UN Club Forum Today The Ubyssey Don't Miss Our Sports Page Today VOL. XXXIII VANCOUVER, B.C., TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1951 NO. 33 President Suggests Fee Hike Road Conditions BC Problem, Too Free increase to students to provide for grounds improvements was suggested as tht only alternative to the provincial government p r o v iding more funds for paying and lighting at UBC by Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie, president of the university in a letter to the Ubyssey today. Dr. MacKenzie was replying to an editorial in The Ubyssey on January 5, which criticized the buildings and grounds department lor the condition of the east mall. "1 agree with you wholeheartedly that the East Mall is and has been for many years desperately in need of paving,' President MacKenzie said in the letter. He said that work of this nature has not been carried out because of a lack ot funds. "The Board of Governors had estimates made some years ago and the figures quoted us then were about 1100,000," the president said. Dr. MacKenzie expressed hope that it will be possible ln the future to have all roads on the campus property paved and lighted. He said that this can be done only when the Provincial Government or some other body does this work or makes funds available for the project. "The only alternative to this la to increase the fees of the students to take care of items of this kind," the president said. He emphasized that the responsibility for matters*of this kind rested with the university administration and not with the department of buildings and grounds.

Discipline Group Labelled 'Farce' Member Queries Usefulness of USC Disciplinary Committee LSE Reps Accuse Ubyssey By JOHN NAPIER-HEMY "The Ubyssey jumped the gun in publishing the LSE brief," Mike Hind-Smith, United Nations Club president, stated yesterday. Hind-Smith's statement echoed the violent criticism by LSE officials of the article on the LSE brief appearing in the Friday Ubyssey. "The Ubyssey snatched a copy of the brief from the waste-basket," said Vaughn Lyon president of the Liberal Club. BRIEF TABLED The brief which calls for a fee increase of $1.00 to meet rising club costs and possible budget cuts, was drawn up by LSE president Ed Pedersen, and four major club executives. It was presented to 25 clubs executives on November 30, and tabled for further consideration. Hind-Smith claimed that the news of the brief was prematurely released, as copies had only just been distributed to the clubs, and executives had not had sufficient timo to discuss its content. For the proposals contained in the brief to go into effect it must first be approved by the clubs mak ing up lhe LSE ind then submitted to a student referendum. STATEMENTS Following are statements by club executives on the LSE brief: Ron Alltree, Radio Society: "So far we haven't dipped into our budget, therefore a cut would not hurt us. We are neither for or against the proposal at the present time. Barry Baldwin, Mamooks: What the LSE does doesn't affect us. If we bad no budget we would have to charge clubs for posters. Lawrence Lyndt, Civil Liberties Union; We can't make a definite statement of policy until we know where we stand financially. The LSE has the best Interest of the students at heart. SMALL CLUBS HIT Roy Haapala, Social Problems Club. There should be a fee increase of one dollar. Clubs are now on a virtual austerity program. Dorothy Fox, Student Peace Movement, SCM: 1 helped draw up the brief but my opinions on it have since been modified ln several respects. CONFIDENCE Vaughn Lyon, Liberal Club: When LSE adopts a brief it will be a good one. An LSE meeting will be held In the near future in order to discuss the brief more fully. USC's Disciplinary Committee was labelled "the biggest farce on the campus" by a member of the committee in a heated discussion at the regular Undergraduate Societies meeting yesterday. Murray Martindale, Commerce representative on UBC and two- year member of the Disciplinary Committee, hotly aired his views on the work and nature of this committee when action was sought to try enforcing Brock Hall regulations. "As far as I'm concerned, the Discipline Committee is the biggest farce on the campus and might Just as well fold up right now," Martindale said. DONE NOTHING "We haven't done a thing all year and everything is running a'long just fine," he said. He said that conditions in the Brpck are taken care of favorably by the maintenance men in charge and they wield much more authority in the eyes of the students than a fellow classmate "with a little card like a police badge." "What would the average stu dent think of a fellow or a co-ed for that matter, coming up to him in the Brock and saying, 'Hey. lake away your AMS card?' " Mar- Mac. Take off your coat or I'll tindale queried. STUDENTS CAOEY The whole Incident was brought onto the floor when a USC member noted how cagey the students were in regard to Brock rules. Students are not supposed to sleep on the chairs with their shoes on, "so they take them off and then sleep." COMMITTEE IMPROVING? Martindale said that during his two years on the committee he has seen it perform nothing concrete. His first job on the committee was to "spy'' on a campus club which was suspected of having (Continued on Page 3) Two Speakers On Campus Two prominent speakers are scheduled to appear ln public addresses at the University this week.

