Electric Interurban lines. A special amendment to the company's rate structures made Saturday morning after company directors learned that UBC students could and were riding from 10th and Sasamat to New Westminster for 5'/2 cents, so cancelled all university student' rates on interurban lines, NLW FATES New rates went into effect on thc Central Park line October 10 and were expected to raise fares generally. Owing to re-zoning, however, student rates from Vancouver to Lee- side (Westminster City Limits) were reduced from 10 cents to 51/2 cents.' The 10 cent«rate had been in effect since 1918 when a clause was written in the B.C. Electric Railway Company's franchise providing for special rates for students travelling from New Westminster and Burnaby to UBC. New rate will be 15 cents from any \r. vi of Vancouver to any part of Burnaby and Z\ cents to downtown New Westminster. FORMAL PROTEST New Westminster and Burnaby si'udents expressed hope that AMS would make formal protest against thc action of the BCER on thc ground that increased fares would work "real hardship" on commuting students. Burnaby Municipal Council and New Wesminster City Council may protest the action since no cancellation of student rates was provided for in the published rate schedules effective October 10. Students boarding interurbans Satin day were informed ,by conductors that sl'udent tickets were no longer valid. No advance announcement was made of the move. ABUSE OF PRIVILEGES BCER officials said that, abusing of privileges by some sludents who reside in Vancouver but used cheaper inlcnirbaii tickets when travelling to points inside Vancouver had some bearing on the move. Interurban rickets were supposed lo be punched by conductors on city lines indicating that transfer privileges had been used but on crowded (sirs conductors often neglected to punch the tickets with the result that Vancouver students were able to ride city cars free of charge. Enforce Code Student Council Keeps Check On Campus Speakers .Dire punishment awaits clubs' bringing unauthorized speakers to the campus, Students' Council officials warn. Council stated yesterday that infringements of Article 16 of the AMS code will be dealt with by action ranging from cancellation of the offending club's budget to suspension or invalidation of its constitution. Article 16 requires all organizations to obtain council's permission before bringing outsiders to address meetings on the campus. The required permission may be obtained by applying to the AMS office for a "confirmation slip". This slip must be presented to the clerk in tho booking office before a room booking is made. Speiial t'o the Daily Ubyssey HALIFAX, Oct. 26 — Former U£C student President Grant Livingstone has cancelled his tour of Canadian univers* ities and is rushing back to Vancouver today to answer charges that war memorial funds were "diverted'' to general student funds last year. Livingstone, who headed a Canadi-^- an delegation to a meeting of the First Beaver Club Grants Next Year TORONTO, Oct. 26. (CUP) Beaver Club scholarships will be awarded for the first time in 1949. The scholarships have an annual value of not more than 500 pounds, and are tenable at any "jhversity or college in Great Britain. They arc open to all veterans of the second World War who served at least one y(*hr in thc Canadian armed services, or to the sons of such veterans. The scholarship fund was created as a result of the operations of the Beaver club which catered to thc needs of Canadian service men in London during the war,1 Trustees of the fund aro thc Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey, former Canadian High Commissioner in London, and General II. P. G. Crerar, commander of Canada's overseas army during the war. Not more than len scholarships will bc awarded in 11)49 for the whole of Canada. Emphasis' will be placed on the humanities and social sciences, since Ihe purpose of the scholarships in educational and not for research. Candidates are required to submit an application lo the secretary of the Beaver Club Trust not later than December 1, 1918. Interested UBC students may obtain application forms fnan the Registrar's office. International Union of Si'udents in Europe, arrived in Sidney, Nova Scotia, Thursday. CANCELS TOUR He left Halifax for Vancouver Friday night, cancelling the speaking tour he had planned in order to report to Canadian universities on the IUS meeting, Livingstone, last year's AMS president, and Bob Harwood, treasurer, have been under fire from si'udents for the past few weeks. They have been accused by students of mis-managing $17,000 in conducting student activities of last year. "I am completely dumbfounded by thc charges that I am guilty of any misappropriation of funds," Livingstone stated when interviewed by a reporter in Halifax yesterday. NO .STATEMENT "Frankly, I cannot make any official statement regarding these charges until I reach Vancouver" Livingstone said, "I did not hear of them until I was able to read eopies of the Daily Ubyssey. I do realize, however, after a telephone conversation with an official of the university made last night, that the charges