This year, UBC has an enrolment of over ten thousand students. Of this number, less than one third (3,000) was set as the objective. To date only 1,365 have donated. This leaves 1615 pints to be donated today. Here are some of the faculty standings thus far: Forestry, 172%, Nurses 100%, Theo. 101%, Eng. 66%, Med. 70%. The rest are below 50%, with the frosh far behind with 28%.. Officials have expressed their concern over the poor showing of the student body, and they are hoping for a much better turn out today. If your faculty is below their quota, today is your last chance to help them win. It costs no more than a half hour to donate and free cokes arc available to all those who do. Although the female counterpart of the student body is outnumbered 3-1, they are being outdonated 5-1. Here are some comments from a few of Thursday's donors: "This is my second donation, and it was a cinch," said Shirley Tomalty, "I am a little disappointed at the turn out because (Continued on Page 3) See BLOOD DRIVE FACULTY REPLY TO EDITORIAL ON PAGE 2 UBC Faculty Association has replied to The Ubyssey's "Open Letter to the Faculty" editorial which appeared Thursday.

A special meeting of the Brock Management Committee was held at 1 p.m. Wednesday for those clubs who did not submit briefs. CHARGE REFUTED Approximately 25 representatives of the various campus clubs appeared to refute the charge of student apathy printed in the last Ubyssey. Laurie Frisbee, former executive member of Mamooks, informed the Ubyssey that the club at present has no one of executive ability, as the membership is largely Frosh. The committee decided to let Mamooks keep their room. REPORT AMBIGUOUS Dave Pears, president of! Mussoc thought that the com-1 mittee's letter was directed to-; ward the clubs in the Brock Extension. The misunderstanding was cleared up with the committee chairman Jim Horsman, Mussoc will be allowed to remain in their hut. When questioned on the indifference of the U.N. Club, one member claimed it was "busy in the service of man", certainly not apathetic. Lome Payne of the Christain Science Union denied having received the committee's letter, and wias consequently forgiven. Civil Liberties, Critic's Circle and the Political Science Unions eventually contacted the committee. Ron Pearson will post eviction notices for the other clubs, at the committee's discretion. The Committee Room in the upstairs Brock has been changed to a common room for the use of all students. Horsman stated "everyone can use it, but no one can have meetings there." The Chess and Bridge Club's request to hold their weekly meeting in tiie Mildred Brock Room was emphatically rejected, despite the president's plea that the club be moved from, its "dungeon downstairs". Academic Symposium will share a room with NFCUS. <$- Anthropologists Present Dr. Read Dr. Margaret Read, C.B.E., one of the world's leading anthropologists arrives in Vancouver at 7 a.m. October 13.

Kerry Feltham SENIOR EDITOR, BRUCE TAYLOR Reporters and Desk: Brenda Runge, Jody Frain, Karry White, GUEST EDITORIAL Faculty Replies (Ed. Note: The Ubyssey today turns over its editorial columns to Professor A. W. R. Carrothers, President of the Faculty Association, in order thnt he may reply to our editorial "Open Letter to the Faculty" which appeared in Thursday's paper). Dear Mr. Robertson: There are three points which I should like to make in respect of your Open Letter to the Faculty in today's Ubyssey. First, the document to which your letter refers was a draft brief sent only to members of the Faculty Association, for their consideration at a special meeting called for that purpose and open only to members of the Association. Today's Ubyssey was published before the members of the Association had an opportunity to express individual or collective views on the subject. It is appreciated, however, that the object of your letter was not to publicize a confidential document, but to invite members of the Faculty Association to address their attention, prior to voting on the draft brief, to the important question of the relation of fees to the support of the University by public funds. Second, the brief is addressed to the Board of Governors. That fact has a two-fold significance. In the first instance, the Board will by inadvertence hear oof the brief from the daily press before the Association has an opportunity to present the brief to the Board through official representation by the Executive of the Association. In the second instance, and more important to the subject-matter of your letter, the Board of Governors knows the views of the Faculty Association in the past respecting student fees, and it wa.s not considered necessary or appropriate to enlarge upon the subject in this document. The third point deals with the position of the Faculty Association respecting student fees. In the spring of 1957 the Association went on record as favoring the raising of student fees only as a last resort. This view was affirmed in the spring of this year, Further, the Association has in previous briefs supported the principle that the maintenance of this University, a provincial institution, is constitutionally the responsibility of the Provincial