THE UBYSSEY Volume XL VAMCUuvEif. tt.C. XCESL »*, hEPlEMMER 17. 1957 No. 1 Armoury "Crush" Eased '57 BOOM Buildings Give UBC New Look 1957 lias created UBC into a metaphorical mushroom. Buildings have sprung up as if from spores miking this year one of the greatest construction boom years in UBC's history. The new Arts and Science building, still under construction, occupies a place on the Main Mall next to the Women's gymnasium. Although the more than $2,000,000 structure will not be open for classes until the 1958-59^ session, faculty offices are scheduled to be ready for use in the late fall. Brock extension, a $350,000 example of students determination and following of the old tradition of helping themselves is open now and ready to house club offices. The extension was financed solely by the $5-a-stu- rient lew initiated by the students to build their $1,000,- 000 War Memorial Gym. Also completed are the bowling alleys in the Memorial Gym valued at $37,000, additions to the library stacks costing $225,- 000 and $125,000 worth of heat, light, water and sewage services. Construction is expected to start sometime next month on the $500,000 Faculty Centre. The Centre will occupy the site of the present temporary Faculty Club. Tenders have not been called for the Centre yet, but architects are working on the final drawings. Tenders are also expected to be called soon for a new $150,000 International House. Construction has also started on a Fisheries Technological building located south of the New Forest Products Lab. Turn- bull and Gale Construction Co. have been awarded the $604,000 contract by the Federal Works Department in Ottawa. It is expected to be completed in one year. Smaller construction projects now underway include a $20,000 auditorium renovation project, $25,000 expansion in the temporary College of Education (Continued on Page 3) See BUILDINGS Over 8400 Students Expected To Register An estimated 8400 students, highest enrolment since the post-war peak a decade ago, will register this week for UBC's 43rd winter session, according to Registrar J. A. Parnell. Administration officials are taking every feasible precaution to ease the inevitable "crush" of the first days of reg- stration. WHERE'S THE JOHN? Morfitt Saves - All Funds To Go To AMS Savings have Been already achieved in student funds, according to George Morfitt, elected Treasurer to Students' Council. v Mr. Morfitt informed the Ubys-I Over 2000 frosh will crowd into the Armoury today, many "f them having arrived in the small hours of the* morning. However, the long wait probably has been in vain. Mr. Parnall told the Ubyssey that there 1s "no real advantage" to the traditional dawn lineup, ■as all sections are being assigned in rotation. Those who register Friday or Saturday will have as good a chance as those who register earlier in the week. Engineers will register this year in the Engineering Building, a move designed to unsnarl Armoury traffic on Thursday. Enrolling Engineers should reach the 1000 mark this year. UBC's highest enrollment was 9,374 in 1947-48. one of the post- Second World War years when many veterans had returned to complete their interrupted studies. This year's near-record figure includes the Sopron Forestry Faculty of Hungary, with nearly 200 students. A total of over 7900 students registered at UBC last winter (Continued on Page 3) Se* ARMOURY Freshettes Eligible For QueenVot€ Nominations open today for Frosh Queen of 1957. ' Women's Undergraduate Society, sponsors of the contest, m\\ receive nominations at the Frosh Orientation Booth throughout registration week. Any member of the freshman class is entitled to nominate my freshette for the honor. The field of contestants will be narrowed down to 10 at ihe Tea Danre. Monday, September 23, at 3.30 in the Brock. Finalists will be introduced to Frosh at the* WUS Big-Little Sister Banquet, the Big Block Smoker, and the VOC Splash and Dance party. Voting will take place at these three functions. The triumphant Frosh Queen candidate will be crowned at the Frosh Reception in Brock Hall, Saturday, September 28. BUDGET DEADLINE OCT. 1st FOR CLUBS All clubs and undergraduate societies must have their budgets in to Treasurer George Morfitt by October 1. Budgets not in his hands by that date stand possibility of ^.tion and no financial from the KW±. 'Wlis .am <4WV«RSJiryWU A»,n' sey that the profits will be j handed on to students through wider AMS-sponsored events and services. All possible funds are being freed for direct student use. Among the advantages of the savings to date are a less expensive Totem. Totem will now sell for $3.50, a saving of 75c to students. Also, free registration cards will be given to all students when they enroll. Formerly these cards, with the student's picture attached, cost 35 cents. Mr. Morfitt confidently announced that a more complete student directory, made possible by extra available money, would appear at the earliest possible date. Most important change under the Morfitt regime has been the installation of a telephone switchboard and extensions for extended student use. Switchboard has been installed in the j AMS office. I Despite the changes, however, •■ Mr. Morfitt maintains that the I "monetary policies will follow i closely those established in the 1956-57 year.'' The most basic change will be i in the realm of Men's Athletics, j That committee will receive a grant of $4.30 per full fee-pay-1 ing student, instead of a lump sum allocation as was given last year.

