A.\nM. MacKenzie, president of the\nuniversity in a letter to the\nUbyssey today.\nDr. MacKenzie was replying to\nan editorial in The Ubyssey on\nJanuary 5, which criticized the\nbuildings and grounds department\nlor the condition of the east mall.\n\"1 agree with you wholeheartedly\nthat the East Mall is and has been\nfor many years desperately in need\nof paving,' President MacKenzie\nsaid in the letter.\nHe said that work of this nature has not been carried out because of a lack ot funds. \"The\nBoard of Governors had estimates\nmade some years ago and the figures quoted us then were about\n1100,000,\" the president said.\nDr. MacKenzie expressed hope\nthat it will be possible ln the future to have all roads on the campus property paved and lighted. He\nsaid that this can be done only\nwhen the Provincial Government\nor some other body does this work\nor makes funds available for the\nproject.\n\"The only alternative to this la\nto increase the fees of the students to take care of items of this\nkind,\" the president said.\nHe emphasized that the responsibility for matters*of this kind\nrested with the university administration and not with the department of buildings and grounds.\nUbyssey Photo by Bob Steiner\nDOING THEIR DARNDEST to catch a man for the annual\nWUS Sadie Hawkin's Day Co-Ed are Doris Becker, first year\narts (left), and Pat Grindlay, a second year arts student.

It was presented to\n25 clubs executives on November\n30, and tabled for further consideration.\nHind-Smith claimed that the\nnews of the brief was prematurely\nreleased, as copies had only just\nbeen distributed to the clubs, and\nexecutives had not had sufficient\ntimo to discuss its content.\nFor the proposals contained in\nthe brief to go into effect it must\nfirst be approved by the clubs mak\ning up lhe LSE ind then submitted\nto a student referendum.\nSTATEMENTS\nFollowing are statements by club\nexecutives on the LSE brief:\nRon Alltree, Radio Society: \"So\nfar we haven't dipped into our budget, therefore a cut would not hurt\nus. We are neither for or against\nthe proposal at the present time.\nBarry Baldwin, Mamooks: What\nthe LSE does doesn't affect us. If\nwe bad no budget we would have\nto charge clubs for posters.\nLawrence Lyndt, Civil Liberties\nUnion; We can't make a definite\nstatement of policy until we know\nwhere we stand financially. The\nLSE has the best Interest of the\nstudents at heart.\nSMALL CLUBS HIT\nRoy Haapala, Social Problems\nClub. There should be a fee increase of one dollar. Clubs are now\non a virtual austerity program.\nDorothy Fox, Student Peace\nMovement, SCM: 1 helped draw up\nthe brief but my opinions on it\nhave since been modified ln several respects.\nCONFIDENCE\nVaughn Lyon, Liberal Club:\nWhen LSE adopts a brief it will\nbe a good one.\nAn LSE meeting will be held In\nthe near future in order to discuss\nthe brief more fully.\nUSC's Disciplinary Committee was labelled \"the biggest\nfarce on the campus\" by a member of the committee in a heated discussion at the regular Undergraduate Societies meeting\nyesterday.\nMurray Martindale, Commerce\nrepresentative on UBC and two-\nyear member of the Disciplinary\nCommittee, hotly aired his views\non the work and nature of this\ncommittee when action was sought\nto try enforcing Brock Hall regulations.\n\"As far as I'm concerned, the\nDiscipline Committee is the biggest farce on the campus and might\nJust as well fold up right now,\"\nMartindale said.\nDONE NOTHING\n\"We haven't done a thing all\nyear and everything is running\na'long just fine,\" he said.\nHe said that conditions in the\nBrpck are taken care of favorably\nby the maintenance men in charge\nand they wield much more authority in the eyes of the students than\na fellow classmate \"with a little\ncard like a police badge.\"\n\"What would the average stu\ndent think of a fellow or a co-ed\nfor that matter, coming up to him\nin the Brock and saying, 'Hey.\nlake away your AMS card?' \" Mar-\nMac.

