Col. The Honourable E. W. HAMBER, C.M.G., LL.D., Director - Vancouver

R. F. J. FORD, Manager - Vancouver

A L U M N I ~~~~ ~ ~ ~

Brock to Sedgewick The Editor, Alumni Chronicle. Dear Sir:

This is a hell of a time to be discussing anything so transitory as Doc Sedgewick feels Olivier’s Ham- let to be. It is also a hell of a thing to put a public affront upon my old friend and teacher Mr. G. G., the onlie begetter of my knowledge of Shakespeare, either by revealing how little of his teaching has stuck or by suggesting that he can err in any matter concerning Hamlet. But when he says that Olivier plays Hamlet as a neurotic, I feel it is only fair to Olivier and to your readers to consult Olivier’s own words in cold print . . . words that anyone could have bought at the cinema door.

Olivier says that he for one refuses to travel with the psychologists who ascribe various neuroses to Hamlet. He says they may possibly be right with their Oedipus complex and the rest, but he cannot see it that way. H e prefers to think of Hamlet as almost normal, his difference from the norm being high qualities of greatness, though this greatness is brought to ruin through indecision. That seems plain enough. Doc will not, I think, claim that an actor of Olivier’s calibre will play a role without planning, least of all in a movie, which is not a single performance subject to the whims, excite- ment, and improvised changes of a single evening. Everything Olivier did was a deliberate following- out of his interpretation stated above. Therefore at

. no single point did he try to make Doc think he was neurotic, whatever he tried to make the Danish Court believe.

Doc says that Olivier is no doubt sincere in pre- senting Hamlet as an essay in abnormal psychology, after the modern fashion. I know that Dr. Sedge- wick is sincere in mistakenly seeking this motive in Olivier. I myself am sincere in accusing Doc of being sincere and unfair simultaneously. But let us throw this word “sincere” away. Sincerity is the great curse of the age, and more troublesome daily. I t is also the favourite word of the Japanese, with all that this implies. Sincerity leaves no room for doubt, and I do not wish Doc to be so sincere that he cannot believe himself wrong. Like Cromwell addressing the Scots, I beseech him in the bowels of Christ to think i t possible he may be mistaken, and I say this lvith all reverence, including reverence to Oliver Cromwell and Garnett Sedgewick.

As for Hamlet pretending he was a neurotic, which is true enough, as contrasted with his really being one, which both Olivier and Sedgewick know is false, Doc says Ophelia found him a perfect man and prince, but he neglects to add that she found his noble mind o’erthrown. In other words, Ham- let treated her (for his own purposes) as if his mind was indeed diseased. And yet Doc objects to his treating her Ivith anything short of the sanity and nobility that first impressed her.

Most of Doc’s points are based on his one big jump to conclu. ions. (Who says Canada stands no

THE U.8.C. ALUMNI CHRONICLE

L E T T E R S chance at the Olympic Games?) But I’d like to waste your space a moment longer on one or two minor points. Doc says the huge empty sets dwarf the actors; Olivier says they drax extra at-tention to certain characters, objects, and shadows. DOC says it is absurd to seek the ramparts for a spot of soliloqu\-; I say that any man familiar lvith castles would seek no better place to get upward and out- ward from the human and inhuman contacts helow, especiall>- lvhen toying with suicide.

Txvo other charges can more or less mswer themselves .Doc appears to suggest that a film can con\-enientl>- run more than two and a half hours. Hon- many times has he seen a stage version of Hamlet run longer than that? Pro1)al)ly once in

‘ recent years. if he saw the Maurice Evans production. -4s for the charge that the “spectacular n 1 1 - garity” is “like Hollywood at its cheapest” . . . if Doc really believes sincerely that this f i lm contains anything that would appeal (say) to Rita Hay- worth’s devout fire-worshippers, then sincerity has taken on a sub-Jap meaning.

Yours faithfully, David Brock, Arts ’30. .“-

Montreal, Dear Editor :

In response to Frank Turner’s column in the December issue of “The Alumni Chronicle”,. I am enclosing nine dollars ($9.00) for 1919 renewal fees for the following :

C. W. Parker, B.A.Sc., 1941 (Mechani’cal). D. F. Haney, B.A.Sc., 1915 (Electrical:). Alec Lightbody, B.A.Sc., 1948 (Mechanical).

