First Of Series Hits Lack Of U Thinking (This is first of a six-article series on the contemporary crisis in university education by Vbyssey editor-in-chief Les Armour. Thursday Mr. Armour will discuss the trend toward technical education.) By LES ARMOUR Ubyssey Editor-in-Chief Several miles of B.C. forest have been laid waste in the last jfjeaf" to provide paper for think-piece writers who devote themselves to pointing out that the national culture is just plain non-existent. Even more trees have lilt tha dust to make room for men who maintain that North American society, with its roots firrmly wrapped around noiseless flush toilets and cadillacs with sldewalls, ls productive mostly of peptic ulcers and customers for rows of chroma- plated looney bins. All of these learned gentlemen, unhappily, are probably quite right —■ except for the minor detail that the very fact that they are writing this stuff has a tendency to belle them. A society which questions its direction and goals has, at least the nucleus of revolution within lt. What disturbs us, however, ls the fact that our universities, packed with technical education and moribund with professors of the humantles who mistake pedantry for scholarship, are being shunted above by society. A university by tradition dedicated to the search for truth, ought to be the dynamic force within society. Yet our universities, intent upon providing efficient engineers, businessmen, cooks, cowpokes and lawyers, appear to passively represent the trends with society. We have no quarrel with technical education, as such, but we shudder to see it take full possession of our universities to the point where honest enquiry becomes a mere appendage regarded as lux ury. Should Be Dynamic Force Halfs Levy ' WINNIPEG — (CUP) — University of Manitoba has voted to cut Its NFCUS assessment from 20 cents to 10 cents per student, for this year at l©L*.*»t. The move was made In the race of a budget which left the student treasurer almost no operating surplus on which to work. The stipulation was mi.de that the full 20 cent grant should go into effect, If finances at the end of the year permit. However, it i« considered highly unlikely that this could bo done. We become virtually despairing when we see the attitudes of tTiose in charge of departments devoted to the humanities when we note students forced to swallow miles of meaningless facts to be parroted hack In proper order on stere- typed examinations. The sight of English professors who dissect poems as though they were beetles ln a laboratory, of sociology, professors who talk as though our existing mores and Institutions were paragons of the ages to be preserved against rot at all costs of philosophy professors who talk as though the thinkers of history were mere prop- ounders of technical Jig-saw puzzles of no significance to everyday living positively revolts us. Action Needed Immediately The situation, In fact, has progressed to the point where immediate action is required. Things are not yet hopeless It is still possible for a UUC student with the luck of the gods to listen to Blr ney read poetry, Savery thoughtfully pull the world situation to pieces and Rose make the burning of John Has an event of sufficient significance to eclipse INS's latest account of the Chicago sex murders. *llut students will have to do some serious thinking if ediicatliin is not to go the stagnant way of the Chinese empires. We attack these problems not because we hav.; any more an swers than the co-ed in the next seat—but because we are frankly alarmed and because we think It's high time students woke up and did some thinking. In the next issues we shall dig Into them one by' one. The results will not rival the latest issue of Collossal Comics for reader interest but they might provide the odd jolt.

All Germany To Pay Fees For Canadian Students Two full scholarships for Canadian students to study in Germany next year have been announced by ISS. The German Federal Republic has awarded to World University Service (ISS) two scholarships tenable at any. university or institute of higher learning in western Germany for the 1952-53 academic year. Fees will be paid, if not by the university, by the German Federal Republic and travelling expenses will be paid from Gernan frontier to the university and return. . NO RESTRICTIONS There are no restrictions on the scholarships with regard to race, sex, nationality, religious or political belief. Preference will be given to those already advanced in their studies or who have completed their normal studies and wish to spend a year in further specialized study. The Oerman student community ln Its present situation has found lt difficult to make any large-scale contributions to Oerman students studying abroad in Canada and ln other countries. This problem of aiding and supporting Oerman refugee student is too great to permit the diversion of resources outside Germany at the present time. TOKEN EXPRESSION Therefore In view of these difficulties the Oerman Federal'TJbv- eminent bas offered these scholarships on behalf of all German students as a token expression if the appreciation felt for the work of IS£I Ih the'German universities during the past six years. Applications for these scholarships should be made through ISS. Cheffins Debating For UBC OILING HIS vocal cords in preparation for the Mc- Goutr Cup debate is Ron Cheffins.

