SI.\nGymnasium Committee Presents\nPlan to Secure Building Fund\nlover slnoe last summer the Students' Council has been working quietly on tho gymnasium question, nnd\nthe results ot Its work are now forthcoming. During the summer of 1926,\na committee was Investigating the\niirospect of a campaign to raise funds\nor a gymnasium and Women's Union\nBuilding (It should he noted that the\nwomen were conducting a campaign\ntoe previous year for their building,\nbut stopped to co-operate on the larger project) and this committee recommended that a campaign was not\npossible since a drive for the endowment of a Chair of Home Economics\nWaa being conducted by an organisation outside the University. Subsequent observation of this drive Indicates the impossibility of a student\ncampaign for a considerable time.\nA scheme was then drawn up whioh\nIs embodied In the following letters,\nand negotiations started with the\nBoard of Governors and the Provincial Government.\nOctober 19, 1926.\nChairman and Members,\nBoard of Governors,\nUniversity of British Columbia.\nGentlemen:\nAt a meeting ot the Building Committee of the Students' Council held\nn Tuesday, October 19th, the following resolution was passed:\nWhereas the Provincial Government\nare unable to construct either a\nGymnasium or a Women's Union\nBuilding, and said buildings apparently will not be erected except by some\naction of the atudent body.\nAnd whereas a public campaign to\nerect such buildings is not possible\nbecause of the present drive for the\nfoundation of a Chair of Home Economics at tbe University,\nAnd whereas the erection of a\nGymnasium would aid the establishment or a course in Physical Education in due course,\nAnd whereas such buildings are urgently required by the students of the\nUniversity.\nTherefore be It resolved:\nThat a Gymnasium be built of semipermanent construction on a permanent foundation having an estimated\nlife of sixty years,\nThat a Women's Union Building of\nsemi-permanent construction be erected having an estimated life of fll'ly\nyears.\nThat the sum of ninety thousand\ndollars, necessary to construct such\nbuildings, be obtained as follows:\nThe student body to obtain a loan\not ninety thousand dollars from the\nProvincial Government through the\nBoard of Governors of the University;\nsuch loan to bear four and one-half\nper cent, interest, and to be repaid ln\nfifty equal annual installments of four\nthousand, five hundred and fifty-four\ndollars each.\nThe amount of this annual Instalment to be met by an increase of the\nAlma Mater fee from seven dollars to\nten dollars; which Increase with our\npresent enrollment of 1528, would give\nan amount of four thousand five\nhundred and eighty-four dollars, over\nand above the present Alma Mater\nrevenue.\nRespectfully submitted,\nSigned by the\nChairman of Building Committee.\nJ. C. OLIVER, President. A. M. S.\nATTENTION!\nWomen's Undergraduatea\nIn spite of the unfortunate conflict In dates between the Women's Undergraduate Society\nBridge and the McKechnie Cup\nRugby Game, It Is hoped that the\nwomen of the University and\ntheir friends will give as much\nsupport as possible to their Society. Tea will be served from f>\np.m. for the moderate sum of 25\ncents, and all girls who attend\nthe game are urged to adjourn to\nthe Winter Garden for tea. Come\non girls, and bring your friends;\nlt will be a fine chance to talk\nover the victory!\nOctober ID, 1020.\nChairman,\nHoard of Convenors,\nUniversity of British Columbia.\nDear Sir:\nIn explanation or the formal resolution which has been presented to you\ntonight, we wish to explain further\nthe financial scheme embodied therein.\nIt was felt that future student\nbodies should carry some of the burden Involved In the construction of\nthese buildings; therefore we are asking for a long term loan. The rate of\nInterest Is low, but since the security\nis the enrollment of the University,\nbacked by the right, of the Board to\ncollect fees, we feel that it is not unreasonably low, especially since the\nproject Is In the nature of a Government undertaking.\nAny repairs and maintenance would\nbe taken care of by the certain increase In numbers or the student\nbody In the future coupled with the\nfact that the maintenance for the flrst\nfive years would be negligible.\nThe operation ot the buildings will\nonly entail a slight additional cost to\nthe existing University services of\nthe Power House, and could readily\nbe recovered from rentals obtained\nfor the use of the Gymnasium for\ngames and the Women's Union Build-\n.IK for Social Functions.