Issued Week]y by the Student Publications Board of the University of British Columbia Volume VI. VANCOUVER, B.C., FEBRUARY 28th, 1924 No. 18 SUCCESSFUL BADMINTON ^TOURNAMENT Miss V. Millener and 0. Woodman Cany Off Honors The annual tournament of the Badminton Club came to a successful conclusion last Monday night when the finals were played at King Edward gym. The tournament, which marks the culmination of the year's activities, has been a complete success. That it has been so is to be credited to the efforts of the executive and the tournament committee. The matches were very closely contested, and provided many thrills to a good-sized gallery. The feature of the evening was the playing of O. Woodman and Miss V. Millener. Both of these players won the three events in which they were entered. They are members of the team sent to Victoria at the Annual Trip and have also played in the city inter-club matches. The first match of the evening brought .together Miss Millener and Miss Davidson in the Ladies' Singles. After two hard games Miss Millener (Continued on Page 6) Musical Society To Hold Concert J Next Week Misses Lillian Wilson and Beth Abernethy to Take Part in Artistic Program Those interested in TJ. B. C. activities, and especially in the work of the Musical Society, will be pleased to know that the concert given by the Orchestra over the "Province" radio last Wednesday evening was considered one of the best ever broadcast from a Vancouver station, and certainly the best without exception in its line. We quote a comment which appeared in the "Province" of Thursday, February 21:— "An unusually large number of music-lovers telephoned to express their appreciation of the concert broadcast from station CKCD on Wednesday evening by the University Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Wilbur G. Grant." "Much credit must be given Mr. Grant for the high standard of excellence he has developed in this student organization, which in the rendering of the "Light Cavalry Overture" and MacBeth's "Forget-Me-Not" eclipsed the finish and understanding usually associated with many orchestras of professional standing." With such high praise as this from disinterested critics we are confident that the grand concert to be presented in Wesley Church on Friday, March 7, will eclipse any similar of-' fering ever before given by any am- (Continued on Page 5) Above is a picture of Bill Phillips, (Science '26), the aggressive hard working Captain of the Varsity first soccer eleven that will meet Saint Andrews in the feature match of the season on Saturday, the semi-finals of the Mainland Cup. The Varsity skipper is confident that the University's largest trophy will stay at U. B. C. again this year. But the defeating of the league- leading Saints will be no easy matter, and the soccer team needs the support of every Varsity student when the teams hook up at Athletic Park on .Saturday. The Scotsmen represent the class of the first division and have never been beaten so far this year. It's when a team is battling against such opposition as this that it needs support. It's up to everybody to turn out to this game on Saturday—let's ?o! Another important reason why Varsity students should go to the game on Saturday is that about half of the money taken in at the gate will, indirectly, go to the campaign fund. Because after referee and ground expenses, etc., are paid the clubs split fifty-fifty and the management of the soccer team will turn in their proceeds at the end of the year to the fund. So that you will benefit the campaign as well as yourself if you take in Saturdays' game. A record crowd is expected at the fifth avenue lot, as it is generally conceded that the winner of this game will win the Mainland Cup. ANOTHER CLINCHING REASON WHY STUDENTS SHOULD GO TO THE GAME IS THAT THE HEINZ BAND WILL BE THERE. Tuum Est. Arts '25 won the Arts '20 relay race yesterday afternoon. The race was the closest for years, Agriculture and the winners fighting all the way. The team was composed of E. Was- son, J. Craig, H. Thompson, N. Arkley, S. Arkley, A. Hemingway, E. Forster, L- McKillop. The time was 37 minutes, 17 seconds. IMPORTANT EVENTS PLANNED TjTRAISE CAMPAIGN FUNDS Rugby Club, Alumni and Basketball Club Will Stage Functions In Near Future RUGBY DANCE On Saturday evening the Rugby club is doing its share in the CAMPAIGN by staging a dance in the auditorium. Tickets are now on sale at the rate of $1.50 a couple. A limited number are being sold, so it will be best to get one early. The festivities will commence at 8.30 and keep going until midnight. Buchanan's orchestra has been engaged, and those who know it say that it can put pep and punch into any dance. This is one way of helping the CAMPAIGN where everyone can have a really good time, and the Rugby boys are to be congratulated on their move. Remember the time, the place, and the price—Saturday, at 8:30 in the auditorium: A dollar and a half. City Swimmers ^/Defeat Varsity University Aquaducks Lose By Four Point Margin The Vancouver Amateur Swimming Club defeated the Varsity Club by a four-point margin in ^the~~dual meet at Chalmers tank on Wednesday evening. The races were keenly contested and excellent time was made in all the events. In both the men's backstroke and 200 yards, free styie, races the finishes were so close that the first and second men were reaching for the end rail at the same time. The spectators were keenly interested in the outcome of the ladies' plunge for distance, as both Miss Helen Gough of the V. A. S. C. and Miss Joan Gilley of U. B. C. made the length of the tank after Miss Gough had already reached the forty-seven- foot mark. Miss Gough won by making the fifty feet in 45 seconds. In the men's plunge, Alan Stewardson of Varsity made the remarkable time of 20 seconds. The men's relay race was fast and furious. At the end of the third lap the teams were tied, and it was McKechnie who gave the Collegians the points when he beat Cameron by a fraction of a foot. The time was 1.17 2-5. In the ladies' relay, the V. A. S. C. beat Varsity handily in 1.32. The results are as follows: 50-yard free style, men; McDonald, Varsity; Stewardson, Varsity; Roberts, V. A. S. C. Time, 30 seconds. Women, Lillian Broadfoot, V. A. S. C; Rettie Tingley, V. A. S. C; Mary Chapman, Varsity, Time, 35 4-5. 100-yard breast stroke, men; Hills, V. A. S. C; Gill, Varsity; Jones, Varsity. Time 1.18.

