At dawn yesterday\nthe enemy gunfire cut off further\nescape. But additional survivors\nwere rescued last night and early\ntoday.

Page Two\nTHE UBYSSEY\nFrom Th\u00C2\u00AB Editor's Pen\n\u00C2\u00BB \u00C2\u00BB \u00C2\u00BB\nKindergarten Lecture No. 1\nEvery year at this time there begins on\nthis campus a flurry of excitement which\neventually becomes known as a \"clean-up\ndrive\". Usually the flurry of excitement appears only in the Ubyssey. Sometimes it\nlunges from the depths of old waste paper\nbaskets of the Caf, scurrying from its birthplace, the student council room, where it is\nbeaten about every Monday night with the\nusual volume of minutes.\nSome one has started the duster this\nyear. We do not know exactly who he is,\nbut again we cast our eyes apprehensively\nup to the top corner of the Brock. It seems\nto us that we've done this thing before,\nbut let us again pay a little attention to our\ncampus' appearance.\nSome one, also most likely a council\nmember, once said that UBC has the most\nbeautiful campus in the world. With our\nlimited knowledge of the world's campi, we\ncannot second this motion, but we can say\nthat our Point Grey lawns, woods and permanent buildings would place high in any\ncontest for the most beautiful campus in\nthe world.\nUBC students cannot pat themselves on\nthe back for tills because it was none of their\ndoing. It has been left to us by nature and\na few farsighted planners. It is part of our\ninheritance. Nobody should say that we\n\"must\" keep it this way. Anybody with an\ninheritance, whether it be Aunt Molly's brass\nbrooch or her several million dollars \"will\"\nkeep lt. Ours is not exactly a brass brooch,\nbut it is something to keep and admire, to\nvise and to hold for ourselves and those to\nwhom we will bequeath it.\nStudents, in the thoughtless gay abandon with which they saunter about the\ncampus eating their lunches, throw the\npapers from the lunches any which way\ntheir fancy chooses. This seems to be the\nworst crime of students against their campus.\nThere are two logical remedies for this condition. Eat lunches in the Caf or any place\nwhere there are waste paper baskets, or\nhold the urge to throw paper while walking\nuntil the nearest receptacle hovers into view.\nFrankly, we could never see the advantage of eating and walking at the same time.\nThere are many disadvantages. We suggest\nto those who eat and walk at the same time\nthat they try it sitting down for a while. To\nthose who do sit down on the lawns to eat\ntheir lunches, a delightful pastime these days\nwe must admit, we suggest that they gather\ntheir little bundles of paper together and\ncart them off to one of those green cans\nwhich dot the campus.\nThis has been a cute little kindergarten\nlesson which we hope the university students\non the campus will quite rightly ignore. At\nall the kiddies who love to throw paper,\nhowever, we sternly shake our editorial\nfinger. There is nothing more that anyone\ncan say to aid a clean-up campaign. It is all\nvery well to start one, to keep the issue\nbefore the eyes of the students, but unless\neach and everyone of the 2700 undergraduates on this campus makes a conscious\neffort to keep the campus clean, all the,\nbeautiful campaigns cooked up by council\nwill only waste the ink of council minute\nbooks.\nSardines In The Brock\nLast Tuesday's Frosh Reception set\nsome kind of a record. Brock Hall, which\nhas seen a good many large crowds, met\nits master, but nobody is quite sure just who\ncame out on top. Accurate figures of the\nnumber of undergraduates who jammed\nthemselves into UBC's student union building are unavailable, but it is our conservative\nguess that the number approached 1200,\nthen leaped and plunged on into fantastic\nfigures.\nMembers of the Student Council, attempting to introduce everybody to the\npatrons, finally gave up\u00E2\u0080\u0094asked the Frosh\nto introduce themselves, and then in desperation diverted the line-up to the dance\nfloor.\nBut it was a wonderful reception. Overheard on the dance floor: \"Too bad all these\npeople have to breathe\". The Freshmen were\nintroduced to Varsity life in a manner which\nthey will never forget. Everybody had a\ngood time, and perhaps the good time was\nenhanced by the sardine can effect.\nIn a way it was too bad that some of the\nFreshmen did not get to meet the patrons.\nAlthough it is a hair-raising job to introduce\nso many to so few and a handshaking nightmare for the few. it is probably the only\ntime that many of the Freshmen will ever\nmeet the presiding officers of the University\nAdministration.