" INVASION PEP MEET\nWEDNESDAY\nAUDITORIUM\nB0\u00C2\u00A3t!\nPublished Twice Weekly by The Publications Board of The University of British Columbia\nINVASION PEP MEET\nWEDNESDAY\nAUDITORIUM\nVol. XXI.\nVANCOUVER, B.C., TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1939\nNo. 28\nAnd so came the day when the\nmore radical element on\nI OBJECT thla year's Students'\nCouncil thought the\ntime was ripe for mutn raisins of\nvoices in woeful lamentations. Friend\napRoberts, Junior Member, has at\nItit bitten his teeth into a morsel of\nfritf that may not be easily masticated.\nYou all read ln the last edition of\nthe Ubyssey that the Campaign Committee had been charged with inefficiency, that Evan considered its policy to be entirely incorrect, its achievements to be virtually worthless,\nita political leanings to be biased,\naad its atudent support to be lacking.\nQuite a ponderous list, when you\ntome to think of it. But how much\nweight ahould be attached to the\nwordi of the hero of laat spring who\nclamoured for the destruction by Are\nef the effigy of Premier Pattullo ?\nEven if the amazingly conscientious Junior Member\nAP ELEGY? is an authority that\ndemands the attention of all and sundry, it is tragic\nto soo what he has said. \"The Campaign Committee,\" he claims, \"has\nnot gone about its aims in the right\nway.\" Yet it has accomplished a very\ncreditable percentage of its stated\n_imi, and has done so with tho approval of the Students' Council, and\nof the Alma Mater Society in its\nentirety.\nWitness the motion proposed on\nIhe fifth day of October, 1938, at the\nmeeting of tho Alma Mater Society:\n\",, . . and that tho Alma Mater Society affirm its confidence in the\nCommittee's work and empower it to\ncarry on its work as outlined.\" The\nmotion, duly moved and seconded,\nwas carried.\nYet our representative on Council appears eager to act contra to the\nwishes of his electorate. Is he a satisfactory representative, or should he\ndisagree with those whom he repre-\nlents?\nAnd now to return to the assertions of our impetuous friend at the\nStude nts' Council\nmeeting on the night\nof January 23rd.\nEvan charges that the Committee\n\"has catered to one political party.\"\nBut it ia hardly fair, for the Committee merely held conferences with\nthe Government in power,\u00E2\u0080\u0094In this\ncase the Liberal Party. It may perhaps be interesting for apRoberts to\nknow that several members of other\npolitical parties were interested in\nIhe University problem, that some\nof them apoke about it in the House,\nsnd that every member of the Legislative Assembly of B. C. received notice of the difficulties on this Campos.\nNext he claims that student interest in the organization has gone. Is\nhe speaking for himself, or for this\nwriter. Scotty's interest has not, as\nyet, dissipated itself, and that is as\nfsr as we shall go. Other students\ncan, and will, speak for themselves.\nWith an air of finality our Junior\nstatesman then stated that the\n\"Committee was not organized to get\nendowment funds for buildings.\"\nHad tho plaintiff read the Constitution of the Students' Campaign Committee which was ratified by Council\non February 21st, 1938 ? This document gives the purpose of th\u00C2\u00A9 Committeo as follows:\n1. To increase the facilities of the\nUniversity through the aid of the\nGovernment grants and endowments.\n2, To maintain Unlvorsity accommodation for all young people of Bri-\n(Continucd on Page Two)\nSee SCOTTY\nFORGOTTEN\nFACTS\nLETTER TO THE EDITOR\nEditor, Ubyssey,\nUniversity of British Columbia.\nDear Madam:\nThere have been many student campaigns initiated throughout the history of our University, and during or as a result of\nthese there has been almost Invariably some element of the student body which either being desirous of publicity or having some\nparticular axe to grind has endeavoured to throw discredit on\nthe work that has been done by those in charge of the campaigns.\nIt had been a great source of satisfaction to the graduate\nbody of the University up to last week at least that the undergraduates had ln this particular campaign comported themselves\nin a sane and farslghted manner with the result that the general\npublio of this Province has greater sympathy with the problems\nand needs of this Institution than lt has ever had before. Needless to say then It was rather disturbing for us aa graduates to\nnote In last Friday's issue of the Ubyssey that the more Impetuous\n( and Irresponsible elements of the Undergraduate body were again\nendeavouring to attach a stigma where lt is ill-deserved.