Charity Pep Meet Raises Record Sum Mardi Gras coordinators were jubilant as the Pep Meet Thursday noon broke the six year record for amount raised for charity. Three hundred and fifty dollars, the net proceeds at the event will be turned directly over to Muscular Dystrophy research. Highlight of the two hour long meet was a skit by prom- 1 inent facultymen called Over- 1 lords in the Underworld. Ca- i I vorting professors lampooned everything in sight—from Dr. i Gordon Shrum to Frank "Smart- University of British Colum-1 en" Gnup. Attendance at athletic events became a major issue at UBC Thursday as athletic officials blasted the Ubyssey for insufficient publicity of Wednesday's cermony honoring UBC Olympic athletes, and hoped for- adequate attendance at Saturday's Evergreen Conference Basketball opener. Men's Athletic Association, the •----■-■-■-.--■ — student-faculty body controlling athletics, Thursday night unanimously passed a resolution deploring the lack of space in Tuesday's Ubyssey given the, Olympic presentation ceremonies. A two-column box on page one was all the publicity the event icceived. A letter explaining the MAA stand from R. J. Phillips, Athletic Director, is printed on page two of today's Ubyssey. Ubyssey Editor Sandy Ross blamed lack of publicity on the Aggie Faculty edition, which occupied four pages of Thursday's eight-page paper. On another front, athletic officials worried about attendance at Saturday's opening basketball game. Pep Club President Mike Jeffery described the game as a "turning-point" for spectator sports at UBC. | "Now is the time for students to show whether or not they care about athletics," Jeffery, said. The game between Western i 'tween dosses Consequences Of Eden, Nasser Told "CONSEQUENCES OF NASSER AND EDEN" will be the topic discussed by Mr. John Gib- bard today, noon, in Arts 100.