government. But the financial responsibilities of the University are placed by the University Act on the Board of Governors. The Faculty Association conceives it to be its proper function to make representations on these matters to the Board itself, not independently of the Board, and to work with the Board in the common task of maintaining this University as a worthy institution, In addition, however, the members of the Faculty Association are members of the Canadian Association of University Teachers. Our members on the Council of CAUT 'have consistently advocated that CAUT take a firm stand on federal support for Canadian universities, and at. the present time a committee of our local Association is preparing a report for the Council on the subject, ofuniversity financing, including the question of a program ot scholarships and bursaries referred to in our letter. I think it can hv seen from tho fort-going thai the Faculty Association al U.B.C. i.s not unmindful of the problems which prompted the writing- of your letter, nor is il idle in respect; of thorn, Yours sincerely, A. W. R. CARROTHERS, President, Faculty Association, University- of British Columbia Lets Keep The General Meeting •Ed. Note: The Ubyssey Tuesday ran a story to the effect that a majority of delegates to Leadership Conference had prefferred a change from the present student government system. Jack Giles, Law III, took the negative in a Conference debate on the subject of representative government. Here is his argument against the proposed system). I am firmly convinced that •- the current dissatisfaction with the General Meeting results from an exaggeration of its importance and a misinterpretation of its purpose. Many peole have the idea that a General Meeting is, or if it isn't, should be an operating part of Studenl Government Machinery, in the manner of an enormous Parliament. When General Meetings are judged by this standard they come out looking very badly. When this criterion is used they are everything they accuse them of being: unrepresentative, unwieldy, boisterous, chaotic, etc. However, the inclination to think of the General Meetings in these terms I regard as symptomatic of a complete misconception of the principles upon which our present form of Student Government is based. The false assumption is that we possess an attempt at representative government, when in fact we possess a highly successful form of responsible government. In lhe Sludents' Council we find a combination of executive and legislative responsible lo all ihe students. The Students' Council is only broadly representative; no faculties, committees or pres- Raucous Braying Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: Must the students of this campus continue to be subjected to the raucous braying of the University Radio Society's sound cars? There is no need whatever for this "service", for every student, saving the most apathetic whom nothing can stir, knows what is happening on campus of interest to him through observing posters or through the adequate coverage of activities in The Ubyssey. Last year, the Students' Council retricted the use of sound cars to noon-hours and to the seven-minute breaks between classes. We strongly Feel, however, that a complete ban is long overdue. A sound car going up and down outside the window is hardly conducive to studying. Studenls who are not studying have any hopes for a IVw minutes relaxation shallot-eel by this damned schoeching. It. is high lime that these Radsoc types were un-pluggod. Yours truly, JACK CRESSWELL. filh Education ALAN FILMKR. 2 Commerce JOHN' D. HAWLRY, 4th Arts and Science sure groups have specific representation. Women and Athletics are unnecessary exceptions to this rule. These groups have individual councillors to administer their affairs. However, they are elected by, and thus responsible to, the students as a whole. The Chairman of the University Clubs Committee is no more a representative of the clubs than the Minister of National Defence is a representative of the Armed Services. The next question is; if the General Meeting is not to be regarded as an enormous Parliament then how is it to be regarded? I answer ihis by claiming that ihe General Meeting should be regarded as little more than an overt symbol of the students' latent legislative capacity. I mean that legislative power the students have refrained from giving to their responsible legislative the Students' Council. After all the Council is a body we all elect, and I do not think it is unreasonable to suggest that it is deserving of our trust and confidence! I see a significant parallel between a community such as UBC consisting of ten thousand, electing fifteen people for one year, and a community such as Canada consisting of sixteen million, electing two hundred and sixty five people for five years. In both you find a combination of executive and legislature and thus both are described as responsible government. The fact that in our Council the legislature and the executive are the same size and thus the same people, in no way derogates from its status as a responsible government. Barring consideration of the British North America Act, the only significant distinction