HOGTOWN vs. FOGTOWN EZRA WHEATCROFT Skaol, Baru In Intellectual Clash "Skoal" cried the conservative-minded, tradition-bound, sickenly-flanneled invaders from the veddy, veddy proper East. "Baru . . . Because!" screamed the tra- ditionless, gridiron-innnocent upstarts from the West. And so did the epic football spectacle of the century takest place on the hallowed turf of Johnny Owen Stadium, pitting together University of Toronto (Blues, scourge of Hogtown, and our own, beloved, belabored and belicked Boids, representatives of Fog- town. And now, as the sun sinks slowly behind Erwin Swangard, if you kiddies will gather around, being careful not to crush your crinolines nor soil your pink shirts, Uncle Ezra will deliver his annual intellectual dissertation on the philosophical background a'nd cultural connotation of the grand old game of feetball. *. * * "Skaol" is the traditional chug-a-lug cry and marching and chowder song of suds- sloppers. everywhere. It is also the name of the Engineering Undergraduate Society at Toronto, the rather spirited group of young lads'who were fined $4000 and suspended one year after 200 of their freshmen went berserk on a "get acquainted" tour of the campus and ripped up furniture, tore down signs, overturned cars, slugged a prof and generally had a ball. This all bodes well of a grand time this Saturday if Toronto's footballers have one- third the protoplasm of their thick-skulled sciencemen. The "Baru" business will do for the moment to serve as a rallying cry for followers of the Thunderbirds and is Uncle Ezra's personal recommendation for a retaliatory slogan whilst drowning suds with Toronto supporters after yon gridiron battle. Now Dr. Rdbert Hutchins has expressed belief that his Excited States of America is the only country in the world to get football mixed up with higher education. Now I'll bet my pass-key to the women's dorms that this is one of the few institutes of every- upwards-and-onwards learning that escapes Dr. Hutchins complaint. We is, to use a My Canine Has Vermin term, as pure as the driven snow. Even compared to Toronto the Good's gridiron gargantuas. *r tt tT Disregarding the illiterate mumblings from Blowhard Richard Bedclothes, the Metaphor Mangier of Beatty Street, your wise, omnipotent and just plain potent Uncle drains the last fetid drop from his plaster of pans crystal ball and predicts Thunderbirds will rise to the occasion and vanquish Varsity Blues in the brew battle Saturday night at the Shrine of Cece's Loaded Tray. *r *r *r Boids' showing Saturday just could determine the future of the perennial-dream-- a Canadian intercollegiate football league linking UBC with the prairie universities. And on this rousing note we will end our treatise with the school yell of the Wheat- cropt-founded Varsity Indoor Club: Knit one; purl two UBC Thunderbirds, Yoo-Hoo.

My god, 1 tliink I love her... she's so warm, so unlike the usual standoffish woman. I must phone her." Elder Brother: "Phone her'.' Phone wlio?" John Brown: "Mary Smith.

Andrew has declined to comment on charges of employment discrimination levelled against the administration Monday by campus Communist leader Archie McGugan. Said Dean Andrew Tuesday: t\ "I have no comment to make." | "l McGugan first made his charges at a Student Christian Movement meeting accusing the University of refusing to hire professors with Communist ideals. The Labor-Progressive party leader reiterated his charges Wednesday offering "proof" of the accusation. NO HELP WANTED "In Canada it is the announced policy of the Association of University Presidents not to hire Communist teachers," he said. McGugan said he knew of two "qualified men" who cannot get university appointments because of their political views. "And there are others,' he stated. He pointed to the absence of avowed Marxists or Communist professors on this University's staff. GUIDING LIGHT "Marxist philosophy guides the lives of one third of mankind and has millions of supporters in the rest of the world." "It can be argued that it is still a minority opinion here," he continued, "but UBC has recently appointed a Catholic professor to its philosophy staff to present the minority Thomist view." McGugan cited names of "distinguished Marxist scholars" on university staffs in Great Bri-0'*^een cloSSOS ANDREWS—-No Commant tain. He mentioned J. B. S. Haldane of London University, Thompson of Birmingham, Farrington of Cardiff, Hill of Oxford and Dobb of Cambridge. GENTLEMEN McGugan attacked the "barring of qualified men by gentlemen's agreements if not actual loyalty oaths." Reverend Bob Ripley, SCM head, said Wednesday it was unfortunate McGugan made hi.s charges under their sponsorship. McGugan's topic was "Man's Place in the Universe."

