T VOL. XVI. Issued Twice Weekly by the Students' Publications Board of The University of British Columbia VANCOUVER, B. C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1934 No. 30 Disting Italians^ U.B.C Talks Second International Week To Feature Italians An extensive program of lectures by distinguished Italian speakers k planned for the University under tho auspices of the National Council of Education beginning on Feb. 15. A series of International Weeks haa been planned, of which the Italian week will be the second, the first being held last year. The lectures are planned to illustrate the educational, cultural and economic life of Italy. The guests of the National Council are all prominent in their respective spheres. On Thursday noon, Feb. IS, Don Mario Colonna, due dl Rlgnano will be the guest of honor. The duke is a son of Prince Colonna, formerly Italian ambassador to London, and comas of one of tha'most distinguished Italian families, who have maintained a tradition of service in the building of modern Italy. His topic will be of an econmlc nature, as he haa specialised In the study of the ecooomio development of the modem corporate state. Italy and World Coodtttoos On Thursday evening Don Mario will deliver a lecture in the university auditorium on the subject of "Italy and World Conditions." This will be open to the general public. The regular Saturday meeting of the Vancouver Institute on Feb. 17 will also be taken over by the National Council. The speakers will be Signor Eugenio F. Croizat and Sig- norina Amy Bernardy. Signor Croizat is an Italian lecturer of international reputation on painting and sculpture. Signorina Bernardy is an outstanding woman scholar, formerly Professor of Italian at Smith College. She now holds an important position at the Literature department of the University of Florence. On Tuesday, Feb. 20, Signor Croizat will deliver an illustrated lecture on Italian art at 3:15 in Arte 100. Hie following noon Signoina Bernardy will be the guest of honor at a special noon-hour meeting, which will conclude the aeries. Frat Menace Upsets Calm Of Queen's U. The fraternity question seems to be creating a great deal of agitation on the campus of Queen's University at Kingston. So far these organizations have not yet secured any official recognition. In the recent student elections definite stands for and against fraternities were taken by the candidates, and on the whole the anti-fraternity party was successful. Nevertheless there are now two unofficial fraternities on the campus, one for medical students only. There is also another club that performs the functions of a fraternity. The chief opposition to recognition seems to arise from a fear that fraternities will injure the student spirit that is so noticeably a feature of Queens life. A recent survey conducted by the Queen's Journal is on the whole rather sympathetic to fraternities, al- thought it manages to be non-committal. The chief probbm lies in whether to give the fraternities official recognition, or allow them to carry on an underground existence. In spite of the wishes of the vast majority of the students, there seems but little doubt but that frats will soon be flourishing openly on the campus. CORRECTION Student Government Imperilled TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: As a result of the fights, organized or otherwise, between the faculties of Arts and Science during the last few weeks, the Board of Governors have seen fit to order an investigation into the whole matter. The attitude of the Board of Governors can be understood quite easily when we consider the findings of the courts in recent cases against universities and schools in Canada. As a result of these, it is quite readily seen that this University is likely td be held responsible for all damage occuring to life or property during the aforementioned fights. Naturally the Governors must protect the interests of the University and they have intimated as a result that unless this fighting is stopped by the students themselves, drastic action will be taken. The nature of this action will undoubtedly be the expulsion of all participants and the probability that the powers of Student Government will be greatly curtailed. We ask, therefore, that in the future all student in the University desist from taking part in fights of any kind on the campus. If one has not respect for the fate of our Student Government,4 he will at least consider his own danger of being expelled. DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE. Gold Mining In B.C. Topic Of Galloway "Oold Mining in British Columbia" will be the subject of an address to be given by Mr. J. D. Galloway, Provincial Mineralogist, in Arts 100, Saturday evening at 8:15 p.m. There are few subjects In which there is more widespread and acute general interest throughout the city end province than in the mining of gold. The recent increase in the value of the metal, and improved methods of mining and milling, have rendered profitable many low-bearing gold mining undertakings that hitherto were non-paying investments. Mr. Galloway's extensive and exact knowledge of the mineral resources of British Columbia, and his prolonged official service, make him an authority on this subject. The amount of the prizes which the W.C.T.U. is offering U.B.C. students for essays on subjects regarding temperence is $100.00 and not $1000.00 as stated incorrectly in last Ubyssey. 