Proceeding further and going o n to discuss the reasons behind th e formation of the bursary, Dr. Dick- son says, "Could he (George Prin- gle) express a wish in this matter , it would undoubtedly be that h e might continue to render suc h worthwhile assistance . A number of his local associates have con- ceived the idea of providing an en- dowed Bursary at the University of British Columbia which woul d continua in perpetuity and would be awarded annually to a studen t who exhibits as nearly as possible the same high character attribute s as those so evident in our departed friend .

The closing o f Varsity did not affect the re stilts, as all those girls which were to receive bids, go t them before January 20 . Alpha Phi led the sororities , pledging four girls, Nancy Grieves , Mary Vl Watson, Marjorie Wood , and Audrey dePencier . Throe other sororities pledged one girl each ; Alpha Gamma Delta, Bar- bara Moresby ; Gamma Phi Beta , Kathie Patterson ; Alpha Omicro n PI, June Taylor .

These associates of his are from largely OUTSIDE th e University and it is they and NO T the University who have assumed the responsibility for raising th e funds for the Bursary . The Universary could not tak e responsibility for raising the funds of the Bursary because, as Dr . Dickson pointed out, since there ar e several hundred University gradu- ates in the armed services, the University could not accept the re- sponsibility of setting up a mem - orial Bursary for one graduat e killed in action without setting u p similar memorial Bursaries for al l graduate students killed in action , and that, of course, would be im- possible. Plans drawn up for "The F .O . George Robert Pringle Memoria l Bursary" call for the sum of $8,50 0 to be raised as soon as possible , meaning within the next tw o weeks . The interest from this sum would amount to approximatel y $250 annually . LEADERSHIP NEEDE D This interest would be the su m total of the Bursary which woul d be awarded annually to some stu- dent who has completed his Thir d Year and is proceeding to hi s Fourth Year . A student, to be eli- gible for this award must sho w evidence of academic ability, soun d unselfish character and active 'lead- ership and participation in UB C athletics. To organize the task of collectin g the money needed for the Georg e Pringle Bursary, a Central Com- mittee has been set up and alon g with it a great many sub-commit- tees which will each have charge of a district . The Central Committee, whic h will meet this evening at the Hote l Grosvenor, consists of : the Uni- versity Men's Athletic Directorat e tar. Dickson, Mr . M . Id. Van Viiet, ,Dr. Cameron, Lynn Sully, Charli e Long, Harry Franklin), Ron An- drews and Ted Baynes represent- ing the Alumni, Chuck Jones an d Mart Gordon representing basket - ball (at which sport George Prin- gle was an outstanding guard) , Ruth Wilson (also representing th e Alumni and a member of th e girls' team which George Pringl e coached), Mack Buck (a member of the DU fraternity in whic h George was member), Rann Math - lion, member from New Westmins- ter, and a large number of Georg e Pringle's friends in the interior . It is expected that a UBC sub - committee will be organized soon , doubtless under the direction o f Lynn Sully . To aid the Pringle Bursary fund, there will probabl y be a basketball game and maybe a Pep Meet . Until the UBC sub-committee has been organized, students wishing to do so, may give their donation s to the Pringle Bursary Fund at th e Publication Board office . Mus .

No manwas more looked up to . Georgelived a life of helpfulness to hisfellow creatures."

Proceeding further and going onto discuss the reasons behind theformation of the bursary, Dr. Dick-son says, "Could he (George Prin-gle) express a wish in this matter ,it would undoubtedly be that h emight continue to render suchworthwhile assistance. A numberof his local associates have con-ceived the idea of providing an en-dowed Bursary at the Universityof British Columbia which woul dcontinua in perpetuity and wouldbe awarded annually to a studentwho exhibits as nearly as possiblethe same high character attributesas those so evident in our departedfriend .

The end of this period marks theend of Sorority bidding for thisscholastic year. Next fall ,thlsyear's freshettes will get theirchance .

SPONTANEOUS DEMAN DThe Bursary which Dr. Dickson

describes was, and it cannot bestressed too strongly, decided on asa result of the spontaneous demanddeveloped among his many friendsand admirers that such a Bursarybe set up. These associates of hisare from largely OUTSIDE theUniversity and it is they and NOTthe University who have assumedthe responsibility for raising th efunds for the Bursary .

The Universary could not takeresponsibility for raising the fundsof the Bursary because, as Dr.Dickson pointed out, since there areseveral hundred University gradu-ates in the armed services, theUniversity could not accept the re-sponsibility of setting up a mem-orial Bursary for one graduatekilled in action without setting upsimilar memorial Bursaries for allgraduate students killed in action ,and that, of course, would be im-possible.

