Electric That the fight for progress in British Columbia today is the same thing as the fight against the B. C. Electric was the opinion expressed yesterday by John Stanton, Vancou- aer barrister. Mr. Stanton addressed approximately 150 students in a meeting in Arts 100 sponsored by the Social Problems club, British Columbia's power resources, Mr. Stanton claimed, were so neglected that when during the war Vancouver needed all the energy it could get, i the B. C. Electric had to make arrangements to impart power from the government-owned Bonneville project in the United States. "The sinister aspect of this,'' he said, "is the fact that the temporary lines arc now being made permanent." COMPANY POLICY He said that the reason for the company's non-development of the province's resources "is to be found in the company's basic policy," Mr. Stanton pointed out that only two of the 12 directors of the B. C. Power Corporation (the parent company of the B.C E.) are British Columbia men. The others, he asserted, are interested primarily in keeping Canada's industrial development in the cast. "They are interested in a constant and high rate of profit", he continued, and he went on to show how they had succeded in doing this. He quoted figures showing that in a nine year period up to 1944, tire B.C. Llectric averaged $6.3 million per annum, which represented a 55-percent profit on gross revenue, OLD EQUIPMENT He said that the B.C.

Unless action is taken immediately, the teams that were intended to carry the Blue and Gold colors to the Island capitol for the first invasion since pre-war days may never get as far as Pier C, much less the battlegrounds of Victoria. €> It wa.s announced yesterday by Bill McKay, Chairman of the Eligibility ISS Objective Still Elusive Contributions for International Student Service are still being made but the objective of $8000.00 still remains a "mysterious something," according to Philip Evans, Sophomore member of the Council and chairman of the ISS committee on the campus. Figures released by Evans yesterday place the latest total at $847.11. The committee has received two cheques for §50.00 from A. Sanders and Jeffrey Fox, and a cheque for ?25.00 from Branch 72 of the Canadian Legion at University of B'.C. Some ration coupons have also been received which break down into four separate totals: meat coupons, 802; meat tokens, 297; butter joupons, 41; and sugar coupons, 62.

This is the only team of those wishing to go to the Island that has had its eligibility lists go through the regist- lar'.s office this term, The only other athletic team on the campus to comply with the regulations regarding eligibility lists is the Women's Senior B Basketball squad. ELIGIBILITY FORMS In a statement to the Ubyssey yesterday, McKay said that all eligibility forms of athletic clubs on the campus must, be in his hands by Monday at 1:30. This does not mean only the teams that are taking part in the Invasion. It should be made clear that all team.s representing the University must comply with the regulations laid down in the Eligibility Code. The penalty 1'cr not obeying these rules would mean that the team will not be able to compete in athletic activities for the rest of the year. REASONS FOR ACTION Several reasons were given for this action, Stated McKay, "Letters were sent on January 9 to presidents of the different organizations requesting the managers of the different teams, clubs and organizations to submit lists to. the Eligibility Committee as soon as possible." McKay realized that since the exam results came out. later than usual, lists could not be submitted to meet the deadline stated in the Eligibility Code. POOR RESULTS Pestering the various heads of MAD, WAA and LSE to submit lists started in February. The only results have come from the two aforementioned teams, the Player's Club and the Musical Society. As Mckay put it. "Tne purpose of the eligibility ruling Y to prevent students from continuing extra-curricular activities when by doing so they are in danger of failing. If the eligibility rulings are not immediately enforced, their purpose will be defeated because there is not much time left in this term, and it is , quite 1 es.sible that some students who are ire' .'ible, but who have been playing s; .its because m (T-;ibd;!y lists were '■I'Yiutted, may fail.

At Mi Gill as at Toronto, voting is quiet, and here the percentage of voters i.s low. Although elections are often keenly contested and much made of student government, actual figures show student-interest apathetic where voting is concerned. Western University has noted a falling off in vote-participation and plans a new system of government which will be more representative^ Very little pep-rallying and stunting was reported from the different campuses with the exception of McMaster which featured a leaflet bombing raid over the campus, radio broadcasts and appealing posters.