'Out of a JobV Sell Insurance Says Speaker "The insurance business provides unlimited scope for advancement," stated Mr. H. O. Arkley, at the Vocational Guidance Lecture, Wednesday noon. Emphasizing the breadth of the insurance field, Mr. Arkley remarked that his company alone handled seventy varieties of casualty insurance with new types continually appearing. No man can hope to succeed in business unless he believes his work is the most interesting, important and necessary. This fact is especially applicable to the insurance business. A man must begin at the bottom. In some cases it is well to spend a year or two clerking in the offices to learn the fundamentals of the business. Again it is better to commence right in the selling field. God salesmen are essential and though some men are born as such the majority have to be developed. "In this development," Mr. Arkley continued, "there are five important qualification. First, Knowledge — A salesman must have a thorough grasp of his subject before he can gain and hold his customer's confidence. To keep abreast of new developments, continual study must be maintained. Second, Imagination — The agent is selling an article which has no tangible form, and for which the immediate need is not apparent Imagination is necessary to make the urgency of that possible need very vivid. Third, Continued Interest—The disappointments due to unsuccessful attempts must not dampe.i the salesman's ardour. He must maintain his enthusiasm, Fourth, Honesty — This quality is essential in all work but especially in this occupation. The company relie.i on thc salesman to provide true facts concerning the risks of the prospective buyer. In the collection of cash premiums, the salesman must at all costs resist the temptation to borrow a little. Thi. habit once begun leads to failure. Fifth, Prospect consciousness — This quality should be developed quickly. (Continued on Page 3) 1 Spwker 1 J. D. GALLOWAY Provincial Mineralogist, who is the speaker at the Vancouver Institute tomorrow evening. He will speak on a topic of wide interest to studenta, "Gold Mining In British Columbia." National Cultures Shown At .Concert Over sixty were present when Dean Bollert was hostess to the Cosmopolitan Club concert and tea Wednesday afternoon in the Women's lower common room. The program included the following numbers which represented the culture of different national groups present on the campus. The following numbers were included: a violin sold by Peter Mavsuda accompanied by John Nakashuna "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal," sung by Mrs. Doughty and accompanied by Mrs. G. McMaster. The reading of two French symboliste poems by Joan Dangel- zerz followed. A Chinese piece played on a Chinese harp by Jennie Chan was most enthusaistically received by the audience. Later in the program Miss Chan favoured the Club with a second selection. Miss Elphick gave a Scotch solo dance and was accompanied by Miss Collins on the bagpipe-. Miss Margaret Kaye gave a selection on the piano and Miss Florence Foellmer sang a song in German. The concert was closed, with two songs by Miss Alice Rowe —the first was in French and the second one a translation from the German, "Sing mo to Sleep." The guests of honour were Mrs. Seto More and Mrs. A. Gibb and President K. Klinck. The gathering was made more distinctive by the presence of four girls in native costume and the serving of two kinds of Chinese confectionery. Hungry Pep Fathers Invade Hi-Jinx Debauch BUT CO-ED AMAZONS SUCCESSFULLY REPULSE INVADERS The Amazon ancestors of our sweet co-eds made themselves felt laat night when infuriated Hi Jinkers lost their ao-called dignity and mobbed unfortunate Pep Clubbers who attempted an invasion of the time-consecrated women's function. Nurses were preparing for their •kit when a line of gaily painted creatures appeared in the background, evidently part of the program. flhey raised a banner on which was emblazoned "Hi Jinx is Unfair to Male Labour." At the sound of a booming chorus of "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" a shrill shocked "Oooooh!" arose from the grandstand, and within the space of one split second the floor was swarming with avenging females. The unhappy males were driven slowly but surely through the door, terrified by shouts of "cut their hair!" and according to the ancient tradition two massive pairs of ads sors made their appearance. Co-eds vied with each other for scalps and finally the dor slammed to the accompaniment of crlea of victory. Two minor invasions later in the evening were successfully repulsed and it ia doubtful whether another attempt will be made next year aa the girls say they are perfecting an organized system of complete haircuts which will put laat night's harboring in the shade. Costumes at the Fancy Dress function were of many and varied design. Pirates, gypaies, nurses, hikers, and South Sea Island maidens—even Felix the Cat and the Big Bed Wolf- mingled with the celtbritlee of ecreen and novel in a colorful array. Winners for costumes included: Margaret Winter, for the prettiest costume; Audrey Horton, for the least expensive, yet novel attire. The prize for the funniest costume was won by a horse, led by the cowboy, Helen Lowe. Margaret Cunningham and Ethelyne Chandler were decided to have acted out their costumes best throughout the evening. They were Charwomen. Prizes were presented by Dr. Maclnnes.

