PLAYERS CLUB PRESENTS COMEDY TfaKAptm VOL. XXV VANCOUVER, B.C., FRIDAY, MARCH 12,1943 Possibility Of Klinck's Retirement In Jan., 44 • DR. LEONARD S. KLINCK, President of the University since Dr. Wesbrook's death in 1919, will retire in January, 1944, if a suitable man can be found to fill his position, according to a statement to the News-Herald' from R E. McKechnie, Chancellor of the University. Or .Klinck brought the date of his superannuation to the attention of the Staff and OrganizaUon Committee on January 21, 1943, and the the Board of Governors several days later; but the question has received little publicity up to now. A special committee apointod by th* Board of Governors will handle the appointment of a successor. If no suitable successor can be found, Dr. Kllnk will carry on. Born January 30, 1877, President Kllnk will be 67 on January 30, 1941 The normal age for superannuation is 68, but when the insurance and annuities were established certain of the older member* of th* staff had their period of superannuation extended. Dr. Mink's period was extended two years. Dr. Wink was born In Victoria Square, Ontario. He obtained his B.S.A. from the University of Toronto, 1903; MAA. from Iowa State CoUege In 1908; and D. Sc. in 1930; LLD. from th* University of Western Ontario In 1934. FJIAC. in 1943. H* a*rv*d aa a tectum at Iowa State College In 1904. later was placed in eharg* ot th* Cereal Ruaandry department st Macdonald Coueg* for th* next two year*, remaining there as a professor until 1914. July 1, 1914, he was appointed Professor of Agronomy and Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture a'. UBC, and in 1919 he became president of the University. A fellow of the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists, he was the first president in 1920. Dr. Kllnk was decorated with the Order of Agricultural Merit in 1938, and Officler de llnstruction Publlque In 1931. Dr. Kllnk declined to make any comment other than that his superannuation date falls on January 30,1944. Pan-Hell Workshop Saturday • UBC PAN-HELLENIC is holding a "Workshop", in place of the annual convention, on the afternoon of Saturday, March 13. Each sorority will be represented by three members. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss war problems on the campus as they affect all university women, not just those who belong to sororities. In particular the representatives will bring up the problem of physical training as It has recently been adopted on the campus, and possible improvements In its organization. The election of next year's officers will take place, and there will be a thorough discussion of the Constitution and rushing system of the UBC Pan-Hellenic organization.

Woodward is definitely coming to review the COTC at the ceremonial parade on Wednesday afternoon, March 31. He will take the salute on the march-past in the stadium at 4:00 p.m. . Lectures on Wednesday afternoon will probably be cancelled as the parade is expected to fall In at 3:45. A complimentary banquet will be held Wednesday night for all members of the COTC who are joining the navy,% air force or army on the completion of the term this spring. The banquet will be held in the Brock and will be restricted to those going on active service because of the lack of apace. Special platoons have been formed fdr a demonstration of battle drill tactics to be displayed In the stadium Wednesday afternoon. These platoons are composed of men from most of the companies and war* picked for their ability. This Saturday afternoon Brigadier Sherwood Lett will address the corps in the auditorium at 3:00 o'clock. Brigadier Lett is a grad of UBC and was the first president of the Alma Mator Society. He was decorated with th* Victoria Cross for his conduct In th* recent Dieppe Raid. Last Saturday afternoon an officer and other officials of the RCAF tested the prospective recruits for air-crew who are taking the course in navigation snd wireless at the university. It Is expected that these men will leave for the air force sometime in May. Wed. Only Student Night For Green Room's Masterpiece • "GEORGE AND MARGARET" a witty English