Apparently he\ndidn't house them satisfactorily, or\nelse they decided to return South;\nanyhow they escaped and distributed themselves throughout the\nlocality.\nThe University, being resourceful, sent a detail of Science men\nover to nab a few for the Biology\nLab and ever since they (the frogs)\nhave been kept intact in a wire\ncage.\nAt the start of each term the\nBi in students (physiologists)\ncatch a few, and after anaethetlz-\ning them by pithing (deadening the\nnerve chord), they play around\nwith muscles and things.\nBefore they had this local supply,\nfrogs were Imported from Chicago.\nThe mortality was often 75% and\na dead frog isn't much good when\nTfoWvim\nVol XXVI\nVANCOUVER, B.C., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1943\nN\nMammy's Ready\nPiranis Play\nFor Varsity\nFriday Noon\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ACCLAIMED throughout Europe and the British Empire as\none of the greatest piano and violin ensembles of today, Max and\nLeila Pirani, parents of Varsity's\n15-year-old sophomore, Felix Pirani, are appearing at an LSE pass\nfeature concert this Friday.\nPirani, formerly a professor at\nthe Royal Academy of Music In\nLondon, is now the Director ot\nMusic at the Banff School of Fine\nArts.

We must\njustify these privileges.\"\nCOMBINATION\nPart of this justification is to so\nrevitalize the University that It\nwill become a dynamic force in\nthe community. The University is\na product of Its administration,\nfaculty, and students.\nWhat Is desired is a suitable\ncombination of these factors in\norder to produce that type of University which will adequately fulfill the needs of the community.\nAs Dr. Sedgewick has said, \"To\nmy mind the chief aim though not\nthe only one of \"higher education\"\nis to give a mature grasp of some\nimportant part of human thought\nand experience. Grasp, in my\nsense, means not only a thorough\nsurvey of a \"field\" or \"subject\",\nbut also a sense of its relation to\nthe rest of life and living. If a\ncollege course doesn't give It, It is\nvery truly a \"dead end\".\"\nTho IRAC will attempt te clarify\ncertain relevant problems by preparing for the Ubyssey a series ot\nanalysis of this University, its administration, and its students.\nBruce Yorke . . .\nThe following problems will be\ndealt with\u00E2\u0080\u0094the function of the\nUniversity in war-time, the lip\nservice to and non-application of\ndemocratic principles in campus\naffairs, student apathy to anything\nbul social activity, and the lack\nof genuine University spirit and\ntradition.\nGALLUP POLL\nEach analysis will be followed\nby a miniature Gallup Poll in\norder to classify student opinion.\nOnce student opinion has been\ncrystallized or focused it only remains for means at our disposal,\nsuch as the Students' Council, to\nput the results into effect wherever\npossible.\nMust Show\nPasses At\nFunctions\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 MORE than 275 people\nwould have attended the\nfirst mixer, sponsored by the\nWAC, if they had only\nbrought their passes. Some\nstudents had to be turned\naway because they neglected\nto present their passes.\nThe Council regrets this action\nbut the rule is that anyone not\nhaving his pan cannot be admitted\nto a Varsity function.\nAll affairs held on the campus\nor sponsored by the University\nare closed functions, that Is, all\ncouples must have one member a\nUBC student.\n\"The reason for this,\" stated Bob\nWhyte, president of the Students'\nCouncil, \"is that on several occasions in the past incidents have\noccured where outsiders, who are\nnot under the jurisdiction of the\ndiscipline committee, have created\ntrouble and the students themselves have been blamed.\"\nSEVERE DISCIPLINE\nIt was also learned that, on Saturday night certain students handed their passes around. \"This type\nof offence is very serious,\" said\nWhyte, \"the pass system is based\non the honesty and integrity of the\nstudents. There is no need for\nstudents to hand their passes a-\nround. But if it happens again the\npeople concerned will be severely\ndealt with by the discipline committee.\"\nThe Council is aware of the restriction placed on the student and\nthey wish to give the student as\nmuch freedom as possible but it is\nthe rule that the primary admittance to a University affair is the\nstudent pass.\nEvery effort has been made to\ndistribute passes to the students\nbut the responsibility for getting\nthe pass rests with the student.\nPasses can be obtained from the\nAMS office In the Brock.\nGreen Roomers Emote\nFor Fans.

