The only body which violently disagrees with the councillor viewpoint is the faculty of Science, which seems to be unanimously against any curtailment which will deprive them of their popular function, the Science Ball., In the opinion of one prominent* sclenceman, there ar* three main objection* to CouncU'* reduction in the aocial calendar. There wiU be, he maintain*, a complete lack of the customary enthusiasm in class functions, and the two formal affairs now on the bill* wiU be Uttle more than frosh reception*. Hi* third objection was that CouncU'* proposals should have been published previous to the Alma Mater Meeting, in order that studenta might have had sufficient tune to consider the chances. "Had this been the case, I know that Science would have invited Agriculture to join with them in one ball," declared the science representative. Rogers Upheld The suggestion of Vic* Rogers, viz that in addition to the abolition of Aggie's baU, two class parties should be cut, one in Science and one ln Arts, wa* upheld, and the engineer considered that these changes would have been more desirable man those eventuaUy put through by the Alma Mater Society. Dave Turner, president of the faculty of Agriculture, expressed himself as ready to back Council up in their considered policy. "After aU," he said, "we have chosen Council to do their disinterested best for the Alma Mater Society, and we should trust them to do so." Aggies Willing To Sacrifice He announced the wUUhgness of the Aggie* to sacrifice their ball if necessary for the good of the university.

The affair, held at the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, was under the management of Vic Rogers and Milt Owen. Four Nipponese demonstrated holds and falls of their national sport ju- jitsu, and many spectacular feats brought forth rounds of applause from the spectators. Dr. Sedgewick advised the Freshmen never to do what other professors following day in phonetical Chinook, told them, never to attend any more The location of the convention was President Delivers Inaugural Address Of Va* Institute "There Is nothing of which you boast less, nor of which you have a better right to be proud than your University," Dr. L. S. Klinck, honorary preaident of the Vancouver Institute and president of the University of British Colombia, told an attentive audience in Art* 100 Saturday evening. Taking aa his subject, "Some Functions of a University," Dr. Klinck deUvered the inaugural address of the *lxteenth session of the Institute before a larger a—m- blage than ha* been present at any previous opening lecture. Mental Apathy "A more general knowledge of the function* of a unrwatty would prevent people from making adverse criticisms, which show a lack of familiarity with their subject," the university president stated, and went on to show that these criticisms arise because of the fact that all students taking a university education have not the mental capacity to benefit from it. "Many parents do not realise that the student, to get the fuU benefit from a university education, although full ot ambition and zeal, must have a* preperequisites a sys- (Pleaje turn to Page Three) European Countries Extend Welcome To Rhodes Scholar James A. Gibson, Rhodes scholar from this University two years ago, report* his doing* during the summer, covering many points of inter- eat in Europe. In Latvia he attended the Congress Internationale Etudiants where delegate* of nineteen different countries sent off into the ether greetings to any of their fellow countrymen sojourning or living in Latvia. Gibson distinguished himself by delivering his oration in Chinook, somewhat bewildering his vast audience, who thought the native language of Canada was English. He was introduced as "Dzems Dzibson." The words of greeting were duly reported in the student periodical the Nationalism Discussed By Historical Club The menace of nationalism was treated by Jean Campbell, while a defence was presented by Wlllard Ireland, president of the Historical Society, at the first meeting of the 1032-33 term, held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. G. Davidson on Monday evening. In presenting a number of definitions of nationalism, Miss CampbeU declared that her criticism was directed against the exclusive and perverted forms of nationaUsm which are at the root of most international disturbances, and which reached their peak in the World War of 1914-18. Influence of Education Education was stressed as one of the forces which moulded nationalism into its present form. Examples of educational propaganda taught in the schools of Italy today were given by the speaker. War and military service have done much to promote the growth of nationaUsm in many countries; Germany, Italy, the United States, and Balkan nations being evidence of the growth of nationalism through violence. Economic nationaUsm had been productive of much strife alao. The limitations of nationalism, intolerance, militarism, seiushness; and it* effect on the masses, were all stressed. Its menace is moral, political, economic, and racial in its scope. "Only if nationalism is a means to a worthy end," Miss Campbell in- slated, "can It be tolerated in our modern world. I think that true nationaUsm ia a step to internationalism," she concluded, "and it is only in this capacity that it can be endured." Wlllard Ireland's definition of nationalism as a "sense of oneness of (Please turn to Page Two) Columnist llfflH lifdj!! m ■VT '*■ je^s^sa ■ >,esM mm\W' * m"1 \ ' 1 ft" u " t'JI »/ l*ast must b* eliminated, and it was in Guest At Supper DOROTHY MYERS President last year of the Women's Undergraduate Society, who waa an honoured guest at the Freshette banquet Friday night. Freshettes Gorge On Olives and Eloquence At Supper Function Large quantities of salad, olives, and ice-cream, though filling, proved to be hardly energizing enough to fill the seniors and freshettes with the hearty power of song on Friday night, when new women students were welcomed into full membership in the Women's Undergraduate Society. The gift of eloquence, however, flowed more freely, as the King, the Alma Mater, the W. U. S. and the honored guests were toasted by the president of W. U. S„ Alice Rowe, Betty Jack, and Frances Lucas respectively. Dorothy Thompson responded to the toast to Women's Undergrad, and Marjorie Nuthall spoke for the guests, who included Miss Bollert, Miss Gray, and Miss Dorothy Myers, as weU as the freshette class. Ruth Witbeck; president of Women's Athletics, valiantly attempted to lead the assemblage in "Hail U.B.C," "My Girl's a Hullabaloo," and other classics, but owing to the fact that this was the freshettes' first introduction to Varsity sing-songs, the effect was less rousing than pep-meeting renditions. At the close of the banquet, the new students took a pledge of loyalty to their university. Filing out, they registered their names for one or more activities in a book to be kept for the purpose, and proceeded home in buses and street-cars in which the stronger sex found Itself so considerably in the minority as to inspire flight in several instances.