Plans drawn up for "The F.O .George Robert Pringle MemorialBursary" call for the sum of $8,50 0to be raised as soon as possible,meaning within the next twoweeks. The interest from this sumwould amount to approximately$250 annually .

LEADERSHIP NEEDEDThis interest would be the sum

total of the Bursary which wouldbe awarded annually to some stu-dent who has completed his ThirdYear and is proceeding to hisFourth Year. A student, to be eli-gible for this award must showevidence of academic ability, soundunselfish character and active 'lead-ership and participation in UBCathletics.

To organize the task of collectingthe money needed for the GeorgePringle Bursary, a Central Com-mittee has been set up and alongwith it a great many sub-commit-tees which will each have chargeof a district .

THE UBYSSEY

Friday, February 5, 1943

• From The Editor' : Pen » * *

40 BeersFor next Tuesday's issue we are turn-

ing over the editorial and news work to th emighty men of Science, who will produc eissue number 27. Leading the red-shirtjournalists will be none other than the re-markable Mr. Backman, and to Bill and hisassociates we would like to extend a heart ywelcome, and to thank them for the holida ywhich we get when they take over .

In days of yore Sciencemen were takento be rather rough and uncouth individuals ,coarse fellows who spoke in roaring voices ,frightened women, drank El Stuffo, neverread-anything but technical magazines, andemerged from the confines of the App .Science building only to remove trousersfrom unwary Artsmen . Those days 'friendshave gone, we hope, forever .

Two things came about which havechanged the entire picture . First amongthese was the introduction of an Englishcourse which was calculated to teach th etechnical men English as she is spoke (an dwritten) . The second was a personality rath-er than an event, we refer again to our bo yBill Backman .

As to the English course, taught byProfessor Morrison we feel a personal at-tachment. In one of our early editorials wesplit an infinitive. We have split them be-fore and will undoubtedly split them again .Professor Morrison, however, was not con-tent to pass it over with a shrug. Ratherhe used it to demonstrate faulty English tohis merry students, and now we find tha tmany of our second year Science lads rea dour editorials merely to find grammatica lerrors (a pursuit, so they delight in tellingus, which is very fruitful and negatively in-structive) thus providing us with somereaders .

The business of having to take Englishwas met with suspicion by most of the die -hard Science lads, and they fought it in theirown manner for some years . Time, and wesuspect the perseverance of Professor Mor-rison, took care of the obstacles and now th eonce-dubious students are true supporter sof English 3. They gleefully inform us thatall reporters should be forced to take it ,then the UBYSSEY would conform to th ehigh standards of grammar set by theScience readers .

In this case we would like to illustrateby using the case of Mr. Ed. Benson, aScience stalwart from away back. When wefirst knew Ed he was one of the most charm-ing illiterates (not to mention a darn fine

AC2 Nicol, EricR 20461 4

Dear Bob :I am in receipt today of your letter o f

sometime inst ., and I should like you toknow that it has proved a wonderful count-er-irritant to a laundry bill for eighty cent s(80c) also received today . The latter wasproffered by an oriental individual when Iattempted to leave his establishment withmy laundry, and I can describe his attitudeonly as being blatantly commercial . In amasterful display of self-control, I tried toshow him arithmetically exactly why i twould be impossible for me t6 live for th enext week in the manner to which I was ac-customed, viz,, to the accompaniment of food ,if I paid him the eighty cents. Whereuponhe proceeded to show me, by means of ashort hatchet produced from beneath th ecounter, just why it would be impossiblefor me to live in any manner whatever if Ididn't pay him the eighty cents . Although Iwas legally entitled to an argument in re-buttal, my every instinct rebelled agains tcreating a scene. Insouciantly, I tossedeighty cents onto the counter, a flurry o fnickels and pennies .

"I suppose you ARE Chinese? " I sneer-ed, the implication being that his attitud ereeked of Japanese imperialism .

"You go now," he replied, evading m yquestion and continuing to brandish th ehatchet in a fashion that was in no respec tredolent of southern hospitality. "Me belongto tongs ."

NEW ENGINEER.The Backman case is sensational, it is

unprecedented, but it is true and we shouldexpect it to be stranger than fiction ,

Backman is a Forestry Student, whichqualifies him as an engineer, and as such itis taken for granted that he would not beactive on the campus . But, as Jabez onc esaid in awed tones, Backman can read! Back-man can write! And we might add, Backmancan argue! So alone, but definitely not be-wildered, Big Bad Bill set out to pioneerthe Science trail in the great campus beyond .

