Seniors Stoical At Class Draw mmm am mi mm n trjmiSRi Students In the final year of all faculties bowed themselves for ths last time to tho rules of the great game of "Who-ja" whon they attondod the Senior Glass Draw In Ap. Bo. 100, at noon on Tuesday. Tho mooting was conducted with all tho reserve and decorum that might he expected of a senior draw, Baciam* atlons of p(ty and sighs ot relief wore tow, as council members, editors, cluh presidsnts and others heard tholr sentences pronounced. An ooeasiongl burst ot merriment or surprise, how* over, greeted tho announcement of pairs to whom tho "luck of tho draw" was particularly considerate and con* slderante amusement was evinced when tho name of a prominent agricultural student was drawn from among thoso of the fair sex. Despite the predominance ot men In the faculties ot Boionoo and Ai ettlture, tho girls were slightly in tiajority and the fortunate fow wi row blinks will be accorded tie Privilege ot selecting tholr own part- hen.

Outstanding items Inoludod Mr. Haydn Williams' trumpet solos, a full orchestral number from tho opera "Monsieur Beancaire" of the well-known sextette trom "Lucia di Lammer* moor." Tho program was opened with the "Monsieur Beaucalre" selections staged by tho Musical Society's eight- piece orchestra in a pleasantly dell* cate style, well adapted to the powdered and periwigged dignity of the period of that opera. George Holland played the familiar "Light Cavalry Overture" by Suppe, with considerable Are and spirit on his accordion, and followed It up with Verdi's "Miserere," a dramatic composition which appears to have been especially created for the medium of the piano-accordion. The short encore, "Song of the Nile," provided a light and effective conclusion to Mr. Holland's performance. The Aeolian Trio, Misses Dorothy McKay (violin). Margaret Bennett (solo), and Kileett Negus (piano), while displaying a fair amount of technique, ware rather noticeably lacking ln fooling and richness of tone. The rendering of the "Lucia di Lam- mermoof" sextette was somehow lacking in finished polish, although well- received. This composition has boon somewhat oversung in late fears. Those taking part, wore the Misses Larson and Crawford, as well as Messrs. Dovey, Hendry, Warr and James. Mr. Williams' trumpet selections wero also well received. Perhaps his Drat "Pale Moon" was better suited to string instruments. An announcement was mads regarding the Washington Olee Singers, whose concert the Musioal Society is sponsoring, and the students were urged to attend.

One member of the cluh is a crew man, another won laurels in inter* collegiate boxing, and another Is on the technical staff of the University Players, the dramatic organisation., One member won third place ia tbe national Atwater*Kent Radio Audition that was hold recently. Two members sing for radio programs, one plays a pipe-organ In a Seattle church, and another pays for his education by conducting a Jass orchestra. Two members have been booked tentatively to appear next vacation with Fanchon ft Marco. One member Is a piano soloist and another a prominent young violinist. Two members of the club were members of last year's Varsity Quartet that was heard over the national radio network of the American Broadcasting Company. Ballet Dancing and Pentomlme According to C. W. Lawrence, director of the club, there Is reason for choosing such a versatile group to present the program that Is being given on the club's thirtieth annual tour. Ballet dancing, pantomime, operatic acting, horseback riding, military drill, and. incidentally, singing, are all a part of the show. While the Russian motif runs through out, there ls a groat deal of variety in the evening's entertainment that is offered. Glassies, Russian folk songs and solo numbers are inter- spread with fcomedy skits and humorous acts that provide frequent laughs tor the audience. Unique Staging iffeeta The entire performance is done with tho aid ot unique staging and lighting effects designed by John A. Conway, head ot the Department of Dramatic Art at the University ot Washington. The singers appear ln Russian costume instead of the con* ventlal evening dress, thus adding color to the show. Tbe oast of tbe performance of the University of Washington Oloe Olub Is as follows: First tenors; Carl Franklin, James Lasater, Orant Murphy, frank Hayes, Lloyd Simpson, and Ivefett Qmyt seoond tenors: Maurice Bmart, Oeorge Cloud, Bradford Hall, and Peter Bar* don: baritones; John Rarig, Jaok Do Merchant Frank Xeraohaa, aad Jaok Dingle: basses; Brio Hurnblad, Wai* ter Weber, Darwin Thompson, ipi-aer Hoffnauer and Floyd Norm Accompanying the olub WlU be Prof. Charles W.

A QUESTION OF SIZE There are Indication, that this University is not so wanting In unity as the bemoaners of a lack of college spirit would usually lead one to suppose. It 1* true that there is much to be desired in the way of enthusiasm, and student apathy is distressingly apparent. One frequently hears* however, from Alumni who tire studying at Baatern universities that the larger a college 1§, the more apt there ia to be little connection between the component parts inch as the executives, the students, and the faoulty. Although their old Alma Mater is lacking in an easy cosmopolitan outlook, and auffers from a taint of provincialism, they frequently contrast its fairly unified spirit with the depressing need of any common interest among the students of a large university. -. Here it ia possible to know a great many of the more out* standing people in the student body, and to have some personal acquaintance with the faculty outside of class rooms. In a large Inalitutloti public figures are qf little Interest to a minority, and i%S cdntact between professor and student, except in the case Ot honor studonts, doea not exist. The difficulty of securing support for college activities, also, apparently grows in direct proportion to the population. On these grounds, that they happen to attend a-emall university is a thing o\% which the undergraduates may congratulate themselves. ,o . e o e : e WELCOME, WaSHINgTON! ' We welcome with pleasure the members of the Unlveralty of Washington Olee Olub, who are coming to Vancouver to hold a concert on Monday in the University Auditorium. The visit of these representatives of our nearest neighbouring university win be an interesting event because It ls an unusual example of college enterprise. The concert, Judging by what is heard from advanoe notices, is worthy of student support for the most valid reason anything Is worthy of support—it promises excellent entertainment.

