Plan Largest Homecoming In History Call Issued For Old Graduates To Visit Campus October 30 • ALUMNAE and undergraduate officials are sending out a call to all grads within easy distance of Vancouver to return to the campus Saturday, October 30, to recall old memories at the Homecoming ceremonies. In the afternoon the traditional —————————— Mus Soc Formal Oct, 21 English rugby game between Varsity and a visiting team will be played In the UBC stadium. Plans have been laid so that the members of the Saturday COTC parade will have time to attend the entire game. BIG BLOCK Earlier in the day a Big Block Luncheon will be held for all grads who belonged to the organization when at Varsity. Following the rugby game the grads will have a chance to wander over the campus and renew old friendships with UBC landmarks. The entire campus will be (brown open to the visitors so they will have a good opportunity to walk over the ground they once trod so lightly. Approximately at 8 p.m. in the auditorium the Radio Society, Players Club, Musical Society, Munro Pre-Med organizations will combine then* talents to present a fun-filled, crazy potlatch. No one knows the exact form ot entertainment that will be produced but it is understood it will be just as wacky and funny as last year's. The potlatch will end at approximately 0:30. DANCING IN BROCK In the evening a special homecoming dance will be held in the Brock to the music of Don Williamson's orchestra. Every member of the Alumnae who can possibly attend the affairs on October 30 are invited to come. No Harvest F^r McGill Says James • UNIVERSITY of McGill authorities have decided not to send students to Maine this year to help with harvesting because it would "seriously disorganize important studies," Pres. F. C. James said Friday. The request for help to gather In a heavy potato crop in Maine threatened by a labor shortage came through the U.S. legation in Ottawa T%e Universities of Quebec were asked to supply 800 senior students to go to the state of Maine for two weeks. • THE Musical Society will hold their big social event of the year, the annual Fall Formal, on Thursday, October 21 in Brock HaU from 9-1. To relieve the male shortage, an invitation has been extended to the members of the Canadian Army Course No. 2 attending UBC. Couples will be drawn. In the first part of the evening, Social Convenor Elinor Haggart has planned a seven-dance program to mix up the crowd. Then, after an Intermission the men will be turned loose. Refreshments will be the Indispensable "coke and do-nuts", for which, it is rumoured, the Mussoecers will have to dash over to the gym kitchen because of the ban against using the Brock dining room. Music for the dance will be supplied by the Brock record collection. Patrons of the affair will be; Dean and Mrs. D. Buchanan, Dr. and Mrs. W. L. McDonald, Mr. and Mrs. C. Haydn Williams, Dr. D. Mawdsley, Professor Walter Gage, Mr. Ira Dilworth, Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Young, Dr. and Mrs. J. E. Kania. Representing the Student Council will be Don Ross, Bob Whyte and Murdo MacKenzie.

