The Daily Ubyssey Vol. XXX VANCOUVER, B.C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1947 No. 21 Premier Hart Officiates EVERYTHING'S "ON THE RECORD" now at Student Council meetings. A war-developed wire recorder purchased by the AMS preserves for posterity the decisions of Council- Here, AMS secretary Taddy Knapp demonstrates the new pride and joy of Councillors. Council Has Stormy Session On Liquor At AMS Function MOTION COMPELLS COMMITTEE TO PROSECUTE IMBIBERS The liquor question flared into the open Monday night when Council, at the end of a stormy one-and-one-half-hour session, drafted a motion empowering the Discipline Committee to enforce Article XI of the Alma Mater Code, barring liquor and drunkenness at AMS sponsored functions. The motion came after Council * twice went into closed session. It passed with a vote of six to three, the chairman, Grant Livingstone, not voting. PROSECUTION The motiion strictly compelled the Discipline Committee to prosecute anyone displaying "drunkenness, disorderly or unseemly conduct" and anyone showing "clear evidence of actual drinking", at student functions both on and oft* the campus. Opposing the motion were Bob Bagnall, Nora Clarke, and Dave Comparelli. Bagnall said that the motion would "hit against every revenue- producing function" at University, and added that the article would not be enforceable at off-campus funct- - lons. Miss Clarke objected on the basis that the word "evidence" was not clearly defined. She maintained that no action should be taken against a student unless his conduct was disorderly, and that only "open" drinking should be regarded as disorderly conduct. PROHIBITION Dave Comparelli argued that tho motion was merely a "law of prohibition". He also noted that those who had voted in favor of the motion were teetotallers. Rosemary Hodgins, UBC representative, voted in favor of the motion on the understanding that strict enforcement of the article would be carried out by the Discipline Committee, and that enforcement would be carried out at both on-campus and off-campus functions. Council Rejects Ball Petitions Petitions to change the scene of the Fall Ball failed to influence the Student Council at their meeting Monday night. The opinions of 300 students were rejected as a motion was passed in support of Council's policy to return Varsity functions to the campus. The motion to hold the annual Fall event in the Armory had previously been accepted by the Undergraduate Societies Committee and the Fall Ball committee. Priority Rooms OK For Minor Clubs Clarifying a statement made last week with regard to room bookings by minor clubs, Grant Livingstone, president of the Alma Mater Society, said yestefday that they can not be ousted from priority rooms such as Arts 100, after confirmation of their reservation. Confirmation is made one week before the date reserved. Under the ruling, minor clubs such as political clubs can reserve strategic rooms ahead for important meetings. However, ii a request for the room is made by a major club before confirmation, they have priority. UBC Scientists Aid In Fight Against Cholera UBC scientists added their life-saving contribution last week to the world's fight against raging cholera in the Middle East. Tubes of cholera organisms were *>- sped by air from campus laboratories to the Hebrew University at Jerusalem. Scientists there will use wnr- devteli ped techniques to extract precious cholera vaccine from the Canadian organisms, They will use manufacturing methods first developed in North America by Dr. C. E. Dolman and L. E, Ranta, of the UBC bacteriology department. As members of the Connaught Medical Research Laboratories engaged in wartime experimentation, the two university scientists worked in secrecy to develop the cholera vaccina. The vaccine is now made in Toronto, but sent to UBC for tests. Palestine scientists will use it to stem the tide of epidemic before it spreads from Egypt. USA Invaders Escape Wrath Of Councillors NEW POLICY IN FUTURE "The puerile and irresponsible minority" who are alleged to have conducted themselvevs improperly under AMS liquor: regulations at the Bellingham Invasion, October 11, will escape legal action by the Discipline Committee, Grant Livingstone disclosed yesterday. Livingstone's announcement that prosecution would be withheld coincided with a Student Council decision Monday night which declared that in future all offenders against the liquor provision would be hailed into a student courtroom. NEW POLICY Article 11 states that there shall be no drinking of intoxicating liquors, drunken or disorderly conduct at AMS functions on or off the campus. In establishing the new enforcement policy for the article, Livingstone believes it will prevent future functions from being jeopardized. "This ruling is an attempt to prevent any recurrence of the unfortunate bad publicity for tho University which arose out of the invasion. "The conduct of the offending minority almost offset, in the public mind, the good clean time and the boost to UBC spirit given by the overwhelming majority of the invasion force.' he said in a release to the Daily Ubyssey. ACTION TAKEN "Some of the guilty individuals have been dealt with by the civil authorities and some privately," he added. While no formal action will be ordered at this late date, the 'exaggeration of such incidents as ocur- red has forced Council to establish a policy of enforcement of the article to prevent future functions from being jeopardized." The new policy requires enforcement of the article "to the detriment of that minority but in the interests of successful functions for the majority." "No one who went to Bellingham ror enjoyment and who did not interfere with the enjoyment of others nor damaged the reputation of the University need be worried by the new ruling," he said. At Building Ceremony Councillors Vetoes WUS Authority Women's rights came under fire Monday night as Council vetoed WUS authority over the Mildred Brock Room in order to make special arrangements for the Liberal Club reception for Hon. Paul Martin, to be held here Thursday- Mr. Martin, federal minister of national health and welfare, will be on the campus Thursday to address a Student meeting at 12:30 p.m. in tlie auditorium. WUS IGNORED The issue centred around the fact that neither the Liberal Club nor Council itself had notified Nora Clarke, WUS president, that the room was to be used on that date. Miss Clarke argued that the matter should be put to the WUS executive, and since the next meting of the executive will not be held until after the reception for Mr. Martin, Grant Livingstone asked if Miss Clarke would grant special permission on this occasion. CLARKE DECLINES Miss Clarke refused to comply with the request, and Council, headed by, Jerry Macdonald, promptly overrode WUS authority on the matter, and put through a motion enabling the reception to be held, although a stipulation that food was not to be consumed at the reception was inserted. Also drafted was a letter of apology that Miss Clarke was not informed earlier of the proposed reception. LECTURES OFF The Twenty-first Autumn Congregation for the conferring of degrees will be held on Wednesday, October 29th, at 2:30 p.m. in the Auditorium. All lectures and laboratories will be cancelled from 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 29th. N. A. M. MacKENZIE, President Ruddeli Sees BCER In 'Dictator' Role B. C. Electric officials were charged with "dictating to city council" over franchise and taxat'on matters Tuesday by Elgin Ruddeli, forthcoming civic reform candidate in Vancouver elections. Speaking at the meeting of the Student Labor-Progressive Club, the aldermanic candidate also levelled charges of "padding of expense accounts" against the company . "The BCER has always had its own way with the City council," lie charged. "The council has never stood up for a square deal. If the city got the taxes it deserves from the BCER their revenue would be increased by 1V2 million dollars." Full Schedule Planned For Congregation Day UBC's first permanent building to be completed in more than 20 years will be officially opened by government and university dignitaries during impressive ceremonies to be held today in the main lecture room of the university's new Physics unit. Premier John Hart, under whose ■ administration UBC has mushroomed to Canada's second university, will hand the keys of the building to Chancellor Eric W. Hamber. HONORARY DEGREE Earlier in the day, at fall congregation, the retiring Premier will receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from UBC Chancellor Eric W. Hamber. The physics building ceremony is scheduled for 4:30 p.m., following the awarding of degrees which is to be held at 2:45 p.m. At another ceremony rich in significance for UBC students, undergraduate "trekkers" of 1922 will gather at their simple stone cairn to commemorate the event. ANNIVERSARY They will mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of their famous march with ceremonies beginning at 5 p.m. before the cairn. In the event of rain, the "trekkers" will meet in the Armory. Members of the publicity committee in 1922-23 who circulated petitions to have UBC moved to Point Grey and marched through Vancouver with signs and floats will attend the unique celebration. John A. Grant or J. V. Clyne, members of the publicity committee in their student days, will address the gathering. SHEEPSKINS Three hundred UBC students will receive sheepskins at fall congregation ceremonies in the auditorium. Four distinguished scientists, two from the United States, will receive honorary degrees of Doctor of Science. They are: Lee Alvin DuBridge, president of California Institute of Technology; Ernest Orlando Lawrence, of the department of physics at the University of California, Berkeley; Chalmers J. Mackenzie, presi- (Continued on page 3) Commemorating the Great Trek of 1922, members of the classes taking part will be feted at a banquet tonight in the Brock and presented with sterling silver pins bearing the likeness of ilhe Cairn they helped build. Engineers Must Pay Show Damages Science students who snaked through the Capitol theatre two weeks ago will be required to pay the damage they caused. Management of the theatre stated Monday that students had