University crici Critical ~ ■&**^^^&»j^&^H*Lx- „- .****•* s-*^ Conditions Blamed Upon Lock of Of Preparation As Over $2000 Loss Union finances at the University of Alberta are at a critical stage, with a reported loss of more than $2000 already this year. Condition of the budget has been^v blamed mainly on the lack of prep aration and analysis of club budget. Union treasurer Gerry Watkins proposed a plan which would give more responsibility to Individual club treasurers, and less responsibility to the central organization. University of Alberta Union, which compares with the Alma Mater Society of UBC, has lost $2465 already this year. Their present surplus of $281 is only a fraction of the budgeted surplus, which was set at $2312. Watkin's suggestion is that each club treasurer keep records which will give adequate information on past expenditures. In this way, they I31, could compare their expenses with the amount allotted to them in the Union budget. The fact that they cannot control their revenue has caused their present crisis. Union organization revolves around finance, and Watkins insisted that their method is suitable for n student enrollment of 1800 rather than the three to four thousand of today. Nevertheless, enrollment has gone down to 3375 from the 3975 of last year, a factor which may influence future budget decisions. An additional one thousand dollars is now required because of a change which has moved their fiscal year ahead to June 30, rather than March 'Twin Clossts Fraternities Spring Rushing Starts Today Rgistration for Spring Fraternity Rushing is now well under way and will continue until February 14.

He stated that' he did not support the suggestion of a seperate veteran alumni. "There is already too much segregation of veterarfs," he told the meeting. Veterans owe a great deal to the Legion, Grant Livingstone, AMS president, 1947-48, said. He also praised the university, who, he said, "have given us a good deal." "It is our duty to repay that debt," he said? He felt the debt could be repayed in a measure by affecting a continued connection with the university bj means of an ex-service branch of th< alumni. He stated that students are in a position to offer leadership to local Legion groups after they leave UBC President of Branch 72, John Haat outlined a program for the futurr to include the annual dance, a nationally sponsored student veteran: wives' day and a possible banquet. Legion officials last week told thc Ubyssey they feared th#y might havr to quit the campus because of the lack of support from membership. They proposed leaving UBC, carrying on in their present role, or setting up an alumni service for vets whe had graduated from UBC.

Les Armour Senior Editor HUGH CAMERON Associate BETTY HORT1N Assistant ANN LANGBEIN A Sense Of Relief It is with a sense of relief that we learn of the Canadian Legion's decision to remain on the campus—and to remain as a strong constructive force in campus life. With the influx of ex-service students, campus activities not only became vastly more complex—they took an entirely new turn. Political activity swept over the campus and served* as an impetus to student thought of a calibre never seen on the campus before. Students concentrated their attention on social problems, central .contemporary issues, and mature thought with grati- fyingly significant results. The outside world began to think of the university as a training ground for thinkers rather than as a sanctuary for playboys and flutter-brained co-eds. Behind this tremendous movement stood the Canadian Legion, keeping ex-service students together, helping them solve the problems attendant upon a return to school, and generally exercising a stimulating and moder ating influence on campus thought. But the ex-service students are almost gone. The gap left by their passing is even now being felt in every phase of campus activity.