The word Ceilidh is Gaelic and means spree or jolifica- tion—it is pronounced Caylee. Air the buildings will be used and the various events will take place simultaneously. There will be bridge, dancing (a "jitney" dance) Mah Jong, Fortune Telling, a Chamber of Scientific Wonders, a cabaret, a minstrel show, a one-act play, shooting-gallery, waltz competitions, etc. Every effort is being made to make all events snappy. Various glee clubs and orchestra have promised to assist. More will be disclosed next week about this event. Meanwhile, remember to save the date, Friday, March 21, and also the necessary money for it. University students will have special privileges at this affair, such as lower prices than the public, and as it is being run for their CAMPAIGN it is up to them to give it their heartiest support. BASKETBALL DANCE The Normal Gymnasium on Thursday night will be the scene of some of the most interesting events of the college year. There will be three basketball games to be followed by a big dance commencing at ten o'clock. The games start at 7 p.m., the Senior B men and the Senior A women playing first. In past years the women have treated the men very roughly j.nd the men are anxious to get back at their old rivals. The annual Student Council—Faculty tussle will come next. Both the Students' Council and the profs can boast of some fast men, but the bets favor the profs as their teamwork is said to be practically perfect. Of the four events scheduled for the evening this is the only one where much roughness is expected. The Senior A will meet Chalmers Adanacs in an exhibition game, which promises to be one of the best of the season. Dancing will commence at ten o'clock and will finish an enjoyable evening. The proceeds of the games will go to the Campaign fund. Tonight in jfefie Normal Gym, everybody out. Commenced brk at Point Grey Arts '25 conscripted several of its men last Saturday to commence the breaking of the ground for the playing fields at Point Grey, and under the direct supervision of Wally Shore accomplished a great deal. Tiny Gwyther and Cyril Jones were those to whom Wally looked for information regarding the location of the job, and after they plotted out almost ten pieces of land on which to work they (Continued on Page 4) ^ —"- THE UBYSSEY Feb. 28th, 1924 Students Loose Leaf Supplies A full line of covers and refills at reasonable prices.

