Saturday. Lacking two of their leading forwards due to injuries, the collegians piled up a 12*0 advantage in the flrst session but wilted badly in the second, allowing the East- enders to come within four points of equalising. The Blue and Gold was in brilliant mood when the gome started and had things all Its own way. The back field played faultless rugby, handling the greasy ball without a tumble. The forwards got the ball out of the scrum often enough to keep Varsity on the attack for the whole peroid. Ex- Techs fought hard but displayed a clumsiness which stood in sharp contrast to their form In the next session. Bobby Gaul started the day's work for the score-keepers when he ran 30 yards, dodging divers Greenshirts to score the flrst try. The U. B. C. threes were staging rush after rush but heavy tackling by Ex-Tech spoiled most efforts. P. BARRAT PLAYS STELLAR GAME Tha next scoring movement was started by Ellis, who turned in his best ?ame of the season. The five-eighths roke through the opposing three- line, passed to Martin who handed the oval to Estabrook to place over the line. Again the try was not improved. Phil Barratt did some fast travelling when he ran diagonally right across the field, and passed to Gaul who was hurled out five yards from the line. The mantle of Bud Murray rested on the shoulders of Phil Barratt for one game at least, when the red-headed three-quarter scored six points on kicks and narrowly missed adding six more. The first of these came when he hoisted the ball over the posts on a penalty. Estabrook seized a chance offered by an Ex-Tech miskick, scooping the ball off the ground at full speed, and slipping it to Gaul after drawing the fullback. Phil Barratt's kick sailed directly over the top of the It ft hand post and the try was declined unconverted. MacConnachie came into the limelight by trying a tricky pass, which was so clever that it deceived everyone, even himself, Phil Barratt's drop kick from thirty yards out deserved better luck when it hit the post and bounced back. Mercer and Gaul pulled a criss-cross run which got to within three yards of the line. Ex-Tech began the second canto in championship style. The Green and Gold squad tackled hard and was always on the ball. Th. threes handled one hundred per cent better than in tbe first half. Varsity on the other hand appeared to have lost all its pep. The collegians fought desperetely, but fumbled continually.

Calvin Winter is one of the most popular artists In the city,* his Sunday evening concerts and his connection with the Capitol and Orpheum theatres have e s t a b I is hed his fame as a musical director A real musical treat is in store for everyone who attends this concert on Thursday of this week. Calvin Winter FROSH DANSANT DRAWS ACCLAIM Cries of "Gyp, gyp!" when the home ! waltz ended ten minutes before the I scheduled time showed that the Arts 'HI tea dance met with the approval of those who gathered at the Winter Gardens, Saturday. The party started slowly, much to the agitation of Mr. Bromiley, who was in charge of the affair, hut when the vurioua athletic contests had been decided, students began to roll up from all points of the compass. English rugby enthusiasts from Brockton Point arrived to celebrate their victory. Soccermen from Powell Street came to talk about their referee. Disappointed Canadian football patrons journeyed from Athletic Park to forget their misfortunes in the wild eaca- phony of the "St. Louis Blues." The "British Columbians" provided the inspiration for the dancers and appeared more stylish than when performing at the Senior barn dance. Refreshments appeared and disappeared early in the evening, while as night fell, a large number of moonlight waltzes with cut-ins made the finish arrive too soon for most of those present. Light A well-planned attack was made on Friday night by tbe Uppor Floor men of the Anglican College upon the den teens of the Lower Floor. At 2.HO a.m. the invaders crept down to the lower hall and took pre-arranged positions at the doors of their victims. At the zero hour three taps sounded •nd th».> lights were switched out. Each attacker threw open a door, rushed to a bed, grabbed bedclothes, ejected water Into the sleeper's face and departed with the hedclothe*.. Closely pursued, the rnldinir party retired to the upper floor, leaving strategically-placed chairs to protect the retreat, and securing themselves behind locked doors. Interviewed by the "Ubyssey" regarding the prospect of future developments, an Upper Floor man expressed confidence in the ability of nis faction to look after itself, "We have position, gravitation and organization in our favor," he declared, 'and so we should worry!"

