Issued Twice Weekly by the Students' Publications B oard of The University of British Columbia vol. xrv VANCOUVER, B.C., TUESDAY, MARCH 15,1932 No. 39 Queen's Strike Is Exaggerated By Newspapers Sentiment expressed in hand bills posted on the campus of Queen's University, threatening a student strike was not that of the majority of students, states a despatch in the Queen's Journal. The posting of the hand bills came as a sequel to remarks made by Principal W. H. Fyfe and Vice-Principal W H. McNeill at • C.O.T.C. banquet. The Principal was quoted aa saying that the 'Union,' with its young men slumped ln chairs, collars turned up and hats pulled down, reminded htm of a "club for young criminals." Criticism of Dr. McNeill wu baaed on hla statement that Queen's waa "woman Infested" and his outspoken condemnation of coeducation. The ultimatum contained in the hand bills demanded: Action by the AJUS., co-operation of campus societies, a mass meeting and a public apology to the Dean of Women and the ladles ot Queen's by Dr. McNeill. According to'the Queen's Journal it haa not yet been discovered from what mysterious source thia propaganda came but the general concensus of opinion waa to treat It as a joke. Out-of-town papers seized on the story and exaggerated It to the extent that a strike was fomenting at Queen's. "Thia was news to Queen's students," states the Journal. Des Burke, president of the A.M-S. at Queen's, said that the whole affair waa ridiculous and that the A.M.S. had ho Intention of taking any action. Presents Report GovernorKMeet To Discuss Fate Of Agriculture Although the Board of Governors made no official statement after their meeting Saturday night, there is an unofficial rumour that the Faculty of Agriculture will be retained with a grant of $35,000. This action of the Board follows a recommendation of Senate that Agriculture be abolished as a faculty, and re-established as a department of Applied Science. The special committee of the Board, which reported some weeks ago, recommended that the government grant, after deducting costs of administrations, be divided equally amongst the three faculties, and that the fees of students be credited to that faculty in which they registered. The Senate report advised, among other things, that the cost of administration be reduced to 1180,000, thus leaving $90,000 for distribution to the faculties. The Board seems to have rejected Senate's proposal to abolish Agriculture as a faculty, while they appear to have accepted the reduced administrative costs clause, because the figure for Agriculture, $35,000, is probably made up of $30,000 from the grant and $5,000 from student fees. This means that the $30,000 would be one third of the $90,000 left after deducting the proposed $160,000 administration cost from the reduced government grant of $250,000. The Senate meets on Wednesday night, and it is thought that at that time, it will express an opinion of rfthe Governors' action. JACK THOMSON At chairman of the Committee Investigating the subject of student admbwtration at U.B.C., Thomson has spent much time and effort in accumulating .the information on which the report of the Committee is bated. A draft of the finding* and recommendation* of the Committee appears on thi* pap*. Bumping Races Described By James Gibson James Gibson, 1931 Rhodes Scholar, gives a description of the Lenten bumping races at Oxford In a letter to his brother, W. C. Gibson. Extracts from the letter follow: "New College the first day narrowly missed bumping Exeter. Friday I went down and joined the motley throng—for that Is what one is induced to call it. On the one side of the river are all the College Barges—some of them with fantastically shaped windows, all flying their boat club colors, all with their 'Waterman* (characterized by the peculiar flat caps they wear) shoving across the river and back again in stubby punts. Christ Church meadows in the background seem quiet in comparison. "On thc opposite side, the tow- path, stretched from Folly Bridge (where once lived Roger Bacon), to Iffley Lock, nearly two miles distant, and where used to be the old mill which for 700 years from the Norman Conquest ground grist for a'l who came. Along this walked stately gentlemen with canes and spats, and possibly half-a-dozen country vicars who once rowed in their college torpids. There are undergraduates trying to look smart in fur coats and perky hats. There are undergrads ln every costume- some in running shorts and colored scarves; some with dirty sweaters (Please turn to Page Three) SENIOR CLASSES PLANNING FOR GRADUATION The final meeting of the combined Senior class will be held Wednesday in Applied Science 100 to discuss plans for the graduation functions. Election of the permanent executive will be another feature of the business. The duties of this executive are entirely mythical, and positions are really honorary. Plans for the baccalaureate service which will be held Sunday, May 1, will be decided upon, and the present executive of the combined classes will outline the various functions at which the graduates will either entertain or be entertained. It is rumoured that the boat trip, which has been a feature looked forward to by graduates for the past seven years, will have to be eliminated from the agenda, although there is still a chance that it will be included if enough seniors pay their fees. HISTORICAL SOCIETY ELECTS OFFICERS FOR SESSIONOF 1932-33 Wlllard Ireland was elected as the President of the Historical Society for the coming year at the last regular meeting of the year at the home of Mrs. W, N. Sage on Monday evening. Professor F. H. Soward was unanimously elected Honorary Prtsldent. Cecil Hacker is next year's Vice- president, and Mary Warden, Secretary. New members elected were Misses McKlnley, Westover, G. Armstrong, and M. Fotherglll, and Messrs. E. Brown, N. Nemetz, N. Hacking and M. Stewart. The feature of the evening was the paper by Katie Theissen on "B, C. on the Pacific," on the main national and international problems of B.C. as a province on the Pacific basin. Dealing with the problem of Eastern penetration, Miss Theissen briefly sketched the activities of the Chinese In B.C. Immigration measures adopting the plan of raising the head- tax from $50 to $500 were passed but feeling ran high and a general riot took place in 1907. Returning to the Japanese aspect, the chief difficulty to surmount was the existing treaties between Britain and Japan. The greatest problem on the Pacific Is the preservation of peace. Canada's place in the League of Nations might well promise to be the most effective In achieving the peace on both the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards. It remains for Canada to Interpret on the coast the principles of the League in spite of Japan's present departure. TOTEM ON SALE BY END OF MONTH STATES EDITOR Edition to be Limited to, One Thousand Copies—Art Color Engraving to be One of New Features , Treasurer For the first time in years the Totem will appear on the Campus before the library becomes the only place where students may be found. The annual threatens to be on sale before the end of March. The current year-book contains some new features which will make It of more general Interest. The soft-soap, which has been the essence of personal write-ups, haa been eliminated, and in Its place, will appear a factual statement of the college career of the graduate. Also' ■oven pictures to a page will be the nt-w rule. Color engraving will separate the volume Into the different sections. This ia an entirely new feature, and will add a spot of color to the usually drab