>.. Student gov't? . THE UBYSSEY who cores? Vol. XLIV VANCOUVER, B.C., FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1962 No. 69 Meeting lacks quorum The most important of the proposed revisions to the AMS constitution will go to the students for approval in the form 'of a referendum as soon as possible. Student president Alan Cornwall said the referendum is ne cessitated by the failure of Thursday's general meeting to obtain a quorum. Issues likely to be in the referendum are the proposed quorum decrease, eligibility rules, re-installment of the coordinator of publications to eouncil, and the question of giving representation to the Rehabilitation Medicine Undergraduate Society, he said. ., Approval by 1881 students is needed to pass the proposals by referendum. Squalor at UBC gates says prof By PAT HORROBIN Nearly one quarter of UBC student population lives in conditions of semi-squalor just outside the university gates, a UBC geography professor said Thurs- ■ day. "If a student can't have a toilet, or a sink, or ! a stove, he's put into a substandard area," > Prof. Walter Hardwick of the geography department said, summing up the dilemma of 3,000 students living in a 100-square block single - family dwelling zone between Fourth and Sixteenth, Alma and Blanca. The figures came out of a five - month nose - counting of the student body by geography nndergrads. MAP BELOW A map of the lower Fraser Valley shows that of the several large concentrations of students, the biggest one is just outside the campus—and is the one place that self-contained suites in private dwellings are illegal. Hardwick ridiculed the municipal failure to provide for the University's needs: "The city planning council can't play the ostrich forever. "All the city has to do is face up to the fact there are up to 30 'transients' per block living in some guise or another, and estimate how best to service them." The two-family dwelling zone being extended from Alma, the present limit, to the gates, is what Hardwick sees as the only solution to the hardships students are putting up with this year. NO HOPE AT UBC "They have to live somewhere. The university can't hope to house them on campus so they live in what passes for sleeping rooms," he said of the students living west of Alma, who have sinks, kitchen and bathroom facilities at the risk of breaking the strictly enforced municipal bylaws. Only 1,011 show up; amendments foiled The AMS spring general meeting failed to obtain its quorum Only 1,011 students turned out to the Thursday meeting held in the Armory. —Photo by Bob Flick EMPTY SEATS DOMINATED the spring general meeting Thursday in the Armory. Only 1,-011 students (870 short of the quorum) showed up to watch councillors and engineers present a lively show during the long noon hour. Lack of quorum washed out proposed constitutional amendments. A referendum containing the chief amendments will be presented to students in the near future, disappointed student president Al Cornwall said. The quorum requirement is 15 per cent, or 1,881 members of the Alma Mater Society. As a result, no business could be conducted. Outgoing president Alan Cornwall said the most important of the constitutional amendments on the meeting's agenda will go to the students via referendum. The meeting was opened by outgoing president Alan Cornwall. Outgoing vice-president Eric Ricker then proceeded to explain the proposed "non-controversial" revisions of the AMS Constitution to the meeting. He then proposed the revision of By-law 2 (5), which would lower the quorum to 10 per cent of the student body—about 1,300 at present. QUORUM CHALLENGED The quorum was challenged at this point. Fred Fletcher, Arts 4, said it would not only be illegal but also highly irresponsible to deal with these "controversial" items without a quorum. He added it was obvious that there was not a sufficient number of students present and officially challenged the quorum. This challenge killed the possibility of the issues being put to a vote without the required number of. AMS members present. ! RICKER EXPLAINS President Cornwall then referred the "controversial" issues to vice-president Ricker for explanation and invited discussion of these proposed revisions. Discussion followed on the proposed quorum decrease. Two students spoke in favour of the proposal while one spoke against it. There was no discussion on the proposed eligibility revision. (Continued on page 8) (See MEETING) Revolting Castroites at meeting By GEORGE RAILTON A minor revolt highlighted Thursday's spring general meeting. Red-shirted revolutionaries led by "Fidel Castro" stormed the gathering in the Armory at noon Thursday. Bearded engineer Lawrence Rooney delivered a fiery speech in which he declared the end of democracy and the beginning of a reign of terror under the rule red. "What we offer is destruction, rape, murder, and disharmony. "Down with peace, destroy democracy, burn the buildings of love and mercy," Rooney shouted, j CHEERS ROCK ARMORY He took his seat amid cheers of "Engineers Si" and "Artsmen No" while President Alan Cornwall attempted to regain control. Twenty-five minutes after this introduction two councillor wandered in and took their seats en the platform. Ten minutes later the two engineering presidents found their way into the building and sat with their clan. - The brief discussion period was interspersed by the silent strikes of the engineers as they abducted unwary councillors from the back of the stage. Frosh president Ed Yewchin was the first to go, tumbling (Continued on page 8) (See STAFFER) Geography club reports Traffic bottlenecks waste student time By PAT HORROBIN Ten to 15 minutes are wasted every morning in the bottlenecks called north-west and south-west Marine Drive and University and Chancellor Boulevards. The answer to this, says UBC's geography club on looking over their map of student population distribution, is to improve existing access roads, plus Acadia and Sixteenth, which have been long on the planning-boards. A full 33 per cent of the student body comes to UBC along narrow, twisting, two-lane South west Marine Drive at 30 miles per hour. University Boulevard gets 36 per cent, Chancellor has 20 per cent and Northwest Marine lags Ten students per square block inhabit shaded areas with ten per cent, according to figures amassed by pollings in large classes. Immediate solutions the geographers suggest are, • the Administration should see the highways department about improving Southwest Marine: curving sharp turns and increasing the 30 miles per hour speed limit; • development of the present Acadia Lane into the back of Acadia Camp to feed into A and C lots, and would link up with Twenty-fifth, Twenty-ninth and Thirty-third. • five-cent university loop bus service to run either down to Trimble or to Alma, to service the enormous university population.

