" UBC Debaters Win McGoun Cup\nAlberta, Manitoba\nCrushed As Forum\nOrators Take Title\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 THE MASSIVE trophy-case in the gloomy lower entrance to the library is to hold, after all, at least one\ntrophy this year, as evidence that the University of British\nColumbia has attained supremacy in some form of intercollegiate competition.\nOne Man's\nOpinion\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 BY THE SIMPLE and\napparently harmless, act\nof sponsoring a \"Campus\nQueen Contest\", Engineering\nstudents at McGill University have brought the wrath\nof a fellow student, known\nin the Letters to tlte Editor\ncolumn as \"Anti-Empty\nHeads\", down on their collective necks.\n\"Anti Empty Heads\" calls the\ncontest \"simply asslnlnc,\" and expresses alarm at the effect this\ntype of absurdity will have on the\ngeneral public.\n\"Why do not some of them daro\nto dash into the King's uniform\nand thereby not only win their\nown self-respect but also'Hhe respect of others?\" the letter continues.\nSHIRKERS\nTwo other questions are raised\nby \"Anti Empty Heads.\" \"How\nmany of our husky class \"A\" students are enlisting for overseas?\"\nand \"How many are just shirkers\nengrossed in the thought of putting In four years of college life\nwhile others enlist?\"\nFinally tho writer says that he\n(or she) feels that these class \"A\"\nstudents would be eshamed to take\npart in the salvage drives being\nconducted by the University.\n\"Anti\" is no doubt right as far\nas the impression on the general\npublic is concerned. The general\npublic quite understandably does\nnot understand why University\nstudents break the monotony of\ntheir studies by quite harmless,\nbut slishtly foolish stunts. It is\ndoubtful if they ever will, but\nwith so many major misunderstandings in the world today, the\nmatter might well be left until a\nlater date before it is cleared up.\nFAVORED?\nTho other questions are of moro\nimportance at the present time.\nWhen war came to the Pacific on\nDec. 7 it became apparent that\n\"total war\" must become an actuality.\nUp to now college students have\nbeen encoureged to carry an their\nwork and to prepare themselvea\nfor war service and for the period\nafter the war. Tneir position has\nbeen no more favored than the\nposition of men of military age,\nwho have been permitted to carry\non their civilian lives uninterrupted, as members of the Canadian\nArmy (Reserve),\nNO WORD\nThere has been no official word\nas to what is required of physically fit male students in the war.\nWe do not believe that there are\nmany shirkers cither at U.B.C. or\nany other University in Canada.\nWe think that most students are\nwilling to do what is requested of\nthem. And having decided to stay\non at University, no man should\nbo eshamed to make other contributions to the war such as collecting salvage.\nUP TO GOVT.\nIf government authorities are\nindefinite in conducting a war,\ncan you expect anything but indecision on the pert of those whose\nwhole lives will be affected by\ntheir decision? If University men\nare needed more in the armed\n.services than in college, let tho\ngovernment say so and then we\nwill know where we stand.\nIn the recent holidays we had\nan opportunity to talk to students\nfrom three different campuses and\ntheir attitude was much the same\nas the :;eneral feeling at U.B.C.\nThe problem of enlisting bothered\nthem. They had nothing but their\nown judmient to go by. They\nwanted to do thc right thing by\ntheir Kini; and Country, but how\nthe hell are you ;;oing to tell what\nis th.\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ricdit thin?'.'\nPerhaps when the government\nannounces the plans for Selective\nSrrvice we will have a clear idea\nof what we should do. If they tell\nus what to do and then we don't\ndo it. then people such a.s \"Anti\nEmpty Heads\" will have t, right to\ntheir claims.\nThe glory that once was U.B.C.'s,\nfeared dimmed this year by reason\nof the ban on Inter-universlty\nathletic competition these days,\nfound a new channel last Friday\nnight when the four representatives of British Columbia accomplished the almost impossible in\nwinning the McGoun Cup, symbol\nof Western Canada debating superiority.\nA little less than one hour after\nArthur Fouks and Bob Bonner\nhad defeated the Alberta team at\nEdmonton, Prof. F. O. C. Wood,\nchairman of the debate here at tho\nauditorium, announced that all\nthree judges had awarded Arvid\nBackman and Robert Morris the\ndecision over their Manitoba opponents.\nTaking the affirmative of the\nresolution \"Resolved that Canada\ndo adopt, after the war, a policy\nof extensive immigration,\" Back-\nman and Morries teamed well tj\nconvince a small audience and the\nthree judges of the validity of\ntheir case.\nEQUALITY PLEA\nBasing his argument upon a plea\nfor the share of Canada's wealth\nfor the other peoples of the world,\nMorris bore the brunt of the Man-\nitoban's heavy attack.\n\"Tnrow open the gates which\nhave been closed for the last eight\nyears,\" he declared. \"We can do\nno more \u00E2\u0080\u0094 and in the fundamental\nprecepts of democracy, we must\ndo more.