SUPPORT THE CCF CLUB; COME TO THE PLEBEIAN MARDI GRAS The Ubyssey SUPPORT THE CCF CLUB; COME TO THE PLEBEIAN MARDI GRAS VOL. XXXII VANCOUVER, B. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1950 No. 41 Ewing In, Out Again Haar Makes Fiexy Race Five Way Fight By IRIS SANDERSON Walt Ewing'* hasty withdrawal from Alma Mater Society's running left it as a five way race at 5 o'clock yesterday. John Tennant played a similar hide-and-seek game with the elections committee, dropping out of the treasurer's fight and leaving two other candidates' names on the ballot. * # Those still campaigning for position of president are John Haar, Foster Isherwood, Peter deVooght, Bill Haggert, and Charlie Walker. John MacKinnon and Bob Currie remain in treasurer's contest. JUST A GAG Swing's effort was uncovered as a gag to force more students to take an interest in the treasurer's position which he has held for the past year. He ripped down his nomination sheet seconds before deadline. Latest presidential contestant to appear as a nominee was John Haar, present dhairman of Canadian Legion University Branch. Elections Committee meeting was held to decide on the method to be used in next Wednesday's voting. A decision wu reached to use alphabetical order of names for both ballot position and order of speaking. TLL DO MY BEST" Bob Currie summed up his campaigning opinions when he told the Ubyssey "If the people who nominated me. feel that I am qualified, that's fine. If those who vote for me think the game way, I'll do my best to please them." To this statement, his assistant campaign manager, John Tennant, added "In my knowledge it requires one part brains and nine parts experience, plus tenacity and determination to stay at the job for 15 months.", • Currie's opporient John McKinnon gave his comment just, after filing a last minute nomination sheet. "I am a fourth year commerce student, and think I am qualified for the job. I am not an official candidate of the Commerce faculty." HOLY WAR ? Considerable comment has been given to Ian McKenzie's statement of Holy War, which was made on the behalf of competitor for presidency Peter deVooght. "There should be no question of inter-faculty rivalry in AMS election. I deprecate that Engineering Undergraduate Society Executive is officially sponsoring one of their own executive members as candidate for president of AMS." "Since Student Council members represent the whole of the student body, I think it an irresponsible act that any official campus group should actively support one of their executive members." POLITICIANS ? "Any question of professional political candidate running, doesn't deserve comment," he added. Foster Isherwood, former federal candidate, felt that this did deserve comment however. "Politics should never enter into Student Council elections, and I myself am not using that argument. Politics have nothing to do with the administration of the job!" % Past Council member, Rosemary Hodgins, spoke as a seconder for Isherwood. "When a candidate has had a diversified campus life, it is disappointing to see one aspect of their outside life being brought up in a prejudiced manner." FOSTER ACTIVE "Foster has been connected with clubs with no possible political connection, such as Players Club, Parliamentary Forum, and International Relations Club." "Surely the student body realizes that the carrying out of Council offices will rarely involve political beliefs." pil Haggert's campaign manager voiced" his beliefs to the Ubyssey with "I consider my candidate the best man because he has had experience on USC, and has shown himself capable. Last year he ran USC and transformed it from a useless organization to a well-functioned group." Close Decision Brings McGoun Cup To Varsity After 8 Year Lop Debators Win Unanimously In Sask., But Drop Decision Here PROXY VOTE GRANTED TO CAMPUS NURSES Nurses in training in Vancouver General Hospital will be able to vote without coming to the campus during the coming election. The election committee has made arrangements to set up a regulation election booth in the hospital for the convenience of the nurses who are in residence. This additional booth will make a total of seven booths on and off the campus. Campus booths will be at the auditorium, £rock Hall, Arts Building, Engineering Building, Physics Building and the Bus Stop. UBC Council To Protest Eastern Bookstore Ban Three Canadian book publishing firms will receive a. written protest from UBC Student Council because of their boycott of the University of Toronto bookstore. The thrse firms, McMillan Company, t> Nelsons Ltd., and the Oxford Press, Royal ConservatoryOffers Scholarship Scholarship of $750 is offered by Royal Conservatory of Mimic and McGill University Conseivntorium to students in Canada.