Thursday we witnessed one of the greatest displays of irre- sponsibilty of the year.. The AMS spring general meeting failed—by more than 800 persons — to produce a quorum. And yet council president Alan Cornwall, apparently with backing from most of the council, was prepared to start the meeting and conduct the society's business, in direct-contravention-of its constitution! And there were some very serious matters to come under discussion. Council had planned to ask the general meeting to approve the addition of two more members to council — the co-ordinator ; of publications and the representative from the school of rehabilitation medicine. Such moves could easily have resulted in opening Ithedoors for other schools to have representatives on council or in ith4 ■•tiH&ateak groups—as in the case of the publications co-ordinator -Vgetting back on council. ■ Increasing council size could have serious repercussions, and , yet eounjcil was psreBared to ram this move through, quorum or not. Mr. Cornwall kniws full well the changes can be made by referendum. ^l^^.'Tberei'^fire.^'bti^'serioOs recommendations. One would change ,th!e ^uorvim for the general meting. In fact, our ex-student presi- ,'denti Sir. Cornwall seemed to -be prepared to have the meeting vote :;to lower the quorum, thinking no- doubt that under the lowered I quorum, a quorum would be present. Such was not the case. Even tader. the. proposed new quorum 1,250 students would have had tto be in the Armory. There were only 1,011. / Another recommendation would have changed the method of selection of The Ubyssey editor-in-chief, so as to give council more , : control over the appointment. This move could eventually end up "with The Ubyssey being run by a council-controlled man. And yet our council, that group of students which has been spouting "irresponsibility" about many of its subsidiary organizations, were prepared to push these moves through. Well, that council is gone, and we hope the new one will be a little more responsible in their actions than the old one. Sure, butt What kind of cigaret-butt-disposer are you? Bo you grind your butts into the floor with your heel? Do you butt your cigarets on the nearest object and then nonchalantly flick them into the air? Or do you strive to be original by looking for' a hidden crevice in which to stuff the crushed crumbs of tobacco, paper and/or filter? ■ Perhaps1 you are really different and use one of the conveniences specifically provided for has-been cigarets, viz. an ashtray. Maybe you've wondered why, in this "tuum est" world of ours, there is a rule (believe it Or not) against smoking in classrooms in the newer buildings. The reason is simple—as simple as the stained, burnt linoleum and wooden floors, victims of repeated cigaret-butt attacks. If students (and professors) must smoke in class, why can't they butt their cigarets on the soles of their shoes? It would be the1 same thing as grinding the butt into the floor as far as the soles of the shoes were concerned. And the floor and the janitors would be more than grateful. So smokers, flick your cigaret ashes where you will but please, when you've finished your cigaret, end its life in an honorable fashion—like in an ashtray. MG Not lost! Editor, The Ubyssey. Dear Sir: I am disturbed by the mention of my name in a recent (Feb. 13) Ubyssey article entitled "Lost NFCUS trio puzzle UBC office". I would like to point out that well in advance of the NFCUS National Seminar I informed the UBC NFCUS Committee of my intention to spend a year doing research in Florida before returning to UBC, and received their consent to attend the seminar anyway. Also, I notified the National Secretariat of the situation. After the seminar I submitted the evaluation requested by NFCUS. In view of these facts I feel that I have acted in good faith with NFCUS, and have not violated any regulations. Furthermore, I hardly regard myself as "lost" since the Registrar, the Alumni Association, the Graduate Student Association, and the Zoology Department all have my present address. My only regret is that, by being temporarily absent from the campus, I have not been able to promote the 1962 National Seminar. The National Seminar is a most excellent enterprise to which NFCUS devotes a great deal of effort and a large part of its national budget. The delegate receives both a stimulated outlook on topics of current importance, and a broader knowledge of the other Canadian provinces and universities. I would strongly advise all interested students to apply to attend the 1962 SeminaF, and I can assure them that they will find it, as I did, a very worthwhile experience. Yours truly, RALPH L. McBEAN (1 G.S.) By Jack Ornstein The ripper replies Editor, The Ubyssey. Dear Sir: Scene 1, Time 2:30 p.m., Tuesday, Mar. 13, 1962. Arrived at UBC campus, and proceeded to Lot "B". Searched diligently for parking place near front of the lot. Quest unsuccessful. Forced to rear of lot. Finally found space at end of Lot "B". It was a small space. Question: will my Morris Minor fit, or must I go still further back? Lined car up with space. Surveyed situation carefully. Decision: five inches to spare. I would make it!!! Manouvred for twenty minutes. Finally succeeded in parking my car. Next problem: getting out. By concentrating, and squeezing, managed to survive battle. Left car at 2:45, and trekked the two miles back to the Library. Scene II, Time 4:10 p.m., Same day, same scene. Returned to car. Spied small white note on its window. A love letter? No! Upon venturing forth, I discovered a little white sticker which proclaimed: Thanks for taking two Parking Spaces, I had to park two blocks away. You stupid, inconsiderate, etc. . . . Feeling extremely dejected, rejected, and furious!! I sped home to write this tale. Surely this vulgarity is not necessary to get the point across. A note to my sticker-licker: If this notice you really must serve, Please observe "And then serve To those who deserve! Yours truly, A "Sticker-ripper-offer".

