" Committee Plans \"Representative\" AMS Council\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 AN ENLARGEMENT of the\npresent Student Council of tho\nAlma Mater Society, rather than\nthe establishment of a parliamentary type of student government,\nwas decided upon by the student\nrepresentation committee at a\nmeeting Tuesday evening.\nGordon Bertram, president of the\nLiterary and Scientific Executive,\nadvocated the parliamentary\nscheme to do away with what he\ntermed a \"vacuum\" between students and their government at\nUBC.\nOUT OF TOUCH?\nHe said that students are out\nof touch with council under the\nexisting set-up, that consequently\nthey never know what council is\ndoing.\nHis plan would. have provided\nfor a lower house of about 25 members, drawn from different campus\norganizations, and an executive for\nfunctional work.\nUnder this plan, the lower house\nwould discuss campus problems\nand offer suggestions to the executive, which would then have an\nidea of student opinion before they\nmade a decision.\nOpponents of the scheme, whicn\nafter much discussion, included the\nmajority of the committee, argued\nthat this would be too cumbersome for effective student government and that eventually the lower\nhouse would die a natural death\nof apathy because it had no real\npower.\nThey maintained also that there\ncould be no fair method of determining representation in the lower\nbody.\nThe tentative plan eventually\nevolved after a long committee\nsession provided for a 14-man\ncouncil with the editor-in-chief of\nPublications an ex-officio member,\nNew members of the council\nwould be four representatives from\nthe faculties and three members-\nat-large.\nThe committee favored the\nmembers-at-large plan to help in\nthe work of council and to provide\na wider range of opinion.\nStill under consideration is a\nproposal to draw the three-mem-\nbers-at-large from the first, second\nand third years, but to be elected\nas representatives of the student\nbody at large, not of their classes.\nFRESHMAN COUNCILLOR\nThis would entail a council election in October for the Freshman\nclass. It would be the first time\nin UBC history that a Freshman\nwoyld be a member of council if\nthe plan is adopted. *\nSome members of the committee\nbelieved that a Freshman on council would give greater spirit to\nthe Freshman class and would be\no good organizer for council work.\nThe proposed council would include: president, treasurer, secretary, LSE president, WUS president, WAA president, MAA president and the new members.\nThe committee decided that the\nposition of president of the Men's\nUndergraduate Society was superfluous because of the lack of activity of the society. While they\nagreed that men do not need a\nspecific representative on council,\nthey still maintained the position\nof president of the Women's Undergraduate Society.\n\"Women,\" said President Les\nRaphael of the Men's Undergraduate Society, \"are more homogeneous than men.\"\nWOMEN BUSY\nThe committee agreed that the\nwomen's activities on the campus\nshow that there is a need for some\nspecific representative on council\nto give direction to that activity.\nThey argued that men's organized\nactivities are confined to athletics\nand that men will always have\nenough representation on council.\nThe committee's deliberations\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2were the result of weeks of extensive preparation and investigation. Constitutions from more than\n25 Canadian and American universities were examined.\nThe proposals will be submitted\nto a test by experts before they\nare passed by council and presented to students. Past presidents\nof the AMS,, UBC alumni, and\nfaculty members will be asked to\nreview the plan and make suggestions.\nPresent plans call for a general\nAMS meeting January 30 for student ratification of the proposals.\nWESTERN CANADA HEARS\nMcGOUN DEBATES FRIDAY\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 McGOUN CUP DEBATES will take place all over\nwestern Canada tomorrow evening for the first time in\ntwo years.\nUBC will be represented by Don Holmes and Jim\nClement here and by Stuart Porteus and Morris Berson in\nWinnipeg. >\nMcGoun Debaters..\nJim Clement...\nDon Holmes ...\nMorris Berson . . .\nStuart Porteous . . .\nThe home team will take the\naffirmative against Alberta ln the\nmain ballroom of fhe Hotel Oeorgla tomorrow at 8:00 pjn. The\nresolution to be debated Is \"Resolved that a tolerant attitude\nshould be adopted towards postwar Germany.\"\nTickets can be obtained at the\nAMS office and at the door. Ihe\nprice is J5c for students and 50c\nfor others.\nStuart Porteus and Morris Berson will arrive ln Winnipeg to,-\nnight and tomorrow will battle\nagainst a resolution put forth by\nManitoba's home team. They will\nreturn home Saturday.\nThe debates are being held simultaneously in Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg. The\ncomplete results of all the debates\nwill be announced in 48 hours.