Gym Driver Decision

ApproachesAlthough the intentsive studen t

campaign was concluded on Sat-urday it was decided at a meetingof the Gym Committee on Thurs-day evening that the Alumni wil lcontinue their efforts until De-cember 31 when a report on theiractivities will be presented.

Early in the New Year it willbe decided whether to continu ethe campaign into the spring, tostop all activity until, a later date,or to committee with the buildingThe decision will depend upon th eamount subscribed at that date andthe latter alternative is eondder-ed the most likely in the opinionof Ted Kirkpatrick, committeechairman.

At present the Fund totals$178,000.

If the committee decides tobuild, it will be up to the fund'trustees, Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie ,Ted Kirkpatrick, Garry Miller ,Ole Bakken, and Fred Bolton tcdecide what facilities will be in-corporated Into the building . Aplanning committee under BobOsborne and including three Leg-ion members will act in an ad-visory capacity to the truptees.

Proceeds from the Pep Meeton Friday totalled 33t97.

He stopped at the window an dlooked out across the Inlet at thesnow-capped mountains . "Here inWestern Canada, drinking is treat-ed as a tolerated vice .' You buyyour liquor in a government- con -trolled store and carry it awayas if you'd stolen it .

"Is it any wonder that v. ch anair of 'stolen-fruit' glamour hasrisen in connection with drinkingin yon r country? The government'sstrict control of liquar is amplyinviting abuses of the habit . Whydon't those religlou: organizations

FACE FACTSMr. Melchior went on to say that

the only sensible way to approac hdrineing is not by "hush-hush"methede but by open acceptance ofIt ' as part of our daily lives. Thi swill not, he said, make more peo-ple drink than do now. rhino whodo not care to certainly will nottake up the practice then . As forthe alcoholic: there is no cur tfor him but psychiatric treatment .The most important thing is thatliquor would be stripped of itsfalse glamour an! relegated to itsproper position as a table acces-s,'y which adds to the enjoymen tof one's meals.

Senator Grant is the electedlabor representative of the Stateof New South Wales to the Aus-tralian Senate ; prior to this hewas the labor member of the datehouse of New South Wales.

TRAVELOGUEHe swung into the theme of his

address by mentally transportinghis audience from Sydney via PortDarwin to London, with a few pun-gent and stinging phrases concern-ing points enroute.

Speaking of the working men ofBritain he said, "these people whohave fought twice, are determinedto get what they fought for thi stime." This remark was passed inrefuting the talk of war with Rus-sia . Of the troubles in the Englis hcoal mines he said that the coa lminers have a: last realized tha tthey are an importer' part ofEngland's economic life, and aredetermined therefore, to ga in eeah- ,omlo recognition of this fact.

His opinion of France's collapsewas that the had to quit . She waseconomically rotten, let down bydecadent democracy. "I don't knowwhat could, or what will happenin Francs," he said.

Senator Grant then moved o nto Berlin where he paraphrased th eruin of Germany in the phrase ,"Alle eat Kapat" . The buildingsare simply ttan ;c imps of rubble.The women and children are atthin they appear to break whe nthey bend to weep at the rubble .

He attacked the Russian policyof seizing German industry an dexporting it "en masse", calling itunjustified . He couldn't condoneit, despite the feet that he hadbeen a Socialist for nearly years.In regard to the German electionshe said that, "Hungry people ar einterested In political philosophies . "

FOOD NEEDED"Democracy must be translated

into terms of food, clothing an dshelter to have the slightest effect, "he said .

Senator Grant returned fromGermany to the Paris Peace Con-ferenee, where he joined the Aus-tralian Delegation, of which he wasa part.

He continued, touching brieflyon the Roumanian Settlement andthe Trieste problem .

Students at Stanford Uni-versity, California, are alsothinking seriously about a WarMemorial building.

Christmas Job

Total Mounting

The Employment Agency In HutM7 already has applications forXmas Employment from 520 fore -sighted students .

A sombre note is the fact tha tso far only 600 jobs are availableAll 600 are for the host Office 'which wants extra help from the17th to th 25th of December, vet-erans to get preference. The rateof pay is considerably higher thisyear, having jumped from 50 centsto 70 cents per hour.

"Other jobs are at present a lit-tle nebuloum" commented MajorMcLean yesterday, He explainedthat this is due to the Christmasshopping being done so early thisyear and consequently, the storeswant their extra workers now andnot just six or seven days befor eChristmas. Fortunately, he thdughtthat more requests for help shouldcome in before long.