Magazine needs members By RICHARD SIMEON "Exchange" magazine, which describes itself as a Canadian Review of Contemporary Thought, is desperately in need of new subscnoers. The magazine, described by Hugh MacLennan as the most "mature publication for the general reader of intelligence we have yet seen in Canada," has in its short life developed a distinctive format of discussion, review and litreature for the discriminating reader. Works by Irving Layton, Norman Mailer, Brock Chis- holm, Hugh MacLennan and others have appeared in the magazine. Separatism, nuclear weapons and NATO unity, and "Philosophy Without God" are topics appearing in the first few issues. Response to the effort, which has just completed its third issue, has been excellent but more subscribers and advertising are necessary if the venture is to survive. It has just been reprieved by a $4,000 Canada Council grant. NFCUS is helping to get students interested in the magazine. The subscription fee is only $4.00 for 12 issues. The address is Exchange, 1559 Pine Ave. W., Montreal 25, P.Q. "Cripes! What a lousy movie rr Cripes, I went to a lousy movie last night. It was called On The Beach. I mean even the title is stupid. It's all about this big war and the end: of the world. Everyone's always saying that the world's going to end. It never does. Anyways, everyone ends up getting radiation sickness or something and they all live it up till the last minute when the damn show finally ends. What a show. It killed me. It really did. * * * I mean what's so bad about radiation sickness? You'd think it was communicable or something the way people talk about it. I mean there are lots worse diseases. Cripes—leukemia and cancer are pretty well fatal too, but no one seems to get riled up about them. What's a little nausea anyways? Anyways, what's there to worry about? They showed all these people lined up in the movie getting these pills that would kill them fast: That killed me. It really did. People are always taking pills. What a bunch of crap. I mean if you're gonna dTe you might as well live it up. But I've never died so I can't really say. * * * Anyways, this radiation sickness. I mean, what's wrong with losing your hair and coining up blood? You gotta lose your hair sometime! And unless you-re a haemophiliac, what's wrong with bleeding? There's at least a million ways to die and this movie's gotta pick radiation sickness. I mean even the bubonic plague would have been more exciting.. At least it's communicable! Ahd why do they always show these guys sitting in the middle of the road and the cops come and throw them into vans or even jail? Cripes! Haven't those guys got anything better to do than carry stupid signs around and sit in the middle of the road? Why aren't they out trying to earn an honest living like everyone else? What a bunch of phonies. They kill me. They really do. * * * Well, I gotta go home now. My mother always makes me come home an hour before cur few. What a bunch of crap. And those stupid sirens. Can't they turn the damn things off? I mean, three tests a day is stupid. I really mean it. And those bombs. It's a good thing they're always just testing them. What a mess if they drop one in the wrong place. Anyways, they say an accident won't happen till 1970 or something. Cripes, I'll be about a thousand years old by then. * * * Anyways, the hero of this movie said you could have radiation sickness for days and not even know it. I mean what you don't know can't hurt you. That's what they always say. Well, I gotta go now. Mom insists on me taking about a million readings a day. You'd think the war'd already started what with the milk supply cut off and these stupid radiation readings every day. Maybe we won't even need a lousy war to kill us all off. Maybe we'll do it just testing! P-s.—This is the first and last Holden Caulfield effort I'll expend. (Anyone seen Lefty?). Friday, March 16, 1962 THE UBYSSEY Page 3 WORDS By MIKE GRENBY We have a great time down here at The Ubyssey. The layout girls cackle in one corner; reporters type, shout, rush back and forth; the editors editorialize and try to keep things organized. Many come down to north Brock basement to visit us. There are the worthies who claim they were misquoted, and those who claim their letter to the editor was run upside-down when it was supposed to be run sideways, and those who want to know why we didn't use their poems, and those who hate The Ubyssey just on general principles and have come to tell us so. Recognition is a wonderful thing. • * * Actually the atmosphere is very informal, as the uninitiated quickly find out. "All I wanted to do was to put an ad in the paper," sobbed an attractive co-ed following her first visit to The Ubyssey office. "At first I could hardly hear myself think what . with all those typewriters going and telephones ringing and people yelling at each other," she went on. "Then one of the fellows saw me and whistled. Everybody turned and looked at me. "I started to ask about the ad when someone else came in the door and instead of walking past, he grabbed me and half-pushed, half-carried me into the office. "I almost died of shock and embarrassment, and then my assailant laughingly shouted, 'Here's another one to work for us,' and all the guys cheered. "It was just terrible. I saw a door which I thought led outside so I ran through it. "Instead of being an exit the door only led into an other office and when I saw the look the guy sitting behind the desk gave me, I fainted. • • * "When I came to, I was lying on a dirty old sofa and a couple of girls were leering down at me. " 'How ya feel, honey?' asked one of them, nudging me with her hips. 'I think I'll write a column on this,' said somebody I couldn't see. "I struggled to get up and this other really tall girl grinned at me and said, 'Hi, I'm moose.' '< " 'She'd be a great reporter— —did you see how quickly she got across the office and into the editor's office?' said a plump, funny-looking guy. "Then a photographer came over and flashed a picture of me and someone said, 'We'll run that on page one tomorrow.' "I screamed and a fellow with 'Sports Fink' written across his forehead said, 'The girl must be mad._We'd better let her go— don't want any of those down here.' "They all stood back and I staggered out. What a place!" • • • (Ed. note: We are pleased to report that this girl suffered no ill after-effects except that she is now happily working for us.)