Fpr only\nia Don Quixote would be naive enough to\nbelieve that he could, all alone, tackle the\ngiant windmill of inflation.\nIt's like fearing that the vast Pacific will\nflood us out if we indulge in a poker game\ncalled \"Spit in The Ocean.\"\nIt's a grim truth that costs have been\nspiralling, upward ever since 1939. Yet the\nAMS has imposed no fee raise whatever for\nitt? own benefit since those pre-war days.\nIt's true that fees have jumped twice in\nthe last 10 years, making a total hike of $3.\nBut the $2 raise went directly into the War\nWashed Up ?\nIn the news columns of today's papers i\nmember ef the USC discipline committee has\ncommented that his committee is little more\nthan a farce.\nMr. Martindale, who has served on the\ncommittee for two years, should know. One\nmight, of course, be pardoned for asking why\nhe has done nothing to make the committee\nsomething more than a farce, but this is\nhardly the point.\nIt seems likely that thc committee is a\nfarce because it has no power to be anything\nmore than a farce and because, anyway, the\nwhole concept of \"discipline committees\" in\na university is ridiculous.\nMemorial Gymnasium drive, and the other\ndollar was tacked on to help bring foreign\nstudents here under the \"Education in Democracy\" plan.\nIt's also true that some AMS executives\nof the recent past have said that fees are\nhigh enough already. But their epoch is over.\nIt will long be remembered as the Pink Cloud\nEra of UBC finance.\nWe believe that AMS Treasurer John\nMcKinnon and his colleagues have their feet\non the ground.\nIt they're honest enough to admit it,\nthey'll say that it's time students began to\nshare the financial burden that budget-juggling treasurers have been carrying far too\nlong.\nWe can't go along with Pedersen's cheap\npolitical shystering when he obviously wants\nmore money at the expense of the Ostrom\nPlan.\nBut a fact is a fact. The Alma Mater\nSociety is cutting some things a little too fine\nfor all of us.\nFor our own good, let's all chip in another dollar apiece.\nAbout all the committee can do is to take\naway the student's AMS pass\u00E2\u0080\u0094and a lot of\nstudents never bother to pick up their passes\nto begin with. What's more, those who do get\nthem seldom use them. The loss is not very\ngreat.\nThe real point, though, is that the few\nrules which are necessary to preserve student\nequipment really don't need a discipline committee to enforce them. Proctors should be\nable to inject a quiet word here and there\nand that should be all a university would\never need.\nWe can only conclude that Mr. Martin-\ndale's committee should have been washed\nout long ago.\nSifting the Cinema by Stanley fox\nThe temptation among critics, at this\ntime of the year, to make lists of \"The Best\n.... of 1950\" is irresistable. Here, for what\nit is worth, is my list of films most enjoyed\nlast year\u00E2\u0080\u0094approximately in order o*f merit.\n\"The Bicycle Thief\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094This Italian film\nis one of the most significant works of art\nof our time. Its humanity and profound moral\nsense are conveyed to the spectator with\ngreat dramatic force. It seems rather silly\nto call it \"The Best Film of 1950\", or any\nother year for that matter. It would more\ncorrect to term it simply \"The Best Film.\"\n\"Sunset Boulevard\" although tainted\nwith commercialism \u00E2\u0080\u0094 remember the pointless, atmosphere destroying commentary \u00E2\u0080\u0094\ncontained enough excitement, imagination\nand insight into the Hollywood mentality together with the stunning performances nf\nGloria Swanson and Erich von Stroheim, to\neasily qualify for second place.\n\"Wagonmaster\", the great John Ford's\npoetic western in praise of the pioneering\nspirit, was a splendid, even noble, account\nof a wagon trek by a band of Mormons.\nFord's favorite theme, the beauty of a life of\ncreation and enterprise, was presented in a\nmanner which recalled his other triumphs,\n\"Stagecoach\" and \"My Darling Clementine.