Referring\nto such prestige-boosting activities as blood drives and money-\nraising campaigns, St. John complained that, \"all the good work\nthat's been done, is undone.\"\nNuttall agreed that it would\n\"certainly do oway with all the\npportunlties for obtaining bad\npublicity.\"\nHoward Beck, special events\nchairman, countered with, \"We\ndon't exist for the prime purpose of establishing public relations with downtown.\"\nRealizing that a campus\nsmoker would eliminate the usual\ntype of refreshments, Dick Underhill, vice-president, stated\nthat \"engineers have just\nAPPLICATIONS\nFOR RHODES GRANT\nApplications for 1954\nRhodes Scholarships are now\navailable.

The Canadian tariff\naccounts for a part of the increase, but is\nnot the major cause.\nThe trouble rests with the Canadian\nagents ol American publishing firms. As a\nservice to American publishers (it certainly*\nisn't a service to Canadian book buyers),\nthese agents handle the sales and distribution of books in Canada. For this service\nthey mark up the price of the books about\n20%. They sign binding contracts with the\nAmerican firms, blocking all shipments of\nbooks to Canada not handled through their\noffices, and preventing book stores from deal-\nlog directly with the publishers.\nOne Toronto book agent, for example,\nrecently signed such a contract with the University of Washington press. A beet which\nformerly sold here for about $1.50 would now\ncost over $3, with the additional price markup and cost of shipping the book from Washington to Ontario and then back to British\nColumbia. And nothing can be done about it\nuntil the contract expires.\nTo improve this shameful situation pressure must be put on American publishing\nfirms to make more satisfactory arrangements\nfor Canadian distribution. The campus bookstore, on this and other campuses, should\nbuys as few books as possible from those\nagents that are the worst offenders, getting\nbooks from other sources whenever this is\nfeasible (such as when British publishing\nhouses print the same book).\nThe National Federation of Canadian\nUniversity Students (NFCUS) should investigate the problem and exert pressure on the\nAmerican firms. If the pressure is strong\nenough they could be prevailed upon to revise their contracts with the Canadian agents.\nFacts To Be Faced\nProfessor E. McPhee, head of the Commerce department, came up with some revealing statements at a student meeting last\nTuesday. Actually, the Professor merely reiterated remarks that Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie had made in a recent radio broadcast.\nMcPhee said that within ten years, nt\nthe present rate of secondary and high school\nenrollment,, the student population at this\nuniversity will number close to ten flWusand.\nFurther, it was. pointed out that pare ate\ninsufficient buildings, facilities a|| equipment now. The Professor said that the estimated increase will become evident in three\nyears.\nMcPhee at that same meeting made a\nstatement that ,to us financial laymen, seemed to be the contradiction of the year. He\nsaid that the board of governors are going\nto try to \"hold the line\" on fee increases. This\nvery admirable stand on the questioa by the\nboard brings a small question to our ininds\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nhow . . . ?\nLet's face facts. The LSE wants (and has\nevery right to request) more money |ow, the\nMAD is not exactly loaded, more Jtudents\nmeans increased outlets for student activities,\nadequate student accommodations are needed (something better than the glorified Fair-\nview shacks we have now), the administration is faced with the problem of providing\nfor ten thousand students with provisions inadequate for five thousand (and we don't\nwant that measured in terms of \"huts\") and\nso and and so oh.\nWe risk being obvious in saying that this\ntikes money. .\nThe student body and the faculty for\nonce have something in common. These problems have to bo faced now. It is time the)\nstudent's representatives got together with\nthe board of governors or other suitable administration body and started making some\nrapid decisions and planning some constructive actions towards the solution of these\npressing problems.\nIf this is not done and done immediately\nit could be that the students of ten years\nhence will be awarding two trekker awards\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe second one for the famous students' \"trek\"\nof 1955 for increased government grants to\ncover the cost of mounting student needs.\nForceful Faculty Fiasco\nThey've done it before and they|re done\nit again. The students of the faculty of Applied Science have expressed their ^opinion\nof the editorial policy of the Ubysseyln their\nusual manner\u00E2\u0080\u0094by force.\nPerturbed over an editorial which appeared in Friday's Ubyssey, the Applied Science students stole every copy of the paper\non which they could lay their hands.\nNot particularly caring about the fact\nthat The Ubysseys are paid for by each\nstudent, or the possible repercussions this\naction might have downtown, the Applied\nScience students went right ahead with their\nown method of criticism, or is it censorship?\nThe fact that they finally brought the\npapers back to the Publications office has\nlittle to do with the opinions which the downtown press has of this matter. To them; and\nto the whole journalistic world, forceful suppression of editorial opinion is the worst\ncrime which may be committeed against the\npress. It is this ideal of freedom of expression which we are fighting for today, and\nwhen a group of university students try their\nhand at censorship by force, what may be\nexpect of others?