HEAVY BURDENFor those in fourth and fifth yea r

Applied Science the burden is es-pecially heavy. Many of these stu-dents have eight hours of lecture sand laboratories a day—nine hour sincluding C .O .T .C . lectures . Such aprogram added' to the necessar yevening preparation for lectures be -comes almost intolerable, studentsdeclare .

As a remedy they suggest the abol-ition of military training for SeniorSciencemen who have no free hoursduring the week, and a considerabledecrease in the requirements forthose who have only one or two fre ehours.

if someone skips a lecture?", th eanswer Is "HE DOESN'T." Mili-tary regulations cover that, an dif anyone wishes to miss a lec-ture he has to apply for leavein writing,

"The question of academic credi tfor military training has not ye tbeen considered," President L . S .Klinck's secretary told the Ubys-sey on Tuesday .Enquiry was made after numerousstudents on the campus expresse dthe feeling that something ought tohe done about it .Tho feeling Is especially prevalentas provision was made for acad-emic credit last year.However as yet no representationhas been made to President Klinck ,and until it is no action will betaken .

ARMY CREDIT

NO DECISION

SAYS KLINCK

Colonel Shrum failed to see the reasonfor the students' objections to mil-itary training .

"You can't expect to get some -thing for nothing," Colonel Shrumdeclared. "I warned the student snot to become officers, if the yhad heavy courses . Instead, I ad-vised them to take up the Basi cMilitary Training, which does notappreciably Interfere with acad-emic work .

"As yet. no agreement has been

reached concerning the granting o fcredits for C.O .T .C . work . Althoughmost students favour such a plan ,Bob Bonner, L .S .E . President, main-tains that "you shouldn't give acad-emic credits f or non-academi ccourses . "

ALFRED NOYES CRITICAL

OF PSEUDO- MODERN POE TS

English 1 scholars who plough through reams of modernpoetry each session may agree with the words of Dr. AlfredNoyes famed British poet who addressed the largest gatherin gthe Vancouver Institute has seen for some time Saturday night

in the Auditorium.Dr. Noyes doesn't hold with new-

fangled poetry or art and he said so .Poems of the Gertrude Stein variety ,art of a surrealist nature, prose o fthe brutal sensational type are adisease to him—a disease which hasbefen spreading for some years andis not unconnected with the presentdisaster in Europe .BRUTALITY

"What has gone wrong with liter-ature that it is discarding the grea ttraditions?" asked the poet . "We arebecoming eccentric," he added .

The harsh brutality of moder nliterature is more in keeping withHitler's regime than it is with dem-ocracy, he pointed out—. It is anomen of the catastrophe that is at

present shaking the world ."The pseudo-moderns have cas t

a sneer on the human soul whichis the most sinister thing in allhuman history," he declared ."We're reaping the whirlwindwhich they sowed . "To prove his point, Dr . Noyes

read some of his own poems in aringing voice which echoed intoevery corner of the Auditorium with -out the benefit of a microphone . Heread "Tho Barrel Organ" with Itsmemories of a better and morepeaceful London . and he read "TheAdmiral's Ghost" which captures th espirit of the Empire and of the ol dsea dogs who made her great .

Columbia .Office: Brock Memorial Building — Phone Alma 1624

Post War

One thing the government must rememberduring this war is the matter of leaders for pos twar years .

After this war, there are bound to bemany problems to solve of a very difficult na-ture. It will take more than clever men t ofind a solution to these. It will take men ofvision, statesmanship, and character . If suchmen cannot be found, this country will suffe rmore severely then than it ever could hav eduring the actual war .

A lack of leaders is obviously one reasonfor the notable lack of statesmanship in post -war Britain and France . The flower of bothcountries, in many respects, was killed off i nthe Great War, and could not be replaced .The tremendous problems of reconstruction o fEurope were met in a fashion, but with thefinal result we see today.