The engineering staff in this Department of Re- search of the Canadian Pacific Railway has been a closed corporation for U.B.C. ’ graduates since the Repartment opened. I went rack to the C.P.R. after the w”ar when the Research Department opened up. Since then, Frank Hafiw%nd Alec Lightbody have joined the staff as Assistant Research Engineers. The only other B. C. engineering graduate working for the C.P.R. in Montreal is Holmes Gardiner, who graduated in Electrical Engineering in 1943 .and is now an -\ssistant Transmission Engineer in the Communications Department.

I t is pleasant to see the odd copy of “The Alumni Chronicle” ccme this way, hut there does seem to he an overwhelming percentage of available spaec devoted to -1rt.s and Commerce graduates living in Vancou\-er. I suppose this is because the Engineers spread around and have not maintained contact with the Association. However. if “The Chronicle” is not going to try- to reinforce the ,4ssociation’s bonds with these distant graduates, there is not going to be much incentive for them to continue their support to the -Association.

I hope that yon have a x-ery successful year in 1949. and obtain the funds you need without too much trouble.

Yours truly, Charles TIr. Parker.

The Alumni =\ssociation in an effort to raise money to help the University and meet its own ever increasing expenses has embarked on a new financing scheme lvhich was outlined in the last issue of the Chronicle. Copying many American Universi- ties a Trust Fund has been set up whereby graduates pay \\.hat sums o f money they can afford directly to this Fund. The money is used for scholarships, University buildings and other campus needs. It1 turn the Alumni Association receives hack from the University enough money to meet its expenses.

The Trustees decided to call it The iilumni- U.R.C. Development Fund and the chairman of that Fund is this issue’s coverman, Joseph F. Uro\vn, Arts ’23. Any pessimism almut the F u n d succeeding \vas dispelled the moment Joe was appointed chairman. He’s not the kind of a person who’s associated with failures and under his guidance there has already heen collectrtl the sum of $6,000, more than double \\hat has formerly been collected through dues i n any full year. Yet Joe and his associates launched the g~vtng campaign less than three months ago.

An American by hirth the ubicluitous Mr. Brown spent the first five years of his life in Chicago and perhaps that explains his driving Yankee-like energy. In 1909 his family brought him to Vancouver and by 1919 at the age of 15 he had finished high school at King Edward. I‘ntering U.13.C. at the Fairview shacks not yet 16, Joe started a University career full of academic honours and undergraduate activities.

One of his conspicuous jobs was that of statis- tician for the “On to Point Grey” Committee, his job being to dig out all the \\-orth\vhile statistics and facts antl to prepare and plan the campaign i n the presentation to Victoria. Joe was in the front row when the Cairn ceremony took place.

Since Joe graduated i n mathematics (honours) in 1923, he has never been far from his Alma Mater.

A L U M N I 1-1 U. B. C. D E V E L O P M E N T The Alumni-U.B.C. Development Fund, only

two months old, was shifting out of low gear by March 9 when Secretary-Manager Frank Turner reported that $6,ooO.00 in contributions had ,been sent in by Alumni members. $3,543.29 was donated by individuals which represented an average con- tribution of $9.29 from 381 contributors.

In the amount of $6,ooO.00, the Classes of ’22 donated $962.99, the sum of $538.99 of which being the balance of their Fund from the original fund started in 1922 plus contributions received at the time of their Silver Anniversary in 1947. T h e Classes of ’22 are to be thanked by all alumni for the grand way they started off the campaign.

OBJECTIVES : To quote Board of Directors Chairman Joe

Brown, the primary objective is to “obtain as many contributions as possible, the important thing being the number of persons participating not the amount of individual contributions.” The major goal this year is to turn over as much as possible to the Uni- versity as an “Unrestricted Gift to be used in satis- fying the University’s many needs.”

U.B.C.’s most urgent needs, according to Presi- dent MacKenzie are : 1. General Funds for scholarships bursaries, etc. 2. Women’s Residence and furnishings for rooms in same. 2. Men’s Residence and quarters. 4. Cafeteria. 5 . Art Centre. 6. Ath- letic Program.

SOLICITATION :

After consultation with the University Authori- ties the Alumni Executive and careful consideration of all factors, the Board of Directors has decided to encourage anyone interested to contribute to the

Fund. However, large-scale solicitation will un- doubtedly be confined to alumni.

It was pointed out that alumni who contribute to the Fund the minimum amount, qualify for membership in the Alumni Association, but that other friends of the University who contribute could not qualify for membership in the Association.

ORGANIZATION : Under the Chairmanship of Joe Brown, various

Directors have been apointed “Supervisors” of a number of Class Managers in respective Class Year Groups. Of the 300-odd nominations made, just over 100 alumni have accepted the positions of Class Managers and these met at the Inaugural Class Managers’ Dinner on Wednesday, February 23, 1949.