The scholarships cover tuition and maintenance but travelling costs must he borne by the student. Further information may be obtained from Dean Gage. have refused to supply the Toronto book store with texts because the rtore put a ten percent discount plan :o students into effect last year. Student Council Monday unanimously voted to support the action of the Students' Administrative Council of Ihe University t>f Toronto in offering books to'students at a ten percent discount and strongly protest the boycott Imposed by the book firms. In August of last year, the board of governors df U of T authorized the discount after receiving a brief from the Students' Administrative Council In doing so they stated they wished to combat the rising cc*t of education and make possible the purchase of a wider variety of texts by students. Manager of the University Press and the book store stated at the time that by judicious planning and management the discount plan could be affected. In later conferences with representatives from the McMillan Company the Company stated that they desirec' to protect the retail book trade, and hence the boycott. They accused the University book store of taking unfair advantage oi other retail merchants. Students' Administrative Union officals point out that only students paying cash arc allowed the discount and therefore the retail merchants do not suffer. They also point out that teachers are given a 220 percent discfunt at well as libraries and hospitals. Bob Hetherington, president of the Students' Administrative Council stated that students" require consideration also as a special case. Practice Required For Grad Nurses UBC's budding Public Health nurses must combine book learning with practical experience in order to gradflate with a degree. The month of January has been set aside for their "baptism of fire." Thirty-nine students from UBC's Department' of Nursing and Health, all graduate nurses studying for public health qualifications, will travel to various parts of the province for a period of practical experience in public health nursing. Professor Ruth Morrison of the Department praised the complete cooperation received from Public Health organizations throughout B.C. "We receive splendid cooperation from all the hospital and field work agencies who give the students this experience," she said. "It would be impossible to prepare the nurses for Public Health Nursing without this help." In addition to twenty-four nurses placed in the Greater Vancouver Area, Miss Jessie Radford will go fo Qualicum, Misses Bruna Facchin and Betty Caplette to Port Alberni, Miss Mary McDiarmid to Duncan, Miss Jessie McCarthy to Ladysmith, Miss Joan Sutcliffe to Armstrong, Miss Marian Boyle to Salmon Arm, Miss Yvonne Laurence to CasMegar, Misses Mary McNair and Beverley Chalmers to Trail, Miss Marguerite Cussan to New Denver, Miss Helen Macpherson to Nelson, Miss Nora Eddy to Sidney, Miss Doreen Pope to Kim'berley, Miss Morag E'ell to Princeton and Mrs. Ada Butler to Agassiz. Giant Parade Today To Herald Coming Of Pleb Mardi Gras At noon today, students will have an opportunity to see the seven candidates for the Queen of the Plebeian Mardi Gras, in the big Prole- tariot parade of hfodel T limousines. This jalopy parade will begin at Fort Camp at 12:30 today, and circle the Main Mall. The seven candidates, each representing a labor union, will appear in the beauty contest at the Plebeian Mardi Gras dance, to be held this Friday night in the Brock Lounge at 9 p.m. Each candidate will wear the official costume of the labor union she represents. The plebs who expect to attend however, will not be compelled to wear their working clothes, and ii is rumoured that one or two have > rented white-tie-and-tails for the occasion. The dance is being sponsored by the CCF Club.

It seems to me it has cislon against the prairie debators. The three points won in Alberta plus the one point garnered here Tuesday night gave us a total of four. Since the invading teams won unanimously at Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba the final count was UBC four, Alberta three, Manitoba three, and Saskatchewan two. UBC took the affirmative ln a res- tHujWon than "Communist Activity be Made a Criminal Offense in Canada." Defending the resolution, UBC's Don Lanskail, former president of the campus branch Canadian Legion and the United Nations Club, contended (hat Coigmunlsm "was a real threat to our democracy. It is no longer a philosophical movement—it is an international conspiracy." University of Saskatchewan's Carl Hamilton countered by declaring, "the outlawing of Communism is a far greater threat to democracy thar, Communism Itself. To outlaw Communism would be to prove the Communist charge that our democracy is only a sham. There is nothing a Communist would like better than a law such as the affirmative proposes. Ii would give him more prestige than s mountain of Communist propaganda." • Lanskail likened Communism to Fascism. 'If ydu woke tomorrow in one or the other you would not know which you were in," he said. Hamilton called Lanskail's statement "utter rubbish. Remember that HHlei started by banning Communists. Later he turned on social democrats and Jews. The ends and operations ol Fascism are two different things. Anyway we must remember that we are here today not to hurl charges at Communism but to decide whether democratic freedom should be curtailed." Lanskail said, however, he had "nc intention whatsoever of curtailing democratic freedoms." "What the law we propose would do is simply to outlaw overt actions of deceit and violence," he said. Second speaker for Saskatchewan, Claude Ellis pointed out that we already have laws against "sedition, espionage, bomb-throwing and conspiracy—in short we have laws against everything but thought control." "Do you think," he asked "that we would be better off today if we had outlawed Communism ten years ago?