But there was one important point in the brief, which, if taken out of its despicable context, is worthy of the support of us all. The poiht is a fee raise of $1, to help bolster Alma Mater Society coffers. \ Only the Don Quixotes among us will cry (with ignorant dismay) that such a move Would be contributory to inflation. Fpr only ia Don Quixote would be naive enough to believe that he could, all alone, tackle the giant windmill of inflation. It's like fearing that the vast Pacific will flood us out if we indulge in a poker game called "Spit in The Ocean." It's a grim truth that costs have been spiralling, upward ever since 1939. Yet the AMS has imposed no fee raise whatever for itt? own benefit since those pre-war days. It's true that fees have jumped twice in the last 10 years, making a total hike of $3. But the $2 raise went directly into the War Washed Up ? In the news columns of today's papers i member ef the USC discipline committee has commented that his committee is little more than a farce. Mr. Martindale, who has served on the committee for two years, should know. One might, of course, be pardoned for asking why he has done nothing to make the committee something more than a farce, but this is hardly the point. It seems likely that thc committee is a farce because it has no power to be anything more than a farce and because, anyway, the whole concept of "discipline committees" in a university is ridiculous. Memorial Gymnasium drive, and the other dollar was tacked on to help bring foreign students here under the "Education in Democracy" plan. It's also true that some AMS executives of the recent past have said that fees are high enough already. But their epoch is over. It will long be remembered as the Pink Cloud Era of UBC finance. We believe that AMS Treasurer John McKinnon and his colleagues have their feet on the ground. It they're honest enough to admit it, they'll say that it's time students began to share the financial burden that budget-juggling treasurers have been carrying far too long. We can't go along with Pedersen's cheap political shystering when he obviously wants more money at the expense of the Ostrom Plan. But a fact is a fact. The Alma Mater Society is cutting some things a little too fine for all of us. For our own good, let's all chip in another dollar apiece. About all the committee can do is to take away the student's AMS pass—and a lot of students never bother to pick up their passes to begin with. What's more, those who do get them seldom use them. The loss is not very great. The real point, though, is that the few rules which are necessary to preserve student equipment really don't need a discipline committee to enforce them. Proctors should be able to inject a quiet word here and there and that should be all a university would ever need. We can only conclude that Mr. Martin- dale's committee should have been washed out long ago. Sifting the Cinema by Stanley fox The temptation among critics, at this time of the year, to make lists of "The Best .... of 1950" is irresistable. Here, for what it is worth, is my list of films most enjoyed last year—approximately in order o*f merit. "The Bicycle Thief"—This Italian film is one of the most significant works of art of our time. Its humanity and profound moral sense are conveyed to the spectator with great dramatic force. It seems rather silly to call it "The Best Film of 1950", or any other year for that matter. It would more correct to term it simply "The Best Film." "Sunset Boulevard" although tainted with commercialism — remember the pointless, atmosphere destroying commentary — contained enough excitement, imagination and insight into the Hollywood mentality together with the stunning performances nf Gloria Swanson and Erich von Stroheim, to easily qualify for second place. "Wagonmaster", the great John Ford's poetic western in praise of the pioneering spirit, was a splendid, even noble, account of a wagon trek by a band of Mormons. Ford's favorite theme, the beauty of a life of creation and enterprise, was presented in a manner which recalled his other triumphs, "Stagecoach" and "My Darling Clementine." "The Asphalt Jungle" turned out to be John Huston's most successful study of the criminal mind since "The Maltese Falcon." The film wa.s really a documentary view of the undcrworcl, presenting it not as a naive affair of gangs and personal loyalties but rather as a reflection of the world of commerce, differing only in being on the wrong side of the law. The picture suffered somewhat from a sentimental ending as the moronic "Dix" fulfilled a long ambition of returning to his "Old Kentucky Home" and died in- a field of alfalfa. "The Third Man" was brimful of virtuosity on both sides of the camera. Its final significance is debatable, but the performances of Orson Welles, Joseph Cotton, and Trevor Howard together with the amazing photography of Robert