marched over the stage, breaking several lights. Future incidents such as this might result in cancellation of all reduced admission privileges, theatre officials said. Jerry Macdonald, representing Students Council, met with Vogue theatre officials Monday to determine if Odeon theatres will extend similar privileges to students. The AMS has offered to nay for the Capitol Theatre damage but it has requested that all students concerned make good the amount through the Engineer's Undergraduate Society. Decorations Add Color, Life To 'Ugly Duckling' A decorator's magic touch will transform UBC's "ugly duckling" Armory into a romantic, colorful cabaret for the University's Fall Ball. That's the promise of Fall Ball officials who plan to combine arching AMS Passes For Husbands, Wives Married students at the UBC ca.i get their "better half" into AMS functions under privileges of the student pass system. AMS cards will be stamped in Student Council offices extending the cards to husbands or wives of married students if some proof of marriage is presented. COOKIE SHOWER DISTURBS AUGUST COUNCIL MEMBERS Disaster befell the council cookies Monday night when Bob Harwood stumbled and showered three dozen chocolate cookies in all directions during the regular session of the august campus legislators. For the first time in many years council meeting proceeded without the customary nibbling between motions. Grant Livingstone immediately called for a motion barring Harwood from serving the big plate of cookies. He received council's unanimous approval. In the future, Gordon Baum, sophomore member, will resume his customary office of "administrator of the cookie dish." colored lights, draperies and raised lounges to "dress up" the drab parade-square building. SPIT AND POLISH An army of cleaners will apply 'spit and polish" to the dusty cement floor, giving it a complete treatment of sweeping, mopping and polishing. In tlie north-west corner an elevated bandstand will face a diagonal dance floor. The lounge will also be elevated to project onto the floor from the north-east corner. Furniture from the lounge will be brought from the Brock and other students lounges on the campus. Borrowed partitioning will cut tlie lounge off from the rest of the floor. PARTITIONING Further partitioning will mark off the check-room in the south-east corner. Branching out diagonally from tlie entrance will be a counter from which refreshments will be served buffet style. Along the west wall will be another lounge. Around the dance floor will be room for tab^ where students may sit and watch the floor show. The over-all plan calls for a. complete revision of the old crepe paper methods of decorating. Flood, spot and colored gelatine lights will accentuate tlie geometric design of the rafters and diagonals of the ceiling. Drapes, instead of paper will cover the corners where lockers might protrude to spoil the effect of the cabaret.

CITY EDITOR THIS ISSUE: VAL SEARS ASSOCIATE EDITORS: LONI FRANCIS, FRANK WALDEN MERRY CHRISTMAS What has been a rumor every November within memory has finally become an actual fact. Formal Christmas exams have been officially cancelled. Evidently the method for examining students has been left to the judgment of the lecturers who shall set such exams as they see fit and when they see fit between now and the close of the session in December. The student body,; we think, greets this edict with mixed emotions, but on one point they are in solid agreement: chance or un- forewarned examinations are unsatisfactory. It is altogether likely that this plan of springing an exam without previous warning will be applied in some courses—at least one professor has already indicated as much within our knowledge. It is sometimes a little difficult to justify a stand against chance exams since any such defense is closely associated with what has been known as "cramming"—widely considered a practice to be deprecated. While it cannot be denied that this method of examination certainly precludes any possibility of cramming, there are, on the other hand, several rather concrete arguments that can be advanced in opposition to the method. It is a fact well known to psychologists, that a review of material already learned will greatly increase the ease of recall. The average student has not sufficient time to spend daily in reading over the work of the past two months in preparation for a possible exam the following day and at the same time keep up with his day to day work. What 'about a student who has a lab until 10:30 p.m. or is indulging in a little social relaxation the night before such an exam? He is certainly at a disadvantage when compared to a student who, just by chance, has reviewed the material 12 hours beforehand. On the premise that exams are intended to give, as accurately as possible, an index of what a student actually knows, we do not feel that testing by this method gives maximum satisfaction to either the students or the professors. The Children's Hour By LES BEWLEY Ahoy, my sudoriferous little submers- ibles Are we not all fellow-dolphins, cast upon the sea of life and disporting off the bows of that great