The undesirability of such a situation in a university—which is supposedly the bastion of freedom of thought— is beyond debate. Liberals throughout North America and in Canada, and in Canada particularly, have found the loyalty oath and firing at American colleges deplorable in the extteme. Yet Dean Andrews has declined to deny that communists are barred from the faculty here at UBC. Perhaps he feels he should sccorn such a charge if it comes from a communist. But we would point out that such a charge could ultimately come only from a communist. Moreover, such an atitude would hint strongly that discrimination against communists indeed exists at UBC. Mr. McGugan's charges are far from fully substantiated. But we hope Dean Andrew will yet set our minds at ease. Lets Be Selfish We are extremely suspicious of Lands and Forests Minister R. E. Sommers' statement to a Hope audience, that the Kaiser dam proposal wouldn't be carried through unless the U.S. bought natural gas from the Peace River. Did the minister hope to convey the impression that our government is getting us a good deal in the Arrow Lakes ! proposal by demanding! such an exchange. The two are in almost no way related. Furthermore, our 'Peace River gas has been as good as sold for several weeks. And Mr. Sommers knew this. If the lands minister must resort to such tactics in order to sell the Kaiser proposal'to the public, it is immediately doutbful whether thet proposal has any merits of its own. Attorney-General Robert Bonnerhas since gazed judicially at both the dam and pipeline proposals and argued that * hydro-electric power is no different from natural gas: If we export one, why not export the other? And his argument is bolstered by the fact that natural gas reserves are limited, while hydro-electric power is unlimited. It might be added also that, in the midst of the present squabble, electricity is at this moment being exported to the State of Washington by the B.C. Electric. Yet the objections to the proposed deal with the Kaiser Aluminum Corporation, despite Mr. Bonner's argument, can be supported by one assertion: As a business propdsition, it isn't very good. We'd be selling ourselves down the Columbia River. As far as we can make out the proposal, we are to turn dyer a vast source of energy for perpetual U.S. use, in exchange for a one-fifth share and $250,000 per year. It 'is well-known that the Kaiser corporation—along with the entire American northwest—is starved for power. We can dictate our own terms. We should either force Kaiser to build a plant within B.C., and therefore swell our own economy, or else jack the price up—and make the deal effective for a limited time only. If neither are acceptable, we can wait and use the power ourselves. Selfish Again New Zealand politicians aro reported as "shocked" at the advance of the country's Social Credit party in the recent national elections, in which one-eighth of the vote went to the Socreds. Canada's Social Credit party is unlikely to do as well in the next federal election. But party members guarantee they will win government control in a very few years. This is a frightening thought, considering that the monetary theory they intend to put into practise has been ridiculed by almost every economist of note, With a somewhat selfish and nationalistic outlook, we are waiting for the Kiwi Socreds to beat the Canadians to it. The New Zealand public will then be the guinea pig, Compatability United States' latest propaganda message about "Russia" is that country's threat to our solar system. This latest effort illustrates USA's propaganda predicament. It is really very funny. Their particular problem seems to be to convince the average American that United States is no weak power militarily and simultaneously prove that Russia has caught up —or is catching up. They must generate nervousness or oven fear and at the same time give assurance of certain victory in the event of war. Il may have been always thus but it strikes us that the USA seems at limes to lack some propaganda co-ordination.

The President made his report over the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Tuesday night. WriHifHand Some Questions Editor, The Ubyssey; In a recent issue of your newspaper you printed a frontpage s^ory telling of events consequent upon the "dismissal" of a Mr. C. Pi Armour from the position of Camp Porter at Acadia Camp. Your story left me with the impression that Mr. Armour's, dismissal might possibly have been at the unjust instigation of a Dr. G. M. Shrum. Since the position of Acadia Camp Porter is one of some responsibility and since Dr. Sbrum is certainly a very well- known figure on this campus, I was interested in this matter and looked forward to the appearance of more facts on it. However, in a more recent edition of your newspaper I find you have printed an apology to Dr. Shrum for any embarrassment your story may have caused him. Specifically, you state that Mr. Armour was not dismissed but that he was "retired" and that it was not Dr. Shrum who retired him but that it was the UBC Personnel Department. Now these two things are not very relevant to the question of whether or not an injustice, was done. If there ls a relevant implication at all, it is the implication that, if there was wsong done ,the responsibility lor that wrong lies with the Personnel Department. But I find it hard to believe that you mean to imply that. No. Your apology would appear to be essentially an apology for having reported the facts incorrectly. If so, you owe the apology not just to Dr. Shrum but to all your other readers as well. But you have left the main questions unanswered. Regardless of whether or not your original story was incorrect on details, the main questions remain: 1. Was Mx. Armour's pre- mature retirement unjust? Or was it not? 2. If it was unjust then upon whose recommendation was the retirement made? Wat it Dr. Shrum'.? Or were others involved? Or was no one involved at ell? More briefly, just what the h~- happened? If a wrong has been done then let us discover it. The function of a newspaper is the funtion of Tiresias.

