LOCAL FROSH —Photo by Byron Hender LIMP LAMP STANDARD looks "kinda beat" after being by the car behind during the six car coiiision on University Boulevard Wednesday morning. Government corrupt Liberal MLA says Sherbrooke editor expelled; staff quits SHERBROOKE (CUP) — The seditdr of Campusi Estrien, the University of Sherbrooke student newspaper, has been expelled from university for failing ■ rth^ee term examinations, but tftfi [paper says that his academic ijecord was not the only consideration1 hv his expulsion. Maurice Giroux, a third year student in law was advised of his expulsion Jan. 9, and a students' councij (AGES) meeting agreed with the action. The staff of the paper resigned leaving one member who is now the editor. In the past Giroux had opposed the council on certain measures. In the Jan. 18 issue of the Campus, Joe Lavoie, news editor, stated that the Council of fhe Faculty of Law does not follow a set of rules in dealing with faling students^ Each case is dealt with individually. "Furthermore, added Lavoie, it is not secret that the authorities of the faculty have never approved of students in extra curricular activities.", Then, the article continued, Giroux had his own ideas on the issue of a site for the new faculty of Law. He wanted it to be on campus while the majority of professors and administrators of the faculty wanted it to remain near the courthouse in another section of the city. Asked if the expulsion was subject to appeal, Albert Le- blanc, dean of the Faculty of Law stated that he did not usually answer such questions by journalists. He refused to say whether or not Giroux had the right to appeal. Giroux said he woijld continue to work as a journalist, and perhaps study abroad next year. Raft of mishaps on campus roads due to fog, ice Four major accidents and numerous minor ones occurred Wednesday morning between 8:30 and 9, sending two students to hospital with minor injuries. Most serious accident happened at the intersection of Acadia Road and University Boulevard, when six cars piled into one another. Due to heavy fog and ice the driver of the lead car tried to stop at .the change of lights. The other five piled into him. The traffic control light was smashed and broken off when one of the six cars smashed into it. The driver was taken to Wesbrook Hospital with minor injuries. Less than a block away, a car plunged under the flat deck of an Evans-Coleman-Evans construction truck, which was across, the highway. The driver was taken to Dr. , Johnson's house in the same block, - to receive treatment. He was later sent to Wesbrook. A third accident occurred on Chancellor Blvd. at the corner of Tasmania when on car hit the back of an Austin, which was in lhe ditch. ^Another accident was reported on the Main Mall outside the research centre involving three cars. The extent of the damage is not known. Gibson to reveal truth on floor of House Liberal MLA J. Gordon Gibson told the UBC Liberal Club Tuesday that he will reveal details o,f Social Credit graft and corruption when he re-enters the Legislature next Thursday. Gibson is the man who was ■ • expelled from the Legislature "If I said today some of the in 1955 for refusing to apologize after saying "money talks" in granting of tree farm licenses in B.C. He charged that the Socreds had spent $1 million on public works in the Lillooet area to get him defeated in th esubse- quent by-election. Twelve cabinet ministers spent two weeks in the area promising anything to anyone if they would vote against him, he said. Gibson said he didn't mind this, it had given him a five- year rest and he was ready to go back. Gibson said that 20 big companies were running the province and making millions through the influence of their lobbies in Victoria. He told of one company's stock which made $24 million for its few shareholders when the company secured a tree farm license. things I intend to say in the legislature I could be sent to jail, but I will have immunity of speech in the House." (The legislature opens Thursday. Gibson spoke of the present government as - "the most rank group erf amateurs in the world." He said, that 99 p«r cent of all business; failures Were due to poor management, and that was what the Bennett administration is giving B.C. "People in Vancouver are upset because John Paurucker was- able to steal a few thousand dollars, but if they ever took an audit in Victoria, Panrucker would be thought a small-timer," x he stated. He said the vitality of youth was needed in government and that the U.S. was very lucky to have a young, energetic man as president. B.C. should adopt a proportional voting system , under which people aged 21 to 30 would have four votes, 30 to 40 three votes, 40 to 5b two votes, and over 50 only one vote, Gibson stated. NBC's farce Campus life satirized Ricker paves way for summer jobs Summer jobs should be easier to get this year, thanks to the efforts of the Student Employment Committee under the chairmanship of Eric Ricker, Second Member at Large on the Students' Council. The purpose of the committee is; . e To disseminate information from the local and national employment service to the student body. e To find additional job opportunities. * To work with the personnel office, giving and getting advice. .AjbQok- put out by the National Employment Service Supply and Demand of University Grads is now being given away free at the AMS office. It gives an idea of what is open in the way of jobs. Letters are being sent to the major business firms in B.C., requesting them to favor students when hiring additional employees this summer. Two letters have also been sent to the B.C. government. - One is to Dr. Morrison, the director of the civil service commission. The other, sent to Rusty Black, the provincial secretary, asks for special consideration in the policy for hiring summer employment, especially in the departments of highways, recreation and conservation. HUBERT, a freshman at UBC several years hence, receives "terrific bargains" during registration in "Five Glorious Years,'" presented by NBC in Brock, Wednesday. By SHARON McKINNON Ken Hodkinson's satirical farce, "Five Glorious Years," depicting the life of the frat at UBC, and parodying everything from registration to Mardi iGras, was well received by a large crowd in Brock Lounge, Wednesday. . .1 The farce, directed (by Liz Fraser, was set in the l^ears 1970-75, at a slightly changed UBC campus. Enrollment was up to 55,000; frats were almost non-existent; NBC had been in power for fifteen years; there were a few more buildings, and fees were $1,350 for the first term. Hubert,, a lonely freshman who survived registration, became interested in the Gamma Kappas and rushed the "Gooks" in his sophomore year. After a rousing welcome by his brother "Gooks" (all four of them), he became a real frat man. He took Commerce, changed his attire and name, and bought an Austin-Healey. The farce then proceeded to attack: e sex habits of frat men e the capitalist faculty of Commerce e food services • paper cutting in the faculty of Education •' Buildings and Grounds — whose authority knows no bounds • the home ec. faculty • campus elections — only greeks vote • student councillors • mardi gras " The student's council scene portrayed the councillors sleeping, blowing bubbles, reading Ubysseys, flirting, doodling and doing almost everything but conducting business. There were motions to discuss subjects, immediately followed by motions to table the discussion because "it is traditional that the council does not involve itself in anything controversial." The meeting was concluded by lively discussion about a party. The farce concluded with the dramatic end of the last frat on campus. Two scientists from the east carried Hubert away for scientific research on his species. Finding that his breed could not be propagated, they turned him loose, and the audience was told that he was last Seen swinging from the top branch of the B.C. Electric. The farce was sponsored by NBC, and proceeds went to their campaign funds. <&' •t'^Prft*. *«SS€Y .: Thursday, January. 26,-1961 THE UBYSSEY Authorized as second class mail by Post Office Department, Ottawa MEMBER CANADIAN UNIVERSITY PRESS Published three times weekly throughout the University year in Vancouver by the Publications Board of the Alma Mater Society, University of B.C.