comedy by Gerald Savory will be presented to the public next week, March 17 to 20. This marks the first modern play put on by the Players' Club in three years. Some of the passages in the script had to be censored by a couple of professors before they would allow it to be shown to the public in general and the freshmen in particular. Love scenes have been rehearsed with vigour and not a little fervour. Blackie Lee. • • .. As Beer Queens University To Accommodate 150 Soldiers in'434 • MARCH 11 (CUP)-Plans are being formulated by the Canadian Government whereby ISO soldiers will be accomodated at Queen's University for training there next fall. During this twelve-month course the men will be under army supervision and discipline. To date no final decision haa been made by the Government regarding the project. If the decision is made to train these soldiers, more space will be needed than the Queens University buildings already provide. There is a possibility that the swimming pool will be floored over to ease the situation. Female Stage Crew* Takes Over PHYLLIS GRANT, Joan Clark, Sally Panton and Margie Beale are here shown demonstrating their efficiency in the new job they have taken over for the spring play. Nevertheless none of the humor of the play has been taken away from this story of a slap-happy family which has more individuality under its English roof than could be found In a mud-hut full of monkeys. Elizabeth Locke takes the part ot Alice Garth-Bander, the ruler of the household, who imagines that ah* gives the orders to both her family and her husband, although In reality she commands little mors respect than a lance-jack in th* COTC. Her husband, Malcolm, played by Allan Ainsworth, is a meek little fellow, but under his meekness, h* hides an understanding heart which he needs to attempt to figure out his rather eccentric family, and a faculty for disorganizing th* whole household. STINKER Ronald H*al portrays Dudley, th* younger son of th* family, th* self-appointed critic of all and sundry. Having reached his twenty-first y*ar, he is under th* impression that he has grown a crust of Indifference which help* him to maintain his belief that he is an odious stinker. Blair Baillle In the role of Claud*, th* oldest of th* Garth- Bandar brood, Is an affected, superior sort of English gentleman who dream* up horribl* architoc- ural nightmans to aell to th* sue- cere of th* En^lsh countrystd*. In his spar* tiro* Claud* bo- comes "mixed up" with th* maid, Gladys, played by H*lga JarvL Of course thin causes no end of trouble for this peaceful little household. The Garth-Banders are landed gentry, whereas Gladys is from sturdy farmer stock. Claude'i mother is naturally opposed to such an inglorious match, but true love will always find a way, regardless of mama's wishes. Sandra Gordon steps right into the character of Hankie, the daughter. Frankie, to put lt into the words of her family, is suffering from a slight case of "vestal recklessness," and after much chasing around for prospective husbands she finds the real thing In the person of Roger Framby, a guest of the Garth-Banders', played by Art Jones. Roger Is a short-haired pianist with "lovely broad shoulders" and a local head, although he Is not entirely immune to the scourge of wackiness that pervades the whole play. GREMLINS Although this play is reasonably free from ghosts, pixies, and other gruesome creatures, a touch of the unnatural is added to lend "George and Margaret" a shred of dignity in the person of Beer, (Blackie Lee) the maid, who takes over from where Gladys, the last servant, left off. "George and Margaret" will be shown for four nights next week. Wednesday, March 17, is Students' Night and the curtain will rise at 6:30. The ticket office in the Quad will be open Monday and Tuesdsy noons, from 12:30 to 1:30 and tickets will be given on the presentation of the student pass. There will be no admission without tickets. There tickets are good for Wednesday night only. Tickets for the performance on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights can be obtained from members ot the Players' Club, or from Kelly's on Seymour.