Convocation to install Dr. Ross as chancellor Dr. Phyllis G. Ross, CBE, will be installed officially as UBC chancellor on Thursday, May 24, the first day of the university's spring congregation. Representatives from universities in North America and the United Kingdom have been invited to attend the installation ceremonies. Dr. Ross was elected chancellor of UBC last November to fill the unexpired term of the late Dr. A. E. Grauer, who died in July, 1961. Only one honorary degree will be awarded tit the two-day spring congregation. The degree of doctor of laws (LL.D.) will be conferred on UBC's retiring president, Dr. Norman MacKenzie. The citation for the degree will be read on both days of congregation, and Dr. MacKenzie will receive the degree on the second day, May 25. Dr. MacKenzie will deliver the congregation address on both days. A student loan fund of $4,000 will be set up by the graduating class of '62. The fund is this year's class gift. It will be administered by Dean Gage. A cruise to Belcarra Park is planned for the grads Apr. 28. The Baccalaureate service, preceded by a tree-planting ceremony, is scheduled for May 23. The class day exercises and graduating exercises will take place May 24 and 25, with the convocation ball planned for the evening of May 25. This year's valedictorian is Chas. MacLean; the class poet, David. Bromige; and the class historian, Bob GaytOn. Lorenne Gordon will read the class will, and Rick Brown, the class prophecy.

Tieless New Democratic members were asked to leave t h e House by speaker Graham Parker, after a Liberal member had crossed the flooi, giving the opposition a majority. But when the tieless members got up to leave, the rest Of- the NDP bench arose, too, and left. NDP spokesman said the number that the opposition would have lost because of lack of proper dress would have prevented them from toppling the government, anyway. He said the party's members decided that tbey were "poor but honest workmen" who could not afford to buy ties. The small scale parliament opened this year's session at 7:30 Wednesday night in Brock Hall. HIGH CEREMONIES In spite of the lack of mahogany panelling and leather upholstery, the official opening ceremonies lost none of their richness and significance. It was officially opened with the reading of the Speech from the Throne, by the governor- general. ^Bills for the current Session were given the first reading and debate began. All remarks are ostensibly addressed to the speaker but this barely slows the flying mud. The NDP member from Koot- enay quotes from Shakespeare referring to a Liberal government as "when madmen lead Liberal government Was saved defeat, because the' opposition the blind," and is greeted by. cries of "shame!" The Conservative member from Toronto-Eglington decries "the muddle-headed thinking by the junior politicians of the bow- tie set (Liberals)." QUEBEC SPEAKER The Liberal member from Pontiac-Temiseamingue, "en la belle province de Quebec," arises and objects vehemently to a misspelling of his constituency in the seating plan. And so it goes, from serious to comic and back again, the nation's future is decided in miniature — at least until Friday night in Brock when model parliament closes its doors for another year.