Frog Refugees Seen As Meat Shortage Solution By BETTY STACEY • SOME meatless Tuesday when you're lusting for a tasty dish of frogs' legs, wander down to the Botanical gardens, look behind the lily pond, and you'll discover a bull frog pen. students try to see how much energy Is used when lt swallows. If you do go down, drop in at the Armories on the way and borrow a gas mask—then you can get closer and observe the different stages of development. HOPELESS These frogs spend two years in the tadpole stage. The extent of their life after that depends on how successful they are at dodging the biologist. Some of them are quite big, but they look pretty sad and hopeless. Incidently, take off the gas mask, but put it on again quickly—that stench you were aware of was put- rifying fish. This attracts files which serve as a first course for the frogs—dessert is usually In the form of some aquatic flora. Some afternoon you fellows should get the girl friend intent upon seeing the frogs—it's a pretty romantic place down there. What could be sweeter than a rendezvous around a frog pond, the air heavy with perfume, and a serenade in throaty emotional tones?.... Then, if you're adept at picking locks and immune to the stench of disintegrating fish, your gastronomic desire can be satisfied. IMPORTED A few years ago an enterprising farmer in Burnaby decided to enrich the diet of Ihe community with the delicacy, so he imported some bull frogs. Apparently he didn't house them satisfactorily, or else they decided to return South; anyhow they escaped and distributed themselves throughout the locality. The University, being resourceful, sent a detail of Science men over to nab a few for the Biology Lab and ever since they (the frogs) have been kept intact in a wire cage. At the start of each term the Bi in students (physiologists) catch a few, and after anaethetlz- ing them by pithing (deadening the nerve chord), they play around with muscles and things. Before they had this local supply, frogs were Imported from Chicago. The mortality was often 75% and a dead frog isn't much good when TfoWvim Vol XXVI VANCOUVER, B.C., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1943 N Mammy's Ready Piranis Play For Varsity Friday Noon • ACCLAIMED throughout Europe and the British Empire as one of the greatest piano and violin ensembles of today, Max and Leila Pirani, parents of Varsity's 15-year-old sophomore, Felix Pirani, are appearing at an LSE pass feature concert this Friday. Pirani, formerly a professor at the Royal Academy of Music In London, is now the Director ot Music at the Banff School of Fine Arts. His wife made her debut in Vienna under the direction ot Bruno Walter and has since toured with many leading symphony orchestras. As a team the Piranis are renowned exponents of the sonata, and have played together at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London, Belfast and Melbourne. Their program on Friday will feature violin solos by Pugnani- Kreisler and Vieuxtemps; piano solos by Rachmaninoff. Madtner, Linko and other modern composers; and the recitative fantasy and finale from Franck's Sonata in A. Pub Meeting Wed, Noon • PUBLICATIONS Board will meet in full-dress session tomorrow at 12; 30 p.m. to discuss the future of Canadian journalism and decide whether coke or orange crush will be served at the Pub Party. All members of the Publications Board who are still alive and Chuck Claridge must attend. Any reporter who can't come to the meeting see the News Manager and maybe you won't be shot. • ALMA MAMMY is putting on her best bib and tucker this week and next as she prepares to welcome graduates of the University at the annual Homecoming Ceremonies to be held October 30. Grads will return to the campus to relive their undergraduate days and tell the tall tales of other years to wide-eyed war-time students. Junior member Dick Bibbs is planning a full program of activities for UBC's 1943 Homecoming. Nova Scotia Prof Urges Co-operative Businesses • CO-OPERATIVE, not state-controlled business is the solution to post-war economic problems, Prof. A. a. MacDonald of the St. Francis Xavier University Extension Dept. told members of the Vancouver Institute at their first meeting this year at UBC Saturday evening. __^ Declaring that social change is inevitable after this war, Prof. MacDonald cited six advantages of co-operative business. "It places in the hands of the people a greater share of the profits of business, increases the public's purchasing power, does away with dishonesty, gives «J there /f business, but I never heard it put asked to write a column for the "Uby- 1°ther reasons- ^ g0 becfu*e *h.ey ™ntA forth Jt" "*1 fT T^ „ »»v„ „iw. * \. i j -ii learn more, yes, they want that knowledge to socialism or state control.