Scarce an AMS meeting went by with -out the audience being thrilled or chilledby the scathing Mr. B. He entered the Parl-iamentary Forum and crushed genteel Arts -

• men with his power of expression . Of coursethe art of expression which he gained inyears at logging camps is another joyfultalent of Arvid's (he should play golf) bu tit is strictly for Men Only. Mr. Backmanentered the Publications Board and rose tothe , rank of Senior Editor, his greatest a-chievement, from which heights he scare dthe-daylights out of cub reporters and dis-gruntled subscribers. Then "Willy the BoyWonder", culminated his career by becom-ing Treasurer of the Student Council . It issaid that he found time for the latter jo bwhen at least half the Engineers learnedhow to read. It was no longer necessary fo rBill to spend his Tuesdays and Fridays read-ing the UBYSSEY . to an open-mouthedgroup gathered in the common room .

The movement is spreading . We findmore Sciencemen on the Pub, in the Players 'Club, the Parliamentary Forum and a hos tof other campus organizations . New worldsare beng opened, trails are being blazed andwho knows what next? The next, presidentof the Letters Club may be a Scienceman .

Not that I mind living in a boardinghouse, you understand . Serving in a warwhich will see the survival of the fittest, Icould find no better training ground than aboarding house dining room or salle d eguerre. It requires years of patient appren-ticeship, nerves of steel, and a bull-dog de-termination to get in to dinner first, andstill have enough teeth left with which toeat it .

The dining room is kept in impeccabl eorder, though, with fresh sawdust sprinkle don the floor every day and the bodies of th eless fortunate tenants stacked neatly in th ecorner. On the walls are a number of re-markably fine trophies, . including a moose-head on one side, with the inscription, "ShotAt Mud River", while on the opposite wal lhangs a well-preserved tenant-head, wit hthe inscription, "Shot at Taking The Thir dLump of Sugar" .

On a table at the end of the room ,under a green light, sits a fat jar containinga pickled human brain . Whenever a tenantfalls behind his rent, she makes a pointof removing the pickled brain during lunch ,and serving the tenant boiled cabbage fo rdinner .

As I have been here only two weeks ,I have yet not eaten enough food to knowwhether she is a good cook or not . I doknow, however, that she has her specialty ,something which she never tires of our eat-ing, and that is canned peaches . In this lifeof uncertainties, we can cling to the know -ledge that we shall always be having can-ned peaches for dessert . The woman is apositive wizard with the can-opener .

Then there are, of course, those occas-ions when she favours us with a specialtreat, such as canned pears . We always kno wwhen it is a special treat because a neo nsign lights up above the kitchen door, read-ing "Special Treat! Special Treat!

• FIRST let us say that itis not my intention to

try to dissuade any aspiringco-ed from running for theoffice of president of theAlma Mater Society. On thecontrary, she would receivemy respect and admiration .

For a woman, to contend for th emoat important position on thecampus, must have a great dea lof courage and confidence in he rown% ability. To be the first wo-man nominated, to break a tradi-tion of years standing. requireseven more.

Not only must she possess thes equalifications, but also all thoseothers which are necessary . in fil-ling the position of president, suc has initiative, the ability of main-taining control, foresight, and soon. One other which is perhapsof minor importance is that she bea good speaker. That ability I sone which is seldom found amongwomen either because of lack o finterest or lack of training.

e THE FACT THAT womenhave this year been elected

class presidents shows that thestudents realize the uncertaintyof the men's position at the uni-versity in these days of war, andthat they acknowledge the capa-bilities of the feminine membersof the Alma Mater Society . How -ever, there is a vast difference inthe requirements of president ofthe Student Council and that o fa year's class .

Women, in dealing with wome nand women's business have prove ncapable and successful, as pastgenerations of WUS and Phratere spresidents prove. Whether theywould be able to carry on thebusiness of the whole studen tbody as well is a matter of con-jecture and doubt on the part o fthe majority of student.; now.e I BELIEVE there are man y

co-eds who would serve aswell as a man, had they the cour-age to assert themselves . The tro uble is, that girls have not had theopportunity to gain the necessar yexperience in previous years. Awlthat lack of experience, or lackassumed by the electors, is wha twit be the major obstacle in he rcampaign .

Women have entered politica lelections in public life end hav enot been very successful becausethey cannot inspire confidence i nthe electoral body as a man can .Why, I don't know, Maybe its arelic of the clays when a woman' splace was in the home, and no tbuckling rivets at Boeing's .

that she is not so eagerly soughtafter by the government as ar emen, is that she would probabl yhave a lighter time-table than a

man. Assuming, that is, that therewill be few senior clasr Artsmen returning to the 1943-1944session, as it would appear now

For a woman to take over sucha job in peace-time would be diffi-cult, but to attempt it now whin

the country is at war is doubly

so. She would have to deal wit h

military authorities on subjectswhich few women know littl eabout, as well as to regulate the

university proceedings under al -ways uncertain circumstances .