W.yBrock, head of the faculty of Applied Science, in an able lecture before the Vancouver Institute last Thursday evening. Because their ancestors had reached a high state of civilization in art, religion, and even some branches of science, when the white race wtre still savages, the Chinese people were inclined to look down upon our social condition, he stated. They consider our great interest in science and our marked individuality in art as nothing but the eccentricities of a semi-barbarous race. This was but one of many thought- provoking statements in the Dean's address on the life, habits and customs of the Chinese people as they appear to an Occidental traveller. Views taken during Dean Brock'.s journeys through Hong Kong, Shanghai, Canton and other Chinese cities illustrated the lecture. The social status of women, the religion and morals, the architecture and music, and the history of the Chinese peoples were all discussed in an entertaining manner. The differences in the various spoken dialects were compared and the written forms of their language a"bly and clearly explained. IflRASS HOCKEY CLUB They were great games! It's too bad nobody saw them. The first took place on Wednesday,_February 20, at the Heather Street grounds when the men's grass hockey team trimmed the women with a score of 5-0. It poured rain during the whole game, and the grounds were in a gloriously greasy condition which caused a good deal of spectacular action. The second was played on Saturday, February 23, at the R. C. M. P. grounds. This time a.team from Varsity beat the Auroras 3-1 in a game of mixed hocEeT The match was followed by afternoon tea, after which everyone went home feeling that it was an afternoon well spent. ^ ORATORICAL TRYOUTS Considerable interest was evinced in the Preliminary try-outs for the Men's Oratorical Contest held last Friday afternoon. The successful competitors were Eric Dunn, Walter Hodgson, Hozumi Yonemura, Wilfred Kelly, Manghat Singh, and Harold Cantelon. These students have been selected to speak in the finals of the Oratorical Contest to be held in the University Auditorium on Wednesday evening, March 12. Dr. W. L. MacDonald and Lome Morgan judged the tryouts. 7- ALIFORNIA GREETS BILL Dear Bill: — Keep the University going. A few of us were out to root for B. C. at the debate tonight. How in the world are you?

Tickets for Play .On Sale Next Monday On Monday next, the exchange tickets for "The World and His Wife" will be on sale here and may be purchased from any member of the Players' Club. These may be sent by mail to the Orpheum Box Office or left there personally. Seats will be assigned in the order in which they are received at the Orpheum. If the purchaser wants seat coupons returned to him he must enclose a self-addressed envelope in which they will be forwarded on the day the Box Office sale opens, otherwise they will be 'held till they are called for on day sale begins. It is very important that each purchaser mark on his tickets whether he wants seats for Monday or Tuesday night, or whether it is immaterial. Prices have not been increased, although expenses for" new scenery, theatre rental and other incidentals are considerably greater than in past years. The entire Orchestra floor and the first five rows of the balcony are $1.00. The remaining rows in the balcony are 75 cents, and the first three rows in the gallery are 50 cents. The remainder of the gallery will be sold as rush seats at 25 cents. As the general public usually buys up the higher-priced seats, many students will find it to their advantage to try seats in the gallery, for there, according to reliable authority, both seeing and hearing are the best in the house. So students (and faculty too) may well patronize the gods, and pass on their superfluous cash to give another boost to the good old CAMPAIGN. Fair Hoop-Tossers Cop Two Fast Games The senioV A girls won a close game on Saturday-night when they defeated the G. W.JV. A. girls 8-7. The game was a very cT5Se one and hard checking was a dominant feature of/it. The game between the Senior B girls and the Normals was al&e-^very e*eBr~~Varsity winning 14—13. The Senior B's had the edge in the first half but the Normal girls rallied in the second and put up a hard fight. The B's lost, however, on Saturday night to the Adanacs. The score was 14-7. The Teams— Senior A—"Patsy" Robinson, Doris Shorney, Isabel McKinnon, Isabel Rus- sel, "Gay" Swencisky and "Bea" Pearce. Senior B.—Winona Straight, Alda Moffat, Irene Carnworth, Catherine Reid, Margery Bell and Margaret Ryan. 7He / MATHEMATICS CLUB. e Mathematics Club willNneet this afternoon, Thursday, in Room 34, at 4.00 p.m. Mr. F.