"We as students are enjoying the privileges of studying and carrying on normal lives, while personal sacrifice in the form of direct participation hi the war effort ls demanded of all others. We must justify these privileges." COMBINATION Part of this justification is to so revitalize the University that It will become a dynamic force in the community. The University is a product of Its administration, faculty, and students. What Is desired is a suitable combination of these factors in order to produce that type of University which will adequately fulfill the needs of the community. As Dr. Sedgewick has said, "To my mind the chief aim though not the only one of "higher education" is to give a mature grasp of some important part of human thought and experience. Grasp, in my sense, means not only a thorough survey of a "field" or "subject", but also a sense of its relation to the rest of life and living. If a college course doesn't give It, It is very truly a "dead end"." Tho IRAC will attempt te clarify certain relevant problems by preparing for the Ubyssey a series ot analysis of this University, its administration, and its students. Bruce Yorke . . . The following problems will be dealt with—the function of the University in war-time, the lip service to and non-application of democratic principles in campus affairs, student apathy to anything bul social activity, and the lack of genuine University spirit and tradition. GALLUP POLL Each analysis will be followed by a miniature Gallup Poll in order to classify student opinion. Once student opinion has been crystallized or focused it only remains for means at our disposal, such as the Students' Council, to put the results into effect wherever possible. Must Show Passes At Functions • MORE than 275 people would have attended the first mixer, sponsored by the WAC, if they had only brought their passes. Some students had to be turned away because they neglected to present their passes. The Council regrets this action but the rule is that anyone not having his pan cannot be admitted to a Varsity function. All affairs held on the campus or sponsored by the University are closed functions, that Is, all couples must have one member a UBC student. "The reason for this," stated Bob Whyte, president of the Students' Council, "is that on several occasions in the past incidents have occured where outsiders, who are not under the jurisdiction of the discipline committee, have created trouble and the students themselves have been blamed." SEVERE DISCIPLINE It was also learned that, on Saturday night certain students handed their passes around. "This type of offence is very serious," said Whyte, "the pass system is based on the honesty and integrity of the students. There is no need for students to hand their passes a- round. But if it happens again the people concerned will be severely dealt with by the discipline committee." The Council is aware of the restriction placed on the student and they wish to give the student as much freedom as possible but it is the rule that the primary admittance to a University affair is the student pass. Every effort has been made to distribute passes to the students but the responsibility for getting the pass rests with the student. Passes can be obtained from the AMS office In the Brock. Green Roomers Emote For Fans. Nov. 10 to 12 • TENTATIVE DATES for presentation of the Players' ember 10, 12 and 13. Though the three plays and directors for them have been selected, casts for them are not yet definitely chosen. Rehearsals begin immediately, and stage arrangements are being planned. NAZI TRIAL Maxwell Anderson's "Miracle on the Danube", a contemporary play dealing with the trial of a Nazi official during the occupation of Austria, will give the masculine actors of the club a chance to display their talents, under the capable direction of Miss Dorothy Somerset of this university. "The Tenth Word", with a completely feminine cast directed by Miss Nancy Bruce, Players' Club alumnus of "Candida" fame, contrasts girls' boarding school of Grandmotner's day and ours. FIGHTIN' FEMALES Mexican women guerillas are the chief characters of the third play, "Soldadera", which will be directed by Mrs. N. Caldwell, Players' Club member who is now with the Little Theatre. The first night of presentation will be students' night, the second performance will be for students, faculty, and guests, while on the last, evening, the plays will be given for guests of the club. the Christmas Plays, annual Club, are announced as Nov- 325 Men JoinUATC Ground 15% • SQUADRON LEADER J. A. Harris, commanding officer of the UAT C, announced today that the corps' enlistment now totals 325 men. It is expected however, that 15 percent of this number will be found physically fit for ground crew duties only. Twenty science students are being enlisted for prospective technical appointments in the RCAF. At present medical inspections and issue of clothing are nearly completed while in the meantime the unit is being exercised in elementary drill formations. It is expected that training and lectures in technical Air Force subjects will commence towards the end of October. While the unit is still in the early stages of its training, an inspection by a senior RCAF officer from No. 4 Training Command Headquarters, Calgary, is expected. . . . seeks opinion Telegram received at UBYSSEY office Monday morning: To the UBYSSEY, Vancouver, B.C.