"If you beli.vc that depressions are inevitable you might as well give credence to be the theory that they are caused by sun-spots," he said.

STAFF THI SISSUE: Editors—Laura Haahti and Bette Whitacross Laurie Dyer; SOONER OR LATER Sooner or later they'll be coming around students attending lectures in the line of huts to collect a corpse or an injured person somewhere on the roads within the university grounds if something isn't done to cut down the speed rate indulged in by some of the campus drivei'S. Now that spring seems to be here at last and the roads are in better shape for fast driving, the roads leading to and from the main mall are getting to be rather dangerous t thoroughfares for the pedestrians who must of necessity use them for getting from lecture to lecture. The two most dangerous roads are those along that mall and one of these mornings at 8:30 a late motorist and a late pedestrian are going to collide, with unfortunate results. Signs have always plainly marked the main mall with a fifteen mile per hour limit and the regulation has been enforced fairly rigidly. Similar markings and similar enforcement should be the order of the day for the other roads which are now carrying almost equally heavy traffic. It can hardly be expected that students can be forced to cross roads at specially marked places, so inasmuch as between-lectures traffic is likely to remain frantic and haphazard there leading from the mall to Brock Hall and the should be greater control over the few care- west mall running past the applied science less drivers who would turn the university building. The latter road has to be crossed by into a speedway. The Children's Hour By LES BEWLEY "TORONTO—Bottle toting and bedroom drinking in hotels are to be dealt a blow by provincial liquor regulations with the inauguration during the next lew weeks of cocktail bars throughout Ontario. To catch bedroom drinkers, hotels are to make a charge of 50 cents for a serving of ice cubes. Prices will be stepped up to 50 or 60 cents for each bottle of ginger ale or soda water served to rooms." —News item * * * * Shades of Sir John A. Macdonald, by bizarre little biblioklepts. What will they do next0 Well, kiddies, this is what comes of the yearning to be big-time, to be Manhattan, your day! Little good will it do you to cry in the frothy wake of Noel Coward and "Cocktails for two". (No relation, pet.) FANGS OF FURY Now we see the Ontario Legislature, a.s Master of the Hunt, leading the pack (and a most respectable pack it is) in full hue and cry after the miserable hotel bedroom drinker. Flogged from the pulpit, excoriated by the press, lambasted by women's, civic, and youth organizations, the bewildered mattress toper is being hemmed in by as nice an array of bared fangs as we have seen in many a long day. You bottle-toting hotel-bedroom drinker, you sink of iniquity amongst men, you seducer behind closed transoms, you slough, you morass of abandoned hope, you have had that there should be some expression of opinion from the silent majority. First, as Cliff Greer remarked, "It i.s valuable to receive such frank statements—when so few Communists will admit they believe in violent revolution." Many today, follow a creed without full realization of the method necessary to put it into effect. Where Fascism is in control only violent revolution can bring social justice, says Mr. Robeson and the Left tells us that it IS here, This opinion no doubt gives those who ( believe it true, the same moral sanction as the Palestine terrorists have in combatting the fascist Labour Govt. 'Fascist' is such a handy label, LOGIC Does the fact that many of Mr, R/s race have little political freedom in the south provide- a logical reason for depriving the remaining 90% of it in order to make all politically equal? It sounds rather like cutting off the patient's head to save his body from a spreading disease, instead of curing it. Dr. Basil Mathews, a student of Booker T. Washington, the fe.mous Negro educator, explains that; "The clash of races is not only between white and colored, but between many divisions within each color." Ho believes that the solution is more difficult than just the 'sudden and complete opening up of freedom to everyone.' To some, the simple expedient of w.iving one bnnner as a cure-all, appeals. How often has revolution shown that might is right only as long a.s the coercive power icriv.in.s? responsible government, one which demands democratic rights but refuses to perform the duties which the exercise of those privileges requires, viz: the duty to relinquish control if they are rejected by a majority. Remember, that once in' power, a change can only be effected then by further violence. Advocates of this method must be prepared not only for one, but for TWO revolutions. FALLACY Another interesting fallacy is often taken for granted. We are told, usually by those who called it an 'Imperialistic' war until officially briefed by the Soviet entry in 1941, that we fought this last war against Fascism. I am sure that if the participants analyse their reasons, they will agree that we fought against DICTATORSHIP and then because it was an aggressive dictatorship, which directly threatened our freedom. Had Germany honoured her pact with the Soviet Union, we might also have been fighting a Communist dictatorship, which Mr. Robeson, who ought to know, admits to be ■ n control there. Then our interests would have been clear and we would have required no urging to 'play along'with 'Britain, to use Mr. Washerman's expression. This alliance did leave communists in Allied countries temporarily with a defence for Soviet policy and one wonders, if the treaty had not been broken, whether their stand, would have been another reversal to Ihe 'pre-invasion of Russia' altitude. How many of us with any sort of democratic heritage are willing to accept the arbitrary choice of a Should we confuse self-preservation Dictatorship of the Right OR of the with tolerance and permit any group , Left? Let us honestly and openly which advocates dictatorship to cp- ; reject both evils and make our orate on the campus?