\"\nEloquent as always, Backman\npressed home his argument with\nringing tones.\n\"Canada has not the population\nto work her extractive industries\nin order to fully transform her\nlatent riches into capital\" he declared. \"Moreover, as the largest\nexporter of newsprint and non-\nferrous metals, her population is\ninsufficient to furnish her with an\neffective domestic market. Unless\nCanada has an increased immigration rate, her internal economy\nwell be seriously disrupted and\nher burden of per capita debt will\nbecome intolerable.\"\nSURPRISE ATTACK\nA surprise attack featured thc\nargument of both Mnnitoban debaters, who challenged the \"usual\nbelief\" that Canada is \"rich in\nnatural wealth.\"\n\"Our land is not one glowing\nwith industrial resources awaiting\nonly men to develop them\" asserted Freeman. \"Farmer after\nfarmer Ls living on marginal and\nsub-marginal land. In view of\nburden of unemployment, how can\nwe then issue the call for new\nlabor?\"\nThe difficulties of effective\n\"Canadianization\" of immigrants\nfrom Europe were cited by both\nManitobans, declaring that such\nan influx would place a \"fantastic\" strain upon our social and\nand educational facilities.\nCITES LEADERS '\nIt is not likely that those who\ncome into this country will be\n'Canadian' in their outlook\" countered Morris, \"but give them time.\nWe need not worry if we look nt\nsuch men as Roosevelt and Wilki<\\nboth of whose ancestors were of\nother origin than ours.\"\nAccepting an invitation to act\nas judge for the debate, Harold\nWinch. M.L.A., leader of tho official opposition in the legislature\nmade a hurried plane trip from\nthe provincial capital Friday to\nmake hia appearance in time for\nthe engagement. Burton Lewis,\nmanaging editor of the News-Herald and Morris Belkin, publisher\nof the Point Grey News-Gazette,\nalso consented to act as judges for\nthe debate.\nBIG BLOCK CLUB\nAll members of the Big\nBlock Club are urged to appear in the Men's Smoking\nRoom, Brock Hall, at noon\nWednesday, for a Totem\nphotograph.

Page Two-\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 From The Editor's Pen \u00C2\u00BB \u00C2\u00BB \u00C2\u00BB\nI.S.S. Challenge\nNext month, during the week of February 16-21, students will be called upon to\nsupport another War Aid Council sponsored\ndrive for funds\u00E2\u0080\u0094this time for the International Student Service, commonly known as\nI.S.S. On the opposite page some of the\nachiements already accomplished by this\nworld-wide organization during this war are\noutlined.\nThe I.S.S. functions, much as does the\nRed Cross, in all countries, ministering primarily to the needs of university students\nwho have been deprived of the privileges\nwe still enjoy and to those who, as a result\nof their active participation, are prisoners\nin belligerent countries. The Service is not\nhampered by national boundaries, operating\nwith equal zeal in, Germany and Canada.\nOne example of the work the I.S.S. is\ndoing in Germany is the word received from\nRalph Henderson, popular U.B.C. grad now\na prisoner of war there. \"Hunk\" relates that\nhe is attending university classes given by\nmen in his prison camp. I.S.S. provides the\nfunds and facilities for this enterprise.\nLast year several other Canadian universities contributed to the $2,300 raised in\nCanada for the I.S.S. This term U.B.C. will\nbe added to the list of contributing universities, helping the I.S.S. to reach its new\nobjective of $4000 from students of this\ncountry.\nHere is the challenge thrown out by\nself-sacrificing I.S.S. workers, our representatives in far-off lands:\n\"Students in China have seen their universities blown to bits, their libraries burned, their laboratories smashed. One thing\nonly has not been smashed. Their spirit is\nunconquerable. They endure famine, sickness, cold, hunger\u00E2\u0080\u0094yet they go on.\n\"In prisoner and internee camps in\nEurope students are in sore need. They are\nin the backwash of war. They have a deadening sense of defeat. The future presents\nno hope.\n\"The intellectual and spiritual leadership of two continents must not be blotted\nout.\n\"Here is our opportunity to keep intellects and spirits alive, to lay the groundwork for intelligent, friendly action in the\nfuture.\n\"If we fail here, our whole struggle is\nin vain.\"\nBouquets To Debaters\nCongratulations are in order for the\nfour debaters who Friday night made a clean\nsweep of the forensic front to bring the battered old McGoun Cup, emblematic of Western Canadian inter-collegiate debate supremacy for the past sixteen years, to U.B.C.\nfor the second time in its history.\nEspecially is the feat accomplished by\nBob Morris, Arvid Backman, Bob Bonner\nand Arthur Fouks one of outstanding merit\nwhen the record of debating on our campus\nthis year is considered. The handful who\nattended the home stand against the Manitoba team in the Auditorium Friday night\nis an example of the low ebb of popularity\nto which this noble art has fallen. Let us\nhope that the stimulus of a McGoun Cup\ntriumph will mark the revival of debating\nto its rightful position at U.B.C.