Soccer Team Outplayed By Firemen This is the talc of a team that didn't got a break: of how a game but pitifully light Varsity Senior Soccer team outplayed the massive Firemen in all departments except shooting, and yet hud to take a 4-1 defeat at Powell Street grounds Saturday. To the average eye the large score would suggest an infiinte superiority, but on the contrary, it was the students who were superior without having a single break all the afternoon. The first disaster befell Varsity after five minutes of even play when a ground shot struck a rut and bounced over the prostrate Varsity keeper for the first score. Soon afterwards a black shirted winger got away to re-, gister the second with a clever shot from a difficult angle. All this time Varsity has quite as much of the play, and now Costain, Cox and Bunny Wright all figured in a glorious movement which culminated In the diminutive centre reducing the deficit. Five minutes before half time, another misfortune occurred when Firemen notched a third counter from what appeared to most of the crowd to be an offside position. ROUGH PLAY SWAMPS COLLEGIANS When the teams changed over the collegians played like champions and for most of the half the Hook and Ladder men were penned in their own penalty area. Todd, Costain and Cook all tried their luck, striking the bar or skimming it. Costain was badly fouled on the edge of the area when three opponents hit him simultaniously but he continued and the free kick was saved. Kozoolin was the next victim of rough play, and he was carried to the sidelines with a twisted knee. Varsity went to the attack and although their shots were close, Dame Fortune was stingy and the boys could not score. All throughout the period the Varsity men played inspired football yet ten minutes from the end a crowning chunk of bad luck finished the scor- (continued on page 2) GENERAL LEVY FOR STADIUM APPROVED BY STUDENT BODY Dollar for dollar co-operation mooted by the Government At a special meeting of the Alma Mater Society held Friday, October 24, the student body sanctioned the proposal that a levy of five dollars on all students shall be collected along with the Spring term fees. Inaccurate knowledge as to the number present left indecision as to the validity of the motion, but a further check on attendance revealed that u quorum wus present. The money collected by the compulsory levy will be used to construct the first unit of a future stadium worthy of the name of the University. Charlie Schults, Men's Athletic Pres, pointed out that U. B. C. is at a great disadvantage through the lack of a Btadium, not only because games cannot be held on the campus, but also because Varrsity can only collect one third of the gate receipts of any game held at the athletic parks in the City. As a result U. B. C. is unable to finance many athletic series, because of inability to make a guarantee. A motion made by Allan Todd, advocating the ballot system of voting on the question, was dismissed as out of order. E. King emphasized the fact that the time was not yet ripe for the building of a stadium on tbe campus and that with the amount that could be raised no construction could be built worthy of the name of stadium. The word "compulsory" was objected by C. Ft. Harwood. It was moved by Maurice DesBrisay that any student who submitted to Council a written application for exemption from this levy might receive the same if the president of Council considered the reasons offered sufficient to justify such exemption. This motion was defeated, however. Don Hutchison explained that a delegation consisting of himself and Schultz Interviewed tne minister of public works, and placed before him the offer of the Alma Mater Society to provide $16,000 toward the project. Mr. Lougheed assured tho delegation that the government would appropriate an equal amount from the funds for unemployment relief now in the hands of the government. NO COUNCIL NEWS At midnight Council was still in session and there were no announcements of importance to be made. MIDTERM EXAMS Dean Buchanan has announced that mid term examinations will begin within the next week or ten days. W.U.S. Plans Peppy Take-oft!

RUSTIC SENIORS HOLD HICK HOP Seniors dabbled in rural festivities, partook of agricultural repasts and danced to queer-sounding songs at the first barn dnnce and class party of the year held in the renovated gymnasium, Friday night. Agrarian costumes were the mode for the evening and the most dignified of upperclassmen wore dingy overalls and flapping straw bats. Some of the participants arrived in a dilapidated cart drawn by "the old gray mare," all of which added to the gaiety of the night. Jack Emerson and his orchestra clad in ancient garments redolent of the farm played appropriate music and old fashioned songs like"Turkey- in-the-Straw." The music held forth from a farm wagon decorated with the odd spray of wheat and straw. Lunches were served in boxes and the punch was poured from genuine- looking barrels. During the "hash- hiking" interval a battle royal took place for the ice-cream, in which the young farm bloods struggled on the dance floor to gain the frozen sweet for their "draws." Patrons for the affair were, Dr. and Mrs. Sage, Dean and Mrs. Buchanan, Dean Bollert and Prof. A. C. Cooke. Coming Events TO-DAY. OCT. 2K— Radio Club meeting. APP Sc 202, 12.10. S. ( .

Canadian rugby team went down lighting before the onslaught of the Saskatchewan squad on Saturday. 18- 8 was the score run up by tho victorious Green and White against the coast visitors. Varsity opened the game in promising style and made the flrst points when Latta sent a drop kick between the posts. Four disasters turned the tables early in the battle. Latta and Dirom being eliminated from the backfleld and Cliff and Winters from the famous stone wall. Dempster, skilled University of Saskatchewan punter, proved invaluable to his team. Eleven points were scored for the Green and White by three place kicks and two deadline punts, and the rest of the score was due to U. B. C. fumbles. A spectacular run was made by Clarence Cosh, Saskatchewan Snap, us he scooped up a loose ball and dashed thirty yards for a touchdown in the third quarter. The crowd waa on its toes as it watched this player make for the U. B. C. line, and wildly cheered as tie plunged over, U. of 8. WINS CHAMPIONSHIP Staged at Cairns Park in Saskatoon, the game gave the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Championship and (with it) the Hardy Cup to the University of Saskatchewan. Both were taken from U. B. C, which decisively won them last fall. Dr. Burke, head Varsity coach, believes that it will be several weeks before Dirom will be back in the game. A tendon was pulled in his shoulder. The rest of the team should bo in condition to meet Westminster on Saturday. The line-ups were: Saskatchewan: Cook, Orchard, Embury, Tomeko, Silver, Hanson* Campbell, Dempster, Lukan, Gordon, Carpenter, Bell, McCusker, McNab, Bowker, McAdam, Therrein, Graham, D6W6V # British Columbia: Smith, Perdue, Jack, Cliffe, Hager, Peden, Winters, Hall, Duncan, Jestley, Murdock, Moore, McGulre, Root, Mclnnes, Latta, Dirom, Bolton, Steele, Chodat, Walmsley, Hedreen. Job Hunting Tips Given Science The second of the series of weekly noon hour talks on choosing a profession will be given on Tuesday, October 28, at 12.25, in Ap. Sc. 102. These talks which are given by various members of the Faculty of Applied Science and by outside professional men, are intended to assist the student to make an intelligent selection of a course that will fit him for a career suited to his particular tastes and aptitudes. They are primarily for Freshmen who are considering whether to enter Applied Science or not and for Applied Science students who are endeavouring to decide which course to select for their final years,—but any student is welcome. The second talk also will be by Dean Brock on the choice of a profession. It will deal with the fundamental factors that should be considered and upon which the choice should be made. This will be followed by talks on the training in Applied Science and the occupations for which such a training is especially suitable and by talks on individual professions, tbe nature of the work, the special qualities necessary for success and the life in this profession.