So too some of its plot situations lack plausibility even for such a medium as opera. It is not too difficult to accept the idea of a licentious duke's becoming enamored of the innocent daughter of his own wicked jester. But when that jester is also a loving father who keeps his daughter cloistered from public attention and ignorant of his own profession, even the opera enthusiast's credulity is strained. Yet Verdi has been so skillful in fusing his music and dramatic situations that their separate weakenesses materially lessen in the combination. One need only consider the fourth act quartet wherein the tender adresses of the Duke, the coquetry of a willing conquest, the jester's cries for vengeance and the heartbreak of his daughter blend in beautiful harmony to appreciate the degree of communication possible in Verdi's skillful wedding of music and drama. PARTS INTERMIX The most striking feature of the current Vancouver Opera Association presentation is also its fusion of parts. Where individual components can be criticized, praise certainly is due the high degree of overall achievement in this production. Conductor Mario Bernardi led a well paced performance, sustaining the dramatic surge necessary to focus attention ©n the continuity of its imperfect plot. While the orchestral volume of Act I in the opening night performance obscured some of the singing, such was not the case during subsequent acts where balance seemed better all around. The chorus, graced by natural looking costumes, demonstrated good discipline and cohesion. Their stage movements, thanks RIGOLETTO, presented by the Vancouver Opera Society, Queen Elizabeth Auditorium, opened March 8. to Irving Gullman's usual competent direction, also looked reasonably natural. As expected, Gail McCance's scenery, particularly for the last two acts, was effective without being elaborate. More- imagination could have been used in the background, however, and in the synchronization of lightning flashes and music in the final act. BARITONE, HUNCHBACK JESTER To the key role of the hunchback jester, NaPoleon Bisson brought a huge, resonant baritone whose sheer size unbalanced the duets with his daughter Gilda. In his great scene confronting the courtiers who have abducted his daughter, Rigo- letto must project a whole gamut of emotions from fury to supplication and despair. Though Mr. Bisson showed force- fulness both vocally and dramatically in his expressions of anger, his more lyrical passages suffered from less control and frequently excessive vibrato. While his interpretation was convincing, he" could have infused much more intensity"-to the passages following "Cortigiani vil* razza dannata" as he showed himself able to do in the brilliant "Si Vendetta." Reri Grist's Gilda was understanding and sympathetic. Her simple stage movements ably complemented a pure, clear voice. Fortunately her Caro Nome, although its trills were not all perfectly executed, emerged as a joyous outpouring of simple love rather than a mere display of coloratura. NOT EXACTLY VILLAINOUS As has become conventional, John Alexander interpreted the Duke of Mantua as a lighthearred, irresponsible devotee of pleasure rather than a deliberate villain. Like the rest of the cast he acted his arias instead of merely singing them. His robust tenor improved in clarity and control as the opera progressed, and like his colleagues, he coupled good projection and a sense of balance in the famous quartet. The lesser roles were all more or less well handled but two merit special note. Richard Cross revealed in the role of the assassin Sparafucile an exceedingly deep sonorous voice which ideally captured this character's malevolence. Elaine Bon- azzi, as the coquette Maddalena, a role in which acting is as important as singing, presented another carefully thought out performance. —William littler happy as pigs out of tish Went to hear the bad guys on Friday with a Tish-view and a jaundiced ear. Was surprised to be amused by and really interested in the poetry that was read. It was even better than the TISH reading the week previous, and deservedly earned a more responsive audience. So Bowering says they sprawl, but it was the kind of sprawl that pigs do in mud, which means it was FREEDOM. And freedom after six months of listening to the weird restrictions of voicing, the useless poems- that go about establishing a metaphysic, or a poetic, or of all things, a locale. After six months of senseless enumeration of things that is calculated to bring about the end of masterpieces and the beginning of testimonial; after six months of barren poetasting and limited ear-range, these bad guys looked good. I submit that the squares have more freedom within their old-fashioned laws than TISH has within its new and true Black Mountain - WCW dogmas, and thereby the squares have given themselves the permission to do the things that are the things of poetry. TISH stands for the repudiation of creativity, which isn't a bad thing to stand for, except that TISH poets seem to think that EVERYBODY should re- POETRY READING Friday', March 9, Bu. 104 pudiate creativity, and that isn't so. Poetry is big enough for many things, and if you squinch it down, poetry stops being poetry, and if the TISH people don't start soon to listen to other voices besides their own, they will endanger their personal rights and permissions, lose the poem in prejudice and put themselves behind bars that can't be escaped, and their poetry will be denied to them. Bromige read first a poem that was a little too literary. However, he showed later what he has learned from the TISH-ear. Pay attention, you guys. Bromige listened to you. Return the courtesy. You might learn something that you never thought of before.

All this was communicated in imagery that took the stitches out of body scars. Maxine Gadd as always was vital, jumped feet first into her reading showing plenty of the seer's imagination and the child's sense of song and sorrow, and was able with musical rhythms to project a consciousness of crooked imagery that revealed connections of self to cosmos. If you can forget logic, Matthews is hilarious and full of ironic spleen. He made up a few things too many, but they were all funny. Bobby Hogg as usual an insult to intelligence, explaining to the audience that DEUS EX MACHINA means in the Greek drama "the god from the machine". But the poems were good and spirited. Daphne Buckle didn't even read her best poem, but showed a poetic sensibility, though she is not ready yet to beat out some overly "poetic" and feminine elements from her poetry. Alex Annan was decorous. But he insulted jazz from the beginning, ana I wasn't able to concentrate on his poetry, and probably missed quite a lot. I guess thai these people show above all that the creative imagination does still exist and that poets are poets, instead of just the enumerators of objects.