Although it has had no physical casualties and ha.; been carried on through sporadic outbreaks in prii'.i. the light lies nevertheless been a crucial one. The reference is. of course, to the current Medical Muddle, and the .spirited drive for a medical faculty at UBC being conducted at UBC. So many red herrings have been ti ssed about since the pre-meds opened, their campaign for education in the Spring of 1946, that the whole thing would make a .substantial fish soup, NO ELBOW ROOM The very latest fish was stirred into the pot by our Provincial Minister of Education, Dr. George M. Weir, when he suggested that the new medical college be established in Fairview, practically on the spot where UBC was located before the students decided that they didn't out to Point Grey in 1922. Not that there is any sentimental objection to the Fairview site. Nor are we hinting that if the medical school and the medical centre and the Normal School were all confined to tho three-acre Normal School grounds, that in a very, very short time they would outgrow the "three or four large huts" so casually mentioned by Dr. Weir, That is, if the medical centre i.s going to develop as il is hoped it will. (Which i.s what the 'PMUS spokesman' probably meant when lie suggested that the (Yirn be dragged back to Fairview too.) Ol R OBJECTIONS No. What we object to is the Weir conviction that the Vancouver General Hospital is the id;al training- ground for medical students. Eight top-notch American medical men paid a visit to our city last fall, to look into the question. Their unbiased report, which apparently Dr. Weir never heard of, condemned the VGH as completely inadequate for such a purpose. Why doesn't someone have enough elbow-room and trekked | tell Dr. Weir the facts, to represent the Chanel No, 5, the Daimler and the Kentucky Derby of the world of booze.

Page 3 Letters To The Editor PLEA OF A CZAR Dear Sir: A week has past since you, Mr. James scared me into a gopher hole; now at last I have gained courage to crawl out and answer you. I still can not realize why myself, among others, are called "entertainment czars"; perhaps it is because some of us receive $60 per month as a result of entertaining Nazis. However, I assure you, Mr. James, that many of us who organize various clubs give much of our own time and money merely for the pleasure of knowing that those who attended our clubs are getiiig the best we can give them. As for being wicked, I may say, Mr. James, that I attend a church that is tolerant enough to allow culture to be propagated, and am not a pagan as you infer. In conclusion, Mr. James, please realize that club organizers are merely normal human beings. JOHN W. BARGUS Symphonic Club SET IN RED ■To whom it may concern: My drafting set has been taken from desk 51 in Applied Science 208. I don't like to get down on my knees to anybody, but fellow, I need that set and need it badly. I am married, have two children, and am trying to attend University on the government allowances, and that's not easy. I just haven't the eighteen dollars to buy a new drafting set. All the instruments have the knobs painted red, my name is in india-ink on the felt and my address and phone number are on a sticker inside. Please phone, mail it to me, or just leave it at the AMS Office. There will be no questions asked—all I 'ivant is my drafting set. REX MERRITT FRANCO GARBLED Dear Sir: In my recent letter to The Ubyssey I wished to suggest that the existence of Spanish fascism depended on a continued reactionary foreign policy on the part of tha U.S. Unfortunately the printer garbled the word "Franco" and my point was lost. I was in no way defending the Russian system. Indeed I consider Com- \ munism as it is at present an extremely bad thing. But does this hatred of totalitarianism and regimentation cause me to exult over the virtues of capitalism? The latter has bequeathed to us only a fluctuating economy and a series of disastrous wars. Glorification of individuality and freedom has led to monopoly and injustice. As I see it, we can combine the virtues of the two systems -—the planning that has proved so successful in the USSR and the personal freedom which we have here in Canada. Our solution would seem to lie in a social system such as is exemplified by Sweden, New Zealand and our own Saskatchewan. J. G. DARLING.