Friday's Alms Mater meeting might be branded as a somewhat ridiculous performance. At one point it waa found that those voting didn't know the sub-question at Issue. Judging by the way the meeting was conducted, it wouldn't do the Council any harm to delve further into the mysteries of parliamentary procedure before it attempts to hold another one. The most unsatisfactory feature was the inability of one speaker to bring up the queation of secret balloting. He made several efforts, but was ruled out of order. The President acted as he thought proper, but some way should certainly have been found at a democratic gathering, for this speaker to get an expression of student opinion on his idea. Could he not have moved that consideration of the motion before the meeting be suspended in order that a vote by ballot be taken? The "Ubyssey," however, fails to see mitbclent reason for the adoption of this secret ballot suggestion. There is no need for It In the ordinary affairs of the Alma Mater Society. In more important business matters the Council may be compared to a Directorate and the students to shareholders, who meet as an incorporated body to discuss extraordinary resolutions, according to clause 22 of the "Societies Act." If the secret ballot were used, less attention would be paid to the issues, and It would be difficult to get enough votes cast. The present general meetings have the interest of those tn attendance, the matters in question are discussed, pro and con, and no self-respecting student should find himself without an opinion to express by voting one way or another. The discontent with Friday's affair lies in the fact that it acquired an undemocratic flavor because a little too much red tape was unwound in a rather confused way. We are informed that pledges are being signed by some disgruntled persons saying they will not subscribe to the decision of the Alma Mater meeting unless the whole matter is re-opened and settled by ballot. Since these students did not have enough interest to attend the meeting, or enough courage to vote according to their convictions, they have no business trying to interfere now. The necessary number of A.M.S. members was preaent at the meeting, and voted allmost unanimously in favor of a general; levy to raise $10,000 for stadium facilities. It was a foreslghted and well, lustifled action. ! HIGHER FINANCE Editor, "Ubyssey," As an alternative proposal to a compulsory contribution of $5.00 from all members of the Alma Mater Society, I suggest the stadium project be financed in the same manner as the "gym." The interest on a loan of $15,000 ot 0a, amounting to $900 shoud be largely, if not entirely balanced by gate receipts. Even in the case of the A.M.S. having to pay this sum, it would amount to only $.60 per student. A 15 year loan paid off at the rate of $1,000 per annum, would mean another $.50. Should it be necessary to repay the principal within a shorter perold, say 7 years, the maximum annual payment per student would be $1.50, decreasing each year as the interest on a smaller principal decreased. This would be the absolute maximum, and with gate receipts should be considerably less, Surely no student could object to a $1.00 or $1,60 per year extra, which could be collected in the game way that the funds for retiring the "gym.' debt are raised, I.e. Included in the Alma Mater fee. If the plan is feasible and can be carried through it will result in a more even distribution of tbe burden. Under the present system, Seniors, in their last three months, contribute $6.00 to a project from which they will derive no benefit, while succeeding classes pay nothing. "Junior." Editor's Note We are informed that this plan was given consideration, but was rejected on business grounds. Perhaps the Business Manager will write an explanation for publication. We are satisfied that there were good reasons for not floating a loan, but an explanation would be of interest to all students.

To the Manager, Dear Sir: I have the honor to inform you that I have been appointed for the Press-service in connection with the issue of the new Columbus Postage Stamps in commemoration of the discovery of America. The stamps have been put into circulation to-day, in Sevilla. I believe readers of your periodical would appreciate the news I am send- !ng. (If) you will graciously publish it in your Journal, should be very much obliged to you for one or several copies of the respective number. Here enclosed, please, find my address ready for use. With my anticipated thanks, I remain, Dear sir, Yours very truly, Eduardo Navarro. Editor's Note:—Also enclosed ready for use was a complimentary set of these colorful and interesting stamps. Any students who wish to see them may apply to the Editor, and any who want to obtain sets for their collections should write to Signor Navarro at once. MR. IMI' VAN WINKLE The Editor: Sir: I sincerely trust that this letter will not be critized too strongly, as it is merely a suggestion and an idea. When the stadium at Little Mountain has been completed what percentage of the year will it be used by the City. The fact that Seattle uses the U. of W's stadium only 3 or 4 times a year leads me to believe that Vancouver will not have much more need of its proposed stadium than the above mentioned. Would, or would it not be a feasible idea for the University to put some proposition up to the Council, arranging for the construction of the stadium, in which certain requests be accepted, in return for the $10,000. There are two advantages to this suggestion: — 1. That the stadium at Little Mountain will draw much larger crowds. 2. That when the people of Vancouver see that the U.B.C. has a really worthy team, they will feel it their duty to help raise funds to send the team back East A. N. Other (JOOI) SPORTSMANSHIP Editor, tbe Ubyssey, Dear Sir: In view of our stand at the past meeting of the A.M.S. we wish It to be clearly understood that we are not in favor of any post-mortem agitation detrimental to the furtherance of the stadium project. The Council has received ratification from the student body, and further opposition to what is now the will of the student body would only reflect upon the stability of the A.M.S. Yours sincerely, E H. King. A. L, Todd. SPRING (Yet another young poet has been inspired by the vernal season.