\nOf course the president and the deans\nwill never remember the names of the undergraduates they met Tuesday night, but to\nthe Freshmen it is an experience which they\nwill not forget for some time. To them, it\nis ego enhancement of the first order, but\nthen everybody can stand a little enhancement of the ego once in a while.\nAll in all, UBC handled its traditional\ninitiation of the Freshmen in a manner\nwhich will cause beams of approval from\nthe ghost-like faces of past members of student council, which haunt the walls of the\ncouncil room. Those who were in charge\nof arrangements should well be proud of\nthemselves. We hope it is an indication of\nfuture successes.\nstresses and strains ... i>y Brae, b,w\u00C2\u00BBu\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 SEVERAL YOUNG innocent freshmen\nhave been observed gazing in awe-\nstricken silence at the mighty men of the\ncampus who go about modestly attired in\nscarlet sweaters and unpressed trousers.\nMany of these freshmen have as their fondest\ndream the picture of the day when they too\nwill get 60 per cent in Math 1, Chem 1 and\nPhys 1 and win admission to the \"largest\nfraternity on the campus.\"\nSTERLING CHARACTER\nThese serious redshirted students, 500\nstrong, are men of sterling character who\nhave many virtues and practically no vices.\nTrue, many of them have picturesque vocabularies which would make a truck driver\nwince. Some smoke pipes that make S02\nin the Chem 2 lab smell like Chanel Number\nFive by comparison.\nLarge numbers have a passion for a\nbeverage obtained at premises marked\n\"Licensed\", and of which they proudly claim\nthat they can demolish forty. This is, perhaps, their favourite indoor sport.\n\"WE ARE, WE ARE\"\nFurthermore, they are wont to gather\nin large numbers and disturb the peace by\ngiving forth with their tribal chant, a literary\ngem which begins, \"We are, we are,\" and\ngoes on to condemn to eternal perdition all\nthose who do not agree with them on certain\nfundamental points. The rendering of this\nyell is a close second favourite indoor recreation.\nAfter all, they are not prudes. They are,\nas they will proudly tell you or anyone else\nwho happens to be within a half-mile radius,\nthe engineers.\nFor some unknown reason, every time\nhell breaks loose on the campus these men\nof science are blamed as a matter of course.\nThis is a deplorable situation which they are\nat a loss to explain. They claim that their\naccusers cannot possibly be right more than\nten times out of every nine.\nThe remarkable esprit de corps of the\nengineers can be traced to the fact that all\nengineers suffer together through the same\ncourses for their first three years at UBC.\nIt is only reasonable that after working together seven hours a day, five and one half\ndays a week for that time they come to think\nof each other as brothers.\nOut of this great faculty spirit there\narise difficulties. Certain people on the\ncampus who believe that the Caf is the\ncenter of university life cannot see how anyone can spend his spare hours anywhere\nelse. When someone points out to one of\nthese Caf hounds that the engineers do not\nhaunt the smoke-filled auditorium basement\nhe immediately assumes that the poor boys\ncannot tear themselves away from their\nbooks.\nINNOCENT PASTIMES\nHe doesn't bother to look in on the\nbridge games in the mechanical building\n(discipline committee please disregard), the\nhorseshoe pitch by the fire hall, the ball\n. game behind the bus stop or any of the\nother off-shift hangouts of the engineers. He\njust blithely assumes that the engineers have\nno extra-curricular activities. He therefore\nwrites a letter to the editor of the Ubyssey\nand starts a crusade to liberate the poor\noverworked engineer.\nFAIL MISERABLY\nThese crusaders invariably fail miserably, mainly because they are blind to the\nfact that the engineers do not need liberation\nor enlightenment. The average engineer has\njust as many extra-curricular activities as\nany other undergraduate, but because these\nself-appointed friends of science cannot see\nthis they gain nothing but the derision of\nthose they think they are enlightening.\nSooner or later they give up and depart,\nleaving the engineers to mutter to themselves:\n\"Our enemies we can take care of, but\nheaven protect us from our friends.\"\nMember\nBritish United Prets\nCanadian University Press\nOffices Brock HaU\nPhone ALma 1624\nFor Advertising\nStandard Publishing Co.