(See story, page 1). -Maurice Giroux, expelled editor of Campus Estrien, succeeded in having his paper admitted to CUP at the national Qflavention iri December. He was producing an extremely competent newspaper. ^'r^fae acteiinistration says the expulsion was due to his apc^demic recdrd, Tihe paper says there were other consider a- tions. ■"The member papers of CUP owe it to M. Giroux to support him, if he has been expelled without due cause. "«It-seems to-us; from the sketchy information available, that this may indeed be the case. "If he was expelled as a result of a clash of opinions with tjie authorities in his faculty, as the information intimates, tfeen, it is up to other students across Canada to cry out against such injustice. It seems strange to us that a third year law student Would be expelled simply for failing three term examinations. , We hope that the administration at Sherbrooke University will make its position more clear on this matter so that we , can-pass fair judgment. Apparently, they don't "usually answer suclh questions by journalists." Surely, they are not afraid to make their policy clear. xare, please The Ubyssey has been assured that more than 90 percent of cars towed away on campus are illegally parked. What worries us is the other 10 percent. Buildings and Grounds Superintendent T. S. Hughes, who hears preliminary appeals, is available only once monthly, and there seems to be no. other accessible method of immediate appeal. What we really object to is the indiscriminate towing away of cars from, visitors! lots. This is where most errors are made. Arid we suspeet that a good deal less than-90 percent of the cars towed away from these lots are illegally parked. Wednesday, a visitor to The Ubysse^/a man was helping the staff produce the paper, had his car towed from a visitors' lot. This is somewhat, embarrassing to the host organization. Here is one facet of the administration's enforcement policy that definitely needs review. Visitors should be safeguarded. NBC disappointing We were somewhat disappointed in the "NBC spec- - tac.ulpr",; which7 was not quite as spectacular as we had hoped. 'The -skit was well done and it was amusing. What was d^appotritkrg was thai it,didn't strike home in too many instances. There is much to satirize on this campus. Too much of it was overlooked in Ken Hodkinson's little masterpieee. -He spent too much time on fraternities and too little on such things as the weird enforcement system Buildings and Grounds uses to keep students from parking illegally. His satire on a Student Council meeting suffered from an acute lack of knowledge. There are many things about Student Council that could have been satirized very effectively, but the whole thing was glossed over. ' It became obvious that Mr. Hodkinson had attended very few Council meetings. We were expecting the NBC to expose tihe real errors in the ways of Council:—the errors that they propose to cure. We were disappointed. 'Oh, well. Letters to the Editor Army Objects Jan. 19, 1961. Editor, The Ubyssey. Dear Sir: The Salvation Army expresses profound sorrow and objection with regard to the reported action of a student group at such an esteemed centre of culture and education as the U.B.C. Your published article in The Ubyssey, issued January 13. 1961, indicates that "in the packed armory, to the melancholy strains of the "Salvation Army" band and cries of "repent ye sinners, repent" a group of drunks, etc., provided an ironic contrast to the militant hymns of the band. On an old Chev. rode a uniformed member of obviously higher rank whilst the shocked student crowd watched a woman throw off her cape and bonnet to reveal her pink swimming suit and tight black leotards." The Salvation Army came of age through storms of brickbats and imprisonments, and we are well able to take criticism, however misguided, in our stride, but when sacred things of the Christian faith are profaned then we must positively object. We regret the raucous and ribald treatment of articles of the Christian faith concerning sinners and repentance. We also regret the desecration of a symbol of our faith as evidenced in our uniform. The centre of our Salvation Army uniform badge is a cross and it is therefore a religions vestment consecrated for use. It is begging the question to say that the "Mardi Gras" Carnival in question was simply, ,a lampoon and also take-off on a similar travesty which Occurred elsewhere. We have no doubt but that such action was also objected to at its source.. We express sorrow for the misguided young lady and her associates, who appear in the published photo, and commend them to their religious advisers for guidance. We respect the Directors, Faculty, and vast majority of U.B.C. students, not included in promoting this event,. and trust that the few in question w|ll .also come to .enjoy and respect' the religious principles for which we stand and of ^hich our uniform: and meth-" ods are an integral part in our service to God and the people.

