Col. MerrittAttacksLiberal Gov't

The Liberal Government ofCanada has brought the coun-try into a semi-totalitarianeconomy, Lt- Col. Cecil C. I.Merritt, Conservative M Pcharged yesterday.

At a meeting of the ProgressiveConservative Club Merritt said: "TheLiberal Party has abandoned its freeenterprise policy in favour of theCCF policy and any policy other thanfree enterprise is totalitarian."

PRICE CONTROL OUTAttacking the price control solution

for Canada's rising cost-of-living, hepredicted: "If we were to bring pricesback to the 1941 level we would %topall production."

"Buyer resistance is the only solu-tion to our problem." he declared.

"If we are to solve our difficultieswe must have a government whichwill protect our traditional free enter-prise and throw off this controlledeconomy."

FREE ENTERPRISEProgressive-Conservatives were now

the only free enterprise party, Lt.Col, Merritt declared. The Liberalswere now a party "of central control."

Profiteers should be "smoked out"he added, speaking of abuses of thepresent free enterprise system.

"There are profiteers in any econ-omy — free or slave — but that doesnot mean that the profit system itselfis not a good one."

"Administratively impossible" wasthe term used by the Progressive-Conservative member for Burrard indescribing his party's opposition tore-imposition of price controls, Pricecontrol would inevitably lead to there-establishment of wage controls.

Increased production was the onlyreal and basic key to the solution ofcost-of-living problems, Lt. Col. Mer-ritt added, declaring that productionmust be raised to the point wheresupply equalled demand.

BUYER RESISTANCEThe levelling-off of prices would

best be effected by the free-economymethod of "buyer resistance" in thelong run, he pointed out.

The inflationary problem presentedby an increase in the national debtfrom three billions to thirteen billiondollars, over the period from 1941 -1947, plus a heavy export of goodsto Europe, would not be met by theapplication of the "austerity program."

"The austerity program is a pro-gram of restriction of import andproduction - and it was this policy ofrestriction of production which broughton the austerity program in the firstplace" he declared. "Its applicationnow will only serve to intensify, notreduce, the problem of prices,"

WAGE INCREASESConservatives were not a "let things

rip" party, he declared, and Conser-vatives were prepared, where neces-sary, to grant wage increases to thoseincome groups hardest hit by a risein prices. Other methods of amelior-ating hardships would be the subsi-dization of staple goods such as milk,and bread, he pointed out.

Winch ClaimsB.C. LacksDemocracy

Democracy does not function ,

in British Columbia accordingto Ernest E. Winch, MLA forBurnaby.

Mr. Winch, speaking to the SocialistClub in Arts 100 Wednesday =Mkstated that when he attempted tobring up the matter of penal reformin the Legislature he was told that aprivate member could not attempt toinfluence the government concerninglegislation. "If you have a theorythat we live in a political democracy,"he said, forget it. We don't, any morethan we liVe in an economic democ-racy."DELINQUENCY

Speaking on the topic "Delinquency,"Mr. Winch stated that we are failingb make good citizens. In fact, hesaid, we are making criminals inour institutions. (He added that hewas not referring to UBC).

Mr. Winch advocated a long and ashort range policy to combat delin-quency, The long range policy in-cluded eugenics and sterilization, hesaid. The short range policy includednursery schools and kindergartens,thorough medical and psychiatric ex-aminations.

Also included in the short rangeprogram was maximum education ac-cording to desire and ability. Mr.Winch said he hoped to see the daywhen many times the present numberof students will attend UBC.

Mr. Winch emphasized also the needfor economic security, since "ouranimal or material needs must besatisfied before we can become humanbings."EDUCATION

He advocated taking the jails andpenitentaries out of the hands of the"so called" Department of Justice andplacing them under the Dept. etEducation.

Mr. Winch said the major problemwas to instil social concepts in theminds of individuals, as had been donein Germany, Italy, Japan and theUSSR. The only way to do this wanthrough Socialism, he said.

MR. L. AND THE BEAST

Legion LetterBy BOB ELLIOTT

Lanskail's ReportAT A NOON MEETING OF CAN-

adian Legion Branch 72' held in theAuditorium on Monday, the principalfeature was the report by ComradeDon Lanskail of the NCSV conventionheld at Toronto last December, whichhe attended as representative of UBCand the 'U of Alti.

The report emphasized the import-ance of the current request for in-creases in Student Veterans Allow-ances to offset the high and risingcost of living. The convention decidedto ask the Government for an increaseof 5% per each 6 points advance inthe cost of living index, to be com-puted from the time the grants wereestablished. The convention resolvedto present this financial brief as thefirst and foremost item on its agendafor Government's consideration, andwill await a reply to this requestbefore presenting others discussed atthe convention. The brief asks foran increase for all student veterans,with special emphasis on the need ofmarried veterans with dependents.