are more serious than I had at first imagined." "I will grant you that as president of the student governing body, I signed cfteques, but I didn't keep a wad of papers beside me on which to total up the expenditures. I had to depend on my treasurer for that." A BLOW TO FUTURE Livingstone expressed complete ignorance of the matter, stating that he had absolutely no idea what had happened, and also mentioned that wether the charges were found to be correct or incorrect it would constitute a blow to his future and ambitions. ''This is no small matter involving petty jealousies," he declared. "Apparently there is a strong move afoot to saddle someone with what appears to be extravagant expenditures last Damage Suit For Prairie Paper SASKATOON, Sask., (CUP) About 100 students at University of Saskatchewan are threatening to sue the Edmonton Bulletin on charges of slander. The complaint arises from a frontpage story in the Bulletin accusing Saskatchewan students of smearing Clarke Stadium (Edmonton) with green paint. Tlie damage, amounting to almost $1000 oecured shortly before a Huskie Go'dcn Bear grid encounter. While it is not known who did decorate the stadium, it can be proven (hat the job was done before thc U of S train arrived in Edmonton. Students are reported to be asking Stfl.'O.OOO damages. Legal authorities at UBC say they "haven't got a chance." [US Moscow Directed; Livingstone Ex AMS President Blasts Conference HALIFAX (CUP) Oct. 25— International Union of Students was denounced as a tool for Communist propaganda by Grant Livingstone, NFCUS delegate to the recent IUS conference and former AMS President of UBC. Livingstone described the policy of IUS as "blind, Moscow directed." He said Canadian delegates were never allowed voting privileges at the conference and were permitted to sit only as observers. Because of this discrimination, Livingstone joined the Belgian National Student's organization in calling a special "Democratic Frontf' conference of the Western delegates. The special conference fell flat, however, because delegates from Britain, France and Denmark failed to attend. REFUSED DISCUSSION Western delegates attempted to protest Czechoslovakian putsch which resulted in Czech students being jailed but the executive committee refused to discuss the issue, Livingstone stated. 'The executive is overwhelmingly Communist and the Council which should be i'he deciding body serves only as a rubber stamp," he added. Livingstone will advise the National Federation of Canadian University Students to abandon all hope of achieving world peace through an international union of students sponsored by the United Nations because "there is no hope of our ever overcoming the Communist majority in such organizations." Grad Students Get Added Week For Totem Pix ONCE AGAIN, Totem photo- graphers have extended their deadline for graduating student pictures. Dick Blockberger, Editor of the Totem, announced today that photographers will continue to accept appointments for graduating pictures until next Friday.

Leadership by competent university graduates can be one of British Columbia's greatest assets in the future, as her virgin natural resources are depleted and its citizens are forced to find new avenues of commerce. Competent university students, however, cannot always be the sons of wealthy men. take It Off Have you ever had your portrait taken with your shirt-tail hanging out? . UBCs library did. |n fact, in every photograph for over half a decade the "shirt-tail" in this case an unsightly ladder—has figured prominently in the picture. ' The dam thing was put up on the library roof during the war in case the Japanese, in a fit of exuberance, flew 3000 miles across the Pacific to drop a fire bomb on it. Then hor*des of ARP'ers could rush up and sprinkle sand all over. Someone must provide the means of ensuring education to satisfy the abilities of British Columbia's talented young people. At other universities much of this money has come from successful graduates anxious to assist their old school. But in British Columbia the graduates of UBC are still young men, and few of them are ready for the past- time of philanthropy. For its size, UBC is not heavily endowed. Something like eight percent of its students are here because of generous citizens who haye provided bursaries and scholarships. In England, by contrast, 30 percent of its university students benefit from financial aid. Unless provincial or federal governments provide public university scholarships, similar to the benefits enjoyed by veterans under DVA, our colleges must continue to go begging for assistance. Now the Japs have gone back to selling vegetables, the sand is back on the beach and the ARP'ers have joined the Kiwanis club—but the ladder remains. We would be the first to admit that now and again blemishes add to beauty, as in the case of cheeks or bosoms, but it doesn't hold in this instance. The engineers might mourn its passing because there would be no place to hang their effigies but they may be persuaded that it was for the general good. Gypsy Rose is no relation to our Mr. Lee, but the old cry applies: Take it off.