Considerable annoyance was expressed by members of Council at their meeting Monday night at the attitude adopted by the Science Men's Undergraduate Executive with regard to the allocation o! complimentary tickets to the Science Ball. In the final complimentary list passed by the executive it was found that council members were given single tickets while subordinate officers on the campus were given double tickets. —- It was felt by the meeting that a HISTORY GRADUATES ACHIEVE DISTINCTION IN SCHOLASTIC WORK "Dr. Sylvia L.^Thrupp has just published a short history of the worshipful Company of Bakers," announces Professor Sage of the History Department. This piece of research was financed by the Bakers Company of London — one of the old chartered Companies of London, dating back to the fifteenth century. Dr. Thrupp, a Master of Arts from U.B.C., was chosen for this work on account of her research into the history of The Grocer's and Mercer's Company. The Baker's Co., to judge from the preface to the book, written by the Master of the Company, were very pleased with the thorough character of her work. She has recently arrived ln the U.S.A. to commence research as a fellow under the Social Science Research Council. Another announcement tells us that E. J. Knapton, former Rhodes Scholar from this University ,has been awardde his Dr. of Philosopny in History at Harvard. He is at present on the staff of Wheaton College, Newton, Mass.

A Valedictory committee will be appointed. Any Ideas for the gift wil Ibe welcome. Fees will be discussed. Book exchange vouchers will be cashed at the Accountant's office from today, noon. Radio Debaters Find Capital P-jttsbmeDt OX Ample Justification for the use of capital punishment as a deterrent for murder still exists, according to the results of Tuesday's radio debate with the University of Manitoba. This was the second of a aeries of radio debates between the four weetern universities, sponsored by the Canadian Radio Commission. U.B.C. Argument U. B. C.'s representatives, Jack Bourne and Oeorge Luxton, upholding the affirmative of the question, "Resolved that captlal punishment should be abolished," maintained that the use of thia form of punishment was xi disgrace to modern civilisation, and law enforcement, and that it did not in any way act as a deterrent to the act of homicide. Burglary, holdup and similar- crimes are usually carefully planned and deliberately carried out, but murder, nine casta out of ten, is unpremeditated and is due to the uncontrollable explosion of emotions. Therefore, there is no reason to believe that a murderer at large is likely to repeat the action. Modern criminologists and psycho- pathologists confirm these facts. In the case of insanity the killer should be treated as one mentally deranged. Life imprisonment with the possibility of pardon was the alternative suggested by the U.B.C. atudenta. Manitoba's Case David Bews and Lawrence Rabin- owitz of the University of Manitoba maintained that death is the most severe punishment known to modern civilization and as such ia suitable for the punishment ot murder, the supreme offense. The miscarriage of justice is very rare, according to the speakers, and death represents the only just and suitable penalty for such a crime. The prevalence of murder in the United States was accounted for by the laxity of law enforcement and the rare application of the death penalty. Men with life sentences are the chief offenders in bad precedent was being established, so it was decided unanimously to return the tickets to the Science executive unaccepted. It was stated that if the tickets were offered out of a sense of obligation rather than as a compliment, it would be undignified for Council to accept As a reault ol this decision those council membera who were going to attend the bell declared their intention of paying their own way. After considerable discussion it waa decided to rent the Track Club IN to help defray expenses of a treok meet on March 24 with the CoUege ef Puget Sound. The original amount asked was $75. Permission was given the Musicel Society to negotiate with the New Westminster Kiwanla Club regarding a presentation of 'The Mikado' In that city. No financial obligation weuld be involved. Science Depts.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9,1934 uSm 5330 CHS QOPB ABOUT TICKETS It has always been the custom on the campus for 'A' officers, which includes members of Council, to be offered two complimentary tickets to all university functions. Considering the time and effort employed by these officers for the Alma Mater Society, it is only fair that they should be given some such slight re- compense for their services. In offering members of Council single tickets for the Science Ball the Science Men's Undergraduate executive were acting quite within their rights, but were breaking a campus tradition. However, double tickets were offered to three of the subordinate officers on the campus. This action was done after mature consideration and a vote by the Science Executive. In all its effects it is a gratuitous insult to the highest student officers on the campus. It was definitely stated by the Science men that they considered Council only worthy of single tickets, due to a lack of co-operation between Science faculty and Council. As a matter of fact there has not been a lack of co-operation on the part of Council, but if the Science men persist in their selfish attitude friction will undoubtedly arise in the future. In refusing to accept the preferred single tickets Council has taken the only possible course. The Science Executives have done nothing but exhibit their own narrow spirit. ™""™^™■—«■» WHAT PRICE PEP? From all accounts the bright young lads constituting