Increased AllowancesLANSKAIL REPORTED THAT THE

convention was unanimous in urgingall members to back up this effortto secure increased allowances. Insupport of this, a motion was carriedat today's meeting approving theformation of a committee to promoteand stimulate favourable publicity.The campaign will be assisted by thewriting of letters to local M.P.'s andall are urged to do so.. The drivewill also be strengthened if all stu-dent veterans who are experiencingfinancial difficulties amounting toneed will report facts and figures tothe Legion office. The survey con-ducted by Oda branch last term wasof great value to those who had todeal with Government officials inthis campaign, and any more datawe can supply now will be of greatassistance.

Comrade Lanskail's report coveredmany other items of interest and wasexcellently presented; space will notpermit a full account of it here, butmembers can read the report at theLegion office.

Livingstone'sStatement

IT WAS A MATTER OF GENERALregret that time for afternoon classescame around before the meeting couldhear a statement by Grant Livingstoneregarding recent accusations concern-ing his record in support of increasedallowances for veterans and othermatters. However, those who knowthe great amount of good work donsby Comrade Livingstone when Presi-dent of this branch need no reassur-ances from him; his deeds speak moreeloquently to his credit than anywords he might have uttered at themeeting.

THE DAILY UBYSSEY Thursday, January 15, 1948

CLASSIFIED

We can't help but wonder who is readingthe mail addressed to the president of theAlma Mater Society while Grant Living-stone is out chasing Communists.

While we do not think that the adminis-tration of the Society has in any way sufferedas yet, we do feel that the best policy forstudent government is one in which politicalsquabbles are studiously avoided.

Although chasing communists and/ordemocratic liberalists may be a highly divert-ing parlour game and even a very necessarypart of the maintenance of our democraticideal, the Daily Ubyssey has seen fit to offerno editorial opinion on the current fight.

The reasoning behind this action — that ofkeeping partisan politics out of the studentnewspaper — is not that we do not thinkthat political awareness is important, butrather, may be summed up in the fact that

COLD FACTS AND LUKEWARM FIGURESThe sage who said "Figures don't lie"

probably wasn't counting on them beingwrapped in swaddling New Looks beyond thefirst 12 inches above normal ground level.

By careful research, painstaking effortand unstinting prejudice, I have scientificallycompiled some revealing figures on UBCco-eds. In quoting them I know that I ampresenting exactly what the average malestudent has long wanted to see, i.e., some re-vealing figures on UBC co-eds.

My statistics show that of the two thou-sand co-eds on the campus, four hundredaren't taking any courses in particular, andthe others would like to be sorority girls, too.

Male students may also be rocked backfrom their bridge tables by facts about theircourses which I have obtained through im-partial, scientific guesswork.

1.1l3C's student veterans, the figures pre-dict, may nearly all decline with thanks comenext fall. Nasty letters from DVA will resultin .00002 of them feeling that they are nolonger wanted out here. And Branch 72 willdoubtless pull the rest out to maintain unityand avoid embarrassing the MacKenzie Kinggovernment any further in the matter.

My figures indicate that such failure isthe result of a minor problem in the mindsof all students on the campus. This prob-lem may be summed up as "Why am I goingto university?", which is usually answeredby a second question, "Why should I haveto work for a living?."OVERSTUDY AND UNDERHANDEDNESS

Thoughtful course selection, the figuresshow, would eliminate this minor problem.But such selection, in turn, is hampered byoverstudy. Two per cent of all students aredetermined to pass, even if it means attendinglectures and doing homework.

The remaining 98 percent scorn this un-scrupulous means to an end, but are handi-capped by an acute psychological neurosisresulting from deficient mental ability. Inshort. they are a bunch of jerks.

Or the grounds of such scientific find-ings, I have evolved a solution to this prob-lem of course selection. And I have appliedmy theory by skimming over the UBC calen-

we do not regard political Issues as a neces-sary part of student government.

We publish the political views of othersin our news columns but endeavour to pre-vent our editorial policy from becomingenmeshed.

This is a policy which 'could well beadopted by Mr. Livingstone and any otherexecutive of student government who maybecome so involved.

We would hasten to point out that wewell realize that Mr. Livingstone, this pastweek, has not been acting as the spokesmanof the AMS, but as a former president of theCanadian Legion on the campus.

The association is none-the-less present,and since there must certainly be sufficientlegitimate AMI matters requiring his atten-tion, Mr. Livingstone, in our opinion, is notbeing very smart.

Not only have I been able to map outmy courses for next year, but I may alsotake some of this year's subjects over again,just to make sure they are as enjoyable asthe calendar makes out.THICK PLOT AND THIN EVIDENCE

Aside from the fact that it lacks the bed-room scene of the typical best seller, thatlittle red book is terrific. There is a certainair of mystery about the whole thing. Youcan sense an underlying plot, but you can'tfigure out who done it, or what it was theywere supposed to have done.