In France, the situation was particularlybad . Corruption crept in, and no leader strongenough to clean It out appeared . When finalcrisis came, France collapsed. In Britain, con-ditions were perhaps not quite so bad, but asworld conditions went from bad to worse, therewas no one to stem the tide, and when the warbroke out, Britain herself was not prepared .

The same thing will happen again, in Can-ada this time, if indiscriminate conscriptioncomes into force. The government must re-member that engineering students are not theonly ones who will be more valuable out o fthe army than in it . A few students of econ-omics, history, and government, with outstand-ing qualities of leadership and character ,should be exempted on the understanding thatthey devote these qualities to the service ofthe country.

Of course it is much easier to talk abou tsuch exemptions than to put them Into prac-tice. The best material could be missed en-tirely, and only worthless stuff chosen, butthat is a chance that must be taken. Amongthe bad may be found one or two good menwhose services to Canada will be worth fa rmore than all the trouble and expense involved .

A satisfactory method of choosing suchleaders would be very difficult to work out —it would need careful thought and much pre-paration; but something should be done veryquickly in this regard to make ready for allemergencies .

The future is so hazy that no one dares tothink about it today. It has to be met, how-ever, and today we should start to think abou tthat meeting .

Council PolicyCouncil policy this year, as stated at the

last Alma Mater meeting, is nebulous in theextreme. Of course, no Council likes to ti eitself down to promises that may turn out to beimpossible to fulfil, but policies have been get-ting vaguer and vaguer every year until to -day they do not mean anything at all .

When the students are called upon to vot efor or against a few general statements thatmight not mean anything, they do not kno wwhat they are voting for. The policy looksquite pleasant and agreeable, and so of cours eno objection to it is ever raised .

But if the Council would present a num-ber of plans that it hopes to carry out duringthe year, students could express their approva lor disapproval . If the students approved, th eCouncil would feel more sure of itself in fol-lowing up that plan .

If the students disapproved, it might savethe Counci considerable trouble later in th eyear. Of course unexpected contingencies ar ebound to turn up, but knowing fairly definitel ywhat the students wanted, the Council woul dbe able to meet these contingencies more wise-ly and more fairly than otherwise .

Once the advantages of a definite polic yare evident to both students and Council, pos-sibly some change in that direction will bemade .

The last Alma Mater meeting, aside fromthe lack of a quorum, was notable for the ab-sence of criticism from the students . The busi-ness was completed quickly, but there wa slittle or no discussion . It was all very mucha matter of routine .

If definite plans for the coming year hadbeen stated before the meeting, some interes tmight have been created and a quorum woul dprobably have been on hand to discuss th evarious plans,

More and more, as we come in contac th other people and professors, we are corn-to realize the extensive influence of theion picture as a medium of education . His-, especially, is being simplified and system-ed to suit the Brooklyn brain . Thus Juniorlearn, in a pleasant manner, that :George Arliss plus a pamphlet equals thesuperbly adroit Voltaire .George Arliss plus Louis XIII, equal sthe superbly adroit Richelieu .George Arliss plus the Suez Canal equal sthe superbly adroit Disraeli .

Similarly, it may be shown that :(a) Charles Laughton plus chicken (bone )

equals the loud and paunchy Henry th eVIII.

(b) Charles Laughton plus painting set equal sthe loud and paunchy Rembrandt .

(c) Charles Laughton plus sailor suit equalsthe loud and paunchy Captain Bligh .

HOLLYWOOD BIBLEAccording to Samuel Goldwyn's lates t

printed folder, "So It Happened, So What?" ,which is Gospel within Hollywood City Limits ,the questions which every conscientious pro-ducer must ask himself, when considering th efilm possibilities of a historical event, are :1 . Has it got sex appeal ?

Can we put thousands of extras in it, fight-ing like mad ?