Sports:—Joan Crocker. Bruce Allardyce and Ken Weeby. Agnosticism Organized religion as such has for the most part discouraged us. To reiterate atheistic claims of hypocracy in religion is not much in our line either, but the middle stand its untenable points. An agnostic, such as we have claimed to be from time to time, has a very hard time justifying even to himself this position. But there seems to be very little else to embrace. An athiest can justify his position as poorly as we believe most Christians do. Each has & logical construct but the basic premise—faith of an unqualifiable variety—is hard to stomack. A logical moral and philosophical ethic depending entirely on this kind of premise has ar. increasingly dangerous effect on this modern society and those in it too conditioned to accept any but the scientifically determined. Those things which have been justified and are being justified in the name of religion sometimes appall us. The end allness of dogma is frightening—whetther we look at the Inquisition or the current communist dogma. We don't have to live by dogma. We"ll admit cheerfully that the ideals are necessary and vital but ideals are malleable, and dogma is not. Any approach not malleable—and here we are being a bit dogmatic—is not operational. Reality is not a sometimes thing but eternal verities are. This religion mission next week should be very interesting. We wonder if any new approaches will be made to try and convince students that there are some eternal truths. We are the first to suggest that.a personal ehic should be developed—the last to recommend belief in anything which promises revelation into complete truths. This approach doesn't begrudge the presence on campus of such religious organization as the Newman Club or the Varsity Christian Fellowship. We, in this analysis, have committed ourselves to defending their presence. Buf we are wary of the increasing emphasis on having an unviable final criterion. W~ don't want to get maudlin, b tuwe would like to (Editor's Note: The Reverend John Stott, who is currently stumping North American campi on a sort of intellectual evangelization campaign sponsored by the Varsity Christian Fellowship, here explains the very signifioanl purpose of his visit.) By ihe Rev. John Stott I.am grateful for this opportunity to write about the Mission in the University which the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship in U.B.C. have ar-. ranged for January 21st-27th. You may be wondering what it's all about. What is the purpose ot such a Mission Perhaps I could put it this way. Every University is proud to be an Areopagus, a forum of discussion, a vast debating chamber. Views and standards previously accepted without question are submitted to vigorous critical examination. Some are thrown overboard. The bathwater of old-fashioned ideas flows swiftly down the drain, and sometimes the Christian baby goes with the bathwater. In a word, many peonle reject Christianity without ever giving it a fair hearing. They dismiss it as a religion of childhood and discard it with childhood's toys, without ever investigating it with thc honest impartiality of an adult mind. CHRISTIANITY RESPECTABLE Now we believe that the intellectual basis for Christianity is respectable. More than that, it's convincing. It can bear scrutiny. Our purpose therefore in this Mission is to bring REVEREND JOHN STOTT before thoe members of the University who care to come and listen, a reasoned statement of the Christian faith. 'Under the general title "What think ye o: Christ0'' I shall try to martial the evidence for the unique, deity cf Jesus Christ and to explain what the early apostles taught about His death en the cross I shall attempt to show why we need Him, what it means (yes. and what it costs to follow Him. and how Jo begin. Further, we believe that real and vital Christianity, far from being outmoded, is relevant to the needs of today. Not that the needs of the 20th century are greatly different from those of the first. Nor that the needs of students differ fundamental- :.mii.ru Athletic Head Raps Ubyssey Inadequacy' The Men's Athletic Committee at :!- .n-m.n unanimously passed a motion deploring the .a.gg. ai publicity in the Ubyssey in connection with the y ae.-er.tah.m. ceremony for U.B.C.'s Olympic athletes last VVefm.e'-clay. January 16th. This ceremony of all capus activitie- :n..- year v^ of .Ureatest significance, not only were these boy.- U.B.C.'s representatives, but also* they brought bac.-; jv'ici and silver medals to Canada. Wc ieel thai all U.B.C. students wore igemtiy interested an J would have attended this function. H'i'.vevcm because they wer not adequately informed of the cucji.-ion by the only campus publication, this opportunity \va.- cie-r.iod them. In tins and oiher athletic matters we suggest t.iat as a moulder of public opinion the Ubyssey ha- failed completely in its responsibility in creating interest in an athletic programme. Student activities depend so greatly upon the Ubyssey for their success or failure, and since the Ubyssey depends upon the students for its existence, we submit that the Ubyssey should adopt its proper role of maintaining that link between the planned activity and the successful s:a ; of it. R. J. PHILLIPS, For the Mens Aliovti. (. > u,mint>c ly from those of any other section ol the population. Anybody with a conscience knows his needs of forgivness. He also needs moral power to live v.p ' to his ideals: some security in a world of change; the secret of living in harmony with other people: peace of mind; a sense of purpose. Yes, this last more than anything perhaps:— Something to live for. UNCOMMITTED GENERATION A leading faculty memcer of Yale University recenty described the students of today as a "singularly uncommitted generation."' I think that msy well be true. We all prefer to sit on the fence than to get into the field of battle. But I believe that Jesus Christ is the only Person, and His cause the only cause, which is worthy of our thoughtful and total commitment. I have had the privlledg* since I left England last November of Leading Missions in the Universities of Toronto, Western Ontario, Michigan and Manitoba. I have made many new friends.