iron-bottomed voyager, the good ship Time? Then let us, today, exhale the warm breath of contention from our lungs, tilt our fins, give a kick of our flippers, and sink beneath the wild, whitecapped controversies of our age- Come down, fellow-dolphin; come down to the bottle-green floor of life, from where the passage of the ship of time is but a thin shadow, slipping between the sand, the seaweed and the sun. Come down, through the froth of ephemeral change and the spume- filled roar of argument, to the sandy floor of eternity, amidst the rooted, unchanging, eternal and everlasting things of this our life. In short, let us speak of men, of women and Romance. So speaking, let us talk of the true story of Mrs. Harold Sutton, of Norfolk, Va., and the late Mr. Valentine Lawless, also of Norfolk, Va. One man and one woman, and romance will follow. Valentine Lawless. What a name, my finny ones, to conjure with! It is a name to be flung in bold, black letters against a blazing theatre marquee- It is d'Artagnan, with lace at his throat and a spreading red stain upon his shirt. It is Errol Flynn springing out of Sherwood Forest, an epee in his teeth. It is Sabatini, and galleons standing out with the tide. It is Romance. And it ia Romance in Our Time. LOVE STORY You may have read the story of Valentine Lawless, lt is one of the greatest love stories of our time. And you are lucky, for reasons which you will perhaps never know, if the story of Valentine Lawless reached your ears. For it is a shaft of sunlight, cutting through the smoke and fury of our paleo- technic Iron Age; and illuminating before your eyes the castled walls, the moats, the very turrets of romance. It is a love story, tuned to the dulcimers in the dusk of your past. Valentine Lawless was an American G-I. He was also a victim of unrequited love. Many years ago, before America entered the war and Valentine became a soldier, he fell in love with a girl. The girl married another man. It happens that way, sometimes, in life as well as books. Valentine never forgot her, though she chose to be Mrs. Harold Sutton, rather than Mrs. Valentine Lawless The years slipped away. The war came; and G.I. Lawless went overseas One day, overcome by the premonition that he "wouldn't come back" Valentine Lawless sat down and wrote a letter to his brother, expressing one last wish. In the event of his death, a fund was to be created from his estate; and that fund was to be used for this purpose: One perfect rose, Valentine Lawless willed, was to be delivered every week to the girl he loved, for as long as she should live. The name of its sender was not to be revealed. Shortly after writing this letter, Valentine Lawless was killed in battle. NO ROSE But no rose was ever delivered to the girl he loved. Valentine's sister, Margaret, claiming that his property should properly revert to his relatives, tied up the fallen warrior's estate, valued at $4000, in a court action. "It just isn't practical to use $4000 that way" Margaret said. Margaret was concerned, too, about the power of a rose. "I'm afraid maybe the arrival of a rose every Saturday night might break up her marriage," she added, speaking of Mrs. Sutton. "It seems to me it would come to no good end" And what of the girl, to whom Valentine, as his last mortal wish, had bequeathed "one perfect rose" for life? "I learned of Valentine's last wish only a few days ago" she informed questioners. "It's very sad, but he was that sort of a person." "I'm happily married now and I wouldn't want the rose." 'Thus died Sir Valentine Lawless, unhappy knight, who most unpractically passed away with his lady's name upon his lips, in the year of our Lord, A.D. 1945. He never knew, rest his soul in peace, what we know now. He never knew, when he caught his breath and died, that the love of Valentine Lawless, which neither rejection, nor the years between, nor even the cloak of Death itself could kill, was all quite slain when the girl he loved, all unthinking, raised with her words this epitaph upon his grave: "It's very sad—but he was that kind of a person." And we in our turn, Sir Knight, will never cease to marvel at the power of a rose —a small red rose that you flung beyond the reach of Death, to faU like a velvet, crimson bomb amongst the small, frightened people you left behind you; and made them tremble for the strong edifice of their marriage. O Valentine! Now you belong, not to her, but to the ages. Whoop-De-Doo! Dear Sir: It is quite obvious that the Fall Ball will be held in the parking lot. Yours sincerely, J. L. • • • Congratulations? The Editor, The Dally Ubyssey. Dear Sir: Having read a most novel wedding announcement In your "Letters to the Editor" column by Stuart Smith, I feel moved to proffer my congratulations. I hasten to add however, that I think Mr. Smith is going to prove (1.) he is capable of assuming responsibility, or (2.) eighty dollars a month is sufficient for a married veteran, or (3.) eighty dollars a month is obviously not enough for a married veteran or whatever it Is that Mr. Smith proposes to prove by getting married at Christmas. Further, Mr. Smith is to be congratulated for saving $500 last summer. Somebody should tell Mr. Smith the facts of life, but seeing he is getting married he will probably And them out for himself. He will find that on accepting congratulations for getting married he must forego all future congratulations for saving |500 by working during a summer. He will find that even If he goes out of town in order to accept a relatively high paid job and thus forego the pleasures of city life and the company of his wife, he will not be able to save anything at all. If Mr. Smith were to be congratulated in future, as so many of his fellow student vets have been in the past, on an addition to the family, he would find that no matter what job he worked at in the summer he would have to find |30 to $50 a month in addition to his DVA allowance in order to provide even the most meagre living for his family. But enough of this crepe-hanging. Mr. Smith is to be congratulated that the student vets with whom he comes in contact are so heartily satisfied with the financial aspects of life that he is not faced with the gloomy consciousness that his associates have sordid money troubles. I would like however to correct a couple of points in Mr. Smith's letter that might cause some misconceptions. First the legion executive whom, I agree, are experienced, did press the Dominion government for an increase in grants and desisted from further pressure for a number of reasons, none of which was that the veterans were satisfied. Second, the majority of students on the campus seem to have come here to obtain an education and despite Mr. Smith's assertion that they come to "arrive at financial stability and security" these students seem aware that an extremely high percentage of them are not going to improve their financial position above that of a skilled worker. Witness the large number taking teachers training. On the whole, Mr. Smith is to be congratulated, he is so satisfied.

English Accent The Editor, The Daily Ubyssey Dear Sir: Since emigrating to Canada seven months ago I have never been able to find out why so many Canadians, especially noticeable at UBC, insist on acquiring some sort of an English accent. Is there something to be ashamed of in the Canadian accent that so many try their best to lose it? Surely these miserable attempts at a pseudo-Oxford accent by certain classes at UBC must be as irritating to the average Canadian as they are to anyone out here from England. To have spent several war years in England is no excuse for acquiring a false accent—there must be almost a thousand veterans at UBC who have spent years in England but who have not found it necessary to come back to Canada with a new accent. What is wrong with speaking like a Canadian? What do Ubyssey readers think? "Mancunian" • • • Vocal Support The Editor, The Daily Ubyssey, University of British Columbia Dear Sir: Right now I am listening to the UBC-Whitman football game, and I am impressed by the woeful lack of vocal support given to either team. I have read in your paper of your attempts to foster a greater interest in this psychological necessity to a good game, and while I am entirely in favour of it, I find that I do not know one single UBC yell! The point is not to direct the finger of scorn at my unacademic ignorance, but to serve as an indication that there must be many more like me. Then, may I suggest that responsible people in that section of the student body which has to do with this sort of thing, obtain official permission for one week to visit the larger classrooms on the campus for the express purpose of leading those assembled for lectures in the various varsity yells, if only for a period of two to three minutes at the beginning of the lecture. As an aid, one yell could be placed in each large lecture room, on the board, and left for the period of a week. Sure, I know the yells are in the different publications but let's have a little practice, and a little fun, and at the same time build up a little of that old school spirit which is so evident in its absence. Yellfully yours, O .K. TUUMEST Where's Is? Dear Sir: You Sir have committed an unpardonable crime! In your editorial of October 24, you have not only given us an incomplete sentence, but you have left us in suspence as to what sage comment you might have made. My weekend was ruined. In all probability thousands of other students had their weekends ruined too. What tragedy! All those tormented students, vainly trying to decide what you meant—or had intended to mean. This is a grave matter indeed. What retribution will you make for this blunder? Are there not enough things now to torture us—football games, political clubs, fall bails, student's council, women, letters to the editor, etc? Must you add to our plight the mental strain of attempting to read your thoughts—when you haven't got any? I have a hard enough time reading my own thoughts, let alone those of someone else. What is this miserable sentence? I quote, "Their contention that the drill hall, given soft lights, tables, professional caterers, and several hundred pounds of powdered borax, might perfectly satisfy." See what I mean . . . Yours truly, BUI McKay ED.