"I tell you, my young friends, if ever I should be unable to write—if I shoul — gasp — lose an arm,, a hand, anything which prevents me from writing, I will . ." . kill myself." With the passion of any dark-suited French Canadian talking about his politics or his art, or both, Theriault shook his fists: "I never write for critics, I write for myself!" Across from Theriault, Robertson Davies shifted his great weight. "Intimidating. Critics tell the writer what he, the writer, is interpretating. A critical system used to judge other's works may prove entertaining and enlightening for the critic, but it is no picnic for the writer he pushes around." Davies' strong, heavy- voice made it known, however, that he was neither intimidated nor pushed: "I am tired of being told 'significant' things which I never intended in my works. The critic should-wait until the writer is dead." Milton Wilson, editor of Canadian Forum, gave an editorial appraisal. "Well, you write for the public; you must presume to open yourself-to misinterpretations. The critic or the editor reads as a reader, seldom as a writer." Circling his arms to enclose his audience of fifty students and clutching the radio microphone, Theriault rose to the ch 16, 1962 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 ■pi rom the UBC Players' Club :VER", which plays tonight , Curtain 8:30. critics ccasion: "I see myself as a hark, devouring the human Duli and the critics are pilot ish showing me where the fish re. Critics-are mal necessaire; las. no literature exists with- ut critics." Then pushing him- jlf back into his chair, Theri- ult gave a sombre, sonorous gh. "Critics are a-tampering ecessity. That is all." "Nonsense!" exploded Davies. The writer works with the ea* 'I have something wonder- il to tell the public'; but the •itic says, 'Hold on! I'll tell ju whether it is wonderful or >f." "Critics be damned!" Theri- ilt got up again. "Write be- oise you have something to y,' because you want to rite." "Literary pygmies have in- ded the world of critics," ivies asserted. "Every hack -iter thinks he can criticize." ^Criticism," snapped Frye, "is t hack writing. Hack writing not criticism." For his final statement, Frye :nt on to win mighty ap- mse.

"Writing is like, how shall i say?—like a turn in the ly. I need to write. I must te. It is more important than wife and family. It is some- ng inside, physical, spiritual, thetic ... I must write!"

Choy ace by george bowering *&l" ■ * *-»v« .^X^S^S*?- *!t the mused-up mess Last weekened the Players Club produced the violent AFRIKAANER by Larry Kent, and the Vancouver Little Theatre ran Connie Irvine's one-scener, THE LAUGH at the far and gloomy York Theatre. Both were first plays by as yet amateur writers, both were amateur, but both were a spermwhale of a lot more interesting than any exhumaiion of Noel Coward or Clifford O'Dets. RAW AFRIKAANER I saw the AFRIKAANEH first at noon in the UBC auditorium on March 8. The author is the kind who likes to use a pen nib an inch wide, and show us life in the raw. If any cooking was done, it was done by the director, Richard Irwin. Tr,3 curtain opened on a set that seemed over-ambitious for a work a half-hour long. It was an almost surreal representation of a Johannesburg gaol, with flats zooming off on giddy angles and doors reaching sauve-qui-peut-ion heights. The wildly audacious lighting and soundmak- ing added to the symboioquacious presentation of a story that could have better withstood a realistic handling. FINE QUALITY OF ACTORS And the actors were fine. Katy Robertson, who stepped into the part only a few days before the performance, was the best thing in the show. Playing a beautiful (which she was) mulatto prostitute brought in on a South Africa apartheid immorality charge with an Englishman called Johnson, she was the cat-spitting, laughing, hip-jabbing sexy girl of life that the playwright invented. Unfortunately her coloring was inadequate: the symbolic contrast was missing as she stood beside Johnson, her makeup the same color as his. LEE MACKENZIE was Johnson, and he played the role with all the snivelling and crying and blustering required of him, and then some. As bearded bombardier Mike Matthews said afterwards, Macken- bawdier scenes may not have disappoint- be taught step by step. MANY MOTIONS, BUT ADEQUATE The lead part, the morality ensnarled police sergeant with the suspiciously suggestive name Hendrik, was played adequately by high school (?) actor, Allan Scarfe. His voice, his stance, and his sheer listening were right in key with Irwin's offreal realization of the play. But his hands too often waved around the stage, giving one the impression of a glutted albatross desperately trying to get into the air. BETTY HALL as th* older prostie, quite at home in the sparse cell, was seen for the first time by these eyes, and we hope to see her some more. Tho her voice went for a vacation on her longer speeches, her body never did. CLINT SOLOMON made his first appearance on our local stage too, and his was as well a rewarding one, if only for the splendid voice he has. He played one of the men Larry Kent doesn't like—the African version of the butt-bussing Uncle Tom, and he played an old man as well. His portrayal seemed to bespeak more stage experience than he claims, though at times he forgot that his body should belong to a work-crippled old man and not to a music-responding young dancer, which Solomon really is. SOTT DOUGLAS, as the young city bred police officer, reminded me of nothing so much as Scott Douglas the young city bred loafer of the fail production. Luckily his stage personality fitted the part, and things went smoothly, except when he and Scarfe made the departing of Douglas to