2. All bookings for eveningfunctions will be submitted to th esociety for a decision on the rela-tive merit of the application.

In the event that some applica-tions for bookings by downtownorganizations are referred to Mr.Lee's office by mistake he wil lsend the society a copy of th esaid applications.

FAIRVIEW SHACKS RETURN TO UBC

The UBYSSEY, September 25, 1945, Page 2

A University GraduatesEditorially ' speaking, this is the time of

the year for a condescending welcome tofreshmen, but at the University of Britis hColumbia, as across Canada, the trend haschanged, and freshmen in green are com-pletely overshadowed by arrivel on thecampus of approximately 1800 service menand women .

President N. A. M. MacKenzie, in hi saddress to newcomers Thursday, stated tha t"UBC is now one of the big three Canadianuniversities . "

Technically, this is so when the record -breaking enrollment of 5,000 is viewed withthe expansions of social service, forestry, andmany other courses and faculties, the intro-duction of law, and coming realization ofmedicine and pharmacy . In a few strenuousyear this university has been boosted to thetop in the Canadian educational field by th eadministration .

But, in spite of expansion of educationa lfacilities, no university can be more matur ethan the type of citizen it produces, espec-ially if the student body is accustomed t othe degree of sell-discipline and self-govern-ment which it possesses at this university .

A certain degree of maturity has beennoticeably lacking here in the past . In pre-war days the university itself was young,

• AT THIS time of year advice to fresh-men is the standard topic. In the years

past leaders of student activity have some-how neglected to call the upperclassme ninto a huddle and give them a few wordsof guidance which in some cases are badl yneeded.

AU too many of our sophomores, juniorsand seniors have somehow developed theidea that everything the university has t ooffer may be obtained in classrooms andlabs. They miss entirely the benefits ofextra-cirricular activities .

For instance, students have been knownto attend UBC for four years and never se tfoot in the Brock . They never realize thatthere is a time in every man's life when acouple of hours "wasted" in a budge gamewill do more for their mental well beingthan an equal amount of time spent in thecarrels with Bill Shakespeare.

Ever since the Brock was built, Councilshave attempted to ket students to make fulle ruse of the building that they themselves own.At the beginning of the year the freshme nfill the lounge but gradually the noveltywears off and soon they too go "big time"and follow the seniors to the more conven-ient caf. Around the middle of Novembe ryou could mistake the lounge for an under-taker's waiting room.

Once in a while an upperclassman will fin da couple of friends with simillar interests . 'If he is really up on the constitution of AMShe realizes that if he and his pals form aclub, elect a couple of officers and presenta budget they will have a fair chance o fgetting their activities subsidized .

In nine eases out of ten any new club onthe campus has a mere freshman somewher ewell up in its list of promoters . Freshmenare the only ones who bother to read the

Former students may not realiz eit yet, and some may be loath toadmit it, but the University ofBritish Columbia they knew inwar years died this summer and anew one was born."BIG TIME" EBA

To be frank, the university hasgone "big time ." Whether studentswill bow to this and follow thetrend, which new students willtake es the normal thing, will de-

dda whether this mission will be

and although later wartime demands neces-sitated university development, wartimestudents, scarce in number and pressed fo rtime, did not seem to develop in all wayswith their university . The present campu sbuilding problem is an analogy : UBC hadthe concrete foundations for growth bu tlacked building materials .

However, merging of 1800 former servic emen and women into the student body wil lmean that for the first time in its histor yUBC will have an opportunity to graduat enot only academically but spiritually fromits freshman stages and become a seniorovernight in the Canadian educational field .These 1800 should bring the badly-neede dstudent maturity needed for this graduation .

Although newcomers are wearing greenthis week, it is more in recognition of acertain bit of campus tradition than an in-dication that the student body will take onthe ways of the freshmen this year . It ' sdefinitely not a year for freshmen .

The realistic UBC slogan "Tuum Est" hasnow taken on a new interpretation . Withthe arrival of these 1800, "Tuum Est" cannow be applied to the rest of the university ,and the faculty and administration has al -ready done its part .

fine print in the back of the "Tillicum "They are eccentric enough to want to knowwhere their money goes.LITTLE BLUE BOOK

In short, it is time for every upperclass-man to borrow a copy of the little blu ehandbook from the nearest freshman andread it from cover to cover. The facts thathe will learn about his duties and rights wil lprobably astound him. He will also dis-cover the names of members of council, whatsocial functions are taking place and when(this feature alone is worth the price ofadmission) and who won the Big Block lastyear.

If he reads to the very end he will besurprised by the collection of songs and yellswhich every UBC man supposedly knows .If he would only take the trouble to learnor relearn these literary gems and rende rthem at the top of his voice when requeste dto do so at the next pep meet the resultantboost in university spirit would probabl ycause the Mamooks to drop dead of shock .BIG THREE

Our university is now one of the top threeof Canada. Considering the extreme youthof our institution this is something to b eproud of. The time has arrived for the stu-dents to develop a college spirit that i ssecond to none, even if we are separatedfrom the two nearest universities by th eRocky Mountains and the international bor-der respectively . When in the enar future ,we meet them again on the playing fieldsand in the debating halls . We must havedeveloped a fighting spirit that will makeour opponents feel they are meeting toughcompetition .