It's\naward and\nchievement.\nToday is the first anniversary\nof the establishment of \"A\" a-\nwards. The program for food processors first was announced last\nSeptember 18th. Since then, more\nthan 200 food processing plants\nhave received this high honor.\nJust as the standards set for an\n\"A\" In school are high, certain\nrequirements have to be met for a\nplant to deserve the \"A\" award.\nThe War Food Administration considers the quantity and quality of\nthe plant's output, and the plant's\nIngenuity and co-operation with\nthe Government. The condition of\nmanagement-labor relations, the\nrate of absenteeism, health, accident and sanitation conditions also\nare important.\nYou can identify one of thes\nhonored plants by the large \"A\"\nflag flying over the building. The\ngreen background of the flag symbolizes the agricultural background of the food processing industry. The circle in the middle\nformed by a head of wheat and a\nsteel gear signifies production.\nThen the large blue \"A\" in the\nmiddle stands for achievement.\nThe first year a plant earns one\nof these flags, a white star will be\nplaced in the upper left-hand corner. If this same plant gels thn\naward the next year, another star\nwill be added.\n^_________ Thursday, September 28, 1944\nThe World Of Music\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 NEW YORK (UP)\u00E2\u0080\u0094The high spot so far of the baUet\nseason now well in its stride here has been the presentation of a new work, \"Danses Concertantes,\" set by George\nBalanchine to music by Igor Stravinstky.\nIt turned out to be a visual and\nmusical treat. The exciting demands of the score and choreography were fully met by the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, which\ngave the world premiere on opening night, with four repeats within a week. Alexandra Danllova\nand Frederic Franklin danced the\nleading roles.\nNEW MEANING\nThe settings and colorful costumes by \"Eugene Berman added a\ngreat deal to a work of all-around\nbalance.

But leave us not get romantic. After all, I've got\nto grind out some sort of a column before I get through\npounding heck out of this typewriter.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 As I was saying, comes the end of September and a\nsensational situation arises somewhere in the world of sports.\nPerhaps you have guessed it already, and then again, maybe\nyou haven't.\nBut, nevertheless, I'm not going to keep you in suspense\nany longer. For you know and I know, and most healthy\ncharacters know that, comes the end of September, and the\nWorld Series invariably arrives with it. And with the World\nSeries comes the question of who will win it. There, I've\nsaid it at last.\nEven Studes Are Interested\nThis classic affair between the winners of the American\nand National Baseball Leagues must be quite an interesting\naffair. They tell me students skip all kinds of lectures and\nlabs just so they can congregate in the Brock and other\ncomfortable places on the Campus to listen to the broadcast\nof the epic series,\nTruly, this occasion must be a noteworthy one, for it\nis not often that the students of the University of British\nColumbia are attracted by anything that is just outside the\nCampus, let alone something t that is happening several\nthousand miles away.\nThis year, the World Series situation is really grim. It\nis much more serious than somewhat. And it's all the fault of\nthe Detroit Tigers and the St. Louis Browns. Just because\nthese two clubs decide to make it a battle to the bitter end\nof the American League, nobody knows yet just who is\ngoing to meet the senior league winners, the St. Louis\nCardinals.\nWhat A Bunch Of Fnumphs!\nBut those Brownies are the fnumphs of tfiat junior loop.\nWhat a bunch of fninks they turned out to be.