NO REASON Dear Sir: I was talking to myrclf the other day and I pointed cut that there was really no reason why I should give blood to the country because there is nothing heroic when it doesn't hurt anymore and it's quite beneath me to behave like some people who go just for the free coke and anyway I hate coke and thank God I'm not so puffed up with pride that I think my little pint will save a life and anyway my type is "o" which is the universal type and lots of people have "o" blood which makes it very easy for the blood clinic to get and also when I passed through the armories thc other day there were at least three people sitting on chairs and doctors and nurses are always so overworked saving suffering humanity that it's a shame to make them any busier and also I was told yesterday that the blood is usually used up in about three weeks or so on seme silly person whom I don't even know and so when you come to think of it if it goes at that rate you might just as well not give it and I don't want to.be one of the few who made such a splendid turnout last' time showing what a wonderful record UBC has for this sort of thing and it would be different if I was asked to contribute a nickel to the mangy cat protection society because no cue has ever given me blood and after all blood is sort of personal and Canada is a free country etc. and therefore there's absolutely no compulsion to waste half an hour or so of my valuable university time when I might be studying or thinking or anyway having coffee with a friend and I'm sure you'll see my point Sensibly Yvonne Agazarian, 2nd Year Arts LAWYER'S COMMENT Dear Sir: ' <- 7 '•*,' I would like t'o comment on the editorial which appears in the issue of the Daily Ubyssey of Tuesday, October 19, 1948, and headed, "Let The Lawyers Blush." The writer cf that editorial was misinformed as to the facts on which he commented. 9AKTi-mST ™ NO REGRETS/ Specializing in Printing FOR FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES GEHRKE Stationery and Printing Co. 566 Seymour St. Tlie editorial opens with the cc mment, "Student Lawyers on the campus have been scurrying around for the past couple of weeks rallying their ranks behind a resolution . . ,': No move was made at any time nor was it necessary to obtain support in advance for the resolution, The matter was raised in the course of a general meeting of the Law Undergraduate Society called to elect officers to govern the Society, The agenda did not call for discussion either of the action of the Benchers of the B.C. Law Society in refusing to admit Gordcn Martin to that Society, ncr of the editorial comments which appeared in the September 28 issue of the Daily Ubyssey. At the conclusion of the elections and after some discussion of the general business of the Society I, as chairman, asked if ftiere was any further business, It was then that thc resolution referred to was proposed. At no time prior to this meeting was any attempt made to obtain support for thc resolution and in fact the proposer, W. D. Roach, did not have his resolution prepared. The resolution was discussed as fully as time permitted and it was only after support for the general tencr of the resolution had been expressed by a majority that it was decided that the resolution should be drafted by thc proposer and resubmitted to the Society. In the interval between the general meeting and the re-submission of the resolution no attempt was made to obtain support for the resolution. I submitted t'he resolution as drafted to each of the three law classes and it was overwhelmingly approved, I would like to empha« size the fact that a majority of those present at the general meeting voted support of the tenor of the resolution before it was turned over to Mr. Roach to be put down in final form. Moreover the final meaning of the resolution varied not' at all from the meaning of the resolution proposed at the general meeting. In addition, each member of the Society was at liberty to comment on the resolution, not only at the general meeting but also when it was re-submitted for the approval of the three classes, The dearth of adverse comment indicates the acceptance of the resolution by the majority of the members of the Society, It is objected that the editorial of the 28th of September was not read to the members of the Society It was my impression that at tho general meeting the persons present had knowledge of the editorial. When I re-submitted the resolution for approval, 1 gained a similar impression. I was asked by one member of one of the classes to read t'he editorial but this request was not that of the majority of thc class. In any event there had been ample time for any interested persons to read the editorial. It is not true that a "mob of confused students who mumbled a chorus of ayes and nays were told they had just passed the resolution." Tlie writer of the editorial in question states that "the resolution does not represent the opinion of the law students on this campus." This conclusion cannot bc justified in view of the passing of the resolution by a majority of the law students. The resolution does represent the opinions of the majority of the law students on the editorial language used by thc editorial writer in the September 28th issue of the Daily Ubyssey. Yours truly J.

