Club . This last was a referenc eto the fact that the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in the State sis on the FBI list of suspect organizations, and that two of th epresent members of Mr . Horn's organization are apparentl yactive members of the Communist Club at UBC .

Others thought that the name was an unfortunate 'choice ,in view of Horn's declared aims, as it suggested a pro-Cuba nbias rather than an object_ve approach . Horn said he was quitewilling to change the name, but that it had been chosen to estab-lish a connection with the organization in U .S., through which i twas hoped to obtain literature, films and speakers .

He pointed out that 900 people are needed as guides an dinformation dispensers . For anyone interested, the committee' saddress is Room 306, Brock Hall .

Mainly because of the political implications, Council werefar from happy with the problem, and finally asked UCC t odiscuss. several suggested changes to the constitution with th eclub, but with no guarantee that, should these changes be made ,it will receive Council's approval .

Watch for another exciting instalment next week .* * *

Peter Meekison was up to report on Open House Week (Feb .27 to Mar . 4) . He said it was hoped to draw upwards of 100 .000people, as the event is being widely publicized throughout th eprovince . An elaborate traffic system has been devised to handl ethe rush .

Students trainedin social policy: -The beginnings of the School of Social Work took root at

the University of British Columbia over thirty years ago, whe na -few extension courses were given in response to the trainin gneeds of the welfare workers in Vancouver—at that time, par-ticularly in the Childrens' Aid Society and the Family WelfareBureau.

This initial characteristic o fthe . university and the commu-nity drawing upon each othertowards the common solution o fsocial °problems in terms of edu-cation and research, has been acontinuing feature of both theSchool's professional growthand the development of socia lagencies and services in Van-couver and British Columbiagenerally .

Today, over 20 diverse publicand private community social -agencies are Iinked to the schoolthrough the field work place-ments of the students . Underthis arrangement, an opportu-nity is provided for the studentsto test and apply an increasingbody - of social work theory,knowledge and skill under th epractical conditions of . the agen-cy's function .

The School maintains a closerelationship with 'the field workagencies -through4ndi.vidual con-ferences between a faculty mem-ber and the agency supervisor ,and by group meetings .

The net result of this - system ,is that the agencies benefit byeventually ' recruiting badlyneeded prof esaionatewhrkerewhom they themselves havehelped train, and . by keeping 'abreast of social work theoryand • 'practice , embodied - in theSchool's 'program .

Conversely, the services of theSchool are available to socia lagencies that wish to engage Min

The School has not refrainedfrom taking a stand in - issues -ofsocial policy which have comeup, and has given leadership topublic opinion in those areaswhich come within its compe-tence. Recently, the Directorof the School, Mr . W. Dixon, haspublicly called for a Survey ofChild Welfare Administration inthe Province .

Where the problems of . coinsmunity need have been obscur-ed by lack of information oranalysis, faculty and studentshave contributed by investiga-tion and research., Thus, eachstudent in his *aster's Yearwrites a thesis, often involvingthe exploration of some aspectof the community's welfare .This questioning and construc-tively critical body of material ,serves as a spur to rational im-provement of the community' swelfare .

Over more recent years, manypf the faculty have contribute dsignificantly to major researchstudies . Professor Dixon's studyQf the Doukhobors and in theadministration of Indian Affairs,is noteworthy .

Dr. L. Marsh's "Study . onHousing and Urban Renewal inthe Strathcona Area", was aninvaluable reference in thatfield. "The Police Court ,Alt*holic" was a special study doneby Mr . A. Marriage .

Worker must know sel fSocial walk as an application of professional service s

is justly alighted by many as being a highly imperfect bu-reaucratic mechanism designed and dedicated to the pro-tertten of the status quo. This is a charge which the professio n

- as a whole -must face and attempt to repudiate but it canno tbe completely nullified because we are forced to functio nwithin the structure of a given society.

