'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

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

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.

To All Phonies
Okay. 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

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

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

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

Building.

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,

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

The position has been* left

Mrs. Jerry O'Flannigan, the former    Kathy    Archibald,    who

she does not intend to return

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.

moving  the    Applied     Science

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.

They are to go to the banquet
with their big sisters. Another
duty taken on by the big sisters
is to be obtain dates for their
ittle sisters who wish to attend

Aimed At Freshmen
UBC's more than 80 student clubs will set up display booths in the Armory, Thursday,!

dramatic, ethnic and pre-faculty
organizations,

clubs, such as Dance Club; "intellectual" organizations, like
Critic's Circle; and penetrating
political groups, such as Parlia-1 their UBC devotees, from jazz to
mentry Forum. | classic^.    Jazz  Society,   Choral
Many clubs sponsor famous
speakers on campus. In- past
years, celebrities such as W. H.
Auden and Stephen Potter have
drawn capacity crowds to the
auditorium.
Religious clubs, representing
nearly every major denomination, hold open discussions and
lectures on subjects ranging
from social controversies to articles of belief.
All  branches  of music have
Society, and Music Appreciation
give concerts and lectures.
Then there' are the various
language groups, such as Le

the bigger clubs, that approach
being apprenticeship schools for
vocational fields, notably Filmsoc, the Radio Society and the
Ubyssey.
However diverse the interests
of the frosh may be, he .is sure
to find some organizations on
the campus that cater to his specific tastes.

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.

THE     UBYSSEY
Tuesday,   September  17,   1957
Obscene Scenes
From the screen .you can hear
straw rustling and a low-slung
female giggle — Clark Gable
strolls out of a stable brushing
chaff off his checkered shirt and
tightening his belt up a notch.
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. . . .

As orientation draws nearer, only one question is on the
nind of every fashion-wise Freshette: "What will I wear?"
With help of the Ubyssey's fashion department, and iust a
prinkle of inside information on Fall trends, every Frosn can
look.like she (or he) just stepped off a page of Mademoiselle's
College Issue.
To step into Red Sweater Day * ■
vith your best foot forward, be
ure it doesn't match the worst
>ne.
Patou dictates odd shoes and
;ocks for both men and women
his year, a trend found in most
3aris showings, while Chanel
idds a personal touch; she has
ler masculine models wearing
)ne trouser leg rolled above the
knee.
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.

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. Hobbs in
Physics 200, which will operate
today and Wednesday between
9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Football fens, please take note!
UBC is no longer going to be conference door-mat.
If you dcn't believe me, I suggest that you trot out to Varsity Stadium this fall to
see the 1957 edition of your UBC Thunderbirds.
Since the opening of training camp September 12, I have dropped in on several sessions to take a look at what Head Coach Frank Gnup and his coaching staff have to work
with.

Believe me, it's impressive.
The crack of shoulder pad on
shoulder pad and helmet on helmet seems to smash out the message "Beware John Metras, we
are going East Sept. 21 to lick
the tar out of your Western Ontario Mustangs."
There's a tone in the air that
says that this club has a oneway ticket — to the top.
There are a couple of fullbacks: Sandy Harvey and Don
JEllerby, who are hitting that
line like Sherman tanks with
souped-up engines.
The half-backs are raising a
few eye-brows too.
- Veterans Jackie Henwood,
Bruce Allerdyce, Bruce Eagle,
Frank Tarling and others are
fighting to retain their varsity
positions.
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.
Home Game To Host Oregon,
At Stadium September 23rd.
UBC Thunderbirds play their first home game of the
fall football schedule against Southern Oregon College
of Education at 2 p.m., Saturday, Septemeber 23, in the
UBC Stadium.
Their season opens Saturday, September 21, when they
play at University of Western Ontario in the annual Paraplegic Bowl game.