\nin conclusion, we wish to state that\nthis report Is of a preliminary nature\nonly, and that the figures given are\nconservative estimates and not actual\nprices. We only desire to obtain the\nattitude of the Board of Governors on\nthe general scheme before proceed-\n.ng to any further details.\nYours truly,\nJ. C. OLIVER,\nPres., A. M. 8.\nIt was soon apparent that the Gov-\nrnment could take no action until\ntoe Legislature sat and recent communication indicates that the plan has\na chance of adoption. The Board of\nGovernors are .now discussing the\nquestion of raising the Alma Mater\nfee, if such is the wish of the Alma\nMater Society the Initiative, In thla\nregard, resting with the students.\nAs a result, the student body will\nbo asked on March !\u00C2\u00BBth to authorize\nan Increase of $3,00 to the present\n$7.00 Alma Mater fee, for the express\npurpose of erecting >\ gymnasium, If\n(he money can be borrowed from the\nProvincial Government.\nIt would appear that this is our only\nopportunity for a gymnasium since a\npublic campaign for the necessary\n,590,000 could not be other than a\nfailure at this time and the University is too young to expect such a\nlarge endowment. In addition, the\nburden would fall on succeeding student generations as well as the present one, resulting in a more equitable\nllstrlbutlon of the cost of this benefit.\nCanadian Ruggers\nto Meet Meralomas\nThe big game of the Intermediate\nCanadian Rugby League Is scheduled\nfor to-morrow afternoon In McBrlde\nPark, when Varsity meets the Meralomas.\nVarsity has beaten the Meralomas\nonce, but it must be Admitted that\nluck bad much to do wtth the result.\nSince that game too the Meroloman\nhave strengthened their lineup considerably by the addition of several new\nmen. The club has been practising\nregularly and should he a very hard\nteam to beat. The Moralomas are experienced players ami can be depended\nupon to put up a really hard scrap.\nThe Varsity team, however, is not\ngotng to give the game away free. The\nBlue and Oold team Is Improving constantly, practising every morning. The\nsquad Is a very strong one.\nAltogether there Is every Indication\nof a close game wtth a fair chance of\na Varsity victory. If Varsity win tomorrow lt has the league cinched. It\nVaraity loses a playoff will be necessary. Under these conditions the whole\nteam will work hard. Come on out,\nCanadian Rugby fans.\nWOMEN TO DEBATE\nWITH C.P& MONDAY\nOn the evening or Monday, March\n7lb, lu the University Auditorium the\nCollege or Puget Sound and U. 11. C.\nwill engage In verbal battle. The\ncause of this wordy dispute Is: \"Resolved that MuhmoIIiiI has evolved the\nbest form of government in Continental Europe at the present day.\"\nThe College ol Puget Sound team\nwill urrlvc here Monday morning.\nMiss Mildred Hawksworth, the lender\nof the team, has an enviable reputation as an Inter-Collegiate Debater.\nThis will he her third year ln such\ncontests. She debated against U. O.\nC. Inst spring and proved herself exceedingly capable both ln thought and\ndelivery. Miss Lillian Burkeland, the\nother member or the C. P. 8. team,\nmot our team last year In Tacoma.\nThese girls will encounter stiff opposition from ouv women's team here.\nMiss Kay Baird, the leader, debated\nagainst C. P. 8. last year, and has\nbuilt up for herself a forensic reputation that Is of a high standard. Miss\nMargaret O'Nell Is a new-comer to\nthe ranks of the Women's Literary\nSociety this year, but judging trom\nher performance at the try-outs she\nshould be Impressive. The U. B. C.\nteam will attempt to show that Mussolini's government Is abominable and\ntyrannical and the sooner overthrown\nthe better.\nAway Debaters\nThe U. B. C. team which travels to\nTacoma consists of Misses Jean Tolmie and Alice Weaver. Miss Tolmie\nor \"Jean\" as she is popularly called,\nwill play the leading role. She Is the\nmost energetic and brilliant or undergraduate women debaters. She is\nthe only woman In this University\nwho has ever attained the distinction\not having taken part ln three Inter-\nCollegiate contests,\nMiss Alice Weaver Is well-known\nfor her forensic talents and was a\nmember of last year's team which almost debated against the College of\nthe Pacific. Last year she served on\nthe Women's Literary Society, and\nthis year she has been elected President of that organization. It Is under\nthe auspices of that society that the\nDebate is being held.\nTickets for the debate are 25c, and\nmay be procured from any member of\nthe Women's Literary Society, or at\nthe door next Monday evening.