Krasker gave the film considerable distinction. Carol Reed directed. "The Set-Up" was a remarkably honest study of the fight racket. Besides its integrity, the film showed an admirable sense of proportion, while for sheer excitement it had few equals—again due to splendid photography. "All About Eve" had enough clever lines and enough good acting to provide an entertainment piece par excellence and it was ■•*» pleasure to see Bette Davis in a decent part for a change. At the moment however, the picture is undergoing a strange fate—that of becoming the most overpraised production since "All the King's Men." Other fine productions of 1950 were: 'The Village Teacher', 'They Live by Night,' 'Moonrise,' 'Caught,' 'Kind Hearts and Coronets,' 'The Lawless,' 'Picture in Your Mind,' 'Force of Evil,' 'The Men.' Looking them all over in retrospect, there would seem to be a glimmer of truth in Hollywood's latest slogan, "Movies are Better than Ever." Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: I have just read your Editorial of November 30, 1950, the first paragraph of which Is as follows: "You have nothing to lose. Join one of your University contingents now. This le the time to join—not after tbe bombs have started to fall." This remarkable paragraph Is said in your Editorial to be a quotation . " ., Taken from a letter directed to UBC students by the campus armed forces contingents last week." This assertion Is a complete untruth. No single sentence of the paragraph Itself appears In the purported quotation much less the letter presently being mailed by myself and the Commanding Officers UNTD and RUP to the men of the university. I suggest that you acknowledge its proper author. . Since the effect of his remarks might mislead the mind of anyone not In receipt of the letter referred to above, I would appreciate your reproducing In full the enclosed copy of the letter under discussion together with this letter Yours sincerely, R. W. Bonner, Lt. Col Commanding officer CO. UBC COTC. The following .letter sent jointly by the UNTD, COTC, and the Rur at UBC to male students of the university, justifies the Intent of our editorial of Nov. 30, 1050 to which R. W. Bonner refers. What Bonner Is attacking is the form of the editorial not its message. His whole criticism was brought about by tho neglect of the editor to bracket in square parenthesis the remarks reportedly to have come from the letter below. The brackets would have noted that the editorial was merely paraphrasing the words and ideas contained In the letter below. We note, though, that Bonner has not criticised the intent of the editorial, where we attempted not to "mislead" the students but to point out to them the grave Issues which we felt the letter took too lightly. Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: Undoubtedly you have kept In close touch with International Affairs during the past months. There is a keen and growing realization amongst Canadians that the threat of a third World War Is very near. The only way In whicli we can guard against such disaster is to realize our responsibilities and strengthen our * defences. The ef fort must be not only collective, but individual. As a result, our Government has entered upon a vast programme of expansion tor both our Regular and our Reserve Armed Forces. It is elementary common sense to appreciate that it is better to have a trained and well-equipped "fire brigade" prepared lor emergency than it is to accept, through lack of preparedness, the loss from a sudden conflagration raging unchecked. Technical aud other developments of the past few years have made it necessary to seek our leaders from men In the higher educational brackets. The source of officers is, therefore, in "the Universities. The COTC (Army), the UNTD (Navy) and the RUP (RCAF) have been organized on this campus to give you the opportunity to prepare as nn individual and qualify yourself as an officer against emergency. You have nothing to lose In polnlng one of these organizations, you and your country have everything to gain Another Horld War may well mean total mobilization of manpower and other resources In Canada. You are needed now to train as an officer: not after It becomes too late. Some vacancies remain in certain selected Corps. It is anticipated that the Department of National Defence may well grant more. Men in first or second year Applied Science are particularly needed. If you are now in your final year and regret not having affiliated yourself for training with one of the Armed Forces on tlve campus, it is not yet too late. The Canadian Government has adopted a plan whereby a final yenr male student In any faculty may be commissioned directly Into the Regular Forces and paid dining Ills academic year at the rate of $153.00 per month together with $65.00 to $96.00 per month from the date of his application. No previous military