So you're here now. And you belong to the largest class ever enrolled at this great institution, etcetera. So you can strut over the campus now and dream of degrees and notriety. Ycu may even end up being Frosh Queen or First Member at Large. What we want to know is what right, have you to be here? Don't turn away yet . . . what makes you think you're not just another mealy-mouthed parasite like 75 per cent of the other freshmen who have riddled through the registration line? You with your juvenile duck-tails or debutante dresses. You're coming out this year? , Sure you're coming out . . . you're coming out to show that you're nothing more than a bunch of ignoramuses, parasites who came here to have a ball and boast to your mechanic friends that you're a Vareity type. Oh, you've heard the myth that all men are born equal and you figure that since President MacKenzie had the intelligence to pick up degrees, you must also have that ability .. . to use as a mechanism of proving your superiority over the laboring classes. Unfortunately some top administrators in the education field have heard that Dewey myth too. That's why you're allowed to show your pimply young faces without proving yourselves first. No, you didn't have any entrance examinations. No, you didn't have to do some honest laboring work to rid yourselves of that high school glow. No, you didn't have to learn how the other half lives before you oculd say you belonged to this half. No, none of this. You can just waltz with the Varsity Debs and swear with the Frat boys and that alone should prove your worth to this University. You fit in all right, buddy. You're right in there. Or are you the other type? You know the world owes you an education . . . that's the right of Canada's great youth and all that . . . yet for some reason you're a little bit afraid? Maybe those erudite upperclassmen who find you amusing scare you? Maybe the calender descriptions of courses sound ominous? Maybe the vaulted ceilings in the Library inspire awe? Maybe the English professor looks as if he knows something you don't? Maybe you have an inferiority complex? Congratulations! You should have an inferiority complex. You are inferior. You're nothing at all. You have no "right" whatsoever to the education on which you're lightly embarking. You haven't even begun to find out what life's about, and you have no right at all to feel on a par with the serious students on this campus who are honestly endeavouring to gain knowledge. You can't hold a candle to that professor who spent his "coming out" year earning tuition fees on a tug-boat. So smarten up, kiddies. You're not much of a credit to the University with your present boy scout mentalities. And the leftovers . . . You're the leftovers. You are the few, the very very low. who already suspect that you came here to learn because you recognize your ignorance. You probably won't be the social leaders. You won't wear a blue blazer or speak up in the Club executive weekly meeting. But you are the lew who would hive passed entrance examinations. You are tho few who know what a day's work means. You are the ones who will stave off your "coming out" until you leel you have some reason to do so. You are the few who make it worthwhile for professors to tolerate the others. You are the leftovers. We may never again hear of you, nor have the sense to address you again. But while we do have the sense, we welcome you. 4 ,,.)...,-<; *»«."-. . ^-'vfV-irrtaiAi *..ivft.,..»Blv.vi.iii ..,.i».»it4i«,-«(.i..;,iW !."(.,.i,-* ., J.i.i...' ...**■;■ .^.Sl*-i.wa.At ■ «.•'.■■ '' .. ■ '"., ■ A.*. - - i ...•**.. -.;*■..- -rtkfr) -*\**i& -&&V^t. s ^Jmf»« Vi *"* * LIFE AMONG THE MODERNS "Gentlemen, I want you to observe the change in the signs this year."