I haven't read very far into it yet, butalready I've found a course that's a definite"must take" for next fall. It's the one near thefront of the book, listed as Academic Year1948. I regret not having taken the pre-requesite course, Academic Year 1947, butI hope to cram the two courses in together. I

I may even major in Academics, unless Ihappen to find out the day before graduationthat its something like Mathematics or Calis-thenics.

In the Faculty of General Information(UBC calendar, page 29), I plan to take thesubject called The University Student HealthService. It starts right out with medicalexaminations, so I'll probably have to studyup on it during the summer. And then, thecalendar tells me, there is a unit on Controlof Communicable Diseases. Personally, Icoudn't control a case of beer, let alone acase of anything communicable, but I've beenrelieved to find that it's strictly a reportcourse.

SCRAMBLED EGGS AND HAMSANDWICHES

On page 32 is an outline of a course inBoard and Residence, which, I believe, isregional analysis of Money and Banking withconsiderable stress on scrambled eggs andham sandwiches.

That's as far as I've gone in the calendarso far, but already I can see this reading willbe an excellent grounding for my intendedstudy of Ancient Greek, a valuable basis foran aesthetic appreciation of Bacon and, as asource of general knowledge, entirely useless.

4. They are some of the 92 men andwomen from various rural areas ofB.C. who are enrolled in UBC's Ex-tension Department Youth TrainingSchool at Acadia Camp.

Chosen by application for the eightweeks course, students range fromyoung teen agers to adult men andwomen. Courses offered them includeeverything from carpentry and black-smithing to home economics andpublic speaking.INDEPENDENT UNIT

The camp is a completely independ-ent unit with its own dormitories,lecture rooms and dining and re-creation hall. For the six week periodstudents appoint their own counciland publish a weekly newspaper.

Sports and extra-curricular activ-ities take up a large portion of out-of-class time. Painting, drama, photo-graphy and journalism are studied.In the unique course no exams arewritten but the incentive is not neces-sary. Enthusiasm to learn runs highamong these "men and women of thesoil."

UBC Ski Team Plays HostAt Inter-Collegiate Meet

IScribes WantedBy Sports Desk

For some time around thecampus of the University ofBritish Columbia there hasbeen talk about the amountof advertising that the Sportspage of the Ubyssey has beencarrying.

Most of the criticism has beencentered around a so called incompletecoverage of sports on the campus.The Birds call for more space, theRuggermen want more room, and thefencers want to see their names allin print.

We are now in the second term ofthe University year. There is notquite as much advertising on thesheet as was seen before the holidays,however in case you readers havenot noticed the amount of variationof stories is by no means increasedThe problem now facing members ofthe Sports Department of the DailyUbyssey is not to find enough roomto put some story in but rather tofind some guy that is interested inthe University affairs sufficiently totome down to the Pub and mitta story every now and thee.

We realize, of course, that manypeople who would like to can notcome down and write because extra-curricular activities in other fields,or studies prevent their doing so.They have our sympathy.

However this is not the yin. Isgo into that. The point of this littlework is to point out the use of thelittle ads that we have been runningin the Ubyssey of late. We need re-porters but good, and that is reallybad.

STOP PRESSUBC Chiefs downed the Arrow

quintette last night in a regularsenior A basketball tilt in theUBC Gym.

The play was not up to the usualhigh standard of senior A ball butat the same time provided an all-out final quarter that more thanmade up for the previous threecantos.

The victory strengthened theChiefs hold on third place, andalso ran up their string of winsto three.

GLENDINNING AND PEPWe ran into Lorne Glendinning the other day, just as he

was unpacking his bag of loot after getting past the Customs.He, along with Shirley Manning, Nora Clark, and Joe Stewart,braved the wrath of the Canadian "powers that be" and venturedinto the land of the brave and free to visit the University ofWashington.

The tour south was by way of a trip to gen up on themethods used there in promoting student spirit. It appears thatthe people down there need no promotion schemes in order tostir up spirit. All they have to be told is where to go and whatsport is scheduled.

Monsieur Glendinning gave a possible reason for Americanstudents' exhuberance in attending University athletics. Withthe presence of Fraternity and Sorority houses right on theCampus, there is every chance of large groups gathering "enroute" to the games. In a crowd, a section of people who knowone another will definitely make more noise than would oneor two persons who know possibly half a dozen of the spectatorsabout them.

While on the University of Washington campus, Glendin-ning said that they inspected, investigated, interpolated, inter-osculated, and interfered with, every organization and activitythere.

After a few feeble starts with leading questions, we gaveup the hope of getting any specific information. Big blondeGlendinning, hair fluttering in time with his fast moving jaw,chattered on about the splendour of this and that and the terri-fic plans of the pep leaders in the American University.