\nProfessor F. G. C. Wood will\npreside over the debatea hare and\njudges will be the Hon. Wendell\nB. Harris, Mr. Leon Ladner, and\nthe Hon. Kenneth Drury.\nOfficials at Winnipeg are chairman E. K. Williams, K.C., and\njudges are Dr. E. M. Howse, Mr.\nSamuel Freeman, K.C, and Mr.\nAllistalr Stewart.\nThe Triangle Debating League\nwas formed in 1920 with the three\nprairie universities participating.\nIn 1924 a cup was donated by Dr.\nA. F. McGoun for annual competition.\nUBC entered the league in 1927\nand the name was changed to\n\"Western Universities Debating\nLeague.\" So far our university\nhas won the cup twice; in 1938 and\nin 1942.\nStudents Reduce\nGrad Class Fees\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 A SCHEME has been arranged\nwhereby the students of UBC\nwill pey three dollars per year\nfor their graduation fees instead\nof paying a lump sum of S15 ln\ntheir final year.\nThis arrangement has been approved by the bursar and the graduating class executive, and will\ngo before the senate for the final\napproval on the 29th of this month.\nThe result of a long fight, the\nsystem works as follows:\nA sum of three dollars per year\nwill be paid by every student as\npart of their fees. Those who now\npay $73 will have to pay S76 in the\nfuture, and so on. This means that\nEngineers will pay a total of $15\nfor graduation, Artsmen $12, and\nNurses $6.\nIt is not expected that this system will come into effect until\nnext year. Therefore those who\ngraduate in 1946 will only have to\npay a fee of three dollars. This\nwill increase by three dollars each\nyear until the maximum has been\nreached.\nWUS To Present\nA, Y, Jackson Film\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 WOMEN'S Undergraduate Society will present, in the Au-\nditoriu mFriday noon at a general\nWUS meeting, a film concerning\nthe life of A.

EDITORIAL PAGE\nTHE UBYSSEY\nJANUARY IS, 194S\nDisappearance Contradicted\nFollowing is a guest editorial written\nby Leslie Raphael, president of the Men's\nUndergraduate Society and chairman of the\nDiscipline Committee, in reply to Tuesday's\nlead editorial, \"The Discipline Committee\nDisappears\".\nMr. Scott has a certain obvious flare\nfor editorial work which often neglects, in\nits necessarily brief form, the vital issues\nat stake in some of Council's decisions. To\nread Mr. Scott's editorial of January 16,\nentitled, sentimentally, \"The Discipline\nCommittee Disappears\", the generally uninformed student would deduce that the\npresent members of the body were people of\nwhishy character and general incompetence.\nI hasten to reassure the readers that this is\nby no means the case.\nThe present members are serious student officers doing a difficult job under the\nyoke of an outmoded constitution. The present difficulty of the Discipline Committee\nis in the representation drawn from the faculties. Since these members represent individual faculties they are obliged to act\nfor them. In matters of inter-faculty disturbances their position is obviously a difficult one and one which renders decisive\naction impossible. Regardless of how\n\"strong-minded\" they might be, their affiliation must necessarily prejudice their\ndecisions on such matters as the inter-fac\nulty disturbances. To \"make effective use\nof their power\" as the editorial under discussion suggested, would cause the individual representatives of the faculties a great\ndeal of discomfort when faced by their\ngeneral assemblies, the members of which\nwill only realize that their president, the\nman who is supposed to represent them on\nthe Discipline Committee, has \"let them\ndown\". It follows then that this member is\nin danger of losing his executive prestige\nin his own group. The result of this would\nbe a weakening in the carefully-built chain\nof student government.\nThe Student Council then decided to\nstrengthen the position of the Discipline\nCommittee and remove the direct burden\nof decision from these few, necessarily\npartisan members, to a larger, more general\ngroup which could, through its very generality, as it is responsible to the entire student\nbody rather than to any one group or fao-\ntion, reach its decisions more effectually and\nwith more authority and dignity.\ntCdntrary to Mr. Scott, the move was\nnot a \"hasty shake-up\" nor a \"whim\", but\na carefully devised plan to ensure the maintenance of the disciplinary function in the\nhands of the students by giving them the\nmachinery and authority, free from the restrictions imposed by direct faculty representation.\nthe last\nJustice for Student Thiefer\nThe quick action of the administration\nin dismissing a student from the university\nfor stealing money from the lockers of other\nstudents meets with the approval of all those\ninterested in ending the recent outbreak of\nthefts at UBC.