Having overheard certain wise words concerning sophistication, we have been considering the quality with our accustomed care and thoroughness. It appears, from the opinion of a certain brilliant columnist, that the more you are sophisticated, the less you are sophisticated. One is then to believe that the simpler the output of any writer, the greater his sophistication. This is confusing. Up to now we had always thought of our dear fellow-scribe, A. the A.-R. in the terms of the good old song, "If this young man expresses him__lf in terms too deep for me. Why, what a very singularly deep young man this deep young man must be." But its all wrong. According to our new and enlightened view, the deeper the dumber. We can only believe that the "decorative glimpses of the obvious" wherewith the Rapper adorns his column are nothing out part of a gigantic system of camouflage built up to hide from the world the un-brushed peachbloom of the author's unsophistication, innocence, and boyish enthusiasm.

Among the groups are two Freshmen, Cy Lee and Jim Winters. Leo Gansner la a trackman, a long distance runner. R. Chapman is of basketball fame, and there are six English and six Canadian rugby men. The list of stars is as follows: Track: Leo Gansner 'Basketball: R. Chapman, Cy Lee; Canadian Rugby: Ernie Peden, J. Mitchell, D. Moore, A. Rhodes, B. Latta, J. Winters, T. Berto; English Rugby: Bobbie Gaul, Dick Nixon, Ken Martin, Vic. Rogers, Bill Robbins, Monty Wood. Not only are these men outstanding in athletics, but many of them are prominent in executive positions. Leo Gansner is President of the Track Club this year, and Vice-President of the Western Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union. Last year Bill Robbins held down the presidency of the Graduating Class, and Ken Martin heads the Sciencemen's Undergraduate Association. Tommy Berto is the only student to receive an Honorary Award for his outstanding contribution to athletics. He was associated with athletics at U.B.C. for many years, having been President of the Men's Athletic Association in his time. WHAT BIG BLOCK GRADS ARE DOING Heiley Arkley: Honorary President of the Big Block Club. He was noted as a basketball player and is now employed in the city. Brit Brock: One of the towers of strength on the McKechnie Cup team years ago, he is now back at U.B.C. instructing in Civil Engineering. Art Lord: Art who was one of the most outstanding men U. B. C. has known is following his chosen profession of law at the City Hall. BH! Phillips: This mighty soccer man has accepted an engineering position in Lagos, Nigeria. Jimmle Sinclair: Another McKechnie Cup man is finishing up the last year of his Rhodes Scholarship at St. James College, Oxford. Jimmie was St. James' wing three quarter last year and nobody would be surprised if he succeeded in copping his Blue this year. Bert Tupper: Twice captain of the McKechnie Cup team, he is now working at the B. C. Telephone Co's. Radio Station. Howard Eaton: Howard is back in town after two years at Harvard. While there he and Ralph Farris, another Big Block man took part in the first Harvard-Yale English Rugby game.

Jimmy Dunn: This runner is still to be seen around the campus, for he is taking Education. Wilf Morris: This rugby forward and pole vaultor ia with Major Grant, the contractor, applying his knowledge of engineering. COME TO THE DANCE at Hotel Vancouver OCTOBER 29th 3n potior Of JJeto Stoarb dinners, Obtain Tickets From Members of the Big Block Club Jim Winters Cy Lee and Jim Winters have the distinction of being the only two freshmen to win their Major awards last year. Cy starred as a fast basketball player. Jim Winters held down a regular berth on the Canadian Rugby team. Cy Lee Big Block Club is Sport Medium The Big Block Club is now in its second year of existence and is beginning to take its proper place in Campus athletics. Formed of the outstanding athletes of all branches of sport, the Club was organized as a medium of co-operation between the various clubs coming under the Men's Athletic Association. By means of the Big Block Club players and fans among the student body can be enabled to act together for the benefit of university sport as a whole. Heretofore, certain matters in the realm of sport have been nobody's business. Now, if they need backing, the Big Block takes them in hand. For instance, it has long been said that there should be a closer connection between high school athletics and the University. Nothing was done until the formation of the Big Blook Club. Last year this organization presented a cup to be competed for by high school basketball teams. This tournament, an annual affair, will be held this year during the Christmas holidays, in the university gymnasium. Similar competitions in other branches of sport will probably be promoted. By this means, not only will sport in the high schools be encouraged, but promising material for future university teams will be developed. Another problem which the Big Block Club is best fitted to tackle is the drive for a stadium fund. The students have pledged $10,000. The government has promised $15,000 if an additional $5,000 can be raised by the students. The most likely way of raising this last amount is by a drive for subscriptions. The Big Block Club is the logical society to conduct such a drive, being representative of all sports that will benefit by the erection of a stadium. There is no other organization competent to undertake this task. Membership qualifications ensure that the members will have an active interest in college athletics. All students winning the Big Block award for proficiency in sport automatically become members of the Club. The award is made at the discretion of the Big Block Committee, which is composed of the President of Men's Athletics, the captains of the senior teams in major sports, one member of the Alumni appointed by the Alumni Society, and one member of the Faculty appointed by the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs. While awards are usually made to members of major teams, who fulfil certain qualifications, outstanding players in minor sports whose ability compares favorably with Canadian championship standards may be given a letter if the committee sees fit. Graduate holders of the Big Block letter are honorary members of the Club. It is intended to develop Presentation Day, when the awards are made, into Big Block Day in honor of those who have most recently received the highest recognition that the University can give for prowess in athletics. This year a dance will be held by the Club which will undoubtedly become an annual social event of importance. At the presentation ceremonies the whole student body gathers in the Auditorium to show its appreciation of the men who have carried the Blue and Gold to victory on playing field, track and gym floor. Each winner of an award appears on the stage to receive his letter and i.s applauded by the assembled students. It i.s in this way that the Alma Mater Society gives recognition to its outstanding athletes. P. C. P* c.

