Old deans never die We UBYSSEY They just- lose their faculties VOL. XLIV VANCOUVER, B.C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1962 No.52 Pursue pleasure — Swami The purpose of" life is the happiness of each individual, according to Swami Guru Deva- nand Maharaj. "It is the legitimate desire of every man to search for joy," the Swami told an audience of 200 Thursday. But physical happiness is confined by the imitations of the senses. While-"not disparaging the satisfactions of the ma*- .terial world, the Swami said that the deepest levels of personal happiness come from within. The Swami said he believes ;iii the universality of all religions. All scriptures, Christian, Hjndu,, or Mohammedan, are perfect Jn their own right; they await only the subjective interpretation of the reader, he said. The Swami advocated "deep meditation" as the means of transcending all things material and experiencing the exalted state of supreme, realty, thus "unfolding the latent faculties of the mind." By meditation, he said he meant contemplation rather than concentration. Static concentration • is aliejn to the naturally dynamic mind, he argued. The mind should be allowed to explore Creation's subtlest wonders, and to finally go beyond the level of thinking. Only then will the mind comprehend omnipresent God r the ultimate reality, the Swami said. "Can the eye see the eye?" he asked. "No, and in the same way, the Being within is realized when we are no longer eonscious Of it." Swami Maharaj is a discipline of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, leader of the international Spiritual Regeneration Movement, begun in 1958 in Madras. Foreign aid lack is hit by students OTTAWA (CUP) — Canada's record in foreign aid is being blasted by students at Carleton University, and a request is being made that the blast be made nation wide. Students and faculty at the Ottawa university have formed a committee to challenge students across Canada to join them in a protest. In a letter to student councils across the country, the Carleton Challenges Canada Committee, asks that the protest be taken up, and "let it be known that we as university students and Canadian citizens are dissatisfied with the attitude of our country in the general iield of foreign aid and in the particular one of education. "We are disturbed at Canada's shocking record in foreign aid, especially in the realm of education," states the letter.

DEEP MEDITATION is the key to unfolding the latent faculties of the mind, according to Indian mystic Swami Guru Maharaj. But will it get one through final exams??? Toilet seats take mid-term holiday Toilet seats were at a premium Wednesday. Demand shot sky-high, after pranksters made off with 101 toilet seats from washrooms in the Buchanan, Chemistry, and Physics buildings and the library Tuesday night. early Wednesday morning birds arriving at the Physics building washroom found only one toilet intact. By the middle of the morning student were lined up twenty deep outside the single fully- equipped toilet. Botlv-niale and female water closets "were hit. The practical jokers, reportedly dressed as plumbers, moved in on the buildings shortly after 8 p.m.- Tuesday. The raid was carried off smoothly except for one incident, usually reliable sources told The Ubyssey. As two of the pranksters came out of a Library washroom clutching several toilet seats, they were confronted by a Buildings and Grounds night foreman. The pair told the man they were removing the seats on orders of Wesbrook officials who were investigating a "complaint." Having convinced the foreman, the two slipped the seats into a canvas bag and left, it was reported.

Page 4 THE UBYSSEY Friday, February 9, V Jean Cocteau's brought to mind a verse from a Louis Macniece poem. "John MacDonald found a corpse, put it under the sofa, Waited till it came to life and hit it with a poker. Sold its eyes for souvenirs, sold its blood for whisky, Kept its bones for dumb-bells to use when he was fifty." RECAPITULATION Cocteau is now seventy (not . fifty), but he has certainly taken the corpse of his ideas from BLOOD OF A POET and ORPHEE and sold "its eyes for souvenirs". LE TESTAMENT D'ORPHEE is nothing more than a recapitulation of his pre-occupation with the Artists' conscious and unconscious mind, with the esoteric quality of Art and with the necessity for the Artist to 'die' before he can really begin to live. The result is that his last film is more apres-garde than avant- garde. His earlier films had validity because their ideas could be properly related to all art; in this film, as he puts it himself: "I shall perform a strip-tease of my soul" with the result that the film becomes a "Siudged up collection of paradoxes and aphorisms culled from his mind over a period of fifty years. There is no form of structure to the film, which whisks us about the labrynths of Cocteau's subconscious like the garbled account of a psychiatric examination. The poetry of the dialogue has many levels of meaning, but what relevance has this meaning other than a quixotic interest in soul-stripping? "This flower embodies the paralysis of your destiny." Very lovely words— but what do they mean? And KINEO By PETER MORRIS • LE TESTAMENT D'ORPHEE • UBC Auditorium — Thursday, February 8, latest film what about a paradox like: "Only the unreal is real". Cocteau has also reproduced the Pygmalion legend in which an artist's created characters come to life, and has added to it by having these characters turn round and question the artists as to his purpose. I wish, too, I could praise the acting for the film contains so many celebrities that I lost count. But I cannot. Cocteau, playing himself (or Orpheus?), wanders around like a sonam- bulist, and none of the others seem to have very much faith in, or understanding of, their roles. What a contrast this is to ORPHEE! * I prefer also to forget* the obvious-trickery in some of the photography: people appearing and disappearing with a rapidity that dazes one; sequences reversed in time (as when Ce- geste appears from the sea, or when Cocteau re-assembles the Flower of Irrationality). On the other hand, I shall long remember the sheer evocative beauty of the imagery: the gypsy encampment; Minerva framed by two centaurs; Cocteau being carried to his bier by the centaurs and the beautiful choice of location. Sequences like these set the mind of an imaginative tack away from the phantasmogria. I shall remember also the grace and poetry of the movements, and the subtle quality of light and share. WIT AND SATIRE I shall remember, too, the dry wit of some of the dialogue. Cocteau remarking "Drole chien!" at a couple of men imitating a dog. Cocteau dubbing two lovers who write poetry whilst they love: "Intellectual lovers". Cocteau's remark .about people in the Eighteenth Century thinking . -* ,.- **" '4 1962 smoking "a very strange idea." Or the self-satire as he dons his D.Litt (Oxon) gown to reassemble a Flower. If these are the things Cocteau would like me to have as "souvenirs" then I am pleased. The rest — the pretentiously loaded intellectual collection of Cocteau-isms—I prefer to forget. SUMMATION Since I began with poetry I will let Walter de la Mare speak my final summation of the film: "A foolish, fond old man, his bedtime nigh, Who still at western window stays to win A transient respite from the latening sky, And scarcely can bear it when the Sun goes in."

