Poltica] interpretation Is bette: than judicial interpretation of con sttutlonal problems is the firm be lef of a leading Australian jurist. P. D. Phillips, QC, of Melbourne Australia told UBC law student.- Thursday that in his opinion stat utes should be interpreted literally by the courts. It this Interpretation did not suit the legislators, amend ments to tbe statutes could then be made to recite what legislation was artually intended. One of Australia's leading authorities on constitutional law in all its aspents, Mr. Philips spends considerable time In London In relation to these matters. Mr. Phillips said Australian courts were less prone to Interfere with legislation by judicial interpre-, tation than" were courts in other Comuonweulth conntres. He said Australian courts interpret literally, as far as is possible, the acts of the federal and state legislatures.

The lawyer —as any law student will tell you on the least provocation—Is traditionally a leader ln his community. The very nature of the institution he serves, the law, makes leadership with co-extensive leadership, Inevitable. UNDER LAW Society, be it good or otherwise, can only exist under law, and the nature of the society Is created by it, and itself creates law. Law Is the central institution, Based on the necessity of govern enlng relations between man and* man, and the institutions he has created. CLASHING THEORIES It is a vast concept, defying definition, and extending beyond the mere rules of law which ln part make it up. It is delicate and interwoven, so much so, that tampering or adding may have odd results; and its maintenance and shaping are jobs for the experts, conscious of 'the needs of their day, -61 ihe need of stability, and of the danger of losing in the intricate rules and clashing theories—the common sense that originally created common law. It is for this task that the law students prepare themselves.

Maclntyre, professor of Law, UBC, in the following article. Dr. Maclntyre's words of wisdom are well worth reading, not by law students only, but by university students everywhere.) Last October was the time to start, but miracles can be accomplished by starting now 1. Attend all classes. Even the most hopeless instructor probably knows more about the subject than you do, and what he says will give you insights which will assist you in your search for knowledge. 2. For every hour you are in class each day, spend that day as soon after the class as possible, from one-half hour to one hour making certain not only that you understand ^everything that was discussed in class but also that you have it in condensed form neatly organized in a note book. 3. Sta/l your examination review now. Because this is February, and not October, and I am assuming that you have not been doing it for one hour all year; and will therefore need at least two hours a day from now on, more beginning next month. Try two hours. If your preparation for your daily classes gives you more free time add to the two hours now. The minimum is two. It is better to do the minimum than to be over-ambitious, try more and end by giving the review system up because you undertook more than you could carry. Do your review whether you have littie to prepaiv assignments or no'.. You will find time lo prepare assignments because there is oilier pressure on you for thai. You will, because you have less lime, do them more quickly. Here you have to drive ynursell at first. .This is the most important step in the program. Start your review with any one of your courses. Try to bring it up to date in a week or less. Then tackle another course until you have done each of them. Then start off again at the beginning of the first course. You will be able to cover the ground already reviewed quickly and if you have been doitr^ (2) properly it will not take long to review that portion of each course which has accumu- Plugged Nickle This campus abounds in professionals. This is known as a "bait-line" and now that you're hooked, stick with rue while I tell you what I have on my fevered brain . It's about something thai keeps coming up -like a bad lunch in the caf. Now, I don't suppose lint this campus is very much different from any other in that a lew people with leadership (that, naughty word Mr. Loosinore deplores) and incentive tend to become almost professionally interested in some particular campus activity. Today I direel my sighls al Ihe Professional Kyi-hanger.

Despite the growing suspicion lhal perhaps the bes| way to win • li'ieiids lor Canada is to keep Canadian stu- dents al home ( 'Familiarity breeds conlenipt" ■iiid all lhal sort ol thing) the principle of exchange scholarships is excellent.

On your second or third review and thereafter get together a group of from two to six fellow-students and review with them. On the third review you should cover a whole course in one or two long sessions. Put one of your group in charge each day. He should have made a special effort to have the material to be covered that session in hand, and he must be charged with the rdspon-sibility of keeping your minds on what you meant to do. 5. Keep the hours (average one and a half a day) you use for first digesting and driving home what you learn each day and the two hours you spend in systematic review sacred above all else. Any time you have left use for preparation for class, outside reading or other conventional forms of study. You will find that with your time budgeted in this manner you will make more efficient use of all of it. Continue your reviews until you have written off the subjects one by one. (i. Beginning March 1, and at least once a week thereafter, take an examination (regular examination time, say 3 hours, no more, no less) in one of your courses. In most courses recent papers are procurable. Have your answers graded by your group. This will give you the habit of answering the questions asked on the examination.: It will give vou a certain facility of expression and last but not least it will show you the holes in your knowledge which you need to patch. If you follow this program you will almost certainly improve your standing considerably II you lack the desire to follow the whole program follow some parts of it. Courses approached this way become as much fun as bridge or any other entertainment and in April (which is getting very close) you will be much less miserable than you would be if you fail to review systematically from now on. On behalf of the Faculty of Law and all other faculties on the campus, I wish each of you success this spring. —DR. W. M.