Red Shirt* Object Science's fiery spoke a man, Art Saunders, protest** against the cancellation of the only faculty ball that paid, and begged that the "one gesture" of the red-shlrted clan be allowed to remain. He referred to the forthcoming Frosh reception aa "th* only event in Western Canada which outrivals the Calgary Stampede," and warned the assemblage that such was the only logical expectation for the two new functions. St. John Madeley moved that the policy of council be passed with the exception of the social clause, but thi* motion wea ^iMbsequently rescinded. Vic Rogers came forward with a proposal which would incorporate the Aggie baU with one of the others, and eUminate the Senior baU. - - fUam-MeJotlty ■- "Studenta of U.B.C., I am ashamei of you," said Mark Collins after several speakers had risen extolling the virtues of one faculty as against another. "Last year you were out to instil in the public a respect for your university. This year it Is just aa important, though we are going about it more quietly. No faculty should come before the university as a whole." In this he was suported by the president of Aggie, who expressed himself as willing to back Council up ln this cause. The vote after a recount showed a majority of seven for the poUcy. New eUgibiUty rule* drawn up by Council, less severe than of yore, were passed without a dissenting voice. A bright spot in the lengthy report of the treasurer was the fact that the A.M.S. stands possessed thia year of the largest surplus it has seen since the university opened. COMMON ROOM FOR SEMINAR USE "If the three new upper common rooms are not used properly, they will revert to professors," declared Stu. Crysdale, President of the Arts Men's Undergraduate Society, at an executive meeting Tuesday noon. Professors, although requiring every available rom, were generous enough to turn rooms X, Y and Z over to students use, it was stated, and if students do not show their appreciation, by observing the rules drawn up by the A.M.U.S. they will be barred from the new common rooms. Rule* To Be Observed: 1. No lunching or lounging. 2. No rowdyism. 3. Room X for use of first and second year students only. 4. Room Z for use of third and fourth year students only. 5. Room Y for use, on occasion, of the A.M.U.S. Notices will b* posted when this room is not available for student use. The main purpose of the new common rooms is to permit Informal seminar discussion, which is not avaU- able elsewhere on the campu* to the average student. UNIVERSITY SWEATERS Students may now obtain the regulation University sweater at a special rate of $3.00 each. Tlie sweater is a white V-neck with a blue and gold band around the neck and a 3 and 1-2 inch band around the waist consisting of 1 and 1-4 inch blue, 1 and 1-8 inch gold and 1 and 1-4 inch blue.