Freshmen always have this fighting spirit ,but how long it will last is determined by theexample set by the upperclassmen,

orderly or hectic . Whether or notthe controlling interests of UB Cactivities in the past will be pa-cious enough to bow to the inevit-able, or smart enough to climb onthe band wager, will ae the decid -Ing factor in whether student ac-tivities will, to put it crudely, go"big time" or still wallow inmedocrity .

And before some well-meaningperson goes oft half-cocked aboutthe large number of returned menon the campus, and what changesthey might insist on, I want to pu tin my two-bits worth. Returne dmen aren't going to cause anytrouble unless some pink-face dcomittee chairman picks a fightwith them. They're here to get aneducation, which Is more thansome students are. As far as Ican see, they don't want anybodywriting "helpful hints to returne dservicemen," unless, perhaps, it isone of their number. Returnedmen, I think want to become justplain students as teat as possible ."HOODOOS" TO VANISH

There is one upset of the bulg-ing registration that points to afew changes. Sheer weight ofnumbers is going to force a re -alignment of student politics. AtUBC there are 18 parties ell withthe same platform. Nine parties

are composed of men, nine of

women. Those not in any part y

are unorganized as yet and prob-ably never will be so nobody wor-ries about them .

A swelled registration will prob-ably be a big monkey wrench i npolitical "machinery" which work-ed so successfully in the pas tgrindhy out assorted varieties ofstudent officers.

There is, one caution far frater-nities and sororities. They aregetting the acid test whether theywant it or not. With so manypeople to choose from in rushing ,there is the danger of being fussyIn picking the crowd over . If toomany hopefuls are left behindeach year, and especially thisyear, the non-greeks may growand grow and grow until , they notonly are in the majority, but areorganized at well .

Being one of the great unwash-ed, I can be blunt about prospectsfor UBC organizations. The blunt -eat way I can think to put it no wis that the actions of establishe dgroups this year will decide whe-ther five years from now they wil lbe alive, and as usual, kicking, o rwhether they will be as extinct asKing Arthur's round table . Inother words, just a lewd.

By BARRY MATHER(Reprinted from the News-Herald )

• PRESIDENT MacKEN-ZIE of the University o fBritish Columbia has ap-pealed to people who do no tnormally take in roomers tohelp out this fall with thehousing crisis on the campus.

It seems the regular boardinghouses have been booked up longsince and there are still hundredsof out-of-town students who haveto live in Vancouver if they aregoing to attend the coming term .

I read this in the paper the otherday and it interested me, probably

because my wife had some girluniversity students last fall andplans to have some more thistime .

That's all right with me .For one thing, I am In favor of

as many of our young people supoulble gaining a university edu-cation. They afe the citizens oftomorrow.

For another thing I am in favorof Mather getting some rant ou tof a spare bedroom. He ls,a citi-zen of today. .

In case you are thinking ofboarding a student or two for th e

first time, let me give you the se-cret of success.

The main thing to do about uni-versity students is to make thempart of the family .

They probably wont like beingpart of the family at first, butnever mind, they will get used toit. After all, neither they nor yo ucan live together and maintainthe formalities of strangers.

HOME LIFEWhen the university girls got to

our house they were feeling lonelylike . Strangers in our city, theymissed the old familiar ways ofWest Summerland .

I made them feel at home righ taway —I let them cut the hedgefor me .

That was the start of the "al lpart of the family" policy . Weand the girls got on fine .

It was no time before they werehelping my wife do the dishes .

It was even less time before theywere keeping me waiting to ge tinto the bathroom.

I did things for our girls likehelping write an essay on "MyFirst Impressions of U .S.C."

The fact that I have never at-tended U .B .C. gave me a freedomof style that gained me the bulkof a box of Macintosh Reds fromthe Okanagan.

Later we established a domesti cmutual aid plan. My wife and Iused to go out ' on Saturday nights.The girls and their boy friendsused to look after our baby .

Another thing I liked with thegirls around, I got to read theUbyssey and all the new murde rmysteries.

WORK AND WAGE SI am afraid I can't tall you much

about the extra work in boardin gstudents. My wife only says dark-ly that it is not really much moretrouble to make dinner for fivethan it is to make dinner for three ,

Also I do not know very specifi-cally how much money she madewith the lodgers .

I defy even Iisley to understandmy wife's bookkeeping—in fac tshe does not really understand i therself. At a guess, I would sayshe cleared about $35 a month .

But the point is that if you getalong with them there is muchmore to boarding university stu-dents than cooking meals and col-lecting rents .

I do not know what the girl s

thought about us, but after awhile we really found it nice tohave them in the house .

They gave our place a certainsomething it didn't have before.Maybe it was a dash of adolesc-ence .

When our friends visited us andthe girls were around I used to bekind of proud to introduce them .

I felt, somehow, that I had go tt o be a pretty solid sort of citizenwith two girds in the house going

"HOUSING PROBLEM "Background history of the

"trailer travels" of Mr. and Met.Douglas is a mixture of determin-ation to get an education in spiteof housing difficulties, and shee rluck, Owner Tommy Douglas ,former RCAF Wireless Operato rhad made up his mind this sum-mer to enroll in second year elec-trical engineering at the Univer• •sity of British Columbia . Theonly thing stopping him was lackof accommodation for his prett yblond wife, Doris.