Up With Idealism Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: I am pleased to note that even the University of Manitoba has not been able to stifle new- thought. I offer this letter as encouragement to those 'idealists' who may have felt their cause discouraged by those articles fro The Manitoban whieh appeared in Thursday's Ubyssey (Jan. 19). If we proceed with an assumption that there are no absolutes and that nothing is completely predictable, w e must reject a forecast that is based entirely on man's past action. It is foolish to argue that man will not destroy himself simply because he has not yet managed to do so. Similarly it is foolish to argue that man's nature will not change and that he will not improve himself. It may be safe to say that without a change in nature man will not be able to avoid destroying himself. But man individually has a strong desire to live. Why should it not be possible for him to combine with other men to create sud- cessfully world peace and thus fulfill his strong desire? The change that is needed is the faith or confidence that the objective can be reached. No sane person will argue that the individual man is wrong in his desire to live, but many otherwise sane persons argue that he is wrong to join with others in a positive step towards achieving these aims. A man who speaks out saying that peace'is possible and who suggests a step that could lead to peace is labelled an 'idealist'. But "in fact a person who thinks we may somehow stumble upon peace is even more of an idealist, he in fact hasn't even got an answer as to how peace may be achieved. He thinks that because peace is good someone or something will' create it for him. There is an old platitude which states that if something is worth having it must be worked for. There is no absolute truth here but there is a great deal of realism. The 'idealist' feels that peace and life are worth working for. He has an ideal and a realistic approach to it, that is, he is willing to work toward the achievement of that ideal. Feter Lees Thomson, - Arts 3. Mercurial Prices Editor, The Ubyssey. Dear Sir: What kind of a bookstore is this university running? This is a question asked by students of Introductory Accounting (Commerce 151). In first year accounting, there is a compulsory assignment called the Thomas Practice Set. On Monday morning the price of the practice set was $3.50; on Tuesday it was £3.25. Three weeks ago the price was $3.00. I realize that this store has a monopoly on student supplies, but it is supposed to be run to the advantage of the students. At present, it is more being run like the Toronto Stock Exchange. Pete McDonald, Commerce I. Pauling Limited Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: After reading Ruth Robertson's article on Dr. L..C. Pauling, several ideas occurred to me. If I were discussing the question of the morality of capital punishment, would I seek advice from a hang-man? Further, if I wanted to get the facts on the issue of capital punishment, would I go to see a hanging? Similarly, Dr. L. C. Pauling has many worthwhile qualifications in the field of Chemistry, but few in the fields of Politics, Philosophy, or other humanities. Thus Dr. L. C. Pauling is very qualified to discuss the features of atomic bombs and radiation effects, but what value is this knowledge on the questions of ideological conflicts and economic struggles? R. G. Anti-Tripe Editor, The Ubyssey. Dear Sir: It seems that unless a thing is either anti-American, neu- tralestic, or anti-religious, it isn't worth printing in The Ubyssey. Frankly, I get sick and tired of reading such tripe. Granted that there are a few militant atheists (mortal know- it-alls, I call them) around. , Also there are a considerable number of muddle heads who believe that nuclear war can be averted by hiding one's head in the sand, so to speak, and pretending that the Red threat doesn't exist. But why must such obnoxious groups get so much attention and be able to raise such a clamor? Where are the other sides? Why don't we hear from some militant Christians who firmly believe that Christ is their Saviour and would "be willing to die for their beliefs like the Apostles? Where are the noble youths who see the real danger of Communism and Red expansionism and trickery, and who realize (like the Reds already do) that we are actually at war with them and that is a fight to the finish? Why is there no campus group which can see the real threat of the happenings in Cuba and will organize as a counter balance to the "Fair Play for Cuba" group? If such seeds do not exist in our student body, I fear for the future, not only ,of Canada, but of the world. Robert H. Barron, Physics Dept. Graduate Student. We, too, would like lo see articles giving the other side of the story. It is the policy of The Ubyssey 16 print as many contributions as space permits, but we can print only what we receive.—Ed. 'Depant 'em' Editor, The Ubyssey. Dear Sir: There is found oh this campus an unfortunate group of students who have what are called Saturday lectures. Perhaps the most unfortunate are the male of the species, for they must bear not only these horrid lectures, but also those females who, every Saturday, don slacks, peddle-pushers, etc. Being in this ill-fated group of males, we wonder what supreme poser it is that inspires these women (if we may call them such) to wear these female-type trousers. Why slacks? To conceal ponderous posteriors? Probably not, for slacks seem to accentuate overweight. Why slacks? Why not let the men wear the pants on the campus? To these "slack" girls, we say, Arise! Off with the slacks, on with the skirts. . . . Peter Shepard Edison Inouye Gam Gazers, Eng. I. Thursday, January 26, 1961 THE UBYSSEY Page Threfll FIVE-THIRTY CLUB By MALCOLM SCOTT On many occasions in the past both this column and The Ubyssey as a whole have criticized the Student Council for their failure to make sure that important positions were well advertised prior to any appointment being made. Now Council has thrown open the position of Special Events Chairman for the 1961-62 session for applications. This is- an extremely important, rewarding and interesting job, one of the most desirable on Campus. The applicant need not have any specific experience and a complete, well- trained staff will be staying on for this year. And what has been the response? Not one applicant! Not one of nearly 12,000 students so much as made an enquiry! At the recent general meeting one obviously euphemistic optomist denied the presence of apathy on this Campus. If this isn't apathy then what is? Council has approved in principle the splitting of the Arts and Science Undergrad Societies. It is hoped that this split will result in two medium-sized, cohesive undergrad societies to replace the present huge and unwieldy ASUS. The idea appears to have merit, but there is one drawback evident. The Science Undergrad Society, who of course hope to seat t^ieir president on the next council, could be a shadow organization composed of only a few people. These people being the prime movers of the present split. For this reason and because their constitution is not yet properly written the final approval of the split has been put off,, Tuesday's Ubyssey carried a statement by the U.B.C. Radio President to the effect that we might have a broadcast station within a year. In the light of reports delivered to the Council this would seem to be an overly optomistic view. The