While expounding the virtues of the band down there, hementioned that our brass band will probably benefit through the

money gained from the Open House raffle to the extent ofreceiving uniforms; resplendant blue and gold velvet, no doubt.He was really impressed with the size of the gymnasium downthere. In an awed voice, such as that of a man who has just seena vision of butter selling for 35c a pound, Glendinning told usthat the grid squad sometimes worked out there if the fieldwas too sloppy,

ISLAND INVASION?By now no doubt, some kind soul has told you that a rugger

game is to be played in Victoria this Saturday. Anyway, theMcKechnie Cup rugger squad, latest addition to the sanctifiedcollection of UBC teams bearing the name-plate of the Thunder-birds will be playing the first tilt of the annual classic repre-sentative of supremacy in senior B. C. rugger.

Though some students find it hard to believe, a cheeringsection can go a long way in making a game a lot easier and alot more fun for the players. Besides doing a good turn for theteam, think of the fun you can have on a trip to the capital.With several friends along, the scheme indeed has possibilities.

If the rugger tilt is not enough to satisfy your athletic blood,don't forget the hockey game in Nanaimo Saturday night, Onceagain you can lend (give is a better word) your support to a'Bird team, besides spending a night in one of the liveliest littleSaturday night towns on the Island.

FOR UBC OLDTIMERSWe received word the other day that Tommy Symes, one

of UBC's illustrious athletic alumni has hung up his boxinggloves for the last time. Symes, a short and leathery visagedpillow thrower was for a long time the boxing kingpin in campuscircles. Sometime around 1941 (as near as we can remember)he was entered in the Golden Gloves bouts and managed tocome out on top in his weight class and consequently wasranked among Canada's top pugilists.

Symes was in town only for a short visit before he returnedto his job with the paper company in Powell River.

SWITCH LOCATIONPreviously scheduled for Kelowna,

owing to a drastic lack of snow there,Coach Vajda feels that Rossland withmore than eight feet of snow plusa small item—A CHAIR SKI LIFT—would be a more apt location.

The team contestants will follow thesame rules as at Sun Valey, i.e. asix-man team with four contestantsin each event with the best threetimes counting. This method hasproven to be the most popular by allthe Pacific Northwest ski coaches andwill be adopted at all future skimeets.

Entered in the downhill and slalomfor UBC are Doug Fraser, ArnieTeesdale, John Frazee and Gar Robin-son. Cross-country will see DougFraser, John Frazee, Gar Robinsonand Nick Anderson entered .

Sunday, the final day of the twoday meet, will see the cross-countryevent in the morning. The jumpingteam composed of Don Fearnside,Arnie Teesdale, John Frazee and GarRobinson will be in action in theafternoon.IDAHO UNKNOWN QUANTITY

The Idaho team failed to put inan appearance at the Sun ValleyNationals, thus their ski record forthis year is unknown.

Washington State was ahead ofUBC in the downhill and slalom, butlost out by UBC's superior cross-country and jumping technique.

Hence, much interest is beingshown by the team members in thisreturn battle of the snow slopes. Re-member, we suffered an upset in thedownhill and slalom at Christmas.It may happen again.

ROSSLAND WORKS HARDThe Rossland club has, even with

only 10 days notice of the meet, donewonderful work in preparing the skiareas and the town for the expectedarrival of the ski teams.

Under the guidance of C. N. Sankeyof Rossland, the new chair lift—thelongest in Canada, has been put intooperation. Accomodation has beenprovided in private homes for theskiers and a generous support has beenguaranteed by their townfolk.

It has been only in recent yearsthat Rossland has been put on theskiing map. Off hand, it looks likeIt: will stay there with more popularityeach year.

SKI TOWS TOOMany local resort owners and skiers

ask why the meet is being held sofar from home, The reason and avery important one is that the Ameri-can skiers are used to well developedski areas complete with roads rightto the ski slopes which are equippedwith modern ski tows.

To my knowledge, Rossland is theonly place where such accomodationcan be found.

Thus, as far as the skiers are con-cerned, distant fields are much moregreen.

Campus MotorcyclistsEnter "Mud Race

Two UBC students, Tom Meikleand Mike Skubay, will be partici-pating in a novel sports event overthe weekend. The event will be thefist annual Motorcycle Mud Racesponsored by the 21 Rebels Motor-cycle Club.

The two campusitesand several university grads who arealso entered in the race, expect tobe thoroughly spattered with mud atthe conclusion of the event, as therace will be run over one of the worstpossible routes that could be found inthe area. Scene of the classic willbe 54th Avenue and Boundary Road.

Fifteen laps will be run over theTortuous track, and spectators havebeen advised that admission will befree.