If a woman is nominated for th e

office, I offer her my hearty con•gratulation., and while I shall notguarantee her my vote simply be -cause she is a woman, I shall con-aider her platform and her quell.ficatlons before I should cast m yballot against her for the samereason .

Penny Fund In Aid OfRed Cross Starts Feb. 16• THE PENNY DRIVE, originally scheduled for this week

has now been set by the War Aid Council to run for five

days, from February 16 to February 20 .The purpose of the drive is To

raise sufficient fundk to completethe Ambulance Drive quota ,which was left unfinished in the

fall term because of the apath yof the students and the pressur eof examinations upon them ,

It Is estimated that at least $450must be raised in order to fulfilthe commlttments mach by th eWar Aid Council for the fall termThis must be done before theCouncil is free to go on with fur-ther projects for the spring term,which is already half finished .

QUAD CHALKEDIn order to keep the drive nea r

Queens U.Speeds , UpGraduation• , TORONTO, Feb. 8 —

(CUP)—Arts Courses atQueens University are to beaccelerated, according to arecent ruling by the Facultyof Arts . The ruling will notlessen the amount of workrequired, but will enable stu-dents to graduate earlier .

Under the new ruling studentslacking three subjects for a de-gree this May will be able tograduate this autumn. Similarly ,students who have 10 courses to-wards a degree this May will b eable, by taking courses during th esummer months, to graduate inthe fall of 1944 instead of th espring of 1,94945 .

An informal survey conductedby the Toronto Varsity found thatall members of the staff of theUniversity of Toronto were uni-ted in opposition to any such homeat Toronto.

Students and professors alikethought that vacations were necee .sary for most students to earntheir fees, and that if the courses,ordinarily quite extensive, wereextended over the holidays "brainfag" might result.

No other universities in Canad ahave as yet adopted a similar rul-ing to Queen's .

Additional calls came in forbrawny boys to move woodpilesand one woman requested a well -mannered boy to move furniture.

At the present time there is ademand for solicitors with goodsales appeal but as yet there arefew openings In jobs for the sixtygirls and one hundred thirty-fiveboys registered for part-time work .During the inauguration of theBureau in October letter. weresent to sixty firms but responsewas somewhat unsatisfactory .

"Vancouver firms are co-opera-tive but naturally reluctant to em-ploy part-time workers when theycan still obtain all the full-tim emen and women employees they

need," explained Bob Whyte, hea dof the Bureau . "Seattle studentshave no difficulty whatsoever Inobtaining part-time work," headded,

The Bureau Is confident of agreater request for student-work-ers in the spring due to increasedmanpower shortage. Meanwhilespecial effort is being made toplace the students registered. TheBureau also plans to advertise inthe financial pages of downtownnewspapers to gain wider recog-nition both among students andbusiness firms. Several ex-studentshave already written asking forpart-time jobs including diagruntl -

-ed ex-students now at Vernon .

Details regarding 'summer work,although indefinite, may be obtain-ed at the Bureau, It will be openon Monday from 12 :30 to 1 :30 . Stu-dents may obtain information afterhours by phoning KErr. 4207L orALma 0885R .

• VARSITY'S INTER A TEAM gave promise of things t ocome in the forthcoming playoffs last Wednesday at King

Ed gym when they threw a real scare into Ted Milton's un-beaten Higbies quintet. The final score (38-31 for Higbies )was not a true Indication of the closeness of the battle for themajor part of the contest .

of readers. Yes, after going to all the trouble of makin gup a gigantic photo-quiz contest, not one answer was sen tin, And with a grand prize of a case of coke to the wizn er,too. My, I'm disgusted . That means that I will have to drinkthe whole case of coke by myself (it says here) .

Coach Denietrie Elefthery'acharges were really out to

make a name for themselves an dthey certainly went about it thoright way. Strengthened by 6' 5"Ches Pedersen and ex-Calder Pa tCampbell, the Inter A's started offstrong and swept to an 11-5 leadin the first quarter.

IHGM= ALARMED Higbies, getting somewhat

alarmed at the prospect of havin gtheir record winning streak shat-tered in their last game of theseason, played heads-up ball inthe second quarter and succeededin shortening the Varsity lead bythree points to make the half-time count 17-15 for the Thunder -birds.