Art Jones BEER Blackie Lee Page Two THE UBYSSEY Friday, March 12, 1943 • From The Editor's Pen » » » Over-Crowded Calendar It is becoming more obvious as the year goes on that the extra-curricular activities of the student body are in great need of more co-ordination. The situation has been aggravated during this spring term because of the fact that the 10-day lay-off in January forced the postponement of many events which then had to be. crowded into the latter part of the term. The greatest sufferer from the lack of intelligent planning of campus events has been the war effort. Last fall when the members of the War Aid set out to buy an ambulance they drew up plans and publicity for a large campaign, at the last moment the Bond sale campaign came along and was granted priority. The Bond sale was a big success, but the Ambulance campaign, which had been postponed for a week, flopped. The Mile of Pennies drive Which ran for a whole week stood to mak* or break itself on the success of its noon; hour campaign*. Yet almost every noon hour found some other feature running in competition with the war drive and the result WW that the Penny campaign received a rather dismal support and fell far short of its goal. These cases are only two of many. It is not actually the fault of any one person or group of persons. However, it does emphasize a situation which is sadly in need of remedy. * The War Effort has been moderately successful. The students are willing to iup- port it and they have given a go>d; 4»al toward it. Unfortunately it has not reft&ed the heights that it should have attained. One good reason is that the student body, although perfectly willing to do its share, has its limits in interest and in ability to give. When the students are constantly bar- raged with requests to attend this dance and that, to give to one cause and then immediately afterward to give to another, when they find that their n6on hours are filled by two or three different events and probably a committee meeting or two, then it is no wonder that some or all of these events do not receive the support they deserve. What is needed is a plan to reduce the conflict of dates. What we suggest, is that a priority be given, to war effort programs, and that when they are scheduled, that no other events be permitted. We suggest some sort of definite objective be set up and that those in charge keep hammering it at the students all year. The past successes of the War Aid Council were accomplished on this principle, and there is no doubt of its value. As to the other events it seems to be obvious that there is too much extra-curricular activity on the campus in view of the war conditions which give the students much less time to spend on activities. In our opinion it would be wise to try and reduce the social schedule, and perhaps some of the activities to a more rational program. If this were done we think that the remaining events would enjoy greater success and thgt the whole scheme would work to the advantage of all concerned. The Mummery • • • • by Jabez THE UPPER BERTH How to Gain Complete Mastery of the Upper Berth • AS A RESULT of my long and bouncey association with the Upper Berth, I have been able to evolve an experimental theory which, in the opinion of many authorities, throws a bombshell into the whole complicated science of dressing in an upper. This work is to appear soon in the scientific brochure, "The Gallileo Guardian", and is entitled, "A Method, with Variations, for the Horizontal Investiture of Habiliments in the Sepulchrous Alterior, or 'Upper Berth'." The highlight of this formidable attempt to cut down the appalling loss of life in upper berths is my work on the "High Arch", or "London Britches Falling Down" system of donning nether accoutrements, or pants. I have discovered, (not without personal inconvenience in self-experimentation which should, I think, merit the Nobel Prize, or at least a good second-hand set of fibs), I have discovered that there is one and one only truly efficient method of putting on trousers in an upper berth. I make this assertion with full knowledge of Dr. Elf Moon- glow's classic work on this subject, ("You Don't Know What You Are, Do You?", p. 358 inclusive). Dr. Moonglow's theory, which has been accepted in the past merely because it was a classic and had won the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, is, no doubt, an admirable and thorough work in some respects. But, in other respects, in the humble opinion of this writer, it stinks. For instance, Dr. Moonglow says, "When applying trousers or britches in an Upper Berth, it has been found wisest to abandon the project before the gyrations and shouted Invective involved have incited a general panic." The italics are my own. The dangling participle is Dr. Moonglow's, and on him it looks good. Now, although my esteemed colleague has advised against attempting to put on one's legwear in an upper berth, it must be obvious to the close observer, like you or me, that the rat makes no attempt whatever at a solution of the problem, cold-bloodedly abandoning the half-dressed victim in his upper without his trousers on, and proceeding with an irrelevant, albeit learned, discussion of the Ethics of the Albino Monkey. This is, I believe, defeatism at its worst, or, as my associate, Dr. Randolph Dung, puts it- "This is, I believe, defeatism at its worst" (Dung, R. What Every Young Sleeping Car Conductor Should Know, Sixty-ninth revision, p. 169-173). What Dr. Moonglow is suggesting is that the passenger clamber down from his upper in his shorts, waiving propriety in favour of appeasement. This is, of course, the sort of thing that breeds wars. Now, my theory, the "High Arch", or "London Britches Falling Down" method of donning britches, is simple, yet dignified. Naturally, I cannot go into the details of this theory as they are still secret, but I can offer an outline of the technique which I have developed.