Fleet-Footed Aggie Cows Again Dodge RCAF Plane • THE AGGIE cows, long-time dodgers of the RCAF, went into their adagio act again Friday afternoon when the Air Force repeated its performance of last November and plumped one of its machines in a clump of small trees near the Aggie barns. Silence Cloaks Greeks > As Hectic Rushing Ends • DINNER PARTIES, and the 'good-will-towards-all-men' spirit that the men's Greek Letter Societies have been lavishly spreading around for the last few weeks came to an end yesterday, when the period of silence began. The period will last from 8:30 Monday morning to 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, In this period, complete silence, except for fifteen minutes when the bids are given out, Is to be maintained between the Fraternity and the rushee. Any infraction of this is illegal rushing. The bids were handed out this morning between 8:30 and 1:30 and are to be returned to the office of Dr. J.A. Harris, fourth floor of the Science building, from 8:30 to 9:45 Wednesday morning. As soon as the bids are known, great rejoicing will take place in the Caf. Lusty songs of the Greek Letter Societies will be bellowed out. It is hoped that the auditorium above will be able to hold, weakened as it is by the strain of previous years. Pledge ceremonies will be held soon after bids are out. The sleek, white bovines, who last year frantically dodged a twin-engined Avro Anson, appeared calm and settled when interviewed by The Ubyssey Monday morning. MOO PROTEST After a few moo protests and a swift dart into the barns when the plane hovered over, they got a hold of themselves after the excitement died down and came out to peer at students as they ran to - the crash scene, eye-witnesses reported. Students poured out of lecture rooms, the library and even deserted the Caf in a mad dash to the plane, which was badly damaged. The pilot, FO. Harold Yates of Vancouver, Is in hospital suffering from a fractured arm and other minor ..injuries. ..The ..other ..occupant, an army officer, escaped injury. The aircraft was circling over the university area when the motor suddenly quit. The plane glided down at a fairly slow rate over the cow pasture and crashed on its right wing, NO FIRE The undercarriage was badly smashed and the airscrew was twisted. The plane didn't burn. Two Air Force ambulances, the University Are truck and the UBC cop, Constable A. W. Aylward appeared on the scene a few minutes after the accident. The plane was a Westland Ly- sander, single-engined high wing monoplane used for observation and reconnaissance. Red Cross Mixer Adds $75 to Fund • A SUM of $74.50 was raised when the baptism of the new AMS record collection took place at a mixed held at Brock Hall from 9-1 last Saturday night in aid of the Red Cross. The evening was climaxed with the raffle of a pair of men's socks, value 89 cents, which added six dollars to the coffers. The lucky winner was Bruce Ash, Al Eyre, chairman of the War Aid Council, officiated as MC for the mixer. Page Four- THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, October 19, 1943 Soccer Teams Take Openers 6-1,2-1 Intramural Sport • ONE of the most interesting characters on this campus is Joe Intramural. Little Joe has frequented our pleasant campus for many years. Last year was ono of his best seasons according to the way he and everyone else looks at the matter. Despite ill winds, stormy weather, wet weather and ten inches of snow which nearly stumped him lr> February, Little Joe carried on along with some of his energetic companions and students. games of basketball. Joe was kept during the summer by Kappa Sigma when ever he had a mood for basketball lore. This team of course has headed the league in that department. Next to basketball, Volleyball took most of Little Joe's attention. It was quite a treat to watch Joey during some of his games tossing the little ball back and forth over the net to the greatest glee of all concerned. Yes, Joe had quite a side football this ypar he has a chest on himself like a student coming out of an orchard or a corn patch. Yes, sir, a great year for Touch Football is In store. Joe won't even give a hint who he ia going to give the honours to this year. It seems that that is his particular secret. Of course, the big moment hi Joey's life right now ls the Impending Cross Country race early next month. This is probably the birds that night. Intends to get another bag this season, too. Then he started to tell me about the one he had last night. One of the pleasantest nights that Joey has every year Is usually spent in the Y.M.C.A. Besides that he always gets wet to his full extent. In swimming not even a student can outdo him in enthusiasm. No, sir, he would not miss this night even if he had to have his fun in the lily Pond. Altogether, last ycar was a good year for Joe Intramural. To back up his belief he says that you should have seen the large number of bright and gleaming cups that were handed out a few weeks ago to all the lads who helped him out during the season. As usual, basketball was one of his star sports. Little Joe Intramural spent two and three per lods a week, each and every week, with the boys in the gym at a few good year as far as volleyball was concerned. Expects quite a good year this year, too. As for that, he told us with a very bright gleam In his eye that this year is going to be much better than last year in all sports. When the Volleyball season was over Little Joe announced that he considered himself a full cousin of any Xi Omega. The third full time occupation of Joe Intramural is Touch Football. Because there is not as much out- time when Joe gets to bed about seven, o'clock. He confided that it was getting a little tough to keep up with the gang now that he was not getting younger and the pace was getting a little faster than It used to be. Last year Joe Intramural had one gala night of Badminton. After waiting for several weeks for the snow to go away Little Joe came up to the gym swinging mad. Although it was out of hunting season he literally slaughtered the And then Joe owns a bat and a ball. Every spring he totes these out and starts playing a game of Softball. This is his ideal game. He even gets some pretty girls to come and watch him perform. My, how he can powde» the mush- ball then. Besides thes games he has several other tricks up his sleeve for times when things get dull.

