The delegates from Europe\npointed out that the interests ef\nthe Canadian is bounded seemingly by his eampus social clubs,\nhis books, football games and\ndances.\nOn the other hand political fever runs high in European student\ngroups who gather at the side\nwalk cafes in Paris, Prague and\n.Rome to discuss Communism, Catholicism, Democracy, and Internationalism on into fhe night\nThey have vastly different outlooks tempered by six years in\nwhich they have seen their ideals\nbetrayed by their universities and\ntheir professors.\nOb one side, the report ooti\ntinues, the student in the armlei\nof the Allied nations were indifferent to politics until the shock\nof war made them take a new\nstock of democracy while on the\nother side, the student ln Italy\nand Germany passively allowed\nhimself to be deluded and moulded\nby a nationalistic political machine\nto his own destruction. Now thc\nEuropean student ls ready to i-\ndentlfy himself as a communist, n\ndemocrat, a socialist, a left wins\nFabian, etc. He knows hlo position\nfrom hard experience and defends\nit. with vigor.\nDirectory Sales\nNow Exceed 2100\nLatest figures of the Student\nDirectory sales show that Z100 of\nthe books have been sold to date\nApproximately 4000 books were*\nprinted, the remainder ef whic>\nare now on sale lit the AMS office.

MacKenzie returned Sunday from\nEastern Canada where he attended executive meetings of\nthe National Conference of Canadian Universities during\nthe last two weeks.\nWhen interviewed Dr. MacKenzie stated there were four purposes for making this trip.\nThese (were: student exchange\nbetween Canadian Universities, international exchange of students,\nand membership in the universities Bureau of the British Empire.\nThe fourth reason for the trip was\nto make arrangements for next\nyear's Conference which will take\nplace at McOill University from\nMay 22 to 24.\nVETS DISCUSSED\nAs a member of the Advisor)'\nCommittee for Veterans' Affairs,\nDr. MacKenzie gathered reports on\nthe registration of Veterans in the\nvarious universities across Canada.\nThe total number of veterans is\napproximately 35,000, that Is, about\n48% of all Canadian university students. Five thousand more ex-\nservice personnel are expected next\nyear.\nWith regard to the past performance of veterans, the President\nseid ''Of all veterans enrolled so\nfar, 2400 have now dropped their\nstudies. This number breaks up\ninto four groups: 600 of them have\ngraduated, 000 were short-service\nmen end their allowances ran out,\n600 found other employment,' and\n600 failed in their academic examinations.\" He went on to say that\nthe percentage of failures for veterans is very much lower than for\nnon-veteran students. The consensus of opinion is that veterans are\nmore serious about their studies\nbecaute of their maturity, and\ngreater incentive.\nSocialists Hold\nFirst JMeet Today\nAt 12i20 today fhe new Bos.\nialiam Discussion Club will inset\nin Arts 204.\nThe club desires no political ai-\nfiliations and pledgas itself to\nstudy the growth and development\nof socialism.\nPresident of the Socialism Discussion Club\u00E2\u0080\u0094now functioning\nunder the Literary and Sclentifh\nExecutive\u00E2\u0080\u0094is Cliff Grw*\u00C2\u00BB.

One\nlucky but deserving young lady has been\nmade very happy, seven others almost as\nlucky have had a time almost as exciting,\nand thousands of people in Vancouver have\nbeen made to feel just a little younger.\nIn addition, despite what a few earnest\nold young people at the University of Saskatchewan have been saying, a good cause\nhaa been aided without harm being done to\nanyone. We refer, of course, to the few\nthousand dollars which have been added to\nthe UBC War Memorial fund. (We'd like\nto remind the young lady who wrote the\nSheaf article which ia reprinted on this page\nthat it is a War Memorial fund and not, as\nshe maintains, \"a foul idea\".)\nIn fact, that article ia one of tht most\namazing things we've ever seen in a college\nnewspaper, and there have been gome rather\namazing ones before. In our opinion, it's a\nperfect example of what happens when\nyoung people take themselves too seriously.\nIf it were in our financial power to do so\nwe'd like to wire some money to all the\nstudents at Saskatoon who couldn't see any\nfun or worth in the admitted stunt and tell\nthem to use it on a good meal at the Bess or\nthe Elite, or a party at the Cavern.\nPerhaps if we could do that they might\nfeel a little better about it. Why, they might\neven get up the spirit to start some sort of\ncampaign themselves.\nCome on, you Huskies from Saskatchewan\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094you'll never have a merry Christmas if\nyou take life that seriously.