3. Will Tyrone Power look good in a uniformof the period ?

This last factor is particularly import -ant, and clearly explains why, when theyneeded a stooge for Colbert in "Cleo-patra", the role of Caesar was relegated tosomeone like Warren William, who is oneof those stars that you can see only ona very clear night . Millions of women,who modestly confess that they know noth-ing of man in any state prior to that Inwhich he wears trousers, would have suf-fered something akin to a revulsion, ha dthey seen their Tyrone romping around areproduction of Rome in nothing but anabbreviated shower curtain.

LALLYGAGGIN GBut probably the greatest influence of th e

motion picture has been exerted in its demon-stration of various techniques in the art o f"fling the grip", or "pitching woo", or "shootthe chassis to me, lassie" . Sciencemen will bequick to deny this . Nevertheless, the fact re -mains that at this moment thousands of Rob-ert Taylors and Clark Gables, as well as adozen or so over-age Valentines, are swinginginto action all over America and her island pos-sessions . And even sciencemen can be affectedby the movies during thei r(0 - 18 months) . I know onemother was frightened by aa William S. Hart thriller.man can ' t pass the Aggleshrieking :

But I would like to give a concrete ex -ample. (Anybody knowing anybody wh owould like a concrete example can get in touc hwith me through the Arts Letter Rack .) Theother night I eased into one of those down-town theatres where they have to blindfoldthe fresh air before they can get it inside . Theywere featuring some refugee from a cuttingroom floor in which Ann Sheridan throws alot of slow curves, with Jimmy Cagney alwaysbeing there for the catch . Now, this isn't thesort of thing clean-minded young people shoul dsee. (By the way, what ever became of them? )After being exposed to pictures of this sort ,does the Youth of the nation want to live aquiet, normal life, with a home, and kids, andmortgages? No. It wants to be between 18t hand 19th on Chestnut St .

Here is a typical scene between afreshman and a freshette parked at Eng-lish Bay. Ha. Ha. I'm laughing already .Herman, let us say, is our hero . Tonight,

Herman feels in a John Garfield mood . Hejust doesn 't care. A cigarette hangs limplyfrom the corner of his mouth ; his shoulders arehunched; his eyes gleam bitterly as they sur-vey Kitsilano and adjoining districts. Hismalice toward Kitsilano and adjoining district sis marked in every line of his face. Slowly hegrinds the butt out on the palm of his hand ,flicks it out the window, turns to face the wo-man, Bronchia . He leans forward until hethinks she can smell the brilliantine on his hair .As he lights his cigarette from hers, their eye smeet significantly. He inhales deeply. Itnearly kills him; but Garfield carries on : whenhe finally stops coughing, the thumps his ches theavily with his fist .GNAWING

. . *Apathy, as exemplified above, nev-

er produced the "great chain oftorchbearers down through the ages"referred to by Dr . Noyes when hespo' :o hero Saturday night .

APATHY AND DEFEATIS MHe remarked that we have turne d

our backs to morality, with no otherexcuse but that it is out of date.In its place, he said, we have sub-stituted apathy, and the defeatismof the "pseudo-modern" writers .

Alfred Noyes had some ratherstartling things to say about "recanttrends in poetry," enough to shak ethe confidence of English I classeswho will shortly be studying themoderns. But his most effectivecriticism was couched in a delightfu lwit for which his audience was no tquite prepared .

He was comparing conventiona lpoetry to the amorphous wrs llbteof the n%)derns ,

"I feel fine, fine when my hear theats In rhythm," he remarkedjovially to his audience, "bu twhen it starts beating in freeverse, I see a doctor . "The question of whether the anal-

ogy was fair was drowned in th elaughter of the audience .

GILBERT AND SULLIVA NIt was rotten . Gilbert and Sulliva n

would revel in the paradox of par-liamentary proc:cclings that develop -ed . Although the needed quorum o f800 was not present, some silkydialogue from the clirectoit of thestales. seemed to smooth things over ,and in no time at all the Family Com-pact was asking for a vote to en -(tocse their various actions .