Lack of Guts Council Backs Out Of 6 ame Uping the weather as an excuse, welching Student Council backed out of playing the annual Publications Board-Council classic in the UBC Gym Tuesday at noon. If Council can jnuster enough backbone to appear in the Gym next Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. the Publications Board will gladly wallop them soundly. Tuesday's game has gbne to the Publications Board by default 100-0. Game was officially cancelled when only Walter "Flabby" Ewing, his pockets bulging with AMS funds, turned up at the Gym to inform a hustling Pub team that the game was cancelled. Referee "Honest" Ole Bakken immediately declared tho Pub winner of the game by default. The Pub team in its pre-game warm- up displayed masterful ball handling and didn't miss a chance during shooting practice. Led by aging, (30) "Uncle Vic" Hay, the kiddies of the thriving Kinter- garten in the depths of old Brock Hall declared that they were extremely optimistic about the game next week. 'We could walk around the floor and still beat that bunch of rubs," declared lithe, lean Doug Murray-Allan centre kingpin on the team. Slouched in a corner, with gin dribbling from his lips, AMS president Jim Sutherland declared, "Get that pink elephant out of hero." Pubsters knew Sutherland would be no threat to them that day or any other for that matter. When several Council members did show up abou 3 p.m. they hastily went to the Council offices and locked themselves in hoping they would not be seen by Pubsters. Many of them carried brass knuckles and night sticks in fear of the wrath of the Publications Board. Pubsters have no doubt that Council will use every means to win next Tuesday game. They will probably try every method to cripple and maim the clean living members of UBC's press. But the Pu'b is not afraid, said Editor-in-Chief Jim Banham.

Briefly, the situation is this. Some time ago the University, of Toronto bookstore, in a neffort to make possible the purchase of a wider variety of books by students, announced a ten percent discount in the prices of all textbooks to students. MacMillan's—one of the leading publishers of text book*—immediately announced that they would dif continue sale of books to the U of T store. They were subsequently joined in their boycott by Nelsons Ltd. and Oxford Press. The reason given by the publishers is that they do not want to discriminate against retail booksellers. A ten percent* discount, they argue, would reduce the sales of merchants competing with the university store to almost nothing. The amazing thing, however, is that the sale of those competing merchants is now estimated at almost nothing. What harm, then, could the ten percent discount do to competitors sales. The point of the issue seems to be that the publishers have set up a combine whereby .they are able to regulate prices. They want it clear at all times that they will stand no opposition to their price fixing methods. In other words, they are afraid that the Uof T action may be the thin'edge of the wedge to enable the book industry to become competitive once again. So long as we maintain a free enterprise system we must make absolutely certain that no interference with free competition is permitted. Agreements between publishers to maintain fixed price1 system represents an example of the most insidepus form of combine activity. Students, who are vitally interested in a competitive bqok industry ought to fight the things tooth and nail.. Perhaps they might begin by requesting the aid of the government's combines investigators. For Sale EXCELLENT BARGAIN! BEST OF- fer for pbir of womens CCM ice skates. Size 6. Apply North 2798R3.