Anyone who is interested in the development of the pure science is invited to attend. tffJNIOR GIRLS WIN SHIELD For the third time the Women in Arts '25 hold the Interclass Debating Shield—this year, though, it is by default. It has been impossible for the women of Arts '27 to meet the Juniors, because of the illness of one of their debaters and the resulting increased pressure of work. Arts '25 was to have been represented by Miss Helen MacGill and Miss Phyllis Gregory, who debated for the class on one occasion last year, and who were this year to follow up the advantage of Miss Elsie Rilance and - Miss Vera Mather, who defeated the women of Ats '24 last fall. Miss Nan Hodgkiss and Miss Helen Fowler were to have been the spokesmen for the Freshmen. League of Nations Lecture Tomorrow The next League of Nations lecture will be given in the auditorium tomorrow (Friday) at 12.05 noon. Mr. Tom Richardson, ex M.P. will speak on "Labor and the League." Mr. Richardson was a member of the House of Commons for eight years. Since coming to Canada he has kept in close communication with some of the men who are now responsible for Britain's foreign policy. Besides that, he has been making a careful study of the work of the International Labor Bureau at Geneva. Tomorrow's lecture will be especially well-documented. Students who wish to make sure of hearing this forceful and eloquent speaker before he returns to the old country should make it a point to be present. Mr. Lome Morgan, Varsity's invincible International Debater, will occupy the chair. The Florence Confectionery 497 BROADWAY W.

Senior A Basketers Win Two More Games Ex-Normal and Rowing Club en Into Camp The Senior"AJl_pop squad met and defe_ted-thl5T5x-Normals in a fast exhibition game staged at the Y. M. C. A. Gym last Saturday evening. The final score was 38-22. The Ex-Normal team was composed of four Boyes' brothers and Dan McKenzie. This aggregation put up a fine game but were unable to keep pace with the Varsity men who were all in excellent form. During the first half the play was about even, though the Varsity men were shooting better than their opponents, and the half ended with the Collegians leading 18 to 12. Toward the end of the second half Varsity got away in great style and drew away from their opponents, leaving the final score at 38-22. The game was one of the fastest and certainly the cleanest exhibition given by senior teams this season. Not once during the contest did Referee Yeo have occasion to award a free throw. The Teams Ex-Normals—"Tat" Boyes (6), "Cal" Boyes, Jimmy Boyes (10), Earl Boyes (6), Don McKenzie.