proposal has been well received by the Extension Dept. but to be accepted by the Administration it will need a lot of polishing. Among other things, UBC Radio's programme fare will have to change in order to prove that Radsoc can live up to broadcast standards. Another drawback is the plan advanced in some quarters to make the station an FM station. This plan, which is impractical as there are few if any FM receivers in the area, has considerable support. Men's Athletic Association President, Don Robertson, has proposed a re-appraisal of student polling on athletics. He feels that UBC might be better off in the Evergreen Conference than the present league. His concern has been spurred by the press report that Manitoba is not entering a football team. He feels that this will cripple the present league. He stated, "Right now, this league, as far as I am concerned, isn't worth the $47,000 we're putting into it. The first meeting of the Parking Appeal Board will be held on the first Wednesday in February. It was suggested by Dr. Wood of the Parking committee that this was a type of court and that the students should come "properly dressed." This attitude was deplored by the Council. They were uniformly against it. President Edgar said, "I think that's ridiculous." One councillor suggested that next step would be to require the offenders' to "bring mommy and daddy with them." Sign-switching students play prank on residents TORONTO (CUP)—Three University of Toronto students face the possibility of up to $100 fines for their part in a prank. yet no charges have been laid.

GODDARD, the Village Voice "Campus sex" may not be for all students, but wfay not condone it for those sufficiently grown-up to know what they're doing? That's , the question biology j professor Leo F." ■ Koch (pronounced Cook) asked at the University of Illinois last spring, i University President David D. j Henry was a fast man with an j answer. He promptly fired Koch for his "offensive and repugnant" views. Koch and his battle for university reinstatement have since become a minor cause celebre. Presently operating out of the American Humanist Association offices at Sheridan Square, he's telling New Yorkers all about it in a fast round of church, campus and TV appearances. SEVERE CREW CUT "All this began with an article in the Daily Illini criticizing heavy petting parties on campus", Dr. Koch explained. A short, brisk man of 44 who sports the academician's severe crew cut, he seemed far from the diabolical sexual anarchist some groups have accused him of being. "The article was courageous but ignorant of the real sexual problem. So I wrote a reply." Koch's leter said in part: "... the events described are ... symptoms of a serious social malaise . . . caused by the hypocritical and downright inhumane moral standards engendered by a Christian code ... already decrepit in the days of Queen Victoria . . . With modern contraceptives anG medical advice readily available . . . there is no valid reason why sexual intercourse should not be condoned among those sufficiently mature to engage in it without violating their own codes of morality or ethics." It ends by stating: "A mutually satisfactory sexual experience would eliminate . . . many hours of frustrating petting and lead to much happier and longer- lasting marriages. . . ." "Academic freedom is very much involved in this," said Dr. Koch, who also heads a humanist -liberal group called the School of Living. "I spoke up because I felt I had to. I lost my job. I think it's a good example of what happens in universities. The majority of faculty members are badly suppressed. You can't step out of line, and that's a very bad situation." Dr. Koch continued in the academic vein for awhile. "The fact that I'm a scientist threatens people even more," he went on in a soft but self-assured manner. "They don't want to understand the human implications of biological knowledge. Sex is only one example. Many religionists think it's their private, supernatural territory. Then the super-partiots — those who make a profession of calling others Communists—come along and attack too." He produced an impressive pamphlet he said was being distributed widely in Chicago and other Midwestern cities. It called his stand an "exhortation to sexual promiscuity ... an audacious attempt to subvert the religious and moral foundations of America." "What I did was to suggest the university condone natural acts. I didn't say 'advocate," but a lot of people took it that way." THE SEXUAL SCENE What then were the biologist's views behind his job-losing letter? How would he implement them in a different kind of society?? Dr. Koch responded in an unemotional, almost dry manner: "Kinsey claimed three quarters of American men and half the women have pre - marital sexual intercourse," he said. "I think that's conservative. On campus most students are at an age when their urges are strongest. They can't get married. They're severely frustrated. You can't shrug off a biological need like that." Open house robot brain displays Prof. D. C. Aird of the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration, stated Monday that the newest type of IBM computer will form the core of that Faculty's Open House display. Displays of each of the five major departments of the faculty will be co-ordinated in some way with the computer. While on display the computer will be working on demonstration problems in linear programming. The computer is of the same type ordered by the University. The Division of Finance will operate a movie theatre in which films dealing with commerce and business will be shown. CUP Capers By BOB HENDRICKSON ' If you attended the last AMS meeting you would nave noticed that the Completely Unnecessary Party were unable to take over due to the lack of apathy. However, we were recruiting members. The new CUP members were the paper dart throwers, honorary engineers, and people who wanted to defer the;; issue. I'm sure you will agree these are people who should have a place in CUP. ; * * ■*■ You thought you were hav- night, kissing your girl friend (or boy friend as the case may be.) To spoil this delusion I shall refer you to an article in the Brunswickan. It seems a study has been made. In the "good old days" it took at least a year for the boy to work his way down from his end of the couch and ask his blushing maid for a» kiss. The first kiss was the magic moment. ' Not any more. The advance of science has changed this, stripping the kiss of its aura of mystery. Not too long ago a scientist publicized his findings on the chemical reactions taking place within the body which gave rise to that particular feeling of exhilaration asso- , ciated with a kiss. Today, with its fast moving pace, has speeded up the preliminary preparations for a kiss. . ';■' What once took a year of hopeful anticipation now takes ten minutes of competent practice. Kisses come off the assembly line as fast and as frequently as cars. As the human body grows immune to certain stimuli, such as the head cold, after long periods of exposure, so it grows immune to kissing. In short, when you kiss today you are doing field work sin psychology and metabolism. The foregoing was researched from the Brunswicken article 'What's in a Kiss?" (or) "Who's he analyzing now?". It's funny they should mention my two majors. Page Four THE UBY S S E Y Thursday, January 26, 1961 Lets see what it looks like . . . televise an execution By ALLAN DICKIE The