Both Varsity Squads Win Despite Weather • BOTH VARSITY and the newly.formed UBC Soccer teams kicked and slid to good victories last Saturday at Con Jones Park and out here at Varsity. Varsity squeezed a 2 to 1 victory out of Pro-Rec. and the mud in the Eastern playing grounds when Chuck Dowding scored the opening goal after fifteen minutes of play. Five minutes later Bert Rush, brother of Jack, ex-varsity soccer star, tied the score on a hard drive. Bert had been up all night welcoming a stranger into the world. Now he is the father of a bouncing baby boy. Sandy Robertson, that versatile man of athletics, received a pass from Campbell and put the Blue and Gold ahead in the second half, On the campus UBC scored an easy win over East Indians by piling up scores to their lone tally. Oliver was champion of the day by not only scoring two goals but playing wonderful heads-up ball. Robinson scored two tallies for the students, also another counter was made by Sawer and a disputed goal went to Median. It is believed that this goal was scored by the opposition. It took some pluck for the players of both teams to play Saturday. Rain drenched every one and every thing. The men slid on practically every part of their anatomy fromr one end of the field to the other In pursuit of an equally slippery ball. In spite of this, however, good ball was played. Manager* Maury Glover again expressed his belief that he had two play-off teams on the campus. There is nothing in the way of the top of the league seems to be the feelings of both teams. The performance of the newly organized players has brought the greatest pleasure to the managers and coaches. These players are recognized as equally capable players but had failed to play as a unit before coming to the campus. Co-Ed Sports • HELEN Matheson announced last week the line-up for the Grass Hockey Club's first team. Centre forward position has not yet been filled, but with this exception the team appears to be shaping up very well and is expected to give a good showing in the coming league games. The team. Is as follows: Left Wing, Marg Roger; Left Inside, Marg Watts; Right Inside, Babs Greene; Right Wing, Doreen Parks; Left Half, Bea Inch; Centre Half, Irene Pearce; Right Half, Jennie Rodenchuck; Left Full Back, Mac Boothe; Right Full Back, Evelyn Wright. Goal, Helen Matheson. Three of the first team players are freshettes: Marg Watts, Jennie Rodenchuck, and Evelyn Wright and these girls turned in good performances at Wednesday's practise game with Hugh Fraser High. The UBC team took this clash with two goals to the Burnaby team's single point. Says the Father to the prospective son-in-law: "The boy who gets my daughter will certainly get a prize."