\"\n\"The Asphalt Jungle\" turned out to be\nJohn Huston's most successful study of\nthe criminal mind since \"The Maltese Falcon.\" The film wa.s really a documentary view\nof the undcrworcl, presenting it not as a\nnaive affair of gangs and personal loyalties\nbut rather as a reflection of the world of\ncommerce, differing only in being on the\nwrong side of the law. The picture suffered\nsomewhat from a sentimental ending as the\nmoronic \"Dix\" fulfilled a long ambition of returning to his \"Old Kentucky Home\" and\ndied in- a field of alfalfa.\n\"The Third Man\" was brimful of virtuosity on both sides of the camera. Its final\nsignificance is debatable, but the performances of Orson Welles, Joseph Cotton, and\nTrevor Howard together with the amazing\nphotography of Robert Krasker gave the film\nconsiderable distinction. Carol Reed directed.\n\"The Set-Up\" was a remarkably honest\nstudy of the fight racket. Besides its integrity,\nthe film showed an admirable sense of proportion, while for sheer excitement it had few\nequals\u00E2\u0080\u0094again due to splendid photography.\n\"All About Eve\" had enough clever lines\nand enough good acting to provide an entertainment piece par excellence and it was \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*\u00C2\u00BB\npleasure to see Bette Davis in a decent part\nfor a change. At the moment however, the\npicture is undergoing a strange fate\u00E2\u0080\u0094that\nof becoming the most overpraised production\nsince \"All the King's Men.\"\nOther fine productions of 1950 were:\n'The Village Teacher', 'They Live by Night,'\n'Moonrise,' 'Caught,' 'Kind Hearts and Coronets,' 'The Lawless,' 'Picture in Your Mind,'\n'Force of Evil,' 'The Men.'\nLooking them all over in retrospect,\nthere would seem to be a glimmer of truth\nin Hollywood's latest slogan, \"Movies are\nBetter than Ever.\"\nEditor, The Ubyssey,\nDear Sir:\nI have just read your Editorial\nof November 30, 1950, the first\nparagraph of which Is as follows:\n\"You have nothing to lose. Join\none of your University contingents\nnow. This le the time to join\u00E2\u0080\u0094not\nafter tbe bombs have started to\nfall.\"\nThis remarkable paragraph Is\nsaid in your Editorial to be a\nquotation .\n\" ., Taken from a letter directed\nto UBC students by the campus\narmed forces contingents last\nweek.\"\nThis assertion Is a complete untruth. No single sentence of the\nparagraph Itself appears In the\npurported quotation much less the\nletter presently being mailed by\nmyself and the Commanding Officers UNTD and RUP to the men\nof the university.\nI suggest that you acknowledge\nits proper author.\n. Since the effect of his remarks\nmight mislead the mind of anyone\nnot In receipt of the letter referred to above, I would appreciate\nyour reproducing In full the enclosed copy of the letter under\ndiscussion together with this letter\nYours sincerely,\nR. W. Bonner, Lt. Col\nCommanding officer\nCO. UBC COTC.\nThe following .letter sent jointly\nby the UNTD, COTC, and the Rur\nat UBC to male students of the\nuniversity, justifies the Intent of\nour editorial of Nov. 30, 1050 to\nwhich R. W. Bonner refers. What\nBonner Is attacking is the form\nof the editorial not its message.\nHis whole criticism was brought\nabout by tho neglect of the editor\nto bracket in square parenthesis\nthe remarks reportedly to have\ncome from the letter below. The\nbrackets would have noted that\nthe editorial was merely paraphrasing the words and ideas contained In the letter below. We\nnote, though, that Bonner has not\ncriticised the intent of the editorial, where we attempted not to\n\"mislead\" the students but to point\nout to them the grave Issues which\nwe felt the letter took too lightly.\nEditor, The Ubyssey,\nDear Sir:\nUndoubtedly you have kept In\nclose touch with International Affairs during the past months.\nThere is a keen and growing\nrealization amongst Canadians that\nthe threat of a third World War Is\nvery near. The only way In whicli\nwe can guard against such disaster\nis to realize our responsibilities and\nstrengthen our * defences. The ef\nfort must be not only collective,\nbut individual.