Ryersonian, Ryerson Institute - Now that the uproar over the execution of Caryl Chessman has died down, North Americans seem to be renewing their old attitude towards capital punishment. - The majority will decide one way or the othgy, only when they feel strongly enough about the subject. There is one way to arouse p,ublic opinion. televise an execution. T realize this solution has its limitations. It would be difficult to make the viewing compulsory for all those over the age of sixteen. But if a supposedly civilized society is to take full responsibility for its actions in the taking of human lives, we should all realize what is involved. Probably, people would be so sickened by what they saw, they would force the governments to abolish capital punishment. There are few humane ways to take a life. Electrocutions often take several minutes. Witnesses say the most vivid memory gleaned from observing an execution is the smell of burning flesh. Humane, eh? Chessman was poisoned in the gas chamber. That is the Californian way. It takes a few minutes, although the victim is unconscious after the first whiff and, supposedly, feels no pain. But like every execution, the victim must face the last months of his life thinking about it. In Chessman's case it was nearly 12 years. Next to the firing squad, (which is frowned upon in most parts of North America because it requires the participation of non-professional executioners) hanging CAN be the most humane form. But a lot depends on the hangman. , The weight of the man, the size of the knot required, and the length of the drop must all be taken into account. A miscalculation anywhere, and the condemned slowly strangles to death. Of course, it would require plenty of close- up shots and a delicate sound system for full effect. You think it's sadistic? Possibly, but what other way is there to get people to face the question? In my opinion all murderers are mentally unbalanced, at least at the time the crime is committed. To execute a murdered after he commits his crime serves no useful purpose. Statistics show that the number of murders committed in areas where the penalty is life imprisonment is no higher than in areas where the death "penalty is invoked. So execution is not a deterrent. Murderers coul4 be useful if they were taught some craft while they served a life sentence. Besides they usually prove to be model prisoners. And, because juries are human, it's always possible to execute an innocent man. C/S integrity returns with election of JFK The Ryersonian Ryerson Institute For the first time in .eight years, America and the world can look forward to a bright and prosperous future. The election of Sen. John F. Kennedy to the Office of President means more than simply a change of government in the U.S. It may well mean a return to standards of decency »nd honesty in international jplitics and a subsequent regeneration of Christian principles in this wonderful de- 1 Biocracy of ours. : The word "politics" has become an evil word in our society, due to the wiles of opportunistic statesmen and the sjpread of unprincipled practices in oUr society. Corruption, coercion'and cunning have become the Big "C's''' that have puled our lives. It is refreshing to see a young man at the feelm of 6Ut democratic ship of state that will lead us without resorting to this new-morality. , Kennedy has been called "naive" by his opponents. Since when has naivete become an evil quality in our society? Naivete in its original sense means simplicity and lack of ,guile, qualities that are. almost unknown in present-day politicians. Christ himself was naive in this sense. Abe Lincoln, one of the fathers of the American Nation and martyr to freedom of race, had this inherent simplicity of character. Kennedy is an American in the truest, most profound sense of the word.. His courageous rescue of survivors of his shhp during the second World War is an example to the world of self-sacrifice and devotion beyond the call of duty. His exemplary record as a lawyer and later as a Senator, is something that Americans can look to with pride. Above all, he embodies the basic ideals of democracy and the equality of all men. Though accused of being "born with a silver spoon in his mouth" Kennedy is no spoiled child of fortune. He fought beside his fellow Americans in the last World War and expected no privileges. He has worked hard to achieve his present position and has proved the American tradition that anyone can be President. He and his beauti- fulwife and child live simply, without the ostentatious opulence that has marked many of his predecessors. Americans will remember with warmth his reference to his coming baby in his victory speech. Even in his moment of triumph, he did not forget his place as loving father and head of his family. Jack Kennedy has received the whole-hearted approbation of the American Nation. It is our duty to support him and give him the opportunity to his rightful place among the men that made America great. Oh ? ? "That is a very complicated thing . . ..This is so complicated that you have to go—you try to lay out a program, a plan, but — work at it if you have got it here, if you go here you have to defend it from that, you have to move over there." COLLEGE COMMENT Edited by KEITH BRADBURY Sheaf sahl: Naughty, naughty Ubyssey The 'Ubbyssie" a really, really under-graduate newspaper, has produced yet another puerile effort. In its latest, it describes in gory detail an incredibly drole stunt performed by those 'wascals', the engineers. It seems that a towing company in Vancouver has taken to following behind the campus parking commissionaire. When he tickets a car parked illegally, the car is hoisted and deposited in the clink, where it can be redeemed for a high ransom, about ten dollars. Now the clever engineers, in mocking this towing company, chose a motto which involved a modification of the name 'Busters'. Only an infant, and perhaps, the editorial staff of the Ubbyssie could have failed to have been disgusted by the motto — and students here well know, it takes a good deal to disgust this newspaper. —The Sheat. University of Saskatchewan. Ed. note: It's "Ubyssey", if you please. What did we get out of Russian students' visit? The Queen's Journal Queens University Just what benefit did any of us derive from the visit of a few Russians last week? It would be quite absurd to imagine that anyone from the other side of the ideological fence is likely to be converted because of such excursions, despite the current Russion stall- for-time campaign that mouths the slogans, mutual tolerance and co-existence. Is there, then, any real value in such a visit? We think there can be, even if it is only a slightly increased understanding of how the Communist mind works. We could see they were deadly serious and sincere in their beliefs, that they feel (just as we often do) that their material accomplishments and progress serve to justify and verify their faith in their system. We should realize from watching these Russians that it is still the greatest task of the west somehow to convince the east that the capitalist system is not headed, as they believe, to inevitable destruction and a last-ditch attack against the Communist world, but that it will endure. We must convince them that the capitalist system is not based on class conflict, that it does not contain within itself the seeds of its own destruction, and consequently that the Marxian view of history is mistaken.

