'VT--;Yi.L" THE UBYSSEY volume xxxvin VANCOUVER, B.C. TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1955 Price 5c No. 63 ANOTHER MEETING WEDNESDAY Students Veto Second Pool SPECIAL REPORT Self Help Plan Aids—But Justly? By RAY LOGIE More than 200 UBC students are working under this university's "self help program." "Self help," initiated to utilize students for part time campus jobs, thus helping them financially, is financed by University mantenance funds. * The number of students hired yearly and the wages paid, are largely determined by the money Administration allots for self help. Food Services employ the greatest number of students, usually acommodating 90 student workers. Next comes the library with 50, and Building and Grounds with 26. Students helping in the Food Services are paid 70 cents an hour plus a 10 cent allotment for meals. This wage scale strikes a mean between the 60 cent downtown non-union wage, and the 90 cent union wage. The maximum any self help student can work is 10 hours a week. But the disadvantage of UBC's self help program is the lack of protection afforded the student. If asked to work under poor conditions or overly- long hours, the worker has no redress. His only agency of redress is the self help office itself, vftittfflr,- ih Hi own admission, is more likely to fire the agitator and hire one of the 200 self help applicants that annually cannot be acommodated. The student's immediate superior sends a report to self help on his workers' conduct. "If it is unsatisfactory, he will not be re-hired next year," according to a self help administrator. Students never see the reports and many are ignorant of their existence. Bursary students are automatically sent self help application forms at the beginning of each year. Complaints are few according to self help administrators—but the treatment of complainers may have something to do with that. Last summer at least one student was fired for no stated reason, from Buildings and Grounds employment. On threatening to see the Labor Relations Board, he was told by officials that if he did so, he would never be hired by the university again. Unfortunately he needs self help money to see him through the year. Students employed by Buildings and Grounds, like the full-time employees work below union wages. However, there does not seem to be any attempt by unions to organize campus labor. The $19,000 spent annually by UBC on assistantships is spread as thin as possible. Graduate students on assistantships are handled by the individual department officials. Their working conditions are largely determined by their department head; usually on a personal basis. Self help students before being hired must sign a form pledging cooperation with their employers. Cooperation means giving adequate notice before quitting; or more precisely not quitting at all. If a student does resign suddenly without an ironclad excuse, he is not likely to benefit from self help again. Outside jobs procured for students are mostly of a part-time nature and indeed, are almost non-existent. Still, the lack of protection afforded UBC self help students, is a serious disadvantage in the program. Admittedly, the university is helping the student; but who is to control the possible unjust whims of full- time campus "straw bosses'".' Council Accused Of 'Railroading Tactics' Students defeated Council's two point swimming pool proposal at the Fall General AMS Meeting Friday but will have to return Wednesday to deal with the proposed Constitutional Amendments and USC veto demands. HERE STANDS Public Relations Officer Daniel Goldsmith, who argued valiantly in favor of building a second pool at the General Meeting. His eloquence was in vain as students defeated the motion 673-588. No General Meeting Held Without Quorum Student Council president Ron Bray stated emphatically Monday night that without a quorum he will not hold a general _ meeting on Wednesday. Students Vote $3000 To Rowers I Bray said. "To finish the business we must have a quorum and without one I will not convene the meeting." He went on to point out that since this is a special meeting any additions to the agenda must be presented in a petition with UBC students .anxious to prove' 100 signatures. "These petitions must be in by 4 p.m. Tuesday, he said. themselves