Etter Miss Eloise Angell Miss Isabel Macbeth E. J. Eades EDITOR FOB THE WEEK T. W. Brown activity must each contribute something to the fulfilment of their official duties. In the case of the President of the Alma Mater the demands of the position and the personal sacrifices involved are especially great. This position requires a man of broad outlook coupled with a ready grasp of detail and sound judgment. The handicaps with which he has to contend are manifold. The mass of detail and the routine business which must be attended to personally by him is not only irksome but naturally hampers the execution of general and far-reaching policies. Though a great honor is doubtless conferred upon the man chosen to fill the position yet it must be remembered that this honor is achieved at the expense of many others which may be of more direct and permanent value. A -f Ev ,fV REFERENCE BOOKS 2very year the same problems come up with regard to reference books, and no doubt it will continue to come up until certain University students have adopted a somewhat stricter code of morals. The practice of marking up reference books by underlining passages or making comments in the margin, etc., is both unwarranted and unjustified. When using reference books students should bear in mind that these books do not belong to them but to the University library, or even to professors who have been kind enough to loan their own volumes for common use. Disfiguring the books Is a very poor way of showing appreciation. As there is absolutely no necessity for this practice, however, we feel that it will be sufficient to bring the matter to the attention of the students. The other practice is of a more serious nature, and is a constant source of annoyance to the majority of the students of the University. Reference books have a tendency to disappear from the shelf, just at a time when they are in special demand for essay work or examination, and in this way the contemptible action of a few students holds up all the others who have to use the same books. This is clearly not fair play, but as there are no definite means of making the students return these books, we would ask them to abandon the selfish attitude they have hitherto assumed, and to consider others as well as themselves. X ELECTIONS It is imperative that the importance "of the coming elections be realized by the student body. The personnel of the Students' Council for next year will then be determined and it is absolutely necessary that the trustworthiness and general qualifications of those appointed should be considered before the election. If this were always done the possibility of friction between the Council and the students would be practically eliminated. The knowledge that students occupying positions of responsibility have been chosen only after careful consideration of their fitness for office would create that feeling of confidence in the policies suggested that is so vital to effective self-government. The sacrifices demanded of students accepting the responsibilities of office also deserve some consideration. There can be no doubt that the various interests of these students must suffer. Their, academic standing, athletic achievements, and social CAMPAIGN FROLICS. Shoe shining, manicuring, hairdress- ing, fortune telling, and begging are all courses which have been added to the University curriculum within the past week or so. Students taking these courses have found them so profitable that they are beginning to wonder if, when the money necessary for the CAMPAIGN has been secured, it would not be well to "carry on" and raise sufficient funds to carry them through next year while they are at it. There is no doubt that such a vocation would be a great deal easier and more pleasant than working in a cannery, a mill, or even a department store. We feel sure that there are a number of students who have never before realized what a pleasant task cleaning other shoes than your own is, and we fully expect to see a number of the Heinz outfit working at the various stands throughout the city next summer. But, joking aside, we feel sure that the students, both those doing the dirty work and those having it done to them, are to be commended upon the spirit with which they have entered into the thing. It has been a combination of seriousness and fooling which augurs well for the CAMPAIGN both financially and—and—well, otherwise. EFFECTIVE BEGGING In appreciating the work of the students for the CAMPAIGN, it should not be forgotten to praise the Beggar who did such noble work in front of the Arts Building. The Beggar, in picturesque attire, squatted in the main entrance, playing a mouth organ. Presumably his melodies melted the hearts of the students, since it is whispered that a good round sum was collected. CAMPAIGN STUFF INCOGNITO Dear Editor: I am an outsider and have nothing to do with your University, but upon different occasions I have heard the criticism passed that it was a rich man's instiution. Now although I know very little of your University, I am going to relate a little thing that happened the other day, which will, I think, prove that all statements to this effect are utterly unwarranted. Yesterday I had occasion to go up to your college. The first thing I saw was a number of poor students in front of the Arts Building cleaning shoes. It was, I have been told, the onl> way the poor fellows had of working their way through University. A little farther over were a number of poor young ladies pairing finger nails. I started into the entrance of the Arts Building and there in front of me was one poor student, all in rags, playing upon a mouth organ and begging piteously for money. Begging, It seems, was the only way he had "of working his way through." I am sure Mr. Editor that after seeing these sights, no one would have the heart or the convicition to call your Uni- versity a rich man's institution.

Swinging a mattock and handling a Shovel proved to be a delightful pastime when it was announced that some of the women had arrived to cook a bean feed for the noon meal. Bread and butter, beans, coffee, jam, and then more beans, formed the inenu which was served by the snappy waitresses from the year. Although it was Saturday the workers broke their union rules and spent the afternoon on the job removing stumps, rocks, saplings and logs. They turned over the soil with the skill of professionals, and when the blisters "began to burst their language became that of the professional logger and miner. But the women had left for the city and the rich vocabulary was wasted on the barren fields and stubborn rocks and stumps of the new site.