The locals won 8-4 on Friday night and wound up their (Colorado Springs stay with an easy 5-3 victory. The Bengals took to the ice for a»— Uie first game with a solid ten-game winning streak and undefeated sea- som behind them. They had two victories over a tough University of Saskatchewan squad plus wins over the best College teams in the U.S.A. *Birds on the other hand were playing their third game in four flijlhts and had just completed an aj^Uous journey scant minutes be- frr* game time.- •Birds struck fast in the initial STU BAILEY . . . two solo efforts period and racked up a three goal lead in the first ten minutes Of play. The locals dominated the play throughout the remainder of the contest and out-hustled the Tigers whose big advantage was supposed to be hustle. POBTEOUS IN STRIP Bjdb Koch and playing coach Mac PphcOUS were the big guns in thc 'BiNi attack as they countered twice each. Bob was the sensation of the game as he displayed his top form to a packed house at Broadmoor ice palace. Koch left them limp with his second goal which was scored after he Carried the puck through tho entire home team and pulled the goalie out in masterful style. Thsy eheered long for that one. Even more surprising was the work ot Mac Porteous who was not supposed to be a regular. He was Johnny- games and drew the plaudits of the fans and the press. SOLO EFFORT Minutes later classy Stu Bailey clicked with a solo effort to pick up his first |oal of the game. The third and final marker of the period came from the stick of hard working Fred Andrew who turned in his usual effective performance. The Thunderbirds added two more goals in the second period to take a commanding 5-1 lead into the last canto. Bob Koch garnered the fourth local marker on another solo spurt. His sizzling shot caught the upper corner of the twine for the best goal of the game. BAILEY AGAIN Stu "Gunner" Bailey wound up the scoring for the locals to pick up his second tally. His second effort was also unassisted. His performance was easily the most dazzling of the contest. The home-towners rallied shortly in the final session but the locals held them to a pair of markers. Dm Adams rose to amazing heights to turn back the eager Bengals. Don was injured twice in the contest. He received a cut in the face in a goal mouth melee. He returned to action after repairs.. Minutes later he WAGNER BECOMES FATHER WHILE'AWAY WITH TEAM UBC hockey winger Wag Wagner picked the wrong time to travel with the team on their prairie jaunt. Last Friday, Wagner's wife gave birth to a baby boy. Wag would have been back by the time the baby arrived, but the tot was born prematurely. Both mother and son are doing fine now. This is Wagner's second child. FRED ANDREW . . . played usual good game was knocked unconscious when hit by a butt end. The game was re on-the-spot for a pair of Wagner j^med after a sh0rt rest with Adams efforts. The entire third line was very effective throughout the game. SECOND GAME * On Saturday night the second game of the two game series was played. Again the locals demonstrated their class by jumping Into a three goal \etfi in the first period and coasting home from there. The intial tally was picked up by Hugh Berry on a pass from Bob Koch. These two were standouts in both continuing to play great hockey. The Thunderbirds have now won four straight contests in their current tour. They resume action tonight at Denver against Denver University. HOME THURSDAY The locals will return home on Thursday night to rest for the resumption of the tough Hamber Cup series against University of Alberta on Monday and Tuesday, January 23rd and 24th at the Forum. Next Rugger Match On Jan. 28 If Snow Goes Bad weather conditions forced postponement of the opening tilt in the McKechnie Cup rugger series last Saturday and if this current cold keeps up, it may well cause another game to be put off. Cancellation of the opening garnet between UBC Thunderbirds and Victoria Crimson Tide was announced late Friday night. Next Scheduled game for the Thunderbirds will be on January 28, but if the cold continues, it is doubtful that the fields will be in shape to play. Student ruggermen are trying to' keep in condition over' what they figure will be a long rugger layoff until the snow melts off the grounds. Practices are held for the named members of the 'Bird team almost every day. The boys work out and run around even though they do not have much opportunity for scrimmaging. Thirty-five ruggermen turned out for Monday's noon hour practice, even though only fifteen will make up the Thdnderbird roster. Cold Moybe? Northern Cage Stars Too Rough For Chieftains UBC Chiefs after breaking the twelve game winning streak of the star Vancouver Clover Leafs, travelled to Prince Rupert to take on the northern city's Jets. Friday night in