OP THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA 4 THE UBYSSEY October 28,1930 UBYSSEYGRAD 33uPSsn>grab October 28, 1930 Editor-in-Chief: Jean Woodworth Assistant: R. A. Pllkington Published by the Alumni Association, University of British Columbia Absentee Vos Salutamus It has been the custom for the last few years for the Alumni Association to publish an issue of the Ubysseygrad at the time of the Homecoming celebration. That the four page paper has shrunk to this single sheet is explained by the statement of the Association's hopes of editing a yenr-book, to bo found elsewhere on the page. However, the purpose of the Ubysseygrad remains in one function undiminished. Though forced to decrease the actual news of graduates which was formerly important in this paper we continue one tradition with the same fervour, though the space is small. That tradition is the privilege of extending the best of good wishes to the various groups of U. B. C. Alumni whose thoughts at this time of year turn back to their undergraduate days, whether they were spent at the heterogeneous buildings at Fairview, or the slowly mellowing new quarters at Point Grey. This editorial is intended chiefly as a form of greeting to those ?roups of grads who hold reunions in many corners of the earth, rom Toronto, Montreal, and other Canadian centers to the students at Paris and other points east and west. From time to time echoes of the enthusiasm of these reunions reach Vancouver, and it is in answer to these echoes that we publish this Ubysseygrad early, in time to extend greetings, good-will and good wishes to those graduates who cannot attend the annual Homecoming at the old University. BERT SMITH, President, Alumni Association. STUDENT PLAYS TO BE STAGED Alumni Yearbook Needs Support of Grads Klahowyah Tillicuml What do you think of Alumni publications? Are you satisfied with past performances? What is your opinion regarding the advisability of having an Alumni Year Book? The Editorial Board would like to attempt such a publication for this year. The book would be pre-eminently a record of achievement. It would chronicle appointments of graduates, research accompliahed and in progress, advancement ir. profession, news of graduates doing interesting work at home and abroadjthese in addition to the customary news regarding the altar and the cradle. And due tribute would be paid to the memory of those whose lives are finished. In different universities of this continent and of Europe are groups of graduates with the common bond of love for our Alma Mater. The Editorial Board hopes to publish a letter from each group as well as letters from grads in far corners of the earth who can talk to their former classmates only on paper. In returning to your Alma Mater, hiiven't you been amazed by the changes? The proposed Year Book will endeavor to keep Alumni abreast of university progress. You will want to hear about the Faculty and Staff: new appointments, present positions held by former members of Faculty, research, books published. You will be glad to know what honors nave been conferred on your former instructors. Perhaps you took part in the historic pilgrimage to Point Grey and are far from the cairn you helped build. Wouldn't you like to see tho Point now? The Year Book will tell you of buildings erected, of donations to the university of a scientific, a literary or an artistic nature Do you remember the society you helped to establish and how you worked on the constitution? Wouldn't you like to hear how it is progressing ,a_ well as what the undergrads are doing in sports, in debating, in the Players' Cluh or the Musical Society? A Year Book would tell you. So far this letter has concerned the hopes of the Editorial Board. The Board wants to publish a book that will interest the Alumni near and far, from the engineer in the tropics to the young housewife in the home, No board could perform this task alone. The board needs your help. This you can give in two ways. First, you can send information. What have you been doing? What news have you of other grads ? What do you know would interest your former classmates ? Send it all to the Editor-in-Chief, Miss Isobel Harvey, 4212 Cypress St. Thero is a second way in which you can help. That is by paying your Alumni fee. (You have been expecting this, haven't you?) To publish the Year Book will cost between two and three hundred dollars. Don't you honestly think it would be worth more than the membership dollar to have such a record as we have outlined? Of course, if you wanted to pay a life membership fee of ten dollars, that would be all right, too. So send in your news and pay your fees and make it possible for the Alumni to have a record of the doings of old friends, a reminder of the happy days we all spent together and an up to date knowledge of how present students are maintaining the old tradition we founded. We wish you the best of link wherever you are, and hope to hear from you. The Editorial Board. P.S. The treasurer is William Thompson, Arts '28. He can be reached at his business address, Gillespie, Hart and Co., or at his home address, 1946 11th Avenue West. Three of the four Christmas plays to be produced by the Players' Club thl* year are of student origin. This innovation was brought about by the unusually high standard of the plays entered for the Players' Club prise. The student plays are, "Fog," the prise play by Sydney Risk j "Finesse," by Byron Edwards] and "Trees" by Sallie Carter. Of the three, 'Finesse' ls a farce*, "Fog" Is a tragedy, and "Trees" a drama. The fourth play Is a revival of a 1920 success, "The Florist's Shop," by Winifred Hark- ridge. Although the parts have not yet been definitely assigned, the work of production Is well under way. In charge of the direction of "Trees" is Prof. Lloyd, assisted by Alfred