\nThe Alumni happen to be in a position to know that a good\nmany of the benefits accruing from the work of the campaign\ncommittee during the past year may not become apparent for\ntome time to come. We refer to the good will which has been\nbuilt up for the University by reason of the Intensive press and\nradio campaign sponsored by this Oommittee during the past\nyear and the eminently sensible attitude heretofore adopted by\nthe student body as a whole. This sympathy on the part of the\npublic has never been as strong as it is now. Further than that\nthere never has been as great mutual understanding and cooperation between the Board of Governors and the students as\nthere Is at the present time and this has been mainly through\ntho efforts of the Campaign Committee which has been anxious\nthat the University should appear united ln its demands on the\npeople and the government of this Province in particular. As a\nresult of this farslghted policy on the part of the Committee the\nrelationships between the University and the Government of this\nProvince are on the best footing that they have been for many\nyears and the Government has shown that it has a full appreciation of our problems by going so far as to obtain authorization\nfrom the Legislature to borrow $350,000 for the construction of\n'buildings. These aro achievements which aro altogether apart\nfrom those which have shown themselves ln more tangible form.\nWo refer to the removal of limitation, tho commencement of tlmo\ntable revision, and the assurance and backing given to the plans\nfor the Brock Memorial and Preventive Medicine Buildings by\nthe Government without which support neither, of the latter plans\ncould possibly have been realized. In view of these can anyone\nhonestly aay that nothing has been done? If so, the Alumni take\nissue.\nRome was not built In a day. The Committee admits that its\nwork is not yet completed\u00E2\u0080\u0094lt may take another year but that\ndoes not mean that the members of the Committee are not doing\ntheir utmost in the advancement of the welfare of the University\nmerely because they have had not had a Publicity Manager to\nadvertise their efforts to the students. The Innumerable hours and\nthe unlimited amount ot energy expended by the members of the\nCommittee in advancing the welfare of the University in the best\nway they knew how have borne fruit, and it ill behooves any\nsection of student opinion, which happens to be misinformed on\nthe facts and issues Involved to throw discredit on the work of\nthe Campaign Oommittee without offering some constructive\ncriticism. We as Alumni representatives deprecate any such attitude and feel sure that this cannot be the view ot the more levelheaded and farslghted element of the Student Body. We all must\nlook to the future aa well as to the present. We thank you for\ngiving us the opportunity of expressing our views in this matter.\nKENNETH BECKETT, '\n9 President of Alumni Association.\nMILTON OWEN.\nPast President of Alumni Association.\nNo Invasion Unless\nEnough Tickets Sold\nCOUNCILLORS\nMAKE THEIR\nSTANDCLEAR\nHAVE NOT EXPRESSED\nOPINION ON CAMPAIGN\nEditor's Notet This letter was written by Students' Council with the\npurpose ln mind of making it perfectly clear to the student body that\nthe motion at preaent tabled on their\nminute books was put befofe Council\nby one member.\nThere has been no vote taken on\nthe motion and the Council as a\nwhole have never expressed their\nopinion on the matter.\nEditor, Ubyssey,\nDear Madam:\nCertain statements emanating from\na Students' Council meeting regarding the Student Campaign Committee were made ln the Ubyssey.\nStudents' Council would like to\nmake lt clear that such comments do\nnot represent the opinions of that\nbody as a whole, and that while discussion was held regarding Campaign\nIssues there was no expression of lack\nof confidence ln the personnel or operations of the committee.\nGERTRUDE PITMAN,\nFire Destroys\nApparatus In\nChemistry Lab\nFlro laid waste to $5,000 worth of\nchemicals and apparatus ln the chemical research laboratory of the science building late Sunday night.