Let's Step The Mud Throwing Charges of "political tinge" being hurled at an AMS presidential nominee ought to be stopped now—once and for all. Two years ago, Grant Livingstone, a noted Tory became AMS president. This year, Jim Sutherland, a supporter of the socialist program, has held the office. In each case the political beliefs of the candidates entered into the election—usually as a smear. But it has been quite obvious that the political hue of the AMS president have no bearing whatsoever on the conduct of the business of student government, In fact it seems quite clear that any mature student has political views of some sort. The student who takes no interest whatsoever in politics is still a small boy and quite unfit to hold student office. We hope that students will evaluate Mr. Isherwood not in terms of his political views as a Liberal but in terms of his ability to handle the complex business of student government. What's Going On j ^ by bob russel Tonight's and tomorrow night's performances of Ernst Toller's "Masses and Man" will bring to Vancouver their first view of a theatrical movement that has had tremendous significance in forming modern theatre. Those who attend this workshop production will go home with an entirely new concept of the power and scope of the theatre? ' It is the aim of the English Department, ln producing this play, to faring to light a great play of the modem stage, a play that would not be otherwise shown in Vancouver. Ihey plan to make this an anntial event. Tht participant in this production (both spectator and performer) will be probably 'for the first time, caught In a new experience. An evening with a book, a lecture, a bull session; these deal with ideas in the abstract. In "Masses and Man* the ideas are "expressed" in theatrical terms, they come to life with all the super-reality of the theatre. Too long have we been exposed to plays where verisimilitude has been the object of production; too long have we seen plays where our emotions have been aroused but our intellects left unstimulated. Expressionist productions of the calibre of "Masses and Man" involve the audience to the extent of its capability. But while the demands on the audience are great, the rewards are proportionately high. Tonight and tomorrow night you i will see and feel the effectiveness of light, colour and space fully exploited. That our contemporary fare has made little use of the developments in these fields is illustrated by the similarity of the recent productions of Shaw's "Canida" .1855) and "Little Foxes," which was written almost fifty years later. Dorothy Somerset, who directs "Masses and Man" has made imaginative and positive use of light, color and space in a manner that should influence future Vancouver productions. In the Drama Festival last week, five directors slaved over detail and psychology to present naturalistic plays as accurately as possible, while one director (Sidney Risk) chose a non-naturalistic play ("Noah"), and spent his time on imaginative creation. The latter play provided more moments of sheer enjoyment than the previous six put together! The latter play won the festival. In all probability we will see a rash of non- naturalistic plays in production. "Masses and Man" alongside Everyman's "Noah") will set the pace. r What is Expressionism? Through actors, through staging, through lighting and through poetry, the expressionist playwright attempts to 'express' the essence of a person, an institution, a political movement, etc. This means that the playwright must be a significant philosopher besides possessing creative genius in the theatre. As a result of these almost exorbitant demands, few great playwrights have arisen in. the expressionist school. Those that have, Auguste Strindberg. George Kaiser, Karel Capek, Ernst Toller of Europe, and Denis Johnston of Ireland, have left a profound mark in the history of theatre. Expressionism has its faults and limitations, but its significance lies in its challenge to the naturalists, who were presenting life without ar! and the neo-romanticists, who wer presenting art without life. The creative philosopher-playwrights have not taken up the expressionist gauntlet, but have followed their own personal directions.. Thf Fascists permitted no expressionistk 'productions, for the ideas were toe entrenched to be censored out anc still leave a produceable play. It wa the Hitler Regime that kilted thr tremendous advances in un-natur- alistic theatre that were being mad< in Germany iu the twenties and earl: thirties, both in the movies and on th* stage. Tonight and tomorrow night we are to see a play that was banned or presentation, a play of anti-militarlsrr that involves and surpasses communism and capitalism to the basic'dignity of all men. The play will be presented by the English Department, under the direction of Dorothy Somerset, in the Auditorium at 8:30. Admission ls free Miss Somerset has done a tremendous service to this university in bringing "Masses and Man" to our stage. She had to find actors who were interested in Theatre for its own sake and who would lose their personalities in the production with no thought foi individual credit. She had to battle this campus's almost omnipotent enemy, student apathy. She shows great courage in presenting a play ir which communism is discussed openly and without the usual propagandistir biases; and she shows great ability in bringing such a difficult and unusual play to life.