inner pages. This work has been secured only at great difficulty and should prove a decided attraction to those who secure a copy of this book. Team pictures have been out down to half a page, but team write-ups have been lengthened so that read- era will be able to get a better word picture of the members of the team and thou* accomplishments. A thousand copies are available for distribution amongst the two thousand registered students so there should be a good line-up at the place of sale which will be announced next issue. Those who made deposits at the end of last term, or the beginning of this term will get first choice, that is, the first day or so of sale will be reserved for those who have made deposits. —, Many Seek Seats On New Council 23 for 6 Offices Council Office will take on an aspect of great activity as students choose next year's Students' Council today. Whimster has already been elected, while Mark Collins and Tony Osborne have received their positions of Treasurer and President of M. A. A. respectively by acclamation. Twenty-three students are contesting the other six positions. Records have fallen right and left a* the number of candidates per office Increased. L.S.E; heads the list with eight prospective councillors. Last year seven candidates presented themselves for student support. This year the list includes, J. Innes McDougal, William H. Q. Cameron, A. Bernard Jackson, Bob Harcourt, Ernest W. H. Brown, Reginald C. Price, Everett King and G. Neill Perry. Men's Undergrad seems to be the next popular position with five fighting for the honor of representing the Interests of the men of the university on' Council. Douglas Brown, Donald Davidson, J. Kenneth Campbell, R. V. McLean and Vic Rogers are hoping to gain the "A" office. Next in order of popularity comes the presidency of the Women's Undergraduate Society, with Dorothy Thompson, Esme Thompson and Emma Wilson, fighting it out. The positions of Secretary, President of the W. A. A. and Junior Member all have two contestants each, Lillian Scott and Rosemary Winslow are trying to succeed Cecilia Long as Secretary, while Mary McLean and Ruth Witbeck are the candidates for the W. A. A. position. Clare Donaldson and Milt Owen are fighting to hold what has been traditionally referred to as the position of "Council Office boy." Election meetings have been held during the past week to allow the candidates to express their views on what are the essential qualifications and why they should be elected. MARK COUNS Col Jin* was elected to the position o/ Treasurer of the A. M. S. by acclamation when no other candidate* were nominated tor the office. The session of 19JI-JJ will b* hi* aecond term on Council a* Treasurer *inc* he ha* been in charge of student finance* during the pr***nt year. SCHOLARSHIPS Owing to delay In distribute 1 n g information regarding scholarships, applications from U. B. C. will be accepted until March 21. Applications on old forms have been received, but these must be re-submitted on revised application forms. S. P. EAGLESON Lecture on India By Sir Lawrence Scheduled Here Following the address of Mr. Yusuf All, Sir Henry Lawrence, K.C.S.I., will give a lecture to students in Arts 100, Wednesday at 12:10. Sir Henry is speaking under the auspices of the National Council of Education, and the subject ot hit talk will be "A historical survey of India." The name of Lawrence is one which at once recalls the history of India during the nineteenth century. In India itself it is still a name to conjure with, as, for one hundred and fifty years, members of the family of Lawrence have been continuously associated with India. In 1888, Sir Henry passed Into the Indian Civil Service at the first attempt, at a time when the entrance examination to that service was considered to be the most severe competitive test in England. Two years later he went to India to serve the usual apprenticeship. The system of segregation and sanitation which Sir Henry Lawrence introduced during the great bubonic plague of 1896 became the model for those subsequently adopted throughout the whole of India as the pestilence spread. He was awarded the Kaisar-1-Hlnd for his work in this connection. He Introduced a new system of registration of land titles for every plot and parcel of land over an extent of country larger than Great Britain, and organized experimental farms throughout Bombay. He was also one of the principal movers in (Please turn to Page Three) INSTITUTE FEATURES PROGRAM OF SCENES FROM SHAKESPEARE "Scenes from Shakespeare" were presented Monday evening in the Auditorium by members of the Vancouver Shakespeare Society. Assisting the actors was the Lawson-Boak violin ensemble of 15 instruments with Mrs. Philip Malkin at the pi- ano. The performance was under the auspices of the Vancouver Institute. The ensemble rendered four selections of Elizabethan music, and was followed by a scene from "King Henry VIII," in which Queen Kath- erln fallen from the King's favor, receives two cardinals newly arrived from Rome. The cardinals bring news from Papal sanction for the divorce, and the unhappy Queen retires after having heartily rebuked the cardinals. This scene was followed by a vocal solo of Shakespearian songs rendered by Mrs. W. Humphreys with Mrs. J. Hlnton at the piano. The selections included, "When Daisies Pied" and "Sigh No More, Ladles," from Shakespeare's earlier plays. Next presented was the remarkable scene from "Richard II" In which the Duke of Gloucester, meeting Lady Anne following her husband's bier, woos and wins her. The part of Anne was taken by Mrs. S. J. Anderson, while Rul Shearman played the Duke's role. Student Government Subject of Enquiry By Joint Committee Faculty, Senate and Students Represented— Recommendations Include two Sophomores and One Honorary Member on Council, and a Committee of Eight to Have Charge of Athletics By a minute of the meeting of the Students' Council of the University of British Columbia, held October 14,1931, a Committee was appointed "to report on the entire question of the administration of student affairs." The Committee was to be made up of two members each from the Faculty, the Senate, and the Student Body. Appointments were subsequently made aa follows: Faculty: R. W. Brock, F. E. Buck. Senate: A. E. Lord, Sydney Anderson. Student Body: Miss Dorothy Myers, J. W. Thomson. ♦ R. M. Mather was asked to set as Junior Member —""•*■— And Secretary Seats Solicited Candidates for Junior Member and Secretary of the A. M. S. held a combined campaign meeting in the Auditorium Monday noon. Clare Donaldson and Milt Owen were soliciting support for their election to the Junior Member's berth on Council, while Lillian Scott and Rosemary Winslow will try to get the secretary's pen. Lillian Scott stressed her experience as secretary of her class this year, and mentioned that she had spent a year in business where she did all kinds of secretarial work. Nance Carter, supporting Lillian Scott, said that she had gained a wide circle of friends and would thus be able to use her vote on Council in a sympathetic and just manner. Rosemary Winslow outlined a polity of having stories of the success of prominent graduates inserted in the magazine section of the Sunday Province. She also said that her experience as editor of the Totem and secretary of the L. S. E. and reporter of the Ubyssey would allow her to use her vote on all questions in a sane manner. Alice Morrow, who worked on the same executive as Rosemary stated that she bad handled all her secretarial work efficiently and well. Clare Donaldson, first speaker on the Junior Member ticket, caused a