Balcomb, Sid Aqua Wednesday, October 12, 1932 IN TUNE WITH THE TIMES Bowing its collective head to the storm, known in the outer world as the depression, the Alma Mater Society has decided to endorse Council's policy of a reduced social program this year. This motion was passed on Friday after some discussion and a great deal of opposition from the Science faculty, which turned out in strength to support its sponsor, Vic Rogers, in endeavoring to retain the Science Ball. The point of view of the science men is readily understandable. It is hard for them to give up what they regard as their one gesture, and being as they are, the most highly organized faculty on the campus, makes it even more difficult to subordinate their own interests to those of the university as a whole. It is a fact to be deplored that loyalty to one's faculty should imply lack of loyalty to the Alma Mater when the two come into conflict. It is open to question still, however, as to whether the new social program will really do what it is intended to do, namely, inculcate opinion favorable to the university in the mind of the general public. Whether the accounts of two balls instead of three in the society columns of the city newspapers will really impress their avid readers that U.B.C. is a worthy institution is a problem which only time will solve. At best, the new social program is but a negative way of influencing p\iblic opinion. A more tangible form of propaganda is necessary if the A.M.S. is really out to impress the citizens of British Columbia with the worth of this university. As far as it concerns undergraduate life directly, opinion seems to be widespread in favor of the new schedule. Time and money are both more difficult to come by this year than heretofore. Students are exhibiting unexpected tendencies towards study, a fact which reduced lecture periods and increased necessity for individual work has rendered more emphatic. The new program is in tune with the times. OccaiionalObiervationi 1 by FRANCES LUCAS A RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT Students, ambitious to become counterparts of Ellen Terry and Henry Irving, are today engaged in the annual try-outs of the University Players' Club. They are endeavouring to win admittance to the oldest and probably the most distinguished extra-curricular body on the campus. The Players' Club was organized in 1916, the year of the birth of the University. It's growth has kept pace with the progress made by the U.B.C. It's record, in its field, is as outstanding. To belong to the organization, therefore, may be considered a privilege, albeit, it involves plenty of hard work. Interwoven with the history and achievements of the Players' Club is the man chiefly responsible for its splendid record. He is Professor F. G. C. Wood, who retired a year ago after fifteen years service as honorary president, coach, director and chief source of inspiration. Anyone essaying to fill Professor Wood's shoes would need a very capable pair of feet, as one wit said. The selection was difficult but Dr. F. C. Walker has proved that his feet are not only capable but can stay on the ground. After one year's trial, it can safely be said that Dr. Walker has successfully carried on the work of his distinguished predecessor. One boast of the Players' Club has nothing to do with art and drama—pure and undefiled by taint of commercialism. It is the fact that every spring, after production of the annual play, a handsome surplus is realized. These funds go into the coffers of the Alma Mater Society and indirectly, therefore, the Players' Club helps to support many less fortunate bodies on the campus. HISTORICAL SOCIETY DISCUSSES NATIONAUSM (Continued from Page One) a people bound together by common traditions and customs and by loyalty to a common past" was provocative of much discussion following the reading of his paper. NationaUsm Individual Liberty He declared that patriotism, racialism, and nationality are all confused with natloneUsm today, and maintained that nationalism functioning properly would operate in the large and imperfect economy of European affairs very much in the same way as the principle of individual liberty operates in any given state. It would prevent the formation of massive and conventional opinion which impair the free play of individuality and af- Homeric poems, the Attic and Elizabethan drama, and the art of the Italian Renaissance, have all come from small states. Small countries such as Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, have given greater gifts to the world of letters than has the United States with its immense population. NationaUsm Fosters Internationalism The education and liberty of the individual citizen is better promoted in small states than it is in a large commonwealth. Joint action ot states is quite possible without thc destruction of national spirit. Enlightened nationalism facilitates this. Nationalism and commercialism are not enemies of Internationalism: militarism is. "It is only on the basis of triumphant nationalism that an effective internationalism can be ford a corrective to the idea that built," the speaker concluded. brute force is the only thing which counts in the world. One of the greatest achievements of nationalism is (he cultural development which has resulted from its operation. The Old Testament, the Prof. F. H. Soward, honorary- president of the society, Dr. W. N. Sage, Prof. A. C. Cook, and graduate members of the organization all took part in the discussion which followed reading of the papers. O, O. Goes Odorous (Not What You Think, Either) The clumps of roses at the corners of Arts lawn are delicious these days. When the wind Is right, one gets a breath of loveliness from them. I remarked on this the other day on my way to the Library with a companion. "Something for the column," is my favorite saying nowadays, "Yes," said she, "you could make quite a few Inches of Varsity smells . . ." We fell to considering the number and variety of these. There Is the book-y smell of the Library; the inky smell of the PubUcations office; the Caf, which really could have a whole column devoted to it exclusively. I am publishing nothing ln a derogatory spirit, prospective libel-suers please note. It ia all in a spirit of honest inquiry. If there is any proverb I hat*, it is the one about the cap fitting, so I wttl not quote it here, but that ia th* Idea I wish to convoy. (I cannot explain why I do not Uke that proverb, except that it Moms to me that people bring it up st inappropriate time*. Th*y make it Impossible for me to resent impersonally sundry remarks anent the und*p*ndability of columnist*). Another 'Sad' Warning, With Moral W* w*r* talking about smells. The most disagreeable one extant is that which emanates from the exhaust pip* of a bu* whan you ar* endeavoring to pass it. This odour would be disagreeable even if it were not associated with that thwarted impulse. Thus reinforced, it has all the potency of tear gas. Bus driver* should have the common human decency to remember this; in general, it must be admitted that they do, but the other day I saw a sad exception. It moved me to expatiate through the medium of verse upon this evil, and produced another Warning Tale, which I hope will be pasted upon the dashboard of every