At Fort Lennox, Quebec NFCUS Comes Into Ih Own PICTURED HERE is the NFCU£ display which was a feature of last year's Open House. It is representative of all Canadian Universities participating in the Federation. NFCUS has served as a tie-up between Canadian universities since 1928. NFCUS WiU Continue (Mwnityr ExdwnjM The NFCUS Exchange Plan, entitling UBC.students to study at any other Canadian university with his tuition fees being paid for in full, is to be, continued next year, NFCUS announces. Th* student most be ih an under- *> graduate year, obtain a minimum average of 65, percent in his final exams, and agree to return to UBC after one year of study at another university. Before his application 13 accepted, the proposed course at the exchange university must be approved by the UBC Registrar. Thc application is then sent to the exchanging university for approval, and Is formally approved after final exam, marks are released. The Exchange Plan was started by NFCUS in 1931, and flourished until the declaration of war, when it was temporarily discontinued. However, it has been revived during the last few years, and UBC students now have the opportunity to satisfy their yearning for travel and new places. This year six UBC students are on exchange to universities from Dalhousie in the Maritimes to Saskatchewan on the prairies. UBC is entitled to a maximum of eighty students to exchange to other universities, so interested students should enquire at the NFCUS office, Hut B2, as soon as possible. Spirit Here'From Heart, Not Bottle' Says Easterner That's the opinion of a Queen's student-turned-UBC for a year, after getting closeup glimpses of hoth in ■ stitutions over a period of time. That student i.s a counterpart of six UE'C women who arc now attending eastern and Maritime univcrsi.t cs under a plan incorporated by NFCUS some 20 years ago. The plan bogged during the war years, but again since 1948 Canadian university students have the chance to take a year's peek at their neighbors while continuing their courses. arsity Lacks Enthusiasm Claims Critical Co-ed By SHIRLEY SHIELDS (Shirley attended the University of Saskatchewan last year, and is at studying in third year Arts at VBC). The students of UBC should take a lesson in spirit and enthusiasm from the University of Saskatchewan, with half the enrollment of UBC. The competition between each fac-£ ulty is terrifically keen, not only are unheWd of in Saskatchewan. sports, but in Drama, debating, and many other activities. Saskatchewan is an older university, but is in a city of only 50,000 people. What's wrong with the students at Saskatoon can't give the opportunities UBC? Must so few try so desperately to {get the students enthusiastic enough to get out and support their own teams? UBC has many advantages over the university of Saskatchewan, however. The Saskatchewan studejnts haven't such a building as Brock Hall for campus functions of the different student organizations. The mass meetings of the AMS at which all who attend may put forth their opinions and vote on the question McGOUN CUP (Continued from Page 1) and external safety we must crack down on Communism now." , Fraser added that such a law "would give honest radicals and Communists who refrained from overt activity protection in the form of recourse to the courts. We would know who is and, what is not illegal and we would haye no witch hunts which are occurring in thc- United States." Saskatchewan's Ellis, fuming with indignation, accused Fraser of "obscuring the issue, fa.ling to define Communism, resorting to wholly illogical argument, and even failing lo build up a case for yourself--lot alone proving it." He called the proposed leiw "an infringement of everything democracy stands for. to its university that Vancouver can, but Saskatchewan can outdo UBC anyday as far as Varsity spirit is concerned, Information about other universities is available on the campus at the NFCUS office, Hut B 2, behind Brock. Since the local committee corresponds with all other universities it acts as an information centre for queries on other universities. American Exchange Open to UBC Students By JANE BANFIELD As a further expansion of the Cana dian Exchange Plan, NFCUS has In traduced a system of Canadian-Am erican exchanges. This plan presents wonderful opportunities to study at such colleges as Washington, UCLA, Southern California, Stanford and Oberlin, to mention a few. The regulations concerning the exchange are so designed that two students, each from a different university, one Canadian, one American, may pay the fees for their year at their own college. The advantages of this exchange for a Canadian student are numerous. Fees and Jiving expenses are higher in the States, so money is saved by paying a lesser amount at their own university and enjoying a greater amount at the American college.