Little Joe has\nfrequented our pleasant campus\nfor many years. Last year was ono\nof his best seasons according to the\nway he and everyone else looks\nat the matter.\nDespite ill winds, stormy weather, wet weather and ten inches of\nsnow which nearly stumped him\nlr> February, Little Joe carried on\nalong with some of his energetic\ncompanions and students.\ngames of basketball. Joe was kept\nduring the summer by Kappa Sigma when ever he had a mood for\nbasketball lore. This team of\ncourse has headed the league in\nthat department.\nNext to basketball, Volleyball\ntook most of Little Joe's attention.\nIt was quite a treat to watch Joey\nduring some of his games tossing\nthe little ball back and forth over\nthe net to the greatest glee of all\nconcerned. Yes, Joe had quite a\nside football this ypar he has a\nchest on himself like a student\ncoming out of an orchard or a\ncorn patch. Yes, sir, a great year\nfor Touch Football is In store.\nJoe won't even give a hint who he\nia going to give the honours to\nthis year. It seems that that is his\nparticular secret.\nOf course, the big moment hi\nJoey's life right now ls the Impending Cross Country race early\nnext month. This is probably the\nbirds that night. Intends to get another bag this season, too. Then\nhe started to tell me about the one\nhe had last night.\nOne of the pleasantest nights\nthat Joey has every year Is usually\nspent in the Y.M.C.A. Besides that\nhe always gets wet to his full extent. In swimming not even a student can outdo him in enthusiasm.\nNo, sir, he would not miss this\nnight even if he had to have his\nfun in the lily Pond.\nAltogether, last ycar was a good\nyear for Joe Intramural. To back\nup his belief he says that you\nshould have seen the large number\nof bright and gleaming cups that\nwere handed out a few weeks ago\nto all the lads who helped him\nout during the season.\nAs usual, basketball was one of\nhis star sports. Little Joe Intramural spent two and three per\nlods a week, each and every week,\nwith the boys in the gym at a few\ngood year as far as volleyball was\nconcerned. Expects quite a good\nyear this year, too. As for that,\nhe told us with a very bright\ngleam In his eye that this year is\ngoing to be much better than last\nyear in all sports.\nWhen the Volleyball season was\nover Little Joe announced that he\nconsidered himself a full cousin of\nany Xi Omega.\nThe third full time occupation of\nJoe Intramural is Touch Football.\nBecause there is not as much out-\ntime when Joe gets to bed about\nseven, o'clock. He confided that it\nwas getting a little tough to keep\nup with the gang now that he was\nnot getting younger and the pace\nwas getting a little faster than It\nused to be.\nLast year Joe Intramural had\none gala night of Badminton. After waiting for several weeks for\nthe snow to go away Little Joe\ncame up to the gym swinging mad.\nAlthough it was out of hunting\nseason he literally slaughtered the\nAnd then Joe owns a bat and a\nball.

Five minutes later Bert\nRush, brother of Jack, ex-varsity\nsoccer star, tied the score on a\nhard drive. Bert had been up all\nnight welcoming a stranger into\nthe world.

It is believed that this goal was scored by the\nopposition.\nIt took some pluck for the players of both teams to play Saturday.\nRain drenched every one and every thing. The men slid on practically every part of their anatomy\nfromr one end of the field to the\nother In pursuit of an equally\nslippery ball. In spite of this, however, good ball was played.\nManager* Maury Glover again\nexpressed his belief that he had\ntwo play-off teams on the campus.\nThere is nothing in the way of the\ntop of the league seems to be the\nfeelings of both teams.\nThe performance of the newly\norganized players has brought the\ngreatest pleasure to the managers\nand coaches. These players are\nrecognized as equally capable\nplayers but had failed to play as a\nunit before coming to the campus.\nCo-Ed Sports\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 HELEN Matheson announced\nlast week the line-up for the\nGrass Hockey Club's first team.\nCentre forward position has not\nyet been filled, but with this exception the team appears to be\nshaping up very well and is expected to give a good showing in\nthe coming league games.\nThe team.