Varsity bus: Fable of the Fate of the Recalcitrant Bus-Driver Hark to a tale of low-laid pride, And justice dealt in measure stern. The bus that will not turn aside Ah, what a lesson here will learn! Al was a driver bold and proud, Liz was his bus, of yellow fine. By all the lecture-hurrying crew They trusted were to make that nine- O'clock. But Al by pride was gnawed, And kept the middle of the 'Vard, Though horns and drivers honked and jawed, His wheel was firm, his heart was hard. One bright day Fate crept up behind, In form of a Steam-Roller huge, Al kept the course he had designed- He should have sought a safe refuge. For on it came; and just like that— Oh, this Is painful to relate! The monster roUed out Lizzie flat, Ere she could flee her awful fate. And now of that fair golden bus, Liz, of the ramblers queen of all, An jaundiced splash Is left to us, Just at the corner of the MaU. * * » The Symphony Concert Allard de Ridder, who told us tales last week of a Beethoven who scared cows with weird gestures and wrote exquisite music when the world was black for him, conducted a symphony on Sunday which seemed charmingly suited to him. Beethoven's Eighth is as endearing and delightful as the leader himself, and the fact that he chose it for his debut "when a boy out of the Conservatoire in Holland" is satisfactorily apt. Such Varsity students as attended the first symphony' concert of the season had an opportunity to enjoy music that was lovely, whether understandable or not. Personally, I found the second selection on the programme, by deFalla, almost incomprehensible. The theme would not work* out the way I thought it was going to at all, in fact I could hardly distinguish one. But the piano-and-orchestra concerto was a joy, especially the second movement, so delicately and adequately done by Miss Steeb and her co-workers in the strings. Rushed To Death The only flaw in my delight at Sunday afternoon was the distressing disorder which seemed to prevail at the booking office, confusion reigning there threatening to reduce the poor lady in charge almost to tears on the morning I called for my ticxet. Hundreds of people seemed to be asking and phoning for bookings, and these were being sold and unsold and resold at bewildering rate. Perhaps the Symphony Society did not anticipate such a rush, for the Or- pheum was .well-nigh fiUed with music-lovers routed from their indolence by the urgent promptings of R. J. and similar lively-souled believers in the Better Self of the city of Vancouver. O.

Copy wUl be accepted any time now, however, by the Literary Editor, Kay Crosby, at the PubUcations Office. | Correspondence ] Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: At the Alma Mater meeting on Friday, Council's proposed curtailment of the social programme was passed by a majority of seven. To my mind this suggests one of two things: either the student body as a whole is shockingly selfish, or the faculty of Applied Science has such a control over the rest of the University that It can come within •even votes of dictating its own wishes to the remainder of the students. It is not pleasant to think of the A.M.S. as so selfish that it would lower the University in the eyes of the public by insisting on a fuU social programme. In fact, I do not think that the majority of students was in any way opposed to a cut— and a drastic one—In our social activities. It wa* over the abolishment of the Science Ball, rather, that the issue waa fought, the strong influence of it* sponsors being felt insofar a* they almost succeeded in retaining their beloved function at the expsns* of Art* and Agriculture. "Why not combine the Art* and Aggi* BaU* because th* asm* crowd attends both," argued representative onguMera. "Leave Science intact because it ha* been intact since 1921, because it has paid for some years, and because if it were cut, our class spirit would suffer." Can anyone imagine a more utterly selfish way ot looking at the matter? The Scienoeman'a attitude ia not only selfish: it is both unfair and logically unsound. A faculty ia a faculty, irrespective ot numbers, and each Jaculty has the right to equal privileges or, conversely, to equal penalties. Council's suggestion alone recognized these facts; therefore It Is to be supported. Even if one took the point of view that number* determine a faculty'* right to privileges, Arts (not counting any of its women, some oi whom are understood to enjoy the Science Ball) has a two to one majority over Science, and is therefore entitled to preserve its own ball before any other faculty. As for Science's suggestion that it would ruin class enthusiasm if its ball were abolished . . ! This argument shows to what extremes organized science-ism can be carried. Worse, the very fact that a • platform containing such a plank can nearly carry the day against both the interests of the University as a whole and against its largest faculty, shows it is high time Arts began to wake up and realize that a little organization is necessary. Otherwise 1450 of U.B.C.'s 1700 students will be at the rather doubtful mercy of some 280 sciencemen.—"J. S." The Book Exchange will be open noon hours only this week.

BANKERS TO THE ALMA MATER SOCIETY L C. R. Myers, Manager (Continued from Page One) those who is in favor of the new social program. "I believe It Is a mistake to say that the two new balls will be mere repetitions of the 'Frosh stampede'," she declared. People are not ui a position to stampede to anything which costs money this year. "The point of not using the old names is a good one too," she added. "If some faculties have to suffer, I don't see why one should escape more than the others. CouncU Plan Lauded "The Council Plan is the only fair solution for the social program," announced Milt Owen, Junior Member. "It' would not be fair to favor one faculty or to take numbers into consideration and the only way is to do away with all faculty balls. We want to foster a University spirit, not a Faculty one." "I can't think of any better suggestion for the social program," said Ruth Witbeck, president of the W.A.- A., in favor of the Council's plan. "It considers the University as a whole and is the best way out of a serious predicament." "Though the Social programme may be not quite so nice as last year I think the two dances wUl be lots of fun If we give them a fair chance," declared Dorothy Thompson, president of the W. U. S. Presidents of Clubs Voice View* Victor Dryer, president of the Parliamentary Forum, was emphatically in favor of cutting down on the program of Varsity functions, opining that life Is strenuous enough without piling on parties, and that a rest is even better than a change. Jean McDiarmid, president of the Letter's Club, thinks that women have more say in the affair than is generally believed. "After all, most of the women present at the Science Ball have been from Arts," she said, "which makes that affair not quite entirely a Science gesture." Expressing another generally felt opinion, she considered that Council should present a united front in presenting such a vital matter as the year's policy to the Alma Mater Society, and that it was regrettable, to say the least, that there should be such a strong and obvious dissent in evidence In the ranks of the governing body Itself.

