IT'S YOUR DUTY Give Your Blood NOW The Ubyssey IT'S YOUR DUTY Give Your Blood NOW VOL. XXXII VANCOUVER, B. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1949 No. 11 NATIONAL CLUB CARD SALE VETOED at UBC Get Rich Quick? EDITORIAL Students should view with the utmost suspicion the activities of the National Campus Club's merchant discount plan. There are several reasons, none of them conclusive, but all of sufficient weight to justify a healthy doubt. First, there is the argument based purely on the grounds of good business principles. It seems incongruous that a commerce student, a student ostensibly trained to practice the highest in business ideals, should be named the campus manager of a plan which refutes one of the basic laws of economics and business today -*■ the one-price system. In .every case, the Better Business Bureau and Chamber of Commerce contacted by the Ubyssey in its investigations, condemned the plan as undesirable from a businessman's standpoint. Secondly, there is the argument based on common sense. Assuming that a student would receive a discount of 10 per cent at a certain store, it would be necessary for him to spend $1000 before he could save even so much as $100. It is a very rich student who can affoed to spend $1000 per year in the categories included under the plan. Third, students in their everyday life on the campus have very little knowledge of the inner workings of student offices and government. The Alma Mater Society would undoubtedly incur the disfavor of merchants not in the plan, since their volume of business might decline. To lose the good will of certain stores in Vancouver who have contributed generously to such projects as the War Memorial Gym fund is not a happy prospect to consider. While there is no evidence that the purveyors of the plan are attempting to be anything but honest, the merits of thu plan are open to very strong criticism. There have been attempts in the past to start plans of this -nature. In those days, they used tar and feathers. <$>- 10 II 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 fXPMES / O&ifSb 1 This Is To Certify That- N? 271 »in*t uidlxT nn* cvci IS AMtMBEROF- lilTa OUTt DflfionRLCflmpusCLUB flMHAIl MClltlftl MEMBERSHIP CARD which National Campus Club planned to sell on campus-has been stopped by Student Council.

Host Of Suggestions For Campus Groups The following list of recommendations has been handed down by George Cummings, Co-ordinator of Actviities, for any groups planning social functions: 1. Check with the co-ordinator and*- Weapons Against Atom Bomb Obsolete-Lotskar By JACK POTTER Conventional defense weapons are obsolete against the atomic bomb, said Joe Lotzkar before, the Parliamentary Forum, Wednesday. Speaking for the affirmative of the$> motion, "Resolved the atomic bomb removes the need for conventional defenses," Lotzkar maintained that there is no defense against the atomic bomb, except being the aggressor. WASTEFUL Production of armaments is wasteful," he said. "Obsolete weapons arc manufactured in the United States to bolster its economy. Should war fears be dissipated, a chaotic depression would be precipitated." He thought a better defense would be to place the economy on a completely peacetime basis. NECESSITY Speaking for the negative side of the motion, Ron Birnie said that conventional weapons were a necessity because a defense was needed against the atom bomb carrier, and occupation armies were required to complete a victory. He upheld the need for alliances to protect smaller countries which clo not have the bomb. "Small countries must ally themselves with countries having the atomic bomb," he said. In conclusion, he said that although the atomic bomb has changed the manner of warfare, "we can't abandon conventional war measures."

Campus Organizer Expects 4000 UBC Students to Become Members National Campus Club has been refused permission to sell memberships on the UBC campus by Student Council, and U,BC's governing body has gone on record as disapproving of the organization's scheme. National Campus Club planned to sell membership cards to students for $3 each. Cards would be good for discounts ranging from 10 to 25 per cent at stores under contract to the Club throughout tho city. Some merchants have already signed up and a fourth year Commerce student has been appointed campus manager. Three Organizations Disapprove Ubyssey in\ estigations revealed that Vancouver's Better Business Bureau, the Retail Merchants Asociation of Canada Incorporated and the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce and Civic Association at Stanford University where the club was started ten months ago, were all opposed to the scheme. In an air-mail letter from Palo Alto California, Linn Winter- botham, secretary-manager of the Chamber of Commerce said that this type of club had met with considerable opposition from practically all the merchants in Palo Alto. At Stanford, the Club had a membership of 750 persons, 500 of whom were expected back this fall. An active membership drive is in progress to recruit more members. Canadian organizer for the club said he expected that the club would have over half a million members soon. The club planned to award scholarships to the universities where they operated and give premiums in the form of football tickets. * , UBC First Campus in Canada No scholarships or premiums have been awarded at any university where the club is now operating. UBC was the first Canadian university approached. Canadian organizer stated that he expected to sign up 4000 students at UBC. In his letter to the Ubyssey, Mr. Winterbotham stated that the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce was opposed to such schemes since "it would undermine our entire system of retail business and would give certain special privileged groups an unfair and unwarranted advantage over the general public required to buy at accepted standard prices." "Authorities at Stanford," said Mr. Winterbotham, "tell usjhat this is a non-profit organization incorporated under the laws of the State of California." "The Club," he continues, l,is not sponsored in any way by the university and does not have its sanction from the point of view of desirability . , ." Better Business Bureau officials in Vancouver stated that the scheme is "contrary to the best business principles. Practice Is Unfair Competition "Retail Merchants Association," they stated, "regard such practices as unfair competition." Retail Merchants Association commended the stand of Student Council ■ in disapproving the plan and refusing to allow the Club to sell memberships on the campus. "We are," the provincial manager of the Association said, "opposed to this sort of plan." Officials of tne Club came before Student Council Tuesday in an effort to obtain sanction of the plan. Council went on record a.s disapproving of the scheme and forbade the sale of membership cards on the campus. ■ Officials of the Club said the' cards could be sold through stores who have signed up for the plan, City Hall Licensing Department investigated the Club's plan and said thoy would have to be licensed lo soil cards in the city. One merchant who had signed a contract cancelled it when the Club officials asked him to give a 20 per cent discount. He stated he had been, giving 10 per cent off on jewellery repairs to UBC students anyway and did nol feel a L!0 per cent j discount was justified.