between the Parliament of Canada and our Students' Council is that the former has complete legislative capacity and in the latter the electorate has retained partial legislative capacity. It is my belief therefore that the proposal to substitute a representative assembly for the General Meeting is premised upon the assumption that the General Meeting is failing to perform a representative function that it has never performed, should not perform, and does not need to perform. The greatest gift of the British peoples to ihe civilized world is that concept of Gov- (Continued on Page 3) See LET'S KEEP Meekison Answered Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: With regard to the letter in Thursday's Ubyssey from Leadership Conference chairman, Peter Meekison, I should like to point out several serious misapprehensions under which the chairman seems to be laboring. Firstly, had the chairman bothered to read the whole story, or had assimilated the material therein, he might have found that his "reservations" were indeed included in the story. As the reporter for the Conference, I felt that I had recorded the opinions of the majority, namely that the concept of representative government had been accepted "with reservations," The story devoted over one-third of its space to the "reservations" of the delegates. Regarding the chairman's complaint that not enough sfiaee in The Ubyssey had been devoted to lhe Conference, perhaps he doesn't realize thai some oilier people may also have a distorted opinion of the importance of their interests, and tht- space which should be a Doted lo ihem in The Ubyssey, To quote a person who had read tUe letter in question: — "What would Meekison suggest be taken out — the clubs' column? In any case, the Conference received 30 column inches of space in the first issue, twice that usually allotted for the most important story of an issue, and another 25 inches in the following edition (the one in which his letter appeared). But it would be nice if someday these people realized that there are things equally important to OTHER people, which THEY want to read about in the university newspaper. Yours truly, KERRY FELTHAM, Arts III. What? Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: In commenting on Al For- rest's "Campus Beat" of Oct. T, I feel that it is only neees,sary to quote the fine old Latin phrase "Slercum tauri cerebrum vincit." Sincerely, FRANK BRYANT. Arls II (Ed, Note:—Sounds like a lo! of bull to us. What does it mean?) Friday, October 10, 1958 THE UBYSSEY PAGE THREE LET'S KEEP THE GENERAL MEETING ernment known as responsible Government. It is broadly representative, it is simple, it is democratic, and it works. It is the system adopted in Canada, and considering that we are Canadians I feel it is eminently desirable that it be the system we retain at URC, If we were Americans there might be some argument for attempting to implement a real form of representative Government in spite of its drawbacks. It is these drawbacks that I would now like to examine. First I will turn to those difficulties that arise by virtue of the introducion of such a form of Government to the UBC context. The most glaring is the constitutional inconsistency which automatically arises out of a false understanding of the nature of our present form of Government. At the present time the Students' Council is a responsible body, the proponents of representative government erroneously imagine that the General Meeting theoretically is, and in fact ought to be, a representative body. Proceeding upon this assumption they conclude it is a bad representative body so they say they will make a new representative body which will be better: namely a representative assembly. The latter, when lhe flaw in ihis type of thinking is revealed, emerges as something entirely new something that never existed before at all. Therefore, if this proposal was implemented, we could have a responsible council and a representative assembly, with the council in the unenviable position of being responsible to thc students as a whole who elected them and at the mercy of an assembly who did not. A situation most conductive to conflict and obstruction. Tiie council winning off a referendum every time they belt the policy of the assembly which conflicted vvith their duty to the students. The fact lhat the general meeting as such is unrepresentative, is a source of alarm only to those who believe it ought to be representative, I have always regarded voting as consisting ol: three rather than two alternatives, i.e., one may vote 'Yes', "No', or not at; all. The Hitler being known as abstaining. i Those who do not attend General Meetings are abstaining, precisely as they would be abstaining if Ihey failed to vole in a referedum, a campus election, or even in electing delegates to a representative assembly. Therefore, by the operation of tliis element aw democratic ■ i pridplo, I believe that, those who do attend General. Meetings are thoroughly entitled to enjoy whatever action they take. The proposed representative form of government suggests one delegate per fifty students, as well as representatives from various pressure groups. And then it is claimed that (Continued