"Memorial Before UtilityFor Gym" Stresses Legion

Declaring that the War Memorial theme takes priority ove rthe War Memorial Gymnasium's utility design in event of con-flict as to cost or design, members of the Advisory Committe erecently tabulated results of their informal- discussions for th eguidance of the general committee and the Board of Trustees ,War Memorial Gym .

The interim report was compiledfrom discussions held by membersGrant Livingstone, Dave Brousson an dJohn MacKenzie, A draft of formalrecommendations will later be incor-porated in a brief and presented tothe Building Planning Committee .

ADDED EXPENSEMemorial theme should suggest more

than a "Hall of Heroes", the corn-mittee advised, and it should forman intrinsic part of the building'sarchitecture . This would necessitatespending more money; also it maymean a slight sacrifice or adjustmen tof the utlilitarian efficiency of thebuilding.

Details of the committee's reportcite the Peace Tower of Ottawa' sHouse of Commons building as anexample of design, to be adapted tothe Gym's main entrance. The sug-gestion was also made that the hai linclude names of British Columbianswho sacrificed their lives in two worl dwars.

No expense should be spared tomake the War Memorial Gym a sacre dchapel of remembrance, the commit -tee report reads. Recommended is analtar to be constructed within the Hallof Heroes or for a cenotaph to bebuilt in a suitable location where Re-membrance Day observances could b emarked .

ATMOSPHEREThe Legion oonimittee advised tha t

the main hail have an atmospherewhich would make it suitable forspeeches, ceremonies, convocationsand concerts as well as fulfilling itsprimary function as a gymnasium .

The committee feels that if theirideas regarding the Memorial aspectare taken seriously by the BuildingPlanning Committee, extra supportmight be tapped for the constructionof a Provincial War Memorial in theform of a gymnasium .

An early meeting of the full Build-ing Planning Committee was urged ,

Youth AuthorityScores Housing

Inadequate housing facilities ateone of the chief causes of juvenil edelinquency in the opinion of Mr .F. C . Boyes of the Vancouver NormalSchool, according to his Social Prob-lems Club address delivered in Art s

100 last Thursday ' noon .He explained how congested living

conditions led to juvenile delinquen-cy and described the overcrowdedconditions in Vancouver today . "I ncite home in the West End we discovered thirty families, all using onebathroom ." he declared. Our object-tive should be "One home, one family ;and in that home no strangers," h econtinued .

He described the agencies estab .lished for assistance, the Family Wel-fare Bureau, the newly formed Fam-ily Court, the Juvenile Court and theIndustrial Courts. Of preventitiveagencies he said, "If we could (eta!) .fish an adequate housing agency w ewould accomplish much ."

"Every year we are spending mu-lions setting our most briliant gradu-ate engineers to work to find waysto salvage more of the waste produc tof industry. Our delinquents may b ecompared to this waste product Whensocial engineers go to work on thisproblem, we're going to do a grea tdeal with this 'waste product!" h econcluded ,

SINK OR SWIMWith regards to the quick establish -

ment of the school, a grim, now-or-never spirit seems to prevail amongpre-med students themselves.

A student who refused to be quotedby name remarked that "If we don'tget the medical school now, we'resunk,"

,Entrance to an American medica l

school, he aid, could be gained onl yif one is refused entrance to threeCanadian institutions.

He cited the case of a veteran frien dwho had graduated from USC in 1945with an 84% average, and had "thrownin the towel" after failing to get int oa post-graduate school .

Spring ConferenceCalled For I S S

International Student Service wil lhold a Canadian Conference in Tor-onto on February 22 and 23.

The last meeting of the CanadianCommittee decided that the need fora national conference has been feltfor sometime through a desire, ex -pressed on almost all campuses, toexpand the activities of ISS to in-elude more than relief work .

Funds to cover the expenses of thedelegates will not be taken from thegeneral relief fund but shall be raise dby a private subscription .

"The government spends 22½ mu-lion annually on curatives for TB an dmental diseases alone," Pat Fowler ,vice-president of the Pre-medical Un-dergraduate Society told a reporter .