"Then early in the second weekof September we met an airmanwith a trailer, "badgered" it outof him for $1600 and decided to se tout from Calgary for the Univer-sity of British Columbia, bringin gour housing accomodation withus," recalls Tommy.

The couple spent six days onthe road travelling through Ore-gon and Washington and rolle donto the university campus Mon -day, September 10 . They weregreeted with joy by universit yofficials harassed by the studenthousing problem .

"ROOMY',' TOOTommy, who had formerly com-

pleted his first year of electrica lengineering at the university, wil l""have plenty of room to study"according to his wife, Doris, wh opoints with &light to cupboardspace crammed in every conceiv-able corner of the trailer home .

"I can find more cupboard spac ein our trailer than in the three-room suite we had in Calgary, "she explains proudly .

The trailer is modern in ever yspace-saving detail from miniaturevenetian blinds to the compac ttwo burner electric range withoven, in the two-by-four kitchen .

Frat Tables to GoIn Rush Hours, CafCzar Dictates Here• SOME 300 UBC students who

will have to be fed three mealsa day by the univdralty dininghalls will add a major problem tothe already overtaxed facilities ,acording to Frank Underhill, man-ager of the cafeteria,

When the present expansionprogram is finished sometime inthe next few weeks, the universit ywill have the cafeteria in th eAuditorium building, snack bar sin the bus stop, Brock Hall, In th eblock of lecture rooms and office sbehind the Auditorium building ,and the Brock Dining room.

BOB OSBQRNE TO TAKE OVER MEN'S SPORT SFormer Grad, HoopAs Van Vilet Gain s

By LAURIE Dl'• AS UBC STEPS into a new pha

now that the war is over, she donew Director of Physical Education .been prominant at Varsity in theCOTC, has already started work t owill restore sports to its normal p e

Although UBC was fortunate ingetting one of the best organizer sof sports to take over the position ,sportsmen will miss Maury VanVliet who has been with Varsit ynow for 9 years and has mademany a friend in that time .

Famed for his coaching of bas-ketball and his general ability asan organizer, Maury received aninvitation to go to the Universityof Alberta at Edmonton as Profes-sor and Director of Physical Edu-cation for Men.

Bob Osborne steps into the pic-ture just as the Blue and Goldbegins to organize for greatersports activities in years to come.

Well known by many fellowsafter teaching at Templeton andLord Byng, Bob is probably bestknown for his hoopla activities.lie played on the UBC team whenthey won the championship in1900.81 and for the next three yearswas captain of the team. He laterplayed for the Province team an done year went with three playersfrom Victoria to bolster Windsor ,who were representing Canada i nthe Olympics . The team camesecond only to the States. Afterthat he played for Tookes.

Bob has many great hopes !orVanity's life of sport this Year .Along the lines of extramural,,plans are being made to draw upa Canadian or American footballschedule against some of th esmaller American colleges alon gthe coast. It is also hoped thatthe Colleges in Western Canadawill once again do battle for theHardy Cup.

• NEW 'BIRD MAN—Here is Bob Osborne who will thi syear be taking over the duties of the Director of Physica l

Education for the Men. Besides his other work, Bob is goingto mould another Thunderbird ball team to carry the honour sfor the Blue and Gold on the maple courts .

LUKE MOYLS, Sports Edito r

Many Former Stars ReturnTo UBC Sports This year• SO HERE WE ARE at the beginning of another year .

After a little snooping around, it seems rather safe t osay that UBC is in for one of her better years in the worldof sport . Returning to the campus this year will be man ymen that have worn the Blue and Gold in previous years

Once again hoopla fans willwatch Gordy Sykes working thepivot spot on the maple courts,and hear the madman Harr yFranklin argue that he was "nowhere near the character—howcould he possibly foul him . "

Also swishing the net will beHarry Kermode who played fo rLauries in the Canadian finals lastyear, and Hunk Henderson, craftycentre-man, who is returning af-ter rome time as a P.O.W . In Ger-many.

A happy note In this years spatprogram is the word that 'knoc k'em down and drag 'em out 'Canadian and American footballwill wry probably be featuredagain this year.

This will mean the renewal ofthe Hardy Cup baffles for WesternCanada Inter-coleglate footballand the setting up of a series withsome of the American Universities .

Sports fans of yesteryear will beglad to see Freddy Smith, one ofthe most out-standing guard sVarsity has ever known, in actio nagain this year.

From the sidelines, the words ofcoach Johnny Farina will echoscram the field as the boys dotheir best to "Drive you bumf - -drive!!" in a slight warm up.James, the liniment.

And last, but usually first, come strack ace Doug Lee, who took theintramural cross country run sev-eral years ago.

And so it goes. This Is only asmall number of the boys whoare returning to bring glory to theBlue and Gold in the sports worldthis year. Looks like a great sea-son,

COLLUM

WE'VE HAD IT

• 'TWAS AN HOUR before deadline and all through th ePub, everyone was raving, that is just about everyone .