the Pep Club had a very merry time at Hi-Jinx on Wednesday night. Their invasion of this peculiarly women's function will likely create a precedent for the future. If some of the more courageous of the males on the campus want to take their fates in their hands and attempt to chisel in on this function, well and good, but when a recognized campus organization proceeds en masse as interlopers, it is time that Council took a hand in restricting their activities. The only explanation of the conduct of the club is that they wanted to display their undoubted masculine charm before the assembled multitude of femininity. They might better devote their activities to the fostering of pep meetings. PEACE IDEAL This coming Sunday thirty-six students organized as "The International Relations Group" are of their own initiative addressing city church goers on the International Ideal. Despite the kindly venom of our bombastic Campus Crab, we believe the venture of these enthusiasts will reflect favorably on the University reputation. It is a more direct method of demonstrating student endeavors than the concentrating of energy exclusively on recognized University organizations. As a matter of fact, the group has purposely refrained from applying for recognition. It is simply a group of students united by a common ideal, and at such deserves every encouragement. PLAYS fCB PCSTEBIiy From "McGill Daily" It seems to be an established custom to compile statistics at the end of a year, and from a survey of them to prophesy trends and developments for coming seasons. That this delightfully uncertain game of speculation is indulged elsewhere than in the fields of business is revealed In the annual anniversary number of The Era, British trade journal of the stage and screen. This is the fascinating question the paper put to representative actors, producers, critics, managers, and theatre-goers: "Which play produced in the last ten years—1923-33—first occurs to you, or appeals to you as worthy to be a classic in 1984-and why?" The results proved as fascinating as the question, and are worth the serious consideration of every playgoer and lover of the theatre, amateur ro professional. The Era's sum- posium is, naturally, almost entirely British and English plays for the large part are considered. Allowing 'for individual differences in taste and outlook, the answers re We get tired of hearing people pan Sinclair Lewis. One mentions him rather wistfully—Lewis fans are all wistful because they happen to be largely outweighed—and the usual answer is, "No, his books are too sordid." One is tempted to quote the line from "Ann Vickers" which ran something like this: "Ann was not unhappy in the slum environment. Her surroundings vvere rather sordid, but like most sordid things, were comfortable." But one bites back the words in the nick of time, and saves one's reputation by a hairbreadth. The next complaint of the anti-Lewis fac- tion is: "He writes of such horrible things, and ^££SX£L 7ZZ& if they do exist, which is questionable, it's un- half of the somrlbutora selected *t._x _t.i_i_ __ --._-_ »» i Shaw's "St. Joan." When, as Edward Betts, the statistics compiler, reports, we remember the enormous output of plays during the last decade, it may surely be regarded as of so small significance that if the vote wm taken on proportional representation lines, Shaw's play would be placed on top on the first count. Shaw's play received 16 votes. Here are the others, in order:: Journey's End," 8; "Barrets of Wimpole Street," 4; "Juno and the Paycock," "Our Betters," "The Circle," "Richard of Bordeaux," 'three each; "Many Waters," "The Silver Tassle," "Young Wood- ley," "The Apple Cart," "Cavalcade," "Berkeley Square" and the American "The Green Pastures," two each. The following plsys eeeh received one vote: "After All" (Van Druten); "Hassan" (Flecker); "Cfiarry Orchard" (Tchekov); "ChUdren in Uniform" (Winsloe); "Mary Rose" (Barrie); "The life Machine" (Tread- well); "The White-headed Bey" (Roblnaon>; "Gallows Glorious" (Ronald Gow); "Design for Living" (Cbw- ard); "Musical Chairs" (Ronald Mackenzie); "For Services Rendered" (Maugham); "Heartbreak House" (Shaw); "Miracle at Verdun" (Hans Chlumberg); "Pageant of the Holy Nativity" (Charles Claye); "Man With a Load of Mischief' (Dukes); "Nine Till Six" (Aimee and Philip Stuart); "Hay Fever" (Coward); "The High Road" (Lonsdale); "The First Mrs. Fraser" (ErvJne); "Tobias and the Angel" (James Bridie); "She Passed Through Lorraine" (Lionel Hale); "Caesar's Friend" (Campbell Dixon and Dermott Moran); "The Late Christopher Bean" (Emlyn Williams); "Outward Bound" (Vane); "Rose Without a Thorn" (Clifford Bax); "R. U. R." (Capok Brothers); "Cradle Song" (Martinez Sierra); "The Constant Nymph" (Margaret Kennedy); "Mozart" (Sacha Guitry); "Porgy" (DuBose and Dorothy Hey- ward). Among the distinguished contributors who placed "St. Joan" at the top of the list are: SYBIL THORND1KE (creator of The Maid): "I think my answer must undoubtedly be 'Saint Joan' for the reason that this is a play written by a wise and brilliant man, on a subject that is of world interest as well as of real human interest." necessary that one think of them. It's in connection with this that we bring the point up. Perhaps you've read "Ann Vickers," and if you have you probably thought Mr. Lewis was drawing, perhaps overdrawing the drama and corruption in prison life. We were skeptical, too. Last week the Commissioner of Correction for New York City conducted an investigation into Welfare Island, New York County Penitentiary, and not one of the vices mentioned in Mr. Lewis' account was missing. A certain newsmagazine reports that Vanity Fair scooped the nation by getting out their February edition containing