Attention Jim MacFarlan: your column due September 23rd, 2 p.m. SCENE: The Brock Lounge. SCENERY: Two Loungers— Frosh—deep in what they now consider their vocation, i.e. profoundly serious talk. Sparks are flying in the smithies of their minds as they hammer out ideas on the anvil of intellect. "I see," says one, frowning aloofly from the depth of a couch bathed in the brilliant light of a Harris abstract, "I see that this here Ubyssey paper is runnin' a column on what this campus needs. Can't sec much sense in it myself. Ain't nothin' missin' 'star's I can sec. This sure is the life!" • "Yeah," replies his interlocutor, subtly removing all traces of roast beef (from between his teeth with delicate jabs of his thumbnail, "this place sure's yot everythin'. Swimmin' pool, bowlin' alleys, eatin' joints, women—and' ya don't even gotta go to lectures." "AN' DIDYA see Hie clubs they got here! Boy, there's some real ciillies —jazz an' dancin' an' skim' an' all sorts. They got some for the creeps too, like this here Critics' Circle an' French an' like that, but then I guess they gotta cater to dil'f'runt types, I guess. But anyhow I got mosta my evenin's booked already an' I met my babe yesterday would knock ver eye out. Her an' mc's gonna get along okay, balieve you me." The lad, obviously worried from the strain of putting Ubyssey in its place and marshalling the evidence for his cogent argument, slumped even lower into the cushions, while his friend, removing the strands of meat from his right thumbnail with the nail of his left forefinger, confidently picked up the ball and gained a-few more yards for the old team. "An' this here Brock place ain't so bad neither," he pointed out. "Ya c'n play poker an' have a snooze, or even getcher hair cut. I heard some interestin' rumors 'bout a 'pub' too, but I think ya gotta be in some kinda job to get in." JAN de BRUYN "Course there's other things ain't so hot," says the oilier, emerging slightly from retirement, and replacing the loftly frown on his physiognomy. There's this timetable thing we got at the Armouries. I guess ya can't just cut them classes altogether, what with exams an' all." "Aw, I wouldn't worry about them. Ya c'n get all the dope from some creep that goes to the classes regular, and cram up the notes just before the exam. They only have them courses to keep the teachers an' them busy doin' somethin'. Y'know my cousin Slim, he was here last year—never bothered his head none 'bout all that stuff. He had one sweet time, I c'n tell ya." "YEAH? Is he comin' back this year? Maybe he can show us some angles." "Well, yeah, he's havin' another shot. Didn't do so good in his courses acourse. He's repeat- in' the year, but he ain't worried none. He'll sure have himself a time. If this place needs anythin', boy, it's a few more guys like him. He sure livens things up." "Yeah—well, I guess at the rate he's goin' he'll be around for awhile, eh?" said the other, who, surprised at the quickness of his mind and the sharpness of his wit collapsed under a mushrooming cloud of his own uproarious laughter. His companion, grasping thc humor of the comment after a moment's hesitation, joined in the laughter. The cloud filled the Brock Lounge, thundered back from the walls, and finally swirled out the floors. Gradually an awe- same stillness, like that succeeding the blast of a hydrogen bomb, filled the room; the loungers, wearied with laughter and obviously affected by radioactive fall-out, sat stunned and silent. The aloof frown reappeared; the fleshy toothpick went once more into action. "There must," said the one, "be something this outfit needs." "YEAH," was the reply, made somewhat gurgly as a result of the dental operations; "I wonder what it can be?" Tuesday, September 17, 19S7 THE UBYSSEY PAGE THREE WELCOME FROSH & SOPRON 'EXTEND A HAND" - AMS PRESIDENT BEN The Frosh of 1957 have a big year in store for them. Our Brock Extension will soon have its formal opening; Club Day should be bigger and better than ever; Open House will take place in the Spring; New buildings are either going up now or are on the drawing boards; the University's Capital Gifts Campaign is underway; British Columjbia's Centennial year is just around the corner; and at last, but not least, we are hosts to the students who formerly comprised the Faculty of Forestry Sopron University in Hungary. To the Sopron students I would like to extend an especially warm welcome. I hope they will make every effort to meet as many people as possible and to participate in as many activities as possible.'To all the other students I can only ask that UBC's hand of friendship be