\nSpotting the Ure In room 308 on\nhis final round, the' patrolman\nturned in the alarm at 12.10 to\nwhich the Are crew responded at\nonce.\nSmashing a. window of the room,\nfiremen inserted the hose, and lt was\nnot until four hours later that the\nflames and smoulderlngs were entirely extinguished.\nORIGIN UNKNOWN\nExact origin of Jkhe fire is unknown,\nbut It may have been a faulty electric connection or spontaneous combustion. According to a professor,\nit is possible that rats chewed\nthrough a box of matches, thus starting the blaze.\nIn any case, the nre waa certainly not due to the negligence ef any\nof the students. It Is stated.\nThe scene ln the lab today presents\nunparalleled chaos\u00E2\u0080\u0094apparatus and\nbenches are twisted and burned;\nwindows and walls are stained and\nblackened.\nMoreover, the work of seven research students has been completely\nlost.\nForty years from now\nyou will enjoy showing\nyour grandchildren\npictures such as those\nin your 1939 Totem.\nOrder yours now.\n\n\"Hail the Conquering Hero Comes\" will sound through the.\nsheltered harbour of Victoria as the invasion boat docks and hundreds of University of British Columbia students will swoop into\nthe capital for its hostages and glory.\nBlue and gold lapel decorations lwill mark the friend from\nfoe, while decorated buses will transport the invaders from dock\nto destination. Pep yells and Varsity songs will resound over thq\nisland city.\nThere are only about three hundred and. fifty tickets left\nand these will be sold at the foot of the caf. stairs. The boat cannot be chartered until threo hundred tickets are actually bought.\n sWAKE UP!\nBight o'clock Saturday morning and\neverybody down on O.FJl.'s Princess\nNorah for a whole day of fun, feasting and frivolity I\nEvan apRoberts, in charge of arrangements, has promised an Invasion tbat will wake sleepy Viotorla\noat of Its lata Saturday snooze.\nVarsity studenU will put their\nalarm clocks baok an hour earlier so\nthat they will be on time for the boat\nwhich leaves Vanoouver at 8 a_n. and\nwill disembark from their five-piece\norchestra\u00E2\u0080\u0094accompanied voyage at\n1.30 ln Victoria.\nRUGBY TO HOCKEY\nAt the docks buses will be waiting\nto convey tho invaders to their flrst\nrendezvous, the rugby games at Macdonald Park.\nTlie game between Varsity's second division and Victoria College will\nstart first and soon after the McKechnie Cup tilt between UB.C. and\nVictoria Rep., the highpoint of the\nInvasion.\nU.B.C.'s hopes are high. Strat\nLegatt says, \"After a victory like\nlast Saturday's we certainly should\nwin.\"\nMeanwhile Varsity's Senior Women's Grass-Hockey team will have\nbeen met by taxis and taken to Victoria High School field. Here they\nwill play Victoria Ladles at 1,45.\nDANCE AT EMPRESS\nAt 4.30 the program follows through\nwith a tea dance 'with, Victoria's\nbeautiful Empress Hotel for Its setting.\n\"That wlU be 50 cents If you just\nwant to eat,\" says apRoberts, \"and\nan additional SO cents If you care\nto work it off by dancing.** '\nVarsity Invaders will dine where\nthey choose if they choose to dine.\nIt is said that none of the restaurants are big enough to house all the\ninvaders at once.\nAt 6.40 students will be taken by\nbus, which is free, to the basketball\ngame between Victoria Dominoes and\nVarsity senior A's, at Viotorla High,\ngymnasium.\nCoaeh Van Vliet remarked that\nthe University team was very anxious to prove Its strength because\nof the beating it took in ita eon-\ntest with the Victoria team last\nOotober. ,\nAt that time the team had had\n,onJy two practises before going over\nand furthermore was composed partly of test players.\nVanity basketballers will suffer\ntheir biggest handicap in the absence of Alec Lucas who is recuperating from an Injured back.\nThe basketball game will be the\nlast feature of the program and the\ninvaders will return home by the nine\no'clock boat with their Journey lightened by three hours of dancing with\nmusic and a hoped-for moon.\nStrains of Hall U.B.O. played by\nthe Varsity Band will fill the air on\nthe way over to Victoria on the annual Invasion.\nUnder the direction of Arthur W.\nDelamont the band will accompany\nthe several hundred Varsity students, playing on the boat and during the day at the games.\nFaculty members going on the Invasion in official capacity are Dr. and\nMrs. H.