from Page 2) in theory this is no different from a General Meeting except that it is an improvement in pratice by virtue of the fact tha it is 'more representative'. Representative of what? How do you represent an abstainer. The Faculty of Arts by this plan is permitted forty-four delegates, according to the best sources of information available that faculty has the greatest difficulty in getting forty- four people out to a meelng. let alone elect such a number io representative office. On the other hand we have the Faculty of Law with five delegates and the faculties of Commerce and Engineering with similarly few delegates. When you consider that it is from these faculties that the great wealth of student leadership is drawn, surely even the most fervant disciple of representative government is given cause to reconsider. Particularly when reminded that in General Meetings, General Elections and referendums, the abstainers by exercising a democratic prerogative in not voting delegate the influence of their ballot to those who do vote. The description of Representative Government in the proposal to set up a legislative assembly at UBC is not true representative government at all the only thing representative about it is the assembly. In fact the proposal as outlined by the Brawner report is a bastard proposal; it is neither fish nor fowl. It combines the worst of both types of Government and the best of neither, On the one hand you have a responsible Council, but it is responsible not as an executive to an assembly, but as a legislative to an electorate. On the other hand you have a representative assembly which shares its legislative capacity with its own executive; i.e., representative government without separation of powers. If you are an adhearenl of real representative government, after the American fashion, then you should propose| that the assembly wield all legislative power, and the capacity of the Council or executive should be purely administrative within the limits pre- Un iversity Driver Training Wo arc pleased lo announce INDIVIDUAL INSTRUCTION to U.B.C.

School scribed by legislation passed in the assembly, It is my personal opinion that regardless of the fact that we are Canadians, responsible government is the superior form. It has greater flexibility, is less susceptible lo a deadlock, and by demonstrating faith and confidence in our elected leaders, it serves to elevate the dignity of political office. Considering this is the type of Government we now possess, and has been functioning for some time with mechanical excellence, I submit that the introduction of a representative Assembly as a result of an illusory conception of the purpose of the General Meeting would have a cripplving effect on the conduct of good student government at UBC.

In its place the UBC is pleased to run an exclusive interview with Miss Marianne Moore. by Rosemary Kent-Barber A living American legend came to UBC Wednesday. Marianne Moore, born Nov. 15, 1887 and still writing and creating today, came to the campus. Her work, simple, clear-cut. strong and sure, is included in every major anthology. Her latest collection, a translation of La Fontain's "Fables" is a best seller in the world of letters. She read her own poetry at noon, attended a special sem- minar for campus writers in the afternoon and a reception given by Mrs. Laura MacKenzie that evening. She remained throughout her friendly, courteous warmth and charm particularly to any students present at any time. And she talked continously to those who asked of poetry, of writing, of creating, of the active world of art and letters. Her voice wasn't musical, it was almost harsh, But it was compelling, it was vital, it was alive. She gives the impression of Complete vitality. Of strength. Of warmth not gushing but sincere and sure. Her clothes were very simple. She wore a black velvet dress and black low heels, the same dress and the same shoes for! her recital, her seminar and her reception. No make-up. She wore a small black three- cornered hat at her recital. Her gray hair drifted over her j shoulders at the seminar, It j was coiled and piled on her head 1 in the evening. j She had two wrist watches I on her left wrist and two nar- j row gold bracelets and a little i gold ring on her right hand, i No other jewelry, j She's a witty woman. The j I Frosh election campaigns ex-1 ploded outside the the auditor-! j ium at noon and the sponsoring 1 Fine Arts Committee blushed. j Miss Moore laughted. "I have arrived," she said with mock- : dramatic seriousness and went on reading. She's a name dropper but not in the conventional sense. She actually has met, made friends of, known, talked to every leading writer and artist in America and Europe today. She talks well about them. At the seminar and at the reception it was the students she wanted to talk to, to listen to, encourage. She did. What did she think of current campus writing and of Raven? "Good, very good." Particularly Raven. "One of the best campus publications I've seen. Very adult and realistic." What advice for young writers? "Courage — to go on writing." Courage for living. Young writers came to her, she said, and asked if they should go on writing.