The complex nature of the problems created by an in-dustrial society necessitates the organization of specific re -sources to- alleviate these problems . This in turn requires thebureaucratic structure which can only be imperfect .

The vital question is whether the system reflects thevalues inherent in our modern democratic -society or doesit reflect the values upon which our society was supposed tobe built . Is social work used as a vehicle for the perpetuationof our present day middle class values or is it an enablingforce in helping man fulfil his destiny? This is a questioneach and every worker must ask himself in the face of hi sprofessional principles revolving around the individual ' stight to be able to realize his potential .

The social worker must function within the context ofsociety consciously utilizing his professional being to enabl eman to prat.' -se this right when he is incapacitated by th eself, society, or when the self exercises its potentiality insuch a way as to deny others the same right . When' man i shampered by seeiety or the self to the extent that his abilit yto function is seriously impaired, society has - an obligationto enable him to repair this capacity . When man exercise shis right to - se' f-realization in such a manner as to endange rthe rights of others, society in turn has the right to protec tthese people but also an obligation to protect the man .

In the above lies the justification of the aforementionedcriticism, but society as a structure, whether viewed as helpin gor hindering, has a direct bearing on the life of man . It sinherent problems which may or may not be created by a nimperfect form, represent human suffering which must b ealleviated in the present . The alleviation of these problemsalone would partially justify the charge of perpetuating a nimperfect system . However, the profession is further justifie dwhen, if acting in accordance with its professed ideals, i tenables man to mobilize sufficient strength to fulfil his po-tential as an individual . Athough this may be hampered bythe form of society, in his strength lies hope for the future .

If social work as an application of professional servicesis hampering more than enabling the individual, each workermust re-examine himself and his function in view of theprinciples he must live by .

Problems are complexThe School of Social Work is engrossed in the extremely

difficult task of creating a generic approach to problems en -compassing a panorama of special ties, and of accomplishingthis within the confines of insufficient time . The very com-plexity of our social problems demand specialization to ensurethat each be treated at depth .

In order for the student to obtain the ability to acquir esufficient depth to perform adequately in any one of thes especialties, it is imperative that he first attempt to understandman and then man in relation to his particular culture. Hemust then formulate a justified personal philosophy to vindi-cate his being as a professional worker . The journey is be-ginning. It now 'becomes essential that he view and integratethe panorama of basic skills or specialties seeing them as partof an integrated whole in relation to the personal philosoph yhe has previously incorporated .

It remains for the individual to assess the presentedpicture and govern the professional self accordingly . Thislearning process and this process alone will create a worke roperating on a firm, yet dynamic, base . Through this proces she will come to know the self and how to apply this essenceof his work .

Social Work is not a trades school . The flexible anddynamic presentation of this to the student requires constantself searching by the staff . The presentation of this to thestudent is further complicated by the wide variety of indivi-dual background encompassed by the graduate school . Themagnitude of the goals when seen in relation to the two year stime span designed for their implementation presents a nea rimpossible task .

_However, the principle encompassed by the generic ap-

proach represents the only solution to later professsional spe-cialization . The social worker cannot be a doctor specializin g

(Continued on Page Four)See: "PROBLEMS"

By WERNER COHNI have never been a socia l

worker, and never had socia lwork training . But in accord-ance with Smith's Law (Thosewho can, do ; those who can't ,teach), I have on occasiontaught a course on Introduc-tion to Social Work at an in-stitution different from thisone. A friend suggested thi sto be the right kind of quali-fication to launch an outsid-er's attack on the field. Sohere I go .

Whenever my more promis-ing students have consultedme, I have wondered whethe rI should be justified in advis-ing them to go into socialwork. I do feel that there arecertain grave dangers in thi sprofession to one's soul andspirit . In the main, theseare: 1) the rigidly bureaucra-tized 'structure of the field ;and 2) the manipulative ideo-logy. The two are closely re-lated .