ENQUIRIES : Enquiries should be addressed to Frank Turner,

Executive Secretary, Alumni Office, Brock Hall, U.B.C. (Phone Alma 3044.)

The uneasy Peace in which we are living might be discouraging were it not for the firm belief that our pattern of living has so much more to offer than the alternatives.

Our pattern is not perfect; it has many inequalities. But, what solutions are found, what practical adjustments are made, may very easily come from the younger, fresher minds that are constantly bringing themselves to bear.

We are entering upon a new era in which new and more exacting demands will be made upon us all, where new concepts and new approaches will be required. We face a future of splendid promise for the young men and women of today.

through a Provincial Government $1,50O,OCO expansion program on the campus.

Education Minister Straith also told the Legis- lature in Victoria February 17, the government will help students build their memorial gymnasium.

Upper two floors of the applied science building and the biological and science building (first unit of the new medical faculty) will be finished.

A $200,000 grant will go to the gymnasium, for which students and governors already have $433,000. That sum includes $25,000 contributed earlier by the government.

Construction of the first of the buildings required for the University of British Colubmia for its new medical faculty will he started this spring, the min-. ister declared in detailing the revised university building program.

The university, he said, still has $l,5OO,ooO for medical buildings and tenders will be called in March for the general biological and science building.

MEDICAL SCHOOL Nowhere in his address did the minister give any

indication of the opening date of the university’s medical faculty. Such matters, he said, are controlled by the university which is an autonomous unit and directs its own affairs.

Efforts to obtain a dean for the medical faculty, Mr. Straith continued, have been unavailing to date, partially because the building program had not been started and eminent educationalists were un-. willing to consider apointments to an hypothetical faculty.

H e reviewed the efforts of the alumni and students to raise sufficient funds for the construction of a memorial gymnasium, reporting that donations and pledges totalled $350,000.

“The board of governors have agreed t o contribute $50,000 and the total now on hand is about $433,000,” said the minister.

“This was sufficient to complete the building as

in 1946 when the plan was commenced. “The governmc:nt feels that, since inflation of

costs is no fault of the students or the alumni, the people of British Columbia would approve of the government supplunenting this fund with sufficient money to provide for the immediate completion of this splendid and unselfish effort of the graduates and undergraduates.”


Alumni and Politics The Chronicle is essentially a non-partisan or-

gan \\hose sole purpose is to keel’ the alumni o f the Vniversity of B. c. informed as to the activities of their rllma Mater and their fellow classmates. It attempts to stay clear of being biased in favor of any one political faith. and in fact, its policy has been to avoid any mention o f politics whatsoever.

This attitude is prompted by the fact that the Chronicle owes equal service to all its graduates \vhether they be Conservative. L.P.P., C.C.F. or Liberal-Capitalists or Socialists. Ton1 Alsbury rates as high in the Chronicle’s esteem as Jimmy Sinclair. They are both honest men and they believe in serving their community.

Hon-ever, there is no question that something must be said about the political situation in these pages because if University graduates have failed in any field of service to the community it is in the political ~ one. The apathy o f University alumni to politics is notorious. They simply have not given of themselves freely enough in serving their province and country. l y e have only two representatives in the House of Commons in Ottawa, and no repre- sentation in the provincial Legislature in Victoria.

The reasons are apparent enough but they don’t excuse the alumni. Everyone kno\\s that the Uni- versity 1nan after graduation is a pretty harrassed person for a few years. Other individuals who have spurned a University education have gotten out into the world years i n advance and are usually far ahead i n the business of settling down to making a living and building a home and family. They reach an age more quickly when they begin to look about for added interests and means of self-improvement and many of them seek out the advantages in political participation.

The University man, on the other hand, is usually impecunious when he finishes his long pull through four or five or even six years of study and he has to spend a fexv more years catching up to his contemporaries before he can get the time to enter politics.

Also he usually finds better-paid, more satisfy- ing employment than the non-university man and is usually content to get ahead i n the world through his o ~ v n business than take a chance in the uncer- tain political sphere.

Then again he ofteu regards politics as something akin to being “unc1ean””as something only fit for “scraml,ling, self-interest-seeking boors’’ He often holds himself aloof from the political dog- fight and restricts his activities to reading the political ne\vs in papers, and to debating- over the coffee table.