Word came in that the blood brothers of the\nRedbirds started selling World Series tickets on Wednesday.\nWhat a thing to do! Confidence is a wonderful thing.\nPersonal, I don't care for-Detroit or St. Louis. Myself,\nI am a Yankee man from way back when. And seeing as\nthose Brownies and Bengals squelched my club, I am forced\nto turn to the Cards. (Just for this series, though.)\nMind you, the Yanks still have a slim mathematical\nchance of beating out the Amerk loop, and if they do, I'm\nback with them.

Although\nthere isn't ond in circulation yet, steps are being made to\norganize a new snappy set-up. At least, this was the major\ntopic of discussion at the first meeting of the Vancouver\nand District League at Pro-Rec Gym on Tuesday night.\nBest proposal of the brief conference was that a commission be set up to control the player situation while keeping\nthe accent on youth. For it was unanimously agreed that a\nloop of young teams, comparable to Varsity, would be the\nbest bet for a successful season.\nAnother important point on the agenda was the discussion concerning the drastic shortage of basketball players.\nThis came to a head when it was suggested that UBC, which\n,has more than it's share of hoopsters, be requested to lift\nit's strict eligibility regulations for the duration so that\ncommercial teams might obtain players who do not make\nthe Varsity squads.\nAlready, steps are being made to present this proposal\nto the MAD, since the BCABA passed a motion to do so\nat their meeting a week ago.\nRight now, there are only two clubs ready for Senior\nA competition, the Thunderbirds and Vancouver RCAF. The\nstudents have plenty of fine hoop material; enough to mould\nboth a championship Senior A Club and a Frosh Intermediate A outfit as well.\nFurther developments in the basketball situation should\nappear within the next week, since there is a meeting of\nthe Minor Divisions at the YMCA tonight at 8 o'clock, and\nthere will be a general meeting of the V and D League\nnext Thursday.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 (or anybody\nBy PETE McGEER\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 THIS IS THE annual sermon, which I've been elected to write this\nyear.

Perhaps, as a\ncolumnist suggested last year, the women are too enthralled by the smoke\n4hey blow at the ceiling, but an absolutely free, no-strings-attached game\nwould seem to me to be much more attractive. Much the same applies\nto the males, drool in your coke bottles some other time, eh fellows!\nThe program does feature a great many of our so-called spectator\nsports. In the fall there are two touch football games going on every fine\nday. They're played at noon in the stadium and they're worth watching.\nA wide open game is pretty well standard but there is plenty of hard\nbody contact too. Wednesday and Friday at noon, volleyball is played in\nthe gym. And don't fool yourself, two good teams can give you plenty of\nthrills. Sometime in October the cross country is run, but most people\nknow all about it and it is well supported.\nWhen Christmas is past, volleyball gives way to basketball and\nwith our lovely spring weather following in March everyone turns out\nfor baseball. Two days are always set aside for a track meet sometime\nnear the first of March. With these, as with all the other sports, we can't\nalways guarantee finesse on the field but we will vouch for the fact\nthat an abundance of spirit usually makes up for it.\nThe program also includes meets in golf, ping pong, badminton,\nsnooker and swimming but we'll excuse you from attendance at these\nas they're either inconvenient to get to, or else there isn't room to put\nyou in.\nWell, there you are kiddies, an appeal and an invitation to all and\nsundry. Come out and cheer for someone and if you can't find an\nappropriate object of adulation then you can have no end of fun hissing\nat everyone. Just don't drool on any reporters. They might float away\nand they're so scarce we can't afford to lose any except on vital\nassignments.\nThe program starts about October 5th so we'll look for you all then.\nHave a \"Coke\"= You're back among friends\nor a way to put service men at ease\nHome is hospitality headquarters with Welcome so often summed\nup in three words, Have a \"Coke\". That's your fighting man's\nway of saying You're my pal. Around the globe, Coca-Cola is\nspreading the custom of the pause that refreshes,\u00E2\u0080\u0094h*s become\na symbol of friendly refreshment to folks at home and at war.\nThe Coca-Cola Company of Canada, Limited, Vancouver\n\"CokeM=Coca.Cola\ntt't natural (or popular names\nto acquire friendly abbreviations.