\nSenior Braves Hold\nHeap Big Pow-wow\nOn the evening of the second day\nof the third moon, there assembled\nwtth great rejoicing all the braves\nand maidens of the Illustrious Nation\nof '27. For had not epistles been sent\nout far and wide, summoning all members of the three tribes to gather together In Joyful celebration before the\nfinal Judgment Day? Even from four\ncorners of the campus they came, warlike braves from the tribe of Science,\npeaceful tillers of the soil from the\ntribe of Arglcultuie, am! many braves\nand maidens, bearing much wisdom\nfrom the tribe of Arts.\nAnd so they gathered together at\nthe appointed place, called the Winter Garden, every brave bearing the\nhead-dress of his tribe, while the\nmeeting place was adorned with the\ntribal blankets and trophies of the\nchase\u00E2\u0080\u0094also the war canvas which\nhad borne them over the Great Water\nfrom the Point called Grey. Many\nweve the dances performed by the\nbraves and maidens, Inspired by the\nheating on the tomtoms by warriors\nof the tribe of Lee, Lest their\ntongues should become parched, much\ndrink wus provided, while food of\ndiverse kinds waa devoured hy all,\nparticularly by the warriors of tho\ntribe of Science. The Grand March\nof the Nation of '27 was led hy two\nof the chiefs in full war paint. Much\ndignity was lent to the occasion by\nthe presence of the following of\ngreat, wisdom: Pres. and Mrs. L. 8.\nKllnck, Dean and Mrs. J. M, Turnbull,\nDean and Mrs. H. T. J. Coleman, Dean\nand Mrs. F. M, Clement, Dean M. L.\nBollert, Dr. and Mrs. T. C. Hebb, Miss\nMable Gray, Dr. and Mrs. G. G. Sedgewick, Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Moe.\nMcKECHNIE CUP FINAL GAME\nTO BE STAGED TO-MORROW\nTomorrow afternoon the rugby toam\ngoes Into action for the last time this\nseason, the fate of the McKechnie\nCup being decided by this tussle. Last\nSaturday In a gamo replete with\nspectacular playing, the teum staged\na thrilling last minute come-back to\ndefeat Vancouver 12-8, this being\nthe flrst time In three years that\nVarsity has beaten the Rep. This\nvictory tied the series as Vancouver\ndefeated Varstly in tho first game ot\ntho seuson and each team has defeated Victoria.\nThe crowd at to-morrow's game may\nbe bigger than last Saturday's, but it\nwould be utmost Impossible tor it to\nbe more enthusiastic than the nine\nhundred frenzied students who gave\nsuch uproarious encouragement to the\nSpring Production\nNears Perfection\nThe time draws near when \"Tbe Romantic Young Lady\" will appear before her long-expectant audience. Miss\nFrances Dickie, costume convenor, has\nbeen searching the most exclusive ot\nVancouver's shops for bats and gowns\nin which Miss Dorothy Pound, as Ro-\nsarto, will flit through Sierra's most\namusing ot comedies. Nothing has\nbeen spared In the way of costuming\nto make this the most successful play\nhitherto produced. Even the gentlemen ot the cast will be seen attired In\nthe latest Spring modes.\nRealising tbe assured success of the\nplay, the Club will present It In Vancouver for four nights, this year:\nMarch 16-19. And It has acted wisely,\nfor everyono trom the flapper freshette to the sophisticated senior will\nwatch with bated breath the series of\nadventures which befall Rosario, the\nlittle Spanish girl, durlg the unfolding\nof her very charming love-story.\nMiss Honor Kldd will delight her\naudiences once more in a character\nsomewhat similar to that which she\ntook last year. As Maria Pepe, the\nquarrelsome old servant of the family,\nMiss Kldd will occasion a large share\nof the merriment of the evening. Her\nspecial care, Rosarlo's grandmother\n(Alice White) Is woll-fttted to advise\nher niece, having a past containing\nthree husbands. Rosario, In fact, Is\nshowered with advice; from Maria\nPepe, from her friend Irene, the pretty\nstenographer (Madge Rankin), and\nfrom her three experienced young\nbrothers (Bill Buckingham, David\nBrock and Jack Nash.) Nevertheless,\nshe manages quite independently to\nbring to a satisfactory close her adventures with the mysterious \"Apparition,\" a part ably played by Mr. Bush\nGibbs.\nTickets are on sale, prices $ .70 and\n81.00, and may be obtained from Players' Club members or from the Auditorium Box Office every noon hour\nfrom 12.10 to 1.00 p.m.\nlighting fifteen. No email part was\nplayed by the rousing support accord*\ned in the last few minutes of tho\ngamo, Inspiring and encouraging tho\nteam to turn an 8\u00E2\u0080\u00944 defeat into a\nsensational tast minute victory.\nMegaphones or no megaphones, every. .\none who safely survived the thrills\nof that struggle, will to-morrow afaltt\nraise clamorous requests for mora\ntouch-downs.