Fool columnist, fighting long way back to daylight, awoke this morning to find boots on counterpane and reek of brimstone in air. Boots on counterpane were no problem, as anyone with slightest acquaintance with boots knows boots have habit of climbing onto bed at night, for company. But smell,of saltpetre and brimstone hanging above fool columnist's head presented problem, until fool columnist remembered Hallowe'en parly previous night. Fool columnist,, life of parly, had stolen show and won great rounds of applause by running wildly around room, bent over double, with firecrackers in each nostril and arms outstretched, in clever representation of jet- propelled Vampire, I. IRE CRACKERS Fool columnist, remembering shrieks of delight that followed his leap over davenport as fire crackers exploded, was almost reconciled to nasal pain, but not so reconciled as not to make mental note to earn applause by swinging from window to window on hostess' drapes, next time. And fool columnist, remembering hilarious events of night before, was even put too far off to sing favorite morning madrigal: "What Care I of Cost of Living, When I'm Not Living With You." For most hilarious event, he recalled, be- sides Berlin airlift show-stopper, was vile rendition of vile bit of doggeral reprinted at top of today's column, by vile group of vile engineers. PAGEBOY-CUT BLONDE Vile engineers, he recalls, hopelessly outclassed by high-flying columnist, had made c iimterbid for pageboy-cut blonde's attention hy throwing empty pop bottles in high-flying o'!i!inni-;ts air corridor, under shabby pretext of routine anti-aircraft practice. Failing to slop noble columnist's airlift to bring bottles to Berlin babies and delight to pageboy- cut blonde, vile engineers, sulking in corner, made desparate bid for attention by jumping up and down in circle, bellowing vile chant reprinted 'at top of column. Following crash - landing of columnist behind davenport, fickle pageboy-cut blonde, broad Slavic cheekbones gleaming under light, joined vile engineers in corner, and was last seen bawling bawdy "We Are. . ." ALL FORGIVEN But fool columnist, never one to hold a grudge, forgives pageboy-cut blonde and envious engineers. He even forgives hostess who, bawling out vile song with vile, envious engineers, ignored pleas of crash-landed columnist for hostess' witch hazel for gun powdered-covered air intake. Full of Christian charity, he merely wonders how drunken engineers, wobbly as newborn sparrows in ihe nest after three watered ryes, can have infernal gall to sing "we eao, wo can, demolish fortv beers." by les bewley Christian columnist merely opines that engineers will reach the can long before any of them reach the forty, GUM STUCK SLIDE RULE And Christian columnist, without wishing to cast reflection on engineer's social abilities, merely suggests that any engineer who boasts he can drink forty beer must have had old piece of gum stuck on polyphase slide-rule, when he counted empties. hi fact, Christian columnist is so sure that weedy, ten-beer-then-taps engineers cannot demolish forty beers, that he ho/cwith offers to set up round of free forty to tiny plumbing marvel that engineering faculty will nominate a.: representative; allowing boaster two full hours to live up to claims in engineers' silly song, * And all Christian columnist suggests is that ii engineers cannot find such , Horatius and make good, then engineers had 'boiler be pre pared lo face combined scorn ef other facul ties, and los s ot alTections on' pageboy-cut blonde-. / Tuesday, October 26, 1948 THE DAILY UBYSSEY Page 3 Writer, 'Mock' Assembly Spark UN Week Activity Matthews, Leggatt Elected To Aero Club Executive Jack Matthews was named president of UBC Co-operative Aero Club at a meeting Saturday.