MORE ABOUT RELIGION Editor Ubyssey: It is most regrettable that the favourable impression which the student body has recently created in the public eye by showing its spirit of self-sacrifice and willingness to dig in, should be dispelled to a very large extent by the disgraceful exhibition which appeared on last week's Muck-a-Muck page. There has already been a great deal of adverse comment outside the University. No doubt the wanton and vulgar display was prompted by a sincere desire on the part ot" its authors to start something, but it was going too far. It is surprising that the Editorial board should have permitted such "stuff" to get into print. Apart from the personal slurs cast upon many prominent persons about the college, the sense of decency of most everyone has been grievously outrayed. The offenders owe an apology to the University. Besides, those who think that hell is a big joke, are very much mistaken. All who persist in rejecting Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord will some day have the reality of hell brought very forcibly home to them. Respectfully yours, P. S.J2URTIS, Arts '24. Hillmen Defeat iy Varsity Firsts The Varsity first soccer^eleven emerged on the shorTencTof a 2-1 count at Wilson Park last Saturday when they stacked up against the South Hill pigskin artists. The Hillmen wertT decidedly lucky to come through with a win as the students had the run of play, but the losers fell down badly in their shooting and team work generally. The surburbanites drew first blood after about twenty minutes of play when Ball headed a fast cross in off Buckley's head after Mosher had been drawn out of his goal. Varsity worked hard after this reverse and their efforts were finally rewarded early In the second canto when Wilkinson banged the pill into the rigging and tied the count. End to end play then resulted until in the last five minutes Ernie Hatt sent in a scorcher that gave Mosher no chance to save. It was a good shot but he should never have been allowed the opportunity. Varsity Line-up—Huestis, Lundie, Wilkinson, Ternan, Emery, Ledingham, Phillips, Buckley, Crute, Baker, Mosher, Butler. U. B. C. Soccerites (ytie Central Park Although there were plenty of goals at Powell Street, there were not enough to decide the finalists in the Brunswick Cjjn..XQmpetition, and in spTteTof overtime the game ended 4-4. The pace was fast, and Central Park assumed the offensive at the start, but U. B. C. broke away, and Gibbs scored. The next goal was similar, the Park men making a breakaway to equalize through their left wing. Varsity pressed and Martin's shot was neatly tipped over the bar, but the corner was cleared. However, that player was rewarded when a back deflected one of his drives into the net. Fast even play continued till half time, after which Central Park came down for a brace of goals in quick order. Hee Cant took a say in affairs, and duplicated the feat with two good efforts. Varsity fought to keep its lead, but with just four minutes to go, the Park team tied things up from a scramble in the goal mouth. The overtime saw both teams tiring rapidly, Davidson providing a thrill when he saved a difficult shot, and Cant breaking through only to be offside. A fruitless corner for TJ. B. C. was the only close call. The Line-up—Davidson; Disney and Shields; Fanning, Underwood and Gibbard; Martin, Newcombe, Cant, Gibbs and Evans. v)iyiUSICAL CONCERT ^Continued from Page 1) feuy organization of the city.

Rubenstein was the composer under discussion at last Monday's meeting of the Pianists' Club, Miss Margaret Forward, Arts '24, reading an interesting paper on this great nineteenth century composer. Pianoforte selections were given, in illustration, by Mr. Gerald Kerr, B.A., Miss Jean Telfer, Miss Margaret Forward, Misses Florence and Ida Kerr, and Mr. Harold Etter. Vocal solos and duets were rendered by Mrs. A. White, Mr. Robert Telfer, and Mr. Carl Barton. "FANT/ ASIE" COMES TO THE ©RPWEUM The most gorgeous production ever staged for vaudeville, the premier extravaganza of them all, comes to the Orpheum next week. It is "The Land of Fantasie," featuring Mile. Stasia Ledova, the celebrated operatic ballerina, with W. Wania, Jimmy Lyons and the Eight English Rockets. This notable production is a kaleidoscopic galaxy of dance, music, color and novelty, and will be recalled locally as the outstanding hit of the last vaudeville season. It brings many imported features, including the famous Radi- ana Scene, in which gowns and scenery become a luminous picture of bewildering beauty. George Choos, the "Zeigfeld of Vaudeville," spent more than $40,000 on this revue, which offers five glittering scenes, one hundred costumes, many novelty stage effects, and a great company of artists. Mile. Ledova was premiere ballerina of the Chicago Grand Opera Co. for three years. W. Wania is a graduate of the famous Nijinski dance school of Russia. The Eight English Rockets are an octette of extraordinary dancers from London, and Jimmy Lyons is a well-known vaudeville comedian. English in origin, the Land of Fantasie was an enormous success on the other side, and in its present form eclipses anything of the kind heretofore attempted. One might think that the balance of the bill would suffer, but this is not so. There are several other excellent feature acts, all of which blend into a splendid vaudeville offering.