extended as readily as was Canada's hand of humanity in the recent Hungarian Revolution. To all students I would like to point out that the best thing you can bring to University is a healthy curiosity. An inquiring mind will help you in your studies as well as your extracurricular activities. Be curious as to how your AMS fee is spent, who spends it, and why. Get your money's worth by taking part in as many activities as your study time-table will allow. Only in this way New Pubsters Meet irst Friday Of Fall If you are strong, virile and owneither a sense of humor or, failing that, some taleht, you too can be a news reporter. DEAN GAGE Friend For Fundless Freshmen Some funds are still available for loans to students in acute financial difficulties, the office of Dean Gage has announced. However, all existing loan funds have been heavily drawn upon this summer and fall. As a result, only those students in particularly grave circumstances will be considered. In a recent interview, the Dean said that his office would welcome for consultation any student whose personal troubles were interfering with his studies or with the continuance of his education at UBC. Freshmen, in particular. f>re encouraged to visit Dean Gage in his ofice, Room 10 of the Arts Building. 40 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, ITS FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES. THERE'S A REASON BEN TREVINO can you reap the full benefits offered by University. There are opportunities at UBC that should not be lightly passed by. Writing for the Ubyssey or Totem can develop or polish skills and talents you may have. We have an extremely active Club organization, with students gathering together to study or take part in religion, language, politics, literature, communications, drama, photography, films, archaeology, dancing, skin-diving, BUILDINOS (Continued from Pag* 1) building, $35,000 extension to the buildings and grounds department to house architects and draughtsmen during the. continuing building boom, and a $35,000 temporary building for medical research. Other buildings now in active planning stages are: medical sciences centre, biological sciences addition, chemistry addition, library wing, student residences and cafeteria. This boom is something quite unparalleled in the 982-acre Point Grey campus' history. and any other socially acceptable activity you can think of. All of these organizations are avenues to new friendships and interests. The same can be said of the UBC sports program, which is also operated to a large extent on your moneV UBC squads and crews offer the athletic p+udent excellent competition in sport. AH of these activities and several more that have not yet been mentioned have as their governing body the Student Council. The Council offices in Brock Hall fcre open to any student. If you have troubles you would rather take to a student, or if you have doubts as to whom to go to with your problem, your Councillors will be more than glad to do whatever they can, Council meetings are open to all students and begin at 7.301 every Monday evening in thel Board Room of Brock Hall. If you would like to hear all I sides of an issue discussed — j and perhaDs put in your two ] cents worth, come along, we are glad to have you. ; You will soon be asked to vote on your Frosh*executive. The person you elect will sit on the Undergraduate Societies Committee and will represent you in that way. He .or she should be someone who can mold the Frosh, the largest single "group" on the campus, into a cohesive and vital unit. Take an interest in the campaign speeches and use your vote intelligently. Remember always that you are now part of a community known as the University of British Columbia. High-school loyalties should be submerged for a while and your primary loyalty reserved for UBC. Since the time of the Great Trek this student body has been one of the most autonomous — and therefore one of the most responsible — student bodies in North America. Cherish the traditions we have now, and develop new ones of your own. Only in that way can we keep UBC the vital, exciting place that it is. I extend my sincere best wishes for a stimulating and profitable year to all the Frosh of 1957. TtJUM EST! If you are weak, effeminate and own brains, a camera, a cartoonist's hand, a roving eye or a yen for parties, you too can be. If you want to find a quiet spot on campus where you can fraternize with the opposite sex without fear of a Redshirt raid and where you can sponge a lunch and last year's Psych notes, you too. i.e. the Publications Board needs new staffers. Experience preferred — on a high school paper or annual, on a community paper or a downtown daily. If you have no experience at writing, snapping pictures, asking questions, fraternizing with the opposite sex or eating lunch, you. Aye, even you. Training course begins immediately for all freshmen and upperclassmen who wish to learn any phase of newspaper wor'-' photography, layout, report g and writing. Parties also begin immediately. Initial meeting for new pubsters will be held at noon Friday September 27 in the North side offices of the Brock Hall base- I ment. Assignments and practice sessions will commence Friday afternoon. APPLICANTS WANTED FOR WUSC CHAIR Applications are now being received by the Students' Council for the position of Chairman of World University Service. The position has been* left vacant by the resignation of Mrs. Jerry O'Flannigan, the former Kathy Archibald, who notified council this summer she does not intend to return to University this fall. Deadline for applications is September 30. Council will interview all candidates for the post the night of September 30. ARMOURY (Continued from Pag* 1) session, upsetting an estimate of 7200. The estimate of 8400 for this year is a "conservative" guess, said Mr. Parnall. With an enrollment of 8400. UBC would retain its position as second-biggest university in Canada. McGill is the largest, with an enrollment figure approximating 10,000. In addition to discouraging registrants from crowding the Armoury early in the week, and moving the Applied Science Faculty into the Engineering j Building for registration, offi-1 cials have relieved the "crush" j further by moving the photo-1 graphy studio upstairs to COTC j headquarters and restricting slightly the Alma Mater Society displays. Registration closes noon Saturday, September 21. I io the, £dito)c September 6th, 1957 Mr. B. Trevino, President, Alma Mater Society, The University of British Columbia. Dear Mr. Trevino, Copies of the report on the first annual Academic Symposium held at Parksville in February, 1957, were circulated to the members of Senate of the University prior to their recent meeting. The members of Senate have asked me to let you know that they found this report most interesting. They would like to congratulate those responsible for organizing the Symposium. Yours sincerely, J.

Lingerie, Third Floor at HBC -i^ The Cairn commemorates The Great Trek of 1922, ah integral part of UBC history which is unmatched by any other university. In 1922, eleven years after Point Grey had been.chosen as the site of the University of British Columbia, the university was still housed in a group of ramshackle buildings on part of the General Hospital grounds in Fairvlew. Students, tired of their "Fair- view shacks," swarmed over the city and gathered a petition to the government containing over 59,000 signatures. Then came the Trek. The Trekkers paraded through downtown Vancouver in jalopies, then gathered en masse at the site of the present University gates. Marching on foot through bush along what was then only a trail, they gathered rocks on their way and piled them into a mound when they reached the university site. The mound of rocks was the mark they left to show they had been there. Demonstrations lasted for hours. They shouted, cheered, and formed a giant human "UBC" in letters of hundreds of students each. The government was duly impressed. It invited a student delegation to attend a sitting of the legislature to present the students' case, a move then unprecedented in the history of the province. Three years later, students moved into permanent buildings on the present campus. And three years after that, copies of the 55,000 signatures gathered by the students were placed inja peyiruKient cairn, the cairn that stands today on the Main Mall, as a tribute to the Great Trekkers of 1922. F. U. S. Executive Elections Set For October 9 ; Frosh Undergraduate Society executive will be elected by first year students Wednesday, October 9. Deadline for nominations is Friday, October 4. Nominations will be received at a Frosh general meeting in Physics 200, Monday, Sept. 30, at noon, and candidates will give campaign speeches the following Monday noon, in Phys. 200. Polling booths will be situated, on election day, at strategic points on the campus.

All branches of music have Society, and Music Appreciation give concerts and lectures. Then there' are the various language groups, such as Le Ccrcle Francais and the Alpha Omega Society. And of course the bigger clubs, that approach being apprenticeship schools for vocational fields, notably Filmsoc, the Radio Society and the Ubyssey.