It all started with a Dr. Alfred Smee, the bank's Medical Officer in 1850, who made up the original prescription. The doctor was also the perpetrator of the bank's ink which though not quite the same thing, was near enough to cause confusition. The formula appeared to consist of equal parts of toot, vinegar and glue. To get rid of "the fur", the bank's pens had to be agitated in bowls containing lead shot. You'll find neither cholera mixture nor Smee's ink at any branch of the Royal Bank, but you WILL encounter a few things of a more useful nature. Like Savings Accounts, Money Orders.

EXPERIMENTAL DRAMA Freddy Wood Overlooked By SYLVIA SHORTHOUSE Students and faculty are passing u\? the opportunity to see new, classical and experimental theatre on the campus. This was emphasized by temporary Frederic Wood Theatre production manager, Joy Coghill, in a private interview Tuesday. "Unless we have the support of the students and faculty members, the theatre will become simply a training ground for youjng aetojfs and actresses," Mfisa Coghill said. EXPERIMENTAL Dedicated to experimental and box-office productions, the campus Frederic Wood Theatre, Was converted from a snack bar in 1049. It was formed due largely to the efforts of Dean Gage and Dorothy Sommerset of the English Department, in honor of Frederic Wood, founder of Canada's oldest continuous theatrical group, the UBC Players Club. The theatre was established primarily to give students and faculty a chance to see experimental drama which they could not see elsewhere, Miss Coghill explained. "I believe many don't even know where or what the Frederic Wood Theatre is," she added. BRAIN TRUST The small one hundred seat theatre was built through the efforts and endowments of fifty theatre minded faculty member* and Vancouver citizens. Foremost among them was the "Brain Trust" of President MacKenzie, Justice G. V. Clyne, Chancellor Sherwood Lett, Dean Walter Gage and Dean G. E. Andrews. Under the supervision of Dorothy Sommerset, the theatre had its opening success in the presentation of Barle Bir- ney's "Damnation of Vancouver." BOOKS ond SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINES From Germany.