BADMINTON TOURNAMENT (Continued from Page 1) emerged victor, 11-5, 13-10. The men's singles between O. Woodman and W. Argue provided the feature of the evening. Woodman won the first game rather easily, but the second game was closely contested all the way, Woodman's steadiness finally overcoming the advantage Argue had secured by his fast smash es. The score was 15-7, 15-11. Miss Millener and Miss Davidson won the Ladies' Doubles from Miss Hallamore and Miss Harvey after a strenuous three-set match 15-10, 16-17, 15-8. In the Men s Doubles, Woodman and Argue defeated Cantelon and Shakespeare in straight sets 15-8, 18-17, 15-0. The second game was featured by long rallies and brilliant playing, but the pace proved too much for the losing team, and the third was run oft very quickly. After a hard contest Woodman and Miss Millener defeated Cantelon and Miss Davidson in the Mixed Doubles. The latter tam won the first contest quite easily, but were beaten in the next two games, 2-15, 18-13, 15-2.

Let Us Make Canada a Great Nation Young Men and Women of the Student Body: We, the organized Native Sons of Canada, are deeply impressed with the need of greater unity between the provinces of our country. We realize that Canada can never become a great prosperous nation until provincial prejudices, racial antipathies and sectional feeling are washed away in a flood of patriotism based on and rooted in a Canadian national pride and sentiment. We are endeavoring to develop a national pride and devotion to Canada. We ask for your assistance in any way that you may see fit to render it.

NATIVE SONS OF CANADA Vancouver Assembly, No. 2 WHITE NIGHT. Moonlight—and the waters far below Run their appointed course among the rocks, Impatient chafe, by rocky fetters bound. Faint wisps of cloud adorn the silent sky, Display fantastic shapes and fade away. A bon-fire dimly lights the log-strewn beach, The fitful flames now leap, now dully glow. Sounds of the night—the river's murmuring song, Break in upon the stillness—and your voice, Low and carressing, murmurs soft to me. And over all the glamour of the moon. The glamour of the moon—a potent spell Woven in olden days—and shattered now. Ah! why did you destroy that spell for me. . , KlLAMANI. Science Men Give V Enjoyable Dance Dear Izzie: — Just a line to tell you about the dance last night. You know we have to hand it to the Science boys; they really can give sure-fire dances (hot- stuff, of course). The sale of tickets was restricted, which kept the affair from being a four-hour scrum, and I came home with only half the usual number of digs on my insteps and heels. Because of the donation of $100.00 to the Campaign, we felt beforehand that perhaps something would be lacking. Believe me, such was not the case. The refreshments were plentiful and easy to eat; the punch was excellent, and those four hundred balloons were all that were needed to make Lester's look the best ever. After supper those balloons just seemed to be wafted down to the ground without human aid, and I was quite bewildered until a nice Science man with whom I was hopping, murmured an explanation about copper wire, beeswax and electric current. Everybody admired the lovely big electrical sign which the engineers had made. It had "U.B.C." and "Science" in big, red letters, with a "Splendor Sine Occasu" background. Mrs. Klinck, Miss Bollert, Mrs. Brock, Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Ducker- ing were patronesses. Those of the faculty who were present seemed to be having a wonderful time, perhaps because they were the only ones whose balloons were intact throughout the evening. Why were they? Leaving this question with you, I'll saw off till next week. Yours, LIZZIE. Dancing <*Xctiwtwn&, 556 Granville St. Vancouver, B. C.

The Campaign which is now being so urgently conducted is not only proving that college men and women have real organizing and executive ability, but is helping to annul that age old prejudice. It is also gratifying to know that the Campaign has brought to light new fields of endeavour before the eyes of ambitious students, and erstwhile professional college men and women will now be seen in the more engaging and practical roles of shoe blacks, manicurists, fortune tellers and .tonsorial artists.