an article on Welfare Island nine days before the investigation took place. And so we wish to inform the magazine, also "Vanity Fair," and you, and the whole wide world, that Mr. Lewis scooped them by a matter of seven months. He was, by the way, fired from the Associated Press years ago for Incompetence. CULCHAW DEPT. We've changed the name of the useless information as you can see. After all, culture boils down to knowing a lot of things that you don't have to know, and if you don't have to know them, you can't use them often. And the spelling is that way because it seems to give it class, and it makes it more "refayned." Did you ever hear of W. C. Handy? There's a name you should remember. Way back in 1909 a gentleman whose name was Edward H. Crump ran for the office of mayor of Memphis. Crump hired a band to make his campaign louder, and the band he chose belonged to a dusky gentleman called Handy. A sort of handy-man. Mr. Handy wrote him a tune which ran: "Mister Crump don't 'low no eeeeea-sy riders here, Crump don't 'low no eeea-sy riders here." and the whole thing boiled down to a tune called the Memphis Blues. This was two years before "Alexander's Rag Time Band," and it opened the jazz era. A few years later, Mr. Handy produced his magnum opus, ''St. Louis Blues." Nuff said. Handy's the name. Don't forget it. SPRING, BEAUTIFUL SPRING Spring recalls many things, but. what we're thinking of now doesn't seem quite relevant. In case you miss the connection, it's about the old and time-honored pun, spring in the air. There was a dancer, a member of the Russian ballet in the good old days when a gentleman called Nicholas lived in Russia. Came the revolution, and went the dancer to foreign parts, France proved to be his next stoppin' place, and there he constructed a wonderful dance to the Debussy music, "L'Apres-midi d'un Faun." The high spot of the dance was at the close, when the dancer scampered back stage to a sort of cave opening, and with devastating grace leapt through. No one could leap as this dancer did. "Can you explain the trick of the graceful leap?" asked an enterprising reporter. "Well," said the dancer bewildered, "you just jump into the air, and when you get to the top, - - - - pause." SIR BARRY JACKSON (producer of many Shaw plays): "Posterity alone can answer your question, but I imagine that Bernard Shaw's 'Back to Methusaleh, or the same author's 'Saint Joan,' would be as interesting to the audience of 1984 as they are to us today. For both these plsys portray something deeper then the surface currents of life, and deal with things that cannot pass away." SIR GERALD DU MAURQCR: "'Berkeley Square' is the play I would choose as the most appealing, and I do not see how it can ever become old-fashioned and out of date." SIR NIGEL PLAYFAIR (distinguished producer): "In my opinion, the only play produced in this period ia Tha Rose Without a Thorn,' and it is the only one likely to be a classic in 1984." HERBERT FARJEON (critic, poet, humorist): "Sean O'Casey's Ths Plough and the Stars', because it is superb literature aa well u fine drama—and to become a classic, a play must be either literature or music." JOHN GIELGUD (foremost Shakespearean actor): "I should say Somerset Maugham's 'The Circle' is worthy to be a classic ln fifty years' time, because it is the best comedy of manners 1 know." SYDNEY CARROLL (critic and manager): "The one play .... is 'Journey's End'—for ths simple res- son that lt deals accurately, movingly, and in brilliant, dramatic fashion with a greet situation and greet characters arising out of the greatest event in our time." CLIFFORD BAX (dramatist and poet) "I should vote for The Green Pastures,' because it gives a sincere and brilliant picture of unsophisticated negro psychology and will form a more and more interesting .record as time passes." I C. B. COCHRAN (famed producer): "I would uy that Sean O'Casey's 'The Silver Tassle' deserves to be a classic in 1934, because it has a poet's vision of the Grsat War and its aftermath in true perspective." EDITH EVANS (foremost British actress): "On the spur of the moment I choose 'Heartbreak House'." "ROBERT ATKINS (producer): classic in 1984, because it has a poet's plsy by a modern author that has beauty of language and a tenseness of dramatic situation which at times tend to greatness. It is full of acting and of production possibilities, and a story for all time." ST JOHN ERVINE (dramatic critic and dramatist): " 'St. Joan,' 'Juno and the Paycock,' 'Journey's End,' "The Circle,' 'Young Woodley,' 'The Green Pastures,' 'The White-headed Boy,' 'The Barretts of Wimpole Street', 'Gallows Glorious,' 'Design for Living,' 'For Services Rendered,' 'Musical Chairs'—All of these plays, especially the first, are worthy to be classics, not only in 1984, but as long as life lasts. When moving pictures are exhibited only to the inmates of penitentaries as an additional punishment these plays will still be flourishing." J. T. GREIN (Doyen of London dramatic critics): 'I vote for 'Saint Joan,' and hope to see the realization of my prophecy A.D. 1984." GORDON HARKER (prominent Cockney actor): "I should imagine that 'Saint Joan' will have as good a chance of survival as any play that I can think of. Why? Just because in my opinion it Is a great play." SIR CEDRIC HARDWICK (great English actor): "In my opinion, the three outstanding plays of the last ten years are 'Saint Joan,' "The Apple Cart,' and "The Barretts of Wimpole Street.' They secured the theatre from camera studies, eternal triangles, and a mass of other nonsense, and once more made the theatre a resort for intelligent people. These plays also gave the actors a chance to act, a condition of playwrlting which the modern dramatist had begun to overlook."