Consequently University trained personnel are not to be found in any great degree in the civic,

provincial or federal go\-ernments o f this country. Actually t:he University trained man’s attitude

is wrong. Pe--haps it’s a sign of the immaturity of this country I)ut Imlitics must be embraced by Uni- versity grads and accepted and treated as a line of endeavor that must be pursued by our top hrains. Otherexvise this country will suffer.

On To The Legislature In the older countries, and particularly in the

British Isles. there is a preponderance of Univer- sity men in politics and in the government service. The quality ; m d high level of statesmanship and government xhieved i n Britain is a direct result.

UniversitJ- people are trained for leadership and it is their responsibility to gi\-e it. They are subsidized by the people of this province who pay money i n the form of taxes to maintain the Univer- sity of I3. C., mtl they demand a return on their in- vestment in the form of service by the alumllus to his province, city, town or hamlet.

hfarjories .\gnew, one of U.B.C.’s most inspiring graduates, solmtled this theme a year ago at the annual alumni meeting. She said then that the dreams of the early undergraduates of building a first class university had been fulfilled . . . now the theme must be “On to the Provincial Legislature.” In other wort’s. fill that cham1,er with University trained people and provide good government in B.C.

Shortly it is to be expected there \vi11 be Fed- eral and Pro\-incial elections. Every graduate should make an effort to enter into the elections in some form or anotl-.er.

Too long ha\-e stood on the sidelines and sniffed that politics \\.as beneath our dignity. It is our duty to enter \vholeheartetlly into the politics of this countrJ- because what is more important to each of us than the system of government we live under?

If by chancc: some system foreign to our way of life is instituted i n Canada, if some dictator or dictator’s stooie el-er stands supreme in the House in Ottawa, we d l only have o’urselves to blame.

And don’t think for one moment that these words are merely for scare value-it has happened elsewhere and it can, alas, happen here.

2. I t is difficult for out-of-town students to par- ticipate in Campus activities on an equal footing with Vancouver students since a lack of central living quarters prevents their getting acquainted readily, and thus having an opportunity of getting elected to positions requiring leadership. Of the 36 women elected to key positions in the past nine years, all but one was from Vancouver.

3. Many parents hesitate to send their daughters to the University of B.C., sometimes choosing universities with women’s residences, and often keep- ing them at home. In either case they are penalized in that they, as taxpayers, provide educational facilities of which their daughters cannot take advantage. U.B.C. wotnen come from 134 points. Victoria sends 77, New Westminster 70, Kamloops 19, Kelowna 17, Penticton 15, Nanaimo 14, Trail 12, Nelson 12, Powell River 10, Vernon 10. The other cities average 1 to 4 students.

PLAYBOYS AT WORK By MALVOLIO JUNIOR

Dr. Sidney Smith, President of Toronto, recently gained himself and his rather sinister academy a certain amount of publicity by declaring that a university should have no room for playboys. In other words, hooray for the ants and tortoises, and down with grasshoppers and hares. This statement roused much favourable comment across Canada’s fair do- main, except among the hares and grasshoppers themselves, always in a minority and thus a fit ob- ject in any democracy for our scorn, mockery, preaching, obloquy, contumely, odium, and objur- gation. Our own Alumni, we are sure, are in complete agreement, since w e contain at least 90 per cent ants and tortoises, plus a few terrapins. In- deed, we have already gone much further than ap- plauding, for at an extraordinary general meeting of the Alumni Betterment Society, plans were discussed for liquidating playboys found infesting our campus. Regrettably, a few playboys and playmen had the bad taste and effrontery to attend this meeting, and many speakers slipped and fell heavily on the marbles which kept rolling about the floor. There was, too, considerable heckling, and though the stenographer was instructed not to write down anything that contradicted the general feeling of the meeting, she did not always understand the meaning of the speakers, so that a certain amount of heresy has crept into the transcript, for which we apologize.

Harold Plinky, Arts 20, moved that the Univer- sity be urged to begin a purge of playboys, expel- ling any who failed to take an oath renouncing un- tortoisish activities, and the following debate took place.

George Cusp: You say there isn’t room for playboys. Wha t if they make their own room as they go along? Some of them are debrouillards, and rather resourceful.

Plinky: Speak English, you ignorant twerp. Cusp: Didn’t you have a good time a t college

yourself? Plinky: Certainly not. I am happy to say those

were the worst days of my life, and I want my sons to have the same chance. A guy is only old once. That is, unless he becomes a professor and refuses to grow up.

