Electric Company and rode merrily to 10th and Sasamat from where the Trek was to begin. Ironically, it was not until the 25th anniversary of the“Great Trek” that it was given this name. At the time it was known as “the Pilgrimage”,and Aubrey Roberts wishes he’d thought of the shorter name sooner. He was assigned to cover the event for The Province, and it would have made his job a lot easier. “ ‘Pilgrimage’ was a bit long for the headline writers even in thosedays,” he bemoans.He furtherrecalls that although the trekkers started out quite briskly, “we arrived at the main mall rather less smartly”. 7 The road from Sasamat to what is now the heart of the UBC cam- pus was not much more than a wa- gon trail in 1922.

To thelectures he totes along videotapemachines loaded with vignettes of hisown making. Dr. Szaszinsists on role-playing as a method of getting his students to understandand anticipate a pa- tient’sproblems and, by taping these sessions, he has a repertoire of sexual anxieties to demonstrate to those who will one day have to deal with them.The video also spouts one-line questions of the kind adolescentsask, leaving the audience to ponder the best way to answer. One testing and spawning ground for Dr. Szasz’s ideas is the teenage clinic he operates in conjunction with Dr. Roger Tonkin’s REACH Centre. “to keep myself clinically involved.” Here his disciples give contraceptives,examinations and advice. He says he learned a great deal from his own children, who never hesitated to discuss their sexual ac- tivities with him. The Szaszes are a close family. He met his wife in the admitting officeof theNorth Vancouver hospitalwhere they bothworked; their children are now grown-up,the son to be a medical student at UBC - taking some ofhis father’sclasses. His daughter took nursing training and thenopted for an air stewardess career. If you askGeorge Szasz what sex education is, he will simply say it is “raising children to be men or women within theframework of their society.” His constant cry is fora “context of humanity” - which meansnothing less than a A bit of a showman, Dr. Szasz makes imaginative ofuse audiovisual history of sex and how it came to uids in teaching the importance of the context of humanity in be such a problem.All our physical sex educution. functions havesocial controls im- posed onthem, Dr. Szasz points out, but only sex can be altered or delayed indefinitely. In our society, sexhas become “the measuring stick of honour” - andhence a threat. He maintains thatthe biggest problem in education today is the lack of context. What good is it to teachour childrenlogarithms if they don’t understand their relation to history and building‘? What good 19 is it to tell them what “circumcis- ion”means if theydon’t under- stand the moral ethics of an ancient people? That is why,deplorable as the state of sex education - or the lack of it - in B.C.schools may be, Dr. Szasz does not want to see sep- arate classes set up just to diagram genitalia.Better toexpand the courses already taught, so that hu- man sexuality would be included in biology - but its emotional impli- cations might find theirway into English literature, while sexual be- liefs of different cultures and differ- ent ages would be dealt with in so- cial studies. In effect, a panorama of human experience would open up. Sex would lose its threat, and - here is an unexpected bonus - a new respect for our social order would be gained. (“I’m basically a conservativefellow,” admits Szasz.) Idealistic? Maybe. A dozen pes- simisticobjections pop to mind. Wherewould you find enough teachers who could cope with that kind of information? It is a matter of developing what Dr. Szasz calls a“critical mass”, of like-minded individuals in positions of in- fluence. Right now the most crucial group to reach is grades 11 and 12. They in turn will passthe information along to younger friends, brothers and sisters, eventually to their own children.Moreover, parents will acceptsexeducation forthis “group of risk” sooner than for the earlygrades, because the needis obvious and desperate. Whataboutstructuralthe changesthat a “context” educa- tion would require? That involves politicaldecisions, which Dr. Szaszleaves to politicians.He is not interested in pressuringthe government or thepublic: “My Dr. Szasz is skilled not only in the use of teletli.sion, hut also in interview work is planting the seed and let- techniquesto get people to disc~rss sex openly trnd br‘ithout ting it germinate in manyminds.” ernburrussrnent.

This was morethan a 34 per centrate of return, which the committee feels is higher than needed to give the survey statistical validity - to make it valid, in other words, toregard the attitudes expressed as true for all alumni. Several main attitudes towards the alumni asso- ciation emerged strongly from the survey. Alumni generally seem to feel the alumni association does a fine job and deserves support. Some 42 per cent of graduates responded positively to the question on that point, while nine per cent replied negatively and 49 per cent expressed no opinion. Alumni Survey Results This latter result may tie in with another major theme that emerges from the survey: the desire for moreinformation about alumni association activ- ities, and about university developments.

New Scholarship To Honor Harry Logan

A NEW SCHOLARSHIP fund has been estab- lished in memory of one of UBC’smost well- knownand beloved professors. It is theHarry Logan Memorial Fund, set uptohonor the late Harry Tremaine Logan, a long-time UBC professor of class- ics. Prof. Harry Logan joined the faculty of UBC in 1915. Hetaught until 1967, when he reached the age of 80, with two interrup- tions, one for servicein the First World War and one whenhe became Principal of Prince of Wales Fairbridge Farm School (1936). He was British Columbia’s fifth Rhodes Schol- ar, a founder of the Alma Mater Society, editor of the UBC Alumni Chronicle, head of UBC’s classics department (1949-54), a Great Trekker (1960), a member of UBC senate for 24 years and served on the board of governorsfor six. Prof. Logan died in 1971. The Harry Logan Memorial Fund is try- ing to raise $l0,000 so as to produce an an- nual scholarship of $500 to begiven to a student entering the third year of study. Al- ready the response from friends and former students has been most encouraging.As one donor wrote: “As a beneficiary of his teach- ing and of his friendship, 1 only wish that Mr. Jusiice Nuthtrn Nemc,rz, BA’34 a former c,huirman ofthe UBC Board ofGovernors, my contribution could be of more substan- enjoys a joke .following his insicrllrriion us Ch(rncr1lor of URC.

Doug Sturrock, BPE '63, and Fred Sturrock and John Lecky, BA'61, have made brief "cameo appearances." In opposition, former Thunderbirds like Jack Littlehales, BA '65, now with Toronto Balmy Beach,and Mike Bird, BA '68, of the Ottawa Irish have both lifted post-match steins with TMR. Mike Chambers, BA '58, LLB '61, rekindled feelings of awe among the TMR west coast refugees when he put on the hated green jersey of TMR's arch rivals, the Montreal Irish. But the ex-UBCers on the playing list of the TMR aren't the only things making the cluban eastern annex of UBC's Wolfson Field.Twice, TMR hashosted touring UBC rugbysides - in 1966 when UBC visited here under Brian Wightman, and in 1969 whenthey were coached by Donn Spence, BPE '56. UBCwas eminently successful on both tours, and it was with great relish that a reg side of Canadian-born Montrealers, includ- ing Gary Bruce (once again a captain) and BrookeCampbell (a member of the 1966 tour while at UBC himself) from TMR, held the young and aggressive UBC side to a3-3 draw.