A. Evans: "Fog" is being directed by Mrs F. Q. C. Wood: "Finesse" by Dr. F. C. Walker, and "The Florist's Shop" by Mrs. Jack McDougall, assisted by Sydney Risk. "The Florist's Shop" made the reputation of Mrs. McDougall, who was formerly Muriel Evans. As usual, the graduates are to be invited to the Players' Club Christmas Performance. Nights for the production are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 20, 21 and 22. The curtain rises at 8.80, overture beginning at 8.2B. The first night is Student Night; Friday is Quest Night and Saturday is divided between undergraduates and guests. Alumni can secure their invitations by writing to Miss Alice Morrow, secretary of the Plavers' Club, before November 10, anu .nclosing their name, address and a stamp. Tf there is any preference for the night of attending the plays, the writer should indicate which night he prefers. If possible his invitation will be arranged for that night, otherwise he will receive his invitation for whichever night is available. It is therefore advisable to send appications early. One invitation will be sent to each applicant, if single; if married, two may be sent. FACULTY TO ADDRESS ANNUAL GRAD MEETING Speeches from President L. S. Kllnk, Dean Buchanan, Dean Brock, Dean Clement, Dean Bollert. and Dr. Q. G. Sedgwick will be the leading feature of this year's Alumni Association luncheon. It will be held on November 8, in the Altec Room of the Hotel Georgia, and la billed for 12.30 in order to give time for attendance at the Canadian Rugby game In the afternoon. Arrangements for this luncheon are in the hands of the Alumni Association Executive, tho general convenor being Miss Doris McKay, Arts '26, and the hostess Mrs. Angus, vice- president of the Association. The purpose of the luncheon is to afford opportunities for reunion between garduates and between them and the faculty. Special attention is thus being paid by the committee to issuing special Invitations to members of the staff irrespective of their college. To facilitate ticket distribution among the Alumni and faculty at Point Grey, tickets are being distributed from Miss Abernethy's office, in the Administration Building. For the benefit of down-town Alumni tickets may also be obtained from the Georgia Pharmacy or directly from Miss Doris McKay, Fair. 1224 X. $1.00 will secure admission. As only a limited number are being Bold, it is advisable to apply for tickets early. Invited guests include Chancellor and Mrs. R. E. McKechnie, President and Mrs. L. S. Klink, Dean and Mrs. Buchanan, Dean and Mrs. Brock, Dean and Mrs. Clement, Dr. G. G. Sedgwick, and Don Hutchison, president A. M. S. Rehearsing Commences For Homecoming Night DATE REQUIRED FOR KARDEX LIST We reprint an article from the Ubysseygrad of November 6, 1929. The reminder contained in this ia especially for the benefit of the graduates of '30. "The Kardex system of filing has been installed in the U.B.C. register's office for the list of names of members of Convocation. This visible index method gives all available information at a glance, Including name of graduate, addresr, year of graduation, faculty and occupation, "The scheme is of real service only when the graduates contribute all necessary information. The cards have one especially Interesting little corner for "location," the color of the corner to vary according to whether tho graduate is living In Vancouver, other parts of B.C., United States, Great Britain or ^ther countries. I "The file will be of particular service to the Alumni Association as a mailing list and as a basis for statistical reports on the activities of graduates "The value of the system depends entirely upon its completeness and j accuracy. Every graduate Is ex- I pected to forward news of his activi- : ties, ' "Changes in address should be reported at once." Arrangements for the annual cek1- bration of the Homecoming of the grads are now in progress in both graduate and undergraduate circles. The week-end of November 7, 8, 9, 10, has been set aside for the usual routine of reunion activities. On Friday night Theitre Night will be staged on the boaids of the University Auditorium. Tt will consist of skits presented hy the various clubs and years for the entertainment of the Alumni. Although very little de- | linitive information can yet he ob- I tained, the Players' Club skit and the ! Thoth Ballet are rumoured to be well under way. Thia year's Thoth presentation is entitled "The Burning of Troy." The entertainment on Saturday | will begin with a luncheon for the Alumni and Faculty arranged by the Alumni Association, to be held at the Hotel Georgia. The luncheon is billed early so that there will be time for those attending to adjourn to the Canadian rugby game that will take place later in the afternoon. At night a large attendance is expected at the Men's and Women's Basketball games tbat will be played in the University Gymnasium, beginning at 8.00 o'clock. The games will be followed by an informal basketball dance. It is hoped that the Sunday evening service for Homecoming can be arranged to take place at St. Mark's Church, where it has been well-attended on previous occasions. Two rugby games feature Monday afternoon's entertainment. The Canadian match will be played at the Athletic Park, the English game will he fought at the familiar oval at Brockton Point. Following the games a tea-dance will he held at the Stanley Park pavilion. Arts '.'I'I is holding a tea dance after the game at the Peter Pan hall- room. Reduced Rates Offered For College Rag As a special offer to the homecoming grads, the Publications Board is offering a low subscription rate to {raduates for the rest of the year's Ubysseys. The rate for the year has formerly been 83.00, which included forty issues. The rate for the rest of the year is now reduced to $1.60.