He said that a school at USC woul dform a center of medical research andmedical aid for the whole province .

DEFICIENCYB. C., Fowler pointed out, suffers

from an alarming deficiency of medi-cal research centres, that even in Van -couver there were few, if any, suchlarge scale laboratories.

Appeals are to be made directly tomembers of the Legislative Assembly .

All UBC students are asked to par-ticipate in the drive since "if medicalcare is of interest to all, it deservessupport from all," Fowler said.

"We have it on unquestionable au-thority that the government can af-ford the expense. "

A medical school would enhance theprestige of the university as well, hesaid .

ISS Delegate

To Speak Here

Extreme astonishment and admira-tion of the growth of USC in th epast four years was registered bygraduate Gordon Campbell when in-terviewed Monday . National execu-tive secretary of the Internationa lStudent Service, Mr .

"The general attitude of UBC i nuniversities across Canada is one o famazement. Even in Detroit they'reasking about 'that man MacKenzie"he stated .

A member of the Canadian delega-tion which toured western Europe las tsummer he stated that "We students i nCanada living in the 'lap of luxury 'scarcely appreciate conditions in Bur -ape, E'ooks are so scarce in Praguethat I saw students copying texts inlonghand . Their plight is a great dealmore real than ours .

"The ISS," he continued, "is a poli-tically neutral and religiously impar-tial organisation which is a service i nthe thirty-one countries in which i toperates . It is based on the principl ethat books are not enough .

"The ISS considers the peace to b edynamic and not a static conditionand in bringing students into livingcontact through study tours, studentexchange plans already formulated ,conferenceS and publications, it be-lieves that . . . it is making a practica lcontribution to world peace,

"Mr. Porteous implied that I wa strying to rush through the report t okeep him from running as Juniormember," continued Dewar . "If hehad been at the previous meeting h ewould have known of the final meet-ing, which he claimed he knew noth-ing about . "

Dewar offered to explain any ques-tions by USC members, and discussionfollowed on several points .

A recommendation by Pat Fowlerurged the acceptance of the report andthe deferment of criticism of th eamendments until after the elections .

This recommendation was defeated,and no definite decision was reachedby the meeting.

Fraternity Probe

Rejected By U of I

TORONTO, Jan . 7, (CUP)—Debateat the University College Parliamen tat the University of Toronto endedin a vote rejecting an investigation ofalleged racial intolerance practiced byfraternities .

The actual subject of the debatewas "Resolved that this house ap-proves the investigation for allege dracial intolerance by fraternities,"

Heated comments were exchange dby the various participating partiesin the 4bate. The speaker's state-ment that heckling would be allowedfrom the floor within the limitsraised much criticism .

By a decision of its executive, theUniversity of Dritish Columbia Branc h72 of the Canadian Legion will askLegion Branches throughout B.C. to

give support to the UBC pre-medica lstudents' full and active campaignfor a medical school, Legion President Grant Livingstone announce d

today.

The UBC Legion states that the ywill ask support by resolution andlocal public action for implementatio nof a resolution passed at last March'sprovincial Legion convention. Thisresolution was reindorsed by the B .C .campus at the Dominion conventionwhen it was announced that the medi-cal school would not be started thisyear, and . UBC branch 72 was thenpromised full support for any cam-paign launched.

According to Legion officials,Branch 72 and the pee-med ac'Iubwithheld their campaign until laStweek in order not to compromise thenegotiations of the university authori-ties .

The circular letter stresses the va-lue and necessity of a .ProvineielMedical :coI to the whole of 'AC.and the fact that several ltni rveterans at UBC, and hundreds . .other students are now unable to gainentrance to any medical school.

PROVINCE-WIDE COVERAGEll provincial branches will be cir-

cularized by the UBC branch in orderto present them with the case to rthe medical school asked for by theUBC Board of Governors and turne ddown last week by the provincialgovernment.