\nThe team of Bonner and Fouks, which\nblanked the Alberta student orators in Edmonton, is well-known on this campus. Both\nveteran McGoun contestants, they have\ncrowned a long debating career with this\nhighest honor.\nMorris and Backman, both former members of the editorial staff of the Publications\nBoard, paired for the first time to meet the\nManitoban invasion. The former is Bonner's\nsuccessor in the office of L.S.E. president,\nwhile Backman has the distinction of being\nthe only scienceman ever to gain a place on\na U.B.C. McGoun team.\nThe Mummery\nby Jabez\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 RECENT publicity photos of U.B.C.\nchorus girls displaying their talents\nserve to remind one that, on this continent,\nthe celebrity of a college of learning is largely dependent upon the pulchritude, amplitude and degree of visibility of the nether\nlimbs and other physical accoutrements of\nits co-eds.\nThis fact has never been fully appreciated at our university.\nAcademic pursuits have been allowed\nto overshadow the exploitation of our natural resources, with the result that LIFE,\nLOOK, PIC, PEER, SQUINT, GAWK and\nother distinguished magazines have completely ignored us.\nThe only notable publicity we have had\nalong these lines has been bad. A few years\nago, Professor Riddehough, a classical scholar, incautiously voiced the opinion to his\nclass that U.B.C. co-eds waddled. The furor\nwhich this simple statement occasioned overwhelmed everyone, including Professor Riddehough. Down-town papers came out with\nbanner head-lines, blaring something like:\n\"UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR SCORES\nCO-ED WADDLERS\nCLAIMS COLLEGE WOMEN\nMAKING SUBVERSIVE MASS\nMOVEMENT\"\nand:\n\"TWO-DIMENSIONAL WALKING\nFLAYED BY GREEK SCHOLAR\"\nThe papers were peppered with pictures\nof allegedly waddling women students,\nwhose centre of interest was obviously south\nof the border. The pictures', that is.\nBut much of the current apathy toward\nour co-eds may be traced to the Canadian\nhabit of tardily aping the American fads in\neverything from stop-lights to step-ins, so\nthat we are presented with the depressing\nspectacle of our superannuated sirens running around the campus with reproduction\nin their eye, wearing jackets that are too\nlong and skirts that are too short, which\nthey will doubtless continue to wear some\ntime after the vogue has changed to jackets\nthat are too short and skirts that are too\nlong, and which, in the interim, saddle them\nwith a beam that would make the RODNEY\nblush to tho turrets with envy.\nThoiv aiv. however, other approved\nmethods ol' glamorizing a college. One popu\nlar way is for all the men to get together\nand draw up a document stating that \"we,\nthe undersigned 1500 men of the University\nof British Columbia, have chosen you, Miss\nCarmen La Glupp, the Hollywood Pullover\nQueen, as the girl with whom we should\nmost enjoy being trapped alone in an abandoned mine shaft.\"\nThis is sure-fire. Because, eventually,\nthe newspapers will come out with a studio\npublicity release, in which we have a picture\nof Miss La Glupp, pullovered to the hilt,\nsimpering over her outstanding achievements. Underneath this we read: \"Miss Carmen La Glupp, (above), now starring in the\nMonstrous Pictures Corp. epic, \"Three in a\nBed\", wiri soon appear in the stirring sequel,\n\"The Mattress Murder Case\". Miss La\nGlupp was recently chosen by 15,000 panting\nmen students of the University of British\nColumbia as the girl with whom they would\nmost enjoy being cast adrift in an open lifeboat.\"\nThe difficulty here, of course, is that all\nthe most attractive movie stars have already\nbeen snapped up by other larger, more aggressive American colleges, (Columbia\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nMadeleine Carroll; Princeton\u00E2\u0080\u0094Lana Turner,\netc.), so that a small, Johnny-come-lately\ninstitution like ours would, by process of\nelimination, be obliged to yearn to be cast\nup on an island with someone like Edna\nMay Oliver, in the case of the boys, or C.\nAubrey Smith, in that of the girls.\nStill a third way to dramatize a college\nis to have an Extraordinary Professor in the\nfaculty: someone who goes on quiz programs,\nswallows mice, or rides a bicycle round and\nround a tank. Dr. Sedgewick, a professor\nof English at this university, has a radio\nprogram, but persists in using his time for\nsober discussions of literature, and without\nuse of dialect. Until Dr. Sedgewick learns\nto sprinkle his program with clever stooges,\ndoor-knocks, and a swing trio, to acquire\nsome snappy sign-off, like 'So long, evubody',\nand to blend his erudite analysis of poetry\nwith unqualified praise of some crispy,\ncrunchy breakfast food, this university is\nprobably doomed to float in the ooze of academic obscurity.\nSo, up tho Can-Can Girls! Let the gams\nfall where they may! But keep smiling, kids.\nThere may be a photographer in the house.\nTHE UBYSSEY -\n(MEMBER C.U.P.)\nIssued twice weekly by the Students Publication Board of the\nAlma Mater Society of the University of British Columbia.\nOffice: Brock Memorial Building\nPhone ALma 1624\nCampus Subscription\u00E2\u0080\u0094$1.50\nMail Subscriptions\u00E2\u0080\u009412.00\nFor Advertising\nStandard Publishing Co.