united on some front, became intensely sport conscious for a few seconds, when they unanimously voted $3000 of the AMS surplus to aid the | faee"thTS"mee'ttnK are rowing team to Henley. ISSUES The six important issues which Even new council president, i Ron Bray was caught up in the [ enthusiasm. As soon as the resounding "Ayes" to the motion j had sounded in the armoury, he j crashed his gavel on the ledum : and declared the motion carried. | Then correcting himself, he asked tor thc "Nays." Only a cough and a scraped chair answered him. USC Asks Blood Drive Committee Tiie Undergraduate Societies Committee voted at noon on Monday lo recommend that next year's blood drive be run by a committee composed of a chairman from the Society sponsor- big the drive, and members from each of the other faculties. Previously Ihe drives have been sponsored entirely by members of one faculty, tinder the new system Ihe work will be done largely by the members of ihe Chairman's, faculty while other committee members will assist in adminislralion and publicity. Sponsors I'oi the I ()'>,"> fall blood drive will be Nurses and F.ngineers. To give the Undergraduate Societies power to veto Student Council decisions. Allow a referendum to provide a $2 fee increase which would go to thc Men's Athletic Association in return for free athletic cards for all students. Rejoin the National Federa- toin of Canadian University Students at a cost of 50 cents per student. LOWER QUORUM Abolish fall general meetings and lower the quorum for spring meetings to 10 percent of the enrollment. Raise the number of signatures needed lo petition for a special 'general meeting from 100 to 500. Reorganize Student Court, re ducing tht; responsibilities of USC's Investigating Committee. This meeting will not be a continuation of Friday's General Meeting. The cost of thi.s second meeting will be $175 to cover healing and chairs and this mil si be pa ifi for. even if there is im (|uorum ami thus no meeting. The proposals concerning Student Court and the fall meetings are expected lo reeieve strong opposition from USC. Men's Athletic Representative Bob Hutchison stressed the fact j thai the athletic privilege cards would be provided to all students a! no extra cos! if I lie fee raise is approved. Before being caught with its quorum down, the meeting disposed of the contentious pool oroblem. decided on two sec- ions of Constitutional amend- nents, awarded UBC's Rowing -rew $3000, and approved the ^MS discrimination committee's report. Council's pool proposal plan- led to give $100,000 to the'Ad- ninistration for the construction if, "a second swimming pool," ^ius removing the pool under- aking .from student hands. OPPOSITION Immediate opposition by students was evident. Howard Morrison, Arts 4, called council's plan "short-sighted" and asked he student body to think of UBC's "potential expansion" j ind future need of a large roof-1 ^d pool. I Council gave as their reasons | or the proposal: capital costs.: naintenance expenses and rev-' 3nue. They also said letters from swim coaches, civic officials, architects and constructors advocated a second pool. PRO IN DEFENSE PRO Danny Goldsmith defended the proposal by describing the second pool as "standard size" rather than "small." When the vote was called, Morrison leaped to the microphone protesting against "railroading" tactics. Debate continued with Ken O'Shea, Commerce 4, pointing out that there, to date, had been no complete cost estimate. A vote was taken but the results stood only 30 votes difference with the negative holding ihe slim majority. $ REFERENDUM A motion was then advanced to put the question to a student body referendum but this plan was defeated. Then the meeting was divided into two groups—pro and con. Tha "Ayes" sitting on one side of the Armory, and the "Nays" on the other. Council's motion was defeated 673-588. Of the constitutional revisions proposed by council, the "A Group" changes were passed in their entirety with no discussion whatsoever. DISCRIMINATION Thc report of the AMS fraternity ' discrimination committee •was accepted with little discussion. Read by USC Chairman Jim j Killeen,-the report compliment- i v.'d IFC for its 'sincere ap- j proach" to discrimination. | This was evidenced by IFC's own discrimination committet report, Killeen said.