his beat sound more like Verdi than Kent. DIRECTOR IRWIN got a lot out of his cast, as the kind reviewer always finds himself saying. The only major flaw was probably the fault more of his writer, that AFRSKAANER by Larry Kent; directed by Richard Irwin; UBC auditorium. THE LAUGH by Connie Irvine; directed by Kay Taylor; York Theatre. being the long central part of the play where the visual gives way to speechifying, and we have the spectacle of the sergeant pacing around his tiny office as if blocking were a matter of staying on the move, and motivation a matter of finding a new place to move to. AFRIKAANER was the first production of this kind by the Players Club. I feel that they are to be commended for their energy and encouraged to continue the search for talent and locus. LAUGH AT YORK Moving from the groin to the groan of a generation that is lost and won't be found anywhere, we find ourselves similarly lost in a balcony of the York Theatre where the VLTA workshop attempted to lose us all in two nights of auto-neuroti- cism called simply and inauspiciously "Three Original One-Act Plays." One of these was The Laugh, seen by your obscene correspondent the cold in the nose night of March 10. A study in the non sequitur, The Laugh is an anti-story about two girls who live in a non-existent girls' dorm somewhere in the middle of nothingville. One of the girls is a neurotic emptyhead with nice gams and hairdo who keeps sprouting mendacious stories about her scintillating love affairs. The other is a self-conscious ragbag who desperately tries to compensate for her laziness by convincing herself that she is an artist of some kind — any kind. The key to her ploy is the Dylan Thomas record she plays, the only one she has, the kind of response to a poet that would make the poet belch. PARTIAL COMMENDATION KAY TAYLOR was the workshop director, and she is to be commended guardedly for getting the playlet on the stage, but for little more. I am sure that her conception of the characters was a compromise between traditional VLTA fluff and Connie Irvine's less rational but saner viewpoint. As the playwright herself said, the thing had no form, and this is true. Written on paper, it had at least vestiges of form, these fulcrumed on the realization that we saw a futile but pitilessly pitiful battle between phony and phony. But Miss Taylor tried to give us the form one woujd associate with an Ian Thorne propoduction, and form became like an unelasticized bra. RITA KELLY, who played Kriss the kissable, was visually yummy. One wanted to put a wad of cotton in her mouth and just admire her with the eyes, or whatever. But she knifed the playwright in the side when she opened her uncot- toned mouth and warbled an irrelevant mid-Atlantic accent. She did not know what she was supposed to do with her character; but she made up for that in part anyway, by demonstrating that she knew what to do with her body. The body had a lot more potential in any case, I said to the person beside me, who was also leaning forward in his seat. NOT CRUMMY ENOUGH ARLENA CHASE, as the mucky Michelle, was visually crummy, but at first, I thought, not crummy enough. Maybe this was because the director or the actress thought we should SYMPATHIZE with her. Hah! VLTA verisimilitude of t h e jungled jaundiced eye. Miss Chase seemed better to know what to do with her part, being the would-be but too lazy artist, yet seeming to be serious about it, too. JAMIE REID'S was the best realized part. Ee didn't have to say anything, which is a real acting job for Mr. Reid— he merely walks on the stage at one point, the symbolic I guess mysterious dashing is he real male suitor. Dressed in black with cane and perfect grooming, a junior size Playboy ad in stark black and white, he saunters onto the stage, pokes lazily around and walks off with a bottle of pickles. While Xvlichelle talks. This was the best scene of the play, largely because it was visual, and you didn't pay much attention to what Michelle was saying. UNINTERESTING TALK But that was the flaw of the number— it was not visually interesting, nothing much happened outside of the talk, and the talk was not interesting enough to make up for it, as it is in, say, The Bald. Soprano. But this is not the Theater of the Absurd, so comparisons of this sort carry only the jockey's weight. THE LAUGH was adjudicated into the regional one-act festival playdowns, winning over the other two productions of the night. It's too bad it can't meet the Afrik- aaner in the finals, but the latter can't make it because of technical problems inflicted upon it by director al whimsy. The mere fact thai original and young CBC-free plays are being incubated hereabouts is a refreshing sign, after all. the critics' page Ed: Bromige Layout: Jones FARMERS! 1 STUDYING TOO HARD? 1 KEEP ASPIRIN WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES ASPIRINS!

Bob Mc Alpine was elected vice-president; Kerry Egdell, public relations officer; and Chuck Rennie, undergraduate society committee representative. Earlier elections for the same slate were invalidated when it was discovered students from faculties other than science were voting. Munro said it would be hard for the polling clerks to determine during the voting whether a student was in arts or science, but he criticized the clerks for not detecting commerce students who voted. He said AMS cards were used for the invalid election and the clerks should have checked the cards for faculties. Munro also said one of the polling clerks told people who to vote for. "We used different polling clerks for Friday's election," Munro said. "They were well briefed, too." Earlier all other Science executive positions went to candidates by acclamation.