-The essence of the procedure is nothing more than natural body rhythm, and a good sense of timing. If you can dance, there is no reason why you cannot get on your pants in an upper. (N.B.: It must be noted at this juncture that the theory here presented has been worked out for male subjects only. My experiments with females in uppers have, hereto, been rendered somewhate inaccurate by the element of overcrowding, as well as by porters who do not recognize the scientific approach when they see it. I shall, however, repeat my experiments indefinitely until I have achieved complete success, and have convinced myself that, as far as dressing the female in an upper berth is concerned, nothing has been left undone. To every man his life work. End of N.B.) To continue. The first movement of the "High Arch" method is simply that of swinging the legs up from a lying position, until they are at right ankles to the body. It will be found easiest to do this when lying on the back. There are some who claim to prefer lying on the stomach, but in all my experiments the subject have tended to suffocate in the pillow. This is undesirable. Now, with the legs at right angles to the body, the shorts, if any, and trousers are dropped in turn over the feet. To do this, it will be necessary to swing up the fore part of tiie body, at the same time bringing the feet down into an inverted crouch position. It is at this point that your wallet slips out of your pants pocket, falling into the corridor with a musical tinkle of loose change. We'll wait for you while you try to get somebody to hand it up to you. Now that you have regained your wallet, minus a certain amount of loose change, we can proceed with the procedure. The trousers are now hanging, inverted, on your legs. This is the point at which all the older techniques leave off, and at which the real beauty of the "High Arch" method is to be seen to the full. The subject now straightens out the legs, and slowly arches the body, until it is resting on the heels and the top of the head, with the stomack as the high spot on the crescent. The trousers are then seized by the hands and whisked over the posterior in a twinkling. With time and practice, it is possible to become sufficiently adept at the "High Arch" to not only draw on shorts and trousers, but also tuck in shirt and sweater. The ability to do this is, of course, the touch of the master, and the beginner must not be overly ambitious at first, or he will break his silly back. I strongly recommend, also, that all those who will be living a fuller life, thanks to my "High Arch" theory, be on the alert for my next work, "How to Drink Orange Juice While Travelling Through Northern Ontario. It's a killer. 1. (Well, what the hell are you doing here? Read the rest of it, for goodness sake). ftp Pbgsaeg (MEMBER C.U.P.)

Sports R*porters Eileen McKillop, Jim Schats • Opinion By GWOT • MUCH has been said by many and various people within the past few months on the controversial subject of classical versus modern music. A survey of the views embodied in the frequent contributions to the "Letters to the Editor" sections of downtown newspapers has revealed a rather significant difference in the attitudes of the supporters of the two schools. Those showing a preference for "modern swing" display at the same time a rather consistent attitude of tolerance towards classical music, a sort of "if they want the long-hair stuff, let them have it, don't bother us with it" point of view. On the other hand, an analysis of classicists' comments and ideas seem to reveal an unfortunate attitude of petty intolerance in the majority of cases for all kinds of modern music, and the denial ot any righteous place for any such music In the cultural pattern of our society. This attitude is ovioiuly a resultant of a narrow outlook, and a total lack of ability to view the question in its proper perspective. No one can possibly observe the widespread prevalence ot modem music, especially on tne American continent without realizing that this is the music of thc people. It is the expression of the fast- moving parade of events, the ups and downs in the lives of the mass of ordinary working people. From the first introduction of ragtime music, it has become a pleasant release and n relaxing let-down in the lives of the majority of the people. Raptime music became a necessity in World War I„ an emotional release of inestimable value. The musk produced was purely representative of the war atmosphere, partly the "to hell with it" canteen song3, such as "Pack Up Your Troubles," and partly homesick songs such as "Long, Long Trail." From the war the world drifted Into a short depression, and the production of tho ' blues became common, such pieces I as the "St. Louis Blues" gaining great prominence. Then came the boom years, with modern music reflecting the hectic money-making atmosphere with such selections as the Black Bottom and the Charleston, etc. Then came the crash, and the really melancholy blues such a« "Solitude," and the like came into be- f^-. 0 0 * - Special Student Rate at CAPITOL - ORPHIUM - STRAND - DOtONION By Presentation Of Your Student Pas* Ronald Colman Greer Garten in "RANDOM HARVEST' CAPITOL Bins Crosby, Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour in "ROAD TO MOROCCO" plus Added Feature STRAND Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant In "ONCE UPON A HONEYMOON" Added Shorts "THE PI Gary Cooper in E PRIDE OF THE YANKEES plus Added Feature DOMINION V.C.F.-The Varsity Christian Fellowship 1* having Mr. Melvin Donald, General Secretary for Canada of the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, as speaker on Friday noon at 12:45 in Arts 305. ing .followed by the more hopeful songs, such as "Rose Coloured Glasses," and "There's a Rainbow Round My Shoulder."