The Editor, The Daily Ubyssey Dear Sir: Mr. Smith, in characterizing request for an increase in grants as a demand for "something for nothing," overlooks the fact that an increase now of 20 percent would just about cover the drop In the real value of money since the date the grants were set at $60 and $80. The government has, in effect, cut our grants in the process of releasing price controls and subsidies. Surely a demand for a cost-of-living bonus, as adopted earlier this year by the National Conference of Student Veterans and the Canadian Legion, is not unreasonable. Yours truly, Jack Howard.

HALPERN LECTURES ON CLASSICS The personal charm of a widely travelled doctor of music, Ida Halpern, adds much to the attractiveness of the course she teaches. Doctor Halpern, noted authority on music, is giving a course on modern music appreciation for the Extension Department at Vancouver Normal School every Thursday evening. Modem music ranging from Chopin to Shostokovich is explained by Dr. Halpern who feels that "if people would make a point of listening to modern music without prejudices they would soon get used to it and begin to like it." Dr. Halpern was born in Vienna and received her doctorate at Vienna University. After spending half a year under Hitler's regime in Austria she and her husband decided to leave Austria on a "vacation" and not return. OUT-IN However lt was almost like "out oi the fat into the Are" when Dr. Halpern joined the staff at the University of Shanghai in 1938. It had just moved to the International Settlement to be 50 STUDENTS protected from the Japanese. About M ^dents are enrolled in Dr. Halpern's present course. Dr. Halpern suggests room for improvement in the university record library since there are not enough complete scores to go with the records. "Students should become more conscious of score-reading, she adds. During summer session Dr. Halpern gave a course linking art to music in the different cultural periods. CBC Offers Show Time UBC Gets WURF Chair UBC has taken over the chairmanship of the Western Universities Radio Federation. Ernie Perrault, president of the University Radio Society, back from the WURF conference in Saskatoon reports major advances in inter-university radio. Chief among these is an inter- campus news service operated by the "Hams" of each 0 fthe four western universities. Originated by the UBC Amateur Radio Club, the idea was presented to the Conference by Perrault. University news will be transmitted by the "Hams" each evening, at a time to be arranged, and will be distributed according to the facilities of the member groups. UBC will be the central body for a script filing and exchange service. All plays presented on each of the member campuses will be filed and will be available for speedy inter- university exchange. The fact that her hesitant Enj was more appreciated by her Chinese students than that of the English or American professors greatly amused Dr. Halpern. From Shanghai, Dr. Halpern came to Vancouver where she has taught for the University Extension Department since 1942. Webb Addresses EIC Meeting "Columbia Basin Water Resources in Canada" will be the subject of an address by C. E. Webb, district chief engineer, Dominion Water and Power Bureau, to the Engineering Institute of Canada. The Branch will meet on Wednesday, October 29 at 8:00 p.m. in Salon "B" Hotel Vancouver. At the present time the Executive is completing plans for the Annual Meeting which will be held Saturday, November 22, 1947. A trans-Canada network show, a half hour every week for eight weeks has been offered by CBC for the use of WURF. Two types of program idea for this series has been submitted for approval by the conference. One type, using four weeks of the series would provide a variety introduction to each campus featuring choral groups, actors, instrumentalists and script writers from those universities. The other type planned is a quiz show making use of both professors and students. FINAL WEEK FOR ARTS TOTEM PIX Tills is the last week for all students in arts, home economics, commerce and physical education to get their Totem photos. The photographer, J. C. Walberer, announced that starting next week all applied science would be in line for their photos. The photographer also stated that the finished photographs which are included in the $1.50 fee would be on the campus before Christmas. Most graduates in Arts are taking advantage of the special proof arrangement worked out this year by the Totem and Mr. Walberer. Under this set-up, graduates only may see proofs of their sittings for an extra charge of 50 cents. A newsletter, to be the official organ of the Federation will go to press next week. It will contain news of campus radio and articles on broadcasting.