Anide, K.C.N.) onsiderable interest has recently been aroused in the methods employed at the University of B. C. for the extraction of silver, copper and gold. It is therefore thought that a summary of preliminary development and operations might prove of general interest. Prior to 1922-23 attention was centered at odd intervals round the possibilities of operation at Point Grey. In the main, however, such interest was purely speculative, and it was not until the date mentioned that public and political sympathy was aroused sufficiently for operations to assume any definite form. The proposed development can roughly be classed under the heading of "mental" and "physical," and it is with the latter that the present summary deals. A mill site was set apart, and it was decided to erect a reduction works x so that the whole plant when finished might be thoroughly up-to- date. In order successfully to finance the project it was of course necessary to determine the existence of suitable ore bodies carrying the required metals in economically recoverable amounts. In the autumn of 1923 the lower mainland was subjected to intensive prospecting and several promising finds were made. Early in 1924 it was decided to commence operations on a small property lying between Laurel and Willow Creeks, and situated half a mile south of their junction with False Creek. Geological investigation had proved the existence of a small ore body of irregular shape, carrying copper and silver with a trace of gold, and thought to have a total value of about $10,000.00. All three metals were in a highly altered state, and confined mainly to pockets. Their occurrence was therefore decidedly spotty, but examination under the microscope revealed that this last was in no way connected with certain outbreaks of smallpox. The richest ground proved was found to exist just west of Willow Creek, and there was a decided falling off in values toward the northwest corner of the property. A noteworthy decision was made when, in considering the means to be employed in mining, it was decided to ban all underhand methods and adopt the principle of glory-holing, which it was thought would also increase publicity. The methods, too, which are being employed to extract the metals from the mined ore indicate considerable originality. P. Barr, after intensive work on ore from a high-grade deposit, developed the cellulose-graphitic method, which produced excellent results, yielding in some cases 100% recovery. R. Hedley and associated engineers, in experimenting at the Muckers' Hop Claim, obtained a good return by altering the feed. The 2 in 1 method adopted by J. Sills & Co. is producing brilliant results. The Department of Nursing developed a sweet idea resulting in the deposition of silver—the sugar going into solution. Under celestial guidance the old method of clipping has been revived, and it is hoped that once through the experimental stage will prove of economic importance. Space unfortunately prohibits a summary of the beauty method, but its results will be watched with great interest. The Faculty has also been active, their work being along lines already well established. Though the above is only a summary, it is felt by the writer that operations commenced so successfully can safely be left without the immediate necessity of further boring (by him). It is however suggested that a careful selection of approved methods might yield an excellent recovery if applied it Hastings and Queens Park in August or September. Dean Coleman Gives Address tcvS. C. M. Dean Coleman's lecture, "Psychology and Christianity," which was to be given at the S. C. M. conference and was postponed, was held last Monday noon in Room Z. Mr. Stuart Allen acted as Chairman. Dean Coleman maintained that Psychology has had a great influence on Christianity and that its teachings have done much to support it. He pointed out that many religious views are sustained and strengthened by the doctrines of Psychology. "This," he said, "is being emphasized by the recent discoveries in the other sciences." He also spoke of the Atonement and as a means of illustration he outlined the two views—the legalistic view, and the influence of character view. At the close of his talk, the speaker gave those assembled an opportunity of asking questions and this led to some very interesting discussion.

Never in the history of this playhouse has there been such a demand for seats as has resulted since the coming of this company to Vancouver. Miss Verna Felton, the leading woman, has been acclaimed a genius in the histrionic art, and her admirers are numbered in the thousands. The comedy-drama "The Chorus Lady" is the current week's attraction. It is a story of deep heart- interest. As an indication of the up-to-date methods of the Empress theatre management, next week's offering will be a play that has not yet finished its run in New York. • It is "The Crooked Square," an exposure of tne lives of many in high places.