The action came after the ?roup was found guilty of having an obscene sign on their flout. The fraternity president said that the sign was not an official part if the float and he had no idea who put it there. The change against the Delta Upsilon fraternity said that sev- 3mil members of the organization, posing as Stanford men, were passing out pieces of toilet paper to the crowd and carrying a sign which said, "Tickets to the' Bowl." camera fans Interested In going are asked to attend the meeting. •* * * The controversial problem of Retail Price Fixing will be discussed by M.P.

Its No Puzzle A COTC official admitted to a Ubyssey editor that his *jL unit's current recruiting drive has "not proved too successful." He expressed considerable bewilderment as to why the glittering inducements currently being offered have not brought flocks of students to the fold. To us, the wonder of it is that it has had any results whatsoever. In the minds of thinking students there are two immediate questions: b a military force condusive to the tnaiittalnance and strengthening of world peace and; Is membership in a military orgnttfoztion which demands immediate and Unquestioning obedience of the - "interiof" to his superiors compatible with university education which demands a completely open mind directed only toward the search for truth? , Both of these are highly debatable questions to which no off-hand answers can be given. If the COTC is to succeed in its recruiting drive it must provide well-reasoned answers. 9 Scare campaigns highlighting thc possibility of war and urging the student to get a commission while the getting s goes so that he won't get caught with his pipe down in a slit trench will not lure many students. Campaigns offering high wages, little work and much glory are even worse. It's hightime the COTC changed its tune. Information, Please RUMOUR has it (and the empty chair speaks for itself) that John deWolf has a little trouble attending council meetings. Granted Council's meetings nre not the most stimulating of engagements but in acceptor)? office Mr. deWolf did engage a certain responsibility towards the student body, his fellow LSE members, and the Student Council. We are given to understand th»t the Special Events Committee of LSE has undertaken nn ambitious program lor this year, and wish them every success, but wishes are no substitute for box-office returns. The student body can hardly be expected to support an event it knows nothing about. So, come now, Mr. deWolf, a little more information on LSE activities, if you please. We're interested. Definition, Please IT IS high time Jack Linott looked up a dictionary to see what the verb "to co-ordinate" really means. Up to the present his handling of the job has been more in the line of "registrar of activities." Under present procedure anyone can hold a meeting at any time provided he is lucky enough to find Lintott in his office. Mussocs held a banquet and dance last Friday night .... in Brock Hall. The organizers were very pleased to learn that WUS were authorized to hold a dance the same night —in the same place. In the past Lintott has at least managed to keep conflicting programs from taking place in the same roorn. However, we think a coordinator should (be able to do more than that. Let's have some real coordination for a change, Mr. Lintott. Bills Bother Bookstore WE HAD to wait ten minutes in a line-up the other day to buy a couple of filing folders.

