Starving Chinese Turn To Communism Communism is strong in China today because it seems to offer a solution to the poverty, pain and hunger of billions of Chinese, Rev. Donald K. Faris said in an address at UBC entitled "Why I am Returning to China." If Communism succeeds in • China, it is because we as World citizens do not meet the demands of the world today, Rev. Faris said. "We have the know-how but we sit back building our country at the sacrifice of a neighbor,'' he said. America to the Chinese is a privileged nation of milk and honey, too self-Interested to assist her neighbors. China is cur world neigh hor. yet deterln.altug rapidly, he said. "The doors of China are closed to us only because we keep them closed ourselves,'.' Rev. Farris declared. "I am a United Church missionary but I am returning to Tsinati In northern China as agrlciittnnil bead of Cheeloo Chlstian University because the current need of millions is physical food before they can be fed spiritual food." he declared.

Year's Financial Picture Brighter ■y JOHN McKINNON The Alma Mater Society goes Into a 1950-51 session which has considerably brighter prospects than the 1949-50 session held this time last year. Whereas a debt of 110,000 saddled the Society when previous treasurer Walt Ewing took over office ln 1949, and it was necessary to borow $1,200 from the bank ln order to tide the society over the summer of 1949, Treasurer Ewing managed by student co-operation to pay off the balance of the debt' and leave the society with a cash surplus of $5,602.86 by June 30, 19p0, the end of the fiscal year. The cash surplus mentioned above takes into account the fact t*hat $5,000 was to be loaned to the Varsity Outdoor Club In order to build their cabin, so that this $5,000 is not Included in the cash surplus. BUDGET CHARACTERISTICS This year's budget ls an attempt, aided by the absence of a debt but hampered by a lower enrolment, to increase financial support to campus organisations and activities. It ls characterised by: "higher admlnlstatlon expenses, athough •ve hope to keep (hose down in the race of a genera! rise in price ot goods and services; a higher grant to athletics, primarily to lower the cost of student admissions to games; a higher per capita grant fo undergraduate societies to help offset reduced enrolment and enable them to carry on thlr faculty functions; an Increased grant to LSE to enable subsidization of more noon-hour and evening cultural events for students; an increased contribution to\ the Na- PROGRESSIVE CONSERV.

South Hill brought the play to Vatalty's defense zone, but Hill centre-forward Stubby McLean put the lull over the cross-bar with only Norm McLeit' In Varsity's net to bent. T!ie Fraserltes continued to press and forced two corners in quick succession, but student fullbacks foiled both attempts to score. Thunderbird eaptuin, Bobby Moulds, started a passing play from the right wing and Don Olelg finished the play by scoring Varsity's second goal after thirty minutes of play. « So'ith Hill opened the second half on the attach and Ken Rees got Iheir first gosl with a lob shot from far out.

College Missionaries took the kickoff from IIUC to open the gamp and on their opening play quarterback Cal Boyes rifled a long paas to hnlf-back Howard Childres w'so ran the ball over for tho firefmajor of the game. Two more touchdowns were garnered by the Missionaries, and all three were converted, before the half time gun. The score remained the f-ame for the rest of the game, 210. I'lrrl touchdown came as a blow to '.ho Birdmen whom head coach Burke had been drilling for two folk, weeks on pass defense. D'tt much was to be said for opposition quarter Boyes tn regard to '.is passing. Boyes had the ability to fling tl.e 'dp 11 anywhere his little heart desired, without the slightest worry of Thunderbirds dai:ig much about it. Only once was one of his passes Inte-icepted and lint was more the fault of the receiver than the pas« ser. Second most noticeable standout on the visitor's tram was fulback Bob Mathot who scored one of the three majors aiu. gained tremendous ground on line plunges. On the credit side of tne scoreboard, quarterback Gordle Flem ons did a good j tl> when he was put in the game. His passing was lona and accurate but he didn't have enr.'.gh chances to use his ability. Alternating in the quarter slot wn?