near-riot with his Benny Rubens style campaign speech, but lapsed into (Please turn to Page Three) A Letter to Students To the Student Body: The time has come when matters concerning University policy should be made public among the students. In a few short weeks the student body will be dismissed for another year and they will be ln exactly the same position, or even worse, in regard to the knowledge of their courses and fees for next year, as they were at this time last year. The students are the people most vitally concerned in this matter, and they are entitled to know what the policy will be, what cocrses are to be offered, what fees are to be charged, and what changes In general are to be made. About two months ago I waa given a definite promise by the President that the policy would be outlined In sufficient time for publication in The Ubyssey. So far we have heard nothing but rumours. Last Wedneslay the Senate met to discuss the policy, and they had to adjourn In order to hear the decision of the Board of Governors. The Board met on Saturday night, and would make no announcement as to their decision. What Is going to happen? And when will It be decided? As it was last year, after the studenta are gone and they have no opportunity for discussion? WUl the feea be raised? What courses will be changed? Surely we are entitled to know this and know it in time to publish it in the last Issue of the Ubyssey, which ia Friday, Time la getting short. We should know and we want to know. EARL J. VANCE. After having carefully considered various aspects of the problem of student government, the Committee sub- mite herewith its report with recommendations contained therein: In this report the various problems of Student Administration will be considered under the following heads. A. The Composition of Students' Council with recommendations. B. The Administration of Athletics with recommendations. C. The Question of Paid Management with recommendation*. The Composition of Students' Council I. Sophomore Representation. A (Please turn to Page Three) Support Sought By Prospective L.S.E. President Eight candidates for the position, President of Literary and Scientific Executive, presented their platforms In the auditorium Friday noon. William Whimster was in the chair. Ernest W. H. Brown, the first speaker, stressed his connection with the Parliamentary Forum and advocated a continuance of this year's policy. He would do his utmost, he said, to eliminate any friction which occurred between the two major L.S.E. organizations. Bill Cameron, second speaker, pointed out his variety of associations with major and minor organizations on the campus, which included Players Club Executive, Parliamentary Forum and Publications Board. His consequent insight into campus activities as a whole placed him in a good position to exercise balanced judgement in Council matters, and he pledged whatever experience he had to the well being of the Literary and Scientific department. Bob Harcourt stated the various duties of a President of the L.SJE. and claimed qualifications for them due to his experience in the Musical Society, Letters Club and Ubyssey staff. He has good connections in the city, and if elected would (Please turn to Page Three) RECEPTION HELD ON FINAL NIGHT OF SPRING PLAY After the final night of the Spring Play, a reception for members of the club and orchestra was held at thc home of Sydney Risk, director of the play. The orchestra which supplied the music for the intermissions, was under the baton of Jack Emerson, while Phil Northcott arranged the personnel. Members of the Musical Society expended considerable energy getting music of songs of the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods, to maintain the atmosphere created by the costumes and general effects of the play. The annual tour of the Players' Club, though not definitely arranged as yet, will Include Victoria, April 25, Duncan, Comox, Qualicum Beach, Powell River, Vernon, Kclowna, Kamloops, Pentlcton, Trail, Nelson, and other interior points. The cast will leave for the up-country section of the tour directly after graduation, while the Island and Fraser Valley points will be covered during the interval between examinations and convocation.

TUESDAY, MARCH 15,1982 STUDENT GOVERNMENT After prolonged and weighty consideration the committee of Senate, Faculty and Council which was appointed to look into the matter of student government has brought down its report. This report, which is published in another part of this issue, is not a little disappointing. The thing which students want to know in this connection is: Have wt got student government at U.B.C.? Tilt report entirely fails to answer this question and merely concerns itself with tht discussion of some minor points and the presentation of recommendations which, while they art commend- able in some respects, do not appear to assist the cause of student government. The main idea stems to be to provide Council with a large additional staff of advisors, most of whom are not representative of the student body. The recommendation for the appointment of Sophomore members to Council has some value when considered as a training measure, but tht fact that thtrt is no assurance that the same students who serve on Council as Sophomores will be elected to the executive in their Junior or Senior years, robs this argument of much of its weight If, on the other hand, it is assumed that they will be elected because of their previous experience, it means that the choice of nearly a quarter of the governing executive will be based on a knowledge of individuals which extends only over a period of a single year. The appointment of a member of the Alumni as an honorary councillor may be very nice as a polite gesture, but as a constructive suggestion aaent student government it is unconvincing. If the Alumni representative takes sufficient interest in student affairs to attend meetings it is probable that he will carry enough influence to do pretty well as he wishes in formulating student policies. Very likely the advice of an experienced graduate would be of considerable value in the administration of student affairs, but it is not student government. Under the recommendations, the administration of athletics is to be entrusted to a board of no less than eight people of whom only half would be students. If it requires eight people to direct a single department of college activities it is an admission that a Council of nine is incapable of directing the affairs of tiie whole Alma Mater Society. In its final recommendation, the one regarding "Paid Management," the Committee appears to realise that Students' Council has not as much control over the business of the A.M.S. as might be desirable. It has, therefore, made a valiant effort to correct undue control from the Business Office by changing the title of Business Manager to that of Business Secretary. * There is supposed to be a system of student government at U.B.C. The desirability of this may be open to question but as long as Auditorium 305 poses as the office of a student executive it should be the policy of students to strengthen rather than weaken their system of government. Under the proposed measures Council would be open to even more outside influence than has been the case in the past. Indeed it would be surprising if it were not bereft of a great deal of the meagre allowance of authority which it now possesses. The old woman who lived in a shoe will have nothing on the A.M.S. president with his flock of colleagues and advisors, if the new recommendations are accepted. a * * Now that the Players' Club