Taking the second first, i thas seemed to me that theprofession has not yet solve dthe problem of whether it sclients are its servants or itsmasters. This dilemma alsoexists in other professions,notably psychiatry, but to alesser extent: In. theory, th eclient of a social worker ha scertain problems which theworker is to help solve in th einterests of the client . Solu-tions, in theory, are to comefrom the nature of the client

and the problem . But in prac-tice, the solution almost al-ways come in part from cer-tain presuppositions .

Modern social work train-ing, with its de-emphasis ofthe grosser forms of moralisti cmanipulation, has obscuredthe underlying, persisting ,conservative bias built intothe practice of the profession .The bias is one in favor of ad-justment, of adequate func-tioning, of normalcy. I haveno doubt that lip service i sbeing paid to Thoreau ("If aman does not keep pace withhis companions, perhaps it isbecause he hears a differen tdrummer. Let him step t othe music which he hears ,however measured or faraway") .

But when the worker —and his supervisor — is con-fronted with the father whodoes not wish to get a job ,with the adolescent whowishes serious sexual experi-mentation, with the groupmember who is contentiou sand "uncooperative", there i slittle doubt of the direction o fthe manipulative interven-tion. The intervention is pre-sumably justified by theknowledge and skill of thesocial worker . But do tech-nical skills enable us to pas s

d moral judgments ?This brings me to the othe r

point, the rigid bureaucrati-zation of the field . It seemsthat once one enters the pro-

est groups seeking to imposetheir own definitions of whatthat social need is .

And of course no profes-sion, even the oldest one, suc-ceeds in being all things toall men at all times . Here wehave one of those inevitabletensions of social life which isalways embarrassing, often iro-nic, and sometimes tragic .What then, as Tolstoy said, i sto be done now ?

Well let us, at any rate, dis-abuse ourselves of the illusionthat there is any solution forthis problem. If the potential

starkness of the issues is no tapparent in the foggy outline sof contemporary life w eshould try to enlarge our so-ciological perceptions by find-ing room within them for afew archetypical scenes i nwhich the ultimate limits o fdisagreement are plainly t obe seen: Becket murdered be -fore his own altar, theKnights Templars roastin gover charcoal fires, GeneralMacArthur carrying his con-ception of the logic of mili-tary necessity to the margin sof the Third World War .

And if memories are s oshort that even the KoreanWar seems to belong to thefabled past, try telling mewhat the Dutch ReformedChurch should be doing inSouth Africa now, or roll thenames of Dr. Teller and Dr .Pauling lightly on the tongue .. Naturally, social workersare too few and too weak torun much risk of being in-volved in such violently con-flicting assessments of thepublic good as these, and pre-sumably the antics of the doe-

fession, for the rest of one'slife there will be supervisors ,boards, or at least "consult-ants" (which may be no morethan a new-fangled term fo rthe good old supervisors) .The bureaucratic governmen-tal origins of social welfar eare still very much with th efield in its organizationa lstructure . This problem is notmerely one of day-to-day acti-vity, which in many casesmay indeed be warm andhelpful despite the bureaucra-tic rigidities .

The problem is most pro -found, in my opinion, whe none considers the underlyin gassumptions that the profes-sion is ultimately responsible ,if not to the government, thenat least to the "public" whoserepresentatives s i t on l a yboards. But wao is this pub-lic? It isn't the person whois contentious and "uncooper-ative," it isn't the one whowas _sent to prison becausehis sins are punishable, itisn't the creative scholar orartist who shies away fromcommittees .

As represented in govern-ment and on governingboards, the public generallyturns out to be staid, hard-working, moderately cheatin gon income taxes, and aboveall, respectable . Hence therespectability of - the socialwork profession .

That is its danger to souland spirit .

tors in Saskatchewan las tsummer are pretty small beertoo. But it does help if on ecan recognize that the pro-blems social workers have inreconciling competing estim-ates of their role are generic ,ancient and continuous .