\nThe teams are suffering slightly\nfrom minor injuries sustained in tho\nlast encounter. Mahon and Morris\nhave sprained ankles and Willis a\nstrained back. The fact that Noble\nhas the measles Is probably no news,\nbut news that two Vancouver stars\nhave contracted the same malignant\ndisease may be slight consolation,\nDespite quarantine, the appearance\not the Bllm form of Noble to-morrow\nshould occasion little surprise, for\nTiny declares that while he can havo\nthe measles any time, he can only\nplay in a provincial ohamplonshlp\nonce In a year. Sinolalr, running\nmate of Noble may also slide into\naotlon to make a farewell appearance.\nThe rest of the team are aU in exeat,\nlent condition and will be out to\nbetter last weeks score. While tbe\ngame was rough on Varsity, tbe Van*\ncouver injured lint is much higher due\nto the smashing Varsity tackling.\nInjuries do not handicap Vancouver\nto the same extent, however, for thoy\nhave sixty flrst class senior players\nto draw upon for the Rep. team.\nRugby has received wonderful student support this year, attendance at\nthe big games surpassing all previous records. Twelve hundred Slid\nten students witnessed the Maori\ntussle, a very creditable turnout (rota\nfourteen hundred students. Over\nnine hundred saw each of the Van*\ncouver games while tho Victoria gam*\nthe week-end before exams attracted\nover five hundred hardy souls.\nWhether it is the excitement derived\nfrom the game, the marvellous improvement in the Varsity squad, the\nspectacular style of play of the teams\nor the reduced rate to students which\nattracts them to rugby when other\nmajor activities cry in vain for support, is hard to say, but whatever be\nthe attraction the team can promise\nthe crowd plenty of lt to-morrow.\nSupport from the stands will play\na big part and with a bumper crowd\nassured Chancellor McKechnie may\nagain obtain his heart's content by\npresenting his own cup to his own\nuniversity.\nNOTICE!\nImportant Alma Mator Meeting,\nWednesday noon, in the Auditorium.\nSubject to be dlsoussed:\n(1) Gymnasium.\n(2) Amendments to the Constitution to make possible the\nnew election programme.\nAt the meeting of the Students'\nCouncil on Monday, February 28th, important information was disclosed by\nthe President, Mr. John Oliver. He announced that the Board of Governors\nware willing upon two conditions to\nallow the construction of a gymnasium: first, the Province of B. C, must\nloan the University ninety thouoand\ndollars; secondly, the students must\nrepay this sum nt the rate of four and\none half per cent, yearly for tlfty\nyears.\nOf the amount, seventy-five thousand\ndollars would be used to erect the\ngymnasium, and the remainder, fifteen\nthousand dollars, would be used for\nthe Women's Building, Both structures would be frame, and therefore,\nsemipermanent, lt Is likely, however,\nthat each would have a solid concrete\nfoundation.\nQuite a revenue would be derived\nfrom the Gymnasium since most social\nfunctions would be held In lt. But this\nIncome would only cover the depreciation and maintenance of the buildings,\nand would not pay the Interest on\nthem which, roughly speaking,\namounts to four thousand five hundred\ndollars a year. Consequently, money\nmust be obtained In another way.\nOn March 9th, then, an Alma Mater\nmeeting will be called to discuss raising tho fees to ten dollars. If the students desire a gymnasium they must\npay for It; and the governors wish\nthem to draw up a resolution authorising a three dollar Increase,\nIt Is anounced by Mr. Dallas that\ntenders have been called for the erection of a Dressing Room, SO feet long\nand 30 feet wide, to be situated near\nthe flrehall, and to cost approximately\nthree hundred dollars.\nThe Council granted a request from\nthe Senior B basketball team for an\nadvance to pay for expenses Incurred\non a proposed trip to Kamloops. (This\nmoney Is, of course, promptly repaid,\nfor the journey Is profitable).\nTwenty-one dollars was allotted for\nthe purchase of a doson balls, and\nthree bats, to be used In lnter-class\ncompetitions.\nThe Interclass Track Meet will be\nheld on April 22nd, and not earlier,\ndue to conflict of dates.\n%\n4 rj\nthe REP and COP t /K7'\na,*\nn\nTHE UBYSSEY\nMarch 4$n. 1927\n.1^-' >\na?'\n\u00C2\u00BB*'\nlv\nlv\nUlltp HbyaBpy\n(Member of Paolflc Inter-Collegiate Press Association).\nIssued every Tuesday and Friday by the Student Publications Board of the\nUniversity of British Columbia, West Point Orey.\nPhone: Point Grey 1434\nIf ail Subscriptions rate: $8. per year.