has been described as the Thespians Watch Association, we are wondering if they'll be quite run down by the end of their tour. "Of Thespians Watch Association" was the strange conclusion to a headline in the last issue. Explanation: "Watch" was a proof reader's instruction. Reminds me of "Council Bulletin No. 13" last year—"No. 13" being a size of type. * * • I wonder why the Muck-a-Muck head was taken, off page three last time? I find myself rising again to defend coeducation. It appears that the vice-principal of Queen's has denounced that place as "woman-infested"—much to the in- Wrong dignation of the student body. Attitudes Having some personal knowledge of Queen's studtnts, J think there is no cause for concern. Dr. McNeill's picture is exaggerated. It is better that a college man's knowledge of women should be obtained through coeducation rather than, as one understands was the custom fifty years ago, from a class of ladies not acceptable to polite society. The modern association of men and women in study and recreation is much more likely to foster morality, respect, and sane appreciation between the sexes. Marriages among University people have been found to be more often successful than marriages among tht rest of the population, because the former are in a better position to choose wisely partners who are temperamentally and intellectually suited. Some students make fools of themselves and bring co-education into disrepute. It should be recognized that students art not a ract apart, but simply a cross-section of the public. The blame should not be placed on tht co-educational arrangement, but on wrong attitudes developed by such factors as the salacious impression of co-education broadcast by certain people, most of whom ought to know better; sins of commission and omission in the home; and tiie preoccupation of literature and the screen with the "love" theme. All these factors help develop undesirable attitudes in the less stable student element, and these attitudes are sometimes reflected in foolish conduct. Let the older generations upbraid themselves, not the results of the influences for which they are responsible. These influences lead to inordinate sex-consciousness and lack of a sense of values. Their strength in modern life is attested in the junior high schools, for example, where you may behold many monstrous little girls with painted lips and cheeks—and you can readily guess what subject is their chief concern. Let the older generations indulge in some honest self-criticism and devote intelligent thought to these matters. * * * The sermon on the present lack of leadership occasioned more comment than anything that has appeared in this column. During the past two weeks similar complaints Lack of have appeared in many news- Leadership papers and magazines. For example, "Liberty" has ac-* tually committed itself as follows: "Today leaders are not selected because of merit, or because of outstanding ability. Such men cannot be made the tools of political henchmen; they have their own principles and ideals, and they are usually ready and willing to fight for them. Men of this sort are not allowed to become leaders. Tlie political bosses select men to lead whom they can control, at least to a reasonable extent. Many of our so-called leaders follow the instructions of their political dictators." • * * Be recent remarks on the cult of the "low brow," let me quote from the advertisement of a prominent razor blade company: "We're talking to you regular men, whe- "Regular ther you're chained to a desk or Men" work outdoors. You'd rather hear the splash of a bass than listen to the Moonlight Sonata." If you want to be a "regular man," note carefully that you must prefer fishing to classical music. Another of your characteristics, of course, will be that you will use exclusively the razor blade recommended in the ad. * * e The Washington Daily devoted an 8-page issue to the important subject of fashions. About cords we learn (1) that they are being driven back to tiie farm, and (2) that Fashion they are all the rage. Bathing suits Notes will approach nearer the vanishing point. Depression in the pipe business has apparently produced a new sales idea —the "profile pipe." One article says that "most men dislike strong perfume, bright red nails, profuse makeup and lots of jewelry." Ain't it the truth? When in a good mood, I find red nails amusing, but when in a bad humor they disgust me almost as much as painted lips do. * • e The press recorded that the United Farmers and Independents regarded the Liberals' want- of-confidenoe motion on the Dominion government's unemployment policies as "pure party politics," and refused to vote. Dear, dear— what is the party system coming to?

Pear Sir—Returning to the campus after a week's absence it is with considerable regret that I find certain developments taking place In the ranks of the Women's Undergraduate Society. That such inherently wholesome things as elections should threaten to divide the women into opposing groups on the irrelevant basis of sorority membership is surely wholly undesirable. I would like, therefore, as a past Councillor, to suggest to those women who are casting their votes today to judge the candidates on the vital grounds of qualifications. And the qualifications which are valid are not those of representation of sororities or any other section of the Women's Undergraduate Society, but they are those of definite past experience and knowledge, of proven ability ln executive duties and of the power of leadership of the whole society—Including the Freshette class. It is with all sincerity that I would ask the member* of W.U.S. to rank the names on their ballots on this and on no other basis.

Bernard Jackson, having connections with several of the Clubs in the L.S.E., declared that he had accepted his nomination with a full knowledge of its responsibilities and the need for an unbiassed President. Differences of opinion between clubs could best be settled by one with impartial opinions, he claimed, and asked for support on the basis of his good will and conscientious judgment E. H. Xing emphasised the lack of co-ordination between the various clubs of the L. S. E. and intended to remedy the situation. He would work for an increased Interest In public speaking, If elected, and foster activities of the Player'* Club and Musical Society. His experience on the Publications Board, Soccer Club and Publicity Bureau fitted him well for President L.SJB. J. Innes McDougall requested nip- port for two reasons. His nomination was not sponsored by any organized body and he could consequently exercise Impartial Judgement, both in matters concerning eligibility and In those concerning budgets. He had alwaya been interested in the work for which he was now running and bad had considerable experience on and off the campu*. Neil Perry had sufficient practical experience and breadth of outlook to assume the responsibilities of the position for which he was running and if elected, he pledged himself to favor student Insurance, to organize a "Provincial Day" and to improve the Stadium site. Executive ability, experience and a wide knowledge of student activities were tiie qualities upon which Reg Price, business Manager of the Ubyssey, hased his platform. Being keenly interested in those organizations coming under the L. S. E., Mr. Price felt that he was in a position to accept the presidency should he be elected. His contacts with Council during the past year would be a distinct advantage, he stated. University Cleaners Ladles* and Childrenfs Dress Cleaning, Pressing, Dyeing and Altering.