A Voice: T h e hell with him. Chairman: With who? Another Voice: Whom. Chairman: Which man ? Another Voice: With almost anybody here,

’cepting us playboys, rah rah. Chairman: That is not very constructive. Another Voice: Oh yes it is. Cleanliness is next

Chairman: How’s that again? Same Voice: We’re trying to clean some of you

dullards out of here. That is constructive. Not that all construction is necessarily good, even a t kinder- garten. But this is.

Several Voices : Shame, shame. Plinky: We are straying from the point. A Voice: Point Grey? (Laughter and hic-

coughs.)

Referring to our integrated, “co-educational” Alumni Association during a recent Fund discussion, Mrs. Sherwood Lett (nee Evelyn Story) expressed the hope that U.B.C. men and women would always work together through a strong Alumni organization for the good of the University.

Mrs. Lett, one of the Directors of the Alumni- U.B.C. Development Fund and the wife of our first Alumni President, believes that all former students should stay united in a single organization.

Periodic reminders like that are excellent-they promote better understanding among all alumni and a realization that our growth will continue to be steady if we are alive to constructive criticism from all interested groups in our midst. And by prevent- ing segregation, federation, etc.. . . we permit unified action and suport when needed.

The U.B.C. Alumni Association is fortunate indeed in not having “Departmental” Alumni Organ- izations, Faculty Alumni Organizations, Alumnae Organizations, etc. . . . affiliated with a parent body. Therefore, we do not suffer from special group demands, privileges, etc. . . . which oftentimes detract from the main purpose of being of service to the Institution as a whole.

This is not to suggest that there isn’t a place for careful consideration of University problems pri- marily concerning a department, faculty or a particular group. Far from it - that’s what Standing Alumni Committees are for. Any former student may serve on any of these committees.

Nor should this policy be interpreted to mean that periodic, yes and regular, Class Reunions, De- partmental Reunions, Faculty Reunions and nutner- ous other get-togethers of former students with common campus interests should not be held. W e all enjoy gatherings of this sort-and these are, and should be encouraged.

Inter-class competition-such as the current one in connection with the Alumni-U.B.C. Development Fund - is commendable and vital in a growing Alumni organization. Class pride is healthy indeed.

But-as Mrs. Lett has suggested-let us work together whenever Alumni support is required and let’s continue to work through a single, well-knit, yet decentralized organization.

ALUMNOTES: “Alumni help” meant something the other day

on the campus when Bay Carter (B.Sc. ’21) and Howie Cleveland (B. Comm. ’33) combined with Sam Ross, Assistant Manager of CKWX, to give Professor Ellis Morrow’s undergrad Advertising

class a few practical tips on that tantalizing subject. Bay, who is Advertising Manager of the Vancouver Province, and Hoxvie, who is Managing Director of Seaboard Outdoor Advertising, also enjoyed the opportunity presented through the generosity of businessmen in the Advertising and Sales Bureau of the Vancouver Board of Trade. . . .

I have just returned to London from a holiday skiing in Austria to find the Chronicle awaiting me, and it occurred to me that you might be interested to hear about conditions in Europe. I went. to Aus- tria lvith two cousins from New Zealand and we broke the journey i n Paris for txvo days and again in Zurich. \Ye had to have military permits to cross the Austrian border and i n an attempt to combat the flagrant black market that exists there, we had to change 8 shillings per day for each (lay we would spend in Austria.

Paris was bitterly cold but as enchanting as ever " o n e meal of a steak and white \vine convinced US

that we were no longer in l:ngland! There is still no milk in Paris but everything else was plentiful. W e had two fabulous meals, one of which began with snails, or 'escargots', which are a famous French delicacy and it is quite an art to manipulate them; they are cooked i n butter, parsley and wine sauce and are really delicious ! W e had another meal at the Existentialist cafe in the Latin Quarter where Sartre and his followers meet,

W e travelled overnight sitting up to Zurich and spent two more clays exploring that delightful medieval town where Zwingli preached in the Grossmunster. W e went into the Arts building at the University of Zurich, which is built around a central hall filled with classical statues and there is a skylight above which floods it all with light.

We crossed the Austrian-Swiss border at Buchs and had no trouble with customs. W e left the Orient Express (which goes from Calais to Constantinople) at Langen, the stop before the long Arlberg tunnel begins. W e were now in the midst of lovely snow mountains. Another two-hour ride, and we were a t Lech-am-Arlberg, comfortably installed in the Tannenberger-Hof.

The Tannenberger-Hof was the largest hotel and in the evenings everyone congregated there to dance to the superb band-on New Years' Eve the band played from 9 until seven o'clock the next morning.