We are somewhat bewildered bv lhe sweeping .statements of the loeal CCF leader, Colin Cameron. jMr. Cameron, in a fit of prophecy, has promised either "a groat social revolution'' or a "world war" within five years. .•"•i, We do not know what Mr, Cameron has ill mind in his prediction of a "^reat social ■ ,*a,! fe. fi^|jiution" but we are sure he doesn't mean ,|hu' sort with hand bombs and tommy guns ^jt^shed under the beds of every good citizen. A#, Apparently he refers to the trend towards the welfare state. • But the trend toward the welfare state is a concept of evolutionary socialism. And evolutionary socialism in the best Fabian tradition is a slow, painful, careful and smooth transition. It is not a thing which runs its course in five, ten, or even fifty years. It may reach a certain point in five years but what that .point in the trend will be is impossible to determine within a wealth of fact which cannot be found without close knowledge of the whims and beliefs of the great mass of people. And we do not see how anyone can predict the whims of people en masse. Presumably Mr. Cameron is of the opinion that capitalism in its present Norlh American phase will be unable to avoid a depression within the next, five'years unless a war intervenes. Ii a depression does strike, Mr. Cameron heilevcs that people en masse will be convinced, that the welfare state is the answer to their problems. But the situation i.s much more complex than Mr. Cameron seems to realize—though with. Ids long political experience he ought to have a firm grasp of the implications of his political philosophy. The thing is that even in the U. S. the wellarc slate is developing—not suddenly but, in accordance with the traditional theory ol evolutionary socialism. The trend in North America ha.s reached the point whore a new depression will be vastly different than the last one. It may accelerate the trend to the welfare state but there is reason to suppose that it will violently alter its nature. Sweeping statements, Mr. Cameron, are always dangerous. The anthropoid-apes gathered in an establishment known as The Commodore Cabaret on Wednesday evening. When they were not throwing their food at one another, they were telling the guest speaker to "sit down, you've had your time." While they ale they got well oiled and when they were finished they put on a sideshow for the people of Vancouver by parading through town. In short, the Engineers staged their annual banquet.

The show started out with a bang with the presentation of some adorable pink brushed rayon pyjamas, shirred for'Cozy' warmth at wrist and ankle, and worn by the just as adorable rndd'el MARY TAYLOR. A novel note was presented by a demure blue gown, complete with hem-placed pockets for ley tootsies, modelled by AMS secretary KAY MacDONALD. Suits and tailored coats still form the basis of the co-ed's casual wardrobe. Rating special attention is a toasty-warm Station Wagon coat, trimmed with brown fur, and lined with Teddy-bear cloth and red flannel, worn with plaid slacks by DON- NIE SPARLING. Perfect for football games. The material is corduroy, used lavishly in brilliant shades of red and yellow. Old favorite grey is still much in evidence in both coats and suits, but a colorful tweed-mixture, worn with a jewel-tone dress that picks out one of the tweed colors is new and exciting. For afternoon wear, fur-trimmed coats for outdoors and shot taffeta for indoors are keynotes. AND, brown- and-black is the color combination of the season. MARY LEITERMAN wore a dress combining both these qualities -black taffeta with brown and black stripe giving hipline interest and a panel effect in back. Modelled by ADLELE GOULT was a luxurious full-length grey Persian lamb, worn over a very simple ar.d cla-tling tangerine wool circus. Details of note: the voluminous side-drape-and-droop, straight from Paris, the double collar effect, the jewel-tone petticoat worn with a dark dress, and the coat color of the season: RED. Thc most exciting of the afternoon clothes was modelled by SHIRLEY SELMAN, last year's Mardi Gras Queen. She wore a beautiful bronze satin suit, just the color of her hair, trimmed with quilted and jewelled collar and pockets, and a most desirable short squirrel coat. All the hats were small, and most accented the profile by a side-swept line of felt or feathers. The sensation of the evening was caused by a red satin gown modelled in a kne-.vi-.-.g manner by DENYS*E r-IE'RCE. This creation of the California designer, Peggy Hunt, looks most Parisienne with new spiral draping that wings out to one side, and a very bare top. JAN OLSEN wore a navy taffeta with shirred bodice, sash effect, and a graceful rainbow hueel skirt. Two startling numbers were a green mauve and purple striped short evening dress, bare-topped or jacketed, and a mysterious black velvet cape worn with a classic white jersey dress. The climax of the show was a weeing portrait with the bridesmaids in turquoise and dark red velvets, and the bride, SUSAN JAMES, stunning of course, in Elizabethan styled white velvet and heavy satin with a long filmy train.