Your Campus Branch in the Administration Building MERLE C. KJRBY, Manager If there was any doubt, if there was any question of stopping, then they were self-answered, she said. A graduate of Bryn Mawr, Miss Moore went home to look after her mother after leaving college. Then she taught school, Indian children, and was a librarian. But she always kept on writing. At one time she wanted to be a painter. She still does paint. "A very little," she said. From 1925-1929 she edited Dial Magazine, perhaps the leading American poetry publication. Today she occasionally lectures and reads manuscripts for several New York publishing houses. NOON HOUR CONCERTS WILL PRESENT VARIED PROGRAMME UBC's weekly noon-hour concerts will offer a repe- toire of instrumental concertos this winter.

UNIVERSITY PHARMACY l12 Blocks East of Pool AL. 0339 Iturbi Was "The Most" By BRENDA RUNGE A small grey man walked on to the auditorium stage Monday noon; exchanged the piano bench for a chair and ran his fingers up the keyboard. When the applause had stopped, he asked the audience in a soft Spanish accent, what he should play for them. With no waste effort, the great Jose Iturbi began his recital. After warming up with a Largo and Fugue by Bach, he played t h e popular "Fantasie Impromptu" to an enthusiastic audience which overflowed into the aisles and onto the stage. Two other Chopin pieces gave opportunity to observe the artist's flawless, almost cold technique. He is a controlled player with an uncanny ability to change moods, and carry his audience with him. The strange and modern "Funeral March" by Lazarre was received with amazement by some and enthusiasm by most Jazz lovers. The intriguing "Malaguena" by Albeniz, and "Pantomine" and Firedance" completed the recital. The oblique rhythms were mechanically perfect. The audience sat spellbound through the one-thirty bell and Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." This humble and happy-appearing man with the engaging ' smile came out to the university on the request of the Special Events Committee, because he thought many of the students would not be able to afford his performance on Tuesday even- ; ing with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. He hopes his appearance will encourage- appreciation of good music. | Those who did not leave too ! Delegates started arriving for the four-day conference Wednesday.

BERNO PELL AT CO-CAPTAINS Members of the UBC Thunderbird Swim Team have elected Peter Pellat and Ernie Berno for their co-captains of the 1958- 59 season. Berno, a first class Pre-med student, joined the team last year and since has shone as an outstanding sprinter. Co-captain Pellat is a Commerce student and the main stay in UBC's diving division. Both members along with the entire team are now training for the forth coming swim meets. Last year, UBC made a clean sweep of Evergreen team and took top honors in the Evergreen Conference Meet. Len Cox was introduced as the new Public Relations Offi cer for UBC athletics. Cox out lined his group's programme for the coming year. Eligibility forms were explained by Bus Phillips. These forms are very vital to the team coaches and should be filled out as soon as possible and turned into team managers. Jayvees Playing Here Saturday Against W.W. The winless UBC JayVees football squad will be trying for their first win of the season when they meet the Junior Varsity squad from Western Washington. Their chances of breaking into the win column may be seriously affected due to the fact that first string quarterback George Home may not see any action because of a broken nose. Home's replacement would most likely be Gordie Perkins, former pilot of CYO in the junior Big Four, In practice Thursday night, the JV backfield looked impressive as they ran through and over the big Thunderbird line. The general concensus though is that they lack the bench strength but should c o m e through with a good display as long as the first stringers hold out.