Phooey on Pools! Editor, The Ubyssey: I cannot understand all this about swimming pools lately. The only hard headed, business like, practical solution to spending all that spare money would be to build a beer parlor with atmosphere on the campus. I am convinced that business would boom profits would soar, and, most important, students would have a successful Incentive to stay away from the evil Influences of the thug city. Swimming pools be damned. Start the campaign off with a bang under the slogan: "Bigger and Better Beer Parlors For UBC." 3rd Year Imbiber General Meetings m..n™ m.-. m«» What happened at Eriday's general meeting .was a pity to behold. Apathy, that phantom enemy of student politics, was banished as nearly 150 students crowded the armory for the AMS meeting. • But with only one-quarter of the meeting's business settled, the quorum was challenged and president-elect Ron Bray took one look at the students still in the armory and * adjourned the meeting. Only 600-odd students had remained after the pool decision was finally reached at 2:40 p.m. Most of those who left early were required to attend labs and lectures. But those who were without such commitments could hardly be blamed. Tbe meeting had taken two hours to settle only one issue—however important it was. With simething like eight considerations remaining, the meeting showed evry promise of continuing until 9 or 10 p.m. Obviously, it is time to reform our general meetings. This does not meen eliminating them, as Student Council has foolishly suggested. Apart from their necessity for democratic student government at UBC, general meetings— at, least one per year—are required by the Societies Act, which governs the Alma Mater Society. And in view of the crowded agenda at Friday's meeting, it would be plain folly to hold only one meeting per session. The avenues of reform lie in two main directions. General meetings -must first of all be provided with equal amounts of business, and secondly, they must be speeded up". Student Council should see that more decisions are ready for student consideration in the fall, instead of letting them slide until the spring. It is hard to understand the Student Council of this session, which has fatuously labelled fall meetings as useless and urged their repeal, while at the same time permitting the spring meetings to become lamentably overloaded with business. The idea of speeding up general meetings is admittedly an old one. But Student Council this session could have done a much greater service to students if it had spent more time trying to carry out this reform instead of speaking of general meetings only in terms of contempt. Time allowed each speaker should be limited; the chalr- amn should be more familiar with Robert's Rules of Order and a good deal more vigilant; an improved and speedier means of counting votes should be devised. These are only some of the measures which should be adopted. Others must also be found. At the same time, Student Council should try to persuade the administration to cancel all afternoon lectures and labs on the day of an AMS meeting. It is certain something must be done to improve our general meetings. Considering the serious decisions placed before Friday's meeting, it can be seen that our general meetings are too vital to student government to be allowed to remain clumsy, verbose and disorganized. Aye! UBC students, from the highest council official to the most ordinary of students, went intensely sport conscious for a few seconds at Friday's abbreviated general meeting. With the long haggle over the pool question resolved, and new council president Ron Bray in the chair, the question of giving $.'1000 of the AMS surplus to the rowers for their proposed Henley trip was brought up. No debaters stepped forth to argue pro or con. Bray immediately put the question. The 1000 odd students left after the pool walkout, perhaps eager to sound united about something, roared a unanimous "Aye." Bray slammed down the gavel. "I declare the motion carried," he said. Then caught himself. "Are there any 'nays"?" he asked sheepishly. Only a cough and a scraping of leel answered him. It. was somewhat ol a tribute. Editor, The Ubyssey: If Pres. MacKenzie desires to have the respect and sympathy of the public, he would be well advised to assemble the student body and give them a talk on courtesy and manners, for how far does a man — or woman — go in the bus- everywhere that's merry iness and professional world without these two essential qualities. All the knowledge and learning in the world do not get one far without them, for they are to life what oil ia to machine. II is disgusting to sec a great hulk of a male student with brief case lu his arms sitting on a west-bound 4th Avenue bus, in all likelihood bound for UBC, remain sitting while men and women — seme times elderly — remain standing close "by. Every year now students of the engineering school stage a party in January. College students have played pranks from time immemorial, but when it comes to obstructing the police and damaging property, for which other students have to foot the bill, then there is nothing amusing about it. Some of us consider Pres- MacKenzie would have been well advised to expel one or two of the leaders to create a precedent and show that there Is a limit. D.S.A. 3717 West 17th by Ken Lamb Despite the onset of modernizing forces, the over-abundance application of science to love (or sex — which might be the same thing), and the invention of Bermuda shorts, one can still find traces of that fine old Victorian retirement in the matter of things biological. I found it the other day, under somewhat uncomfortable circumstances, in one of Vancouver's larger department stores. At the time, I was not inclined to consider my discovery