Then—"I object! ""There isn't a quorum" declare d

?nd year Artsman Norman Allen ,looking in a kind of clean-limbe dway at Students' Council and feelingembarrassed by his sudden rise t ofamo. All around him members of th eReichstag looked with amazement a tthe follow puppet who had dared t ocut his strings and move indep, nd-ently. But Allen was no longer apuppet ; he had come to life .

"I object," Pinnochlo repeated ,"where's the quorum? "

There was an uneasy shufflingamongst the black-gowned membersof the Family Compact . But the un-fortunate question was soon disposedof . The logic went something likethis :

Allen could not make a motio nthat things were out of order asthere was no meeting present, be -cause he himself would thee be ou tof order . Yet no discussion was pos-sible, because no one had made amotion .

What It comes down to Is tha tthe students are at fault . Counciltried twice to get them to turnout ; then It couldn't wait anylonger. No blame attaches toLumsden and his aides ; they didmore than their part. Studentapathy forced them to act as theydid . It is hypocrisy If studentsdecry totalitarianism abroad whenthey prepare fertile ground wher eIt may take root at home,The privilege of democracy, after

all, is that one can be ono's ownsheep .

It is our duty, then. to protect ourpastures .

A delightful piece of pot pourr iwas served up last week under themane "Alma Mater Society Meet -leg." And I do moan pourri .

Front their Portcau Beach basecrimp, twenty-one Varsity Outdoor sClub Members climbed 6000-foo tMount Brunswick on the clay beforeThanksgiving.

Forty-four students, members andprospective members of the V .O .C . ,travelled by boat Saturday to Portea uBeach, three miles below Britannia .

There they made their headquarter sin a la rge cottage, equipped with th eunexpected luxuries of running wat-er, electric lights and enough mat -tresses and bed springs for everyone .

Strong-minded club executivessent the V,O,C:ors to bed at 10o'clock Saturday evening andawakened them at 5 the nex tmorning in preparation for th elong trip .

UP-HILL CLIMBThe whole party hiked to Deck' s

Lake, 400 feet above their camp.From the lake the more exper tclimbers went on to the peak ofBrunswick while others returned tothe beach .

It was the first year the OutdoorsClub had climbed this mountainwithout a member being seriousl yinjured, for in places the climbing i sdifficult . The only casualties wer einflicted by the hordes of wasps whohaunted the trail.

That night, after 14 hours of hlk-big, the students toasted marsh -mallows and sang at a beach bon-fire. At midnight they went backto their cabin and danced to th emusic of two competing grama-phones.Monday was pleasantly spent con-

suming the extra supplies of food .The weaker element in the clu bplayed cards while the more ener-getic members played baseball and ex-plored the neighbourhood .

Many people may question thecorrectness of the statement tha tgolf comes under the category of th esaner things of life, and a close studyof the game reveals that the ma nwith a weak mind may as well giv eup the idea of gouging the greenery.It is definitely maintained that i ttakes a superior intellect to masterthe intricacies of the game, whichprobably is the reason why nosciencemen are ever discoveredwielding wood or indenting irons onthe many rocks to be found on thecourse off the course .

New Four Tea mLoop Proposed

Despite the spring-like weather ,Ice Hockey is buck on the campu swith ' a bigger and better propose dleague, including New Westminster ,Vancouver, Varsity and Nanaimo .

Although the suggested league is a syet unofficial, Nanaimo and Varsit yrepresentatives have expressed wil-lingness to join and to play in suc ha league .

Last year's Blue and Gold squad ,practically Intact this season an dstrongly reinforced by a numberof Freshmen including two menfrom the prairies, Is ready andeager to participate In the con-sidered league.

MEETING TODAY, NOO NNo practises have yet been held b y

the U. .C. pucksters but it is an-nounced that workouts will begin assoon as arrangements concerning th eForum are settled. There will, how-ever be an important meeting in theArts building, Room 108, today a t12 :30 sharp . All those interested areasked to attend .