The battle for the championship will be between last year's winners, Salmon Arm Jewels, Victoria, John Oliver and Kimberley. JEWELS BRIGHT Jewels have won twenty out at twenty-four games this season, and are led by Sandra Gloyn, Sue Jamieson and Gail Reading. Second-place finisher last year, Victoria High is once more a rated contender. They are the Victoria City, Lower Island and Island champions. Sue Mason and Mary Pearson, who both made the Island First All-Star team, help mainstay the Island powerhouse. John Oliver, third place occupants in 1961, are ■ Vancouver District champions after defeating Delbrook in the finals. 'Although no one player stands out, the team, is characterized by good bench strength. The Selkirk Royalettes from Kimberley, winners of the consolation round last year; have lost only one game in the past three years. They are led by scoring champion Brenda Wilson who has already scored 90 points through the.season. TALL STORY Abbotsfbrd, led by six foot-one inch Dee Dawson, ar« this year's Fraser Valley champions. The Prince George Polarettes represent the North Central District, with a yearns record of seven wins and one loss. Their strength lies in Diane Bond, one of the outstanding players of the tournament in past years. The championship game will se played 8:30 Saturday night, ollowed by the awards presen- atton. * * * THURSDAY'S SCORES Abbotsford 36, Salmon Arm 33; at.

At 9 p.m., Vancouver College will host Prince of Wales for the top spot in the tourney. The loser will take No. 2 position. Prince of Wales, College, and the winners of the other two games will advance into the 16-team provincial tournament next Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at Memorial Gym. Birds select tough practise The Vancouver Selects will be the opposition for the rugger Birds this Saturday when they meet in Victoria. Birds will be trying to get back into the win column after i four straight losses since their ' California tour. A SKI TIPS By BETSY FERGUSON Forbidden Plateiu near Cour- tenay on Vancouver Island is the weekend destination of a VOC ski-mountaineering group Members of the ski clubs in Cour- tenay and Comox will be hosting the UBC representatives to the ski race to be held there on Sunday. Another ski - mountaineering trip will be run on Mt- Seymour Sunday. Interested climbers should be at the VOC cabin early Sunday morning. Skiers are reminded that tows run on Grouse and Seymour during the weekdays if weather permits. And there is always night-skiing on Seymour Wednesday and Thursday from 7-10 p.m. Seymour also has its new chairlift in operation on the weekends. Bargain-hunting skiers will find this an especially good time to buy new equipment. Most of the sporting goods shops are having big sales to get rid of skiing merchandise before summer. SKI REPORT There has been no new snow the last week, but some of last week's powder is likely to be left. The weekend may bring a few more inches of new powder. They lost three straight games to California teams and last Saturday they lost to Oak Bay. TOUGH TEAM Birds are going up against one of Canada's toughest teams in the attempt to break out of their slump. The Selects are Vancouver's best rugger players. They have been selected by top rugger coaches on the lower mainland to play the New Zealand University team next week. The game, however, is just a scrimmage to give both teams an idea of what positions they are weak in. The game will be played at Gordon Head Park at 11 a.m. in order that the players can see the New Zealand - Victoria Rep game. Major changes on the team for the game will see Lari Robson, up from the Tomahawks, at scrum-half. Roy Bianco will be at fullback replacing Bruce McCallum, who suffered a broKen jaw in California. Tvr gym championships UBC puts best forward Three of UBC's top gymnasts travel to Sacramento 'his week end for the Western ntercollegiate Championships onight and Saturday. Gym coach Dr. H. D. Whittle ias chosen Gordy Gannon, Bob Tones, and Joe Marchand to nake the trip. The meet is the last for UBC lymnasts before the Pacific Northwest AAU meet which hey host April 6 and 7 at lemorial Gym. Gannon has been UBC's top oint-getter for the past two ears and is currently Cana- ian free calisthenics cham- ion. Last week, in the Pacific erthwest Championships, he was nosed out by only two points by University of Washington's Bob Hall for the individual championship. Gannon placed first in vaulting and in free exercises. A 22-year-old physical education student, on his second year with the team, Gannon's outstanding performances have already won him his letter in gymnastics. He was also chosen team captain this year. Jones, also in his second year with the team, has turned in some outstanding performances lately. In the Northwest Championships, Jones tied with Gannon for first place in the free exercises. He won his letter this year. Rounding out the trio is Marchand, who is making a comeback after winning his gymnasties letter two years ago. A second year Arts student, Marchand, while in high school, was provincial junior champion. He specializes in still-rings, tumbling and free exercises.

Page 8 THE UBYSSEY Friday, March 16, 1962 From poge 1 Meeting fails Bernie Papke, co-ordinator of activities, and treasurer Malcolm Scott, both spoke against admitting the RMUS on the grounds that the society does not have sufficient students to warrant representation on council (it has only 19 members). A member of the RMUS stated that although this is the society's first year, the present stu- jJeitt vgdyejnment system is not based on representation by population and that it is only democratic that his society be represented on council. At this point, a representative of the Science Undergraduate Society offered on behalf of the SUS to take the RMUS "under the wing" of the SUS until such time as the new society had graduates and a greater membership. A member of the RMUS declined the offer. Incoming president Doug Stewart then introduced the seven Honorary Awards winners. They are Jim Meekison, Grad Studies 1; Fred Fletcher, Arts 4; Peter Haskins, Law 2; Barbara Bennett, Arts 3; Beverly Clarke, Comm. 3; Dean Feltham, Comm. 3; and Tom Nisbet, Agr. 3.