It's a going concern and I doff my hat. Your noon hour meetings especially. You've got it all-the Right, the Left, the brain, the goon, the guts to think, question, and act. In other words you have got the great thing a university can heve—intellectual vitality and right of expression of both facts and views. The professors, especially those who provoke thinking and stimulate discussions. The wild joy of watching the mountains on a sunny morning. I DISLIKE: Feeling alone among so many. Hate this sophisticated rubbish of not speaking to your neighbors. The Caf. Because I'm not used to segregation. ( The absence of "Esprit ^'Corps'' among the student body as a whole. I"M GLAD; I came. The likes far outweigh the dislikes. Pulling up freshman roots in Queen's hasn't been always easy, but 1 wouldn't have missed UBC. It's been a terrific adventure, and I've loved it. v NFCUS to Guarantee All Expenses Excepting Transportation Costs The first national student summer seminar will take place at Fort Lennox, forty miles from Montreal on the Richelieu River from August 15 to September 4, Tim Hollick-Kenyon NFCUS Chairman, announced recently. '■ * One hundred students representing all universities in Canada will meet at the federal historical site at Fort Lennox on the scenic Richelieu River, within easy reach of nearby Montreal. The selection of students is decided by the ratio of two students per thousand enrolled. Therefore UBC will be sending a delegation of sixteen students. The Seminars' main theme of discussion will be "Survey on Canada,' divided into three subdivisions: Economics, History and Geography, and Canadian Humanities. The academic staff consists of twelve noted professors from every region 'of Canada under the direction of Dr. Leon Lortie, of the University of Montreal. Jean Provost, Chairman of the Seminars Organizing Committee, states: "We do not Intend to make this Seminar a purely academic activity, but rather an occasion for students of all universities to discuss, enjoy themselves together and know each other better." The expenses of the Seminar at Fort Lennox will be paid for by NFCUS ftiffins, but the participating student will bear the transportation costs. At present, a transportation pool is being organized so that all seminar students pay an equal'cost'. The approximate cost of this pool should be about fifty dollars. Any UBC students interested in attending the Fort Lennox Seminar should contact the NFCUS office, Hut B2, immediately. This will be an historic event in university student History, and .applications should be in early. NFCUS-WHAT IS IT? By TIM HOLLICK-KENYON The National Federation of Canadian University Students includes every student in every university of Canada into a strong, unified body for thc purpose of integrating and improving university student affairs. What has it done in the past? Has it proven worthwhile? These are usual queries to the question of NFCUS, and rightly so. The problems and projects close to a student's needs that NFCUS tackles are many and varied. In the past, NFCUS has been responsible for obtaining reduced rates oi rail travel for students, and'large discounts for student athletic equipment. The Canadian University Press and Canadian University Debating Association were both begun through the machinery of the NFCUS organization. What's in it for me? What does it plan for the future? As new student problems arise NFCUS meets them, endeavoring to find the solution. Among the many NFCUS projects, National Scholarships have received top priority, following the policy that a university education should be the privilege of ability rather than means. NFCUS seeks to foster a closer link between all universities by sponsoring an exchange plan whereby a UBC student may exchange to any university in Canada, his fees being paid, and' then returning home again in the following year. Travel abroad during the summer is facilitated by NFCUS obtaining reduced air and sea travel rates for students. There are many other advantages to be gained from NFCUS, and also many projects that are planned for the future—but the strong support of Canadian students is .necessary in order to haye steady and strong progress. Before NFCUS is a truly strong national body working for the good pf the students, the students must support it. Remember—You, are a member of NFCUS—It works for you—Support it. 'Is NFCUS Practical' * Topic of Debate Local NFCUS Branch Seeks NewMembers Students Promised Interesting Work NFCUS has an organisation stretching across,., the,, nation from Newfoundland to Victoria, that is woven into aq0e$cient network. Each university maintains a local committee to, carry out the, projects and .publicity services required on their cam* pus. The national executive, Who take office each September, is elected *n- naually by all member universities. The NFCUS President, Richey'Love, of Dalhousie University in Halifax, has served NFCUS very Capibly In the Maritimes before his election to the highest office in NFCU|-(, The. Secretary-Treasurer, Don Sel-' don, of McMaster University, js one of the mosf^capable off leers in tip long history of NFCUS, and.''%m| been connected with the organization for many years. Canada is divided into four regions, with a vice-resident elected* .from each region to integrate and coordinate the local committees in the region. Arthur Mauro," of the" University of Manitoba, at present 'holds the position of western vice-president The backbone of the e complete NFCUS organization is the , local committee on each campus. During this second term, the UB6 Committee is anxious to secure feddlfional membership from undergraduates' who will be returning next year. Interested students would find this.

