They had to make\nat least 60 percent grades in\nmathematics and physics in order\nto tako the course.\n83 IN COURSE\nThe group numbers 85, all chosen\nfrom a swarm of applicants who\nwent before a board composed of\nLt.-Col. G. M. Shrum, Prof. Walter\nGage and Registrar C. B. Wood.\nTheir course includes mathematics, physics, basic engineering,\nmap-reading, drafting and English.\nThe course is tough, needless to\nsay, and it allows them little time\nfor anything but studying.\nThe camp occupied by the\nsoldiers, formerly occupied by the\nEngineers' work company, is rapidly becoming a model establishment. Huts are lined with wall-\nboard and are kept spotlessly'\nclean.\nSTUDY IN BROCK\nFor studying the soldiers use the\nbig double committee room of\nBrock Hall. They also use the\ngymnasium.\nMost of the boys come from\nBritish Columbia centres, but the\nunit includes soldiers* whose\nhomes are as far away as Yarmouth, N.S.\nOfficer in charge of the camp\nis Capt.

Executives\nwere invited, but apart from these,\nonly freshmen were allowed\nthrough the gates. No women and\ncertainly no upperclassmen were\nadmitted.\nThe entertainment included both\namateur and professional artists.\nAmong the amateurs were a couple\nof hot pianists, Johnny Francis and\nDoug Watt.ex-pubster, student jive\nartists. Professional entertainment\nIncluded four dancing beauties, and\na magician.\nContrary to reports, food, cider\nand soft drinks, supplemented by\ncigars and pipe tobacco, were supplied to the freshmen.\nThe smoker was a success. In\nfact, Harry Curran, a veteran of\nmany smokers, stated, \"Last\nnight's affair was the best in my\nexperience.\"\nTo-day all Frosh who attended\nthe smoker will appear a little\ngreen because of last night's orgy,\nbut then, that's as it should be.\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\ %'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0''-\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0:\u00E2\u0080\u00A2:, \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0:\u00E2\u0096\u00A0>: v \"''. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 V; V>.:w\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\".'\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0,';\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0* \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 * < * a\ny\n' \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 V- \ \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"' \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 '* \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2-' \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0*\n^\u00E2\u0096\u00A0'vY>:>' ^ \"-'''tow.\nXywuxt/M ^Ssy*v*'\n*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*>*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 SCENES like the one above, when every fraternity man\nis a \"good time Charlie\", will again be seen on the campus\nas fraternity rushing begins October 3.

Council members, at the\ngeneral meeting of the new students last\nSaturday, promised that \"the green\", to complete their regalia would be distributed this\nweek. Still none has appeared, and no information concerning the date of its appearance can be obtained.\nAnd so another of the traditional institutions of the university has fallen by the\nway-side. In attempting to avoid any publicity in downtown papers, Council has agreed\nto ban the green glasses which had already\nbeen manufactured and delivered to the\nAMS office.\nThe Green of freshman initiation week\nis the one tradition which the newcomers\nhave in common with almost every university in the country. Whether they will admit\nit or not, they do'look forward to the differentiating characteristics, and upperclassmen expect it of them. There is no harm\nin the wearing of the green, and a great deal\nof innocent fun can be derived from it.\nTo be a student of the university is nothing of which to be ashamed, as has already\nbeen proven. Why should university students have to slink about, hesitant to admit\nthat they are gaining a better education,\nwhen they have been permitted to attend\nby the Selective Service authorities?\nIf students do waste their time, if they\nare not serious in their studies, or if they\nact childishly and in a manner unfavourable\nto the university, then there is every reason\nto insist that there be no entertainment for\nthem. But through the past years the uni\nversity has proven its value and through the\npast years freshmen have worn the green.\nDowntown people know about it, and they\nexpect it equally as much as do the students.\nThe university has made valuable contributions to the war effort and to civic\nenterprises. When so much of each student's\ntime is devoted to compulsory training and\nacademic activities, it is unfair that for one\nweek they cannot be allowed to enjoy the\norganized recreation customary in freshman\nweeks of the past.\nEach year sees more and more of the\nsocial and athletic functions lopped off the\nuniversity calendar. Why should one week,\nperhaps the most memorable week of university life, be relegated to the \"out for the\nduration\" file as well?\nGreen regalia, be it bows, pins, or\nglasses, is a small item, but it has become\nthe most important one in the whole freshman orientation program. The glasses which\nwere purchased were inexpensive, and the\ncost was paid by the students themselves.\nNo reverberations can reach the authorities\non that account.\nNow eight hundred pairs of green cardboard glasses lie unused in the AMS office.