Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 23, 1981, Winnipeg, Manitoba A Winnipeg free press tuesday june u of m president ready to tackle new challenges Mediterranean Ghana Kenya next stops for travelling troubleshooter by Manfred Jager to Donald Ralph Campbell Home is wherever he happens to hang his hat. I s always been that Way and his five years As president of the University of Manitoba Haven t changed that Oise bit. Cmpbell leaves his u of m Post Friday. At 62, he in t about to retire. In fact it s out of the question for the economist. He still has several intriguing places to Call Home Home it s really nowhere. I be travelled around so much in my if he was forced to Call one place Home it would have to be Haliburton because our cottage is there Ontario because that s where the kids in Fine health Campbell never thinks of retirement. I be been quite Active All my life and i thrive on it. There s no need to change As Long As i enjoy facing new Winnipeg where Campbell became president of the University of Manitoba on july will live in my memory As one of the happiest places and times of my life. After All this is where i married Ruth years All a blur Campbell s first wife died several years before. But Campbell says the last five years have been Happy years for other than family reasons As Well. They be gone by so rapidly that it s All a blur looking Back. Sometimes it feels As if i just arrived Here a few weeks ago. Manitoba is a Lovely place and really does have a lot going for it a lot More than people realize. If i had to list the advantages of this province to someone wanting to move Here i d first of All mention the friendliness of the people Here. I d talk about the economic conditions which Are quite encouraging. And i would Tell them about the climate which i think is a great plus for he adds that the Only real criticism he would make about Winnipeg and Manitoba is that there seems to be sometimes a level of self criticism of the province that is not in my mind justified at Manitoban he explains sometimes get Down on themselves. I Don t understand it. A company locates Here for example and the first thing people say is now Why would this firm come to As for his years at the University s fort Garry Campus Campbell says the atmosphere at this University has been trailer proves grim reminder of near tragedy to family of 3 by Murray Mcneill every time Marie Surridge and her Young son walk out the Back door their St. James Home they Are faced with a grim reminder of a near tragedy the family on May 31. The grim reminder is a Edson Jasper camper trailer. The near tragedy was a Flash explosion in the trailer s propane Furnace which scorched mrs. Surridge s legs and feet and sent her husband Bryan to Hospital with Burns to 50 to 60 per cent of his body. Since the explosion which the sur Ridge s say was caused by a defect in the Furnace mrs. Surridge has been trying to get a fort Garry trailer Dealership to take Back the trailer and refund their Money. The family s lawyer Leonard Lucas said yesterday however that the dealer Sampson s trailer City 2627 Pembina Highway has refused to re fund the Money and the family is now considering Legal action. Lucas said officials from the Provin Cial fire commissioner s office and department of labor examined the camper after the explosion and determined there was a piece of pipe missing which allowed Gas to build up in the Furnace instead of being carried to the Burner. The most the Dealership has agreed to do is take Back the trailer and sell it on consignment for the couple. The couple would have to pay Sampson s a sales commission and a fee for storing it until it is sold Lucas said. He said there s obviously going to be Legal claims involving the in As Well As a possible claim for a refund on the trailer. Glen Sampson general manager of Sampson s trailer City refused to Dis cuss the matter when contacted yester Day. Mrs. Surridge said her son Grant 3va, was playing in the Yard and saw his injured father immediately after the explosion. He s at that age where this has made a very deep impression on she said. He s scared of the camper. He s scared it will catch fire although the trailer is a 1980 Model the Surridge s bought it new last month from Sampson On the Day of the explosion Surridge had been testing the fridge stove and Furnace in the Back Yard of their Home at 984 Cavalier drive. After carefully following the operating instructions he was Able to get the fridge and stove working without a hitch Surridge 34, explained in an interview yesterday from his bed in the health sciences Centre Burn unit. But when he followed the directions for lighting the Furnace it did t work he said. So he shut off the Gas line valve and Bent Down in front of the Furnace to look through a Small peephole to make sure the Pilot Light was still on. Surridge said he opened the cover to the peephole and suddenly it just seemed to explode out at me. There was a Rush of flames that just seemed to be coming right out at me and engulfing i just scrambled out of the camper As quickly As i he said adding that although he was Only wearing a pair of Cut offs i did t know if my clothes were on fire or what so i rolled around on the mrs. Surridge who had stepped into the camper seconds before the explosion suffered Burns on her legs and feet and a neighbor who heard the noise from the explosion quickly ran Over and drove the couple to the Grace Hospital.

I be never had so Many say i to me on Campus As i did what Campbell found when hear Rived in Winnipeg five years ago was what a colleague and former adminis Trator described to him As a University at but it still held More than enough academic and administrative Chal Lenges. Challenges have always drawn Campbell to new jobs. Some time before the u of m presi Dency became available he had declined an offer to be on the final selection list As a presidential Candi Date at another Canadian University because this other Campus was run Ning too recalling the meetings and discus Sions which led to him coming Here Campbell recalls the challenges Here were substantial. Manitoba looked like an interesting place to a few months later there were a couple of times i can recall saying to my wife i came Here looking for Chal Lenges but this is ridiculous there has been no shortage of things to do at the University of Mani Short Money a contributing Factor in All this has been the fact that Money has been in Short Supply during Campbell s ten ure. Manitoba universities have made use of Public opinion to achieve political leverage for increased government financing and Campbell sees that As fully justified and in the Public interest. More Money for universities is clearly needed Campbell says. The decline in the Quality of Educa Tion so far has not been drastic but it s discernible. If you had one Microscope for every two students before and now five have to share in it then there s obviously a he says administrators must continue to work on the direct relationship with the government. Already we be been somewhat successful going from Grant increases of 2.8 per cent to 6.1, 8.25 and now 13.5 per cent. I m convinced that is not Only be cause of an approaching election in this province. It is a manifestation of the fact that the University is seen As an essential educational resource which must get better financial support. Parts of this University still Are hopelessly outdated and much More needs to be while Campbell the economist predicts continued Progress for m Manitoba he does t see Boom times ahead. Campbell has spent five years just As this province in t too Likely to get in on the massive economic activity of other Western areas Campbell says it probably won t be greatly affected by the economic problems now being faced in the East. There s a growing Industrial base in Manitoba now. We be gone through a tremendous transition in agriculture from growing almost All wheat to rape seed Corn and other highly marketable the province s labor Force is stable compared with some other areas in at the University of Manitoba. Says and the education system has managed to avoid some of the mistakes others have made. I think Manitoba will continue to hold its the Campbells will spend a few Days at their cottage in Haliburton then take a Mediterranean cruise followed by a month Long economics consulting assignment in Ghana. In september Campbell will go to Kenya for a two year stay As consultant on a government development project another Home another Chal Lenge. Med.