OREY 03\nEditorials\nCAMPAIGN OOMMITTEE\nAlthough the accusations made against the Campaign Committee will have, and have had, tho beneficial result of stirring the\ngroup to new* efforts, they nro for tho most part unfortunate in\ntheir effects. They have placed a germ of doubt in the minds of\nthe student body as to whether the Campaign Committee was as\neffective in their year's work ns they had been given tho credit for.\nBut any one who thinks seriously enough on tho matter to\nfeel this doubt must also think seriously enough to realize the\naccusations are probably quite unfounded. In the flrst placo they\narc the opinions of only one man out of tlio 2,500 who nttend uni-\nversity. They have, throughout a period of ono week, never been\nbacked by facts. The man making thoso accusations may have\nsome reason for not presenting his facts\u00E2\u0080\u0094we certainly must give\nhim credit for any such possible reason. Hut it seems little likely\nthat after a whole week of requests for factual backing he has\npresented none. Rather he has done nothing to retract accusations because he could not prove them.\nIt seems likewise evident that few, if any, .other members of\nthe Alma Mater Society will agree with the sole accuser. Muny\n\"undergraduates and graduates, concerned, have been qxiick to\noppose him. .\nIt would seem evident from tho development of the situation that the whole affair is a creation of one recalcitrant student.\nIt is unfortunate that this student should have been in such a position that weight could- be attached to his statements. Undpr tho\ncircumstances it is necessary that council look fully into tho matter; in fact council desires to look into the matter for their own\nsatisfaction. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nTherefore, although some ill-effects cannot help but ensue,\nthose concerned can benefit tho entire student body by taking the\nutmost advantage of the beneficial results which are also evident.\nLIBRARY\nEvery year tho matter of noise in the library reading rooms\nand stacks must be brought to tho attention of the students and\nevery year, with the accommodation becoming less adequate, the\nmatter is more important.\nVery often the date you were on the night before would be\nof tremendous interest to your friend in tho next seat. But do\nTtncmber how unpleasant it is to hear such a discussion when you\nhappen to be in a hurry to finish, an essay yourself and \"simply\nmust not be disturbed.

For days I brooded sadly on it until I cams upon\nthe following, written by a student\nof 1034.\nIf this is an example of the average intelligence, of tho time, surely\nthere is hope for us.\nIS THIS HISTORY?\n\"Once upon a time there were three\nmonks. Having shown various methods of showing their austerity, they\nfinally decided to become hermits and\nfurthermore to take a vow of silenoe,\nusing only a sort of sign language.\nEvery five years they would leave\ntheir mountain cave to come down to\nthe town for supplies.\nOn one of these trips about ten\nyears after thalr tow, they saw a\ncircus that boasted as Its main attraction a dancing horse. Tho thro*\nmonks saw and returned to their\ncave. '\nOne of the three began to get thin\nand nervous with great dark circles\nunder his eyes. When, about three\nyears later he was wasted away to a\nmere shadow' of his former self, he\ncould not withstand the strain any\nlonger and blurted out. \"My, but\nthat horso could dance!\"\nMORE SILENCE\nAll went well for a month or two\nWhen another of tho three began to\nbecome Irritable. Ho slowly lost\nweight and could scarcely use the\nsign language his hands shook so.\nAfter a period of about four\nyears had elapsed he gave a deep\nsigh of surrender and replied.\n\"You're right, that horse COULD\ndance!\"\nTho third monk who had horoto-\nforo been tho happiest of the three\nnew began to look worried. He began to perform his work in a listless\nfashion. He too lost weight.\nOne day about six years later he\nsuddenly flew into a rage and began\nto pack ,up his clothes. This startled\ntho other two into Bpeech. \"What's\nwrong?\" \"Where are you going?\"\n\"I'm going home!\" he answered\nsurlily. \"I'm sick of all this damn\nchatter about horses.\"\nHowever, there were a few students who really tried to raise the intellectual standard of their fellows\nas is shown by the following History\nof English Literature:\n\"In 1060, the one date which you\nare likely to remember, the English\ndefied the Normans (Hurrah!) and\nrefused William as king but he came\nacross, and when Harold saw his\nsplendour, it knocked his eye out.