HOW TO GET ALONG AT UNIVRSITY. Chapter II: How to beat the Library. They tell the story at the University of Western Ontario of the Honor Chemistry graduate who boasted he had obtainM his degree ' without ever setting foot in the main library of that inst'tution. But most of us, at one time or another, havo to face up to lt and enter the book factory, located Just behind the Illy pond on the Main Mail. ON FIRST ENTERING, there are a few who forget to leave the revolving door until it has made a complete turn, but those who make lt stilt have many obstacles to face before they can take out a book or do any studying. There are three main rooms in the library; the Reference room, which is for studying in; the Reserve Book room, which is for studying in; and the Main Reading room, whioh is for studying in. A judicious choice of room Is necessary for mo*- ituum results In working, If you will paruon the expression. For' instance, the Reference room Is the most modern looking of the lot and T&ntalriT a relatively stable population. Tbe natives u*re a friendly bunch and love to visit wffh their neighbors, if you are the extro** vertlsh type, this room is for you. THE RESERVE BOOK room ls stnailler and more cos mopolluui. Its Inhabitants are always, on the move—usually In quest of a book which they thought was on reserve but which Isn't now so you will have to go up to the main desk, please. If you are In a hurry and are partial to lots of activity this is your cookie. Medieval is my description of the Main reading room. Here tho atmosphere Is more easygoing and other-worldly. If you are not subject to fits of depression the high vaulted ceiling and portraits of UBC dignitaries should fit you to a "T", particularly if you tend towards introversion. Once you havo chosen your site and found a seat" (unoccupied, preferably), you must acclimatize yourself to your neighbors. This consists of staring at the person opposite you for at least five minutes so that you will not be tempted to sneak a look in the nfHlttte of the Wife of Bath's Tale or from the deptlTS" or your Psychology Made Easy. IP YOUR ACROSS TABLE neighbor is aa attractive member of the other sex, increase the staring time to 10 minutes, or move to another seat, or give up the idea of Studying for the time being. Then open your book's, scatter your notes ln an Impressive array, and someone will be sure to come"'and persuade you its time to go for coffee. If you should want a book from the main desk always remember the first book you ask for will be out, and the second one will be down ln the reserve room. Therefore put the book you want most on the third slip you make out and hand lt to the librarian. When you finally get down to work, you still have to contend with the floater. The floater spends hla or her' time visiting friends In the library. The vis- Its consist of long animated conversations varying in volume from a nvurmer to a small shout. THERE ARE THREE ME- th-ods of dealing with the floater's conversation, which usually directed to the person across the table from you: (a) the cold stare—effective ln only 10 per cent of the cases, (h) the throat clearing—good for most cases, (c) thft direct request— condemned by" Da*le Carnegie, especially when framed in the most effective words: "Will you please shut up."

Out Reader Write... Editor, Tha Ubyasey Perhaps your readers wil re- nteihber an appeal made through your editorial pages last term— the appeal for support from campus clubs for the Labor Committee's proposed by-law to outlaw racial discrimination. Perhaps, in this new yea*r it might bo wise to remnd ourselves that the light for justice for all humanity can, and must be started on the local level. The Anti-Discrimination by-law Is now before City Council, i:*nd now is the time for us at the university to «how that wo appreciate the value of our freedoms (limited as they am),* and that what we wish for ourselves we wish for till. The question has been given an added urgency from the fact that when the by-law appeared to have no strenuous opposition from the council, the Vancouver Boa>rd of Trade suddenly asked to examine it, which it is now doing. Inasmuch as It Is possible, not necesarily probable, that the Board will oppose this progressive, necessary step, I would urge any ci.*mpus organizations or Individuals who realise the importance of the move to write letters in support of the by-law to; Special Committee on Anti Discrimination By-Law, c/o The City Clerk, City H«U„ Vancouver 10, B.C.

Axe-Crime At WOLFVILLE, N.S.— (CUP) — The most morbid crime in the annals of Acadia history was discovered when the mutilated remains of a young body was found on the Acadia campus, it. was an a\e shying.

French Dinner Scores Success Le Gall, Binning Speakers At International House Event Good food, good wine and good talk highlighted the International House French dinner at Acadia camp Sunday evening. Guest speakers were B. C. Bln-f ning, well-known British Columbia | artist, and Louis LeGall of French department. the DESCRIPTION LeGall, whose topic was "France of Yesterday and Today", attempted to describe France In terms other than those seen on picture post-cards—the Arc de trlomphe, the Eiffel tower and so forth. To explain the current feeling of "disillusionment" with which most people assock-te with mod ern France, LeGall went ba*ck to the 19th century, to the Golden Age of France, when belief ln the power of wealth and material pro- gres was held by almost all Frenchmen. Two world wars destroyed this security, LeGall »ald, and this resulted In the cautious attitude of French people today when they regard the future. However, even among the bearded "existentialists," LeGall still finds a feeling of "esperance"— the little girl hope. The purpose of Mr. Binning's talk was to define "The French Style ln Painting" or, as he said, "Tho Way the French paint." His talk was Illustrated by slides of the French landscape which he took on his visit to France this summer, and by slides of French paintings by such artists as Pous- sin, Cezanne, Braque and Matisse. Binning regards the salient characteristics of French painting to be a love of the French countryside, a feeling for religion, and above ;!1 emphasizes on qualities of order proportion and balance.