SPORTS 'N VIEWS By BOB BUSH The services of a valuable man are going to waste. Sid Howe is no longer acting one of the gang. Ten years ago Sid started as a janitor around the Stadium. In his spare time he helped the fellows who changed by providing towel service, looking after lockers and in general, helped the boys in any way possible. His services were invaluable lo lhe members of the rugger, soccer, rowing, track, and cross-country teams. He also helped Mr. Bus Phillips in many matters. Some years ago, the fellows on the Rugby team were willing to pay out of their own pockets so lhat Sid could accompany the team to California. Sid has been an understudy of the great UBC trainer, John Owens. Now Sid has been relieved of his part in the Stadium. John has been ill. Now the athletes using the Stadium are very poorly serviced for athletic endeavors. Towel service is very inefficient. Lockers now have to be rented. Facilities, such as whirlpool baths, are not always available. Trainer aid is limited. Athletes of teams of university level do not enjoy conveniences that should be offered them. Something must be done soon to help regain the efficient manner that once was in the Stadium, especially now, when John Owens is ill. Sid Howe is ihe man. Some thought by the School of Physical Education and Buildings and Grounds should be given to this matter. UBC Thunderbird footballers are somewhat out of practice when it comes to making good a convert. Saturday, the Birds made ™ood on only one convert, while trying for four. The reason being lhat UBC has seldom enjoyed the position of a try for extra points. As of now, the Birds are two touchdowns short of the total number attained in all of last year's games. Athletes who think that the Swimming Coach, Peter Lusztig, is an old fellow, might take a look at the record board in the Gym. Amongst the names of Bagshaw, Tribe, Berno, for 1958, one will find the name of Lusztig beside the 1950-51 records for relay races. Yes, it is the same Peter Lusztig who was Men's Athletic Association President in 1953, and is at present the young, active, coach of the Evergreen Champion Swim Team, UBC. The Thunderbird Booster Club deserves a pat on the back for Ihe efforts of their club. The club's president, John Goodwin, is a hard worker and will need the ready help of varh/js groups on campus to assure the complete success of thc T.B.C. Congratulations to the newly elected Co-captains Ernie Berno and Peter Pellat of the UBC Thunderbird Swim Team. Both are able swimmers with a lot of latent talent. Is there an age when one should stop trying at strenuous, sports? If there is, ask Dr. Howell. He tried rugger last weekend] and still is having trouble hiding the limp he has. Seems that he ; fell into something he couldn't get out of. TOUCH FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Beta 1 vs. Eng. 3, Field 1 Ramblers vs. USCA, Field 2 Phi Kappa Sigma vs. V.C.F., Field 3 _.

UBYSSEY PAGE SEVEN ACTION AND PLENTY OF IT will result this weekend when the UBC Thunderbirds meet up with the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma. The Birds and C.P.S. have met twelve times previous without a win for the UBC squad. UBC is still looking for win number one in 1958 play. — Photo by Mike Sone UBC Looking For First Win When They Meet Puget Sound It will be try number thirteen for the UBC Thunderbirds and they hope to win their first game of the current season. Saturday, thc Birds meet the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma. This will be the thirteenth time the two schools have met. UBC has lost in every encounter. But things should be different this time for the blue and gold. Mainly, the Puget Sound team, second place finishers last year in the Evergreen, have had troubles of their own. Two vv^eks ago, they lost to Seattle Ramblers, 27-7. Last week they lost out to Central Washington. The big difference being in this year's game is the new attitude of the Thunderbirds. The Birds are out to win and are showing it, They are determined. They hunger for victory especially after losing by two points to the strong Seattle club last weekend. The Birds have their hopes 'iigh for a first win. The team P I z z A at the SNACKERY Granville at 15th is in good shape and are in fine spirits. No injuries plague the Birds at present and their reserve strength is becoming better as the season has progressed. Statistics released today by Jack Bush show that the principle complete total ground gainer for the Birds is Don Vassos. Vassos has gathered 246 yard; while teammate and team cap tain Jack Henwood has picked up 150 yards.

PAGE EIGHT THE UBYSSEY Fridav, October 10, 1958 INCO METALS AT WORK IN CANADA You'll travel faster...more comfortably aboard new ffiautteoAtSfew trains ^^i CONTAINING INCO NICKEL ^ New self-propelled railway cars are made in Canada of stainless steel containing Inco Nickel. They're completely air-conditioned .., smooth- running . .. strong, lightweight, fast. Each car has its own engines and controls. It can operate as a one-car unit or as part of a train of cars. Result: better service... because railroads can schedule lower cost single-car trips to accommodate passengers during off hours. The new cars are as efficient and economical as they are comfortable and convenient. And nickel-containing stainless steel helps make them so. They travel faster with greater safety—cost less to operate. Stainless steel doesn't need painting; it tends to wash itself clean in every rainfall. Maintenance costs are negligible. Nickel helps give stainless steel its exceptional strength and its resistance to rust and corrosion , . . makes it easier to fabricate. Another way that Inco Nickel serves the Canadian industries that serve you. Inco has recently published a colourfully illustrated 32-page booklet about Canada's nickel industry, entitled "The Exciting Story of Nicker. It is written primarily for Canadian youth by Alan King, but adults will also find it full of interesting information.