They have good reason to b eapprehensive. Unless one of our fair Western gales crops up between now and Saturday, to blow the field at Johnny Owen Stadium dry, UBC's football faithful will be watching the Bird's maiden performance as mudders. Joyfully for their stock, this week the Birds' heavy practice schedule has been staged in the slop, so no one can say we will go to bat complete strangers to the stuff. For a team that plays on the west coast of North America, to pass the entire season without having to face a wet field is rare indeed, but that dry state is just what the Birds have played in all season. »*__., So much for apprehension of untried quantities. RAIN? WE LOVE THE STUFF Though the rain will be hard on spectators, it may improve UBC's chances of a win. Part of Toronto's attack, which is one of the East's most powerful, is usually launched in the air, so much so, that in one game the passers clicked for 387 yards. The pass defense'of the Birds has been shown over the season to be only fair. A slippery ball would be quite an aid to that defense. But Toronto coach Bob Masterson has a simple formula for his attack. If he fails to move his club via the airways he sends them along the ground, a route which they find fairly open. If Bob, who in his day was no mean ball player himself, has to resort to the lower route, he will be forced to play our kind of ball. ON THE GROUND? LET 'EM COME The ground defense of the Birds is solid. More than one coach of the other conference teams has commented on the shaking up his plunging shock troops suffered at the hands of the UBC defenders. Some of the hardrocks the Birds will face Saturday are among the fair-haired boys of Eastern football. Half-back 'Steve One- schuck is considered the finest itwo way and all-round ball player in the league, and established a scoring record of 22 points against McGill. Fullback Phil Muntz is ticketed as the league's finest in his department, and was the spark of Varsity's win over Queen's. Last year his ground gained average was the league's highest. Blue's kick runner and one of the East's fastest backs is John Sopinka, whose name will go down in history as the scorer of the touchdown that produced the East's first triple tie. HORSES? IT'S THE WHIPS WE WORRY ABOUT The big horses up front will be led by guards Bobby Waugh and Baz Mackie, tackles Walt Radzick and Alec Macklin, and centre John Prendergast, called one of the top defensive linebackers in the league. Blues ends Fred Smith and Don Smale are part of the league's top five. Smale, however, is out with three cracked ribs and probably will not see action. Behind this impressive array, and operating out of the T or even a spread formation, will be quarterbacks Bill Stevenson and Harry Wilson. Masterson has been hard put to choose between the two all season. Stevenson is the long tosser and Wilson carries the rank of field general. This array hits town Thursday night. If they aren't wined and dined out of shape by Saturday, we should be seeing the best offense the East has to offer. Birds Face S. Martin's Weekend Jack Pomfret's Thunderbirds get their first taste of American competition Friday and Saturday, nights when they face the St. Martin's College Rangers, a team afflicted with the same rookie-enitess that plagues the Birds. So far, Pomfret's new man problem has not bothered the Birds too much. If the Rangers have had as much success, the weekend series will be fairly close though the Birds will enter as favorites. Birds will dress the same crew ihat performed so well last week. Coach Jake Connelly's Rangers will come out with only one starter from last year, and only four lettermen. But he has promised some good ball from his new stock. Some of his trouble has been solved by 67" centre Bob For- bis, all-state in Aberdeen high- school. Jake, who ls also Athletic Director at the Olympia school, will be placing most of his hopes on Skhp Olson, who sank 48 percent of his field goal attempts last year in and is the only home brew boy on the club. Birds split with the Rangers last year. O'Connell Only UBC All-Star UBC's only contribution to the Evergreen Conference al- star list, tackle Kevin O'Connell will not be dressed for Saturday's game against the Blues. The 19 year old star, playing his first year of football, injured his ankle November 6 against Central, and will be in a cast for some days. O'Connell, in making the list carried; as the Birds honor over from last year when guard Bob Brady made the first team and halfback Jack Hutchinson, though out half the season with an injured leg, made the second team. No Victory Hope Rowers Face Washington By PETE WORTHINGTON While the colorful drama of the "Little Grey Cup of the West" is being enacted at UBC Stadium on Saturday, November 20, Varsity's Rowing Club will be "down-under" at Seattle, battling the world-rated University of. Washington crew. This meet is definitely a "practice" round for Varsity. There is virtually no hope of acually defeating the Washington eight, and it would be unfair to judge the BEG champions on their next Saturday's showing. Why? ... Because: READ MISSING One; UBC has been training without the services of their coach, Frank Read, for most of the season, due to his broken ankle. Two; their "coach boat" has been on the disabled list too, and assistant coach, John Warren, has had to send the crew out to train alone, or stick to the barges. NO SHELL Three; and thc main reason, is lack of actual ".shell" rowing. That is to say, time .spent in their shell, coordinating and smoothing their style. For example, prior to the Empire Games, UBC rowed approximately 800 "shell" miles. In ed but 10 to 15 miles. All the rest have been in the barges. Four; the conditions for practice are most awkward, to say the least. When the fogs, rains and other Vancouver climate contortions permit, the fanatical rowers ply their blades at a dastardly 5 a.m. at the rowing club. NO WRITE-OFF So do not write UBC off as BEG "flashes-in-the-pan" if they fail to conquer Washington this time. By next spring the crew will bear little resemblance to their present state. In fact if UBC loses Saturday it will put them in the pleasant role of "dark-horses" in next summer's races at California. A disguised blessing. In the "prelims" Saturday, the Junior Varsity crew competes against Washington's JV, and the University of Oregon's eight. The Rowing Club motto for the week is: Wash Us Rinse Washington,' and crew members say this with heads bowed prior to meals; especially Acadian Camp meals. Probable starters for the "Great Eight" of UBC, will be Ken Drummond at stroke; Thomas Michael "Abbotsford's Own" Harris; Tom Toynbee; Herman "Joe" Zloklikovits; Laurie West; Phil Kueber; Bill Hughes and Bob Wilson at bow. Cox'n All save Kueber and Hughes are Vedder veterans. :U FILMSOC Q 'J=-l\ For Students And Staff Onlv/ ,\j '<] ~ TO-DAY 12:30 ALEC GUINNESS in ... KIND HEARTS and CORONETS . . .

In a game that was tight all the way, UBC held a 34-31 half time lead, were even 46 all at three-quarter time, then broke out to rack up their final period victory, with two field baskets and seven free tosses.

Ji First Frame Slump Costs Birds Win A ghastly first period of confused disorganization cost UBC's hockey Thunderbirds their first victory against Vancouver Velvets at the Forum Wednesday night. Birds battled to the short end of a 5-3 score, with the damage being done in the opening session, when the Velvets pumped in 3 goals. DOWN 4-0 At the start of the second period Birds showed little improvement, as Vancouver added another marker that gave them a 4-0 edge. From that moment on coacb, Ricardo Mitchell's wards sparked into life. Led by the rampaging rushes of Mike Giroday on defence, they fought the Velvets to a standstill. McCULLOCH STARRTED IT At 9.08 Hugh McCulloch blasted an angle shot into the net for Varsity's first score. Five minutes later Bob Geigerich deflected Nagle's shot nto the cage to make the score 4-2. One minute before the middle frame ended, Vancouver's Mills scored his second ^goal to make the score 5-2.

Apart from the fearsome first period, where they resembled mice against men, Birds were the better squad in all departments, save the goal scoring one.