The course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Architecture and requires five years' study after entering the Faculty of Applied Science. BASIS FOR STUDY Five years after Senior Matriculation is the standard length of courses in Architecture at all leading schools in England, Canada and the United States. Basic training in mathematical, physical and architectural principles is provided in the first three years of the course, while the last two years are devoted to studies and research of a more professional character.

In one year the Canadian Nickel industry paid over six million.dollars to Canadian railroads for freight. Much of this money was used to pay Canadian railwaymen's wages. Every year Canadian railroads buy equipment con taining Nickel. Tons of Nickel go into locomotives, and freight and passenger car frames, because Nickel Alloys are tough, string, rust-resistant.

Page 4 Inter A's Make Hoopla Finals Varsity Inter A's battkd their way into the finals of the V & D Basketball League, when they downed Meralomas Thursday night at King Ed Gym, by a 42-31 count. In a rough and tumble fracas, that really was a fracas, the collet" cagers walked over Meralomas in their second game of the semis, and assured themselves of playoff position. Also assuring Varsity of a none-tco-ensy final series, Arrows soundly did in Tookes in the third game of their semi series, to the tune of a 37-21 count, Varsity started off slowly as usual, and the 'Loma quintet took full advantage of this little quirk, Harry Hastings kept 'Lomas in the game, and ran in a quick six points before Varsity had a chance to counter. Once the Blue & Gold mob commenced to perambulate however, they proceeded to walk away with the ball game. THREE POINT LEAD When the half-time whistle sounded, Varsity walked of! the hardwood courts with a 3 point lead tucked under their belts. Starting the second half with a new string, coach Pomfret was soon forced to substitute his whole first string, before these disorganized studes managed to take the game. With the fust string back on the floor, the students started to percolate in a big way, running up a ten point lead which they never relinquished.

If the Birds drop this afternoon's contest they still have another chance at the silverware next week when they meet Victoria Crimson Tide in the Island city. THREE LINE STRONG Big power of the Blue and Gold, and chief threat to the Leos, this afternoon will be the three quarter line, which will see Bud Spiers, in his second Bird game of the year, holding down the five eighths slot, Ho will be ably supported in the line by such stars as Russ Latham, Don Nesbit, Doug Reid, and a fresh addition to the McKechnie cup games, speedy Jack Armour. Johnny Wheeler will as usual hold tho all important scrum half position. The remainder of the backfield will be made up by Bill Dunbar, who more than proved himself master of the position in last weeks game with Victoria, and by Hilary Wotherspoon in reserve. MORRIS LEADS FORWARDS Captain of the squad, Barry Morris, will be in charge of the fast breaking forward line, which will include Harvey Allen, Al Carlyle, Marshall Smith, Hart Crosby, Geoff Corry, Keith MacDonald and Barney Curby. To win today, Haines' squad is banking on the same tactics that ran up 34 points in the first game. Speed, team-work and the good condition of the players is expected to be the undoing of Art Dodd's Lions, when the Birds take the field at Stanley Park, Whether or not they win this afternoon, Thunderbirds will travel to Victoria next weekend as the main attraction of the invasion, which will see fsur UBC teams and the Majorettes in action.