Tickets for the special preform-ance of Shakespeare's Henry V atthe Park Theatre are still availablein the AMS office .

Thursday night's performancewill be for the students and facult yof UBC only and thirty percent ofthe proceeds will be donated to th eMemorial Gym Fund by Mr . G.'Sutherland of Odeon Theatres .SEATS SCARC E

There is at present before the universityauthorities a proposal to which this editorialtakes the strongest objection. That pro-posal calls for the removal of the secondyear study of a language for the require-ments for the Bachelor of Arts degree .

On the surface, the request merits verylittle consideration, for it was put forth ina motion in the last moments of an apatheti cgeneral meeting of the 1946 Summer SessionAssociation. It has its source however, inthe ideas of a group of high school teachersin the province, and therefore needs very

close attention .

Objections may be taken to the proposa lon two grounds: firstly, in the matter ofscholastic standards at this university; and,secondly, in regard to Canadian unity andculture.

Already weakened at many places by th eover-crowded registration, this university 'sacademic standards should henceforth b eprotected from any attempts to make degreerequirements easier. What can be excused-as necessary expedients for veterans desir-ing higher education in the shortest possibletime should never be regarded as ideal fo ra permanent policy .

It should be quite apparent that, once thesecond year language is dropped, addition-al requests will be made to eliminate Eng-lish 202, or to drop language study alto-gether, or, eventually, to 'remove requiredsubjects entirely. Now is the time to take astand against the so-called progressive ten-dency in education, which would, in theextreme, wipe out the discipline of directedstudy. All too obvious in the past few yearshas been the realization that a "classical "education had its merits and that there isneed for stiffening in educational standards .

The teachers who want to remove th esecond year language are looking back to

Our dear old alma mater has been gettingrather severely criticized in the downtownpress lately, mainly on the score of students 'irresponsibility and general unawarenessof their debt to society .

This, of ourse, is sheer rubbish ; whateverthey may have been in the good old pre-wardays, students are now disgustingly sociall y

responsible; Canadian camui fairly bristlewith social consciousness .

A university issue which made headline srecently and was variously interpreted wasl'affaire Buck . One downtown paper inparticular chose to deal with it in a veryentertaining manner indeed. In its editorialsit first warmly complimented those guard-ians of our morals, the members of the stu-dent council, for their firm stand agains tcommunism—and then, a few days later ,when those defenders of our liberties re -versed their decision, gave them hell.

Well, that was all right. At least the edi-torials were consistent, even if they did dis-regard student opinion entirely.

FINKS

However, in the intervening time betweenthese two editorials, a very bitter and fairl ysubtle column appeared in the same paper—a column which probably has a considerabl ylarger reading audience than the editorials —which started off by attacking the StudentCouncil's original decision re Buck, and thenwent on to thoroughly damn UBC students .

They were described as being :

(a) politically unconscious

(b) interested only in football gamesand fraternitie s

(c) in short, snobs and finks (N .B. Asused here, this last term has positively nosocial significance .)

depression days, when many of them ha dto get their university degrees in spasmodicintervals . which were separated of necessityby years of earning a living. Under suchconditions, they understandably found itdifficult to get through, say' French 2 orLatin 2, after being removed so many yearsfrom French 1 or Latin 1. That, indeed ,was and may be a regrettable situation, bu tit would be even more regrettable to tackl ethe problem in the pessimistic way proposed ,as though those depression days will alwaysoccur every so often .

Would it not be better to work towardsmore government assistance for worthy stu-dents, and to try to raise the scholastic stan-dards in the high schools, so that more couldbe accomplished there, leaving less time-consuming ground to be covered in univer-sity? Still, if that is too remote a possibility ,is there any need to help out a few schoolteachers by taking a step which would un-doubtedly lead to many others in the weak-ening of UBC 's arts faculty?

The fact that this proposal has come fro mschool teachers is very probably a majorindication of what is wrong with B .C . 'seducational organization .

Additional grounds for objection may befound in the ,realization that if the proposalis successful it would be reflected primaril yin the number of students dropping French200. The study of French for several yearsat University does not give the graduate amastery of that language enabling him t oconverse readily with French-Canadians .But it does give him a beginning, and it doespermit him to understand just enoughFrench to endow him with a greater chanc eof overcoming the cultural and politica lbarrier between the two parts of Canada .