"Your name and faculty, please," sighs the harassed chairman. And as the tag "first year law " is spoken a groan rises from the meeting. Another law student is getting into the act. At committee meetings, running for office, promoting political discussion—law students are always recognized as being in the forefront. "What do you expect," declares the uninformed, "after all, they've got to make a name for themselves." But little does the unenlightened realize what is going on. For in law the student learns a method of arriving at solutions to problems different to that Which is taught in the other parts of the campus. Two Sides To Every Qestion' The lawyer's method is by discussion and debate. The "two sides to every question" adage becomes a principle. Actually the adversary method of arriving at answers is based upon the first principles of democracy and the scientific method. Truth is only relative. What we accept today is not what we accepted 100 years ago, or even 10 years ago. Truth is a living and dynamic concept and its growth depends for the most part on peopjo Law Just A Little Beh Hence when the law student stands up and demands more details and discussion he is not hindering progress but aiding it. But in the same breath in which he accuses the lawyer of criticizing his cherished ideas, the critic accuses him of being reactionary, of stifling progress. The law of the land is not an erratic thing, jumping from one extreme to another, but is slowly evolving just a little behind the times. like lawyers who refuse to accept everything on its face value. In the physical world progress occurs by refusal to accept principles as the last word. Euclid was replaced by Newton, Newton by Einstein. In the field of human relations criticism of presently accepted social principles is on the only way to social progress. Here the "laissez- faire" of Adam Smith has been replaced by controlled democracy. ind The lawyer learns io recognize progress, but he also learns not to rush into the unknown. He learns that he who hesitates is not always lost. To refuse to listen to or accept criticism is fascism; to rush headling on untried tracks is anarchy; #but to doubt and question, to criticize/to protect the rights of individuals and groups is democracy. This is what the student of the law learns. function, or they function depends on tne in dividual.

BAR ASSOCIATION j On September 4, 1951, Prime Allniter Louis St. Laurent, attend-; ing the annual Bur Association i convention in Vancouver, oflicl i ally opened the Law Building.; j Some 4u students assisted in ' weh onilng the hundreds of mem- i hers of the bench and bar from all parts of Canada, and other , common law countries and gni led the guests around the campus, i On the first day o'' th# ?ull term, the second and third year students welcomed • the Incoming Unit year class and showed them ; around the Law Library. This U an idea initiated this year, on the suggestion of a senior student. In ' this was tbe idea that the Law school functions not as tliree sepa ; rate classes, but as a unit. STUDENTS ENDORSE At the fir.t LI'S general meeting the students endorsed the policy of more active student participation in I'BC nlfalrs. more social gatherings and in particular (Continued from Page 1) Ihe policy of forming committees from general membership to study and handle student problems. '• This is the nature of the expeii- meiit undertaken: the drawing together of the whole school, the feeding to the central executive the will of the members, rather, than the feeding of the decisions by the executive back to a membership willing, out of lethargy, to accept those decisions. The executive was to restrict Itself to details of administration and to details affecting administration. Tiie success of the i xperiment I depended on two things; firstly, nnd most important fnith of the whole in the Individual member, for no one works well if someone distrust his ability; secondly, the vesponoe of ihe individual to the faith placed in him. It is not possible accurately to estimate the extent of the stjccmb achieved at this time; it U possible to say the experiment" iftu been a success. The tremendously improved effort of the school In the last blood drive gave an earl/ ini'lcatioii or a new spirit in the school.