I fully realise the responsibility and other hooey connected with the office. It entails a vote on Council. I also realise that I should refrain from placing a platform before you because I believe that the policy of the office is dictated by unforseen events., However, I might say that I, as a member of Women's Oym Club, wiU do my utmost to encourage Inter-cleat competition ln debating circles. I am also In favour of a "Flag Raising pay" to promote more cordial relations between the Senate, the Board of Governor*, end the sty- dents. Another plank in my platform is the institution of an Information Bureau te help Senior students who are lost on the campus. If a Council member is to have any fallings, one of them must not be conceit. That is one reason I ask you to vote for me. I nave had years of experience, I have a close insight into the workings of the W.U.S., I know my own mind. If two year* at a member of the Chess Club have strengthened my convictions, If five years as a First Year Science man has given me any energy, if half-s-year as member cf the Senior "A" Basketball team has provided me with any patience, then I am the man for the office. A* to my qualification*, I am a member of the Letters Club and therefore can appreciate the problems of all the societies of the L J46. With the above facts in mind I wish to thank those who have supported me and to willingly helped to pay for my advertising, I leave it to you. Yours miserably, • Screw Loose Somewhere. CRUMBS FROM THE COLLEGE BRED 3y T.H. , ' ■■ i "'"g=a=3SB5 BUMPING RACES DESCRIBED BY JAMES GIBSON (Continued from Page One) which once were white, and training trousers. Some carry megaphones, others lug dangerous-looking pistols, which, however, fire blanks. Small school boys scamper along speculating which boat Is which. "Four o'clock approaches; eight stalwart men, each carrying an oar, step into a punt, followed by a diminutive figure clad in a purple blazer and cap to match. The waterman punt* them across, they march to the Boat Club and man their eight: 'Stroke side hold her, bow side under, turn her towards the river, TURN,' and over goes the shell and down Into the water. "Then each man gets In, ships his oar, (which has college colon painted on its blade), starting from bow and down to stroke. The cox gets In, sees that his rudder lines art dear, the boat is pushed out, and whan |b* river ahead it clear, he starts barking order*: 'Bow, gently, and two, work her out, .ready to row, come forward, are you ready, PAD- DLEt" Eight shining oars cut into the murky water, and tiie slim craft speeds down river, while a mighty cheer goes up from the banks.'* The letter goes on to relate how the boats row up to the starting point, get Into position, and then the five minute warning gun barks. Sweaters are discarded, and everything is made ready. "Boom—that Is the minute gun- oar* are poised, and a voice begins counting the seconds—eight, seven, six, CRASH—there is a flurry of white a* thirteen torpid* start off— the first cornea in sight, sweeping majestically, others following and In the next few minutes hundreds of throats cheer on their crews. Observer men fire their pistols; once to show that only a length separates a boat from the one ahead, twice to Indicate half-a-length, three times or more to indicate that a special effort Is to be made to bump. A slim prow creeps closer, closer, overlaps the stern of a slower crew, edges in, touches, and up goes a hand to show that a bump is acknowledged — and both crews drop out—invariably some crews have to row through to the end as they have been too slow to bump the boat ahead." COMMITTEE MEETS TO INQUIRE INTO STUDENT AFFAIRS (Continued from Page One) study of the present system of student administration reveals one particular weakness, namely: a lack of continuity from year to year. In 1888, an effort was made to remedy tiua by Including ln the Council a Junior If ember ttoct- i—«p——w—il 1.11,111 m ii ii ii i i, iii ■ ■ m "Emma going to get in?" is the question which all tiie candidate* are asking today. • • • The campu* has been exposed during the tost week to a deluge of election ballyhoo. Perhaps the moat keenly contested Council position is the presidency of the W. U. S. It is a three cornered fight with each candidate using high-power advertising method i "" S can recall when the W- U 8., realising that nubile oninion aeoinst the social activities and extravagances ef Vanity co-eds should not be aggravated, decided to sacrifice supper, etc., at tho Co-ed BaU. Now the •elf-tacrifieal spirit is indiscernible in a cloud of political smoke. Ahemi "Dignity," "personality," "charm,'' "stability" (whatever that is), "ability to act aa hostess," aad more than a few foolish feminine phrase* are dished up on gaudy placards that must have cost somebody money end then left on display while the public visits the campus to see "Alice Sit- by-the-Ftoe." • • • There should be a law against it. • • • Although page three of the last issue of The Ubyssey was devoted to election platforms, it should have been entitled Muck-a-Muck. I actually burst out toughing at more than one point, "Lemme kwote." "As hostess of the university I should consider it my sacred duty to help the Freshettes become acquainted, not only with the mechanic* of the university, but alto, etc., etc." Hake It from me, I'm going to be a mechanic, next year. • • • Another candidate will "bridge the gaps between town and out of town students, sorority and non-sorority student*." A couple of "bridge*" should do that. • • • And still another believe* tho Coed BaU should be continued next year 'in spite of the sleepless night It causes the Women's Undergraduate Executive." Evidently the executive rides home with the milkman, too. • * * Two of the L. S. B. candidates are madrigal singen. They can show their wares when they gather around the Council table next year. • • • "Avenue any sense at aU7" • f e It is left to the Secretary of the A.MJ. to report the wont pun of the year. At the Council dinner tost week when the conversation turned to one of tiie memben of the faculty in the Department of Philosophy, Mark Collin*, ex-treasurer and treasurer-elect, spoke up. "I've heard of beer and herring at a meal," he to reported to have said, "but never Wyman PUcher." • • • "Meet the next President of the A.MS," says the President of W.U.S. "He's just a Utile «whun' of mine." • • • Or maybe she didn't say that Maybe I thought that one up aU by myself. • • ♦ The fate ef twenty-two fortunate or unfortunate student candidates will be decided today, March 18. "The Idee of March have come." • • • Whispers of a campaign fund racket on the campu* suggest the Institution of a "Beauharnols" purse in the A. M. S. • • • "I feU off my hospital try again," exclaimed the Prince of Wale*. ed from the Junior Class. The present Constitution thus provides for six members of the Council who may be chosen from the Junior Year. Of these, the choice of four is optional between the Junior Year and the Senior Year, and consequently such members are generally chosen from the latter, thus eliminating the opportunity for maximum continuity between successive councils. It does not seem advisable to enlarge the Studenta' Council by the inclution of any more members with fuU voting powers; however, It