Although we were very adequately fed in the hotel, conditions for the people in Austria y e very poor. They are more severely rationed than we are here in England; the average monthly wage at present is 500 Austrian shillings and yet a pair of shoes costs 200 shillings, and a coat 500, so that it is almost impossible for the average worker to buy any consumer goods.

The Vorarlberg range of mountains in which we were skiing were exactly like the Rockies north Gf Lake Louise only not, of course, as high! Lech was just north of St. Anton and a two-hour rail journey from Innesbruck. There was a very good ski-lift going up for over 1,OOO feet from the valley. There was not much more than a foot and a half or snow a t one point but what there was of it was excellent.

I must say how much I enjoy the Chronicle, as it keeps me in touch with UBC. I'd like to send greet- ings to anyone who still remembers me there and to remind anyone coming to London that there is a

CRITICALLY SPEAKING W e have a new listening hahit . . . SundaJ-

night at 8:30 . . over CBR . . . that half hour of criticism of the week's movies. radio programs, and books. W e take proud note of the fact that critics with some association with U.B.C. ha\-e spoken on this program in far more than their due share of the time. The night the program n-as introduced. Lister Sinclair, '42, and Earle Birney, '26, reviewed books and radio programs, and one of Lister Sinclair's books was The Merchant Class of Medieval Eng- land, the latest publication of Sylvia Thrupp, '25.

Since then Dr. Sedgwick and Roy Daniels, '30, have joined the book reviewers, Dr. Sedgwick pre- senting Roy Daniel's book of poetry, Deeper into the Forest.

May we confess that we 11aA-e a preference for these alumni critics . . . their distinctive diction . . . their fascinating talk.

California Ruggers Have Rosebowl Stars

California Coach Miles Hudson brings his Gold- en Bears to Vancouver on March 24 and 26 for the third annual renewal of the rugby series for the R-orld Trophy.

The Bears, who managed only one victory out of four last year, are out for revenge, and will trot out a team that includes six of this year’s Rose Bon-1 members. With these men and others liber- ally sprinkled through their line-up who tip the scales a t over two hundred pounds, the Bears will have more heft and power than any team that has played in Vancouver, and while they lack the experience and know-how in the English game, their size will overcome a lot of shortcomings.

The Thunderbirds are exact opposites to the Bears. Short on.wejght,,the Bears stress speed and . - . . . F “ ,<

good ball-handling to set up scoring plays, and play a sound defensive game. This is borne out by look- ing at the scoring statistics this year. In Miller and McKechnie Cup play to date the Thunderbirds have yet to have their goal line crossed, and have been running hog-wilci in the scoring column.

Leading the Thunderbird fifteen from the five- eights’ position is Frank Watt, who has shown a terrific turn of speed. Feeding the ball out to Watt will be John “Junior” Tenant, receiving half, the smallest man on the team at 155 pounds. The man who will handle the place kicking assignments for the Birds is Hilary Wotherspoon, sure-toed wing man who has switched back to English rugby after handling the point-after-touchdown assignments for the football teatn last fall. Others who will be play- ing English after a season of American include Half- back Doug Reid, Eric Cardinall, Hartt Crosby, Jack Armour and Dave Story. Reid, in previous years outstanding in the five-eights’ position, has been , moved to the breakaway position in the scrum.

The ’Birds start the series off by travelling to I

U. B.C. Boxer Golden Boy Don Codville, lightweight belter champ of the

U.B.C. Boxing Club, won his second Golden Gloves Crown and Golden Boy Award in two weeks during the recent Vancouver eliminations.

Codville, 21-year-old third year engineering stui dent, started off on the Golden Gloves trail by win- ning his division and the Golden Boy Award in the Vancouver Island tournament. In the tougher mainland tourney, Codville did a repeat, upsetting hard-hitting veteran Ken McPhee after reaching the finals by decisioning his brother Bruce on Friday ‘.. and beating boxing smoothie Art Burgess in the Saturdly semi-final. The judges gave him a two- point victory over McPhee and also the Golden Boy Award in what was thought to be the best fight of the day.

Don, who sweated down to 135 pounds to make the lightweight limit, started fighting just for the sake of “fooling around.” Since then, he has won thirteen out of sixteen fights, five via the knockout route. H e is passing up the chance of improving that record in the Northwest Golden Glove eliminations in Seattle in favor of knuckling down for his examinations this spring, putting his studies ahead of the ring, he figures it 1s time to quit “fooling around.”