\nWe hesitate to think that there are students on this campus who not only steal,\nbut also make a regular practice of it. Such\nis the case, according to an increasing number of complaints. It is not a nice thing to\nknow that a person you consider a friend, a\nfellow student, might also be a thief.\nWe hope that the student dismissed is\nthe only thief among us. But if there are\nstill students on the campus partaking of\nThe Final Stage\nWe have reached the final stage of\ntransition in The Ubyssey for this year with\nthe acquisition of our new headline type,\nwhich went into active use at the beginning\nof the new year. From now on the paper\nwill be presented as we have wanted to\npresent it since taking over last Fall.\nOur object is a modern, easily-read\nnewspaper. We try to please every reader\non the campus. We aim at a neat balance\nof all the different kinds of stories which\nare read by all the different kinds of students. The heavy and the light we treat\nequally. We attempt to present the news\nimpartially.\nWe like to think that everyone can find\nsomething of interest in each issue. No one\nreads everything that goes into the daily\nUBC hospitality, yet pilfering their fellow\nstudents' lockers, we would like to bring\nto their attention that there are better ways\nof making money than robbing students who\nmight be just as hard up.\nAny student who hasn't enough, to him,\nto pay his way through Varsity should leave\nand devote his efforts to other things, more\nsuited to his talents. There are many examples of students who can earn their way\nthrough Varsity without relying on what's\nin the lockers of other students. We waste\nno pity on this student-thief. We hope you\nget what is coming to you, dismissal from\nthe ranks of those who look upon a thief as\none of the lower forms of mankind.\nnewspapers. A good many people read only\n90 percent of the daily newspapers. Yet\neveryone has a habit of reading certain parts\nof these papers. It is the' same with our\npaper, but on a much smaller scale.\nA secondary aim of The Ubyssey is to\nfoster original writing at this University.\nOur own staff takes advantage of this, but\nfew students outside of the Pub contribute\nto our editorial page. We would like very\nmuch to receive contributions. We have\nbeen waiting patiently for them since the\nbeginning of the term.\nAnybody who would like to take us up\non these offers can find us most any day of\nthe week in the north basement of the\nBrock.\nCentralization of News Sources\n(The Varsity, University of Toronto)\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 THERE HAS been vigorous controversy\nrecently over the age-old problem of\n\"freedom of the press\". It is rather interesting to note that Associated Press have been\nlaunching a campaign to uphold the affirmative of the topic. At the outset, it is-essential\nto distinguish between freedom of the press\nand freedom of information. Kent Cooper,\nGeneral Manager of Associated Press, argues\nthat equal access to news at the source, and\nequality of availability of transmission facilities at uniform rates, would prevent systematic distortion and suppression of international news, and that without systematic perverting of international news it would be\nextremely difficult to make war.\nAs long as there is equal access to news\nwhen it happens, news cannot be systematically distorted along nationalistic lines.\nSuch a proposal would be an improvement\neven if it were applied to the dissemination\nof nation-wide news. A survey of the manner in which Canadian newspapers have\nbeen handling the zombie question will adequately exemplify how straight facts can be\ngarbled to an almost incomprehensible as\nwell as biased condition.\nThe only difficulty involved would be\nthe fact that such a plan might possibly lead\nto a centralization of news since it would\nhave to pass through one source. The policy\nof the group in charge of that source would\ndirect the form in which the news would be\nsent out. Where there are a number of independent sources competing for information, the possibility of censorship is not as\ngreat as that which might be effected by a\n' single body in control. Of course, if the\nintegrity of the source were assured, then\nMr. Cooper's plan would far out-weigh the\ndangers of competitive reporting.\nFundamentally, the adoption of this\ntype of news transmission will require a tremendous amount of work before it could go\ninto effect. A start must be made, however,\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 if we are to hope for improved press\nconditions.\nLeacock Donates\nWritings to McGill\ne MONTREAL, Jan. 15..(CUP)\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Included \"among recent donations to McGill University were\n173 manuscripts of the work of\nDr. Stephen Leacock, late professor of Economics at McGill.\nJames Richardson and Sons\nLimited made a grant of S350 in\naid of research under the direction\nof Professor Nlkolalczuk of Macdonald CoUege.\nFOR SALE\nOne ticket to Richard Crooks for\nThursday, January 25.