\nThe Mummery\nBy JABEZ\nTHE ADASKIN INFLUENCE\nTwo weeks ago I joined the hurrying\nstream of people Hoeing the horror of Sunday afternoon in Vancouver, following it\ninto the Orpheum theatre, where Mr. Albert\nSteinberg was to conduct the Vancouver\nSymphony Orchestra.\nNow, I don't know much about serious\nmusic. You ask me where Bach waa born\nand IH just stand there looking at you,\nrunning my tongue over my lips. Ask me\nto distinguish between a concerto and a\nrhapsody) and I'll throw my apron over my\nhead and run home bawling. I represent\nthe forlfiUWnj M?, Harrjf Adaskinto trying\nto stamp out, but whioh keeps squirting up\nbetween his toes.\nStill, I do enjoy an occasional concert,\nespecially when given a ticket by a friend\ntoo ill to go himself. So, I wandered down\nthe aisle of the Orpheum, accosting women\nI thought were usherettes, one of whom led\nme back up the aisle and parked me in a\nseat to one side at the rear. If there's anything I hate it's a friend too cheap to buy a\nbetter seat than that.\nJABEZ* NEIGHBOURS\nHowever, I settled myself comfortably in\nmy seat, wiggled my ears to make sure the\nflaps were working, and waited for some\nlovely girl to come sit in the gtill-unoccupied\nse^ to my right. Sure enough, in she came,\na girl of about 60, with a gquare-faced friend.\nShe filled her aaat and overflowed into mine,\njostling mo against the wizened little man to\nmy left, who glanced at me auspiciously.\nThe dreadnoughts then set about taking\noff their fur coats, an elaborate operation\nthat gave people around us plenty of time\nto note the species, quality and label. As a\nspecial treat for me, the woman closest flung\nout her left arm, burying my nose in fur.\nAfter a while she removed the arm, permitting me to breathe again, quite a decent\ngesture on her part, I thought.\nTHE WEDGED FOOT\nI was still peering at my program notes,\ntrying to memorize the plot of Mozart's Symphony in D Major, as the lights went down\nand Mr. Steinberg strode to the podium to\nstrike up \"O Canada!\" Unprepared for the\nanthem, and with my foot having somehow\nbecome wedged into the seat in front, I was\ndelayed in rising to the occasion. This tardy\npatriotism drew sidelong glances of scom\nfrom my neighbours, and I sat down assured\nthat I had already shown myself up for a\nclod, probably drunk.\n\"My throat is tickling something terrible,\"\nwhispered Fur Coat to her friend. \"I'm\nafraid I'll cough.\"\nFine. We could look forward to Mozart's\nSymphony in D Major with bronchial interpolations by his mother. She might even\nmanage to choke to death ih four movements.\nThe orchestra finished the first movement\nof the Mozart Symphony, and we braced\nounelves for the bastard applause, if any.\nOne pair of male hands broke out to starboard, quickly petering out aa the victim\nshuddered under the terrible impact of accusing stares, turned bright purple, and\nshrank to a tiny, whimpering figure. I thanked God that I had learned never to applaud\nat concerts until the musicians had all left\nthe stage and the charwomen had started\nsweeping up.\nTHREATENING GULLS\nFollowing Mozart was Mendelssohn's\n\"Fingal's Cave Overture,\" about which I\nbarely had time enough to read the program notes of one Hugo Leichtentritt, who\nwrote, \"Certainly it gives a wonderfully\nvivid Impression of the surging sea, of waves\nresounding in rocky caves, of the harsh cry\nof sea gulls, the odor of salt air, the sharp\nflavor of the seaweed . . .\" Hugo seemed\nto have the gen, all right. I covered my\nhead with my program and sat back to attend the sea gulls.\nAs Mendelssohn rolled up on the beach, I\nmade repeated efforts to catch the flavor of\nthe seaweed. Once I thought I had it, but\nit turned out to be Fur Coat easing off her\nshoes. I could hear the sea surging, though,\nvery clearly. In fact I was riding the swell\nlike a cork when, abruptly, Fur Coat let fly\nwith her first salvo of hacking, interrupting\na sea gull in full cry and lousing up the odor\nof salt air with that of Buckley's cough\ndrops. Out of the corner of my eyes I could\nsee her holding her breath, trying to choke\noff the spasm, and I leaned away from the\ninevitable explosion. The wizened little man\ngave me a sharp look, I leaned back again.\nThen the explosion blew seaweed, gulls and\nmy program clean out of sight.\nThe rest of the program I spent avoiding\nthe eyes of people turning around to see\nwho had dragged his poor old consumptive\nmother down to the concert.\nPerhaps that was why I enjoyed Friday's\nlunch-hour concert in the Armory so\nmuch more. Mozart went well with chopped\negg sandwich, and Schumann gained depth\nfrom the gentle belching of 2000 undergraduates. Let's try that again sometime.\nCLASSIFIED\nWANTED\nRide from 49th and Larch for 9:30's\nevery day. KE 1W0 R.\nRide from 57th and Angus for 8:30*s\nTuesday, Thursday, and Saturday; anytime Mon.