The theme this year is Mardi Gras in the Underworld; and it's a lough one. But the TIE BAR, ever-mindful of its readers' welfare, has not just being lying around smoking cigarettes and eating bonbons. For months our far-flung research staff has been touring bars and red-light districts, notebooks in hand, tireless in its search for authentic material to aid TIE BAR readers in the choice of suitable Mardi Gras garb. Here are the best suggestions resulting from the survey: il) The Walter Mulligan approach. This is for low-budget students. Wear anything, but carry three daffodills, a pair of pruning shears and a hunted look. (2) The Ali Baba Approach: This is a little more tricky,, but very effective if you can manage it. The afternoon before ihe ball, go down to the public safety building, and bail cut forty thieves. Dress them in persian pantaloons, march them into the Commodore, and amuse your friends. You may Rave to share your bottle, but you can always ditch them in Chinatown afterv,-ards, or leave them upstairs al the Zeie house. (3) The Stark Realism Approach: Wear a slouch cap and don't shave. Go from table to table, swiping bottles and stealing wallets. Your friends will laugh and nudge each other saying, "Haw, there goes Ralph —dressed as a pickpocket. How clever!" You can take a trip to Tiajuana on the proceeds, and stay drunk ior a year. (4) Come dressed entirely in TIE BAR lies. This may not win ihe prize, but it sure will please Doug Hillyier, the shuffling, stooped little man that runs ihe TIE BAR, at 712 West Pender, Before you get all wrapped up in Mardi Gras, take a look in your bureau dresser. Are you short on socks? The TIE BAR carries all kinds, all colors, including the streichable kind, thai fit anything from an amoeba's pseudopod to ihe butt-end of a telegraph pole. THE TIE BAR 712 West Pender WILD MAKDI OKAS PEP .MEET at Thursday noon saw wild Phi Gamma Delta types performing' weird, fantastic, wild rites for the furtherment of their fraternity brother Ted Golf's campaign for Mardi Gras kinship.

SPCA WOULD OBJECT Thc suggestion that Canada drop two Hydrogen Bombs on the Lybian desert prompted former Tory Jack Giles, now a Socred, to say that the SPCA "strongly objects to the dropping of Hydrogen bombs, in the interests of the camel population of the Lybian desert." ; Giles went on to state that, ■ in spite of the fact that the.

Most UBC students do not think today's undergraduates' are interested in Christianity. j This was indicated by a Ubyssey spot survey taken Thursday in connection with Rev. Stott's forthcoming VCF mission. Dissenters from the majority LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS T by Dick Bibler vote considered students interested in Christianity but not practising it. "Most students are interested but there's only a minority actually practising Christianity," j Phil Kueber, Law 2, said. \ "Students are Interested but in j student population." "Students don't find enough time to be in-, (crested in Christianity," said Jerry Davidson, Arts 2. "The majority of students are | probably interested in varying j degrees but it is a stagnant interest," Brad Crawford, Com.! 2, said. j most cases it doesn't seem to be • I a determining factor in whatj "Most people feel they have their main activities consist of to 8ive Christianity lip service in daily life," Mike Pourhari, Law 2, said. "I don't think Christianity has much meaning to the average student," Kim Husband, Law 1, said. "Christianity isn't a part of every day life and so the majority aren't interested," Gail Anderson, Education 2, said. "In my opinion about 50% of the students don't know what Christianity is," Al Melvin, Com. 2, said. On the contrary students are "probably interested but they won't admit it," said an Arts freshette. She declined to give her name. "Students aren't interested but they should be more interested," Bob Pearmain, Arts 3, said. "They're not interested because modern students are only interested in material things," said George Stevers, Arts 2. "Students aren't interested because more and more emphasis is being placed on the empirical framework, and the success and satisfaction this brings is playing havoc with Christianity," Harry Lovett, Com. 2, said. "Students aren't interested because education has proven and is proving more so everyday that Ihe belief in Scripture is based on a vague, intangible,nebular framework," said Eric Westbrood, Com. 2.

Friday niylit Birds play in Bi'llingham, then return to the Memorial Oym for thier home opener at i. p.m. Saturday. Jud'line, from the Conference standings, this seems a good chance for the Birds lo get then lirst 'aste of victory. Western, though they have a good team on paper, have not been going well lately. Last December they beat UBC in the Totem Tourney when the lighter Birds faded badly in the fourth quarter of a rough con- \ test. ! The Vikings, though not especially tall, have sonic fair- sized men for rebounds such as 21a - pound footballer Rod Schott. They also have i;ood .-.peed ar.d scoring potential, particularly in I' of Oreuon transfer, I.erov Nelson. But they are winlcss anaino Conference competition. In losing to CPS, Western looked sluggish and almost apathetic. Rumors of dissension may ex- \ plain their surprisingly poor i | showing. j If the Vikings don't work out their troubles they might be in for a surprise. The Thunderbirds don't have as good material, but they do have lots of hustle and more determination. With a little better shooting, the Birds could hustle their way into an upset. Important Game For Jayvees UBC Jayvees are playing their most crucial game of the short season this weekend. They meet last place Eilers in King Ed gym Saturday night. Remaining game on the card features first place Cloverleafs and Cloverdale who are in third place, one game ahead of Jayvees.