NON-CONFORMISTS UBC Players' Club Promises Rare Fare For Centennial By HELEN ZUKOWSKI FRATERNITY RUSHING L Never let it be said that the* Players Club is conformist. | This will be well illustrated I in the campus thespians offering to the Centennial Year — a ; light comedy minus totem, poles, I B. C. Indians, stage coaches and Sasquatch. As Club president Walter Shynkaryk explains, "Almost every drama group in B. C. will be portraying loggers and Indians. By the time the centennial year is over we will have loggers and Indians running out of our ears." In addition to the spring light comedy the club has tentative plans for bringing back Players Club Alumni members to resurrect their roles in a type of stage medley. Among the ranks of the one- time-Player<3 are: Justice and Mrs. Clyne; Bill Buckingham, producer of TUTS; Olive Sturgess, well-known NBC TV actress; David Fulton, Minister of Justice; Lester Sinclair, poet and playwrite; John Glen, popular feature actor in England; Norman Campbell, one of CBCs top producers; Eric Nicol, Pro-; vince columnist; and Arthur j Hill, who starred on Broadway in "The Matchmaker." True to tradition, the first: presentation of the year will be; Eric "Jabez" Nicol's "Her Sci-1 enceman Lover," especially designed for acquainting Frosh with the wild, sinful life at UBC. Players Club curriculum will also include a series of noon- hour one-act plays commencing with Saroyan's "Hello Out There" directed by Peter Brockington. A "not new but much improved upon" feature is the club member training program. Local ; directors and dramatic personalities, will lecture to the members of principals of acting, make-up, direction and-general theatre practice. President Shynkaryk stresses that this is a "must" for club members, but others are welcome.

He stops, stands feet astride, ho6ks his thumbs on his gun belt and then gives you a sideburn- to-sideburn leer. "Why, hello there folks." He speaks to you in the soft tones of an old black mammy tucking her picanniny into bed for the night. "I'd like to tell you about this motion picture. It's the story of a man and the woman he loved . . ." And with that, and as Ava Gardner slips furtively out of the barn while Gable is talking, you have the introduction to another movie preview. 1 This is- one of the most jaro- minent ways of luring an audience into watching the "trailer" of a film. Other methods include flashing a series of teaser scenes before you and the heart- to-heart chat with the story's author (if his prestige is the only thing that will save the plot) or perhaps the film's director — on location, of course. The Ubyssey, eager to have its Frosh adjust quickly to Canada's number one snake pit, acknowledges the talent of the celluloid jungle (and Clark Gable too, I suppose) and is pleased to present three previews of the campus in Wistful Vision and Hysteriophonic Sound. First, meet the director (no author will admit to creating this thing). The scene opens with a view • of the front of the Library. The camera closes in on the back of a deckchair near the pond. On the canvas is the word DICTATOR, put there by a stage hand, who is now trying to get a job in television. A gentleman seated in the chair speaks. "I direct this production. You will like it and I'll like you — as long as you don't put youi4 car in my parking space. Apply some effort and you'll enjoy yourself and appreciate the results. But keep out of my parking space. Now I'd like to pre- ' sent 'Tuum Est and All That'." Or how about a series of scenes? Described as a show that will tell you about a Guy and his Way of Life, the preview will tempt you with glimpses of — you taking your B.A., B.Sc, B. Comm., M.A., M.B.A., M.D., LLD. . . . Finally, the let-our-stan-tell- you type of preview. From the screen you hear the rustle of hay and a low-slung iemale laugh. Out of an Aggie chicken-house crawls the AMS President, casually flicking the chicken. . . .