APPROACH VICTORIABranch 72 will ask the provincial

command to make special and stron grepresentjons to the forthcomingmeeting of the Legislature and wil lask all branches to bring the mud -mum public pressure to bear on thecabinet and their Ideal members fo rthe establishment of the school .

Legion officials state that if BC, i sever to have its own medical schooland Wit is to be of any use to theveterans, who postponed their mechee lcareers in order to serve their coun-try for their best years, now is th,etime for public opinion to force th

e issue while the provincial governmenthas the money for it.

The Legion hopes to see the demo-cratic method of the public over-ruling governments, work on this is -sue to give B .C . a lIrst-4c18ss medicalschool by 1948,

There is no charge for the X-ray.

The results are confidential and they areshown to the person examined within a fe wdays .

For one month, beginning February third ,UBC students will have the opportunity oftaking the test on the most modern equipmen tin Canada by simply walking over to theHealth Service office to make the appointment .

There will be an opportunity for everyon eto take the test. That opportunity applies againthis year to those who took the test last spring ,for TB is communicable, university studentslead hectic lives, and it does not pay to becareless in the fight against the disease .

These have all been statements of fact.Is there anyone who needs to have the con-

combat with an instructress, it became appar-ent that they weren't going to teach me t odance. (For one thing, she couldn't get me t otake corners, my style demanding either anextremely long ballroom or a partner whocould enjoy a good, solid ricochet off the wall .One day as we stood before a window shufflin gand straining at a 45-degree turn, I glanceddown into the street to see a fair-sized crowdgaping up at what they must have presumedto be a life-or-death struggle, one of us tryin gto hurl the other out the window . )

Since they couldn't teach me to dance, theimplication was strong that I couldn't walk .They didn't say so, but I could read it in theireyes. They knew my ability to move aroundon my hind legs was that of a trained elephant ,ready to drop back on all fours if tossed apeanut.

So, to me dancing in the street is not wha tVancouver needs at this time . Besides, whatstreet could we dance in? Most downtownstreets are so full of craters that only a recklessfool would try even a minuet amongst them, Isometimes dream a scene in which I'm waltzin gwith Rita Hayworth on Richards street, and wewaltz straight into a bottomless pit outside th ePioneer Laundry . Every six months a littleman from Public Works comes along and dropsa shovelful of hot tar on us . Horrible dream.

Now, if this street dancing is the Mayor'sidea of an economical way of filling the pot -holes in the city's streets, I think he shouldsay so, instead of creating the impression tha tpeople will just have a good time and be abl eto go home afterwards . If, on the other hand ,he intends merely an innocent type of munici-pal amusement, he should send out searchparties now to find a flat, wide street, well -paved and well-lit and somewhere north ofthe 49th parallel. It's not too early .

Five thousand eight hundred Canadians die dlast year of tuberculosis . That total was onlyone-quarter of What it was fifty years ago, butit was still so tragically serious as to mean tha tTB caused more deaths than all other infectiou sdiseases combined .

A break-down of the total shows that th ehighest death rate occurred in the fifteen tothirty-four age group .

There is, however, firm ground for hope, forof all the serious maladies TB responds mostfavorably to treatment—providing that it i sca tight in the early stages .

It is comparatively easy to catch the diseasebefore it has reached the serious stage, thebest method being the chest X-ray.

That X-ray may not only show TB symptom seven before the TB begins to make the victi mfeel unwell but also may indicate the existenc eof some other malady .

The MummeryOne of Mayor G . G. McGeer's most widely

proclaimed election promises was "There willbe dancing in the streets ." This was one plank

in the Mayor's platform which, when I stumb-led onto it in the newspaper, sprang up and hitme right on the nose. And now that the streetshave cleared of snow and the weather is warm-ing, I am becoming increasingly uneasy aboutthat loose plank, particularly since the Mayor i sone of those politicians who defy tradition b ycarrying out their election promises .

He hasn't said yet whether this street danc-ing will be compulsory, but judging by theaggressive vigor with which he has led theGrand March in the Police Department we canprobably assume that it will be. That's whatworries me. I dance like a spavined camel, andmuch as I yearn to be a good citizen and amus ethe tourists I view with alarm the possibilityof walking peacably down Granville streetsome evening and suddenly being hustled intoa nearby polka by a cop anxious to please thechief magistrate.