There was one voice that was missing. Where. was Luke ?While the rest of us slave at our dear old Pub, Lucifer Q .Moyls reclines in luxury "somewhere in the States." Heclaims to be working but how anyone could call a two-wee ktrip down to Los Angeles, Hollywood, etc, work is more thanwe can figure out.

So Luke is having a holiday . . . so we are having a heckof a day! We must return to the grind with smiling face swhile Luke sneers at us from his most honourable seat ofhonour. Our holidays are over. Oh alas and alack!! Iwonder if he'll say hello to the President for me. Oh well ,we can laugh when he has to get back on the job.

Klahowya FriendsWe throw out the Welcome mat to a new staff in the gym

this year, Mrs. J. Sleightholme is taking over the girls 'activities and Bob Osborne will be working with the boys .They have with them two new associates also. Miss I . Claywho graduated frt*n McGill last year will help Mrs . Sleight-holme and Doug Whittle from the east will be in on th eorganization of the men's sports.

Their job is not an easy one either . The enlarged enroll-ment presents a problem in itself . It is the object of thesports department to let as many people as possible take par tin athletic recreation in the gyni and in the stadium .

This means enlarging the intramural setup so that morepeople can be included in the activities. For those who arenew to UBC, we would explain that the Intramural scheduleis for the use of those who are interested in sport but eithe rbecause of the lack of time or ability, are not able to mak ethe teams that represent the Blue and Gold in the sport sworld.

Intramurals For AllIt was formerly organized into teams from Fraternitie s

and other teams made up from the Frosh class as well as anyother organized group that wished to enter a team for theschedule.

The Frosh were formed for the most part from the highschools that they last attended. Last year, the Mu Phis madeup of ex-Mageeites, took the honours from the other fifteenteams entered . However, it is felt that in some cases thisgrouping of the freshman into high school teams, although aneasy method of organizing, tends to cement high schoolrelations .

This is one thing that we must try to forget at Varsity .We DO want to remember that we go to UBC and that isthe important thing. Certainly, we were all proud of ourhigh schools but now that we are at Varsity, we think ofVarsity as our alma mammy.

It's Gonna Be A Great YearBob has not forgotten extramurals by any means. Although

this year is in all probability just a stepping stone to betteryears to come, it should be a big year in hoopla and football .Mrs. Sleightholme has taken it upon herself to introduce alittle more extramural work to build up the intermit that hasbeen sadly lacking in girls' athletics during the put fewyears. Yes girls, you've got to admit it!! Maybe the frerh-ettes and those of the upper years will take this as a challengeand do something about it.

Have You TriedSport Writing .e DID YOU NOTICE that the

last time you cut yourself, theblood was a beautiful dark red?Can you guess why it was a littl edarker than It tilled to be? Per-haps it was because you have alittle printer's .Ink in your bloodand didn't know itl

All of which is leading up tothe fact that we need new bloodin the Pub again this Year. Forthose who have not as yet beeninitiated to the local "den of in-iquity," the Pub is formally refer-red to as the Publications Board ,

Of course, there are many nicethings about becoming a sportsreporter. You will undoubtedly gofor the ides of having a free bottleof coke beside you to help youwhile you write the odd story.What's more, wouldn't you like tohave some place where you canknock around with a bunch ofcharacters in your spare time. Doyou go for the idea of partieswhere the fun flows like wine?They even have women there too! !

As anyone can obviously see,this business of being a scribefor the local rag is indeed a goodracket to be in on. Of course ithelps if you know how to writea little and are also interested insports.

And just a note to the girls .(It's okay for the boys to readthis if they want to!) This yearshould be a great year for girls'sports on the campus and there -fore we are going to need helpfrom the girls to cover their activesties. How's about dropping in fora few minutes to let us know thatyou will be able to help us andgirls' sports on the whole by giv-ing them a little publicity .

So, all you guys and gals, wesuggest that you toddle down hereto the "depths of the old BrockHall" even If you didn't get in onthe informal meeting held Mon -day. We particularly want allthose sports editors of high schoolsheets that were in action lastyear .

Just drop in and let us knowwho you are . Everyone is we9-come.

D-DAY HERE; NEWBEACHEAD ASSAULT ON FROSHSoph-Science "Commandos "Dunk Juvenile Delinquent s

By VAN PERRY• IT HAS STARTED again . Sophomores, sparked by the

red sweaters of Applied Science, picked Wednesday noo nas D-Day for the invasion of Froshdom, and mud was literall yflung for more than half an hour on the campus .

First freshmen to bear the brun tof second-year were milling in thequad between lectures . Some ofthem wore no placards, or no ties ;some had matching sox, and som ehadn't rolled up trouser legs highenough. They soon found out; theengineers had them seated on thedrinking fountain, with the wateron, in a few seconds .

Other freshmen refuseu to singvarsity songs, or yell varsity yells .It was a fatal error in tactics .Pursued as far as Brock Hall insome cases, the hapless Froshwere "invited" to bathe in thelily-pond by the gymnasium road.