AQUASTARS, PUGET SOUND VIE FOR HONORS TONIGHT Saturday night is the big night for UBC's swim team. Not to be outdone by their brother Thunderbirds on the maple courts, the aqua-Birds are swimming tonight in one of the biggest meets to date against the College of Puget Sound team at Crystal Pool. * Soccer Squads InWeekendGames Tonight's meet with the CPS swimmers has all the promise of being a close one, right from the opening gun Few sports can be predicted as accurately en the basis of past performances as can swimming, for individual splash times seldom vary more than one tenth of a second over a period of two weeks. Last time the two aggregations of aquamen met, UBC went down by a scant four points. Thus the new meet will take the iorm of a revenge contest on the part i. f the 'Birds, Number one hope, among tire Thunderbird swimmers is versatile Jim Hawthorne, a through-and-through "swimmer's swimmer" who trains hard and has results to show for his efforts. Another man to watch will be smooth and powerful Don Morrison, UBC's 200-yard sprinter. New to the ranks of the team is Bob Whitlam, a sprint swimmer who has boosted greatly the team's chances of a victory over tho American visitors. Out of last Wednesday's practice was one of the teams trump cards, Hal Brodie. An injury to his toe had beached him but it is hoped that Brodie will be rarin' to go by starting time at 8:00 tonight. Brodie, a freshman on the campus, has consistently proven himself to be UBC's outstanding sprinter and his times are expected to be near-record as he parts the foam in three different 50-yard sprints. Also on the program for tonight are three events between UBC's strong women's team and a women's team from the YMCA. Their events will be a 50-yard backstroke, ?.00-yard them each tint After last week's twin setbacks in the form of two tie games, the Varsity soccer team will be out to overcome South Hill's 2-point lead when they tackle the up-and-coming Vancouver United squ.td this afternoon at Powell Street grounds. On the upper stadium field, UBC's blue shirts will go against New Westminster Legion in the day's only campus sport event. Th; Varsity squad will be understaffed this week with Stu Todd out of the city for the weekend. Out of action are Stan Nicol and Dave Thompson, doubtful starters due to leg injuries incurred in last weekend's doubleheader. TWO WEEKS OFF This will mark the last league game for two weeks, with both teams invading Victori i next Saturday, Varsity to meet the powerful Wests and UBC to tackle HM.CS Naden, Imperial cup competition is slated to begin th; second week in March ': his cup signifies supremacy of the Vancouver and District L:ague.

CHARLTON & MORGAN LTD. 657 Granville MArine 0737 'Bird Team Tackles Loggers In Crucial Contest Tonight UBC's fighting Thunderbirds continue their two gamy feud with the Loggers of Puget Sound Ionian m the locals' most crucial hoop series to date. Prior to this pair of games, the first of which wjs played last night, both teams were tied for top place in the standings, along with the Idaho Coyotes and the Linfield Wildcats. Until last weekend, every hoop mogul on the coast was giving the nod to the Idaho Coyotes as Conference winners, for the casaba men from the land of the spud were boasting eight, wins with nary a loss. Then the Coyot;s dropped two road contests to the Linfield Wildcats at McMinnville. Oregon and then, .slightly rattled, journeyed to Salem to lose a pair of games with the Willa- m.-ttj Bearcats. Three rousing cheers immediately issued from the ranks of the Thunderbirds. the Wildcats and CPS Loggers, for the three teams tied in second place had little hope of hitting top spot until the unexpected Idaho downfall. JOINS THE THRONG Thus it was that Idaho joined the ever-growing throng of those with eight wins and four losses in the books. And thus it is that every point counts in this weekend's pair of contests on the UBC campus, the last for the local hoopstersi Next tell-tale conference battles get under way on Monday and Tuesday nights when the Idaho crew plays hosts to the lowly Pacific Badgsrs in two tussles the homo team is favored lo win. But whatever happen., in these windup contests, PNAV Daskel'uull f.ns will long be shaking thiir heads over the 1947 season when four teams wound up on top spot with but two games each to play. Gym Club Boosts Interfaculty Do Five University groups have already vntered three-man teams in the Inter-Faculty Gjmnastic Competition sponsored by the UBC Gym Club scheduled for Friday, March 14 at 8 p.m. in the gym.