We\nbelieve that, as ouob, they will prove interesting to our readers and\nwe refrain from any further comment upon them here. In our next\nnumber we will devote attention to them and the questions thoy raise.\nFrench Clubs to\nProduce Plays\nStudents are reminded that tickets\nwill shortly be on sale for the two\nFrench plays which are to be produced in the University Auditorium\nat the end of March.\nIn past years these productions\nhave always had great success, and as\ntickets are only 88c it is hoped that\na large number will take advantage\nof this opportunity ot testing their\nknowledge of French aad of seeing\nreally good acting.\nStudents taking part in the plays\nare members ot the three French\nClubs, \"La Causerie\", \"La Canadlen-\naeM, and \"J/Alouette.\"\nD'Aroy Marsh and Mildred Campbell take leading parts in a very\namusing old French farce, \"Maltre\nPierre Pathelln.\" Old-timers will remember that this was produced In\ntranslation a number of years ago by\nthe Players' Club.\nThe other play should prove very\npopular with the audience aa it Is a\nmodern French Comedy. \"Le Pacha\"\ndeals with the problems of a man\ntoo muoh Idolised by wife, mother\nand sisters. The dialogue Is short\nand the action is easily followed,\neven by one with only a slight knowledge of French. Norah Haddock, of\nMusical Society farce, has one of the\nchief roles in this play.\nTHE BOOK PRIZE\nA book prise of the value of $25,\nopen to all students of the University,\nwill be awarded for an essay on a\nspecial literary subject.

M.\nDr. Weir of the Faculty of Education addressed a very representative\naudience last Tuesday In Ag. 100. He\ndealt with the present outlook on\neducation. The definitions which\nDewey, Ruskln and Huxley had given\nto education were reviewed and it\nwas seen that Huxley in particular\nhad taken cognisance of physical,\nmental and moral needs.\nThe speaker mentioned olght necessary qualifications for leadership and\nsaid that eminent men such us Lloyd\nGeorge, Lincoln and Gladstone passed these ln varying degrees.\nIn closing, Dr. Weir entered a plea\nfor Junior High Schools In this province.\nHe said that by their establishment\nthe ago of college entrance would be\nraised. Thus the social Intelligence\nof the students would be brought Into\nproper relation with their mental and\nchronological age.\nBert Bailey or Arts '27 will be the\nspeaker next week. His subject will\nbe \"Religion on the Campus.\" Ag.\n100, next Tuesday at noon.\nMEN'S PARLIAMENT\nDISCUSSFRATS.\nThe merits and dangers of the local\nfraternities were the subject of acrimonious debate at Wednesday's meeting of the Students' Parliament. After\nthe smoke of battle had cleared away,\nIt was found that the House had\npassed a resolution that \"the Students'\nParliament shall recommend a thorough Investigation to be made by a\ncommittee elected by the Alma Mater\nSociety Into the existing fraternities of\nthe University of British Columbia,\nand that an efficient system ot their\ncontrol be put into force.\" This resolution was not construed to mean that\nthe Parliament disapproved of fraternities or that there was any specific\ncharge against them. There were certain tendencies, however, tn all fraternities that might bo detrimental to\nuniversity life if not controlled by n\ngoverning body.\nThe Government had a narrow\nescape when a resolution of \"no confidence\" was defeated by a majority of\ntwo votes. The resolution was based\nupon the government refusing to definitely state its policy concerning tho\nfraternity question.\nIt was decided that a Mock Parliament would be held ln two weeks time,\nat which members of the Women's\nLiterary Socloty could actively participate as M. Ps.\nSeniors May Found\na Scholarship Fund\nA meeting of the combined Senior\nclasses was held on Tuesday noon ln\nArts '100. A motion to the effect that\na draw be held for the banquet In\nthe usual way was adopted after some\ndiscussion, The chief business of the\nmeeting, dealing with the Valedictory\n(lift was then brought up. Three suggest Ions were considered, namely, thi;\nfoundation of a scholarship fund, the\nerection of a permanent notice bourd\nand the gift of something permanent\nto the Library, such as pictures depicting tho history of B. C. The first\ntwo propositions were well supported\nby various speakers. All seniors are\nasked to put some serious thought on\nthis matter and come prepared to\nmake a wise choice at the next meeting. Many consider that the Idea of\na scholarship gives an opportunity tor\nstarting something really worth while,\nwhile others consider the notice board\nto be of more general usefulness.\nEveryone must be out at the next\nmeeting.\nDEBATE\nThe King Edward High School has\ndefinitely agreed to meet the Freshman Clceros tn wordy warfare.