\nAs a result, our Government has\nentered upon a vast programme of\nexpansion tor both our Regular\nand our Reserve Armed Forces.\nIt is elementary common sense\nto appreciate that it is better to\nhave a trained and well-equipped\n\"fire brigade\" prepared lor emergency than it is to accept,\nthrough lack of preparedness, the\nloss from a sudden conflagration\nraging unchecked.\nTechnical aud other developments of the past few years have\nmade it necessary to seek our\nleaders from men In the higher\neducational brackets. The source\nof officers is, therefore, in \"the\nUniversities. The COTC (Army),\nthe UNTD (Navy) and the RUP\n(RCAF) have been organized on\nthis campus to give you the opportunity to prepare as nn individual and qualify yourself as an officer against emergency. You have\nnothing to lose In polnlng one of\nthese organizations, you and your\ncountry have everything to gain\nAnother Horld War may well mean\ntotal mobilization of manpower\nand other resources In Canada. You\nare needed now to train as an officer: not after It becomes too late.\nSome vacancies remain in certain\nselected Corps. It is anticipated\nthat the Department of National\nDefence may well grant more. Men\nin first or second year Applied\nScience are particularly needed.\nIf you are now in your final\nyear and regret not having affiliated yourself for training with one\nof the Armed Forces on tlve campus, it is not yet too late. The\nCanadian Government has adopted\na plan whereby a final yenr male\nstudent In any faculty may be\ncommissioned directly Into the\nRegular Forces and paid dining\nIlls academic year at the rate of\n$153.00 per month together with\n$65.00 to $96.00 per month from\nthe date of his application. No\nprevious military experience is required. You must however, be a\nBritish subject or a Canadian citizen and, if not a veteran, be under\nthe age of 26 as at 1st June 1961.\nWe cannot over-emphasize the\nvalue to you yourself of taking advantage of one of these schemes.\nCanada is your country. Our system of government has allowed\nyou your opportunity for higher\neducation. Will you not, for your\nown sake and for your country,\nprepare yourself for leadership?\nWill you come to the University\nArmoury and ask for particulars\nfrom one of the three Armed Forces representatives located there?\n(R.W.

RCAF-RUF-UBC\nEditor, The Ubyssey,\nDear Sir:\nI have 'read with Interest the\neditorial In The Ubyssey for Friday, Jan. 6th, in which you criticise Mr. Lee and the members of\nhis staff because of the condition\nof the Bast Mull. I agree with you\nwholeheartedly that the East Mall\nis and has been for many years desperately in need of paving. That lt\nhas not been paved is not the fault\nof Mr. Lee and he and his staff\nshould not be blamed for it. The\nfacts are that it is an expensive\nbusiness providing permanent paving for a boulevard of this kind.\nThe Board of Governors had estimates made some years ago and\nthe figures quoted us then were\nabout $100,000.00. Because no\nmoney was available for this purpose and because too it was felt\nthat it would be well to defer the\npaving until most of the heavy\ntrucking due to the construction\nof buildings on or adjacent to that\nMali had ended, no action was\ntaken.\nI hope that it will be possible in\ndue course to have all the roads\non the campus, including the East\nMull, properly paved and the campus itself properly lighted, but this\ncan only be done as and when the\nProvincial Government or- some\nother body does this work or makes\nfunds available to us to do it. The\nonly alternative to this ls to in*\ncrease the fees of the students to\ntake care of items of this kind.\nHowever, the point I was really\nanxious to make is that the res*\nponsibility for matters of this\nkind lies with the University administration and the Board of\nGovernors and not with Mr. Lee.\nYours sincerely,\nN.