"And where d'ya think you're going' in sucha hurry?" asks the cop, his knee pressed affec-tionately into the small of my back. "Surelynow you have time for the Pender polka? "

I have trouble enough making my way down-town at night as it is , buffeted by Americansailors charging into the wake of trawling fe-males, or walking absently into the arms o fpule witnessing Jehovah, without being draf-ted into a street dance.

Besides, I, have learned from experience tha tno woman interested in the future of her fee twill dance with me, indoors or out, and I loo kpretty silly dancing by myself, even with atambourine . I once took five dollars' worth of

Back To NativeDear Sir :

Although Father Chaloner's dero-

gatory remarks about the Mardi Gra s

chorus are decidedly unworthy of re-

taliation, I feel that his smug right-eousness on the matter should not go

entirely uncorrected . His commentsare so ridiculously impotent that I

think he can only recently have bee nawakened to the rude shock that th e

good Lord actualy created legs underthe clothes in which women usuallyappear .

On page six of the Vancouver Dail yProvince of January 22, the pious

Father is quoted as saying that th einterpretation by the Mardi Gras

committee of Balinese dancing cos-tumes is not based on fact ; that the

modest Balinese would be horrifie dat the exposure of legs . In UBC's 'in-accurate' interpretation, Father Chal-

oner could see no clothing from th e

hips down—and he was looking ver y

hard. It is quite true that the cos-

tumes are technically inaccurate, but

It is not simply a gap in my lifeto be filled with a supersaturate dsolution of academic knowledge, bu tii is a part of my life. It offers me abasis on which to build an under -landing of tolerance, of independ •nee, of democracy, of an infinite

number of similar ideals.

It is possible to attain knowledgethrough private study, but it is fa rfrom possible to attain that intangiblesomething which is found only a tthe university .

But ih alma: impossibte to co h-ceive the incredible stupidity andviciousness that could bring abouttwo great wars in a generation andthen begin to prepare for a third ;or that could watch one depressio ncontinue for a decade—and then pas-sively accept the inevitability of an -other even more serious one .

The man who asserts himself bom-bastically as he drives hither an dfro wouldn't dream of precipitatingwar—silly to suggest it—+but he andthe nation then pushes toward hos-tility both suffers from the same dis-ease—a short-sighted and self des .tructive selfishness .

the size of an orange . We have all the

equipment we can use—but not theemotional integration to use it co-operatively.

It is this integration then that i sand always has been—the big prob .lee. Jesus saw the solution in aworld united in brotherly love—thechurches have carried on the workto a union In fear and a division inhate . The Renaissance philosophersattempted to ball! union on a rationalrealization of the usefulness of manto man—and what they devised be -came Fascism; a perfect state for theperfect machine but hardly the on efor man. The poor anarchist decidedthat there was no solution, and head-ed for the woods with his wife a this heels .

the nation, and finally the world,into a united whale. Union on thebasis of convenience—a synthetic stateinto which man enters for the bettersatisfaction of his individual needs—can never resist the disintegrating ef-fect of selfishness and short-sighted-ness . A state so united can never bemore than a collection of parts .

It is only ,by the development of theemotional consciousness of unity—this is what Jesus wtas driving at i nthe concept of love—that we can es -cape from this machine age coldness—this world schizophrenia—into an in-tegrated world of whole humanbeings .

I was shocked and righteously indig -nant myself at what the learnedFather is here suggesting, for ofcourse, with the obvious depth ofeducation he displays in his lettersto the various editors, he knows thatthe true Balinese dancing costumeexposes that entire portion of thefemale body which lies above thehips . Is this what he wishes to see ,rather than that portion from thehips dawn? How can he suggest suc ha shocking thing as exchanging thebare leg for the bare torso, simplyso that the Balinese will not send t oB .C. a formal protest aainst suchgross misrepresentation of their cos-tumes as we have dared produce ?Although the Balinese have been fol-lowing this practice for some cen-turies, I feel sure that if we wereto copy them thus exactly, ever yman, woman and child in our coun-try would be reduced to completemoral ruination in the space of afew days! Is this, then, the terriblething the Reverend Father is wish-ing upon us?