HASTINGS and HOMER Ittanp Supplement 1SSII.I) WHKNKVKH THK HOOZK VISITS THK UNIVKHSITY Ktterorial Satisfaction fitto Voofetf Several new ideas are introduced in this, the first Litany Supplement of the session. A two-fold policy has been declared—that pants will be pressed both ways this year. How well this will succeed is yet to be estimated but we have behind us the backing of the sartorial student body, or what is more likely the backing of a pulr of trousers. To go from the above sublime to the coming ridiculous we seriously mean to appeal to the aesthetic emotions of all undergraduates and state that this supplement Is one of high Ideals and alms which will inculcate in them the roseate feelings felt by a goom as it wends it way about its delicate art. Another innovation is the introduction of "outside people" such as those who dig ditches, build sky-scrapers (an elevating subject), and drive Fords. Well-known professionals in hoboing and housepainting have been asked to tell us something of their fonderings in such things. We don't now If any articles of theirs appears in thia issue and if there aren't any— well it's all for the best mother so start dancing with tears in your eyes. Prizes have been offered for outstanding work and also for work sitting down. The awards are mentioned on page 2—-read the editorials and receive your everlasting rewards. (Continued on Page 26) SPIRIT RAPPING*; With the "Ubysseygrad" making its initial appearance of the season, it appears that Homecoming is in the offing. I would suggest to the undergrade that when the old-timers appear on the campus that they not be treated as an exhibit of freaks, parading to be stared at by Freshmen. Students, by going out of their way a little, could make of the forlorn grads feel that by receiving a B.A. they have not been hopelessly ostracized forever. * » * WHAT A JOURNALIST! Mr. Brown, the senior editor for the j other issue, evinces annoyance at some j remarks written in that indescribably disjointed form usual to the Litany Coroner. I am afraid that \fr. Brown has peculiar ideas about journalism when he describes a picture of an almost illegible and unimportant letter as "the biggest scoop in many years." But apart from that, really, being a senior, he should know by this time that, when defending himself against what he considers an attack, it is just a little feeble to pull a sob story about the hard times he had j in producing a paper which had so | many mistakes it excited comment To which has been awarded the prise of something or other, you tell um. for the best hit of guess-work submitted to by an undergraduate. The title has absolutely, we assure you. nothing tn do with the story. Curiosity is a very generalised human trait, It is possessed in some degree by everyone but mostly by Profs, and Deans with attendance lists. But much to the reader's sur- Crise this is not a story on curiosity ut on satisfaction for satisfaction Is much more enjoyable both at meals and debts than mere curiosity. Take the case of William G. Bum- ford, no it's not the kind of case you're thinking of, but take the case anyhow. If you ure a member of the vaudeville fraternity, it means you're ham of one degree or another, but if you're a member you will remember William 0. Wumford. A quiet, unassuming man was Willie, oh what a man waa he, a frat man was born on Hallowe'en morn when Willie was sent down to me. There we go, away from the story again and breaking into song. Well since this story is about a song and dance man it doesn't matter much. Well, Willie was night-watehman at a wurtzel factory and desired oh so much to leave off watching the wurts- les and go on the stage. He had a fair voice but wurtzels were not a very appreciative audience so the story goes. Came the dawn and Willie left the factory to go on the stage. He packed I up his pipe and the other pair socks I and left for New Yawk, the mecca of ! all musically-minded men. Willie in- ! tended to make the world song and i dance conscious, such is ambition ; dearly beloved readers. 1 Now comes the sound of galloping horse-hooves and rescue draws nearer ! and nearer. We'll be saved, beloved, 1 saved before those redskins massaker I us, heaven be praised,—hell—we're ' in the wrong manuscript. i Now that we've come back to Willie, he's on the stage. (It's about time something happened in this story I don't know how to finish it hut the show must go on—up with the curtain). So far we've got the | curtain up but where is Willie?—Yes, comes the echo, where is Willie? Weli it's a long sad story folks and if you don't mind us brushing away the tears you'll be told. The whole thing centres around a little black box. Willie's in that black box, folks, killed by a flying ball from a miniature golf course built at the stage entrance for actors to while away their time. Ah, it was noble cleath--golf balls to the left of him, golf balls to the right of him, thundered our Willie as he insisted on giving his act willy nilly beneath a barrage of balls, Then he was struck—he's up, he's down, he's away, he's down and done for, sums up the tale of Willie the Wurtzel Watcher and his ambitions. "The Annual"—by 8.R.O. — The author of this book is of foreign nationality being half Irish and half Nelson but hides the fact carefully by writing in a fluent Lithuanian style. The subject matter of this book Is very patchy and most of the illustrations are very poor but aside from all that it is good book. The scene of the plot is laid and handled with care in the northern wilderness of Point Grey where the undergraduate roams at large and the eerie sounds of professors baying the moon are heard at night. It is here in this dangerous frontier land that the student, the hero nf the novel, spends upwards of four years having thrilling hand to hand encounters with wild Maths and Essays. He seeks and woos and finally wins the hand of the beautiful heroine Admitta Taye. "The Ubyssey"—-by R. G. — The author of this given to verbiose discussions on world-wide matters like the C.O.T.C, the cafeteria and student lethargy. The language becomes almost editorial in spots and sort of spotty in some more spots. The scene in which the protesting sport editor is requested by the tyrannous overlord to go and darken the fair pages of his journal no more with badly used ink is most touching. Two other characters enter the novel in an alternate manner and battle over issues. A chanter entitled "Muck-a muck" is the only lively and worthwhile part of the book. "The Handbook,"—by D. B. in collaboration with C. L.—an informative book, a trifle dry In places but interesting when read to Alma Mater audiences. The theme of this novel is not clearly put but * the critic gathers that it is a treatise on the foibles of clubs and organisations that bother the student life of U.B.C, a small college situated somewhere in Canada. t£otoe00 ta tit Buafe She is a goddess in the purple dusk.

From off his dish he shouts at you and wont be overlooked, He lets you know he's with you, whether he's raw or cooked. "Oh little comrade, courage now, for- get your darkling fear.