Any English-speaking university in thi scountry which would adopt a policy tha twould in any way hinder progress towardsCanadian unity could hardly be classified a sa first-class Canadian university .

Which is very effective and unsound sa-tire. It suits a large section of his readers,though, who have long been convinced ofthe general uselessness of university stu-dents and don 't mind being flattered by hav-ing their sentiments thus publicly endorsed .

COME OUT AND SEEI rather wish this boy would come out t o

the Parliamentary Forum or the Fall Playssome time. Or the Adaskins' Sunday even-ing recitals—if he can get a seat, that is .The only trouble with the last-mentioned i sthat this columnist is awfully good at spot-ting the snob appeal of such entertainment

and might choose to write about• culturalfinks only .

Altogether, this sort of thinking is com-parable to the mental processes of the per-son who's read Sinclair Lewis at a too im-pressionable age and thenceforth neatly clas-sifies all business men as Babbitts, all min-isters as Elmer Gantrys and all students as- - - -hmmm?

STILL FINKSAnd when Mr. Buck did come out here ,

presumably at the invitation of the finksand the politically unconscious, who too ktime off from watching football games t ohear him, there was no apology forthcom-ing from the columnist .

He really couldn't be blamed, though; thatparticular column was a masterpiece and aretraction would have spoiled its effect com-pletely. He picked a type of student—thepolitically and culturally unconscious fink ,if you like—which may or may not exist ,and made that type the mouthpiece for al lstudents.

letters To the Editor Fort Camp Bar SELECTION BOARD OK New Scholarshi pDubious Glory

a. ar Sir :

Congratulations to A . M. Peenfor his letter to the "Ubyasey"concerning our so called "Mem-orial" Gymnasium .

I doubt very much whether thewidows, sons, and daughters o fthose who lost their lives inWorld War I and U will see howanyone can possibly remembe rthe sacrifices of the dead in anoisy gymnasium . I believe Ishould know what I am writingabout because my deceased fatherspent—half of his life after Worl dWar I in Shaughnessy MilitaryHospital.

It seems that students, in tryin gto raise more money for our gym-nasium, have forgotten abou tthose In whose memory the build-ing is supposed to be built. Forexample, the raise in AMS feuwas not really in the interest of

the war dead. Two dollars prob-ably means nothing to a banker' s,on, but it is important to the warwidow's son ,

Although I realize that it isprobably too late to change planenow, it Is my opinion that some-thing a little more fitting shouldbe used to remember the uglinessof war. To quote from Chapterthree of Ecclesiastes, "For every -thing there Is a reason, and atime to every purpose under theheaven;—a time to weep, and atime to laugh : a time to mourn ,and a time to dance—" Let usremember this. Yes, build a gym.nasiirm, but please do not call i t"Memorial."

Noisy MemorialDear Sir:

There has been much discussio nIn this column of War Memorials,In particular UBC's War Memorial.There are those among us wh obelive War Memorials serve a use-ful purpose and those who holdthe opposite view .

Not wishing to start another war ,I believe both view points havetheir merits. Certainly it wouldbe a greater mistake for us to be-lieve that war is a glorious affair ,and I think most of us do belivethat . I think our children will gro wup convinced that if they are tohold up their heads with any prideat all they must go out and fightthe enemy as their fathers did.Even now they feel inferior be-cause they have no dischargebuttons in their lapels and thefirst opportunity they have ofearning them they will be onlytoo glad to seize it .

But by no means let us hush upwar! Let us instead flood the presswith scenes of ravaged farm lands ,cities of rubble, lifeless corpses an ddisembowelled women. Let us goto Europe snd make films of th ehomeless refugees and hunger -crazed children who wander aim-lessly from one pile of bricks tothe next. These are the fruits o fwart This Is what happens whenmighty man girds himself inshining armor and marches to con-quer the foe . Were a War Memorialto be lined with scenes such uthese, some useful purpose migh tbe achieved.