Editor, Tbe Ubyssey, Dear Sir, In the editorial column ot your paper dated January 21, 1930, is an article entitled "Enervating Education," which, I am sure, strikes a responsive note ln not a few of your readers. I think perhaps the biggest want in the Education system ot our province lies In the training, or more accurately the lack of training, in the High School teachers. Teaching methods in the elementary schools, ln up-to-date systems, bave alao changed amusing- iy. Most High School teachers of tne present day are University graduates. Their University training' haa given them a more complete background in their particular subject or subjects. They have, therefore, more, time to devote to the understanding of their pupils and to the planning of how they may best present the subject *o the pupils. / • • .One would expect a course leading to a teaohihg certificate, (the highest that can be granted in the province), to train the embryo teacher* In HOW TO TEAOH their individual subjects, so that when they made a otart, they would know something of modern methods, so different even from those of five to eight years ago when they themselves wore High School stu* dents. I also think that an up-to-date edu* caUonal system should make provision for the teachers who faithfully do thAir tl)Os)t througbouA the term, and than, at their own expense, spend at least seven'Weeks ot thetr precious ten-week Summer vacation at Summer Bossion, hoping to get soma fresh inspiration and new ideas in teaching tbelr subject. . Might it not be possible to have classes in TEACHING METHODS (not just a "rehash of flrat year University subjects" as one of tho Education students deaoMboa It), but Teaching Methods tor eaoh subject taught In High Schools? Might these classes not bo given at times when teachers who wish to keep up-to-date might avail themselves of the opportunity? I do not believe that most teachern wish to stagnate, Stagnation is being forced upon them. I know a case of a graduate who had a great love and enthusiasm for one of the sciences taught ln High Schools. The course In Education ls so arranged that this would-be teacher could not specialize In this science. There were no classes ln methods for teaching that science. The student was told that In his (or her) particular case, the Major would have to be Latin, and the Minor, Mathematics. This was perfectly ridiculous, as the student had a very Inadequate background In theae subjects. But what can a mere teacher doT It seems very apparent that lt our course in Education ts to mean anything to us, It, In Itself, will have to adopt more modern methods, in order to meet the needs of present day teachers. Sincerely, J.E.D., Arts '2.. sera LOST—Ladles' black fountain pen, gold band. Return to book store. Reward. To the Editor of the Ubyssey, bear Sir, We, the executive of the Class of Education '30 wish to assure our fellow students of the other faculties tbat the editorial "Enervating Education'* appearing in the Ubyssey of January 21 does not represent the opinion of the class, Further, we cannot agree with such a method of gaining improvement, if this Is its purpose, We are confident that the vast majority of the class would be willing to take their complaints direct to the persons concerned and not seek to hide their Identity behind an anonymous editorial.

Debating at this university has come In for considerable discussion lately, and various suggestions have been made as to how greater student Interest can be aroused In this activity. I would like to make a suggestion that I do not think has been advanced before: why don't both sides decide on the meaning and scope of the subject before they begin to argue about lt? * ' .; . If this were done debates would be more Interesting. It seems that debat* ing teams take great delight in expounding their interpretation of tlie question and showing that the argu* ments of their opponents are irrelevant, acording to such Interpretation, Not to be outdone, tbe opponents take the first opportunity to disclose their) view of the meaning of the, subjoctj and so the quibbling goes merrily on. In the end, both sides sometimes find tbat they are practically agreed, and the debates appears rather futile to the audience. It seemed to me that thle was the case ln the Alberta debate, and I remember there was similar bickering In the New Zealand debate, last term—clever at times, but not very satisfactory. ' My suggestion is, that both sides should agree beforehand on the Interpretation of- the subjeot of the de-. bate, and go into battle with a clear understanding of their positions.

The encounter started briskly with Dunn going down the floor for a graceful tall right under the basket, only to recover In time to trip fonr of tbe oposltion. Doug Maodenald's toam quickly countered this danger* ous play by employing the gone re* fenoe which absolutely confounded both teams. Brasier bold up the play for a few minutes while he decided on the problem, "Resolved that It ts better to pass than to shoot for a basket." The play resumed with North making a daring bid tor sucoess by throwing the ball In the stalwart MoLarty's face. This ruse failed to gain the desired points. Hutchison, Council's resourceful treaaurer, saved tbe day by a won* dortu) display of football tactics when ho trapped the ball oo the Musmsns's ons yard tine and made a gallant try for two points (discounted at 8%), Munn again took the meeting in hand to send Brasier down.tbe boards for the flrat soore of the game, Another two points scored in quick time by Munn gate the ebullient councilmen a lead ot four points. Pollock remedied this state of affairs by scoring a basket while his opponents stood aghast at the thought oi being witnesses ot a miracle.