As it happens, I believe tha tthe professional schools of so-cial work do a slightly betterjob of altering their studentsto the aewilderments and am-biguities of discharging an in-adequately defined publi ctrust than do the academie sof some of their more vener-able colleagues .

If all the myths perpetrat-ed in medical schools aboutso-called socialized medicinewere laid end to end theywould stretch from here t oAtlantis, while we all kno wthat the Yale Law School is agood deed in a naughty world .And the imagination cannotgrasp the rape of the min dthat would have to take placebefore the physicists and che-mists lost their political vir-ginity .

All the same, I agree wit hProfessor Cohn that socia lworkers often make one fee llike Peck's bad boy. I canonly suggest that he make i this business to direct some ofhis more alienated sociologygraduates to careers in socia lwork .

The combination of do -gooders and do-nothingsshould be piquant if nothin gelse .

Like the man who crossed acobra with a mongoose toproduce an animal that wasits own worst enemy .

By ADRIAN MARRIAG E

There is no doubt that Pro-fessor Cohn has put his finge ron an important problem .Social workers do have abun-dant opportunities to bull yand manipulate their clients ,and their accountability —sometimes formal, sometime scovert — to bureaucratic ad-ministrators and illiberal bu-siness men does tend to makethem allies of the narrowerforms of respectability .

But are the other profes-sions any better? Is the ave-rage school teacher an apostl eof revolutionary socialchange? Has the America nMedical Association shown amore disinterested sense o fits public responsibilities tha nthe National Association ofSocial Workers? Is the rank-ing of deference values les srigidly hierarchical amonglawyers? Is the public healt hnurse less gratuitously horta- _tory than the public assitanc eofficial? Who killed Coc kRobin ?

The fact is, all profession sface the same dilemma of bal-ancing their legitimate claim sto autonomy against the pub- -

lie's right to require the per-formance of those services fo rthe provision of which theprofessions are called intobeing, as it were, in the firstplace .

While preserving a certain-necessary immunity from thevagaries of the popular whim ,they must neither fall into astate ofarrogant indifferenceto social need nor allow them-selves to become the docileinstruments of special inter-

(Condensed from the manual "What is Social Work " prepared

- by Community Chest and Council of Greater Vancouver )

Social work bgeins with a concern for people .

This 'relatively new servit:e profession is built on solving- thedifficulties human beings sometimes have in their relationshi p

to each other and to the world.From earliest times, even! spect for their differences .

Help is given without regar dthough men quarrelled and to race, creed, color, economic o rfought among themselves, they social status .

Greatest sports 'story ever toldThree years ago, at a smal l

Eastern Canadian university ,there was a youngster on thefootball squad who was no grea tshakes as a player, but whosepersonality served as a moralebooster for the whole team . Thecoach was deeply fond of th eboy. He liked the proud wa yhe walked arm in arm with hi sfather on the campus from tim eto time . If the team was farenough ahead, he even let himget into a game occasionally fo rthe last few minutes of play .

One day, about a week beforethe big finale home-comin ggame, the boy's mother calle dthe coach on the phone . ."Myhusband died this morning of aheart attack," she said . "Willyou break the news to my boy ?He'll take it better if it comesfrom you ." The coach did wha twas necessary, and the boy wen thome sorrowfully .

He was back three days later ,.and came straight to the Coach ."Coach", he begged, "I "want t oask something of you thatmeans an awful lot to me . Iwant to start in that gam eon Saturday . I think it' swhat my faller would hav eliked most . "

The Coach hesitated, and thenagreed. "O.K., son, you'll start ,but you'll only be there for aplay or two. You aren't goo denough, and you know it ." Trueto his word the Coach startedthe boy — but never took hi mout. For sixty full, jarringminutes he played inspired foot-ball, running, blocking, andpassing like an All-American ,and sparking the team to vic-tory .