THE DAILY UBYSSEY Tuesday, October 2G, 194S The Armchair Athlete By CHUCK MARSHALL When football experts put their heads together to decide the score of last Saturday's Thunderbird- Missionaire game, they gave the home team about a 50-50 chance to win. With this in */ the wind, the 'Birds who had upset predictions so badly the week before, decided , to be more co- I operative this I time and keep as much as possible to the laid- down schedule. Neverthless, although the final score was as predicted, a number of events unfolded on the gridiron which surprised a lot of spectators. For the first time this season the front line supplied the driving force for the Blue and Gold offensive plays. The heavier UBC gridsters made a total of 209 yards on the ground aa opposed to the Missionaires 134 and in the process looked as if they really knew what they were doing. Once again it was the stellar broken field running of Dougie Reid which made most of the ground but also Bob Murphy's deceptive quarterback sneaks accounted for a lot of distance and at one point a touchdown. THE OGGIES HAVE IT On the other hand in the passing department, which usually sees the 'Birds best efforts, the home- towners looked like the bunch of proverbial farmers both on the offensive and defensive. The much talked of tightening of UBC's pass defense failed to materialize with the result that Cial Boyes' pin-point tosses almost spelled victory for the Whitman cTew. Boyes made 10 of his 17 throws good for a total of 127 yards while Murphy, having a hey-day on the ground, made only 4 of 9 tosses click for a mere 25 yards. Despite their rather weird reversal of form, however, the 'Birds never looked better. Almost 4000 fans turned out in the pouring rain to cheer the locals on and enjoyed every minute of the tilt. With the breaking of a losing streak which extends into last seas- son, the Thunderbirds seem well on the road to an honest to goodness win, NOW IS THE HOUK And what could be a more appropriate time than next Saturday when they tangle with the College of Idaho. Little is known of the crew from the potato state except that on this very same homecoming day last year the 'Birds racked up their first recorded victory against the team from Moscow, Id. If the UBC gridmen have a touch of the dramatic in their souls they could beat the same team on the same day this year and make a permanent notch for themselves in the hall of fame. In conclusion let's have a quick look at one of the more obscure sides of the grid picture. There are still on the campus a number of students, particularly among the minor sports enthusiasts who wonder why the 'Birds wit|h their rather quesitionaible success to date, keep getting so much attention from promoters, athletes and the press. Here is the answer. In the first two games which the grid team played at home, enough profit was made to pay for all football expenses for the remain- er of the season. This means that all of the profit made from the rest of the games this season is clear and will be stacked away in the MAD coffers, LOVE THAT MONEY With austerity rampant on the campus and hitting the smaller sports where it hurts most, this tremendous boost to the parent bank roll will mean more and better athletes for the whole university, And so you people, who wonder why the winning but non-paying soccer, rugger teams etc. are not, receiving as much attention as might be expected, there is your answer. Win, lose or draw, football, is supporting most of the rest ot the sports on the campus by the crowds it attracts and as go thc grid wars so goes the rest of UBC's athletes. VA y«r SPORTS EDITOR CHUCK MARSHALL Editcr This Issue - DAVE CROSS Cagers Split Debut With Port Alberni Win Opener 47-36, But Islanders Bounce Back With 51-44 Upset UBC's basketballing Thunderbirds made their debut over the weekend by taking half of a two-game series with the Port Alberni Athletics. A STUDY IN EARNESTNEST'is recorded in the above scene from the intermission of Saturday's UBC-Whitman grid tussle. With a 13-13 tie on his hands at half time Don Wilson strives to find a winning combination for the remainder of the tilt. Among the attentive gridsters in the backgroudn are Bobby Brewer (20), Jim Breen (45), and Bob Murphy (44). Photo By Danny Wallace 'Birds After Prep 1 ying for Idaho Whitman By JACK WASSERMAN <$>— Like the orses of yesteryear the first part of the Thunderbird schedule has passed intc the football limbo. When the 'Birds meet College of Idaho in the annual Homecoming renewal next Saturday they will have behind