These are the times\nwhen the cynics remark, \"This ls\na waste of space.\"\n\"GENTLE\" READERS\nAnother solution is the \"nothing\"\ncolumn which happens to every\ncolumnist and which every columnist tries to forget about as\nsoon as he is responsible\u00E2\u0080\u0094or perhaps the word is irresponsible\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nfor it.

(UP.)\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Good news to public school\nand college students came from\na Pennsylvania State College professor, who advised parents that\nmarks are not \"the important\ntiling\" in determining a student's\naccomplishments.\n\"The true criterion for judging\na child's academic success,\" according to Mabel Kirk, associate\nprofessor of education; \"is not the\ngrades he earns but what he does\nin the home and outside the school\nwith what he has learned In the\nclassroom.\"\nMiss Kirk warned parents\nagainst placing too much emphasis\non grades, for, she explained,\nsome students can \"cram\" to make\nhigh marks and still not know\nmuch. She also discouraged the\naward of money or other gifts for\nhigh grades as giving \"the student\na false sense of values and frequently encouraging cheating.\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 THE OTHER day during a\nstroll behind the Applied Science building I saw a mass of\nshrubbery and flowers, beds of\nseedlings, a frog pond, two totem\npoles, and a sundial.\nWishing to check my watch I\nwalked to the sundial I looked\nat it hard, and looked at it harder.\nStill no better off than previously\nI set out to circumnavigate this\nnew area.\nI saw a man working in the\nfield and walked over to him.\nIt turned out that he was G.\nD. Cave, the botanical gardener. I then suspected that these\nwere the Botanical Gardens. He\nconfirmed my suspicions.\nMr. Cave told me that these\nplots are used by the senior zoology, botany, and biology students.\nThey take clippings of some plants\nto their labs, while other plants\nare merely used as hosts so the\nplant-disease specialists can get\nspecimens of the Insects they want\nThe plants are divided into definite sections. The larger part are\ncalled native plants, meaning, of\n.course, those which naturally\ngrow in the B. C. area.\nBy DON STAINSBY\nThe name applied (to the other\npart stumped me. They are labelled Exotic Plants. Mr. Cave explained this simply: \"Exotic plants\nare those which don't grow In B.\nC. We have here plants from all\nover Canada.\" .\nHe then took me down to the\nlow end of the gardens, and\nexplained that, starting at that\nend the plants are arranged ln\na gradual change from swampy\nto desert habitat, each plant\nbeing placed, insofar as possible, in the location which best\nsuits It.\nAs we worked up the exotic\ngarden we found the only plant\nln flower in the whole garden. I\nlooked at the name, but it meant\nnothing to me. On the plaque\nnear It were the words \"Kellebor-\nus Niger.\" Cave kindly explained\nto me that It was a Christmas rose.\nAt the top of this section we a-\ngain passed the sundial. It still\ndidn't check with my watch.\nFAMILIAR FACES\nAs we walked slowly down the\npath next to the trees and shrubs\nI was able to pick out many familiar plants. Right next was a\ncedar, a little farther down a rhododendron, a tamarac, a Douglas\nfir, a spruce, and even the infamous plant of B.C.'s forest regions,\nthe \"echlnopanoax horridus,\" more\ncommonly known and felt as the\nDevil's Club.\nWe paid a brief visit to the\nfrog pond, but nothing was to\nbe seen there but water. The\nfrogs, apparently, are still\nsleeping In.\nI gave the totem poles due consideration. They are both quite\nlarge, about fifteen feet high.\nBoth are figures of men, facing\nin opposite directions. It seems\nthat the one on the right came originally from an Indian ceremonial house which was used only on\nrare occasions. If any more of the\nposts were like that particular one,\nI can easily understand why.\nMr, Cave told me that that was\nabout all there was, so I thanked\n* him and proceeded on my way.\nI passed the sundial again. It still\ndidn't check.\nAnd then it hit me.\nIt didn't check for two reasons:\nOne, the sun wasn't out, and two,\nI didn't have a watch.\nlast\nlaughs\nJosephine was getting on ln the\ntwenties and she was beginning to\ndespair of Pete's proposal.