Once again Varsity's co-eds and their escorts tripped the light fantastic to the snappy syncopation of Earle Hill's melody-makers. The co-eds are certainly well ahead of the fashion season. Charming Spring frocks in vivid colors and sprightly prints added their freshness and chic to the scene. Almost any Saturday afternoon you can find all the leaders of Varsity's elite forgetting the sorrows of student life to the music of Earle Hill's rhythm boys! CHURCH SERVICE Services on Sunday at First Baptist Church, corner Nelson and Burrard streets, will be of unusual Interest At the morning service those taking the Y.M.C.A. training course will attend the service and Rev. Elbert Paul, the minister, will speak on "The Master's Cods." In these days of Industrial and business codes it should be helpful to consider the greatest code of living ever presented to men. For the evening service Mr. Paul's subject is suggested by Thomas Hardy's poem of the same name, "God's Funeral," end will consider some modern tendencies towards philosophical atheism and indicate the characteristics that Christianity must have to overcome such tendencies. Those disturbed by recent trends, in Germany, Russia and elsewhere will be interested in hearing this vital question frankly discussed. The Saintly Faraday Expounded at V.C.U. Is it possible for a sclenceman to be a devout Christian and a firm b-e liever in the Bible? The Rev. J. E. Harris, BA., proved that it was pes- 'sible, in the last century, when he spoke on the subject: "Faraday—a Scientist and a Saint" at a meeting of the V.C.U. held on Wednesday. The ancient oil lamps and horse- drawn street-cars, that may still be found in the odd museum, were succeeded by their modern counterparts as a direct result of Faraday's work. But between labs hs spent much of his life in devotional exercises that emphasized tbe beauty and simplicity of his character. When Faraday was dying, a friend asked him what were his speculations. "Speculations," he replied, "I have no speculations, I rest on certainties, for I know whom I have believed." Scott9s Where you meet your friends after the theatre- after the game.

Mr. Craig, pictured above, has been seen, so far in "heavy" roles but his versatility enables him to step far outside these bounds. As an actor, ho is a perfect model for aspirants to dramatic fame to follow. AT THE PLAY VANCOUVER THEATRE "Scrambled Wives", which the International Players present this week, is a joyous comedy which runs at breakneck speed through all the complications that follow a divorcee attempting to land Number Two, a little man with ideas about static marriage, when Number One, trailing a mordantly auspicious wife, makes his untimely appearance. Farce seems to find it difficult to be original. Lucille Smith wasn't ths first lady to get her heel caught in a grating. Larry McLeod wasn't the first rescuing knight to keep next his heart that heel inadvertantly detached in the grating. John Chlver- ick wasn't the first man to sneeze so disasteroulsy behind the window curtains of Lucille's bedroom. But when such pleasing personalities as Barbara Brown, Leyland Hodgson and Colin Craig play these characters, we find new humor in the re-hash. Barbara Brown fits well her part of heart-of-gold schemer; Leyland Hodgson, whose danger is a too assured stage presence, turns this to an asset as the charming moonstruck; Colin Craig gives another characterization best described as completely adequate. Finis Barton, the wife who still feels emotional about it, acts with unusual finesse her naive part as Connie Chlverick.—J. B. C.