experience is required. You must however, be a British subject or a Canadian citizen and, if not a veteran, be under the age of 26 as at 1st June 1961. We cannot over-emphasize the value to you yourself of taking advantage of one of these schemes. Canada is your country. Our system of government has allowed you your opportunity for higher education. Will you not, for your own sake and for your country, prepare yourself for leadership? Will you come to the University Armoury and ask for particulars from one of the three Armed Forces representatives located there? (R.W. Bonner) Lt. Col. CO. UBC-COTC (Frank J.E. Turner) Lieut. Cdr. CO. UNTD-UBC (A.R. Raines) DFC Sqn. Ldr. CO. RCAF-RUF-UBC Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: I have 'read with Interest the editorial In The Ubyssey for Friday, Jan. 6th, in which you criticise Mr. Lee and the members of his staff because of the condition of the Bast Mull. I agree with you wholeheartedly that the East Mall is and has been for many years desperately in need of paving. That lt has not been paved is not the fault of Mr. Lee and he and his staff should not be blamed for it. The facts are that it is an expensive business providing permanent paving for a boulevard of this kind. The Board of Governors had estimates made some years ago and the figures quoted us then were about $100,000.00. Because no money was available for this purpose and because too it was felt that it would be well to defer the paving until most of the heavy trucking due to the construction of buildings on or adjacent to that Mali had ended, no action was taken. I hope that it will be possible in due course to have all the roads on the campus, including the East Mull, properly paved and the campus itself properly lighted, but this can only be done as and when the Provincial Government or- some other body does this work or makes funds available to us to do it. The only alternative to this ls to in* crease the fees of the students to take care of items of this kind. However, the point I was really anxious to make is that the res* ponsibility for matters of this kind lies with the University administration and the Board of Governors and not with Mr. Lee.

Youth Trainees' Take Over Campus Annual Invasion Of Students Doesn't Worry Authorities By IRIS SANDERSON UBC was invaded this morning, but nobody is worrying much about civil defense. It was just the annual 8-week occupation of the Youth Training School and a small army of new students have already taken over their own campus. UN On Club Limb' In Brief The executive of the university United Nations club are putting themselves out on a limb today. Mike Hind-Smith will present for the UN executive a suggested restatement of UN policy in the far eastern crisis to an open meeting in Arts 100 at 12:80 p.m. today. The brief that Hind-Smith will present to the open forum takes a stand quite different from the present United Nations policy. The campus UN executive feels that there is much thought around the eampus which differs from the way in which the United Nations and particularly the United States is handling the far eastern problem, ft Briefly, the report Is this: (1) Communist China should be admitted to the United Nations. (2) The proposal of the Communist China Pekin government that the whole far eastern question must be considered, not just the Korea problem, shall be adopted. (3) The main duty of the U.N. in tbe tar east is the setting up of an economic program, not a military or political program. (4) The association of U.N. policy with US policy would be discontinued and that the responsibility of Oeneral MacArthur to the UN and not tte United States should be restated. "Canadian policy in this matter might well be guided by British postwar policy in India," Hind- Smith said. The executive of the UN club campus might have views similar felt that many students on this to those being presented in the brief but they would have no way of making those views heard, Hind- Smith said. If the brief is accepted by the open forum, it will be presented to the Vancouver UN organization where it will be reviewed. If the brief proceeds no farther through the Vancouver group, then the university group will send lt direct to the United Nations in Lake Success as the voice of opinion at UBC. "We realize that we may be causing a furor on the campus when we actually go against the principles of the United Nations, but if adverse thought la there In volume. It should be brought out,'' Hind-Smith said. From Poqe \ Disciplinary Committee Communist sympathies, Martindale told The Ubyssey. He was to find out when and where this club had their "secret" meetings and he was given the job of tapping their meeting with <i wire recorder so that the Disciplinary Committee could keep close check on this club. "This year, though, the committee Is much better since it has done nothing quite so