one of retirement as much as damned inconvenience. But on reflection, I found I had to admire the emporium for its show of taste in a delicate matter. It all happened as I was muddling along, looking at miscoloured ties, odd jewelry, and $2 nylons on for a $1.49. There I was, admiring this merchandise, when an in- assurageable urge came upon me. But where to go? It was at that moment that Victorian- ism, waving its Prince Albert madly, made its triumphant entrance in the person of a clerk. I blandly asked this clerk where the men's washroom was. An arm flung itself out in the general direction of nowhere, a voice gasped "over there, sir," and the clerk beat a retreat down the aisle. Well trained though, one must admit. The management certainly frowns upon its feminine help talking with strange men. However, I still had not the information I sought. So I looked for a directory. Now in most department stores these are nailed, in large and readable size, to every pillar, every post, every wall, and even to the backs of floorwalkers. (Efficiency experts' ideas). But that is not the case here. After a diligent survey of the first three floors, with little success I came upon one of these things discreetly hidden behind a hanging of living rbom draperies (direct from the looms of Scotland — $8.50 per yard). The sales clerk did her best to hide it from me, even going to the length of concealing it within the drapery — and running off with it to the department store manager. But I caught her, and after explaining to thc manager that just because I was hopping up and down did not mean what she thought but only tha,t I was looking for goldfish meal, I succeeded in being allowed to look at the directory. Ah Ha, There it was! "Washrooms, men — second, fourth and sixth floors." Then my reperter-trained eye caught the word "women," whereupon I discovered their washrooms were on alternate floors. You did leave your blot, didn't you Queen V? Thus another blow was struck for segregation (not to be confused with discrimination). But knowledge in hand, I sallied forth into the rug hung environments of floor four to find the real pause that refreshes. But Victoria had only begun to fight. A careful circumnavigation of four walls, two trips in the elevator, and a misadventure involving thc broom closet, finally brought me to a dimly lit corridor. There on thc wall around the corner, in small letters, dwarfed by a sign informant of the fact that the employment manager was on the door to thc left, was a sign. On it were those immortal three letters •■— M-E-N. With a sigh of relief I dashed around two corners, up a flight of steps, and into an ancient and inadequate washroom. It was a hard fight to only find a quiet place in which to wash one's hands. And that too, only goes to show Victoria is still with us. CLASSIFIED A Sour Not* Editor. The Ubyssey: Congratulations should go to the Open House Committee and all those who made Open House day such a big success. As a public relations job I think it went over big. As far as I could see, there was only one sour note to the Whole affair. I consider that sour note some of the articles which appeared in The Ubyssey of March 5. These articles brought anything but credit to the University, I refer to such articles as "Sin skulks in corners," Learning means lectures" and "Campus magazine sales" which do anything but foster good public relations. These articles are more like something you would expect to rea 3 in some scandal sheet rather than a University publication. When will people realize that there is more in life than gambling, drinking and carrousing in general. The writers of these articles think they are so smart to be able to elaborate and revel in vices which persists. So they blow them up lo the skies to try and make out to the public how "tough" we university students really are. How childish! I thought we left that kind of "stuff" behind us in high school. Unsigned Misconception Ended Editor, The Ubyssey: After reading Mr. Logie's "It's Like This" in the last issue of the Ubyssey, I realized that I had been doing him a great injustice and would like to apollgize now. Before that article appeared I believed that Mr. Logie had no idea that the C.C.F., the Liberals, the Tories and the Socreds existed as clubs on this campus. Mr. Logie's "It's Like This' corrected my misconception and I thank him for it. William Marchak, Commerce 2. Roof Empire Pool Editor. The Ubyssey. 1 believe the University Administration through its shortsighted penny-pinching (over- looking B.C.'s resource status as a. magnet to business expansion and thereby tremendously increased UBC population) has side-stepped its obligation to roof Empire Pool. Let mc quote from a Vancouver Sun editorial, Jan 28, 1.955, it was "repeatedly said when BEG funds were being raised that the pool would be roofed for year round use by the public and UBC after the Games. This was part of the understanding when it was built on the campus" . . . "UBC would roof it when money was availabie. I wish to slate that the University Administration does have funds available. However, in presenting its argument for a second pool il concentrated solely on current cash and neglected its status as an educational institution in this Province. The present B.C. Government lias instituted a system of aiding school construction by guaranteeing • municipal school board bonds in the case of default. This scheme has rendered very low interest charges on borrowing by school boards. Our UBC Administration like a school board is entitled to such a guarantee on an Empire Pool bond issue. Thc roofed pool is not a luxury, as some would have us believe, but a planned portion of our Memorial Gym construction — especially in lieu of UBC's obligation to fulfill the BEG-UBC agreement.