is considered desirable to adopt tome system of apprenticeship. "The Committee, therefore, recommends as follows: 'That two representatives from the sophomore year, without voting powers, be elected to tha Students' Council, the election to be held en the first Monday in November and the franchise extended only to sophomores, Juniors and seniors'." n. Honorary Councillor. In order to secure further this desired continuity between successive Council*, it seems advisable to obtain the assistance of one member of the Alumni Association to act in the capacity of an Advisory Honorary CouncUlor. It la alto felt that this wtil be a means to stimulate a much closer and vary desirable contact between the Undergraduate Body and the Alumni Association. This position might become one of considerable honor and aa such could be used to the distinct advantage of the University aa a whole. The Committee, therefore recommends at foUows: "That the University of British Columbia Alumni Association be asked to elect or appoint one of their memben annually to the position of Honorary CouncUlor aa a member of the Students' Council without voting powers; said Honorary CouncUlor to have been a former member of a Students' Council." The Committee believes that no changes beyond those recommended above should be made In the Studenta* Council as at present constituted, but Is of the opinion that for the purpose of Student elections a senior should be defined as a student in the fourth year of Arts or Agriculture or in the fourth or fifth year of any regular five year course. The Committee also submits, without further comment, that It is not particularly desirable that any student should hold the same office more than one term. The Administration of Athletics In considering the evidence which has been received on thi* matter, the Committee feel* that some provision should be made for a progressive and uniform poUcy in regard to Athletic Admlntotntion. Due to the rapid ex- , pension of athletics over the past few years and the consequent Intricacy of their administration, it is believed that a more centralized board of control should be ultimately provided for. However, it does not seem advisable to make any radical change at this moment but merely to make provision for greater continuity in policy. The Committee, therefore, recommends as foUows: "THAT an Athletic Advisory Board shaU be appointed to assist in the Administration of Athletic Activities; said Board to be constituted as follow*: (a) President of Men's Athletics (chairman); (b) President of Women's Athletics; (c) Two Memben of the Alumni, appointed by the University Alumni Association; (d) Two students appointed by the Men's Athletic Executive; (e) Two members of faculty appointed by the Athletic Board. "Such appointments to be confirmed by the Students' Council" The Question of Paid Management The committee recognize* particular disadvantages of this system of employing a business secretary from year to year are the undue power and Influence which he might acquire over the Student Executive. However, the Committee feels that this disadvantage i* adequately provided against by the extension of the CouncU to include an Honorary CouncUlor and also by the exclusion of the Business Secretary from Studenta' CouncU Meetings.

LECTURE ON INDIA , BY SIR LAWRENCE SCHEDULED HERB (Continued from Page One) the establishment of the CoUege of Agriculture at Poena-an institution which has gained a reputation extending far beyond the boundaries of India. In 1918 Sir Henry Lawrence was created a Companion of the Star of India ,and three years later became the Finance Member of the Government of Bombay. At this time there was as much unrest in India as there has been recently, whilst the dangers of outbreaks were even greater, but Sir Henry managed to keep friendly relations with the leaders of the agitation. I He has always been a lover of India, and though now living in England his great experience and intimate knowledge of Indian peoples enables him to speak with unquestioned authority on Indian problems.

The meet which, with the possible exception of the Arts '20 relay, stands at the top of class activities, promises to be a gala affair tomorrow. The collegians have already staged two good meets, and training has been under way for several weeks, giving tht competitors an excellent opportunity to get into first class condition. Tht meet will mark tht first time this year that tht co-eds have entered into the contests, and their efforts will probably be tiie deciding factor in awarding the trophy. There an several individual stent. who wtil be competing for major honon In the meet Rolf Forsythe Showed wonderful stamina to lead the point gotten in the Inter-faculty competition and Max Stewart was out In front in the meet with Technical and Britannia High School*. In addition then an several other athletes of note who wUl be out to cop the individual award . Gavin Dirom, husky science councUlor, has In previous yean ruled the roott,' and he ia just getting back into form after an enforced rest of more than a year. Hugh Smith it favored to repeat his victory of last spring in the broad jump and Dirom should take the pole vault. Graduation haa taken one of the outstanding members of the 1931 team. Bob Alpen. star hurdler and field competitor will not be on hand to defend the laurels gained at the last contests. The speedy engineer amassed a total of I8V2 points, and contributed to the six new records by adding 10 feet to the javelin mark. As usual the co-eds are the "dark horses" of the meet, but It Is rumored that many of the records In the women's events are due to go by the boards. Three of the marks were wiped out a year ago and if the predictions are true, at least that many more should be changed tomorrow. In view of the meet with the College of Puget Sound which is scheduled for a week from tomorrow ln Vancouver, competition for places on the Vanity cinder team is getting unusuaily keen, and the boys wiU be out to do their best in the interclass contests. The Blue and Gold squad Is anxious to wipe out the defeat administered by tiie Loggers in Tacoma In 1931, and will have a smart aggregation lined up for the fray. Now that the basketball season is over, it is possible that some of the track stars on the senior A squad will once more don their spikes. Bob Osborne, Pi Campbell and Ken Wright should be a big acquisition to the team. Boxers Put On Smart Exhibition Two Varsity Boxing Club members Jack Row and Bob Donald, gave a good exhibition of the leather-pushing art at a smoker held by the Meraloma Club Friday night. The boys weighed in at 130 pounds and fought three fast rounds to a draw, evidently a popular decision. Donald was the more rugged of the two and carried the fight to his opponent, Row. The latter, however, kept Donald at bay with a flicking left and now and then brought In a hefty right to the jaw or body. These two young boxers show promise of going far in the field of amateur boxing. Memben of the Boxing Club are asked to note that next Friday, March 18, the last workout of the season wUl be held. A few In formal bouts will be arranged between members. ENGLISH RUGBY NOTICE There will be a general meeting of the English Rugby Club In Arts 106 Wednesday noon at 12:05.