BRANDON ROYAL BANK BLDG., VANCOUVER PACific 5321 SUN UFE OF-CANADA Page Four THE UBYSSEY T.iesday, January 15, 1952 SPORTS Sporti Editor—BARRY DRINKWATER ICE CHIPS BRIAN PRENTICE When the UBC Thunderbirds hockey team lines up against the PNE Indians of the Commercial Hockey League tomorrow night at the Forum, it will be the most crucial game of the season for the college pucksters. A win for the Birds will put them once more in sole possession of first place In league standings. We won't at the momont consider the possibilities of a loss. With only two more games remaining In the league schedule Birds must win or relinquish any chance of finishing at the top of the league. Last Wednesday night's encounter between these two teams proved to be on of the best games played In anv league ln town this season. Birds came out on the short end of th« score but their loss just serves to give them a Uttle more Incentive to win tomorrow night. A slight let-up ln defensive tactics proved to be their undoing. The PNE team graibbed the opportunity and went ahead to win. Since then, Coseh »«W«g" Wagner has been drilling the boys in the mistakes made last game and he has asstr.-ed us that UBC will be an Improved team come tomorrow night's session. MILLMAN RETURNS It has ibeen reliably reported that PNlS's coach Chuck Mlllman will once more don the blades and in his own little way help his team toward the Coy Cup Championship. Chuck Is no stranger to hockeyfans around our fair town, He played for the Vancouver Canucks for a couple of decades on defence, and If he can still skate the length of the Ice in the allotted twenty mlniite period, then he will probably take over where he left oft when he retired from the hockey wars However even If he plays on Wednesday It will take more than his probable Inspiration to stop the rampaging Thunderbirds. When it comes to do-or-dle attempts to win hockey gameB, our own Thunderbirds are past masters at the art. IXCUtlt YIT! If It is possible to slip in a couple of excuses for last week's loss li might be well to say that two top defencemen, Jim McMahon and Sandy Sanderson were not playing. But totno row night the Birds will be at full strength. Last Thursday night the Thunderbirai-Journeyed to New Westminster and played an exhibition game with the New Westminster Royals Juniors. Although the final score war* to be expected It proved to be « fine workout for both teams. This junior team Is a fine young hustliui? bunch of hockey players.' They skated hard, worked both ways up unl down the ice, and never stopped trying to win. Most of them are under nineteen years of age and in a tow years you will be hearing from them. ^Thls coming Friday, the Thunderblrdy will play an exhibition game with the Kerrisdale Monarchs Senior hockey team at Kerrisdale Arena. To all you fans who feel that si'-h a game will be rather one-sided you are all Invited to see tills encounter and ji'dge for yourselves. FN I LINE WILL HELP Birds will use one forward line from the PNE Indians to provide more strength to meet the Monarchs and with the hustle and spirit displayed iby tiie Thunderbirds the game will bo a memorable one to see. Kerrisdale have used three Bird playen to strengthen their team throughout this season and both Haas Young ard Gunner Bailey have figured in the scoring. Coach Scotty Milne of the Monarchs feals that this game will provide some good practice for both teams, but the Birds are out to win. Don't be at all surprised if they do. With the addition of the three PNE players, the Thunderbirds should provide the Monarchs with plenty of stiff competition. Ernie Dougherty, one of the PNE boys has played with both Kerrisdale Monarchs and the Vancouver Canucks. Another ot the loaned players, Bud Dumont, played part of this season with Penticton of the Mainline- Okanagan League and along with starry Gordie Langton, these olayers will add scoring punch to the Thunderbirds. Game time for the Thunderbirds-PtfR same tomorrow night is 7.45 and on Friday against the Kerrisdale Mo'iarchs the game will get underway at 8:00 p.m. If you like hockey v*ome out and support your Thunderbird hockey team.