them a record of three losses and one tie to wave in the face of the vaunted enemy. And the worst should be over. FOOTBALL TEAM The "Birds finally hit their stride Saturday when they played like a football team to hold the Whitman College Missionaries to a 13-13 saw- off. Some people might have called it luck but when UBC held out two Mission thrusts from inside the five yard line it was a case of smart ball. There was once a time when UBC fans were resigned to a score when their team was backed to tho wall but .iter Don Wilson';; men held Whitman twice in a row il was easy to see that there have been .some chances made. BEAT IDAHO According to Wilson the first four games "are all behind us now." The 'Birds are practicing with an eye towards beating tho Coyotes who last year took UBC into camp by a 3n-0 tally. One of Wilson's main jobs will be to sharpen up the Bue and Gold pass attack which was conspicuous by its absence in the Whitman contest. But despite complaints from the grandstand quarterbacks, the UBC back- field will probably still be made up Soccer XI Regains Form To Blank North Burnaby Varsity's powerful soccer machine was clicking on nil eleven cylinders Saturday, as the Blue and Gold aggregation jhalked up a 3-0 triumph over North Burnaby in a Vancouver uid District soccer league fixture on the campus. Jack Cowan, Stu Todd and Ken*- — Campbell scored for Varsity, while The Bird aggregation, which is thc one tentatively to represent UBC in thc newly formed Evergreen Conference thi.s season, easily took the first game of the series 47-36. Coming from an 18-15 count at thc half, the Birds, sparked by firebal- ling Ried Mitchell who garnered 15 points for the winners, roared on to victory. Exichief Bobby Boyes and holdover from last year, big Johnny Forsythe aided the Bird cause. However, it was a vastly different Port team that took the floor against the Pomfretmen on Saturday night in the island city. The Athletics got off to a fast start and held a 10-point lead at the quar- termark and then held on to leave thc floor leading 26-18 at the half. After a big pep talk from coach Jack Pomfret in the half time breather, the UBC team came on the floor in the second half bent on leaving Port Alberni with two victories under their knee guards. Smooth styled Jimmy McLean came alive in this period and pulled in 12 points for the Birds as they made their bid for the lead. But the team effort was not quite enough, and even though McLean was helped by some 11 points from the arm of Mitchell, the Birds were still the underdogs by a 51-47 count as the final whistle blew. In an interview after the series, coach Pomfret said, "I am quite satisfied with the showing of the Birds in Port Alberni. However, we are going to have to do a lot of work before we will be able to meet Conference opposition in January."

People close to the team point out that one game doesn't make a season. They back up their contention with references to the Willamette game where the 'Birds passed rings around the opposition only to stall on thc ground. Against Whitman the reverse was true. BREWER FINISHED A blow to UBC hopes came yesterday with tho announcement that Bob Brewer, starting half back Saturday, is probably out for the season, a.s a result of injuries received when he was clipped. Another clipping casualty who won't see action this week is Pete Trim. Gil Blair picked up his first shutout in first division company. The win moved Varsity into second place ahead of Collingwood, who lost 2-1 to the rampaging No'quay club. The hapless South Hill eleven lost their fourth straight, 2-1 to Raniers, Coach Davies shuffled his line-up in an attempt to find a winning o in- Linal.ion, moving Stu Todd to left wing with Ken Campbell Uil.'mg over Todd's left inside .spot. The rn>\e paid off, a.s each of these boys celebrated his new position by getting a goal in thc second half. Jack Cowan broke up the game late in the first half, booming in a blistering penalty shot, bis fourth of live season. Todd's goal came a.s the re- suit of a perfect center by Bobby Moulds, and Kenny Campbell scored after a goalmouth scramble.

UBC went down again before the onslaught of the Rowing Club. Injuries plagued them at the beginning of tho game when both Geoff D'Ease- urn and Art Lilly were forced to lcetvc the game. The UBC team fought hard in the first half, holding the second place Rowers to a small three point advantage. But in the final period the favored boatmen pushed their way through the campus team to make the final score 11-0. What's A Tune-Up?