War was caused not by\nthose with capital but those without.\nStating that insecurity grew under capitalistic system, June\nWrong added that this made for\nclass conflicts which in turn lead\nto national and international\nstrife.\nBarbara Hood drew an analogy\nbetween the capitalistic system and\nthe world community.

I have yet to see. The students get a chance to prove\nthat they still have spirit within the next two weeks.\nFor within that period, the minor basketball league starts\nits playoffs. And the whole point is, there will be three\nVarsity outfits taking part in them.\nAs a matter of fact, the Intermediate B playdowns commenced Tuesday night down at the old King Edward stand.\nBut the Varsity crew for that division, Pete McGeer's Thunderbugs, don't get started for a few days yet.\nThe other two UBC quintets in minor circles are the\nThunderbees, coached by Vic Pinchon, and Art Johnson's\nBig Chiefs, in the Intermediate A bracket. As yet, the dates\nfor these playoffs are not set.\nCasaba Outfits Do Well\nNow, these three clubs have done well so far this season.\nAs a matter of fact, they have performed excellently. The\nThunderbugs are second in the Inter B loop; the Thunderbees\nare third among the Senior B's, and the Inter A Chiefs are\nsecond in Senior A company.\nBut these same clubs have had very little in the way\nof support from the student body. Only at the senior league\ngames have I seen any Varsity rooters to speak of, although\nthere has been the odd night when a few friends of the\nThunderbugs showed their faces at the King Ed emporium to\nsupport their pals.\nAn example of the lack of support was Tuesday night's\ngame when the Thunderbees meet the rugged North Shore\nReds. Coming from behind to tie the score just before the\nfinal whistle, the Bees made a good battle out of it through\nsheer fight, but lost in overtime by a measely basket.\nUBC Needs Rooters, Too\nIt was their own enthusiasm that drove them in the last\nqurater, but they ran out of gas in the overtime period. But\na little bit of solid support might have stemmed them through\nto victory.\nThe following game between Heather Cubs and Vancouver College, the first playoff tilt of the Inter B division,\nwas an illustration of what rooting can do for a team.\nBoth outfits had a strong supporting section, but the\nCub rooters outnumbered the College kids, and cheered their\nteam to victory. But it was not without a fight, for the Vancouver College supporters rooted their colorful club in a\nlast-quarter drive which had the Cubs worried.\nIf Varsity's numerous students only knew how much a\nstrong cheering section means to a team, they wouldn't hesitate in turning out in huge numbers to every UBC battle.\nOr are the Varsity fnumphs and galumphs too busy with\ntheir social-page headlirie*Muff to come out to an honest-to-\ngoodness game of clean sport?\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 HOOP A LA RUGGER\u00E2\u0080\u0094Rumour has it that there will\nbe no such sight as the above for students this year. It\nseems that those worthy inhabitants of the AMS office, which\nis to be found somewhere in the Brock, they tell us, want\nto bring out implements of torture in the way of hockey\nsticks for this year's Pub-Council game, instead of staging\nthe usual basketball battle. Could it be that the \"Dirty Nine\"\nthink murder would be simpler in this cruelest game of\ngames?\n\"DIRTY NINE\" THREATEN;\nDEMAND HOCKEY BATTLE\nBy LAURIE DYER\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 COULD THEY BE SCARED? Is their opposition too\nstrong?? What other reason could they have? Why should\nthe \"Dirty Nine\" want to change the annual Pub-Council\ngame from the traditional hoopla to this wild game which\nthe \"weaker\" sex indulges in, called hockey?