A few ideas, which appear likely to remain Ideas, though they deserve a better fate. The gauntlet is thrown down In the last paragraph. A "spectacular and unprecedented enterprise" is the label tacked on to the proposal of filling church pulpits with undergraduate speakers, with which I had occasion to deal some time ago. In the prospectus Issued by this aspiring group, which you will find elsewhere in this issue, you will notice that they have pruned down their objective to 36 leading church.ee. It also disavows any intention to rep- represent the University. This is si) to the good. The ques- tionsvthst remain are at least two. Have they pruned the number of pulpits down far enough to equal the number of competent speakers and will they honestly strive to make clear to the publio that they are not connected with the University except by the llect that they happen to be students here? Ii these two conditions are fulfilled, the group may consider itself on a somewhat sane basis; though from common gossip the first, and from my own knowledge of human nature, the second qualifications are of a very doubtful achievement. Thia ot course, leaves out of the question entirely the moral obligation to the University which these enthusiasts, in common, sad to say, with most of the other Campus Clubs, blithely shirk by diverting their energies to publicity stunts when there are so many crying needs in the University itself that stand in want of Just these exertions. However, these latter projects are sure to be largely hard work and little reward, so perhaps it is not surprising. At least we may rejoice in the possession of the two or three more Campus Pooh Bahs that the new organisation is about to contribute to our local Silly Symphony. Just as a sample to convince my good friends, whose activity, sincerity and idealism I commend aa highly as I deprecate their ill advised and grandiose projects, that they could direct the eruption of their irrepressible virtues toward objectives that may leave them, as individuals, in comparatively humble obscurity, but would do far more to advance the actual welfare of their Alma Mater than the pryrotechnlcs that are so common here, I will suggest a few. These will not be found to be of "spectacular" quality or "unprecedented" magnitude, but if the Legion of Supreme Potentates will cast an un- predjudiced eye around the campus, they will find them to be very similar to those works of their predecessors which have survived after the smoke of battle and dust of conflict have blown away and left most of the undertakings as flat as the previously over-inflated mentalities that conceived them. Here are some of the few that immediately occur to me. A revision of the curriculum in the interests of the student body. An effort to support our major sports organizations in a manner appropriate to the standing and size of the University. An effort to support these organizations, such as the Parliamentary Forum, which do cast some credit on the University by their work and achievements. The furnishing of a decent common room for the men. The erection or a conversion of some building suitable for a social hall, where the students may hold University functions, and mix to a greater extent then is possible in the desert of corridors and class-rooms that at present rorm our campus.

That the spirit of national self* ishness and greed ought to be condemned by our citizens as much as those faults are condemned in sn individual. (2) That no nation Is justified ln going to war to solve its dittteultles. (3) That no man should be discriminated against because of race, creed or color. (4) We believe as young people that internationalism is en express* Ion of the natural culmination ot a development that has been In progress throughout history.

At present Vancouver is in the lead, but Varsity hopes to overtake the Reps by defeating Victoria tomorrow. Track Mea Prepare For Cross-Country Next Wednesday Barring sub-zero weather and earthquakes, the deep-lunged denizens of the Track Club will stage their Crosscountry canter next Wednesday at noon. Event Postponed The famous event was scheduled to come off on Feb. 7th, but was postponed after a heated discussion by the members of the club. A rugby practice was held last Wednesday for players in the McKechnie Cup game. This meant that many Track Club members had to turn out for rugby, and so the race was postponed for that reason, and not because the Swedish yen fluctuated In value, as was reported In the last Issue. Editorial Comment It will be an inspiring spectacle to see lusty Sid Swift, George Allen, et al, wend their way along the careening course, it is tentatively expected that many others will don bathing suits in order to enter into the full spirit of the event. The record for the course in IS min., 13 seconds, and under favorable conditions freshmen can finish in two hours. Any Aggies entering the event will find fiendish delight in picking their way through plowed fields on the course. Here's the Course The course has its start and finish on the Mall in front of the Administration Building. It goes first to the Agronomy Building, then turns right and follows a plowed field. The contestants will experience wandering through bridle paths and wading through bushes. They will then Inspect the chicken pens to see whether production is keeping up to its proper statistical quotas. Finally after IS minutes or so of this, they emerge at the creamery and head down an old road which leads to the Mall, and then comes the finish. Will Theh Frosh Enter? It is hoped that the Frosh will have some competitors in the race, and thus keep up the