Of Sin For Sake Of Art By VIRGINIA HAMMTTT • THESPIANS of the Green Room, that den of iniquity, have run into a snag in the production of their Spring opus, "George and Margaret." Claims have been made by people who ought to know that the love scenes of said play are not passionate enough. Intrigued by these claims a frus- --—-—-_________■___________. trated UBYSSEY reporter dashed over to watch an Informal rehearsal and record for posterity the comments of fascinated onlookers. As the Stage Room in the Brock, where the rehearsal was being held, was approached, a voice could be heard, (later identified as belonging to Anne DuMoulin, president of the Club) "A Uttle more backbond there, please—aahhhhh, that's fine!" Entering the room, your reporter found a group of enthralled spectators gathered around the two lovers emoting in the centre ot the floor, (purely for art's sake). Peter Remnant, renowned art critlo on the campus—well renowned, anyway, was overheard to state, "... censored . . .' Lucy Berton waa mumbling Incoherently in a corner, "Mary Ann, Mary Ann, Mary Ann . . ." Lorraine Conway, prominent Junior, shrieked, "Let me show th*ml Please, let me show them!" and had to be forcibly restrained from carrying out her touching plea. Don Newson, well-known Phi Delt and Players' Clubber, remarked in a bored tone, "Could we have a little mor* passion there please? Rather amateurish, don't you think?" Andy Snaddon, editor-in-chief of the UBYSSEY, stated in a flat' voice, "When I was working on the Calgary Herald . . ." Beside him John Carson insisted frantically, "The affair must go no farther) I shall have you, up before the Discipline Committee! Indeed I shall!" Joyce Orchard, who was with Hugh Ritchie, did not seem to be very Interested in what was going on. Teenie Fleming, who was intensely interested in what was going on, suggested in a mild voice, "Couldn't they look as if they (the actors, not Joyce and Hugh,) were enjoying themselves a little more?" The last prominent campus figure noticed was Rodney Morris, erstwhile president of our esteemed Students' Council. He was jumping up and down, whistling shrilly and clapping his hands ecstatically. When last seen, he had collapsed, gibbering, in a corner and had to be carried out. Committees Investigate Finances • SEVERAL new committees were set up at the last Council meeting. The chairman of the committees will report at the next general meeting of the Students' Council which will be held within a few weeks.

Both UBC and Shores have already swept aside the initial opposition, namely, Lauries and R CAF, respectively. Shores were probably the more Impressive of these two finalists opponents in their semi-final aeries. The Jewellers rolled tip a total of 110 oolnts in beating th* RCAF in two straight games. That break* down into a S3 _ame average which isn't exactly a medicre accomplishment. George McConnell, instead of being shackled somewhat, rolled up hi* usual 16 point average (23 In the first game and 9 in th* second) and he was ably supported by particularly Kenny Lawn and generally the rest of th* Shores' sharpshooters, Earl McDonagh, Jack Graham, Ray Jenkins, Jimmy Campbell, and Wes Manson. This little spiel on th* power of th* Shores' ball club, waa meant to convey to you, th* thousands of Vawtry fans who will nun oat la huge gobs of humanity n*xt Saturday to watoh th* UBC-Shores Mites, the tough Job that Varsity face*. However, th* Thunderbird* ar* far from being counted aa a supporting outfit only in the oomitfg games. Varsity is, and always has been, a money team. They're at their best with something at stake, and with this poaibly th* last Mason for many 'Bird players till after the war, they wtil b* out there fighting with everything they have. The man whom the Varsity attack and defense is expected to be built upon, ia tall Gordie Sykes. "SI" was delegated to this role after his glittering feat of holding previously High-scoring Arnie Bumstead to 13 points In the last two games of the Varsity-Laurie series. Other members of the squad on whom Coach M. L.

In the recent semi-finals series, George McConnell and Ken Lawn walked off with two highest-scoring averages.