The invitation was accepted,with reservations, The Freshwanted company in the pond, an dsaw that they got it. Even science -men went in, one head-first . Afte rthe first ducting, the clear waterswere muddy, and less inviting .Both sides did their best to avoidcontact.AL CAN COUNT

"I'll have to count ten before Isay anythig," AMS president AllanAinsworth 'gritted to reporters uhe surveyed the battle . "Thiswasn't on the books at all . "

Freshettes found that their femi-ninity was no safeguard against thescience wolf-peck. Two apronedand becapped little ladles suddenlyfound themselves surrounded by apack of fifty-odd grinning engin-eers.

"Come on, sing us a song! "shouted the redahirts, "Got yourTillicum on you? Read the wordsout of that "

Protesting bitterly that theycouldn't sing, the girls were seized ,and green lipstick replaced thenatural rosebud coloring of thei runpainted faces .

At no time Wednesday did thebattle reach the proportions of ariot. It spread insidiously acrossthe campus lawns, and burst forthnear Brock Hat, in a parade o fengineers singing their beer-con-suming melody .

Although the university buslines have been promised ad -ditional busses in the near future, bus capacities will stillbe overtaxed as student registration continues to increase .The situation regarding crowded trams and streetcars prom -ises to get worse instead of better as stores return to peace -time opening and closing schedules .Col .

A PAGE OF OPINION

The Transportation Tangle humor, and down-to-earth- advicehe completely dominated his ad -miring audience throughout . Itwas evident that the Dean ha dlearned that in order to impress e naudience he must speak directlyto that audience and not riseabove its power of intellect withhigh-sounding phrases .

The speakers following provedequally as enthusiastic as DeanBuchanan and Dr . MacKenzie an dwhen I emerged from the audi-torium the campus seemed to hav etaken on a new appearance. Likedirty blonde blossoming Into abeautiful brunette, like sadisti cMr, Hyde reverting into lovableDr. Jekyll or like the "Angel"having his face lifted my wholeoutlook had changed .

• LINEUPS of various sorts have becom ean accepted condition at the university

this year. Every wise student is allowin ga generous portion of his time budget fortedious minutes spent waiting for food ,books, and other necessities .

The paradox is that students are forced tospend a disproportionate percentage of thei rtime in the early morning hours waiting toget into streetcars and busses so they canbegin to wait in university lineups .

The situation is by no means new and fo rthe past few years transportation to th euniversity area has been stretched to th elimit. Students from certain areas withearly morning classes have had to allow a nextra half hour in their travelling time t oensure admittance to lecture rooms .

But because there are almost 1500 extracommuters this year despite large scale 're -turn of car chains, the situation threatensto turn into a crisis .

It is granted that transportation officialsrecognize the inadequacy of eight busses tohandle rush hour crowds and will attemptto speed up transportation from Sasamat a ssoon as possible . But whether the cure isbeing applied in tl''e right place deserves alittle thought.

A survey of student-populated areas shows

• STUDENT COUNCIL'S action this sum-mer disbanding the War Aid Council ,

originally set up to organize all charitydrives on the campus, has proved a hastymeasure.

The body was formed upon the expressrecommendation of groups who felt tha tsatisfactory financial response from the stu-dent body could best be obtained if a fewwell-planned charity campaigns directed b yone body replaced sporadic and frequent ta gdays which had received only half-heartedco-operation.

Actually, the ending of the war woul dhave changed the War Aid Council in nam eonly. Various organizations have already ,and will soon approach the student body fordonations .

Although one of the two new members tobe elected to council this October, the Co -

tact and care -- we can see that at aglance. Notably not tactful, we expect t otread, with all the weight of high motivatio nand an importunate senior editor, on th etoes of some who may prove tender. Dis-sertations on Basic Classic, or the sex lif eof the gnat, are not precisely our forte, andwe have a distinct tendency to bellow firstand look out for our neck later. But . . . .

By this time, the term "overcrowdin g" isnext door to a synonym for apoplexy amongvarious campus circles . Certain officials ,we know for sure, experience distinct rushesof blood to the head at the mention of th eword "hut ." Shoulder-rubbing has becomequite a common occurence, particularlyamong freshman and sophomore classes .CAPITAL "S"

For the edification of the slow-to-observe ,there exists nothing short of a Situation hereat UBC. It has to do with the 5200-od dpeople floating among classes, with in-adequate accommodation, and other mattersof similar sort .

Now there have been some very practica land understanding efforts made to ease thi sproblem. The fact that these efforts areslow to be seen is perfectly understandable ,and there is not one of us unappreciative o fthe things that have been done. Most of us ,too, are aware of a five million dollar build-ing program for this institution provided bythe provincial government .

Those things we may take for granted .But there are certain rather more funda-mental factors which, by this time, should beclear. We regret to note instances wherethey are not .

• One big trouble is caused by late arriva lat lectures. We realize that those unfamiliarwith their university as yet are going t ohave trouble getting around . That is adifferent matter: but'there is a recurrenceof the good old herd tendency . We are allguilty of trying to cram our way through adoor into a lecture-room while fifty othersare trying to cram their way out . Stupid ,isn't it? Nobody moves either way withou textreme danger to life, limb, and sandwichlunches .CAF RIP-TIDE

This herding eddies and rumbles around

that a large percentage of commuters trave lfrom Kerrisdale, South Granville, and Dun-bar sections . All these people travel downGranville, Alma, MacDonald and Interurbanlines to converge on the number fifteen andsixteen car lines along Broadway. Resul tis that 8:10 to 9:30 lecture streetcars fille dup with west end, east end, and Kitsilanostudents leave crowds of people strande dalong the route nowhere near the university .