OFTEN JOSH VANCOUVER, B.C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1961 "Stardust" dance Saturday Frosh Week ends with dance in local hotel The Stardust Ball, the annual dance sponsored by the Frosth Undergraduate Society, will be held Saturday evening February 4. ; HERE THEY ARE! THE FOUR GUYS! Singing at the frosh Dance Stardust Ball Will be this newly discovered quartet. Here they are pictured in front of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. The exciting group will entertain at the Stardust Ball immediately after their week-long appearance at Isy's night club in downtown Vancouver. Inter-faculty song contest temporarily postponed by FUS The Inter-faculty Song Fest ■which was fo have been sponsored by thfel|t0sh Class as part of Frosh Week has been indefinitely postponed. The main reason for the postponement was the problem of finding a suitable hall in which to hold the contest. Before the Frosh Council was elected both the Brock and th# Armories had been booked for Thursday, February 2 at noon. - It had. been decided by the. Undergraduate Societies Committee that the annual fest be held during a noon hour because of the failure of last year's which was held in the evening. A heavy snow storm reduced the audience to almost nothing. "As each song team sings approximately ten minutes," said Frosh President Bob McConnell," the songfest must be held on a Thursday. We are not blaming the people who have booked the buildings, the fault ^ties with the timing of Frosh Week, something neither the Council nor these people had anything to do with." "It is hoped that the songfest may be rescheduled for sometime in mid-February," added McConnell. The Frosh song team has been practicing for several weeks and is rapidly perfecting selections from The Music Man. The team has been coached by 'Dr. Slind' a member of the UBC Music Department. The Faculties of Nursing and Education are also forming teams to sing in the contest. The Aggies, while not entering the song fest, had promised to make their presence heard by contributing a musical comedy routine. Janet Owen, Vice-President of the Executive Frosh Council, said that in order to add variety to the inter-faculty songfest, any interested groups or greek letter societies would be welcome to participate. "This would give such organizations as the Russian Glee Club, and the excellent theological cdl- leg choirs a chance to compete against one another," said Miss Owen. When a s k e d if a\ lack of either planning or organization had caused the postponement of the competition; McConnell replied,. "Neither of these reasons are valid, the action was taken because no suitable place was available at the required, time." '' We have; been Ja#ced to abandon plasig for- seVeriSi of oi»; -noon . iifar - ac*tvftieSf for this very s'arree -■rea/sj*rt,^s .The president cited ; a Piiia ' Feast and a guest lecturer-'as examples of the events which had been cancelled.;.

LIMITED TICKETS "There will be no limit en the number of tickets sold to the dance," said McConnell. "However, a limit of 200 couples has been put on the Mareo Polo due to its - size. It is -unfortunate we cannot accommodate more, but the Marco Polo is the largest club of its kind available." "Tickets for both events will be sold on a first come first served basis," he added. COMMITTEE HEADS Terry Richmond, chairman of Special Events for the Frosh Council appointed Mike Coleman and- Bob Smith as sub-committee heads for the two dances. Coleman has arranged the after party, while Smith is in charge of the dance. Three dollars will be the cost for each couple for each event. When queried about the overall cost of the evening, Richmond reminded the Council that both prices are below normal for both the Vancouver Hotel and the Marco Polo, AFTER-PARTY Music at the Vancouver Hotel Will be provided by Brick Henderson and his orchestra. Those who attend the after-party will dance to a five piece band which is associated with the Marco Polo. Marco Polo Manager Victor Louis reports his supper club to be the first in the city to introduce the Chinese Smorgasbord. This enables the patron to eat small amounts of food at a time, when it is still hot. of your trips, so feet free to "We have no one to keep track take as many trips and eat as much as your appetite allows," said Mr. Louis.

They have been singing locally under the name of the Van Four, and were booked by Isy Walters to make a week-long appearance at his supper club. During one of their rehersals at the club, Mr. Walters was talking to an American booking agent. The agent heard the group, completely forgot about his original business with" Mr. Walters, and asked for some pictures and tape recordings of . the group -immediately. The Four Guys could easily become members of the famous company of qfuartets currently riding high in the record and nightclub business. They are four young, all-Americari-type- boys ,who not only have the necessary personal appeal, but also possess excellent voices. The quartet has aready developed a distinct and very enjoyable singing style.