For instance, the\nStudents' Parliament believes that all\nthe limelight should not be played\nupon the groups that you have already\nselected but that it should have a\nshare of the glamor and glory, which\na front page editorial receives.\nYou call, sir, upon the Rooters' Olub\nto apologise for what you term \"a\nregrettable song-book.\" While hold-\ning no brief for this organisation, I\nfeel that your remark oannot pass\nunchallenged. During the Christmas\nvacation I carried one of the boohs\nacross the Dominion and had it reviewed by students from the universities of the prairie provinces. In tbelr\neyes our publication was the equal,\nand In some Oases the superior of\ntheir own. The conclusion I would\ndraw, Mr. Bdltor, is that you have\ntoo greatly limited your field for reform, and that it Is not only the\nU.B.O. but also the U. of A., U. of\nBask, and the U. ot Man., which need\nthe reviving force of your virulent\npen. One would imagine the \"regrettable\" fact to be that the \"song-book\"\nwas not edited by the editorial staff.\nYours sincerely,\nA. S. WHITELEY,\nArts '28.\nEditor, \"Ubyssey.\"\nDear Sir:\nYour invitation for correspondence\ncame to me through yesterday's editorial dealing in part with the\nRooters' Club. In this letter I shall\ntry to oblige you.\nYour flrst point Is In regard to\nTheatre Night. Due to certain unforeseen circumstances we are unable\nto stage one. We had hoped to\narrange one and will do so next year,\ndespite the fact that it does not meet\nwith your august approval. Did you\nget any official word from the Rooters'\nClub that there would be one?\nIn the second place, I am very sorry\nto hear that the Song Book does not\nmeet with your approval. Your predecessor gave It his official sanction,\nbut editors differ. By the way, the\nRooters' Club received a request tor\ntwenty copies of the Song Book from\na resident of Erlckson, B. C. The\nletter commences: \"I lately saw and\nadmired the book containing a fine\ncollection of songs.\" In view of these\ntwo comments I withhold apologies\nuntil I uni convinced that nn apology\nis due.\nThirdly, lie the megaphones. It\ngrieves me deeply to tell you that\nyou have heen misinformed. Neither\ndid the Hooters' Club make a request\nfor their purchase nor wtre they\nasked to do so. Tbe flrst we heard\nof the proposal wns through the\nminutes of that organization. Whether they are advisable or not we will\nnot argue here. I like your sentence\n\"evidently the students don't know of\nthe lucky circumstances that saved\nthem from some of the workings\nof this organisation.\" It reads like a\njury's report on Raffles & Co.\nFourthly. The following sentence\ncatches my eye: \"If the Rooters' Club\ncan think of nothing else but ways\nto spend the Alma Mater funds there\nIs no very good reason for its continued existence.\" Do you know, sir,\nthat exclusive of Rooters' hats, ribbons, etc., which pay for themselves,\nthe expenditure incurred by this olub\namount to about 816, which sum was\nfor pens, paper, paint, signs, eto.\nPossibly you would like to hear of\none of our \"Boy Scout\" deeds. Do\nyou remember the visit of the University of Alberta rugby team to this\ncity last fall? Well the Students'\nCouncil askod us If we would look\nafter entertainment for them. We\nagreed and arranged the following\nprogram: a danoe at Normal Oymn,\nSaturday night; a drive around the\ncity and out to the University, Sunday afternoon, and a dinner in the\nevening. Besides paying all expenses\nwe were able to turn over to Counoil\nthe sum of $42.50.\nThe Rooters' Club has practically\narranged for every pep meeting held\nIn the University in the past two\nyears. You consider theee meetings\nof doubtful advantage; we Judge their\npopularity by the student turnout.\nUntil such time as the attendance at\nthese meetings drop to ahout fifty persons or until the proximity ot exams\nforces us to close, I think it altogether likely that the Rooters' Club\nwill continue to stage them.\nWe frankly admit that the Rooters'\nClub Is not all that It might be, the\nblame ot which I take on myself, but I\ndo think Its usefulness warrants its\ncontinuance.\nIn view of the above points the\nRooters' Club considers your attack\nunfair and founded on Incorrect information, and we look forward to\nthe Inevitable editors note. As a\nspecial favor would you, ih that note,\nmake a few suggestions for the improvement of our workings? Or\nwould you Just sweep it out of existence?\nYours sincerely,\nWm. fl. THOMSON,\nPresident Rooters' Club.\nThe Editor \"Ubyssey\"\nDear Sir:\nDuring the paBt week or so, the\nUbyssey has been carrying on a campaign for criticism of anything and\neverything.\nThere is one thing I think should\nbe criticised, and that Is the use of\nthe \"Sky-Rocket\" yell at University\ngames. I have always understood\nthat this yell was In the nature of a\nreward for some rather exceptional\nplay or other achievement. If this Is\nso why Is It that the yell-leader calls\nfor a \"sky-rocket\" when an Injured\nUniversity player continues the\ngame? Surely tt Is not very sporting\nto reward a Varsity man tn such a\nway, when an opponent gets but a\nfeeble sound of liund-slapplng.\nI would like to hear what the yell-\nleader has to say about this.\nA.