THE UBYSSEY October 28, 1930 Racqueieers Rally To Revive Game The annual fall tennis tournament, which is being staged at present after a lapse of two or three years, has made considerable progress, especially in the singles events. The doubles events have seen very litte play as yet, but as the entries are relatively few, there shoud be no difficulty in completing the matches. In the ladies' singles, the feature is the decisive victory of Betty Halley, unplaced In the draw, over Ruth Whitbeck, one of the seeded players. Gladys Munton and Frances Tre- mayne have both advanced to the second round without trouble; and Susie Milne ts the first to enter the the third round, by virtue of a 5-0, 6-2 triumph over Vera Peters. Phyllis White, one of the favorites, has not yet swung Into action. In the men's events all the seeded players have come through safely, ana should make their places in the quarter finals without difficulty, Shiels and Cherrlngton have gained the third round, while Dunford and Yat- skin still have second round matches to play. R. C. Price has fought his way through to the fourth round, and Is the first to gain one of the Quarterfinal brackets. Here he will meet the winner of the third round, Shlels- B. Goole match. E. Jenkins will light it out with Bardsley or Gamp- bell for another quarter-final bracket. D. Nlcol meets his running mate, Lando, in another third round encounter, and should come out on top, R. Knight and J. M. Bardsley contest the last of the quarter-final positions, apart from those doped out for the seeded stars WOMEN'S HOCKEY TAKES TRIMMING The Varsity and U. B. C. Women's Grass Hockey teams both went down to defeat on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Park. Varsity, playing South Van Ex-High held them down to one goal in the first half, but dropped four in the second canto. 'Despite Marg. Moffat's excellent play at centre half, and Beth Pollock's saves in goal the Varsity team was snowed under 6-0. North Van. rushed the U.B.C. goal C. had a hard time to get their only goal, but scored in the last few minutes from Bea Webb's shot. North Van. Ex-High, playing U. Ii. in tbe opening period but were successfully held off and Jean Knight at centre half cleared the bull In good style, The game was the fastest of the season but the forwards could not score due to faulty passing. The playing of Jean Knight at centre half was especially good as also was thut of Murg Harris in goal. MarJ McKay at full buck gnve a fine line performance : GRASS HOCKEYISTS LOSE HEAVILY Breaking through a hard working but out-classed Varsity defence, the league leading Vancouver Grass Hockey team registered a 4-1 win over the college boys in Saturday's league fixture at Connaught Park. The U. B. C. team playing ten men. was also overwhelmed when it suffered a 9-1 defeat at the hands of the Cricketers at Brockton Point. In the Varsity vs. Vancouver game Ward opened the scoring when he flashed between two backs and thanks to superior speed was able to shoot without hindrance. A counter attack by Vancouver, following the bully, brought the ball into the students' circle, but brilliant work by Dicks in goal temporarily saved the net. A terrific shot from Price, however, proved the collegians vulnerability a few minutes later, the same player emphasizing the fact with a second tally before half time. Vancouver scored on a direct rush from the bully off after the cross over and acquired the final score just before the whistle. Several rushes by the students were repulsed before score eould be effected but in the main the Vancouver team had the edge of the play and the frequent attacks on the students' citadel afforded Dicks the opportunity to make many spectacular saves, The team: Dicks; Jakeway, Jackson; Merrltt, Hughes, Semple; Ward, DesRriscy, Sangah, Knight, Stevenson. S. C. M. Program Stars Leaders Burnaby Legion Floors Juniors In the fast and hotly-contested game, Varsity Junior Soccer eleven was soundly defeated to the tune of 5-0, by Burnaby Legion, at Central Park, Saturday. Play in the first half was even and both sides came close to scoring several times, H. Smith and J. Smith both missing goals by a narrow margin. Frattinger, playing his flrst game between the posts for Varsity, was the star of the play in the flrat half, and it was only his tactics that kept the opposing forwards from tallying Broadhurst led the forwards and started some nice plays, but he was weakly supported by his inside man, Cunningham, wbo was decidedly not up to standard. L. Todd and J. Smith on the wings, however, worked well; and only ill-luck prevented them from sagging the net, After the cross-over Varsity pressed but play quickly changed and after a few minutes Burnaby's pivot man crashed in a shot from close range, Frattinger having no chance to save. From then on Varsity was continually pressed and despite the efforts of Legge, Dickson and Roper, who were the pick of the defense. Burnaby managed to notch four more goals, all from close range. Play on the college forward line was featured by lone sallies by the wings and H. Smith, but all came to nothing due to lack of combination. The whole Varsity team worked hard and hardly deserved such a heavy adverse score. The team — Frattinger; Roper; Grant; White; Legge;G Dickson; J. Smith; Cunningham; Broadhurst; H. Smith; L. Todd.

U.B.C. RETAINS LEAD IN MILLER CUP SERIES (continued from page 1) Cleveland made several spectacular plays, picking the ball off the ground at top speed and kicking it clear. Nixon at breakaway spoiled several Ex-Tech runs by quick work. Estabrook tore a tendon in his leg but continued after a rest. The East-enders crashed through for their first try after about ten minutes of play. The major points were not added, The second Ex-Tech try came in quick succession. A passing movement by the Green and Gold drew the Varsity defense to one side and a reverse movement by the attacking threes resulted in a try which was converted. The score stood 12-8 in favor of Varsity. The University squad rallied and kept Ex-Tech on the defensive for about ten minutes. Then Phil Barratt completed the Blue and Gold scoring by a penalty goal from far out. Ex-Tech came right back on the kick off and scored auotber try in rapid order. The kick for the additional two points hit the post. Play was in mid field when the final whistle sounded. Varsity: Cleveland, Phil Barratt, Estabrook, Mercer, Caul, Ellis, B.