\nCouncil maintains that they will be used as\nfavours at a dance later on in the year. If\nthey can be purchased as favours, why can\nthey not be used for their original purpose?\nIt is the unnecessary expenditures, such as\nfavours at dances that should be curtailed.\nLet us go without favours at dances, but\nlet us welcome the freshmen in the traditional manner.\nFaculty Forum\nB: Dr. Joseph A. Crumb\nHow Not To\n\"Polish Apple.\"\nAlthough the inauguration of the\n\"Faculty Forum\" should ordinarily be a\npleasant assignment\u00E2\u0080\u0094and I undertake it in\nthat spirit\u00E2\u0080\u0094it is only fair to warn the reader\nthat other more worthy and distinguished\nmembers of the staff declined the opportunity. I am, in reality, writing in their stead.\nWhen they havguread what I have written\n*ey*'ma^' rio~t*a\"ga!ti take their resp'onsibilitill\nso lightly, for I refuse to take their assignment seriously.\nVery likely they are too preoccupied\nwith \"sugar-coating\" the not too delectable\nmorsels, which they have stewed, brewed\nor concocted for the .intellectual appetities\nof the untutored many, to undertake the unenviable task of proving that occasionally a\nprofessor can be human. It is possible too\nthat they are so concerned with dusting off\nthe opening days exhortation on how to\nsucceed in college (and reconsigning it to\nnext year's file) that they have forgotten the\ntremendous interest such a hoary document\nwould possess for the new generation of\nstudents.\nm\nLearned By Heart\nMy own monumental work was stolen\nand destroyed by an admiring student who\nrebelled against listening to it for the fifth\nconsecutive year and chose that means of\nmaking a lasting contribution to the intellectual life of the Campus. But unfortunately for posterity I had learned it by heart\nand future historians will not face the difficult task of restoring that notable part of the\nfirst epoch in the University's progress. With\nthe sublime conviction that it establishes a\nhigh standard of opening day exhortations\nI am giving you excerpts from it. It is entitled \"How Not To Polish Apples.\"\nThe title was originally suggested by\nthe eminent historian, Dr. Sage, but we were\naccused of plagiarism by Dean Clement and\nI was subsequently sued for libel by an\napple growers' association. It was therefore\nnecessary to use another title but, however\nwell disguised, it still reveals the salient\npoints of any lecture in which the professor\nexhorts the starry-eyed multitude to improve upon its modest foundations.\nThe art of \"apple polishing\" is undoubtedly as old as the apple itself. But in spite\nof the studied guile with which it must be\npracticed one might suggest that its unpro-\npitious beginning in the fabled Garden of\nEden bodes evil for anyone who fails to\nabide by its unwritten laws. As a former\nmember of that ancient, if not honourable\ncult (most professors are) I can let you in\non a few of its trusted maxims which are\nnever uttered publicly; for the first rule of\nthe cult is that one member shall never\nknowingly recognize, nor fraternize with\nanother.\nPointers\nFirst, never give the professor the\nslightest hint that you aspire to membership,\nfor he may see in you what he may desire\nto forget in his own youth. Resist any impulse to smile too ingratiatingly, unless he\nis quite near-sighted. Never play the sycho-\nphant. There are usually so many doing the\nsame thing that even the professor catches\non. Do not make the mistake of asking a\nquestion which you are not prepared to\nanswer in order to avoid one by the professor. That was an accepted \"hedge\" or\ndeception practiced successfully by all conjurers, but it is too common a dead give\naway which may have unfortunate repercussions. A much better tactic is to engage\nthe professor on his pet aversion, or .on such\na consuming topic as the relation of his\nsubject to post-war reconstructions. Not\neven an ex-conjurer can escape that temptation and will AD LIB indefinitely.\nAlthough it is unwise to attempt to\npursue a love interest and an intellectual\none at the same time (because they are not\nusually of common origin), a fairly human\ninstructor may abide with you if you resist\nholding hands below the level of his eye,\navoid \"shoulder leaning\", and make a valiant\nattempt to concentrate on the lecture. If\nyou can imagine the inane picture which two\ncalf-eyed adolescents present to a calloused\nprofessor you may possibly extricate yourself from such desperate circumstances.\nBe Fluent\nOne should make a heroic attempt to\nacquire fluence in speech and in written\nexposition. An ardent \"apple polisher\" will\nnot condone the sort of intellectual vulgarity\nwhich momentarily makes the professor\nthink of a tavern. Our inimitable Dr. Sedge-\nwick will tell you that some words actually\nsmell\u00E2\u0080\u0094or are capable of being smelled (according to Dr. Johnson). One would surely\n\"polish no apples\" with him by suggesting\nthat a rose by any other name would smell\nas sweet.\" A real \"apple polisher\" can convince anyone\u00E2\u0080\u0094even other members of the\ncult\u00E2\u0080\u0094that a single point made with consummate skill and sparkling brilliance is worth\na dozen incoherent ideas which can escape\nthe prison of a limited vocabulary only by\nmeans of vulgar vernacular.\nThe really sophisticated \"apple polisher\"\nestablishes an air of indifference around himself which may easily be mistaken for the\nsapience possessed by scholars who without\ndesign become completely absorbed in a\nfield of knowledge. Such a sophisticate never\npresumes upon the deference of a professor\nand gradually acquires the insouciance\nwhich removes the last trace of insidious\ndesign.