\nYes, it seems that the members\n, of this year'i council want to hold\nthe minor blood donation on a\ngraai field in the Stadium instead\nof the hard maple courta of the\ngym. Recently, Oeorge Rush, president of the MAA, proposed to\nthe mighty Editor of this esteemed\nnewspaper, J. T. Scott, that the\npubsters try to field a hockey\nteam.\nHARD MAPLE BETTER\nOf course, this would have its\nadvantages, for grass is not as\ngood a bone-breaker as the fine\nquality maple in our gym. Yes,\nthere is only one solution. The\nCouncil has been spending so many hours trying to find ways of\nwinning that they have decided\nthe only way is to bring in some\ninstrument with which they can\nknock the Pubsters out of the\nway in a more legal manner.\nAll this is the cause of great\npandemonium In the Pub. The\nmembers of the staff feel that it\nis not a good idea to break away\nfrom tradition, particularly with\nsuch a splendid hoopla team in\nits ranks. Of course this is not\nthe point, for it matters not what\ngame is playod since only one\nteam can win, and it is obvious\nwhich team tliat will be.\nIT MUST BE 1HOOPLA\nTake, for Irstancc, one Lucifer\nQ. Moyls. Now here is a king of\nall sports. He's just rather particular where he gets killed. Besides, hoopla is a more manly\nsport and therefore a much more\nfitting burial ground.\nThen there is one more little\npoint. It's not hard to fiiyl FIVE\nmen over six feet tall, but it\nwould be a Uttle harder to find\nenough for a hockey contest.\nHowever, do not let lt be said\nthat the members of the Pub are\ncringing. We will play whatever\nwe are asked to\u00E2\u0080\u0094as long as we're\nasked to play basketball.\nBruins Take Leafs\nAs Cain Cops Four\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 BOSTON Bruins moved out of\ntheir fourth-place deadlock\nwith New York's Rangers by beating Toronto Maple Leafs S - S\nTuesday night in the only NHL\ntilt that night.\nBoston's Herbie Cain set the\npace for the Bruins, whipping in\nfour of his team's five goals. The\nveteran left winger scored a pair\nin each of the first two periods.\nHis first two counters were (batted\nin from close range, the other two\nwere long drives on passes from\ndefencemen Shewchuck and\nCrawford.\nThe old reliable Sweeney Schrl-\nner notched Toronto's only first\nperiod goal on a pass from Art\nJackson.\nThe other two Toronto goals\nwere scored by Babe Pratt. The\nhustling Maple Leaf defender\nslapped home Lome Carr's pass\nfor his first tally, and then in the\ndying moments of the game he\nreceived the puck from Gus Bod-\nnar to slip it home for his second\nmarker.\nNorth Shore Reds Defeat\nUBC Thunderbees, 35-37\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 THERE WERE tears of sorrow streaming down the\ncheeks of Varsity's famed Thunderbees after their game\nat King Edward Gym Tuesday night as the North Shore\nReds, who are currently leading the Senior B basketball\nleague on the wrong end, eked out a 37-35 victory over the\nVarsity crew in overtime.\nMcKECHNIE CUP\nTILT SHUNTED;\nSERIES STARTS\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 POSTPONEMENT of Saturday's McKechnie English Rugby match between the Varsity\nThunderbirds and the Vancouver\nReps was made definite Wednesday\nwhen the Vancouver Rugby Union\nannounced re-schedullng the game\nfor Saturday, January 27. It is\nhoped that the present Street Car\nStrike will be over by then.\nMeanwhile, Secretary Jack Waters reports that the Tisdall Cup\nSeries Is due to start this weekend\nin spite of the tram tie-up. As yet,\nthe teams competing in this week's\ngames have not been announced.\nThis season, there are five outfits\nentered for Tisdall Cup competition, one more than entered for\nthe Miller Cup. The five are\nVarsity, UBC, Rowing Club, Ex-\nBritannia and Ex-Byng.\nCoeds Splash\nAt Swim Fest\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 CO-ED water-babies take their\nfirst plunge of the season\nwhen they troup out en masse to\nshow off their aquatic skill Saturday evening at the YMCA.