Coach Harry Franklin has\nbeen organizing the team for the past week, and although\nthe boys are not yet in top condition, they plan to be ready\nfor their first contest and give the Higbie boys a good game.\nAmong the players who have been turning out for this\nInter A team are John Olliver, Lawrence Lawson, Jim Bryant, Bill Matheson, Maurice Ingram, Hubert Gabrielse, Jack\nClimie, A. Bain, Arnold Granius, Harry Kabush, Marty\nMartin, Bob Weber, Inglis Edwards, and Reg Racine.\nTonight, the V and D minor leagues get under way at\nthe King Ed Gym, starting at 7:30. These include the Intermediate B teams and the Intermediate A .teams. Altogether\nthere are eight Inter A entries, and the Inter B's are practically numberless. However, the brand of basketball is\namazingly good, in fact, some of the best Inter B teams could\ngive a Senior A team a good game.\nMeanwhile, the two other Varsity hoop squads are still\ngetting into shape for their opening contests. Tbe Frosh\nInter A team practiced last night, and Coach Bruce Yorke\nworked them hard in the fundamentals: dribbling, passing,\nlong shots, and set-ups.\nThe Senior A Thunderbirds also had a good practice\nlast night. Coach M. L. Van Vliet is gradually whipping the\nplayers into condition. Several members are already in shape.\nIt looks as if Sandy Robertson will again be Varsity's scoring\nthreat. Art Stilwell and Ron Weber are the smooth ball-\nhandlers. Don Woodhouse and Gordie Sykes, the key-men,\nwill help in running up Varsity's score. Veterans Art Johnson and Harry Franklin will keep the team on its toes.\nDon't forget to turn out Thursday night and support the\nVarsity Inter A team. Time: 8:30. Place: King Ed Gym, at\nUth and Oak Street.\nRowing Club Ties\nPowerful Varsity\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ROWING CLUB scored a mild upset last Saturday when\nthey stopped the powerful Varsity squad in a nothing\nto nothing game at Brockton Point Oval in the feature event\nof the afternoon. The week before Rowing Club showed itself\nto be very weak when it bowed to Ex-Brittania. On the\nother hand Varsity thoroughly trounced the RCAF fliers\nfrom Sea Island and was expected to swarm all over the\nRowing Club outfit last week-end.\nThe game was not as even as tho have turned out for practices and\nscore asserts itself. The Varsity\nplayers were still showing the\nsame class that they have shown\nin their previous outings. The new\nmembers of the team have blended themselves with the older\nplayers and their playing methods\nvery well.\nMORE PLAYERS\nHowever, greater strength is expected to be added to the team\nwhen Al Jones and N. Cooke get\nbnck Into the line-up. These two\nplayers, who were used In the\nscrum to great advantage last\nyear, have not Joined In the games\nas yet, They were late ln arriving\nat the Pearly Gates of the University and have had difficulty to\nget to practices. They will be In\nthe scrum before long however.\nThis brings up the question of\nr surplus of players, something\nthat would have made managers\nleap for joy last year. Enough\nhave been showing such ability\nthat they deserve a chance to play\nin a league.\nSECOND TEAM\nA meeting last Friday brought\nout enough new and interested\nplayers that it is almost certain\nthat a second team will be entered into the Miller Cup this week.\nA second team is needed to afford a better choice of players for\nthe McKechnie Cup later this year.\nIn former years the university had\nat least three playing teams entered in downtown competition.\nThis constituted a minor league in\nitself. From this league a fairly\nstrong McKechnie Cup team was\npicked every year.\nA Victoria Rep. team will\nprobably face the Thunderbirds\nfor the Homecoming sports feature on the 30th of this month. It\nls likely that this game will be\ncounted as a league game.\nAw Ful Of Thought\nBy JIM SCHATZ\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 THOSE OF YOU who read Harry Franklin's last few\nwords last wdek will no doubt wonder what he meant.\nI do not feel like telling you. If you want to KNOW what\nhe did mean why don't you go out to a few games this week\nend or the next and find out. If things continue the way they\nhave you won't so I might as well tell you now and here.\nYour College Spirit smells. It really does. Not all of\ntwo and a half thousand students are so busy studying and\nworking on Saturdays that some of you can not manage\nto go down and help the UBC sports teams out from the\nstands. I would like to know why more support is not given.\nChampionship teams are produced regularly on this\ncampus. They get mild support when the finals are on. If\nthey can get a little support when the finals and exams are\non together why can't a little more support be given when\nexams are six months away?\nA player has to have purely and only the love of the\ngame to get out there, practise in all his spare time, and\nplay before a cheereless throng. He should have some one\nto cheer his good plays and honour him at all times about\nthe campus. Many boys around the campus are great stars\nin their respective sports and are carrying the name of the\nUniversity to outsiders in the name of sport. How many does\nthe average student recognize?\nRemember, also that you pay plenty of money each year\nfor these games that you are not bothering to follow up.\nYou can see any game in which a Varsity team is competing\nfor nothing. You have already paid for your attendance and\nthe strip in which the boys are playing. Why don't you\nmake use of your investment?\nIt is high time you revived the former gaiety that has\nmade university teams famous.\nA young lady went Into a drug\nstore. \"Have you any Lifebouy?\"\nshe asked.\n\"Set the pace, lady,\" said the\nyoung drug clerk, \"set the pace.\"\nNOTICE\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 THE FILM SOCIETY will present a FREE show on Thursday at 12:30 in the Auditorium.\nThe Films include \"Hot Ice\",\n\"News From Sicily\", \"Toonerville\nTrolley\", and a movie of an ice\nhockey game between the Rangers\nand the Maple Leafs from a few\nyears back.\nturn tb\u00C2\u00BB vjooav\nVICTORY LOAN\nFOUND: A girl's locker key in\nfront of the Arts building on Saturday.