There are those of us who pointout that the useful purpose servedby our proposed War Memorialwould be the training of physicaleducation instructors. Perhaps wedo need physical education in-structors. We all need many things.Just try to find a nail in this city .But the greatest need of all andmost pressing need at this time isthe ability to get along with oneanother . And we haven't any timeto waste fooling around with WarMemorial Gymnasiums either! It isa desperate need of all mankind.We can turn our backs and shirk

*our responsibility and confidentlysuppose that our statement of ourpoliticians or someone else will

• prevent the next war and that allthat we have to worry about isearning a living. But this matterwon't take care of itself—It neverilea. But this matter won't take careof itself—it never has. as MajorGeneral G . B. Chisholm so aptlyputs it—"we must accept the un-comfortable fact that we are thekind of people who figh twars every fifteen or twenty years.We always have, for as far backas we know anything of the race,and if we go on being the samekind of people it is to be supposedthat we will continue to fight eachother. "

It is high time we stopped beingthe same kind of people . We aredrifting back into the same com-placent state of mind in which w efound ourselves after the last war.Perhaps we will wake up beforethe shells start screaming againbut I doubt it . We are too muc hconcerned with Beauty Contests .

By ED ARROLThe biggest little canteen

on the campus is at FortCamp and the student resi-dents own it themselves .

Gone are the evenings,when Maw's iron splutteredto boil water for coffee. Gone ,too, are the weary trips offcampus and the hours lost insearch of refreshment .

Coffee, six cent hot dogs, ic ecream cones and toilet articlesare sold Monday through Fridayand Sundays from 7 to 10, and o rSaturday afternoons .

It all began last year when'stu-dent veterans Stanhope and Vogueraised fifty dollars to open a co-operative canteen in what is nowthe recreation hut.

But early this year the canteenoutgrew its quarters — and shor thours—and a move was mad eMonday, November 18 to half ehut where there is seating spacefor fifty.

Busiest times are at seven, whe na meagre ration of chocolate andgum is sold—and ten, when al linside are served but no more arcadmitted .

Over cups of Fort Camp coffe e—there are six silexes perkingcontinually behind the counter—students discuss lectures, teachersand women, in the reverse order,and Manager - student NormWebb's infant often adds to thebabel .

,CO.OPERATIVE SUCCESSPresent profits from the can-

teen were well spent for ne wequipment . Tangible evidence ofpast profits is a console radio andrecord player, now in the recre-ation hut . Residents may requestfavorite recordings which will bepurchased from canteen funds .

MUSIC LOVERSPLAN NIGHT OUT

The Symphonic Club will holean evening meeting on Thursday ,November 28, at the UBC TuckShop. Supper will be served at7 p .m. and a program of recordedmusic will commence at 8; a com-plete opera, "The Marriage ofFlgaro" by Mozart, and the "Ap-passionate Sonata" by Beethoven,will be played .

NEXT WEEKEND .

UDC Thunderbird boomed'will have more than enough cmtheir hands next Friday and Sat-urday nights . Meeting the CentralWashington Wildcats was morethan the local campusmen couldcope with last weekend . But eventougher will be the opposition ofthe Oregon Webfoots next week -end, since the Duckmen are strong.ly favored to roost high in thePacific Coast conference bookswhen the loop opens in January .

Furthermore, the loop In whichthe Oregonians will be playing israted to have a higher standard ofplay than that of the Pacific North -west easabs loop.

battles over the weekend and although the 'Birdmen couldn' tmanage to pull a win out of the two game series, they di dget the odd shot away, as the above picture shows . Ron Weberis on the shooting end this time with Harry Kermode waitingfor any rebounds.

Junior Grid Saga

Here Saturday

Of interest to all Vancouve,grid fans is the tussle at Varsitystadium on Saturday for suprem-acy in the Western Canadian jun-ior football set-up.

Determined to prove themselvesmasters of the gridiron will beVancouver's squadron of BlueBombers. Behind the split-secondprecision of the local eleven isRanji Matto, noted grid mentor,whose pigskin tactics have racke dup many a victory for more thanone local team, in both city andhigh school loops.

Offering plenty of oppositionand then some to the locales bidfor the western championship willbe the Western Tornadoes of Cal-gary, who haven't made a com-promise with a grid foe in thepast two years.

Definitely to their disadvantageis the fact that their outdoor act-ivities of the past week have beenlimited to walking to and fromthe chalk talks ably administeredby Rev. Father J. A. Wheilhan

Old Man Winter, recentlypresented the Albertans with anample supply of snow.

Heavy snow falls on the localski slopes and heavy gym work -outs have prepared the Varsityskiers for the biggest year in theVOC's history .

This year, under the guidance orcoach Peter Vajda, the ski teamIs rapidly nearing peak condition .Gym classes, week-end ski tripsto Mount Baker and a proposedtrip to Revelstoke for the Christ -mu week will prepare the teamfor Western Canadian Ski Cham-pionships held in Revelstoke, Feb-ruary 6 to 9 inclusive .