FOR INFORMATION PHONE SEY. 8623 Chocolate Cake (Note: If support Is strong enough, this column, devoted to home cookery, wiU—D. V. & W. P.—be continued. Otherwise it is likely to die a premature death.—Editor.) Now, as a cook I have my limitations. I am an expert at ham-and, at flapjacks I recognize no equal (an ambiguous statement, but let it stand). I can boil'potatoes, and cabbage, too. But I am a leetle bit out of my [depth (five feet four, if you're Interested) when It comes to Widgeon a la Royale, and things like Endive Aspic aux Fines Herbes, whatever that means. However, and notwithstanding, I said to myself one day, "With my superior brain, and coUege education, surely I can cook a cake." The alliteration Is unintentional, and therefore free, gratis. So I girded up my socks, and wambled off to a friend of mine. "Cake?" she said, "simplest thing in the worldl Just follow the recipe." So I tootled off home again, and selected Chocolate' Cake. Now you see the reason for this title. I put a large pan in front ot me, and put into it all the list of stuff under the heading "Chocolate Cake." Then I stirred it with a spoon—a wooden one, mind you. By and by my eye wandered down the paragraph below the menu—as it were— of thia cake. I saw th*n that I had mad* a mistake in putting all th* ■tuff in at one*. I started over again. It began, "Cream butter thoroughly." At first I thought I had to put the butter into a churn and de- churn it back to cream. But I had no churn. Then my eye lighted on "1 cup ot milk"—and everything waa clear. Obviously, if you mix butter and milk long enough you should get cream. So I went ahead. It was a Utile bit messy when I ceased operations. Later it said, "add beaten yolks." I didn't know how to separate the yolk from the white, at first. Then I had a brainwave. I fried the eggs, and cut the yolks out when the eggs were stiff. But they wouldn't beat worth a darn. So I left them out. Then I hit another stump. It said "add . . . milk." But I had used up all my milk in creaming the butter. However, I said "Milk is good food. It is healthy, and probably has lots of calories. Obviously, my cake will be all the better for another cup of milk or so." By the time I had finished that part, the future cake was a little bit sloppy. However, a cupful of flour soon fixed that. "1 teaspoonful of vanilla extract." I had no vanilla, so I decided to use lemon instead. I prefer lemon, anyway. But I could find no lemon in the kitchen. So, Dad being a ' doctor, I popped into his dispensary and used a teaspoonful of his Oil of Lemon. I also used a little extra, that spilled (luckily) into the mixing pan. Later I found out I had added too much. Three or four drops, Dad said, would have been plenty. Powerful stuff, that. I had no difficulty in "fold in stiffly beaten egg whites." They hadn't been beaten, but the frying had made them stiff enough for anybody. By this time I,was getting tired, Page Three LITANY CORONER All day long The .battle Raged— Motions, Motions, Jugs of water, Stampedes, Boos, (not boose) As Rosemary said, And other things Toonumeroustomention. And Here am I, Battle scarred, Bottle scarred, Battle scared, And Badly upset In fact I'll never be the same. so I decided to leave out the rest of the ingredients. So I shoved It into the oven. About half an hour later I looked in -to see how it was getting on—and found I hadn't lit the gas. ' I had half a dozen peeks in the next ten minutes, but the cake wasn't getting on very well. So I left it alone for awhile. Along about an hour later, I opened the oven door again. This was a mistake, so I opened all the doors and windows in the house to remedy it. The fambly came back next day, but didn't admire the cake. It disappeared that afternoon. I bet mother hid It. She wu jealous, no doubt. PRESIDENT KLINCK ADDRESSES INSTITUTE c Stadium Fund "Donations to the Stadium Fund Trust Account have diminished considerably In comparison with former contributions," stated Mark Collins, treasurer of the A. M. S. The largest amount added to the credit ot this fund is $464 uncollected caution money from the previous session. "The W.C.T.U. donated $48, and although this seems a rather insignificant sum," continued Collins, "it would be of major importance if other organizations would follow suit." All unclaimed caution money at the end of this year will probably be used for the same purpose.