underhand- edly, In fact, it. has clone nothing nt all.'' Martindale said. Martlndnlo moved at the meet- Ins that the question of the Disciplinary Committee's worth he studied and that If necessary It be reorganized or abolished completely. Sixty-one men and women from way points throughout B.C. make up this years flock of Youth Training students who range from 16 to 30 years. It is the seventh annual vocational term made possible by Provincial Government grants. These enable students to spend two months at school with no fee other than a $10 transportation cost and $20 for two months room und board. EARN THEIR KEEP But the first dozen students that arrived at Acadia Camp Sunday earned their board' and room as soon as they hit the training centre. One thing the grant does not provide is janitors and kitchen help, so from kitchen sink to carrot garden they became official caretakers for their 8 week stay. Heading this year's educational venture ls Mr. Allan Des Champs of the agriculture department ot University Extension. Dr. Gordon Shrum, nead of UBC's Department of Physics, is official director of the temporary school. Work began Monday but school was delayed until today when men stepped into courses in welding, handicrafts, blacksmlthing, home planning and agriculture; while girls tackled home economics, cooking, sewing, home manage mont and weaving. UNDER SUPERVISION Each minute of the entire stay is under supervision. A pass is required before five minutes leave Is granted from the camp. Week nights will bo club nights, to be spread between radio, admln> istration, publications, dramatics and music. The small campus within a campus will have its own weekly pub- icatlon as well as a student's conn- ell and president. U. pf Toronto Hard at Work On Aid Program TORONTO — (CUP) — The University of Toronto has gone ahead with its All-Varsity Aid plan a scheme which was generated by Communist activity witnessed at the IUS conference at Prague last summer At the IUS conference, students from the Western World realized the pressing need for active and immediate help for Asiatic universities to offset the work clone by Communist-hacked universities in this field. U of T students have set themselves a goal of $10,000 for aid to the universities of Janimln Mlllla nnd Sindh In India and Pakistan. An editorial nppearlng in a recent issue or U of T's Varsity tlons of all hut the most optimistic, stated, "The support foi' this campaign has exceeded the expecta- Toronto students, even those bur dened by heavy time tables and responsibilities, are proving thai they do not think in an Isolationist groove. "The Idea of All-Varsity Aid is to help students In Asia who need materials with which to build up themselves. This Ih not charity; this is co-operation."

Well, the time has come, and it would be rash and foolish of Ubyssey editors to deny its arrival. It would be almost impossible for us to hide our heads in ostrich fashion, and pretend we did not know of the state of today's sports page. Ergo, an explanation! The Ubyssey and its editors regret to inform the reading public of the ill-timed demise of its talented and useful sport editor, the editor was forced to resign his position in order to devote more time to his classes , and grades. As our editions this year have plainly shown, we are working under the difficulty of having a very small staff. In former years, when Christmas exams have taken their toll, there has always been some willing, if perhaps not too able, replacement. This year-^-not so! When Ubyssey editors found themselves without a Sports editor Monday, they also found themselves without a sport page. Since the regular Friday senior editor on the Ubyssey has followed the same course as the Sport editor, and for the same reasons, readers of other than the sport page of tho Ubyssey, may also find a blank page confronting them Friday morning. To our sport readers, we offer our sympathies, and to the general student body, our apologies. Watch this page for improvements in the present situation! Stop Prtti! 'Bird Icemen Eke Out Third Period Win By HERM FRYDENLUND Showing the effects of « long lay-off, UBC's lee hookey team caught fire In the final period to beat the Vancouver Commercial League All-Start 5-4 at Kerrladale Arena Monday night. Five-week layoff was evident as the students floundered for two and a half periods, Just managing to stay even with the All-Stars. In the latter part of the final canto, the winnera finally showed their true form to subdue the Commercial Stars. Scoring was 1-1 in the first period. 3-3 at the close of the second, and finally ended with the students one tally up. Veteran Haas Young led the winners with two goals while Ken Hole, Bob Coupland and Pete Scott each garnered one. Play was rough throughout the contest with each team drawing about five penalties apiece, but no fights marred the game's progress.