Through no doing of their own the Frosh Class was both fought for and fought against at the recent AMS general meeting. ,^ The battle for Frosh was on the most part waged by members of the NBC. While some freshmen may belong to this organization, the Frosh Council had no part or knowledge of the party's actions. Everyone but Frosh spoke on our eligibility to run for the Students' Council. In reality, most Frosh freely admitted that by the end of the term they do not consider themselves well enough equipped to serve on a body governing eleven thousand students. There was no need for the fuss, the Frosh had no desire for the amendment in the first place. Imldmus campaign? ■^ Frosh!

MAN-HUNTERS USE QUI J A Questions on everything, world to personal affairs, can be answered by a rectangular piece of plywood according to the girls staying in Fort Camp. Any visitor is likely to see two girls, sitting opposite one another, eyes closed, and both hands on the pointer, (a piece of wood that moves to either "yes" or 'no"). The most common question asked is, "Ouija, will I be married in four years?" , This activity is proof of the cliche, "Girls come to university for an education." Most girls have given up their ouija activities because they believe passing the year to be hopeless. The girls have made some earth shaking predictions: • Princess Margaret will not have a child this year. • There will be no snow in January. • Food Services will not serve scrambled eggs next Saturday. • About half the girls can expect a happy married life — the rest will remain frigid. Rival y has developed Frosh carpools found mismatched PART OF THE Frosh team rehearses for the now-cancelled Song Fest. Holding a high note in a song never to be sung at the Song Fest are Sherry Rustler, linda Chalkland, Madeline Neil and Carol Crabtree. A car pool may be defined as a collection of short tempers thrown together on a long journey. Since Frosh are not used to forming car pools, most of these automotive horrors are • created by aroups who happen to be together at some social function and decide, "Since we're all going to UBC next year, let's form a ear pool!" No words cah'be more fatal to the institution of friendship can ever be spoken. All is well for the registration period. All-male groups indulge in playful fist-fights, all-female groups make catty jibes about other people, and mixed groups do whatever is appropriate for the numbers involved. The first breakdown in the system comes when someone who has his first lecture every morning at eleven-thirty realizes that someone else in the same car has eight-thirties every morning. A certain amount of friction is bound to result when the eleven-thirty man is dragged from his bed at some unthinkable hour every morning for the sake of his eight-thirty friend—former friend! At the end of the first term, some car pools disintegrate, each component hoping to find more agreeable companions with another group. But a change never results in an improvement. In every car pool there's one who bitches: "Why can't we stop on the way home and get an icecream cone?" or "Why don't you kids ever let me sing?" And there's always a budding Brock-type who brags about all the new friends he has made. Every car pool has at least one chain smoker and at least one executive member of the Anti-Nicotine League of the Western Hemisphere. Every car pool has a CHjQM partisan counter-balanced by a C-FUN fan. All car pools have at least ONE rotten driver. There's always someone who is unaware of the local geography. A particular case involves the Freshette from (New Westminster who was baffled by her car pool's refusal to pick up her new British Properties boy-friend at eight o'clock on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The car pools that survive the year suffer immensely. The all-male ones have become mobile brawls and the all-female ones have descended to hurtling catty jibes at each other. The mixed car pools, however, seem to be the most successful, They continue to do whatever is appropriate for the numbers involved. among the dorms. Pictures of Anne Wesbrook have disappeared, Mary Bollert had no paper towels, and Isabel Maclnnes lacked her lounge cushions. The girls in Mary Bollert have been entertaining all night visitors. Two chickens, undoubtedly" Aggies in disguise, spent the night in the dorm lounge. v *& *& A notice from the office of the Dean of Women appeared on a senior girl's- door.

If such disturbances continue, all overnight passes to Men's Resdiences; will be cancelled." ff. if. if. The public is not aware of Ijhe names of buildings at. UBC. This became obvious when a girl in Anne Wesbrook received a letter addressed to Miss Anne Wesbrook Hall, University of B.C., Vancouver, B.C. Frosh Queen quits, accepts drama offer Chela Mathison, 1961 Frosh Queen, who left UBC in mid-October to accept a scholarship in drama at the newly-formed National Theatre School in Montreal, has signed an agreement to remain with the school for three years. She attended the 1959 session of the UBC Summer Theatrical School. As part of her studies, Chela played in the school's production of "The House of Bernardo Alba". Chela's last play before winning the scholarship was "Come Back Little Sheba", which was entered in the Pro-, vincial Drama Festival Finals. Thursday, January 26, 1961 THE ODDYSSEY Page Thre» Traditions to be abolished A frosh versus'frosh debate will be held in Brock lounge on Wednesday, February 1, as one of the organized activities of Frosh Week. Four debaters will clash on the topic "Resolved, that present University traditions and procedures be abolished." Speakers for the affirmative position are Doug Hager and Susanne Clarke and their opposition will be the team of Julie Pearson and Tony Buzan. - Hager, as spokesman for both teams, told the Oddysey, "We hope everyone will attend as this debate has won the Independent Clam-Diggers of Spanish Banks' Seal of Approval and has been endorsed by the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Freshmen." Hager, a graduate of Upper Canada College in Toronto, is a veteran debator. Miss Clarke, his teammate, is, however, a relative amateur in verbal battling although she has had experience in bandying words as a result of editing the award-winning j "Pearson Mike" and as a re- ' porter for the university student ' newspaper, The Ubyssey. i The negative speakers, Miss ' Pearson and Mr. Buzan, have been practising vigorously to make up for their inexperience. Buzan was reportedly sighted down on the beach, with pebbles in his mouth, yelling at seagulls. ' The pair are determined, in the words of Miss Pearson, "to talk the hell out of those affirmative spogs." Miss Clarke recently threatened both her teammate and the opposition with a walk-out. "I was told by Terry that this debate might get filthy!" she sajd " firmly, "and if it does, I'm sinv ply going to burst into tears and then get up and leave." SUSANNE CLARKE DOUGLAS HAGER Frosh find own campus problem Chairman Richmond organizes FUS. week Speical Events Chairman Ter- i y Richmond worries constantly 3bout everything under his control but always comes up with nost satisfactory results. Briefly, his job is to be in charge of all frosh special events, notably Frosh Week. He picks :ommittees, appoints committee- leads, and then superivses all their work. He also acts as gen- oral co-ordinator. 'U wouldn't want to be in his ihoes for anything," a colleague remarked recently. "But he's certainly one of the Frosh Council members who has accomplished something this year." A Magee grad, Terry doesn't know whether he'll run for student office again.