Renfrew Noses Out Soccerites A fighting Varsity football squad went down to a 3-8 defeat to Renfrew Argyles in a Second Division League game at Cambie Street Saturday. The game produced some fine footbaU, and might just as easily have gone the other way. Varsity kicked off against a strong sun, and for some time the play was very even. Soon after the start, however, Jimmy Smith, at outside right, twisted his knee; and was a passenger for some time. This slowed up the Varsity attack, and left the right side weak, a fact of which the Argyle forwards took advantage. Af- tei about fifteen minutes' play, Renfrew scored the first goal of the game, the high-bouncing baU fooling Frattinger. Renfrew was having the best of the play at this time, and the Varsity goal had several narrow escapes, both from Varsity defenders and from Argyle forwards. Finally, McGUl, ln attempting to clear the ball, kicked it against a Renfrew attacker, and It rebounded- Into the corner of the net, giving the East End aquad a 2-0 lead. Thia, however, waa short-lived, as Munday tallied for Varsity from the kick- off. However, Millar McGill kindly handled at the other end, and the resultant penalty goal gave" the Ar gyles a 3-1 lead which they held tiU half-time. A similar kindness to the Varsity forwards was thrown away when Costain missed a penalty against the Argyles for back-charging. Varsity presented a much changed line-up on resumption, Bud Cocke coming on ln place of Jimmy Smith, and going to left wing. Laurie Todd shifted to outside right, brother Dave to Inside right and Ernie Costain to inside left. This line-up seemed to be much more effective as Varsity was on the offensive for the majority of the period. However, the Blue and Gold squad was forced to content itselft with one goal, obtained by Otie Munday on a pass from Dave Todd. The game ended with Varsity still on the attack. For Varsity, Kozoolin was again outstanding, showing most control over the light ball. Laurie Todd also turned in a fine performance, while Munday played one of his best games of the year. The team — Frattinger, McGUl, Grant, Wright, Kozoolin, McDougal, Smith, Cooke, Costain, Munday, D. Todd and L. Todd. Science '34 Copt Class Hoop Tilt Science '34 defeated Science '33, 17-10 in the final game of the men's Inter-class basketball series last Tuesday. With both teams showing plenty of form and pep the game was a fitting climax to a most successful season of exciting battles. By virtue of this victory Science '34 reign.*; as the Inter-class basketball champions on the campus. Both teams started right in to play fast ball, but Science '33 couldn't match their opponents and the half- time score was 9-2 for Science '34. 1 Ruggers Set For Contest Against Reps Varsity wiU meet Its old rival the Vancouver Rep In,the McKechnie Cup tussle. Saturday, March 19, at Brockton Point. If the students take the contest the chances of the trophy re- urning to the halls of learning at U.B.C, loom brightly. Vancouver will have a redoubtable lineup since practically aU those returning from Japan wUl be on the Rep roster. Varsity, however, Is not daunted by the formidlble aggregation that wiU represent the city, and has been practicing hard to take the aU-stan into camp. Coach Buck Yeo has had the collegians training hard at morning and afternoon practices, and a lot o fthe weak- neeeea evidenced la at week against Victoria have been erased. With the chances for fine weather looming, a record crowd to expected. The executive has mad* special arrangements for student ntee at S3 cents per ducat Rowers Downed By B.C. Ruggers Playing its hurt game of the season, Varsity's second string rugby aquad turned back the ttrong Rowing Club team by a 14-0 count at Lower Brockton on Saturday, In the final contest the collegians showed up remarkably well, and the Rowers wen unable to cope with the speed of the Blue and Gold. Players of the second and third teams are reminded that strip can be turned in now. See Ken Mercer or Chris Dalton for particulars. Players are also reminded that the general meeting will take place early this week. Election of officers for the coming year, and general business will be brought up. President M.A.A, Inter Class Track Meet Scheduled Tomorrow Varsity Cinder Men Prepare for Contest With Tacoma College CAGE STARS ENTERED IN NEW SERIES Varsity's senior basketball men have been a little premature, it seem*, in placing their uniforms In the proverbial hope chest. Because apart from next year's ambitions, the cage artists have another small matter to attend to this season. Apparently the Vancouver and District League squads, with all of their twenty games, have not had enough competition for this year, and under thc direction of Walter Hardwick are staging a knockout series. Naturally the collegian hoopers, always anxious to oblige, are prepared, even delighted to accomodate the V and D by providing a little opposition, and will probably he billed to meet the Crusaders some time this week. It will be Interesting to see the war that wUl be waged between the proteges of Arnold Henderson and the cohorts of one Lynne Pickler, two bosom friends. WhUe the Blue and Gold basket- ters have broken training, they are ir. pretty good condition as a result of their contests with the Adanacs, and should have little difficulty In copping the affair. Shores have already eliminated the husky V.A.C. aggregation, and wUl meet the winner of the Varsity-Crusade struggle. Just what Is at stake, and whether an> title will be placed on the brow of the winner, is not made clear, but it should be a nice little workout for the collegians. Shores have been known to provide opposition for some of the best of the hoopsters in these parts, while Crusaders are no set up at times, or between times as you choose. If Pi Campbell can forget rowing and Grouse Mountain, and Tony Osborne can relieve himself of the responsibility that the captaincy of the team has weighed upon him, the Blue and Gold cage stars should have Uttle difficulty In vanquishing any of these teams they will oppose. BOB OSBORNE Well fcnoum for hit prowett both on the track and on the basketball floor, Osborne u>a* popular choice for the Council position of president of Men's Athletic*. He received this pott by acclamation. Science Faculty Default to Arts In Grid Battle After a week'* careful considera tion and loud argument, Science have definitely decided that they will not be able to do battle with Arte in the annual Inter-faculty Canadian Rugby game scheduled for tomorrow. By virtue of this decision Science is forced to default to Arts, giving them the game without a struggle, and leaving them in possession of the cup for the second year In a row. The Science faculty has been trying desperately to get a team together, but too many lectures and toe many labs left the engineers no time for practice; and consequently they lack condition, team and everything but the wish to play. These grid battles have aroused great excitement on the campus In previous years, and the affair will be sadly missed this year. In the second half play was more even, each side scoring eight points to make the final tally 17-10. Although both teams played a good game the score just about represents the difference' between them. Co-eds Battle In Grass Hockey A real battle was waged Saturday between the two hockey teams, U.B.C. finally triumphing over Varsity to the tune of 8-2. Taking advantage of the tardiness of U.B.C. players Varsity made a beautiful rush, and scored about two seconds after the whistle blew. A few minutes later Bea Sutton scored for U.B.C. The ground was very rough, the whole game being practically a gamble as to where the ball would bounce. Varsity forwards showed superior combination, as U. B. C. bunched together, all trying to make up the absence of one forward. Varsity's main fault was a lack of offensive on the part of the half-backs. Bea Sutton, scoring five goals, and Carol Sellars, scoring two, each played a great game for U.B.C. For Varsity, Isabel McArthur was outstanding, although she was well- supported by the other forwards. The last game of th« season was evidently a subject for experiment with full-backs playing forward, and goalie half-hack.