Yours truly ,Neil Monroe,

REPLYDear Sir :

In regard to last Thursday's edi-torial, it is true that there were regret-table misunderstandings connectedwith this year's McGoun Cup de-bates, and it is the also that th eParliamentary Forum was in par tresponsible . The confusion unfor-tunately delayed the release of ac-curate publicity, a fact as painful tothe Forum as it was to The Ubyssey .It was not, however, the Western Uni-versities Debating League that was a tfault, as the editorial stated, but thevarious debating organizations withinthe league who succeeded in confus-ing each other . To the extent of itsown carelessness the Forum is mos tapologetic .

There are certain statements, how -ever, in the editorial which I feel nee dclarifying . The statement that Forumofficials have phoned The Ubyssey forinformation of its affairs is misleading .The reference is apparently to Dr .Crumb, the Honorary President, wish-ing to discover the origin of the Mc -Coen Cup Debates through the fileof The Ubyssoy, information whichhe had unsuccessfully sought fromForum executives, and which the let-ter had not been able themselves t odiscover, and to the secretary of th eForum not having received informa-tion from Saskatchewan which wasoverdue, phoning to enquire whethe rit had been sent to The Ubyssey in -stead of the Forum.

The Forum this year has been en -gaged in more activities than ever be-for: a weekly radio round table pro-gram on which forty student speakershave already appeared, McGoun CupDebates, the Fresh Debate with Vic-toria College, the Mock Parliament,the special weekly forum far begin-ners at public speaking .

It has this year successfully nego-tiated ddbates with seven Americanuniversities. In scene cases there willbe return engagements .

I mention these items only to dem-onstrate that it is impossible for anyone executive member to know fromday to day specific details of eachForum actin+ity, as the conduct of eac hhas to be delegated to individual ex-ecutive members . It is therefore con-ceivable that "senior executives ofthe Parliamentary Forum have no tbeen able to tell the paper Just whichmembers were on the road duringtheir American tours." Moreover, forthe tour in question, our efforts werehampered by last minute withdraw-als of team members.

The Forum appreciates greatly theexcellent coverage by The Ubyssey ofour efforts . That coverage, we admit,has sometimes been in spite of dif-ficulties encountered in gaining ac-curate information, and for these dif-ficulties, we apologize. We shall infuture attempt to remove them

Yours truly, DAVE WILLIAMS,

Parliamentary Forum.President

Ed. Note-It is incorrect to say that

the fraternities and sororities were"supposed" to pay $25.00 per page inlast year's Totem. Though they shouldhave paid for those pages, they wer enever definitely made to commit them -selves in that regard. Thus, the AMS.could not legally force the fraterni-ties or sororities to pay any "bills "for the pages . This year the Greekshave been made to commit themselvesdefinitely to paying $25 .00 per page,plus twenty-five cents per perso nwhose picture appears on it. Whetheror not the Gym fund has any claimupon $25.00 IFC cheques which no wdo not exist is a matter for the Gymfund people to take up with the fra-ternities .Dear Sir:

In past issue, The Manlier hasprinted several reasons why the 194 8Totem was not a complete success. Iwould like to point out another one.

Last year each fraternity and sor-ority was supposed to pay $25.00 forthe privilege of having their pictureappear on a separate page in TheTotem. Twenty-one pages of TheTotem were used up printing thesepictures and yet none of the sororitie sor fraternities paid up. The resultwas that the AMS (that's us) lost$525.00

Each year the fraternities must de-posit a $25.00 cheque with the Inter-Fraternity Council. Last Februarythe IFC voted to donate these cheques(12 fraternities $25 .00—$300.00) to theWar Monomial Gym. In March, thissame IFC voted to use the chequesto pay off their debt to The Totem.(Perhaps if the year had been a littlelonger they could have also used thesesame cheques for a variety of otherpurposes) . As it was, the chequeswere turned over neither to the WarMemorial Gym nor to The Totem .