(Continued from Page One) tematic method of work, a capacity for sustained application to the task at hand, and consistent practice in straight thinking." Dr. Klinck then enumerated the three principal function* of a university, namely teaching, research, and extension. Dealing with the prevalent idea that modern students are not taught to think he said: Highest Achievement "To teach clear and accurate thinking is the main objective of a university. Inquiring, critical minds with Intense interest in problems and with discerned capacity to put forth effort are immediately discovered by professors. Such students, when re- enforced by experience and stimulation to creative imagination so that they may generalize as well as spec- iaUze, represent the highest achievement of a university." The president, dealing with methods of instruction, explained that the object that professors have in mind is to place the student in contact with sources of reference, and their chief concern is to see that he learns to think for himself and that he enjoys the process. Hence the student should cease to regard lectures as the principal part of his education, and should realize that the essential facts are not the lectures or the course of study, but the benefit he gets out of collecting his Information and learning to determine things for himself. Supplementary study is absolutely necessary to complete a university education, he stated. Research Work Speaking of the other two divisions Dr. Klinck showed that research wa* not apart from the function* of a university, but waa an integral part of its work, and that to extend the boundaries of achieved knowledge was an important function of every university. Referring to the statement issued by Premier Brownlee of Alberta to the effect that a conference of the heads of the four western universities might be called in the near future to see if a larger measure of confidence in them could not be brought about, the president said that, contrary to popular belief, universities do not try to outbid one another in the establishment of faculties. "Although all must possess the basic sciences, such as civil,engineering, if Saskatchewan establishes a department of ceramics, Alberta and Manitoba need not and do not. Hence a certain measure of co-operation now exists amongst these universities, and It is to be expected that a lasge increase of the latter may be brought about as a result of such a conference." In conclusion Dr. Klinck stated that universities were institutes for the giving of a liberal education, not narrow specialization. "They are repositories for truth, they are disseminators of truth, they are discoverers of truth." Purpose of Institute Dr. Gordon Shrum, the president of the Institute, Informed the audience that the purpose of the Institute was to contribute to the life of the community and to educate the adults in matters of current interest. He assured them that all lectures given at sessions of the Institute were given for the first time and prepared specially for it. The fact that the lectures are free does not mean that they have not a high degree of excellence, an argumnt'which was confirmed by the enthusiastic response which was accorded the honorary president's speech.. Next Saturday's lecture will be by Prof. H. F. Angus on "The Kidd Report." Mr. Kidd has kindly consented to speak at the close of the lecture. WARMING UP FOR THE BIO TRACK MEET!

The Students evidently reaped the benefits of a week's training under the regime of Coach Buck Yeo, for it was a far different aggregation of Ruggers that took the field on Monday to that which opposed the N. V. All-Blacks the previous week. The threes handled well throughout,* Soccermen In Draw At Royal City With a penalty goal tying the score with less than five minutes to play, Varsity Senior Soccermen were forced to accept a draw with Westminster City at Queen's Park on Saturday. Varsity controUed most of the play in the first half, and obtained a one goal lead, which they held against repeated Westminster attacks in the second stanza, but their fine defensive play went for nothing when a penalty was awarded for hands with only four minutes left to play. Following the conversion, neither team Was able to obtain the winning goal. Varsity attacked from the kick-off, and controlled the play for several minutes until the Westminster team found their feet and began to take their share of the play. From then on play ranged from end to end, with Varsity having an edge over the Royal City squad. Finally, on a beautiful combination play which started from centre, Varsity opened the scoring. Munday headed the goal from a centre by Cooke. Westminster attacked strongly from the kick-off, and McOUl and Legg, at fuU-back for the Students, were caUed on to make a number of spectacular saves. However, both they and Frattinger in goal, were in great form, and Varsity weathered the attack to once more take the offensive. The half ended without further score. Westminster set out in the second period to even the score, and pressed the Blue and Oold defense through most of the half. Varsity forwards appeared to be disorganized, and their attacks were easUy handled by the Royal City defence. However, Varsity's defence stood up splendidly under pressure, and saved time and again. Frattinger in particular was working well, and on one occasion, dived full length to shove a hard drive around the post. With five minutes left to play, a questionable penalty was called for hands, and Gardiner, Westminster inside left, converted with a shot that gave Frattinger no chance. Although both teams played at top speed for the remaining time, and gave both defences a hot time, neither squad succeeded in obtaining the winning counter. McGill was again the best player on the field, saving sure goals on three occasions, and turning in a splendid all-round performance. Frattinger in goal appeared to have struck last year's form, showing much improvement over previous Clement, and