WEAK SATIRICALLY Iolanthe as presented last week by the Greater Vancouver Operatic Society lost little of its inane humor but its satiric elements were weakened by a tendency either to understate them or to play for laughs more than meaning. In the crucial role of the old Lord High Chancellor, Harry McCulloch seemed afflicted by this latter tendency.

The male chorus generally sang rather badly, showing especial strain in the upper registers.

Her pleasing soprano blended well with the tenor of Kirk Macbeth, whose diction in the role of Strephon, made up for what his voice lacked. LESS ADMIRABLE One of the less admirable features of the whole production, which as a production rates quite well, lay in the orchestra, pit. While conductor Beverly Fyfe strove commend- ably to co-ordinate his forces, the pit ensemble was simply too small to do justice to Sullivan's orchestration. Doreen Bell's stage direction adhered to rather traditional, unimaginative lines. But routine chorus blocking posed a Jess serious flaw than the lack of individual characterization by the principals. G & S direction and acting are traditionally stylized but this should not preclude individuality. If more members of the cast had felt the enthusiasm and identification with their roles demonstrated by that earlier mentioned peer in the chorus, the performance as a whole would probably have projected more of the wit and satire which make Gilbert and Sullivan operettas the most eduring in the English language. —william littler Winram Insurance Ltd.

"The results," says physicist Edward Teller, "were reassuring." In this week's Saturday Evening Post, he tells how much radiation the body can absorb. And why we should stop worrying about fallout. The Saturday Evening n February i« issue now on saiI * by george bowering FERLINGHETTI - THE NICEST THING about the reaffirmation of poetry as a vocal art, is that the poets are being heard all over the place as they range beyond not only the pages of the Partisan Review, but far past the boundaries of their own coteries, universities, and literary societies. Long range reading tours are one pleasant phenomenon, and the recent interest in recorded poetry is another. NEW DIRECTIONS HAS picked up on the gambit of the Iowa poets, distributing Fer- linghetti's new book with a small LP disc tucked inside the back cover. One can speculate without tongue in cheek, STARTING FROM SAN FRANCISCO; new poems by Lawrence Ferlinghetti; New Directions; 79 pp; hardpaper and 33Vz RPM —$2.95. that the time will come when the record or the tape or whatever science has in store, will be sent put with little or no printed addenda. IN FERLINGHETTI'S CASE, the advent of the book-record idea is fortunate indeed, because he is more impressive to the listener than to the reader, far more impressive. Ferlinghetti is the A. E. Hbusman of the Beat Generation. Next to of course Ginsberg, he is the best selling American poet of the postwar era. A fearful influence, he can be heard gooking through the imitative poems droned out in coffee houses all over America. BUT, AS THESE NEW poems show, he has been more valuable as a publisher and vender (City Lights Books) than as a poet — more valu able, that is, to students and devotees of the poetic art. Certainly he reaches an audience unexpected in this age. Unkind critics will say: So has Edgar Guest. Let us not be unkind. BUT INSTEAD LOOK AT the best poem in the new compilation. "The Great Chinese Dragon" is more lucid, more subtle, and less inclined to sprawl than any other poem Ferlinghetti has written of late. In it he refrains from his usual inorganic jokes, corny repetitions, and blandly stolen lines. He writes quite inspired description of the SF New Year's scene, and from that locale right out to an undiverted satirical blast at the war- making fringe of all America and the whole world. Most important-—he works with a propelling sound that drives his long lines through the poem as it drives his long dragon through the - Chinatown America streets. BUT OTHER POEMS, LIKE "Hidden Door" show the poet at his worst, the poet with a lot of blank paper and a lot of unconnected j a r g o n i s tic jokes and bang-on lines. Here is where the reader (ie—me) sees Ferlinghetti as the pop-_ ular standup beatnik comedian, the troubador of the. top; forty.' Here he sounds like a hanger- on imitator of'Ginsberg, who has looked tpo long at his own photograph in the old Life Magazine article. BUT AS I SAY, TO HEAR him is to forgive. To hear him is a pleasure, and when you get down to it, that's what you're supposed to get from a poem. The current festival was clever to get Ferlinghetti to read at UBC this afternoon — somebody was not so clever in booking him for such a tiny room. ST.