The fact that the 1FC voted to payfor their pictures makes it apparentthat they were fully aware of theirdebt to The Totem. Unless someonecan give a better explanation than Ihave received, i .e . that nobody remem-be+ed to send out the bills, I think i tis the duty of the present Studen tCouncil to. rectify this error of its pre-decessor. Another 1525.00 certainlywouldn't hurt the Gym Fund .

DRIVERSAND WARS

A few days ago I found myself with a two hope space in m ytimetable and nothing to do, so I went for a calk; not along theboulevard or the Mall, but in the woods surrounding our uni-versity . The air was cool and fragrant, and strangely conduciv eto thought. I asked myself this question: "What does this lifemean to me; this life at University? "

To some people it means hard workand study and little time for recre-ation. It means taking a degree andleaving the campus without consider .ation of its significance in their lives .To them, it is merely a stepping-ston eto the future, but to me, it is a greatdeal more than that.

Letters TO The Editor

What TrepidationDear Sir :

In the Saturday, January 25 issu eof The Ubyssey, there appeared aletter from some one who carries onunder the, title of "B . A. Hobbs—Arts47". This letter states, under theguise of an interest in public welfare ,that compulsory VD tests are nec-essary at UBC "since the services di dnot compel vets on discharge to beVD tested . "

In dealing with these obscene in-sinuations of a puerile mind, severa lpoints need clarification. In the firstplace, all veterans on discharge re-ceived, albeit with some trepidation ,a complete blood test ; and no serviceran was discharged without a cleanbill of health, The second and mostimportant point is that such suggest -ions are a slur upon the good nam eof all veterans .

The writer of the letter was ob-viously not a veteran, or he (or she )would have known of the bloodtestsat the time of release from the ser-vice . And if the writer is not a vet-eran, the insult becomes doubly ob-jectionable.

The writer is to be congratulate don having escaped from the perils ofVD, seemingly so apparent in theservices, just as he (or she) is to b econgratulated on having escaped al lthe other hazards of war for civil-ization.

Sincerely ,Johnny Norris.

TORONTO, Jan. 77, (CUP)— Abou ttwenty members of the Toronto Un-iversity Atomic and Rocket Societ yparticipated here in the first tests o frockets built by the group . A bitingwind, and freezing temperatureshampered operations somewhat, bu ttwo rockets were tried out.

Henry Shanfield, a chemical engin-eer now doing postgraduate work ,built the first rocket, from a 30-inc hseamless aluminum tube . Completewith its wooden nose-plug and tailfins, the rocket weighed just undertwo pounds . The combustion chambe rwas packed with nearly a pound ofhome-made gunpowder .

The rocket eras set up in a verticalposition, and an electric detonatorfor the gunpowder, with a boostercharge of sulphure and potassiu mnitrate, was connected to a relay de-tonation circuit.FIZZLE

While spectators retreated from thelaunching site, the relay circuit be-gan to buzz. The retreating onlookersturned around. No smoke, no roar.The relay buzzed and buzzed, butnothing happened .

The second rocket, built by AlgyRosenberg, IMP & C, was set up .Considerably larger, It was built o fsoldered tinplate . This time the rela ydetonator worked . There was a flash,a roar, and a brilliant orange flameshot down from the rocket's tail, thegeneral effect being reminiscent ofthe launching of a miniature V2. Jus tthen the wind gave a stronger blast ,and Rosenberg's rocket toppled over,and continued to burn itself out . Itwas evident that the charge was in-sufficient to lift or move the threeand a half pound projectile.

As a final touch, the rocket explod-ed, throwing flame and smoke in all

directions. The power of the chargewas sufficient to blow a hole in theground, and the stems had fallenapart under the intense heat, con-servatively estimated of 7000 degreeFahrenheit. Some explosions of thistype have been known to attain near .ly 5000 degrees, Kurt Stehling, presi-dent of the club stated .