H P LUI OO By LUKE MOYLS Chatter * VARSITY'S Intermediate A team swings into action on # Thursday night against last year's Inter A champion Higbies at King Edward Gym at 8:30. Coach Harry Franklin has been organizing the team for the past week, and although the boys are not yet in top condition, they plan to be ready for their first contest and give the Higbie boys a good game. Among the players who have been turning out for this Inter A team are John Olliver, Lawrence Lawson, Jim Bryant, Bill Matheson, Maurice Ingram, Hubert Gabrielse, Jack Climie, A. Bain, Arnold Granius, Harry Kabush, Marty Martin, Bob Weber, Inglis Edwards, and Reg Racine. Tonight, the V and D minor leagues get under way at the King Ed Gym, starting at 7:30. These include the Intermediate B teams and the Intermediate A .teams. Altogether there are eight Inter A entries, and the Inter B's are practically numberless. However, the brand of basketball is amazingly good, in fact, some of the best Inter B teams could give a Senior A team a good game. Meanwhile, the two other Varsity hoop squads are still getting into shape for their opening contests. Tbe Frosh Inter A team practiced last night, and Coach Bruce Yorke worked them hard in the fundamentals: dribbling, passing, long shots, and set-ups. The Senior A Thunderbirds also had a good practice last night. Coach M. L. Van Vliet is gradually whipping the players into condition. Several members are already in shape. It looks as if Sandy Robertson will again be Varsity's scoring threat. Art Stilwell and Ron Weber are the smooth ball- handlers. Don Woodhouse and Gordie Sykes, the key-men, will help in running up Varsity's score. Veterans Art Johnson and Harry Franklin will keep the team on its toes. Don't forget to turn out Thursday night and support the Varsity Inter A team. Time: 8:30. Place: King Ed Gym, at Uth and Oak Street. Rowing Club Ties Powerful Varsity • ROWING CLUB scored a mild upset last Saturday when they stopped the powerful Varsity squad in a nothing to nothing game at Brockton Point Oval in the feature event of the afternoon. The week before Rowing Club showed itself to be very weak when it bowed to Ex-Brittania. On the other hand Varsity thoroughly trounced the RCAF fliers from Sea Island and was expected to swarm all over the Rowing Club outfit last week-end. The game was not as even as tho have turned out for practices and score asserts itself. The Varsity players were still showing the same class that they have shown in their previous outings. The new members of the team have blended themselves with the older players and their playing methods very well. MORE PLAYERS However, greater strength is expected to be added to the team when Al Jones and N. Cooke get bnck Into the line-up. These two players, who were used In the scrum to great advantage last year, have not Joined In the games as yet, They were late ln arriving at the Pearly Gates of the University and have had difficulty to get to practices. They will be In the scrum before long however. This brings up the question of r surplus of players, something that would have made managers leap for joy last year. Enough have been showing such ability that they deserve a chance to play in a league. SECOND TEAM A meeting last Friday brought out enough new and interested players that it is almost certain that a second team will be entered into the Miller Cup this week. A second team is needed to afford a better choice of players for the McKechnie Cup later this year. In former years the university had at least three playing teams entered in downtown competition. This constituted a minor league in itself. From this league a fairly strong McKechnie Cup team was picked every year. A Victoria Rep. team will probably face the Thunderbirds for the Homecoming sports feature on the 30th of this month. It ls likely that this game will be counted as a league game. Aw Ful Of Thought By JIM SCHATZ • THOSE OF YOU who read Harry Franklin's last few words last wdek will no doubt wonder what he meant. I do not feel like telling you. If you want to KNOW what he did mean why don't you go out to a few games this week end or the next and find out. If things continue the way they have you won't so I might as well tell you now and here. Your College Spirit smells. It really does. Not all of two and a half thousand students are so busy studying and working on Saturdays that some of you can not manage to go down and help the UBC sports teams out from the stands. I would like to know why more support is not given. Championship teams are produced regularly on this campus. They get mild support when the finals are on. If they can get a little support when the finals and exams are on together why can't a little more support be given when exams are six months away? A player has to have purely and only the love of the game to get out there, practise in all his spare time, and play before a cheereless throng. He should have some one to cheer his good plays and honour him at all times about the campus. Many boys around the campus are great stars in their respective sports and are carrying the name of the University to outsiders in the name of sport. How many does the average student recognize? Remember, also that you pay plenty of money each year for these games that you are not bothering to follow up. You can see any game in which a Varsity team is competing for nothing. You have already paid for your attendance and the strip in which the boys are playing. Why don't you make use of your investment?