Among the squad of hopefuls eage rto get Into action are Jim Harmer ,sixty-minute man in seemingly ever ysport he pursues, Jim McArthur ,Ormond Dier, Ted Stevenson, Ed .Benson, Jack Moxon, Austin Frith ,Ernie Teagle and the two prairi eboys, Bell and Goodman.

It is also announced that exhibitio ngames with the Air Force may be-come realities because of their pop-ularity last year wren the Air Forceand Varsity staged real battles in-cluding a leaflet air raid .

VICTORIA, Oct. 14 — Varsity Thunderbirds invaded Mac-donald Park here Thanksgiving Monday to meet a burly Vic-toria Reveller Canadian Football team which threw them fo rtheir first loss in two years by a 23—12 count .

But do not let the score lead you to believe the Varsit ysquad was completely outclassed by the highly-touted Islan daggregation . They fought all the way, and four minutes fromtime were behind by the slim margin of one point, 13—12 . Itwas then that the Victoria machine got into high gear for twoquick touchdowns and sent the score soaring .

Varsity started things rolling early in the initial quar-ter and 'drew first blood when big Jim Harmer went overfor a touchdown at the ten minute mark after a series o fline plunges. Ernie Teagle converted to put Varsity infront 6—0, the only time in the game they were ahead .

Revellers Take The LeadVictoria came back strong at the Varsity's 11-yard line, but a penalty

TWO ESSENTIALSThere are two essentials in this

royal and ancient pastime, one ofwhich is to hit the ball, and the othe rto hit the ball in a straight line orreasonable facsimile . With regard tothe fleet proposition, the principle in-volved is similar to the one used i nsuch games as baseball, cricket, base-ball, croquet, baseball, cribbage andbaseball . Some people object to thecomparison with baseball, but thi swriter feels that the general prin-ciple at stake is essentially thesame . . . namely, to hit the ball .

Of course, the implement used toperform the act of striking the bai lwith much gusto is of a slightly dif-ferent nature to the baseball bat .The game of golf employs the shaf tand head principle, white basebal lmerely uses the shaft . Many thinkthat this use of head amounts t ofoul play on the part of the golfingrulers, but since many of the massesfind difficulty in propelling the bal lwith either the head or the shaft ,this objection has been ruled out byforce of public opinion.

Plans Curtailed .For Intra-Murals

FRED SMIT H. . . Airman

salts when rookie Bud Fairgrieve sbroke over left tackle from the17-yard line for the prettiest touch -down of the game. Teagle con-verted the kick to bring Varsit ywithin one point of the Revellers .And then, friends, the superior ex-

perience and stamina of the Island-ers came to the fore . They bore downthe field with a series of first downs

.

In the dressing room before thegame, the dead silence after thecoach's final words was broken by athunderous knocking on the door ,Someone stuck his head in and shout-ed, "Is Johnny Farina hers, there'sa crowd of women waiting at th egate for him to let them in! "

• • • •Bill McGhee is to be commended

for a very creditable showing a ttackle, despite the fact he was play-ing with a badly damaged lug .

• • • •Bob Field acted as water-boy in -

stead of playing left half . Bob un-fortunately crocked his knee in prac-tise last week .

Highlight at half-time was thedefinitely stunning performance o fVictoria's Girl Drill Team who wen tthrough mtmouvcrs to the music o fthe Kinsman 's Boy ' s Band. The Bandplayed Victoria 's theme song afte rtheir scores, but did not give out forVarsity when they hit pay dirt .

• • * •The Thunderbirds made nine first -

downs, while the Revellers madegains for thirteen

carrying to again take a comfortabl emargin with three minutes remaining .The attempted convert was blocked ,but as far as the packed house o f1000 fans was concerned, the ball -game was over .

With seconds left, Dale agai ncrashed the scoring column with aspectacular end run from Varsity' s45-yard line for the final tally . Thunderbirds

1940 EditionCoach Maury Van Vliet was not too

disappointed with the team's perform-ance, because for several of the play-ers it was their first game in senio rcompany. The boys themselves figurethat with one game under their beltsand another week's practise they ca ntake the measure of the VancouverBulldogs, Saturday, and maybe evutthe Revellers at Homecoming a wee klater .