\nSome people attributed this to\nan arrow, but this is because of the\nfaulty translations and colloquialisms of the day.\n\"The Conquest had one regrettable\nconsequence. Hereward the Wake,\ndefied William, and his deeds have\nsubsquently given rise to another\nflood of literature.\n\"One day not long after the conquest, the people woke up to find\nthat they were talking a language\nalmost like English. So the language\nof this period is colled Middle English, because this discovery was made\nin the middle of the night.\n\"Some time before this period, a\nmonk called Thomas a Becket had\nbecome involved in a little controversy with the king.\nIt happened at this time that the\nking was fermenting beer and it\nDown in tbe deep shadows of the\norchestra pit on tbe night of the\nperformance of \"Serenade\" will be a\ngroup that ls not often hard about\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nthe orchestra.\nWithout tbls group tbe production\nof tbe opera oould hardly be a- success. It forms the background and\nthe setting, and produces many of\nthe humorous effects and-the excitement at dramatlo* moments.\nPIANIST\nTbe nimble fingers of Joan Bruce\nwill skip oevr the keys of the piano\nat tbe performance. At rehearsals,\nshe gives tbe rest ot the orchestra\ntheir \"A,\" and then settles down to\nstrenuous work. On tbe big night sbe\nwill be at tbe piano, capable and\nready tor everything.\nAt Joan's left will be the first\nviolinists\u00E2\u0080\u0094Prlsellla Boyd, Dorothy\nMcDonnel, and Bernard Shlpton.\nTbey are tbe ones who play most\nof the high notes, wbo lead up ln a\nflourish to a new song, and wbo play\nthe lovely melodies while tbe choirs\nare singing.\n8KCOND PIDDLES\nThen don't forget tbe second fiddlers. Alfred Ballard, Bill Osborne,\nand Jack Margeson add harmony to\nthe melodies of the flrst violinists.\nAlice Grace provides depth and beauty to tbe string section with ber\nviola.\nThe rippling trills, the warbles,\nand the echoes of the senga eome\nfrom James Sinclair. He plays the\nflute and the piccolo. *\nAdding vigour and life, as well as\nvolume, to tbe music is Gordon Fler-\nheller with his clarinets.\nHUMOROUS FOUNDATION\nThe long Instrument with tbe very\ndeep notes is a bassoon, in case you\ndon't know. With it, Bill Sinclair\nforms a foundation for tbe whole orchestra, and produces some very humorous effects, just for good measure.\nBob Murray will be there with\nhis trumpet. In a comic opera such\nss \"Serenade,\" with brigand and\nretainers of a duke In juxtaposition\namong the wild mountains of Spain,\na trumpet harmonizes with the\nbackground.\nTo llll in tho gap_ here and there,\nMr. H.

George Scbuthe converted to\ngive the Blue and Qold a lead never\nrelinquished. Doug Wilson, wing forward, added another three points before half time, which ended 8-3.\nSCHUTE, DAVIES SCORE\nAfter the interval both teams really\nbegan to put on the pressure with\npoints coming fast and frequent.\nSchittho battled his way across the\nAll Black strip for the third U.B.C.\ntry followed shortly after by a fine\nforward rush with Evan Davies on\nthe credit receiving end.\nStudent Scrum Paves Way BASKETEERS*\nFor Thrilling 8-3 Victory titi v HOPES\nHIT NEW LOW\nFORWARD FORWARD\nUnder perfect weather conditions and before a good-sized, enthusiastic crowd, A.

XV might\nprovide a stumbling block not easily surmountable.\nAn injury to Tommy Fraser, cool-thinking Red and White fullback, in the first minute of play, caused tho Rowers to go through\nthe remaining part of the tilt shorthnnded, a fact which might possibly have changed the complexion of tho game.\nIn fairness to the victorious Thunderbirds, however, it should\nbe said that more spirit, tackling ability and general drive was evidenced Saturday than in any one of their contests before Christmas.\nA Leggat cross kick which Anally\nended up reposing beneath Waddy\nRobertson on the payoff side of the\nRowing Club lines gave the students\nan early lead, which was increased\nwhen Ted Mchee kicked a clever\nconvert.\nWith but 5 minutes to play ln the\nfirst bait, tbe collegians went further\nahead after a prolonged bombardment ot the Coal IHarbour lads' line.\nA 2-yard scrum onablod _.ang tohoavo\nIt smartly out to Tod Mchoe, who\npassed to Tremblay for the score\nright by tbe flag.

Mercer's kick for the extra points failed\nand the rest ot tho game was featured by thrilling ond-to-ond surges.\nFor Varsity, the scrum wns more\nofflclent than before thla season,\nStradlottl ond Mason proving to be a\nveritable battering-ram In the second\nrow.