A great deal of pressure could be liftedfrom the over-taxed transportation routealong Broadway through Sasamat if mor etraffic could be diverted to South Van-couver .

A working solution which may well beconsidered by the B. C . Electric as soon a smore busses are available is establishmen tof a bus route along Forty-first avenue andaround Marine Drive with terminals atForty-first and Granville and the universit ybus stop. Outgoing and incoming universit ytraffic would be more evenly divided andtravelling time would be cut in half for 50percent of the community student body .

Unless such a scheme is adopted on a part-time rush hour basis at least, it would appearthat in spite of .transportation increase onSasamat lines much valuable morning lec-ture time will be lost this year .

the doors to the Caf, particularly the southdoors. The rip-tide is positively fierce . Itis noticeably absent at spots like the bus -stand, for example, where some form of orde rhas been laid down. There, a sort of co-operation does seem to exist . Would itcould be said for other places.

Co-operation, and friendliness, will go along way under crowded conditions. Theexample of the Chinese civilization is nottoo distant a parallel to draw. We have n odesire to see the "after you, my dear Al-phonse" school of manners carried to itsillogical conclusion in absurdity — no suc hidea has entered our head. But it isn'tdifficult to grin at the fellow next to you,instead of digging a mighty elbow into hisunprotected ribs .

A prime example of hindsight not in op-eration arose over the occasion of Tuesday'stea-dance, when the facilities of the entireBrock Building, including the publicatio nboard's rooms, were cut off to make way fo rmerrymakers . The program was scheduledfor the main hall, where it went off as tea-dances go. The rest of the building mighthave been used, by some of the 5200 whodon't dance, or didn't have the spare two -bit piece on hand at the time .

There were commissionaires on duty, atthe main doors. It would have been as easyto post them at the inner doors to the mai nhall, and to require the dancers to hold thei rtickets of admission as bona fides . Non-ticket-holders would not have gained accessto the party, and could have gone abouttheir business without interfering.

Now, life in an institution this size can beawkward, or it can be stimulating and valu-able. ' The difference between the two statesmarks also the difference between medio-crity and brilliance in the products of th euniversity. We all possess an intangible ,termed for want of more accurate words"spirit ." We want to be proud of our placein the world — we want nothing to dim thelight of its present high status .

The simple fact of the answer is that wemust exercise that care and tact mentionedat the opening of this tirade. Without it ,our personalities will be battered, open tooreadily to unpleasant suggestion, touchy, andinadequate. Besides, we will fail in ou rexaminations. That's all .

• WHOEVER blurted out th eimmortal quotation "first lm•

pressions are the most important"could not possibly have been afresh at the University of BritishColumbia, nor could he possiblyhave been a proposed candidate a tany other institution of learning .EXPECTS LEGREE

After serving my time uponthose dilapidated electric cattle-cars and after contributing to th eatomic-like bus line service, Ieventually reached by destination—the UBC campus . Upon my ar-rival I fully expected numerousproefssors to greet me with openarms but at the same time holdinga 'fees payable" slip in one handand a horse whip in the other.

However, my expectations werenot fulfilled and after picking my -self up from the bus stop platformupon which I had been previousl ytrampled by my fellow inmates „I skillfully tracked this growingmass of humanity into the audi-torium.

As luck will have it, I was oneof the more fortunate victims toobtain a seat and after makingmyself as comfortable as possibl echile reclining upon the floor, Iwaited as I had done before Ingrade school and on through hig hschool for that inevitable toughguy—the principal.

The instructions to be carriedout by all upon the arrival ofthese "inevltables" were given usby a senior student. As I hadanticipated, with morbid resent-ment, upon arrival of Dean ABuchanan and Dr . N. A. M. Mac-Kenzie, the entire group was to

rise and remain "risen" unti leither of the two gentlemen bark-ed an appropriate "sit down . "Again my expectations were notfulfilled when, upon reaching th emicrophone, our first "advice tothe freshman" casually suggestedthat we retain our floor space .LIKES "MAC"

From the moment Dr . Mac-Kenzie invited us to resume ou rrespective positions until the timehe shuffled off the platform incommencement of his future an-nual race to Arts 100, I was com-pletely won over to his personalityand poise . I liked him. Especiallywhen he dwelled upon reality —Mrs . MacKenzie.

Here in my mind was a ma nwho had been where I want to go odone what I want to do, and i swhat I want to be—a success, notonly within the campus gates butwithin himself .

Dean Buchanan, our host forthe coming three or sever. monthsas exams may have it, was ou rnext "welcomer ." After Dr . Mac-Kenzie's invitation to become a"wise fool," I hardly expecte dDean Buchanan to be as knthust-astic . However, he was—onl ymore so.DEAN DOMINATES

With his winning smile, origina l

A Hasty Actionordinater of Social Activities, is responsibl efor planning student functions and will tech -pically organize all charity drives, he or shewill not be able to give charity appeals care-ful consideration until at least a few week safter being installed in office October 17 .