Unemployment Insurance Commission NFCUS Exchange Gets Praises By LOUISE BIELY (Louise is one of the VBC students ou exchange at the University of Toronto-Canada's largest. Next year she will be back to tell UBC about Toronto, but here are her impressions so far.) Just saw Times Square, Coney Island, Lily Pons—yes I'm in New York. Then why take time now to write to the Ubyssey? Now more than even I want to thank NFCUS for making it possible for me to attend the University of Toronto this year. No university student should be ignorant ef the wonderful opportunity that NFCUS is offering. Students should realize what they are missing if they only knew what' an exchange stands for—an opport unity to attend any Canadian university tuition free, to live on campus, plus a trip across Canada, independence, and life in a strange city. Only until you see something different can y*ou realize that customs at UBC are not universal. Just the chance to live in residence makes the whole year worth while. Students from all over the world share with you the fun of the big dining room, the never silent telephone, thc midnight bull sessions and the "good-night" line-ups at the door oalurday night. As for university activities, I cannot begin to describe them all. In fact tho only lime I blushed for UBC was at a football game with McGill. The stadium was packed with 20,000 when someone behind me said: "I hear they have to bribe the girls to go to a game at UBC." One • thing I miss here, however, are the many noon hour meetings thai' are so much a part of UBC. I have yet to see anything to equal the good old arguments in Arts 100. Have I said enough to implant wanderlust in at least a few UBC souls? Student exchanges between Canadian universities will help to build up national understanding as well as further individual education. PS—There's a rumor that in UBC's Calendar is the statement that all students are required to wear caps and gowns. Better check—what a way to scare off prospective exchange students.

Always there is the question of con- dition. Where the 'Birds have some condition, the Leafs have none; but where the "old men of basketball," the Leafs, have experience, the 'Birds are just starting to play together. U1RDS WON LAST GAME Last fall the 'Birds and the Leafs met for. a one night stand that saw the locals come out on top by a scant 43xtl score. * Of course the Leafs fans paraded the excuse that their team was not in condition and that the 'Birds Just outran them in the final canto. And, so- the Leafs are going to be out to avenge the beating they took lest fall. But now the 'Birds have pieced up n little moxy In their play and the relation might well be back in balance. LEAFS GETTING WORSE? Then there Is the question of whether the Leafs are getting better or worse as time goes on. At times it seems that they are stagnating in the Senior A league and then on the other hand, the Chiefs once came up with a surprise victory over the all powerful squad. So the games this weekend should be very interesting. The 'Birds have been having a tough time so far this season. In fact they now rest comfortably ln the cellar of the Evergreen Conference. But as far as teams around here are concerned, it would appear that the 'Birds are tops, on this coast or in Canada. The Leafs have been Dominion Tilt- lests foi* some years. Here is a good chance to prove the point just made above. GOOD BY OUR STANDARDS We have a ball club that is really good, at least by Canadian standards, and also by the small school league that we just, got out of last year. As far as being a good club by EvergrdgPlMMtards, that is still to be proven. The season is not yet over. And fans on this campus may rest assured that the 'Birds will not finish the season in the cellar. Borne of our ball players are playing the best ball that they have played in years, including Nev Munro, Forsyth, and speedy Reid Mitchell. Just how .good is "good" remains to be seen. All-Star Volley Squad Named for Huskie Net Test Names of the volleyballers that will play University of Washington on Friday were released by coach Dick Penn. Nev Munro, Gordie Selman, and Doug Angel of Kappa Sig; John Forsyth, Normie Watt, and John Southcott of Betas; Art Philips of Phi Delts; Reid Mitchell of Du's and Ron Stewart of Eng II comprise the squad. Thunderbirds were chosen from the four finalists in the University intramural competition while the Huskies are the team that plays in unofficial competition with other Coast Conference teams. Play starts at 12:30 Friday. Admission is ten cents. Thursday, January 26, 1950 Photo by Doug Barnett MUCH-SOUGHT HAMBER TROPHY is here being presented to captain Wag Wagner for UB*C Thunderbirds by the Honorable Eric W. Hamber, donator