Hedley were the pick games. Legg, promoted this week whUe the scrum men heeled cleanly against the heavier ex-Varsity forwards. Esson Young Stan Eaton Young, tricky three quarter, who got the caU from the second division for Monday's game, went over in the dying moments of the first half to score the winning try for the Varaity squad. The Occasionals kicked off and after a scrum back in centre field pinned Varsity in their own twenty- five. The heavy Orad forwards forced the pace, but Art Mercer cleared with a strong fifty yard kick to touch. The Occassional scrum men used their weight to good advantage in a steady dribbling attacK, which put the ball back into safer territory. Chris Dalton secured at the fifty yard mark, and go away for the first open field run, but was brought down by Richardson. With play ranging around midfleld, Bill Locke, ex-Varsity star, opened up a play which ended by forcing the Blue and Oold to touch down behind their own line. Mercer Misses Drop Kick After an exchange of kicks the Student forwards smeared the opposing backs, but lacked the final push to cross the Orad line. On a free kick for the Point Orey boys, Dalton failed to score from 40-yards out, and shortly after Ken Mercer's effort at a drop just fell short. The grad threes handled nicely and ran the ball to the Student 30-yard line. However Art Mercer secured from the loose and gave the leather to Leggat who was forced on the wing five yards from the opposing line. With only one minute to go ln the half, Esson Young took a pass from Ken Mercer and cut through centre for the only score of the day. Dalton missed the convert. Second Half Scoreless Play ranged around mid-field for the opening minutes of the second naif. Brent Brown gained possession from the loose and smeared the Grad full-back after following up his own kick. At the scrum down the Varsity backs got away and ran the ball to the 10-yard line. The ex- Students rallied, rushing the play to centre-field, where Bill Locke ran around blind-side, only to be brought down a few yards from the line. Cleveland made a nice play when he pulled off a fifty yard run, and then foUowed up his kick to pin the Occasional full-back at 5 yards from the line. During the last few minutes the ex-Students fought desperately to even the count but could not break through the defence of their younger opponents. The game ended with the Blue and Gold pressing hard to increase their lead. For Varsity, Cleveland, Art and Ken. Mercer and Esson Young showed well In the back division, while Derry Tye played a stellar game at half. Brent Brown, Paul of the forwards. The lineup: H. Cleveland, Derry Tye, Art. Mercer, Ken.

MEN'S GRASS HOCKEY The Men's Grass Hockey team played two twenty minute practice games on Saturday at Connaught Park against Cricketeers and Vancouver and won both games by a score of 1-0. The team showed excellent form and attacked vigorously throughout both games. The defence was good, repulsing repeated attacks y the opposing forwards. Some of e players were new to the game, but In spite of this, gave a very good account of themselves. SPORTORIAL PEP UP VARSITY! One of the most glaring and altogether unpardonable defects of this year's student body is the utter lack of college spirit evidenced* at all games this year. With an enrollment of over seventeen hundred students at this institution, and student tickets selling for half price, it is absolutely inexcusable that so few turn out to watch the Blue and Gold teams in action. People may cry depression and hard times as an excuse, but we venture to say that each week, every student squanders at least the equivalent of the price of one student ticket. Another excuse that may be attempted is the lack of time on the part of the individual. An answer to this is the straightforward question: What better way is there for the college man or woman to obtain the necessary recreation than by attending one of the games? At the most, it takes but two hours once a week to take in a sport contest, counting the time for going to and from the game. Despite the lack of college spirit evidenced by so many students, however, it is pleasing to note that there are a few who do go to the games and who are enthusiastic and willing to give their support. But what do these students find? Are they ushered to an exclusive section and organized into an efficient rooting squad? Are they led in college songs and yells by enthusiastic yell-leaders? It is most lamentable that the answer to these questions is no. Instead of a compact section of students effervescing with college spirit and helping THEIR team to victory by responding to the yell-king, they find no organization and no leader. They drift in and sit down anywhere, and while the team is playing its heart out for its Alma Mater, the students offer a few meagre words of encouragement. All we lack is enthusiasm and organization. That is a lot to lack, it is true, but it CAN be remedied. Where is the Pep Club? Where are the Pep Meetings? Where are the Yell Leaders? SNAP OUT OF IT, STUDENTS, AND "LET'S GO, VARSITY!" 1 NORM.

Thirty players are competing in the mens' singles, and thc interest in this event Is almost certain to be keenest. Colin Milne, National Junior Champion, has been getting into good shape on the home courts, and should reach the later rounds. OUver Lacey, youthful Freshman star, has also been working out on the cement courts, and has shown himself to be a strong competitor. Harold Lando, former champion of the college, who is entered and can be relied on to put up a good game, is anxious to regain the title. Jlmmie Bardsley, Lando's doubles' partner, has made a name for himself on the public courts, and should find no difficulty in adjusting himself to the Varsity courts. Other stars taking part are Dave and Laurie Todd, John Bardsley, Reg. Price and Chris. Fletcher, all of whom are capable of upsetting the dope. Chief among the women's entries are Phylls White, Gladys Munton and Ruth Witbeck.