A letter to the sports editor. Things are looking up. It concerns Tuesday's For The Birds in which your agent expressed disappointment at the fact that an exhibition game between the best college basketball team in B.C. (the UBC Thunderbirds) and the best senior amateur team (the UBC- cum-New Westminster Bakers) will not come about. 3ft 3ft 3f> Sports Editor, The Ubyssey, Dear Sir: It is a matter of concern to those of us whose responsibility it is to administer the policies and activities of the Men's Athletic Committee that, for the second time this session, you have chosen to editorialize on a matter which, in most of its aspects, is an unfortunate one. Our primary objective in calling attention in this way to your column in the Feb. 6 issue of The Ubyssey is to assist those of your readers who may wish to form opinions to do so on a broader basis of information than that which you have provided. It is the broarl policy of MAC to provide a program of extramural sports which will both furnish an outlet for student athletes of more than average ability and, at the same time, assist them to develop their skills in a high level of competition. When and where we do so, it is our hope and expectation that our athletes will co-operate and assist in the development of this program. We believe it is the feeling of the great majority of the student body, at least insofar as we can interpret it through their representatives on the MAC, that those who are members of the AMS and who have special skills and talents to contribute should have a sense of pride and also some feeling of obligation in giving university teams and clubs such time as they can devote to extra-curricular activities. We believe, further, that the general feeling is that rigid regulation of this matter would toe undesirable and that efforts should be directed toward making representing his university a desirable end for the student. This year, as you have pointed out, a small group of students who in previous years had established their ability to compete on university teams, have chosen to compete on an outside team in a basketball league in which the university is not represented.' ^ Because we believe them to have been misguided in their reasoning, MAC has considered it to be a fortunate circumstance, primarily from the point of view Of their own best interests, that it will not become necessary for them to compete directly against their fellow students. For reasons such as these, we must record our disagreement with the stand taken by your column that a game between Bakers and UBC would be a desirable thing. To advocate it mainly on the basis that it would provide a ./'big gate" and for the reasons you appear to associate with gate receipts, does not make the proposition more attractive in our view. May we suggest to you that when gate receipts become so important that principles go out the window, no doubt other equally possible ways of attracting crowds can be found. We would not for a moment suggest that any policy that MAC adopts is likely to meet with 100 percent acceptance by all those who are affected by it, or that those who disagree are not entitled to their own views. * Our final comment is that at any time policies which MAC lays down, in what it believes to be the best interests of the whole, cease to toe in conformity with general student opinion it then lies within the power of the AMS to advise a change.

[UBC STUDENTS 15% Discount Imported Oar Farts an* Accessories 'Overseas Auto Pa its j 112th and Alma The loss came as quite a surprise, especially considering the Thunderbirds' easy 73-51 victory over the same team the night before. Wednesday, Birds capitalized on a last-half letdown by the travel-weary Peruvians for their victory. Down only 31-29 at half- time, the Peru team couldn't cope with the second half zone thrown up by the Birds. They had trouble coping with big Dave Way also, who ended up with 26 points, his best of the season. The Peru club was playing its seventh game in nine days, however, and its Spartan-like pace had to slacken sooner or later. All signs of. weariness disappeared Thursday, as the Peruvians chalked up the easiest victory of their Canadian tour. Behind the flawless performance of huge centre Ricardo Duarte, Peru jumped into a 40- 26 first-half lead. Duarte, who is wonderfully agile for his 6- foot-8 frame, scored 18 points in the first half and added three more in the second before fouling out with 16 minutes left in the game. Peru completely outfoxed Thunderbirds in Thursday's game, pressuring Birds into making countless mistakes, the same tactics UBC applied in Wednesday's encounter. The cat-quick Peruvians simply ran Birds out of the gym. • • • The Thunderbirds will polish off a hectic basketball week with two games against the University of Alberta at Calgary here tonight and Saturday. Game time tonight for the Thunderbirds is 7:30, while the Jayvees meet Alberni at 9:00. Saturday night, Birds will meet Alberta at 9:15 while the Jayvees meet Alberni again in the preliminary. Earlier this season, UBC took two games from Calgary on their home court, but they had to go into overtime to win the second contest. Alberta is a small team, but they have speed to burn. They use a zone defence, switching into a full-court press often enough to keep their opponents off balance.