Although council members have and wil lcarry out the skeleton duties of the newcouncil member until he or she is trainedinto office there has been no single perso nplanning charity drives which must be plan -ned and spaced out in the social calendar t obecome effective money-raisers .

This measure would not mean that theuniversity is slacking in support of worth ycauses . Past experience has shown that th estudent body will more readily donate alarge amount of money at once than smallamounts often.

GETTING BACK TO COLLEGE• HOLLYWOOD — This is no place for innocent young

sports writers like myself, but I am not complaining.There is nothing but sports down here all year around . Andto prove this, all one has to do is look around any one of th elarger colleges in this locale .

UCLA is very handy, so let's take a look at it . Situatedon the border of Beverly Hills, this modern university ha severything an athletic director could ask for.

Their gym seats 5000 spectators, and the facilities for everyindoor sport are too numerous to enumerate here .

Their stadium isn't exactly a stadium like ours. They havea large field covering about four blocks, and on one sidethere is a steel frame grandstand to seat 3000 . But theyonly use this field for practising . The Los Angeles Coliseumwhich seats 105,000 is their home field .

But that's enough. I don 't want to bore you with all theselittle detaails about a university which doesn't even concernus.

How About A Boom For Sports ?Turning to our own sports fields, we feel sorry to lose suc h

a fine coach and sports director as Maury Van Viiet wh owent to the University of Alberta this summer .

However, we are confident that Bob Osborne, who hastaken over the job, will fill Maury's shoes and will be justthe man to organize the rapidly growing sports program o nour campus.

As for this year's teams, we are looking forward to one o fthe best years of sport ever seen here at UBC . With basket-ball, English rugby and soccer back as major sports, an dwith the possibility of a great revival of Canadian footballafter a four-year leave of absence, we expect to see a lot o fnew athletes turned out before the year ends .

We are sorry to see such fine athletes as Art Stilwell an dEddie Ryan leave for greener pastures, but we wish the mluck at their new universities .

Busy Summer For Athlete sAnd speaking of the growth of sports on this campus, ther e

was a fine athletic program presented at . summer session

this year. Although yours truly was knocked out of th etennis tournament in the first round by Jack Cohen after athrilling four-hour three set match, and although yours trulywas eliminated from the golf meet by the winner in the firstround, we had a lot of fun .

Things weren't entirely dead over at the stadium, either .

Ken McPherson and Ken McLeod worked out every day for

the Caledonian Games . McPherson came second to Spokan e 's

Bob Lynn in the mile . It was the third time Ken has ru n

second to Lynn. The other two times were at the Spokane

cross country championships .Meanwhile, Sandy Robertson and Reg Clarkson have kept

themselves busy all summer down at Capilano Stadium . Andcongrats are in ored for Sandy who signed with the Bosto n

Red Sox in August .

Let's Not Talk About Tenni sBut now that the summer is over, it's time for all goo d

college boys and girls to get back to their books, it says here .Me, I'll be a little bit late since I have a little job to finis h

down here.Tennis is a great sport, and this little Lorne Main wil l

become a world's champion some day . Jimmy McLarnin,another Vancouver boy, takes a great interest in the 15-year-old two-handed tennis player . Jim, one-time welterweightchampion of the world, married a UBC graduate, LilianCulpit, who also used to play tennis .

UBC has some fine tennis players too, including Ar tJeffery, the red-headed whiz of the Vancouver Tennis Club ,and Reg Anderson and Bill Wood play at the Jericho Club .

But when I get talking about tennis, it 's time to quit. So

I'll just wind up by saying "welcome" to all those returne dboys on the campus, and to this year's large freshman class .

Annual HooplaTilt To Be Hel dNext Tuesday• FRESHMEN and Sophomores

pry off the lid as the forecas tgala sports year makes its debuton Tuesday noon in the gym withthe annual firsts vs second yearbasketball classic .

This year, the precedent set inprevious years seemingly will bebroken . In 1941 the freshmen ha da very strong squad, composed o fmen who eventually, as the sem-ester wore on, were destined tobecome the stars of the Thunder-bird and UBC Chief teams. PatMcGeer, ace freshman of lastyear's game, returns along wit hReg Clarkson, Herb (:opuwzi, Fre dBossons, Bob Haas, and GerryStevenson. The later four formedthe nucleus of the Chiefs, an InterA team, which played in theSenior A circuit, and did ver ywell ,

Let year the !'sort ran theSephs ragged from beginning toend, winning 11.15, and at no timewere seriously threatened by theOle Bakken coached outfit . Takingan early $4 lead In the initialquarter, the first year boys keptup the terrific pace and wereahead 154 at the half .

At one time in the third quarte rthe upperclassmen were downonly one basket. The Freebiescame back however, with a 7.6edging for the final half .

Ron Webber, outstanding guardon the 1944 edition of the Thun-derbirds will handle this year'scoaching chores of the Sophomor eteam. He will be opposed in the

masterminding end of the game ,by another Thunderbird, HarryKermode, who has been chosento take the reins of the Froshaggregation .