the first of the Exhibition games the Chiefs held the Jets to a 4 point win with the final tally reading 47-43. The northern climate must have undermined the zip of the student cagers in the second game on Saturday night as they went down to a 65-37 trouncing in what has been described as a one sided game from start to finish. Thunrol Seeking Cors, Welcoming Committee UBC Piestige Rests on Welcome 7o Visiting Beai Hockey Team Rv RAV FROST Kncto^ w., ik<, f„„»»v«*.:.:«= «_ n u.. i ,_ By RAY FROST By the way that UEC's ice hockey team was treated during their stay at Edmonton, one would think that they were kings, not student Thunderbirds. IMPRESSIVE WELCOME When the 15-man delegation from this university stretched themselves off the plane at Edmonton, they were greeted by virtually the entire enrolment of students from the University of Alberta. At least it seemed as if there were that many. And the 'Birdmen were never lacking attention while they stayed at the prairie city. Luncheons, tours and other entertaining activities were part of tho treats afforded the visiting UBC group. Sights and sites of growing Edmonton were pointed out to the members of the UBC delegation, and a tour of the University nf Alberta campus was also on the agenda. Various fraternities lent a hand to make the visitors feel at home. Full schedule of parties, banquets, and BH-toRethers of all kinds were hosted by the fraterhities. Nothing was overlooked in seeing that the UBC group were contented. Now when University of Alberta Golden Bears come to Vancouver to play the remainder of the Hamber Cu.) series with the Thunderbirds, Thunral wants to show them the same hospitality which the visitors showed UBC. WANTS MEMORABLE STAY Don Knight, head of Thunral, wants to make the Bjars' stay in Vancouver a memorable one. First thing needed is a reception committee which will go down to meet the Bears when they step off the plane at Sea Island at 8:15 p.m. Sunday. Thunral would like UBC students from Alberta, if possible, to form this vital committee, g: eeting the visitors properly and escorting them to their lodgings at Acadia Camp. But if any group, in particular, such as one of the fraternities or campus clubs, would like to take on this duty of UBC. their offer would he readily accepted by Knight. As well as the welcoming committee, a number of private cars will be needed to transport the Bears and their staff to quarters at Acadia. Private cars instead of a chartered bus would lend a more personal atmosphere to the welcome and make the visitors feel more at home, especially if they were being accompanied by UBC students from their own home province. Other plans for the visitors are already made or will be drafted, such as luncheons and dinners, but the first and foremost task is to meet the boys properly, and to guide them around in their strange new environment. Knight feels that this is a "must" for the prestige of UBC. He is Seeking help from anyone and everyone who is interested. LEAVE NAME WITH BAKKEN All those who want to help out in this cause, contact Don Knight through Ole B'akken's office as soon as possible. If Knight is not there, leave your name and the extent of your contribution with the secretary. SPORTS EDITOR — RAY FROST Editor This Issue HAROLD BERSON Snow, Losses Combine to Sadden 'Bird Road Trip By GIL GRAY Old Maif Winter and UBC's Thunderbird basketball team had "quite a little tussle over the weekend when the 'Birds attempted a road trip south with unhappy results. In order to get the jump on snow*' forecasts and so forth, the Birdmen left for points south on Thursday night Instead of Friday morning. Friday evening the 'Birds were to meet the highly rated ball club from Eastern Washington College, but instead they were held up in Spokane. HEAVY SNOWS Eastern is situated 16 miles from Spokane in a little town called Cheney (If the Eastern boys are listening it's a metropolis). The UBC team clambered aboard their bus for Cheney and are supposed to have made it pert way until they were forced to turn back because of heavy snow on the road.

SOUTHCOTT HOT In spite- of the efforts of Forsyth with 17 and Southcott with 11 points, the 'Birds dropped their first game of the weekend 64-56. The second half was a good one for the 'Birds as they recovered from a 31-17 half time score to outplay the Pirates 39-33. But they didn't quite make it'. Then after getting the OK from. Department head Osborne at UBC the Birdmen finally made the trip to Cheney to play the game on Sunday night that was scheduled for Friday. TOUGH WEEKEND Whether it was the snow, the weekend, the tight man to man defense HITTING STRIDE in game with Whitworth over snowy weekend was sophomore forward John Southcott. Potting eleven points for the 'Birdmen, his efforts were not quite enough to eke out a win.