good reputation of Arts '37. Science Vs Arts Again Sciencemen and Artsmen will battle in order to put their respective faculties on top. Among the Sciencemen to enter will be Phil Northcott, Alfie Allen, George Allen, and John Y. Smith. The Theologs will enter Dave Carey, a graduate, who is returning hero for this race. Commerce, otherwise Arts, are entering Sid Swift, Schultz and Robbins To Play For Victoria Tye Back In Game Tomorrow afternoon the U.B.C. English Ruggers play Victoria Rep Team. These teams have already met once this year in Victoria and the result was a draw 0-0. Both teams have a defeat at the hands of Vancouver Rep. to live down and will be out for Varsity tomorrow. The odds are on the Varsity team but they will have to fight. Alumna Seen In Action At least two alumni of the University will be playing on the Victoria team. Charlie Schultz, Forestry '31, and BiU Bobbins, Arts '32, will both be in the Victoria Pack. Plenty of Men Available Jack Tyrwhitt, coach, and Ken Mercer, Captain of the Varsity team, always have difficulty in choosing the team from enthusiastic students available. Filling the fullback position is giving some trouble. Kendall, Canadian Rugby star, and Goumenank, the second team tackling wizard, are possibilities but one of the spare forwards may be called on. Tne three-quarter line will remain the same as usual but Derry Tye will be back to make the connecting link with the pack. Derry injured his side in a practice last week and was unable to play against Vancouver Rep. All the forwards are fit and raring to go. Get Out To the Game The game will be good. English Rugby at the Point, is becoming increasingly popular and wih tickets selling at only 10 cents everyone should visit Brockton Point tomorrow and support a Varsity team. PORTRAIT OF A SCIECEMAN? Fraternity Ball Games Commence Next Week The upper playing field will be the scene of the first of the inter-fraternity softball series beginning next week. The various Greek factions are warming up to set in shape for the first battle between Alpha Kappa Alpha and Phi Kappa Pi. The Fijls are now the proud possessors of the coveted gold pot. With the large number of casaba tossers available ,the Fijls seem favoured to retain the cup this year. If they win lt, it will be its third successive year in the possession of Phi Gamma Delta. The series begins February 18 and is scheduled as follows: Alpha Kappa Alpha vs. Phi Kappa Phi. Chi Omega Psi vs. Sigma Phi Delta. Alpha Delta Phi vs. Sigma Alpha Phi. Phi Gamma Delta vs. Kappa Theta Rho. Zeta Psi vs. Phi Delta Theta. Pi Kappa vs. Alpha Rho Sigma. The opening stages are expected to present some interesting varieties of softball because of lack of practice of the Greeks.

Soccermen Meet Renfrew Argyle Full Team Is Confident Of Victory *• CHANGES IN LINE-UP Argyles Have Strong Team RENFREW WHITEWASHED VARSITY IN LAST ENCOUNTER Keenlyside Brothers Win In Seattle It seems that Varsity has at least two ping-pong experts in its midst. The Keenlyside brothers, Bill of Arts '34, and Harold of Arts '36, played in five winning matches in the Washington State championship games. Both men were victorious in their respective singles events, and also paired in the men's doubles, beating the Washington team to the tune of 21-11 and 21-12. The games were played in Seattle; and the Keenlyside boys showed fine form to beat their American rivals. The older brother, Bill, had made a trip to Seattle some time ago and cleaned up the champion there. He is ako the champion of Vancouver. After skipping last Saturday Thun derblrd Soccermen return to league play tomorrow when they engage Renfrew Argyles at the latter's home ground at 2:30 p.m. This encounter should prove inter estlng for a number of reasons. The Argyles are back to the V. and D. Loop after two seasons of wandering during which time they played In the 2nd division of the former Pacific Coast League and in the Senior City League until it was reorganized by the Triumvirate. In their first start this year these men of Renfrew held the strong Re gents to a 1-1 draw, but lost their last engagement to Art Monument who have beer- defeated only once during the entire season. Downed Varsity Before However, so far as Varsity are concerned, the Arygles' biggest claim to fame lies in the 7-1 trouncing they handed the Blue and Gold about three years ago, when both squads were entered in the 2nd division. The college boys have not forgotten this artistic passing and will certainly be out to reduce the deficit tomorrow, Manager Creamer states that his 13 charges are all primed to do noble deeds against Renfrew. Todd's leg is back to its normal size, and Mc [ Gill has completely recovered from a previous ankle injury. Some import ant changes have been effected in the line-up and the attack, on paper at least, appears stronger than ever before. Stewart has been moved up to the right-wing position in favour of Smith, and Martin, centre, will switch with Kozoolin who has been playing regularly at inside-right. The left flank remains the same. The team, then, will read as follows: Greenwood, goal; Waugh and McGill, backs; Thurber, Wolfe and Costain, halves; Stewart, Martin, Kozoolin (c), MacDougall and Todd, forwards; Smith and Sutherland, substitutes. Arts '35, Herb Barclay, Arts '34, and Dave Pugh. If the weather is good, the indications are that Jack Chappelle's record is in clanger of being broken. LOST Unbreakable, oblong watch crystal.

Ken Wright and Mayers soon gave the Adanacs a 4-point lead that they maintained fairly consistently through the first half. The Adanacs played the waiting game that beat Varsity a week or so ago.