Absolutely necessary for the veil-dressed Frosh are access©- •ies shown by Givenchy, includV ng the ever-faithful berinie- A-hich has emerged this year in he new Robin Hood style.'' Castillo-Lanvin has dispersed with the "sack" skirt, and will ie followed by the nnost aware cirst-year coeds this fall, who .vill be wearing ordinary, street- length felinf skirts under their nan's shirt which, by the way, MTJJST be worn backwards. ; Liike their masculine counter^ oarts, who will be playing the Pajpma Game with a pajama top in backwards, Freshettes must -ve&r a man's tie in front. Freshettes will wear their 'report cards" pinned to the front of their shirts to make ihem more easily distinguishable from Freshmen, who will pin their cards on their backs. It was Svend who started the trend away from belts and suspenders for Freshmen. But don't worry men. Though you can't use these more conventional ways of keeping your trousers up, you won't have any trouble. You can tie the strings of the apron you must wear through your belt tops. Trust Dior to come through with the finishing touch, to complete the unique ensemble of every Freshette. Carry a doll, he says, if you want to be well dressed. And if you want to be right on top of the fashion world, carry it by the left heel, and only the left heel. And so the fascinating, ever- changing world of fashion once more reaches from Paris to UBC, and, interpreted by the Ubyssey, dictates what you, the Frosh of 1957, will wear this Farl. Well, what you'll wear Sept. 25 and 26, anyway. 2fp?#,;M':.; ?■ \ I a' *' '«}.< ft %timtkL m&zt • Specialists in frame styling I Prescriptions duplicated • Safety lenses • Contact lenses • Repairs Pitman OPTICAL LIMITED (.round Floor VANCOUVER CLOCK MArine 1)928 MArine 2948 ANOTHER PITMAN SPECIAL SERVICE LENSES FROM YOUR PRESENT CLASSES MOUNTED IN A NEW FRAME WHILE YOU WAIT Tuesday, September 17, iSSf THE UBYSSEY PAGE FIFTEEN Close to twenty-nine hundred out-of-town students will be forced to board off campus this year, official sources disclosed Monday. More than half the students ^ enrolling this week are from are out-of-town, and twelve per cent of these are from foreign countries. All rooms in campus residences and camps, which can accommodate 1,200 single and 190 married students, have been rented. Most desirable rooms offered students by home-owners lie /within the area closely surrounding the gates. Though no record has been kept by university housing authorities as to how many rooms in this area have been available in previous years, it is estimated that a large majority of "surplus" students will be forced to take roorrtp in more distant parts of the city. Average rent charged students for room and board in private homes is $65 monthly. Friendly Relations to Overseas Students committee has established a housing bureau under direction of Mrs. F. S.

New-comers Len Smith, Paul Vassos and last year's JV's are making a real race of it. On the quarter-back scene there are three candidates who are showing signs that they can carry the team. Converted half-back Wayne Aiken, veteran quarter-back Bill Melville and rookie Jimi Oliver are all showing that they want that starting job when the Birds open in the Paraplegic Bowl at Western. .At the end spot, things do not look as bright as other places. Mike Williams, last year's starter may find himself out of action because of marks. George Kosich's trick knee never came around. Laurie Tuttle has moved into tackle. This leaves Gnup with a handful of rookies,, long on desire, but short on experience. The tackles are as bruising i bunch as have ever been seen around these parts. Co-captain Roy Jokanovich and Bill Crawford, both last year's starters, are getting stiff competition from veterans Doug Fromson, Jurgen Von Schilling and new-comers Gerry McGavin, Paul Donald and Dave Den- nison. The competition is just as keen in the guard slot, but when the smoke has cleared away, co- *or ^e eas* captain Oscar Kreutziger will be in one spot, with four of Tom Tom Toynbee, Phil Reader, Don MacNamee, Jack Busch, Sven Sunquist and John Goodwin alternating at the other spot. At the centre of the action it looks as if veterans Chuck Kules and George Hoar will be taking encores for another year. r'or Coach Gnup and his assistant, Bob Hindmarch, things are looking brighter than ever before. "However,, anything can happen," cautioned Gnup. For the counter with the Me- tras-men. Gnup must whittle his club from/ the fifty candidates now at camp, to thirty-three. It will be a tough job for Gnup in his junior year of coaching at UBC, as there has been an atmosphere of seriousness in camp; that has never existed before* "Everybody wants 'to catch the club this year," said Gnup. "It is going to be a tough job choosing the final team," he said. Gnup hopes that a scrimmage with the B.C. Lions can be arranged before the club leaves "That will really seperate the men from the boys," laughed Gnup. Following their eastern encounter, Birds return home to do battle with Southern Oregon on Sept. 28 before swinging into conference action against Pacific Lutheran on October 5.