T. SCOTT\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ONE FACTOR which\nhas always figured\nlargely in the making of\ndecisions at this University\nis downtown publicity,\nknown to various student\nmartyrs as The Old Bogey,\nBugaboo or Administration\nTrouble.\nThe Old Bogey has always\nloomed in the back of student\nminds. Maybe, he will always be\nthere.\nBALLOON\nIn peace-time he was bad\nenough, but with the war, the Old\nBogey has swelled like a toy\nballoon with each succeeding year.\nWe are all waiting for the time\nwhen peace comes and The Old\nBogey will shrivel with the relief\nof escaping air and a figurative\nsnap of varsity fingers can be\nmade in the face of downtown\npublicity.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 BUT that day hsjsn't arrived\nyet and until it does we have\nto forego the many varsity antics\nwhich downtown papers sieze\nupon.\nThe antics have been dying out\nsince the day war was declared\nand most likely they will be\nofficially pronounced dead this\nyear.\nMost students blame the newspapers for the adverse publicity.\nThey take the attitude that the\nsurly dty editors of Vancouver are\nout to \"get\" the University.\nThat's not true. Their business\nis reporting the news and if we\nmake news, we can't ask them to\ncurtail it merely because it might\nhurt us.\nAnd if anybody doesn't think\nvarsity pranks are news, they're\noff the beam. Anything out of the\nordinary is news. Is there anybody\nwho won't admit varsity students\ndo things out of the ordinary?\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 THE OLD BOGEY has won\nthe first round this year.\nFear of him stopped one proposed\n.obligation for the fraahmen, It is\nmy belief we might as well give\nhim the title, if he can stop us\non such a little thing as the green,\ncardboard glasses.\nWe're not out here to make\nheadlines. They come to us. We\ncan't get away from them. The\ndeath-knell of student frivolity has\nbeen sounded early in the year.\nENLIST BOGEY\nWe can still save some of that\nharmless frivolity, the same sort\nof frivolity which is still going on\nall over Vancouver, by enlisting\nThe Old Bogey in our cause, as\nhe works both ways.\nWe can make the right kind of\nheadlines just as, but not quite as,\neasily as the undesirable type.\nYou all know how to make them.\n0 IF the newspapers can put the\nhead \"UBC students open\ncanteen for soldiers,\" beside the\nhead \"UBC students throw Freshman in pool,\" The Old Bogey will\nbe in the ring by himself.\nThe Publications Board and the\nStudent Council are now working\non an idea which will route all\nnews of the University through a\ncentral agency so that the good\nand the bad is put before the\npublic.\nUsing this scheme, the three\nvarsity correspondents of the\ndowntown papers will get all\nstudent news from the one source,\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 Do you get that let-down and\ngrumpy feeling after spending\na day in town shopping? The one\nsure pick-me-up has been discovered ... go in and wander around\nthe deliciously scented Persian\nArts and Crafts, 507 Granville . . .\nit's cool, it's friendly, and the atmosphere has that restful, unhurried quality of the Middle East\n. . . you could spend hours and\nstill not cover all the wonders displayed there ... an original Persian Koran, over 350 years old,\njade, gold, silver and amber are\nonly a few of the priceless treasures to be found in the little shop\n... It used to be spring, but summer seems to have had its share\nof pin planting . , . last year's ed-\nin-chief has a blonde, associate editor all sewed up with his Phi Kap\npin ... a cute little Soph is wearing the Alpha Delt pin of a tall,\nwavy-haired Senior . . . Gift suggestions abound In the little corner of the East, and prices range\nfrom fifty cents up . . . for something out of the ordinary try the\nPersian Arts and Crafts as your\ngift selection center.\nANYTIME IS A BETTER TIME WITH A SWEET CAP\nIf you're \"C.fl.\" and hating\nThe thought of who's dating\nThp-sweetie you're longing to win;\nThink of girls fust as fair\nThat you'll meef \"over then\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094And fhof's where a Sweet Cap comet M\nSWEET CAPORAL\n-v CIGARETTES\n''Tht pumt form In which foboeco can be \u00E2\u0080\u00A2moked\"\n...You can\nspot it every time\nYOUTH in everything it doe*,\ngoes for the people and things\nthat are \"right.\" That's why youth\ngoes for ice\u00C2\u00ABcold Coca\u00C2\u00BBCola.