Throughout the game the Jewellers' managed to keep ahead by using a strong zone defence which overcame the weaker offensive play of Varsity. UBC used a man to man checking and switched into a semi-zone in the final quarter. The fouling was very heavy because of the close checking and tight defence, UBC collecting 17 fouls and Eilers 9.

Vancouver rugby Union has scheduled a full" slate of games for Saturday, in hopes that there will be a break in the weather. The same schedule as last week will be- in effect, with Varsity meeting Meralomas in the Stadium at 2 p.m. In Carmichael Cup action, the Braves meet Barbarians at Douglas East at 2 p.m. Tomahawks play Ex-Tech at Hillcrest, while Redskins meet Kats seconds at Balaclava. UBC Papooses, representing P.E., go out for their third win, as they tangle with Ex-Brits. All three games arc at 1.30. Albert Laithwaite has been putting his teams through conditioning practices in the snow during the enforced idleness. Hoping for a break in the weather are former Varsity ruggermen Mike Chambers and Clive Neil, who have returned to action since Christmas. Both will have to work to regain their former positions, but Chambers' aggressive play would aid Thunderbird forwards. BRAVES CLUB MARPOLE FIVE UBC Braves hoopsters defeated Marpole Club 77-52 on Wednesday night at Lord Byng gym. Braves' high scorer was Mitch Welters with 15 points. Bob Taylor was high for Marpole.

HALE "Jazz a la Carte" arrived in town Wednesday night with a menu that included some pretty tasteless cooking. The soup course was provided by Shorty Rodgers and . his Giants. The soup was thin, and pretty chilly. Mr. Rodgers, who is short, wears a beard, and plays a fleuglehorn, and Bill Holman, who looks like and plays tenor, like an insurance investigator, had three lengthy, linear arguments about whom was the dullest. Nobody won. The rhythm for this set was provided by Lou Levy, piano; Gary Frommcr, drums; and Max Bennet, bass. They built a solid foundation, Levy occasionally even hitting bedrock, but the two gentlemen on the front line didn't get past the studding. Stan Getz, using the same rhythm, served up the entree. This was the success of the first half, for Stan, who is always inventive, had a good deal to say, and he said it eloquently, from both the adrenal and cerebral points of view. It was a towering effort, and taking most of the rest of the concert into consideration, I am indescribably indebted to him for making it. The fish course, which seemed to be some sort of flounder, was the Dave Brubeck quartet. Dave and Paul Desmond, a saxophonist, carried on a dialogue that was too lengthy and too full of lulls. Perhaps it is over-exposure to the Ed Sullivan Show, or perhaps they have known each pther for too long; at any rate, they seem to have run out of anything of interest to themselves, or anyone else for that matter, to say to each other. The set finished with an over-long drum solo by Joe Morello, who seems to like Buddy Rich. I have no idea what sort of condiments were used in the dish that was the George Shearing Quintet perhaps it was' bitter' allum. The quintet was, anyway, the most varied, if not the most entertaining, variety act of the evening. Billie Holiday was thc dessert, and she turned out to be a dishful ot plums. I had known little of Billies art before this concert except by reputation. Ella Fitzgerald, among other notables, has always spoken of her in the highest terms. As the set progressed, I learned why. On her first two numbers Billie's music seemed to be composed of little more than a fine simplicity of line, and complete sophistication of delivery; the third demonstrated eloquently the justice of her many accolades. God Bless The Child" was as moving a jazz vocal as I ever hope to hear; certainly it explored more heights and depths than any other I have heard live. It happened again most notably on "Billie's Blues," a wry and completely charming expression of sell', and on Strange Fruit, when Billie was the bitterness and despair of the en tiro Negro race.