Drama Festival Tuesday with their interpretation of Schweitzer Versatile' Says Rose War will always be with us, and peace does not mean sitting quietly on your butt for ever more, said Dr. W. J. Rose, quoting Albert Schweitzer in a lecture yesterday in Arts 100. Dr. Rose revealed that Schweitzer was motivated by t. "magnificent obsession." Hi could have been a great musi clan, a great teacher of theology or philosophy, but instead at the age of 30, he took up medicine to devote his life tt repaying the debt of the Europeans to the African negro. ' Schweitzer, who came from the border province of Alsace, was above mere nationality. "He belongs to humanity," asserted Rose. Rose, who knew Schweitzer personally, once asked him the difference between the Alsatians and the Germans, across the Rhine. Schweitzer replied that the. difference is that here they stuff their Xmas goose with apples and there they stuff it with chestnuts'. West Point vs. UBC Debaters West Point Cadets will debate with a UBC team in Arts 100 on Friday, March 25 at noon on "Our Security policy with regard to Europe."

The 1954-55 fiscal year began with a surplus of $6,000, and has steadily increased to a possible $10,000 by the end of this year. A loan of $13,000 made by the students in 1951 for the construction of the War Memorial Gymnasium is gradually be.ing paid back to the AMS through the five-dollar student fee. A plan for a grant of $3,000 to send UBC Rowing Crew to the Henley Regatta will be presented to the students for debate at the AMS General Meeting March 18. ANTICIPATING the full joy of the warm day that Xisually blows in with the first day of spring, two campus followers of Diana flexed their various attributes and prepared to greet the rosy dawn. Unfortunately, the dawn was there, and it may hav* been rosy, but all that was hidden behind the fog mtii snow.

BIRDS .BEES BURIED Spring Sprang S'prisingly Anticipations of the coming of spring were Jolted into wistful oblivion Monday morning when the Evergreen Playground awoke to a blanket of slush. Supposedly the time of year when Mother Earth takes on new beauty and birdies have a field day with tiie bees, our "first day of spring'.' resembled more of a chlnook in Aklavik. The effect of the weather on UBC students was far from inspiring. A few of the more daring outdoor-loving souls rushed headlong into the snowbanks for a brisk game of cricket before lunch. Springtime is Outdoor Time Be Dressed for the occasion in a smart Windbreaker from HBC! The overall reaction was one of gloom as disappointed students sloshed to class with dainty little sandbags strapped to their sodden feet. The appearance of a .row- boat on the main mall did little to bolster the depression.

RUGGER Weekend Sees Tie Two Wins Saturday the Carmichael Cup rugger resulted in two wins and a tie for UBC teams. Braves shut-out Ex-P.W. 9-0; Blurbs squashed Meralomas 16-6; and Tomohawks drew with Ex-Brits 3-3, * goal, while John "Boot" Legge and Mad Anthony scored tries. Sinclair in particular, showed up well as his quick reactions and fast thinking gave him a jump on the opposition. Braves had a rough time of the first half of their game ag- against Prince of Wales. Their vaunted three line attack misfired, and the P.W.'s broke up their every effort. Even their master field-general, John Mulberry, was unable to organize an effective thrust. Several times he spearheaded attacks to "beat these guys!" but every time the 'guys' beat him. Finally General John wrenched an ankle and was packed off without a whimper or sob. In the second half the powerful Braves slipped into gear. Gary Sinclair booted a penalty Varsity Defeats Legion BIRDS 6-LEGION 3 By NEIL MACDONALD Varsity's soccer birds were flying high over the weekend when they dumped the V & D league's Richmond Legion 6 to 3 before the sweeping television eye of CBUT. The win moves Varsity up in the Provincial Cup playdowns to face North Shore United of the Pacific Coast League's A division. The North Shore crew were overcoming Firefighters 2 to 1 in the Royal City. They will be the toughest team Varsity will meet this year. AGAINST WIND Against the wind, Varsity were down 2 to 0 at the half to the hard-hitting Richmond soccer club. In the second half, Vtr- sity's Birds took off and rolled up five fast goals. Leading the scorers were newcomer George Jack and centre Somerled Macdonald with