Note\u00E2\u0080\u0094The following article waa printed under the above title in\na recent Issue of The Sheaf, student newspaper at the University of\nSaskatchewan It carried the credit line \"By Mary-Elisabeth Good\".\nWaves of contrasting opinion\nsweeping the campus regarding the\nbeauty contest at UBC are making\na decision on the question a very\ndifficult one. Stop and think!\nWhat will this competition mean\nto the university and what is more\nImportant to the girls themselves?\nIhe idea of exploiting varsity\ngirls only in order to make some\nmoney for one university ls a foul\none indeed. What is more cheap\nthan a beauty contest in any form\nwhich is to be used only for a\ncause not even affecting our university? Saskatchewan coeds must\nsit hack and realize that they are\nonly being used. This is a difficult\nthing to do, for very close to the\nfeminine is the idea of beauty.\nHowever, display never results ln\ngain\u00E2\u0080\u0094only a loss. Do not fall into\nthe trap of this scheme for soon\nenly regret will be felt for the\nmistake made.\nFight, do not follow as sheep.\nLook at the question with opet<\neyes and a critical mind. Uphold\nthe reputation of the university\nand more important your womanhood. Then blast what you know\nto be vulgar and without refinement. One mistake is certainly\nforgiveable but correction of it is\nthe only means of redemption.\nIf the only university in the\ncountry which rejects this scheme\nis Saskatchewan and this action is\ntcken only because of the disapproval of the varsity girls, be\nproud in the knowledge that you\nhave done what is right.\nBEAUTY-on-the-SPOT\nIt is obvious these days that beauty ia not everything. A\nlook at the results of a recent nation-wide contest will show\nyou why. What beautiful woman has ever skyrocketed to\nfame like the one and only \"Lena, the Hyena\" of Lower Slob-\nbovia. Lena, though ugly, has become the moat talked about\nwoman of the year. The participation and interest in Lena's\ncontest was far greater than even that in the widely publicized contest which chose \"Miss America of 1946.\"\nLena obviously has no beauty\nbut she must have something to get\nher picture in nearly every newspaper and magazine througout tha\ncontinent Maybe she has a 'fourth\ndJmentional personality,' but whatever she has it is certainly \"out\nof this world.'\nAnd when they showed her looks.\nIn all the papers and books,\nSaid the gentlemen, \"Obviously\nThat Lena has the strangest\nIt's lucky for the hoys at UBC\nthat when \"Sadie Hawkins Day\"\ncomes around, Lena won't be hers.\nI can imagine that there would be\nsome track records broken that\nday if Lena were here.

At any rate it was a first for both the\nPhilharmonic and myself.\nThe Ninth is of particular interest just now, because it\nhas been the subject of apparently rather violent adverse\ncomment by the Moscow critics\u00E2\u0080\u0094something about a lack of\nwarm ideological conviction. In fact some of the more frothy\nAmerican publications suggested that Szostakowicz had been\npurged as a result of the composition.\n\"PVRGE\"\nPossibly it would be worth while\ndigressing long enough to investigate this word 'purged'. From\nits rather sordid station as an\nobscure process connected with\ntho bowels, purged has of late taken upon Itself a host of meanings, with the result that, coupled\nwith the activities of any out of\nfavor political group, it ma}' refer\nto anything from a public execution in Red Square to a panning\nby the local critics.\nThe .Symphony, described prior\nto its performance as Haydnesque,\nDEFINED\nopens with a toy rfiop first movement very reminiscent of the com*\nposer's earlier Polka from \"The\nAge of Gold\". The second movement an Andante and by far the\nfinest thing in the symphony, begins with the statement of a long\nSlavic theme, by the oboe, which\nis further worked out between the\nbody of the orchestra, in great\nblocks of massive chords, and the\ncolo Instruments which rise time\nafter time above the concerted\nsections.\nNUTRIENT\nThe third movement light and\nplayful, recalls a Tchaikovsky\nscherzo, with its shimmery little\nruns in the strings, and forms a\npleasant contrast to the thoughtful second movement. The fourth,\nwhich grows directly out of the\nthird in a slow succession of rising\nchords in the brass, promises more\nnourishing fare as the horns take\nover the tHeme, but it turns out\nto be scarcely more than a short\ntransition passage leading into the\nfifth, and final, movement\nThe fifth, another Allegro, works\naway incessantly at a theme which\nls emaciated from the start barely\nconscious by the finish. The whole\nHORNS\neffect of this flnal movement is one\nof shallowness and inordinate\nlength.