Causes Queries KINGSTON — (CUP) — Recent formulation of a board of inquiry into the constitution of ths Athletic Board of Control bas oau sed some questioning about the organization of that body. Many students are not aware of the dut les and composition of the hoard. At Western and Toronto, there Is a similar board to control the university athletics, but ln addition they have a director of athletics who is the co-ordinator of the body. This body has supervised ovei* all athletics of the college, receiving and expending all money for athletics. They settle disputes In Queen's athletics and huve jurisdiction ovei* the players, appoint nwinr.gers for the senior mid intermediate teams, and award the \\\,: Blocks. It Really Did Happen! No, this didn't happen Friday night but on January 11, 1946. That year before 2,000 s'creu-ming fans, just half of last Saturday's crowd, a feliow named Pat McGeer led the Thunderbirds to an early lead which they managed to hold despite a last quarter onslaught by Harlem. The Bird's cause was helped immensely by such players as Sandy Robertson, Ritchie Nicol, Reg Clarkson, Harry Kermode Ron Weber and last, but nol least Ole Baaken. Most of these boys have been prominent In basketball circles on the Pacific coast since then, and are all known to local hoop enthusiasts. On this gala occasion, the Thunderbirds, used a good zone defence to hold the Trotters at bay, and if it hadn't been for Duke Cumberland (you saw him on both Friday and Saturday night) the score could quite possibly have been much greater. These Birds of 5 years ago had occasion to use stalling tactics which must have been very similar to those employed hy Eilers on Saturday night. Oh yes, even the renowned Harlem Globe Trotters can he beaten, and by our own Thunderbirds, too. GREG KABAT—-Remember Him? Of Course you do, don't you Greg was the finest-footbali coach ever to come to UBC. He came to the campus after success at Vancouver College, and is now coaching in California. HOOPLA Trotters Trim Kansas 'Stars By FATTY WATT Harlem Globetrotters and Co., with the help of assorted local Hoopsters, turned the UBC Menu rial Gym into a Basketball Wonderland over the v/eek end. Was A Real Show The Trotters leave Vancouver with the scarps of three basketball clubs hanging from their collective belts. On Friday night they defeated EMerrs by a 55-37 score. On Saturday afternoon they met UBC and came away with a 62-37 win. Saturday night they squeezed past the agile Kansas City AH Stars by a 41-36 margin. On Friday night, the Trotters put on a gala showing before 3500 enthusiastic hoop fans. Eilers proved to be the greatest surprise of the evening as they paced Harlem throughout the first half. Duk6 Cumberland, Trotter star even argued about the last point scored ln the half, as Eilers led by a 30-28 margin at half time. In the third quarter, however, the Trotters came roaring back to build up a safe advantage. In the fourth quarter, th© Eilers eased up on checking In order to let the visitors showboat through the last stanza. Of course the "clowns of Basketball" provided the crowd with tho out-of-thls-world type of play which Is their world famops trade mark. The State Theatre is not the only place In Vancouver where vaudeville reigns supreme. The Globe Trotter management (these hoys have really hit the big-time, what) brought along a terrific table-tennis duo, and a real live juggler. The "Crazy Ping Pong'' Act really wowed the fans. At one time In the performance, both; boys were about '!'> feet hack; from the table, beating the tiny | sphere for all they were worth.j At another point, they were running around the table at a fair clip, meanwhile continuing the game. Have you ever played a game of "PP" without moving your paddle? No? Well that's exactly what these wizards did on Friday night. "The London Clip Shot" was holding his bat stationary (waving to the crowd meanwhile) while the partner placed* his shots so that the ball would return In the usual manner. Of course, there was the lltle matter of playing ping pong with four balls, a neat trick if you can manage it. Jocko Quite A Show Jocko, the Juggler, was the other mid-time attraction. Jocko was a hoop artist, not exactly the basketball type, but he could really manipulate those phenomenal hoops. After be had finished the usual kid-stuff like toslng 5 or 6 king size circles In the air meanwhile letting every fifth one bounce on the floor as one circled around his leg, he really got down to business. One of the best tricks was billed "the educated hoop". H