The only score for the Varsity team, was a safety touch, by the other team in the second quarter. The blue and gold boys certainly showed considerable form and spirit notwithstanding their lack of practice. The opposing squad opened with quite an aggressive, attack and before the contest was five minutes old, they had piled up 2 points to their favor, with a rouge, made by pressing tiie Point Orey crew back to the line. Then still pressing the Varsity, they gave themselves 3 more points with a neat drop kick by Reg. Meek. The quarter progressed with neither of the teams scoring any further points; U.B.C. somewhat reUeved by Moffat's fine kicking. In the second quarter Burke's team recovered and by forcing a safety touch scored their only two points of the game. Half time found tiie score 5-2 for Meralomas. Play for the third canto showed Varsity being pressed again at first but recovering slowly thanks to a smooth drop kick of Hisettt's and a couple of completed forward passes from Simons to Carswell. Meralomas marked up two more points by a couple of kicks to the deadline. The last quarter featured an attack by Nay in which the CoUege aggregation gained a few yards, and a 40- yard run by Moffat. The game ended with the Orange and Black squad on the 20-yard line and the score 7-2.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 3:00. Hefty V.A.C. Squad Outplay Blue and Gold Team in Every Department of Game— Varsity Line Crumbles Against Heavy Opposition—Long V.A.C. Drives Are A Feature of the Play Norm Burley's hefty V.A.C. grid aggregation outplayed the Varsity squad in every department of the game at Athletic Park on Monday afternoon to romp away with a 20 to 0 victory. From the first to the final whistle the V.A.C. took the offensive, crashing through the line or going round the ends for first downs almost continuously. Time and again the Blue and Gold line failed to hold on kick formations, allowing the husky Red- Caps to smother the kicker and gain precious yards. > Vanity held the championship V. A. C. squad to two deadline kicks ln the first quarter, but in the second period the Burley crew launched a couple of sustained drives down the field to make two touchdowns, one of which was converted, and a rouge; to make the half-time score 14-0. The third quarter produced one tally, and another touchdown in the final period ended the scoring. First Quarter Unusual After V. A. C. had made two unsuccessful attempts to start the game, Varsity was given the bail for first down in mid-field. On the first play a bad kick was picked up by a V.A.C. man who ran the ball over the U.B.C. line, only to be called back for an offside. V.A.C. then took possession of the pigskin, and a kick by Shields hit the goalpost and bounced back into the field. An over-anxious Burley- player nabbed the ball before it had been touched by Varsity, with the result that the ball changed hands again. After these hectic first minutes V.A.C. steadied down to dominate the play for the rest of the quarter, Shields and Errington each tallying on kicks to the deadline. V.A.C. Drives Impress Doctor Burke sent in five new men at the start of the second quarter in an effort to stem the advance of the Red-Caps, but to no avail. V.A.C secured the ball on Varsity's 33-yard line and made two successive first downs before Chodat carried the baU over'the line for five points. The convert failed and the score stood at 7-0. V.A.C. continued to dominate the play with their smashing line-bruisers and flashy backfield. Shortly after their first touchdown they forced the U.B.C. and took possession of the spheriod on their own 25-yard line. From this point began one of the most concerted drives seen on the local gridiron this season. With centre-bucks, end runs, quarter sneaks and what have you, the V.A.C. aggregation crashed and passed Its way down the field for four first downs which ended only because there . were no more yards to go. errington converted the toucn to make the score 13-0. Another drive ended in a rouge, making the half-time score 14-0. Varsity Close To Touch With the resumption of play, Varsity pepped up for a few minutes and twice came within an ace of scoring. The first time they recovered a V.A.C. fumble and made a first down on an onside kick, to come within scoring distance, only to lose possession on the three-yard line. V.A.C. fumbled again to give U.B.C. the ball on the 25-yard line, and once again the coUege boys failed by inches to make downs right on the V.A.C. line. V.A.C. rallied for the rest of the quarter but were held for only one point from the toe of Shields. The final canto was pretty well all V.A.C. Another long drive, featuring a thrilling 30-yard end run, brought them in a scoring position once again. Shields took the ball on another end run for the final touchdown of the game, making the final score 20-0. For V.A.C. Shields and displayed prowess in the Webster and Sandstrom pressed. Mclntyre played stellar game for Varsity Frosh Meet Varsity On Oval Today This afternoon at 3:10, the Frosh meet the Upper-classmen in the annual classic at the Oval, and a big crowd is expected to cheer the boys on. Providing the weather is clear, fast times should be recorded, and not a few field records toppled. Heron is expected to do big things in the broad jump, and there is no reason why Haddon Agnew shouldn't smash his own Varsity discus record. Osborne should do weU in the 440, if he is forced by Ken Wright and Max Stewart. In the 220, Chris Dalton, .chunky EngUsh Rugby star, should give Barber and Stott lots to worry about. Olympic Star WUl Officiate Harold Wright, running mate of "peerless" Percy Williams ln the last Olympics, will be one of the judges this afternoon. Harold, who is at present studying In this institution, now ranks as the second fastest sprinter in the Dominion, bowing only to blond Bert Pearson of Hamilton. Students wiU have the rare privUege of seeing this speedster run on Saturday at the Oval, when he will attempt to shatter existing records in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. He should have no trouble since, ln Nanalmo recently he reeled off the century in 9.7-10. Other officials for the meet .will be Doctor Davidson who has so unselfishly helped the Track Club in the past, and Doctor Shrum, long associated with athletics in this institution.