Up to press time the Froshteam had not been picked, it i sexpected however that It will bebuilt around Ralph Burton, ofhoopla and lacrosse fame, Wh owas a member of the great Ad-anac basketball and Salmonbell yLacrosse teams of former years .

Sandy SignsFor Red Sox• SANDY ROBERTSON, UBC's

outstanding gift to sportsdomand one of the most popular ath-

letes in B.C., is moving up this

year . On May 1, Sandy will reportto Louisville for the AmericanAssociation . Spotted last season byscout Ernie Johnson of the BostonRed 'Sox, he was signed up on thespot . He will play AA ball for ayear, and then move up to thebig time .

Sandy played for Arnold an dQuigley of the City Senior League ,where he batted .347, and was oneof the outstanding pitchers in th eleague. When he wasn't pitching,

he was covering a lot of groundout in the centre pasture .

Sandy, who is one of the mostpopular men on the campus, ex-celling in most of the universitysports, was recognized again whenthe tans at the Fifth Avenue Ball-yard voted him the most popularplayer of the year.

Another Thunderbird athlet emade local sports fans sit up an d

take notice when he went int o

action at the Capilano Stadium .Playing with the Arrows, RegClarkson, outstanding 'Bird hoopstar, was one of the leading hittersin the Senior League with a .341

average. Reg is also very popularwith the fans, placing right up a t

the top in the popularity poll .

EDITORALmobilization regulations , to realize that muchneeds to be done to raise the health stand-ards of the youth of our country .

The value of* an active athletic programto the University is obvious to all who careto look. Not only is student interest in theUniversity made greater, but also in futureyears such a program helps keep the Alumn igroup together. Teams competing in whole-some athletic contests can be one of theUniversity's best advertisements among th epeople of the Province .

The many friends of the present Directo rwill be sorry to see him leave. He hasworked hard against great difficulties andhis results have been good. He goes now toan even greater job in a progressive newfaculty which recognizes the need for ser-vices such as his . It is to be hoped that ourUniversity can find someone of his calibre t oreplace him.

Now is certainly the time for a changein the University's policy. Those who areresponsible should look well at the problemand should toss away the petty prejudice sand narrow views of the past . They havea great responsibility to the students, to th egraduates, and to the people of the Province.Let them not fail in that responsibility asthey have in the past. There is definite needfor an independent Physical Educationprogram, well and capably run in the inter-ests of all, and the time to start is now.

Learn To Dance--It'sWonderfu l

The recent announcement that the Assist -ant of Physical Education has handed hi sresignation to the Board of Governors bringsto head a most alarming situation that ha slong been in existence at the University .For a number of years it has been clearlyapparent that the attitude of the Universitypolicy makers towards physical educatio non the campus has been, to say the least ,short-sighted and unproductive. Judgingfrom the actions of those who have been incontrol of the policy, the view has been hel dthat a program of physical education haslittle or no place in the life of a University.

In proof of this several points can be made .One of these is the inadequate financialallotment that has been given to athletics o nthe campus. The salaries paid in the pas tto those in charge of the physical educatio nprogram have been ludicrous, Another pointis the establishment of arbitrary faculty o rprofessional standards that have preventedproper recognition of those carrying on thework.

Still another point has been the refusal o fthe authorities in the past to accept assist-ance from persons outside the Universitywho wish to help .

The advantages of a first-rate Department ,of Physical Education are obvious. Physicalfitness should be one of our main objectives .We need but look at the results of armymedical examinations under the national

• ANOTHER milestone in UBC history was reached Mon -day when Hon. Chief Justice Wendell B. Farris delivered

the first lecture in the new law school to more than 5 0students .

The students were welcomed tothe course by Dr . N. A. M. Mac-Kenzie and Dean George Curtis .

Chief Justice Farris outlined theimportance of the study of thebasic ethical principles of law. H eemphasized the service to the pub-lic rendered by the legal profes-sion .

He pointed out that a lawyer'.work Is not a selfish one, tha tlawyers have special privileges onl yInsofar as they exercise them forthe public good .

If a student were entering lawwith the idea of making it a busi-ness or financial success, he or sheshould drop it immediately andtake up some other profession, th eChief Justice said.

"The lawyer's duty is to thepublic generally, and financialsuccess comes as a secondary ln .cident to the service rendered t othe public," he declared .

He ascribed the success of thelawyer in parliament to "his wideknowledge in matters of business ,labor, divorce, in fact all the prob-lem of We."

"A good lawyer is an expert onthose matters which come beforea legislature and therefore noother person is as qualified to con-sider the enactment of law," theChief Justice said .

The study of law means the ex-tensive study of mankind and themember of the legal professionshould have a well-balanced life ,he said.

He told the students that if the yapplied these principles theywould find that instead of beingin an arduous business they woul dget more pleasure out of law thanany other pursuit.

"A lawyer, to be a great lawyer ,must recognize that his life is giv-en to public duty," Chief JusticeFarris said . "In giving of this hewill find the greatest rewards inlife.

They are then surprised whentheir son, who has never beforequestioned their activities, groan saloud, and mutters about theirbourgeois mentality. What hashapened ?

One of a number of things maybe responsible . Perhaps he hasaccidentally looked into e librarybook that "Isn't on the course .