I do not understand it\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nI don't, believe you have picked ou\nany other athletic teum to give them\nsuch an untruthful write-up.\nPrevious to the Okanagan tour, the\nSenior B. basketball team had received very little mention In your\ncolumns despite the fact thnt they\nhad won five consecutive league\ngames. I asked the sporting editor\nbefore we left If we might have some\nspace and he replied ln the affirmative. We got the write-up in Tuesday's Issue but it was tied to the end\nof a club.\nLet ua look at the point scores a\nmoment (which Is the only way Vancouver people are able to Judge the\ntour). In the first game we doubled\ntho score on Pentlcton 34\u00E2\u0080\u0094IB, In\nKelowna we lost by fi points, 13\u00E2\u0080\u009411,\nwhile the third game we won 38\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n25. Two wins and a 5-polnt toss\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand then our own paper greets us\nwith \"Raskothallers Defeatod on\nTour.\" And also with the following\n\"It In a hlackoye for Varsity basket'\nhall, when a small town of the hinterland Is able to give a drubbing to one\nof its best teams.\" It Is a black eye\nfor Varsity when a \"small town\"\narticle In Its offlclnl organ refers to\ntho Kelowna basketball team In such\nterms.\nFor this article I hold the sporting\neditor responsible and would soy to\nhim that these self-same towns of\nthe \"hinterland\" could give him a few\nlessons In fair play. Can he not give\nKelowna some credit; I am sure that\nhis article will please Okanagan\nbasketball fans. He Is evidently un-\nawnre of the strength of the Interior\nteams Last year they were able to\ndefeat Westminster Y and Rowing tf\nClub C. A week ago the same team\ndefeated Westminster Adanacs Senior A, 19\u00E2\u0080\u009414.\nI do not think that any criticism\nwhatsoever, on the exhibition of\nbasketball shown on the tour is Justified. The Varsity team held a practice in Pentlcton Thursday afternoon\nbefore their game in that tdwn. In\nKelowna a practice was held Friday\nmorning. That same afternoon the\nplayers refused an automobile tour\nand spent the afternoon ln bed resting for the game that evening.\nThroughout the tour the players behaved themselves in a manner befitting members of this Institution.\nBut it seems that anything that we\nmight have done to bring the University in touch with the people of tho\nOkanagan is undone by your report\not the trip, In which you slander the\nKelowna basketball team, one of tho\nfinest groups of men in the province.\nNor does the \"sporting\" editor appreciate tbe handicap, of three different gymnasiums, lighting systems and\nbaskets, nor the effect of a different\nsleeping place eaoh night. I should\nlike very much for you to explain the\narticle In your editor's note.\nRegretfully yours,\nWm. B. THOMSON.\nCapt. 8en. B. Basketball Team\nThe Editor, \"Ubyssey\"\nDear Sir:\n1 wish at thia time to answer your\nclarion call for material for your correspondence column.\nThe article in your last issue,\nheaded \"Let's Be Radicals,\" not being on the Muck Page, or over some\nperson's initials, must express, ln\npart, the point of view of the Pub\nlioations Board. Such being the case,\nI wish to take exception to several\nstatements. By scrapping and reorganising, at each mistake, no pro\ngress oan be made.\n\"Give a Bolshevist an idea, a lot of\nblood and thunder\u00E2\u0080\u0094etc,\" and he will\naccomplish wonders. Like fun, he\nwill! He gets tired before its time\nto start building up again. Being a\nBolshevist, you are using blood and\nthunder, (student funds and executive\nposition) to destroy the world, but\nthe Idea mentioned above, seems to\nbe lacking. No true Bolshevist has\nan Idea of his own, but this does not\nInterfere with the destroying part of\nthe program.\nI. am still of the opinion that the\nStudent's Council Is doing Its utmost\nfor the good of the college, hindered\nas it Is by such people as yourself.\nIf the Student's Council see fit to re-\nJeot some of your \"wild oats\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094sown\non stony ground\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094take it for what\nyou are asking for\u00E2\u0080\u0094destructive criticism In US most subtle form.\nAnother matter, which I found interesting In last issue, was the way\nin which your reporter dealt wtth the\nMusical Performance. I don't think\nthe lady responsible for the report,\nknows anything about music. It is\neasy to see that hor report, was biased\nby personal opinion, I.e. \"the charms\nof 'Clementine' were shown to their\nbest advantage.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Rot! Any person\nthat takes It upon themselves to Bay\nthat a solo was \"spoiled\" by a \"gesture;\" or that the piano solos were\nlacking in expression, can only be\ndecent enough to print their name.\nIt being your intention to continue\nyour policy of destructive criticism,\nplease tuke the trouble to print names,\nso that the proper persons get the\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Tcillt for helping I'.H.C. along to a\nbigger and better university.