\nWith no particular desire to defend the Moscow critics, I can\nhardly see that they were too\nrough in their handling of this\nsymphony. The Ninth is not only\nvery unsatisfactory in its avowed\nrole as an expansion of victory,\nbut it Is also well below the aver-\nrole as an expression of victory,\npositions. Only In the second and\nthe minute fourth movement does\nit show signs of greatness, and ln\nthe fifth\u00E2\u0080\u0094by rights the culmination\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094it ls downright banal.\nART AND ENVIRONMENT\nWith regard to the charge that\nthe symphony lacks ideological\nconviction\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is a more obscure\npoint Naturally the symphony\nmakes no clear statement of philosophic outlook\u00E2\u0080\u0094only Wagner tries\nthat. The reference seems rather\nto be the fact that the symphony\nfella as an expression, In music, of\nthe social environment In which\nIt has been composed. For the man\nwho feels art to be the expression\nof an individual, as an individual,\nwith no relation to the life of tha\ncommunity as a whole, this view\nof social expression will be meaningless.\nIf, however, we hold, with the\nRussians, that art Is relative to,\nand a product of the way of life\nof, the group from which it springs,\nthen we must see the artist as a\nspokesman of his community,\nunder the constant obligation of\ncreating truthful and representative works of art.\nComrade Remnant sends greetings to his little brothers across\nthe seas.\nA bas la Capitalisme.

At least it had better be if\nany of the poor lads on the sport desk are going to get through\ncome exam time.\nPerhaps the weatherman is trying to cross-up Leo\nSweeney, Vancouver's foremost advocate of the \"ever-green\nplayground\". But after all, the great Mr. Sweeney was one\nof those talented gentlemen who said that UBC's Miss Albert\nhad that certain something.\nAnd that she did too. For once again the Blue and\nGold has come to the fore. But, I suppose many of you are\nasking what has this got to do with Sport ? ? ? Brother, a lot\nof those guys watching those lovely examples of feminine\npulchritude were panting harder than any track runner I\never saw!!!\nIt's Curtains For Grid\nAnd just to think, that all of this laat few inches came\nout of a bit of snow- Actually though, this snow just serves\nto remind ua that UBC and American football have had it for\nthis year. And on the whole, we'll have to agree that we\nhaven't had too many points in the win column.\nBut to say that the 'Birds just haven't got it in the grid\nfield is one thing that we just can't go along with. To say\ntruth, many of the moguls who have the clues lined up pretty\nwell in the sportlight, figured that if the 'Birds were just able\nto go out there and let the other team know they were there,\nsomething would be accomplished in the first year in Conference grid.\nNot that we think it ia necessary to make excuses for the\nteam, but there are reasons for the losses our boys have\ntaken. Coach Kabat has done a great job in moulding the\ntalent he had on hand into some semblance of a grid squad.\nThe boys in the line did as good a job as they knew how to\ndo against competition that has been playing the game since\nthey were in knee-pants.\nTh\u00C2\u00AB Oilier Guys Knew More\nThe backfield was made up of boys who know plenty\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2bout the game on the whole. The whole thing was that the\nboys were out-classed by teams who really know their grid.\nAfter all, a grid team can't be made over night.\nWe til know what a beating the kids from Vancouver\nCollege took in their first year at the game. Since that time,\nthey have learned a great deal, but it waa only through the\nmeans of bitter experience.\nMany of those boys who are learning the fundamentals\nat the local college will prove very valuable to the Blue and\nGold cause in the future- The advantage of playing under\nthe same coach is another point in our favour for they will\nknow what the whily mentor expects of them.\nSanta Should Be Coming\nAnyhow, it's all over for this year and all we can do is\nsit and wait for next year and hope that it will tell a slightly\ndifferent story.\nWith the news that the Big Four will not be able to play\nthe Varsity squad next week-end, the boys can definitely\nhang up the strip and call it a season. It seems that V.A.C.\nhas to play Victoria so that rather gettles the issue.\nIt might have been a good contest and it would certainly\nhave made a little money for the Gym Fund if it had come\nabout. There are a great many people hereabouts who wonder just what the difference is between the local grid circle\nand the type of ball the \"Birdmen have been up against.\nOh well, as we said in the beginning, the snow has\narrived. Winter is here. Who wants to play football anyhow? It's time to start thinking about Santa Claus and how\nlong we're going to be able to sleep in during those lovely\nholidays.\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Ubyssey photo by Danny Wallace\nTHE LAST TIME\u00E2\u0080\u0094It's all over now.