Some 36 potential hoop stars will be heavy cutting line that infiltrates opposing forward walls to break up plays before they get started. TTiis hard driving crew were responsible for keeping Pacific Lutheran from running wild with their near- perfect passing attack when those two teams squared off last weekend. MURPHY CROCKED And UBC's line is bad off right now with old faithful Bob Murphy out of this Saturday's contest. Murphy who has played inspiring ball in the inglorious centre spot this season, has been deemed out of action with a crocked knee. Rest of the line will be intact but Murphy's weight and might will be sorely missed. E'ackfielder Freddie French, back with the squad after an early-season diciplinary dismissal, has suffered a pelvis injury in recent practices, making him number two man to miss the Viking venture. PUIL WELL AGAIN Welcome news came with the announcement that lightweight George Puil, hopeful halfback who scored both touchdowns against Eastern Oregon last weekend, has sufficiently recovered from a shoulder injury to be in strip again for the Bellingham invasion game. Puil was in such pain from his shoulder in the Oregon game that shots of novocain were used to keep him in the game. Ball strategist Leo Lund, newly acquired quarterback, will be handling the plays when 'Birds face Vikings. Luriiflffis^a vast amount of experience in. this position with local clubs and heady play-calling will make him a man to be feared in opposing clubs. WEIGHT LACKING But weight is still the prime factor in the ball game, and that's where UBC falls down. Offsetting this handicap is a routine of plays, quick deceptive lateral plays mostly, that gain yards without having to use too much bodily force. Plays of this kind, together with a few tricky reverses, were responsible for both touchdowns against Eastern Oregon. And they might be able to dp the same job again this week. Dougie Reid, reported to be in poor shape will be okay for Saturday's contest. Reid was plagued with an ankle injury that he picked up in California last Christmas. About thirty team members will leave university tomorrow early to get down in plenty of time to loosen up their muscles after the trip. Sweaters, Banquet Plans Topics of Big Block Meeting Distribution of sweaters to last year's winners will be one of the main activities on the program of Big Block Club's first meeting of the new term. Program for the fall term will be presented for approval of Block members when they meet Monday, October 17 in Arts 101 at 10:30. All members already having sweaters arc asked to wear them to the conference. Discussion of the Fall Banquet, annual fixture with the club, will take up much of the time at the meeting. A few past Block Club members are known to be back in the campus once more, but Block president Stan Clarke has no way of contacting them. Lost members are asked to get in touch wath Clarke as soon as possible. selected from the 50 or more men currently turning out for basketball practice. A new system of selection has been set up this year to ensure that Pomfret will miss no talent in his search for players. LAST YEAH DIFFERENT Last year the poorer quality men were discarded and the remainder of the hopefuls were allowed to turn out. This year,, a selection of phjers who will definitely play for the university is made and the remainder- continue to turn out. In this way any player who is slow working up to good form in the first few weeks 'will still be able to show his qualities before the final group of players is picked. The list of the chosen few contains the names of about fifteen men at present. Among those who have been picked are returning 'Birds like Bill Bell, Reid Mitchell, Norm Watt, Nev Munro and Pete Walker. SOUTHCOTT NAMED Another name on the list is that of John Southcott who is the only member of the Rae, Desaulnier, Southcott trio to return to active basketball at UBC this year. Outstanding this year is the ex-Ma- gee freshman, Tom Gutteridge, The list also contains the names of Long John Forsyth and Art Phillips. Judging from current practices, the lanky star of last year's 'Bird team, Forsyth will have a run for his money to retain his first string centre slot over the rapidly improving Phillips. Laithewaite Looks For Double Win Varsity ruggermen again take to the pitch Saturday and this time coach Al Laithewaite expects a win. In the first division the Chiefs pair off with the North Shore All Blacks for a 3 o'clock tilt at Confederation Park. The boys have been working hard and are a good bet to defeat the All Blacks who lost their last week's battle. They will be matched with Meralomas, the team which bested the Chiefs by a narrow 5-3 margin last weekend. The encounter will take place at 3 p.m. at Brockton Point.