\nThe EUS executive cannot really be\nblamed lor the incident. It is the work of a\ngroup of 1st and 2nd year Sciencemen that\nhas given the university a black eye, in this\ncase, last Wednesday's incident and most of\nthe others for which Applied Science students\nhave been responsible for.\nWe have no real grudge against the EUS\nexecutive, they are sincerely trying to control this attitude which appears to prevail\namong the younger members of the Applied\nScience faculty.\nWe hope the EUS executive can explain\nto their students the folly of their actions\nat this time. We are on the thin edge with\nthe public now, gentlemen, let's watch our\nstep. *\nStudents To Get Chance\nThe dormant student spirit which this\nuniversity's lot seems lo be, has a terrific\nchance to show its fangs this week when the\nfirst Varsity Revue hits the boards,\nIf a smashing success this year, indications point lo the Blue and Gold Revue becoming an annual variety show, providing\nstudents wilh a laugh at themselves, and\ntho public with a clever satire on university\nlife they would not otherwise know anything\nabout.\nUBC alum's have provided the script,\nand wilh Eric Nicol and Ernie Perrault on the\njob, there can be little doubt of its comedy\ncontent. Music was composed by John Brockington, another UBC grad, and the cast consists entirely of undergraduates, graduates\nor faculty members, including the Good Doctor himself.\nThose who have worked their hearts out\non this thing are fervent in their hope that\nthis critical first showing will be accepted by\nall who attend. They are confident that it's\ngood and want to see the idea perpetuated.\nThe rest is up to you, the student body.\nHastily Conceived\nEditor, The Ubyssey:\nThe second editorial in Friday's Ubyssey calls for some\nexplanation. The editorial states\nthat the other campus political\nclubs had approved the proposed LPJ>, club constitution and\nhad raised no objections when\nin fact both the Liberal Club\npresident and the CCF Club\npresident voiced protest over\nthe distribution of fees and the\nform of the proposed constitu\ntion which were the same reasons that it was turned down\nby the Student's Council.\nThe first recommendation of\nthe Political Council was\nagainst the v approval -of the\nConstitution because it was not\na club constitution. Then after\ntwo hastily conceived by-laws\nhad been added (\"L This club\nshall be called the U.B.C. L.P.\nP. club. 2. The officers shall\n/be president and the secretary*\ntreasurer.\") the political council gave limited support to the\nproposed constitution with a\nvote of 2-0 with two abstentions and one political club absent.\nThe editorial also says a political club cannot go against the\nnational party for fear of being thrown out. Yet last year\nthe Liberal Club passed a resolution advocating the public\nownership of the B.C.E. and\nthe B.C.T. which was pushed\nthrough the West Point Gray\nLiberal Association but which\nwas rejected later by the City\nAssociation. For this politically\nquestionable action the campus\nLiberal Club was not disowned by the Liberal party but was\nthanked for Its enthusiasm.\nThe other campus political\nclubs have business like constitutions which indicates their\nadherence to the party line.\nThis is apparently what the\nStudent's Council in general\nand Mr. Underhill in particular\nwants and they have a right to\nask for it.\nMaurice D. Coplthorne,\nChairman, Political Council\nThou's Holiest\nEditor, The Ubyssey:\nI find myself in the unusual\nposition of defending the Engineers for the little fracas they\nencountered after their smoker.\nIt has become generally recognized and accepted, certainly in Britain and on the Continent, that students . working\nunder pressure will, from time\nto time, give vent to their feel\nings in the form of spontaneous demonstrations. No one\ncan deny that the applied science men are working under\nsuch a strain. From the information I have gleaned, no property damage was done, and\nthe only disturbance Was caused by a 'snake' parade tying up\ntraffic. Under such extreme\nprovocation the police were\ncompelled to handcuff several\nof the students\u00E2\u0080\u0094surely a.drastic way to put a stop to the\nantics of a few high spirited\nyouths.\nThe editorial in Friday's\nUbyssey in a 'holier than thou*\nattitude, takes the Engineers to\ntask for ruiriing public relations with the citizens of Vancouver. Relations, with most of\nVancouver'* citizens will remain unaltered; The incident\nwill nfost likely do no more\nthan provoke a smile from most\nquarters.\nThat section of the population who will squeal with dismay will never feel anything\nbut enmity towards UBC. That\nsection of the 'elite' who can\nfind nothing but criticism of\nVarsity no matter whether it\nbe In Ihe field of athletics, administration, or the extra-curricular organizations will never\nbe placated. The headlines appearing in a downtown newt-\npapers amounting to nothing\nmore than sheer sensationalism\nare not going to influence the\nmajority of Vancouver's citizens.\nIf the Pub's Board are really\nconcerned with maintaining\ngood relations with the people\nof Vancouver, and of impressing the public with their maturity, then I suggest that in future\nyears they desist from riding a\nfloat downtown and squirting\nbeer over that \"very impressionable\" public. No sir, this\neditorial is nothing more than\na piece of self righteous humbug.\n*>4&< Ok Vallls,\n2nd Year Agriculture.\nEXPERT TYPINO, PICKUP &\ndelivery service Sundays.\nFR. 9591.