K Ruddy Rugger Matheson Paces By JIM SCHATZ * LAST FALL when we all gathered here for another term of college life a number of rules and regulations were set down in front of us all regarding those who wished to partake in the sports program. One of these rules was that no person was allowed to play for any outside team without the consent of the university officials. Whether some of our students have not yet learned to read before they came here we do not know but one of the first problems of this session was the case of four basketball players who combined in a team to beat the two teams from the Varsity they attended. These four players who were playing for Calders' Olympics were brought before the Discipline Committee and duly punished. The story was given much publicity that all other people with similar ideas would profit by their example. However, three boys have had to be called before the Discipline Committee again for a similar offense. This time the trouble involves the English Rugby team. It seems that three fellows have been playing for an outside team when they tare needed on the side of the Blue and Gold. These three men are Bill Orr, Bob McDonnell, and Dougie Reid. They have played for the Ex-Byng team in the Bell-Irving and Tisdall Cup series. Where they have failed to abide by the«rules and regulations is that they failed to get the proper and necessary permission and have assigned themselves to an outside team in an independent manner. The said students have been warned about the affair they have worked their way into but then maybe they can not remember over a period of five months. Furthermore, they had the example set up last fall in the basketball controversy to go by. Why they took the action they did will not be definitely known until they explain themselves before the Discipline Committee. No one likes to see a number of students apprehended in this manner but surely the idea of true sportsmanship must be carried first in all affairs that this University takes part in. The only way to ensure that this decent sportsmanship is carried out is to see that the students themselves uphold it first. Bob McDonnell and Bill Orr playing the first game and Dougie Reid in the second. Softball Under Way; Football To Finals • A FULL PROGRAM on the Intra-mural schedule has been planned for the finish of the term. The fioftbal! series will be well under control by next Saturday if the teams come through In the manner ordered and have the first round played off by that date. The winning teams must be declared by tomorrow night. At present only two of ten contests have been registered on the score sheet. They are a victory for Xi Omega over Zeta Psi to the tun3 of 22 to 7, and a triumph of 8 to 1 for the Gamma crew over PslUp- silon. In the touch football set-up there are seven teams left in the running. They are Kappa Sigma, D U„ and Lambda, who have not yet been defeated. The other four aro Gamma, Phi Delta Theta and the winner of the Xi Omega-Oml- crons. The XI Omega-Omicron mixture takes place Friday. Tills week Omlcrons beat the Phi Gamma Delta and last Monday the Kappa Sig score five points to the Xi Omega's goose egg. The playing conditions have been exceptionally good the past few weeks and the program has advanced remarkably well. With the coming of spring the effort to run the schedules off without n hitch will become more and more easy, hence a greater effort should be expected to be put Into the games themselves. Franklin And Robertson Set 11-41 Senior B Hoopers • VARSITY'S co-ed basketball team stepped right out last night at Normal Gym as they defeated Pro-Rec 51-25 In the first game of the finals. Varsity lead from the start and the score was 19-6 at the quarter. Pauline Greer lead the scorer* in that quarter. The co-eds further strengthened their lead in the next quarter as they put In eleven points to three for Pro-Ren. Holen Matheson began to run wild in this period, swishing th* ball through th* twine for three beautiful baskets. Helen Matheson continued her spectacular shooting in the third quarter throwing the ball in from all angles. One basket In particular waa a sight to tee. Helen cam* down th* floor with her check almost on top of her, and about mid-floor she wound up and let go. Th* ball •wianod through without touching th* rim.

The feature of the afternoon was Barbara Hibbort of Alpha Delta Pi. when she hung up two season's records with a series of 631 and a single string of 267. The former mark replaces the one marked up by Joan Morris last week of 603 and the latter topped the string of 251 rolled by Babe McPherson of Kappa Alpha Theta earlier in the season. The following is the final standing in the league: ket In this period. In the last period Pro-Rec began their bid but they still couldn't catch Varsity. Peggy Paget lead the Pro-Rec attack. Peggy incidentally, was a member of the former IXL team. This team la now known a* Hedlunds. Betty Walton lead the Varsity sharpshooters in this final quarter as she built up her night's total.