A few students say, however, that as far as they are concerned, "The food is a constant source of never ending delight and surprise." "Why, I never know what I'm going to find in the cafeteria food;" said one. "Today it was a piece of steel wool in my scotch broth. I've also found bobby-pins, hair of varying lengths and colours, and multitudes of other exciting, inedible objects." Students also complained shout the assortment of food at the bus stop cafe. Proposals for improvement oi food services included a suggestion that a cafe similar to those in the fifteen-cent stores downtown be set up. "They certainly have a large selection of different foods on their menus and I'm sure UBC has a much larger turnover each day than they do," commented a student. $3.00 Per Couple Midnight - 3a.m. After-Party Page Four THE ODDYSSEY Thursday, January 26, 1961 Skate ith slosh unin FROSH WEEK CALENDAR Jan. 29—Ski Trip to Baker.

"The top 15 "per cent contributes 50 per cent of our students; the bottom 20 per Cent contribute only five per cent." • He said that it was the belief of NFCUS "that the federal government can, within the framework of our constitution, assist in removing the financial obstacles to university education. To this end we suggest the establishment of a national bursary system." There is a great need, he said, to assure students from low- income families, that if they launch a university career, financial assistance will be available thr o u g h university if needed. The bursaries would be used to put qualified students into university if they were not now able to attend because of financial need, 'Rawson told tbe delegates.

OTTAWA (CUP) — Students today have a "gimme" attitude in their demands for financial support, a former Canadian Press correspondent told delegates to the NFCUS Ontario regional conference Friday. William Boss, now publicity d'rector for the University^ of Ottawa said, "the obligated-to- invest-in-pur-youth approach ploy is actually addressed to government and business and not to students." He believed this had resulted in a "gimme" attitude and pointed out that at the same time there was a campaign for 10,000 bursaries, the "universities were also beseiged by demands for more parking space." This seemed that the same organization had two types of demands, ■ and such a situation meant that "student demands will not win much public support." SERIOUS ISSUES Earlier he said that students seemed "to be turning their backs on serious issues, and they lack responsibility, dedication and parposefulness." He expressed surprise at the number of students, "who lack enthusiasm, who cannot get excited about the issues which deeply concern them and their welfare." In conclusion Mr. Boss referred to the NFCUS campaign for bursaries, "God bless you if you pull it off, but you are just not-on a reasonable wicket." RAWSON REPLIES NFCUS President Bruce Raw- son, replying to Boss, said that in many countries in the world studets resort to rioting. "We try to do something constructive through research and consideration and we are called irresponsible. Do we.hjaye to riot to gain the ear of the Canadian public and the university administrations?": "IV & about time they stopped calling university students irresponsible. There is a growing awareness among students, and it can-be seen in the fields of education and international affairs," Rawson said. LOANS UNATTRACTIVE Referring to the NFCUS bursary campaign Rawson said that students do not want the money for themselves, but were- "asking for money to help those students .who are unable to attend university for economic reas*. ons.*' "Has the student the right tcf put himself $4,000 or $5,000 in debt when his fafrfily is not financially secure? We have loan schemes which are useful, but do not attract high, school students; this has been proven," he said. ill —Photo by Totem BLOODY MARY didn't make this picture but she was present in the South Pacific corner which won the prize for the best table decoration.

Students across Canada are beginning to show far more interest in the problems of Canada as a whole; they are less provincial. This is shown in many ways: by student representation on the Canadian conference on education and Royal Commissions such as the Massey, Gordon, and Publications." Without a national office, these advantages would be completely impossible," remarked Mr. Rawson, "NFCUS is the student body with the voice of the students."

Application forms may be obtained from local NFCUS committees. Using statistics compiled by the Dominion Bureau of" Statistics, the National Conference of Universities and Colleges and independent studies, President Rawson presented the financial background for a year at university. The average cost to attend for one year is $1,400. This comes from three sources: summer earnings, scholarships, bursaries and loans, and family assistance. "A student would have to earn $475 a month during the 4Vfe months to pay all his expenses. Yet only one in four earn $275 a month," he said. He added that the average summer saving comes to $500. Scholarships, bursaries, and loans contribute about eight per cent towards the cost of attendance. "About six out of 10 students receive an average of $550 plus room and board from their parents," Rawson said. The national average for family contribution comes to $700. However, he declared, three out of every four children can expect no assistance. Concluding the outline of the NFCUS plan of action he told the delegates that there was a profound change of view being noted in Canada. "The national loss that is being incurred through the failure of young people with talent to go to university is becoming clear."