two apiece. Steady Bruce Ashdown scored his usual goal and big Dick Matthews camf through with another. SHOWED WELL Husky George Jack, a fast and dangerous man in front of the net showed well for thc Birds, With two goals he graduated to recieve his wings and join the advance bomber squadron of Bruce Ashdown and Somerled Macdonald. IF? If Varsity can continue to score in their next game against North Shore they should give the North Van boys plenty of trouble. This week showed a vast improvement m the forward line, especially in the second halt. SUMMING UP The course of the match could be summed up by saying UBC ran the ball, and Ex-P.W. kicked it. At every opportunity the opposition booted the ball, and kept the Braves at bay most of the game. Meanwhile the Blurbs were having an easier time of it, crumbling Meralomas 16-6. Blurbs make all the mistakes in the book, and do little, according to Hoyle — except win. They have not lost since their first match of the season, and even that was a 6-3 sneaker. BOWL OVER Coryell's bunch of athletes simply bowl over their rivals with strength and speed. Their American football knowledge makes them savage tacklers and bullish plungers. Often, instead of passing and running around the opposition, they tuck the ball in and run either through or over the foe. Meralomas scored a penalty kick first, but Blurbs roared back. Oscar Kreutziger scored two tries and Ron Stewart one. Bob Weinburg's two conversions gave Blurbs a 13-8 cushion at the half. The game was never in doubt. REAL TEST A Brave-Blurb clash would be a real test for both teams. There is no doubt that Braves are a far more skilled group of mechanics, but whether they can hold off the power of the Blurbs is the question. It would be a good game. Tommies, in drawing with Ex- Brit 3-3, kept a fair record intact. Although they have lost to Braves and Blurbs, they are still a pretty fair team. Every other outfit has fallen before the two big winners also. By city standards Tommies are well up in the first division. This Thursday is another Oxford-Cambridge game. An all- star UBC team will be fielded. Also the English will have captain Ian Beer in strip for this one. He has just arrived from representing England in an international match. The tourists defeated Victoria 21-8 Saturday, on thc Island.

Named to the all star five were Grozier and McComb of Tech, Vernon of Gladstone, Nicol of West Van and Tanton of the second place Alberni team.

FAIRLY EVEN Entries are fairly even in all fields and it is difficult to predict who will come out on top. The adverse weather conditions, it' it rains again, could provide a factor for some upsets.

Ready For Season's First By PETE WORTHINGTON Spring, such as it is, has arrived for the UBC Rowing Club. Their competitive season commences at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 26 in placid Coal Harbour when they race University of Washington lightweights. UBC lost by three seconds to* Washington last fall.

I Foster Hewitt will not be j broadcasting their contest with Russia. UP HERE And then again the race is up here. Beautiful Coal Harbour is the sight, while last time it was on the U. of W. waters. The conditions of Coal Harbour will probably puzzle the Washington- ians; they even puzzle Vancou- verites. Flotsam (jetsom-), blizzards, squalls, fogs, tugs, and other unmentionable items are often encountered by the rowers in the Harbour. Varsity crewmen are used to such delicacies; the Am- erks are unlikely to be. TAKE YOUR PICK Therefore odds for the Saturday clash hover around the "6-to-5. "take-your-pick" mask. It will be an exciting match, as Washington is one of USA's foremost rowing universities. Spectators can view the race from either the Vancouver Rowing Club's premises, or the Stanley Park causeway. The race will be over in plenty of time to see the Ox-Cam vs Vancouver rugby game. Also it will likely be the only opportunity to see Canada's successors to the Penticton Vs, prior TO START The team, coached by mild Frank Read and Johnny Warren, and managed by Don Laishley of fair Acadia Camp, is made up of the following persons: Carl Ogawa (115), cox'n; Glen Smith (180), stroke; Michael Harris (170); Tom Toynbee (180); Doug McDonald (190); Laurie West (180); Herman Zlokliko- vits (190); Ken Drummond (175); Bob Wilson (175); spares, Phil Kueber and Bill Hughes. itijmetoMi \Wvik(iN( 1822 W.