\nThe first event on the prograrh\nwill be a free style dash with one\nrepresentative from each faculty\nswimming one length of the pool.\nThe next item is a honeymoon\nrace which should be well worth\nseeing. The groom, attired in\nslacks, shirt and hat swims the\nlength of the pool to obtain his\nbride. The lucky woman, clad in\nveil, long skirt.and carrying flowers then tows her exhausted mate\nback to the starting point.\nA shuttle relay, glove race, and\nlife saving race hold down third,\nfourth and fifth places on the\ncard respectively.\nMusic lovers are In store for\na treat ln the pennant race,\nwhen girls from each faculty\nlustily sing words of \"Hail\nUBC\" between mouthfuls of\nwater while carrying a pennant\nbetween them.\nThe eighth and last event in this\ngala evening will be a dive contest. Three dives must be prepared: a standing plain, an optional, and a comic plunge.\nEach woman that enters\nscores Ave points toward her\nIntramural award, and places\nherself in running for a swim\ncup to be awarded the girl aggregating the highest score during the evening.\nLet's ge all Cut to make this\nevening a huge success. However,\nif the strike is still on, the party\nwill be postponed.\nHowever, the grim battle\nbrought forth a new Varsity star\nin the person of Bud Huyck, who\ncontinued to amaze the spectators\nwith his u/iusual two-handed\nEastern style shots which managed\nto swish through the hoop for 12\npoints.\nREDS ROUGH IT\nPete McQeer, with the typical\none-handed Western style, sank 10\npoints for second score of the contest. Entertaining from start to\nfinish, the crucial tilt started off\nwell for the Reds, who piled up\na 10-7 lead by half time.\nAs the More Indicates, the\ngame was a little On the rough\nside, with the inexperienced\nStudents getting the worst of\nit. After the breather, however, the two clubs settled\ndown to shoot a few baskets\nInstead of the regular elbowing, etc.\nA basket and a free shot by big\nChes Pedersen put the Thunderbees on an even count with the\nReds, 10-all. From there in, the\nmargin between the two scores\nwas never greater than two points.\nBACK TO NATURE\nWith 20 seconds left in the game,\nthe Students were on the trailing\nend of a 35-33 count, but MoOeer\nfound the hoop for the tying score\na few ticks before the flnal whistle\nto knot the battle.\nThe five - minute overtime\nperiod featured a return to the\nStone Age. Basketball antics\nreached extreme proportions as\nthe 10 men (?) on the floor\n.proceeded to give out with\nevery act of energy-wasting In\nthe books.\nSomehow, the more sturdily built\nJimmy Spencer, better known to\nVarsity's soccer squads, managed\nto fling a shot towards one of the\nhoops. By some queer stroke of\nluck (for the Reds), the melon\ncame down through the Varsity\nnet to give North Van the game\nby a 37-35 score.\nThe loss for Varsity cleared matters considerably for league officials. With a win, the Students\nwould have had a chance to make\ntop spot, but they now lie firmly\nentrenched in third spot with\nthree wins and three losses.\nNORTH SHORE - Hall, Hunter,\nByford 9, Spenser 9, Haar 1, Clark,\nBrow 6, Harvery 12. Total 37.\nVARSITY - King 1, Hooson 4,\nMcGeer 10, Edwards, Pedersen 5,\nClimie, Vaughn 1, Huyck 12,\nBryant 2. Total 35.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 * \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 VARSITY'S Swimming Club\nholds its regular weekly meeting tonight from 5'o'clock until 7\nat the Crystal Pool. However, the\nmeeting will be postponed if the\nstreet car strike ls still unsettled.\nAll UBC aquatic enthusiasts\nshould turn out if street oars put\nin an appearance by 4 o'clock this\nafternoon.