It wasn't till late in the thir dquarter that Higbles took the lea dfor the first time, 21 .27.

In the last session, the men ofMilton were no better than theywere throughout the rest of th egame, but they played good, soundball and took advantage of themany breaks which the over-anx-ious students threw their way ,pumping in nine points to Vas .ity's four to end the game on thelong end of a 38-31 score .

At present ,the two UBC InterA teams are In a rather unusualsituation . UBC, after winningtheir game against Frosh are nowtied with Varsity for third place .However, Frosh have one moregame to play ,against the las tplace Sparlings team . Varsity hasfinished its schedule and it woul lseem that the first-year boys standin a fair way to finish the seasonIn undisputed possession of .thirdplace .

Coach Art Johnson's boys, how-ever, are not very fussy abou tfinishing in third place, all bytheir lonesome, because such amanoeuvre would mean that theywould be facing the first-placeHlgblea' team in the playoffswhile Varsity take on the much-weaker outfit from Now West-minster, known as "Gregory-Price.It is highly conceivable, therefore ,that the Frosh, by generous useof their second string, may loseto Sparlings, leaving them stil ltied with Varsity for third .

If this happens, Inter A Presi-dent, Joe Hall, states that the t1will be decided by the toss of acoin . Joe, who is nobody's fool ,is taking no chances on a sudden -death play-off between Varsityand Frosh stinking out his gym,with both teams trying their levelbest NOT to win .

Soccer CalledOft For Week,Adams Stars• SOCCER IS ANOTHER ono

of those sports that has beenput on the shelf for a few week sbecause of the cald snap . TheUBC boys last played on Januar y16 and have no hopes of playingfor the next week at least .

Hard grounds made play diffi-cult on that Saturday, but ourteam made the best of what con-ditions were and triumphed 1 to0. Then the snow came and thenmore cold so that every game hasbeen cancelled until further no-tice .

The soccer team got away to avery slow start this season, butare really rolling now. Their lastvictory over the Navy was theirfifth straight. Mel Oughton an dGordie Johnson, both star players,have been removed to GordonHead lately . Gordis was theplaying manager of the team . Toreplace these two players is onenewcomer who has showed ex-ceptional talents. He is F . Adams ,and recently scored 5 of 8 goalsfor our group.

• Off The Cuf fBy CHUCK CLARIDGE

• Wills, THE FAMILIAR stink of rum and maple mixedwith Glencastle (bought in fifty pound lots according t o

that long-winded gent Maury Soward) will no longer waf taround on the gentle breezes in the Pub :

Yes, another man has lost interest . It seems to bequite the right thing to do this year. First it was that neetZeet who started the fashion by walking out on us at a crucialmoment, now a vital member of our sport staff has followe dsuit and left us flat .

W. D. W. IS THE MANI am refering to none other than William Dodge Weis -

ford, called by some of us who know him intimately as"Tubby" . I know he loathes that word but it is so suggesteivto the mind able to assimilate such thoughts .

This is the third person who has been lost to the sportdepartment of the rag this season . First Comrade Art Eatondecided that he would join the Army (foolish thought) andleft us without our chief satirist ,

"CLARK GABLE" WENT TO O

Then just before the first Christmas vacations Bill"Clark Gable" Galt left for Edmonton to take up trainin gwith the RCAF. He was the editor of the page before takingup his new position . Since he has been on the prairies, Bil lhas grown a cookie duster and with his large ears they comb-ined to give him a "Clark Gable" appearance that was readilytaken up by his mates, I don't see it myself but that is wha the told me in his letter.

But to get back to the Welsford case, his right to aclaim of lost interest is a just and true one .

'TWAS A COLD DAY

Bill was born' one wintry blustry day way back in1921 at St . John's, New Brunswick, January 11 to be exact .At the tender age of about three, four or five he moved ou tto the evergreen playground (heh, heh, heh) and settle ddown on 18th Avenue . After some years at this residencehe then moved, with his family of course, to his present abodeon 23rd Avenue, just across from Valdez Park .

He took elementary school training at Lord Kitchene rSchool, then moved on to Kitsilano for Junior and SeniorHigh, graduating in 1939. The University of British Colum-bia came next and, now in his fourth year here, Be hopes tograduate with a B.Com. Oh, yes, he's a Beta .

HE'S IN THE NAVY NOW

But to get back to his just claim to losing interest,W. D. has just been accepted for the Navy and three nightsa week of training gives him a full program, with no time forPub work.

So, I forgive you Bill . All we need is a couple of newreporters. Someone who can write a few SHORTstories .Maybe I should 'write a few myself . I think I will .