An Inter-collegiate ski meet be-tween the Universities of Albertaand Saskatchewan, and possiblyManitoba is tentatively slated forthe middle of February at Banff.However, the team would like toenter both events and thus, plansare underway to hold both tourn-aments in close succession .HOPE FOR BOTH

If this is not possible, the teamplans to enter the Inter-collegiateevent and forget the Westernmeet.

If the team doesn't crash thewinning circle, it won't be thefault of hard working Vadja whohas been giving Friday noon hou rlectures to all interested skiers InAp. Sc. 204. These talks are freeand everybody should attend. Skitechnique, turns. avalanche warn-ings and other important infor-mation can be learned under Vad-ja's direction.

Last Sunday at Baker saw Vad-ja with some of his star pupilsout getting some early practice .The howling blizzard which wasprevailing all day failed to damp-en the spirits of the ski stars.

All VOC members must paytheir dues to the AMS office byDecember 7 .

Hoop Fans See 'Birds DropTwin Bill To Wildcat Squad

The feathers of the Thunderbird tribe remain ruffle dtoday after a hard weekend . The beloved hoopla artists o fthe Blue and Gold were defeated by a pack of angry Wild -cats who were just a little too rough and ready, (with theemphasis on neither one) for the local darlings . Friday nigh tsaw the 'Birds go down 54-40 before the Central Washingtonquintet and Saturday night they were taken to the tune of

The Friday night affair wassimply a matter of not being ableto hit the hoop . To say the least,the shooting was not hot . It wassaid in some corners that it wasnot even warm . To make mattersthat much worse from the spec-tator's point of view, the play waspretty rough around the hoop sothe fans missed many of the scor-ing plays that go with good hoopla .

There was the ocasslonal sparkof glory from both teams however ,Varsity got off to a quick startrunning the score to 8-1 beforethe Wildcats could realize that thegame had started . Once they gotthe idea though, it took them notime at all to rack up nine pointsand continue to hold the lead fromthere on in .

Harry Kermode led the Blue andCold quintet with 13 markers tohis credit but friend Nicholson ofthe visiting squad equalled thismark and Harvey Rude chalked upone even dozen .

Saturday night seemed to be abetter night for basketball eas faras the 'Birds were concerned, butonly for a part of the evening. Thistime it was the Wildcats who start-ed strong, the men of Oz comingback to take the odd lead andthen lose it again throughout mostof the first half.

Half time saw the ThundArbi dson the top end of a 23 .21 score.That seemed to make the 'Birdmenannoyed however because aboutthree minutes after the second halfthe Students had taken a 31.24lead .

That proved the downfall of the'Birdmen, however, for it seem sthat the Wildcats were somewhattaken aback and had to do some -thing about it . They did just thatand took the score to 88-all . Fromthere on In, the lead see-sawedback and forth, usually with thevisitors scoring and the 'Birds ty-ing it up.

A couple of times though theWildcats scored without giving the'Birdmen a chance to tie the countand that is what won them thecontest .

Fouls were the order of the nigh tas both teams took an abundanceof cracks at the other guy andtherefore stood by and watchedthe odd free shot hit the hemp .A tote; of 51 personals were metedout by the eager referees and eve na technical was thrown at the'Birds for ;delaying the game" .

Once again the main work wa sput on the shoulders of the firststring but even Pat McGeer wh oled the local scorers with 12 pointshad a hard time from the foulshod line . Ritchie Nichol playeda hard game, scoring 11 markersbefore having to leave the floorfor being overly aggressive withthe referee.

THUNDERBIRD PUCKMENCLIP CLIPPERS BY 6-4

UBC Thunderbirds climbed into a third place tie withNanaimo Clippers on Saturday night, trouncing the Clipper s6-4 in a fast Pacific Coast Junior Hockey League contest atNanaimo. The 'Birds jumped into an early first period lead

and never looked back .Bob Saunders and Stu Johnson

each banged in two goals for theBlue and Gold sextette while LloydTorfason and Greaves scored oneapiece . Greaves also got an as-sist and played a bangup game forthe Birds. Murray Wiggins playeda steady game in the Varsity netsbut his team had a definite edgethroughout.

back into the endurance picturewhen he placed sixth in the ebm-ination race, last Wednesday.