\nJoe Intramural Busy Sports Promoter Around UBC Campus\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 ONE OF the most interesting characters\non this campus is Joe Intramural. Little\nJoe has frequented our Point Grey site for\nmany years, but according to him and those\nwho know him, last year was one of his best\nseasons around UBC.\nWith 16 teams\ncompeting in the various events, the enthusiastic players\nturned out in goodly\nnumbers to engage in\nthe 11 sports featured\nby Joe on last year's\nprogram.\nAs usual, basketball was one of Joe Intramural's main\nsports. Joe spent two and sometimes three\nperiods a week with the boys in the gym as\nthey indulged in the gentle art of hoopla.\nLittle Joe drops\naround to see the\nKappa Sigs whenever\nhe's in a mood for basketball lore. As usual,\nthis fraternity's team\ncopped the casaba\nchampionship in last\nyear's competition.\nNext to basketball, volleyball took most of Little Joe's\nattention. It was quite a treat to watch Joey\nbatting the ball over the fish nets to the\ngreatest glee of all concerned.\ny\nST\nYes, Joe had quite a good year in that\ndepartment, too. The DU's (Delta Upsilon\nto freshmen) came out on top in that league.\nBut this year, when the volleyball season\nended a few weeks ago, Little Joe announced that he considered himself a full cousin\nof any Mu Phi.\n, The third full\ntime occupation of Joe\nIntramural was Touch\nFootball. Joe and his\ncohorts had a little\ntrouble with this rugged outdoor sport last\nyear. They started it\noff in the Fall, but had\nto wait until Spring, when the weather became more suitable, before finishing it off.\nThose high flying\nKappa Sigs walked\nthrough the opposition in this field, too,\na s they slashed\nthrough a double\nknockout series t o\ntake Joe's blessing as\ncampus grid experts.\nOf course, one of\nthe big moments in Little Joe's life is when\nhe gives out with the famed Cross Country\nrace. Joe finds it a hard life when you're\nin training for this event. Getting to bed at\n7 o'clock every night doesn't appeal to him,\nbut he says the trip to Spokane is worth it.\nHe confided that it is getting a little\ntough to keep up with the gang now that\nhe is not getting any younger, and the pace\nis getting a little faster each year. But he\nfigures he'll star on\nthe cinders again\nwhen all the McPher-\nsons have passed\nthrough UBC.\nLast year, Joe Intramural put on several good nights of\nbadminton too. Joe ran this event off as a\ndouble knockout series in the gym. Although it was out of the hunting season, he\nand his gang literally\nslaughtered the birds\nthose nights. Joe intends to get another\ngood bag this season\ntoo, if the Street Car\nStrike ever ends.\nOne of the most\npleasant nights that\nJoey has every year is\nspent in the YMCA pool. Little Joe says\nthat, next to the annual dunkings in the\nLily Pond, he likes the Spring Swim Meet\nmost.\nIn spite of the limited seating capacity\nat the pool, Joe's friends turn out in large\nnumbers to watch the annual affair. Last\nyear, the Phi Kappa Sigs won the championship on total points.\nAnd then Joe owns a bat and ball which\nhe hauls out of the\ncloset every Spring.\nAccording to Joey,\nsoftball is his ideal\ngame. On fine days he\ndelights in the beautiful coeds who come\nto watch him perform.\nMy but he sure can\npowder that mushball\nthen. Incidentally, the 'Kappa Sigma boys\nwalked away with everything but the bases\nin that event, too.\nFinally, Joe Intramural rounded off the\nyear with a gala track\nmeet in the Stadium.\nThat was when Joe\npulled out his spikes\nand shorts to show the\nyoung sprinters a\nthing or two. Joe\nweakened in the last\nstretch, however, as\nthe young Freshmen,\nthe Mu Phis, ran off with the track title.\nSo you see, Joe Intramural is quite a\nbusy character around these parts. Although\nJoe has found his style cramped by the\nStreet Car Strike, he expects to get back to\nwork as soon as the University Bus gets\nback on the job."@en . "Newspapers"@en .