MATTHEWS THE RACK got a lukewarm reception from both viewers and such critics as deigned to review it, which is hardly surprising, but it IS a great pity, since it i.s an intelligent and restrained discussion of the defection of American POW's in Korea. The perceptive performance of Paul Newman in the lead role was backed by authoritative characterizations by New Schoolers Lee Marvin, Edmond O'Brien and Cloris Leachman; Old Schoolers Walter Pidgeon and Iron-Eyes Corey, and Anne Francis, who unfortunately looks too much like a spun- sugar candy confection to be pleasing in an art-type pie like this one. The film explores most of the salient points of its theme, and if it reaches no particular conclusion, then alright — it's still a stimulating discussion. HOLLYWOOD OR BUST is Martin and Lewis finishing up something they started in a previeus sex epic. "Artists and Models'' -- a definite study of the American culture. Lewis is getting fat, his jeans are bulging, and Martin looks as lumg-over as ever, and in this, their latest, a big hound-dog proves his innate superiority to the humans involved by demonstrating that he drives bet ter, is stronger, and is a good deal better dressed. " Lewis in this pic, appears at first to be an innocent, if moronic, movie fan. It turns out that he's actually a determined voyeur whose chief ambition in life is to get a glimpse of Anita Ekberg's undies. Martin plays a smooth-talking thug who falls for a girl (Pat Crowley), who looks, due, I suspect, to thc injudicious application of pink pancake make-up, like a boiled lobster. They spend most of the picture travelling from New York to Hollywood. Among ' the Wonders of America seen along the way; New England farm girls dressed in bikinis and perched in fornicatory altitudes on fences; Oklahoma Indians performing a rock-and- roll war dance; the sex-equals- money equation at Las Vegas; and Miss Ekberg. who is not only the most breathtaking, but also the least reprehensible of these spectacles. Sunday's Symphony By MARTIN BARTLETT The time: Sunday last, at about 5:30 p.m. The place: The Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver. The sounds: The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra massacring Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto. It really was pitiful. The As for the rest of the con- thing got off to a grand start cert, it is hard to be kind. at tho very beginning of the work when the orchestra came in a beat late on its first cue. Things got progressively worse as Moisewitsch, trying valiantly to keep in step with an orchestra, made goof after desperate goof. It sounded like a first rehearsal; the moderalo pasages were played andante, and the allegro passages moderalo, while Irwin Hoffman gyrated about on the podium like Elvis Presley in one of his wilder moods. Tho Rachmaninov Second Piano Concerto itself a mediocre work is one which places miuch more emphasis on flowery virtuosic cadenzas and col- ouristic passages for the soloist than on real music of any depth or subtlety. The piano tinkles away at great length, while the orchestra is reduced to the nature of a syrupy accompaniment to popularis- tic melodies. Had Moiseiwitsch been given half a chance, his old-school hammer - and-tongs interpretation of it might have been more effective than most versions of the work. A* it was. it would probably have been better for all concerned, soloist orchestra, and audience, if he had stayed at home and practised, instead of insulting the rather low aggregate intelligence of a Vancouver audience with an abominable pe r form a nee. Chausson's Symphony in B flat, a piece of post-romantic frippery full of sound and fury, signifying very little, signified even less when the Vancouver Symphony had finished with it. The brass section gambolled about like a herd of inebriated five-footed elephants plunging through a quagmire of their own making, and the strings sounded syrupy and Mantovani-ish. He was unable to "irwinize" the Turner "Theatre Overture ' sufficiently to spoil its innate gaiety and charm, however, and this happy little work provided the only bright spot in what was undoubtedly the worst of a whole series of very poor concerts. In order that I may not be accused of being merely malicious and destructive, I sub mit as a postscript the two- suggestions which might largely holp to restore the Vancouver Symphony to a reasonable piano of competence.. They are very simple: 1. Give the brass section a short intensive course on how to play their instruments, and 2, get rid of Irwin! It would be better to have no conductor at all than to have that one. All those wishing to contribute criticism for this page should contact editor Debbie Greenberg.