The game, a playoff\nfor the city championship, is against\ntbe Canucks with whom tbe Varsity\nquintette is tied tor the leadership of\nthe city league.\nBach of these teams has lost one\ngame to the other, which shows how\nevenly matched the two squads are.\nThe girls say that the reason for their\ndefeat was lack of support\u00E2\u0080\u0094the right\nof any toam representing its Alma Mater.

It criticizes them because\nthey \"did NOT cheer the team as\nthey left the Held. They did NOT\nrush out and carry the players\t\naS the team deserved. They did NOT\ncome- forward ln a body to shake\nhands with those players who had\ndone so much for the University.\nThey did NOT stage a demonstration\nin front of the grand-stand, as befitting the occasion, or parade downtown tn their enthusiasm.\"\nIn the same Issue in which you\ncondemn Theatre .Nights as fiascos\nand \"pointless parades of college\n.spirit,\" and evince your august dislike of rugby games, there Is, published under your supervision, an exceedingly mushy a.id \"rah - rah\" type\nof poem entitled \"We'll Cop the Cup,\"\napparently written ln an endeavor to\narouse some of the enthusiasm which\nyou condemn so loudly and violently.\nI am quite aware that this article\nand poem were not written by your\naugust self, but they were published\nwith your consent and In exact contradiction of your latest policy as expressed in your editorial \"In Spite ot\nCouncil and Megaphones.\"\nIn your editorial itself you contradict yourself flatly.

On Monday,\nat dusk, they were practising on the\nrough waters of Coal Harbour. The\nboat was kept well in the sheltered\nwater, as the waves were very high.\nAlec Millar, the crew's regular stroke,\nwas absent through 111 health, and a\nsubstitute took his place. A few short\nstretohes were rowed at a low racing\nspeed. On Wednesday afternoon the\ncrew held a long practice. With coach\n\"Bimbo\" Sweeney following them on\nthe launch, they went almost to the\nHecond Narrows Bridge. The slow\nstroko was varied occasionally by\nbursts of racing: but moro practice\nwill bo required before the fast stroke\ncan be used without splashing and\nmaking the shell roll,\nDue to generosity of the Vancouver\nRowing Club, tho University now has\nthe use of some lapstreak \"fours.\" In\nview of this, the second Eight has been\nbroken up into two Pours, which will\nrow against the city club on March\n20th. This will also allow the Varsity\ncrew more time to use the \"Washing-\ntonla,\" which is the only eight-oared\nboat the University has at its disposal.\nFirst Soccer\naji \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0096\u00A0a\nNanaimo City will provide the opposition for the Varsity flrst soccer\nteam to-morrow afternoon, at Athletic\nPark, and the kick-off is timed for\n2.46 p.m. The Nanaimo eleven look\nlike champions. Tate and Edmonds,\ntheir goal-tender and full-back respectively have been selected to fill these\npositions on the Canadian All-Star\nteam which is to tour New Zealand.\nAnderson, however, Is no mean\ngoalie himself; and after Varsity's\nshowing against St. Saviors last Saturday, with a weakened line-up, the\nVarsity eleven, when aided by the\npresence of their regulars, should\ngive Nanaimo City a great game.\nMoreover, the Varsity players will be\nIn better condition for the game than\nthey were last Saturday. \"If the\nweather conditions are suitable for\nfootball\", said Manager John Liersch,\n\"Our team will make Nanaimo go\ntheir best, and they will have to look\nto their laurels If they Intend to win.\"\nThis prophecy will be backed by\nthe Varsity team, and It Is to be hoped, by a number of Varsity supporters\nat Athletic Park on Saturday. The\nrooters' Uno-up is not yet known.\nThe line-up ot the team will be:\nAnderson, Crute, Baker, Shields, Phillips, Ledingham, Wadlngton, Todd,\nGaudin, Duffel and Wright.\nSTUDENTS HUNG\naround last year until\nSUMMER EMPLOYMENT\nwas hard to find.\nWe osn employ Four Students\nwhose homes aro in the interior;\nalso Two (with oars preferred) In\nVancouver City,\nSee Notice Board and Write\nALUMINUM CO.