Last year's\nstalwarts\u00E2\u0080\u0094Jim Todd, Steve\nGryschuk, Bill Sherwood,\nBob Grew and Herbie Hay-\nworth (who, fool that he is,\ngot married) will not be back\nthis year.\nThe only bright spot on m\notherwise dark horizon is the\nfact that Howie Topping,\nlast year's goalie for the PNE\nIndians, may be between\nthe pipes for the 'Birds this\nyear. It has also been rumoured that footballers Jack\nHutchison and Charlie James\nmay turn out after football\ncoach Coryell is through\nwith them.\nIn view of this bleak situation Coach Mitchell would\ncertainly appreciate it if anyone who has ever been on\nskates and is interested in\nshedding a little blood for\nthe UBC hockey team would\nturn out for the practise. It\nis expected that the league\nwill allow Dick to dress as\nmany players as he wishes\nfor the first few weeks, so\nhow about supporting UBC\nand turning out for the\nteam,\nThe new league, designed\nto replace the Commercial\nHockey League of last sea-\nsoh, is comprised of four\nteams; Kerrisdalei Forum,\nNew Westminster and UBC.\nUBC will be playing over\nage. The other ,three teams\nwill retain their junior status\nand can take part in junior\nplayoffs at the end of the\nseason.\nIt is understood the nev/\nleague has been given a\nmonth to produce crowds\nlarge enough to convince operators of Kerrisdarle, Forum\nand New Westminster rinks\nthat it can at least pay its\nway. So how about giving the\n'Birds a little support this\nyear? The schedule of the\n'Birds will be published in\nthis illustrious sports page\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nso be sure to look for it.\nAs if Coach Mitchell did\nnot have enough problems\ngetting together a team the\nleague schedule has made it\ndoubly difficult., The 'Birds\nmust play two games a week\nuntil December 9\u00E2\u0080\u0094-anyone\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nfor studies?\nHowever, the schedule of\nexhibition games more than\ncompensates for this tough\nschedule. In March the\n'Birds will fly to Colorado for\ntwo games in Denver and\ntwo games in Colorado\nSprings against the University of Denver. In February\nthe University of Alberta\nwil be here to play the 'Birds'\nfor the Hamber Cup which\nthe Albertans won last year\nin Edmonton.\nThe league got underway\nlast Friday night at the Ker-\nrisdale Arena When Kerris-\ndale defeated New Westminster 4-2 in overtime. The\ngame was worth more thar\nthe fifty cents admission buj\nif the crowd was any indij\ncation of things to come thj\nleague will not last long.\nAfter the full 60 minutes ol\nplay the teams were dead)\nlocked at 2-2. In the overtime\nKerries went ahead on\nfine goal by Dale Frost. Thei|\nWestminster drew t h e 1'\ngoalie and played a six-mai\nattack in an effort to tie thJ\ngame up again. That was thl\nsignal for Frost to grab th[\npuck and pass it to Creigr\nton who scored into the opeJ\nnet for the Kerries' fourtl\nand clinching goal.\nBirds Kick Away Game To\nPacific Lutheran 19-6\nLast Game Disappoints Coach And\nFans As Birds Scoring Punch Failed\n'\u00E2\u0096\u00A0;':' user-tint\nBy BILL HUTCHINSON\nLady luck and hapless lack of scoring punch ganged up\non the UBC Thunderbirds Saturday as they dropped a 19-6\ndecision to a' weaker than usual Pacific Lutheran club out at\nVarsity Stadium.\nThe Birds, though trying hard all the way, managed to do\n "Newspapers"@en .