Shanfield's rocket was set up for asecond attempt, this time on a 45degree launching rack . Again the re -lay buzzed . Adjustments ; more burz-ing . Suggestions came in from by-standers, and the camera enthwiastademanded some action . Experiment-ers tried electric sparks, flaming wadsof paper, and, finally ,cotton wad ssoaked in turpentine.

SUCCESSThat did it . The flame ducked out

of sight inside the tube, and the ob-servers were getting ready to try a-gain, when suddenly the rocket quiv-ered uncertainly, an orange flamegushed out the back, and then it shotup the launching rack and into theair .

When it reached a height of 15 feetit exploded, wobbling in its flight ,and pitching down to the ground .There it exploded again.

Examination showed that the chargehad blown one hole through the hull ,and then blown the head off.

The riveted construction of Shan-field's rocket had stood the test andunlike those on Resenberg's rocket ,the fins remained firmly in place .

On the spot conclusions: (1) Thepowder used was all right . (2) A bet-ter method of detonation is needed.(3) The rocket will have to be con -trolled somehow . (4) This is no tim eof the year to be doing outloor ex-perimental work .

Lack of national educational plan-ning was scored by Dr. G. E. Hall,president-elect of the University o fWestern Ontario, in an address be -fore the Toronto Board of Trad eJanuary 13.

Speaking on "Canada's Response .bility in Higher Education," Dr . Hall'saddress closely parallelled the ad -dress here of Dr. Wider G . Penfiel dat the Fall Convention . The basis ofhis argument was that higher edu-cation should be placed on a nationalproblem basis.

Dr . Hall criticized the motion thatany "superior" student, regardless offamily financial status, could obtaina university education. "This idea,"he declared, "is definitely contraryto Net, for it is always the big dol-lar sign that counts in every univers-ity in the land ."

Dr. Hall also deplored the fact thatmany professors and deans were be -coming less educators and more bus-iness executives, owing to the desire sof many universities to expand phys-ically.

LAKE LOUISE, Alta .—After a slight setback in the slalomevent by the Montana State ski team, the UBC skiers staged acomeback in the downhill and giant slalom events to win th ethree-way combined in the first international inter-collegiat eski meet at Banff on Saturday and Sunday ,

Although they had several of th e

fastest times in the various events ,

the Montana team bowed to UBC

whose consistent steadiness proved

the old proverb of slow and stead y

winning the race. Under the guid-

ance of Peter Vajda the Varsity plank -

men out-pointed the third-spot Al-

berta team and the runner-up Mani-

toba squad who suffered the loss o f

as team member when Ray Beck broke

his leg in the downhill practice .

GAR TOP SLALOMITE

Fastest individual time in the two

slalom runs went to Garvin Robinson

of UBC after the hefty Blue and Gold

stavernan twisted and turned down

the course in 1 minute and 37 seconds .

In the downhill event UBC's Arnie

Teesdale placed second behind Jack

Davis of Montana when Davis mad e

the 1500 (vertical) foot drop cours e

in a record time of 48 seconds . Fourth

and fifth spots in the same event went

to John Frazee and Jerry Lockhart ,

both of UBC .

In the only weekend soccer game

featuring a university team the blue -

shorted UBC squad dropped a close4-2 decision to New Westminster Leg-

ion on the upper stadium field Sat-

urday afternoon . Because of poor

ground conditions at the Collingwoo d

home park the Varsity-,Collingwoodfirst division game was cancelled .

Bill McKay opened the scoring on

a passing play from Jack Blackball ,

Blackball drawing out the Legion de-

fence and McKay making no mistake

on the setup. The vets obtained the

equalizer shortly after to make the

score 1-1 et the half .

McKay then put the student squad

ahead for the last time on a brilliantcross-shot. At this point, however ,injuries broke the back of the UBCattack with Russ Guest receiving adislocated knee and Else Genoveseand Meade McLeod suffering, fromother assorted leg ailments. Withthese three out of the game the vetsrammed home three quick goals tosew up the game and remain withinone point of second place Coquitla min the loop standings.