Back in the dressing room, th ecoach threw his arm around th eboy's shoulder and said, "Son ,you were terrific. You stayedin because you belonged there .You never played that kind o ffootball before. What got int oyou? "

The boy answered, "Remem-ber how my father and I used t ogo about arm in arm? Ther ewas something about him veryfew people knew. My fatherwas totally blind. This after -noon was the first time he ever&aw me play ."

showed concern for each other'swelfare and a capacity for help-ing one another .

FIRST DIFFICULTYPoverty was the first of man's

difficulties to attract attention .Thus we find the earliest formsof social work were organizedto aid the needy .

Developments in psychologyand the social sciences, however ,have brought greater under -standing of people and the causeof the problems which preventsome people from leading happ yand useful lives .

There has also developed amethod of helping people tosolve their problems, a methodwhich combines scientific knowl -edge with the art of the practi-tioner himself :BELIEF IN DIGNIT Y

The first concept of modernsocial work is a belief in the dig-nity and worth of the indivdual .This implies respect for th eright of a person to live his ow nlife, to make his own decisions ,and to enjoy certain persona land civil liberties . -

Respect for others includes re -

Seven years ago it was recog-nized that there was a need o n

this Campus for an undergradu-ate club which could promot e

interest in and knowledge of

social work amongst the stu -dents. It was to encourage a nunderstanding of this new pro-fession that the Pre-Social WorkSociety came into being .

Today the Society fulfils th eimportant task of showing stu-dents, who are intersted in So-cial Work as a vocation, justwhat the work entails, and whatthey could expect to find them-selves doing if they graduate dinto the profession .

This year under the direction

The help given by the socia lworker cannot be truly effect-ive unless the client takes a nactive part in the process . Theindividual has responsibility no tonly for himself but toward thesociety in which he lives . So-ciety has the responsibility toprotect the lives and interest sof all its members .

PROBLEMS TO SOLVEThe kinds of problems which

social workers treat or serve arethose of poverty, broken homes ,family maladjustment, physica land mental handicaps, inade-quate housing and antisocial be-havior . To meet these needs, wefind such agencies as family an dchild welfare, public assistance,rehabilitation programs, healt hand legal services and many oth -ers .

Social workers usually rendersocial agencies . These socialagencies represent the commun-ity, and provide means by whichtheir specialized services withinpeople's needs and problem smay be met either by adminis-tering social legislation or byvoluntary effort.

Personnelfrom many of the local agencies ,where several Society membersare gaining practical experienc ein the work, will address th estudents.

Sacictt Workers' , taledefined by analogy

By HARVEY STALWIC K

One day I stood and gazed into a rushing mountain stream.The waters were filled with salmon struggling upstream tospawn. To see these undaunted fish leaping over jagged rocksand twisting through the rapids was truly a stirring drama of

nature, I knew that the salmon had spent several years in theocean preparing for this historic trip . This now was their su-preme struggle . A struggle to bring forth new life in the shallow ,

{ warm upstream pools .

Momentarily I lifted my eyes ing thigh deep in the swirlin gfrom the swirling school of sal- water shouted, "Pretty stupi dmon to a nearby fisherman . He aren't they, fighting upstream to

their own funeral?" The phrase ,"to their own funeral," brough tme back to reality. I remem-bered I had omitted the finalstage in the life cycle of th esalmon — its death .

I had forgotten that once th esalmon lays its eggs it dies with -in a few hours, never to see theyoung it has so heroically pro-duced . With this fact in mindI realized that my analogy wa sincomplete .

We as members of the humanrace are granted by the graceof our Creator a bigger goal i nlife than one supreme struggl eand then death. We are no tbound to any one river in life .And after following some riverto its source there is nothingstopping us from returning tothe ocean and selecting another .

From this analogy can be de-rived a relatively simple defini-tion of the role of a SocialWorker. "A Social Workerdeals with the individual at mid-stream . He enables that indivi-dual, whether he be strugglingup or floating down, to find dir-ection and meaning for hislife . "