PAGE 4 THE DAILY UBYSSEY Wednesday, October 29, 1941 LAURIE DYER, Acting Sports Editor REPORTERS THIS ISSUE—Gil Gray, Bruce Saunders, Jack Melville, Shiela THE BLARNEY, . . . ACCORDING TO HAL MURPHY PUCK CHASER'S FANFARE Last night we were looking through the morgue (our collection of past issues) and we discovered some interesting slants on UBC hockey teams. We went back to 1934 and found a report of a reborn UBC squad in full swing. Although classed at that time as a minor sport, games were played against the University of Washington and several other American outfits- In spite of initial losses the sport was apparently well supported. Four years later, in 1938, we found that inter-collegiate hockey had come into its own. The season was opened with a memorable tour of Southern California where the Thunderbirds suffered two narrow defeats at the hands of the University of Southern California. The score of one of these games was as familiar as last Saturday's grid classic—7-6. Subsequently the team defeated the University of Washington 6-0 and 2-1 but suffered a couple of losses at the hands of Gonzaga University. The coaches of that memorable team were John Owen and Maurice Van Vliet. Just before the war we ran across another UBC hockey crew that participated in the Vancouver Senior Hockey and besides took on the Washington Huskies for a couple of wins. From The Faceoff Why did we go to all this trouble? Well it seems that UBC once more has a fighting hockey squad. Forgotten by the fans because the games are never on the campus, but not forgotten by hockey enthusiasts, the Blue and Gold puck chasers open tonight in their* first game of the season. Participating this year in the British Columbia senior B League the hockeyists are playing in a high class league and former air force coach Frank Frederickson has a high class student lineup. The players and their former teams are impressive. Varsity teammates who played last year include Stu Johnstone, formerly of the Copper Cliff Redmen, Fred Andrews, RCAF overseas squad, and Hugh Berry, Moose Jaw Canucks. Having gained experience on teams all over the continent there is plenty of puck savy among the team. Former teams include Los Angeles Ramblers and Kansas City Pla-Mors for Harrison Young; Calgary and Nanaimo for Wag Wagner; Trail and Halifax Navy for Ken McLean. That is just a few of the names on the starry lineup. At The Blue Line What is this Senior B League anyway? Well it's a bit more than a city loop although it includes Vancouver White.Spots, Woodward Beacons, B.C. Electric White Hawks, Fletcher Locksmiths and Vancouver Indians. From New Westminster come the Cubs and from Nanaimo the famous Clippers. Varsity makes the total of teams come to eight. It looks to us like a pretty fair setup. Overtime Tonight This is an auspicious moment for Hockey on the campus— in spite of the transportation trouble- Sport in general has been taking quite a beating from several sides at once—English Rugger doesn't get much of a campus support; soccer gets practically no fanfare at all; grass hockey doesn't interest many people; and the only sport that really interests the campus spectators is the ill-favored grid. An auspicious moment for Ice Hockey indeed, for with a powerful team, and nine thousand supporters, the Blue and Gold icemen have every likelihood of going places. Join us at the Forum tonight for the opening twin bill of the season. Vajda Ski Squad Preps For Jump What with the first sign of snow on the local hills, Ski Coach Peter Vajda is rapidly getting his stalwarts into top physical shape, mainly through daily cross-country runs, Starting this Thursday noon in Arts 105, Coach Vajda plans to start dry skiing technique classes, in preparation for the first heavy snow fall. It is requested that all prospective members of the ski team turn out to this Thursday meeting, Also, plans call for a jumping school to be held at Mt, Baker or Stevens Pass early next month under a top American jumping official.