POST MORTEMS With Stu Keate Saturday, March 26, is a big date for the Varsity Jones's and Hagen's. For on that day they take on the tough University of Washington divot-diggers, each University presenting an eight-man team. Last year at Washington U. B. C. were more or less swamped. They arranged a return game for the local course and the Washington boys came up. On the day of the match there was at least two feet of snow on the ground and the U. of W. boys returned home without swinging a club. Let's hope the weather man gives the boys a break this year! • • • Incidentally, these inter-collegiate golf matches are a perfect example of what inter-collegiate spirit should be. Last year the Vanity boys were denied any remuneration at aU for the Washington encounter. So the active memben of the club started a Uttle pubUclty for the match, told tickets and raised enough oughday for aU green fees and a nic* banquet. In the letter from Seattle discussing this year's match ElweU Case ("Casey," to the local crew) states: •The A.S.UA. have cut out expsn- dlturee this year but our matches last year wen so Interesting that we hope to continue our relations—the boy* wUl pay their own way for a match on your course." Congrats, Caseyl • • • Many were out Saturday hi preparation for the inter-class track meet of March 23. This meet is always a natural "draw" for in one afternoon tiie much-disputed class supremacy may be settled. The track is said to be in first-class condition and it would be no surprise if a few new records were hung up. GRIDDERS WIN AGAIN FROM V.A.C. A NEW LINE ON ELIGIBILITY Athletic authorities of West Point have announced that, beginning next year no footbaU player will be allowed to play on the same team as hi* father;—Oregon State Barometer. Pub Board Struck Out By Council Displaying a veritable orgy of Babe Ruth hits, triple plays, and spectacular base sliding, Council's augmented soft-baU squadron eked out a win over the Publications Board pill swatters by the narrow margin of 23-8 when the two expert aggregations tangled on the upper playing field, Saturday afternoon. FuUy cognizant of the "divine right of Council," Manager Vance demonstrated the lessons learned up in the "pocket edition Olympus" when he selected a team composed of famous campus athletes regardless of whether or not they had any connection with Council. The first inning was successful for Pub. as the scribes were able to learn how the game was played while they watched the Councillors chalk up 11 runs. Once this typical bit of CouncU railroading was effected, the Newsies began to show their stuff though severely handicapped by the presence of "Dora" Stanton and "Scoop" Root. Henderson was effective for Council, his leather lungs being used to good advantage at third base, while Whimster provided a convenient buffer for the odd reporter who arrived at first The feminine members of the executive squad talked a great game while Cec Long in particular, showed an aptitude for grand larceny In the way she succeeded in stealing bases. Clare Donaldson talked vigorously throughout the fray but when he started on a rehearsal of his campaign speech all present Insisted on a truce. Bob Osborne, one of the many extraneous experts recruited by the wily Vance, hit the baU several times thereby causing much consternation among the joumalesses who scattered in aU directions whenever the chance of a catch in the deep field presented itself. Despite their intimate acquaintance with "copy," the Ubyssites were totally unable to copy anyone who struck the ball. In this particular they ran true to "type" with which they are so familiar. Throughout most of the contest the printers devils failed to connect with the offerings of the Council battery, and were held scoreless until Manager Vance moved into the box. The hustling prexy seemed to dish them up in a manner particularly acceptable to the Pubsters and a series of base hits, together with a couple of nice overthrows at first, accounted for the eight runs that the Muck artists forced across the plate. Dick Farrington'* fighting Senior City Canadian grid squad dung, grimly to their first place tie with Meralomas when they downed V.A.C. at the University Oval Saturday afternoon by 10-2. The fact that they wen without the services of Joe Dwyer, star halfback, didn't seem to worry the student* for they started to find holes in the' opposing line at the outset. Frank Rush made 35 yard* on two nice break* and Jack Steele swerved' and dodged hi* way through for some lengthy gam*. Frank Rush kicked to the V.A.C. deadline and Wright fumbled. In the ensuing scramble Jack Bourne pounced on the bail and was credited with a touchdown. Some V.A.C. supporten thought that their fuU-back had recovered but referee NeU Watson allowed the touch. Hisette converted to make tho score 8-0. Vacs retaliated when Wright kicked over the Varsity deadline and the students wen rouged for 1 point. In the second quarter, Rush kicked to tho deadline for Vanity and Wrignt kicked to Henderson who was rouged, making the half-time scon 7-t. Thi* quarter featured one of the most sensational play* of the day. Vacs got away for a nice run of about SO yards but when tackled their man fumbled. His fumble threw the ball into the open arm* of a team-mate v. ho had a clear field ahead of him. He too sUpped and threw the ball away. George Henderson of Varsity tore in from the middle, scooped up the loose pigskin and proceeded to skirt the Vac's end for 35 yard* before he could be downed. It was in this quarter too that Jack Steele got away the only successful forward pass of the day when he heaved the leather 30 yards to O'- Shaughnessy. Bill Morrow went through the opposing line for 35 yards on two nice bucks and •put Varsity in position for Rush's kick. Vacs were held in the third quarter by sensational tackling, Hlsette and Harold Poole being particularly outstanding in this department. The latter made more tackles than anyone else and didn't miss one. Jack Bourne was on the ball all the time and scooped up another fumble in this quarter just for good measure. Dick King, Kirby and Goumlniouck broke through the opposing line for some fine tackles. Frank Rush continued his good work in the last quarter when he intercepted a Vac pass. In the last three minutes of this quarter Hlsette hoisted a nice drop-kick over the bar to make the final score 10-2 in favor of Varsity. For V.A.C. it must be said that they were off-form. Time and again they fumbled to have a Varsity man recover and had it not been for their strong line the score would have gone even higher. It would be hard to pick an individual star for Varsity. Every man on the team was going just right. Jack Steele's broken field running had the Vacs dizzy while Henderson, Rush and Morrow made large gains through the line. Hlsette played better than he has aU season and of the tacklers King, Poole and Bourne were outstanding. The Varsity line-up: Morrison, Thornloe, Bourne, Goumlniouck, King, O'Shaughnessy, Poole, Shellng, Steele, Hisette, Morrow, Rush, Henderson, McDonald, Crysdale, Jones, Lydiatt, Sargent, Whiles TRACK CLUB NOTICE Meeting of Track Club Wednesday, March 16 at 12 noon in Arts 108.