The Thunderbird line is defin-itely not comparable to the ston ewall of last season. Time andagain It crumbled before thesmashing assaults of the heavyReveller squad, costing Varsit ymany precious yards .The running interference was also

woefully weak . In fact there wasn't

Because of difficulties in securingnew barges and . shells, the Rowin gClub's plans for increased intra-mur al competitions have falle nthrough .

Nevertheless, practises on Sundaymornings and, when possible, onWednesday afternoons, will be con-tinued in the hope that some inter -faculty contests can be arranged .The practises are held on the FraserRiver at the foot of Blenheim .

From a turnout of thirty-five,including some twenty Freshmen,one heavyweight and two light -weight crews will be formed.

NOTIC E

Not A "Wonder Team"any Interference . Therefore, ther ewere no spectacular runs like thosethat studded Varsity's performance slast year .

Captain Jim Harmer, in contrast toVictoria punters, managed to get awa yhis kicks, but most of them gaine dtoo much height and not enoughlength . Victoria bootees were hurriedby the Varsity chargers who blockedthree of their kicks, but the ones tha tdid get away were low flying, yardgaining punts .

The Varsity air attack, such as i twas, wasn't very affective, two passesbeing completed . Victoria clicked onone forward for a touchdown, bu tVarsity's backfield broke up thei rother attempts .

Minor LeagueCagers Eager

By CHARLES CLARIDGEThis year's freshman turnout for

Intermediate A Basketball has beenone of the most enthusiastic in his-tory. The Fresh, more than twentyin number, came out in force t owelcome their coach, Al Stevenson ,former Varsity basketball player an dlast year a teacher at West Van .High .

With such a turnout of players ,including Bryce Fleming from Ryer-son, Jack "Cut" Cunningham fro mDunbar and Earle Heisler of Pro -Recs. the new coach feels that heshould be able to pick a squad tha twill give plenty of worry to theopposition in the Community League .SENIOR B BASKETBALL

The Senior Bees or this year havea great record to live up to . Theywere winners of the CommunityLeague playoffs and Lower Main -land Champions last season. CoachJimmy Bardsley of the CanadianChampion Maple Leafs will have abig task ahead of him . With two ofthe champs left and most of las tyear's freshman squad, the Beesshould develop into a smooth work-ing team .

CHOCOLATEMADE

PRINCIPLE No. 2The other principle involved is t o

hit the ball in a straight line . Manypeople openly defy Euclidian con-cepts In this connection, by maintain-ing that the shortest possible distanc ebetween two points is not a straigh tline . They also ccnslder the concep tof the straight line in connection wit hgolf is not only an impossibility bu tindeed a laughable proposition in It sentirety . Psychology explains thisoutlook on the basis of injured egodue to inability to cope with an un-surmountable problem, and no doubt.that is an excellent solution, I guess .

ON PUTTINGMost golfers of any repute suppor t

the claim that putting is the majorpart of the game, but most beginnersthrow out this proposal on the groundsthat it is merely a process of creepingup on the hole in successive attempts ,and that the number of strokes i simmaterial since the end result i sidentical in all cases . Indeed, mostdubs agree that the Law of Averagesbears out the idea that the ball wil leventually be sunk anyway, and onthe basis of this assumption, gen-erally concede all putts within arange of forty yards of the cup .

FINAL REQUIREMEN TAfter learning these first few prin-

ciples, which should take no longe rthan thirty years, and no shorter th1 tthirty years, the only other thin gnecessary is a profound knowledgeof the fine art of profanity. No golferis a golfer in the true sense of theword unless he can get in there andprofane with the best of them. Someof the best profanists to history havebeen golfers, and if you take up thecudgels you'll get what we mean .