GUARING THE 'BIRD NEST—When the Thunderbirds of UBC take on the Grads at Saturday's Homecoming fracas, "Bouncin' Bobby" Scarr will be filling one of the guard slots on the 'Bird roster. Bob will be filling the shoes formerly oc :upied by the diminutive and popular captain of last year's squad, Ron Weber. Now a grad, Ron may be in strip against his former teammates in the Saturday tilt. Oregon Web foot Hoopmen Invade Campus For November Hoop Card By LAURIE DYER In what may well be their initial inter-collegiate fracas of the year, the basketballing Thunderbirds will meet the Webfeet of the University of Oregon on the campus maples in a two-game series scheduled for November 28, 29. Plans are under way at the present moment to bring UBC and Western Washington together before the Oregon series, but nothing definite has been secured as yet. The yearly series against the Ore gon quintet has become a matter of standard procedure over the last four years. It was back in the fall of '44 that the Webfeet first invaded the campus. In that series, they defeated the Van Vliet-coached 'Birds by four points in each of the two games. In the fall of '45, the year that UBC took the Conference title, the two squads played a home and home series. Coach Osborne had the reigns that year as the Blue and Gold men lost their two on the home maples but won the twin bill on the Eugene campus. Last year, it was the 'Birds turn to travel but this time they lost their two game series on the Oregon floors. The Webfeet will be playing under a new coach this year since Howard "Hobby" Hobson has gone to Yale to accept another post. He has been succeeded by "Honest John" Warren, a popular figure on the Eugene Campus for many years. He will be remembered as temporary coach of the Oregon squad when first they played here in 1944. He has now taken over as head coach. The University of Oregon team is a member of the Pacific Coast Conference, a step above, the North West Conference in which the 'Birds are entered. Bird Hoopmen Battle Gradr There's an old saying to the effect that "Time marches on" . . . but time is going to do an about face next Saturday night when a team of Varsity hoopla greats of yesteryear will meet the modern version of Thunderbird casaba artists. The contest will be a part of the large program planned for Homecoming on the campus. IMPRESSIVE LIST Hunk Henderson who is charge of the grad squad has listed an impressive roster for the contest. He mentions such stars of the past as Ken Wright, Dick Wright, Ole Bakken, Sandy Robertson, Ron Weber, Harry Franklin, Bud McLeod, Gordie Sykes and possibilities of Ritchie Nicol and Reg Clarkson turning out. Among the others who have decided to come "back to life" are Jimmy Bardsley, Bud Matheson, and Hunk Henderson himself. Bardsley and Henderson were both on the "Wonder team" that came up with the Dominion Championship way back in 1937. "TONY" INVITED High scorer in the Inter-city finals that year against Varsity was a young man who was playing under the colours of the Province team. That man, a graduate of 1931, will be asked to join the Grad roster also. He is the well-known Director of Athletics on the campus, Bob "Tony" Osborne. One of the more recent grads is Bud Matheson, who played on the championship team of 1941, when the Blue and Gold went on to take their third Dominion Championship. The present 'Bird quintet will be out to defend the laurels they won for themselves last year, when they ranked second. Every man on last years squad will be in action with the exception of Ron Weber who graduated last spring. Varsity Turfmen Blank Vancouver Two shut-outs, one a major defeat, one a closely fought game, were among the results of the week-end grass hockey games. Both of these shut-outs, Varsity's 7-0 blanking of Vancouver A and East-India's 3-0 upset of the UBC team, were surprises. Only two shots were fired at the Varsity goal throughout the entire game. Forward Les Bullen capitalized on position playing to gather in four passes and go on to score four goals. Ned Larsen, Dave Pudney, and Bruce E'enham rattled in one apiece. At Brockton Point, the East-India eleven took advantage of the slow start of the UBC squad, capitalizing on a slippery field that made play difficult and awkward. In another game, between Vancouver B and the Faculty, the Faculty took a 4-3 win. The University "Oldsters" ran up an early lead and hung on grimly for the remainder of the game. Warren, Thompson, and Buckley combined in the goal-getting.