of the cup. In background behind Wagner is Herm Frydenlund, hockey writer for the Ubyssey and assistant manager of the 'Birds, while Luke Moyls, UBC grad, is announcing over the microphone. First Hamber Cup At UBC For This S Rests eason 7-2 Count Ends Strong Bear Bid UBC Thunderbird hockey team became the first winners of the newly donated Hamber Cup, when they defeated the U of Alberta "Golden Bears" 7-2 Tuesday night, in the final game of the four game series. Tuesday's game was a thrilling contest with the locals taking the Initiative from the opening whistle and applying pressure throughout the contest. Only a very determined visiting crew kept them in the game. BERRY OPENS SCORING The first goal of the game was scored, by hustling Hugh Berry on a' pass frpm Bob Koch. Hugh's goal caught the upper corner of the rigging and gave Joe Moran in the nets for the Bears no chance to save. Bill Dockery, the class of the visit- ords last night, evened the count on a smart effort which caught the local defenders napping. The initial canto ended 1-1. The break in the game came early in the second .period when Jack MacFarlane smashed home a sizzler from the blueline for one of the smartest goals of the game. Clare Drake set up the pass and Jack made no mistakes. BERRY AGAIN The second and final tally of the middle session came from the stick of Hugh Berry wAo picked up a beautiful pass from Bob Koch and fired home a bullet shot which caught the low corner. Hugh, Bob, and Fred Andrew all turned in top performances for the locals. Don Adams, Terry Nelford. Jack MacFarlane, and Ken Hodgert combined in some teremendous defensive work to hold the Bears score- Former Bird Stor Sparks Puck Upset Haas Young, 'Bird puck star, hit the headlines again yesterday when Canada's world hockey representatives defeated Britain's Wembley All-Stars 3-0. Young sparked Edmonton Mercuries to a win that made them the second Canadian squad in 16 yaers to defeat the world-famous Wembley men. Ottawa All-Stars turned the trick in 1947. Trailing 3-1 going into the final period, the visitors were forced to open up in an attempt to get back into the game. With the play wide open, the locals completely dominated the play and as a result tallied four last period markers. The first, the best goal of the game, was garnered by Bob Koch who topped off a brilliant performance by driving a Hugh Berry, pass into the upper corner from an impossible angle. That shot would have beaten the best goalie in hockey today. Terry Nelford copped the fifth local tally on a three way play with Clare Drake and Gunner Bailey. Terry's shot was a low sizzler which gave the goalie no chance to save. ANDREWS TO KOCH Hard working Fred Andrew set up the sixth local goal when he passed to Bob Koch at the goal mouth. Bob scored while skating backwards on a backhand flip shot which went over the prostrate goalie into the lacing. Hugh Berry clicked for the final tally of the game to get the hat trick. His third goal came on a double pass from Andrew and Koch. Hugh burst into his prolific scoring spree in grand fashion as he countered three unstoppable markers against a close cheeking Alberta crew. Bill Dockery got Alberta's final tally midway through the third period. Ho with Jim Fleming were pick of Ihe "Hears." CHIEFS GO TO POWELL RIVER FOR TWO GAMES UBC Chiefs basketball team will leave on their second road trip of the season tonight when they travel to Powell River for two exhibition games. Ole Bakken's boys will play the first game with the Powell River high school team Friday afternoon and then wtfl meet a commercial team in the Senior B league in the evening. SPORTS EDITOR — RAY FROST Editor This Issue: DANNY GOLDSMITH Win 31-26 Thunderettes Sneak Past Fraser Cafe Thunderettes renewed their pre-Christmas winning streak when they overpowered Fraser Cafe 31-26 in a Cagette Girls basketball game at King Edward gym Tuesday night. Thunderettes showed the effects of a one month lay-off by their inability to put the ball through the hoop in early stages of the game. The University girls warmed up to their pre- Christmas forrn, however, breaking through a well organized Fraser zone defence. The students overcame an early Fraser lead largely through the stellar shooting of Mlml Wright who was Thunderette high scorer. Thunderette's only defeat this year was to Majorettes in the first game of the season. Student femmes revenged the loss in their second encounter with the Majorettes. The two teams meet again next Tuesday. An Inter-squad game will be run ln the gym on Monday at 12:30 p.m. when the former UBC girls team will play the original Thunderettes. The two teams were amalgamated into the present Thunderette squad. Admission will be ten cents.