The stuilen: Rugged Schedule Jack Pomfret and his Thunderbirds are beginning to think the Kvergreen Conference schedule maker, whoever he is, was bitten by a large dog or a small mother- in-law while he was a child. An example of why the Bird* feel this way Is this weekend's Itinerary for the l'HC team. Our Birds, winless in five conference games, left Thursday for Spokane where they take on Whitworth Pirates, a nondescript group of glund mon- strocities tonight. CLAMBAKE Saturday night Pomfret takes his boys over to Cheney, "Washington for a clambake with Eastern Washington Savages who are currently thumbing their noses at the re3t of the Evergreen circuit from their position on top of the heap. SCHOOL SPIRIT? Itoad games are tough enough on l'HC with the terrific school spirit of other schools staring them in tiie face, but road games against :lu- two totighcxt squads In the Conference are worse than I'.F. periods i' S::',u Monday morning. . GOOD GAME Birds played one of their best games of the season ill their open- inn game with Whltworth, nearly upsetting the 1952 Evergreen champs 55-52. Although the tight T'HC defence stopped bini last trip, slippery Jim Dolipt-ty will be the man to watch in tonight's game. Doherty topped Bob lloubregs and Johnny O'Brien , when be set a new Northwest ecor- [ ing record with 5n points against i St. Martins last Saturday. SKI SCHOOL RATES DOWN FOR STUDENTS UBC students have been offered skiing Instruction at reduced ratee by the Mt. Seymour Ski School. • Gerhart Frank, head Instructor of the school, announced that students may take the hour and a half lessons for 75 cents per lesson. Frank and his four Instructors Instruct prospective skiers In the Arlberg technique Saturdays, Sundays and holidays at 11 a.m., 1 and 3 p.m. There are classes for beginners, as well as Intermediate and advanced skiers. ••■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■^^"^■^■■■■■•, Swimming Team To Hold Confab By STAN VANDERVOOT The UBC swim team leaves for the second meet of the conference series today at noon. Arriving ln Belllnghani for the meet against Western Washington College of Education will be a minimum of nine swimmers (I hope) aided by coach Doug Whittle; throe divers and mnnager. PASSPORT TROUBLE Some difficulty has arisen concerning crossing the border for Karas, Constantanedes, Optland and Marik because of validity of passports now mixed u>n by the McCarren Act. These boys are from Europe nnd their passports must come from Ottawa. If Marlk Is unable ti travel with the team there Isn't much hope to beat the WWCE boys. in last Saturday's game against the Western Washington Vikings Jerry Marlk constituted 15 of the 50 winning points- when he won the 220-yard, 100-yard and 440-yard' freestyle events. SHARP P0INT8 Morgan Jamleson, Peter Lusztig, and Milt Sky contributed five points for a first in the :)00-ynrd medley relay. Hugh Optland. Sky. Jamleson pulled together to add another seven points in the 400- yard freestyle relay. Jim Mclntyre and Jim Caulfield placed second and third In the 150-yard individual medley to give four points more. Other events with swimmers including Roberts, Smythe, and Karas boosted our I total points for a 50 to 34 win i over Western Washington. I Ken Doolan placed first ln the; diving competition with 249.8 j i points followed by Bill Wilson with [ 182 points. The divers sent up i with the Vikings took third and j fourth place. By BRIAN WHARF Varsity Thunderbirds enter the third and perhaps final round of their defence of the McKechnie Cup tomorrow afternoon with the odds stacked heavily against them. Needing a win to remain in con ' Varsity Soccer Squalds Play Crucial Tilts Over Weekend Soccer will be having a busy weekend with the first team playing Dominions at South Memorial and the second team South Hill of the first division at West Memorial, both games 2 p.m. Sunday. 1 tention for the cup they have won for the past two seasons Hlrrt-t have no less than six regulars on the Injured lists. They are two points behind and have played on-1 game less than the pace setting Vancouver Iteps. SUDDEN DEATH Defeat for the llirds tomorrow will, therefore, give "the Cup to Iteps while u win will necessitate a sudden death playoff. CRIMSON TIDE Opposition in this crucial tilt is the strong Victoria Crimson Tide squad who could give Birds a very tough battle. Tide are, out of the tunning but will show no mercy to Birds who last year massacred them In a playoff for the sume cup. NOT DISMAYED Coach Albert Luithwalte was, however, In no way dismayed by the seemingly overwhelming odds against his team. "It will be a tough battle," commented Laith- waite, "but I think we cun win." CLYNE BACK Jn an attempt to stop the fast- breaking Tide three line and es< pechSUy ex Scottish International Dave MacKenzie, Lalthwalte will play the hard tackling Stu Clyne at fullback In place of Donny, S pence. SORE WRIST The Birds three line remains Intact, the only doubtful starter be-1 ing Ross Wright who has a chipped wrist bone. Mike Perrle of tiie Braves will take over if Wright is unable to play. Wingers John Newton and (leo. Pull and left centre (Jerry Main will all be In their usual positions. With starry Bill Whyte sidelined by a tonsilltis operation and captain Danny Oliver down with flu two members of the Braves wi play in tin half positions. Jack Scott, who was kept out of regular Bird lineup only by the superior tackling ability of Oliver and (lei- ly rainier who play scrum and fly half respectively. A MYSTERY The scrum positions, however, are somewhat ot a mystery. Frank (lower, who will be out of the lineup for the remainder of the season with torn ankle ligaments will definitely be .missing and Charlie Bruniwell and Jim Ma - N'icol are doubtful starters. BRAVES MOVE UP l-'or replacements Coach Luithwalte will draw from Bill Ksson, Bob Bartlett and Mike Bell, all forwards for the Braves. still one Piece Miraculously enough first string forwards Bill Mullholland, Derek Vallls, Bob Morford. Bill Bice and piece after > onipletion of over bait piec palter completion of over hall of season's play. Biggest problem of the Birds tomorrow afternoon will bo to throttle hack a tliree line that rival: there own In scoring ability, Tide scrum is reputed to be light. Varsity's hefty pack, even wilh Bruniwell, .(lower and MacNico' missing sho.ild have little trouble. EAlY MEAT On paper and on past form tlin Tide should be easy meut for Birds. They heat North Shore Heps as did Birds and Vancouver Reps but were humiliated • by the tatter team.
