Harry Yuill Sports Editor Dwayne Erickson\n^UP Editor Carol Gregory Feature Editor, R. Kent-Barber\nIENIOR EDITOR THIS ISSUE SYLVIA SHORTHOUSE\nReporters and Desk: Vincent Lee Chong, Sue Ross, Carol\nJregory, Marilyn Smith, Liz Boyd, John Matters, Eve Blethen,\nkrt Jackson and Olie Wurm.\nSPORTS: Ian Todd and Ken Welbe.\n[Let's Appeal It\nWe were rather happy to see AMS Treasurer Al Thackray politely corrected at Students' Council meeting Monday\njvenjng.\nThe argument which Thackray lost concerned the size\n|>f the AMS grant to be slotted to the Arts and Science Un-\nlergraduate Society. Thackray had originally answered\nASUS request for funds with a token grant of $50. He\n/ould give no more, he said, \intil ASUS had \"proven it-\n|elf.\" ASUS President Tom Wilson quite properly labelled\nle $50 grant \"ridiculous,\" and protested to USC Chairman\ntobin Scott. Scott persuaded Thackray to up the grant to\n(1125, but Wilson still wasn't satisfied. Monday, he appeared\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2efore Council, and asked for more. Over Thackray's pro-\nests, ASUS emerged with an initial grant of $200. This amount, we think, is more like what ASUS deserves.\nBut it disturbs us to think that ASUS received its right-\ni\ due not through, but despite the AMS Treasurer. And\ndisturbs us still more to wonder how many other campus\njrganizations have been beggared by Thackray's budgeteer-\nig, but haven't bothered to fight back, as ASUS 'has done.\nIn all fairness to the Treasurer it must be stated that\nkSUS' record of achievement last year was not admirable,\nInd that a \"wait and see\" attitude was certainly justified,\ntut Great Caesar's Ghost, not to the miserly tune of $50,*\nr even $125.\nCan it be that Mr. Thackray just plain doesn't like any\nIndergraduate Society except the Engineer'? The Aggies,\n>r instance, are squawking, and with good reason; others,\n(rith far more reason, may be keeping silent.\nThe AMS Treasurer, we are convinced, is doing not\nlerely a competent job, but a superior one. He is doing his\nivel best to allocate AMS funds as he sees fit. But it's pos-\n|ble for anyone to commit an error of judgement, just as\nlackray has done in the ASUS case.\nThe only moral to be drawn from this little tale is that\ntudents and student organizations, who disagree with Coun-\nUors' decisions, don't necessarily have to submit meekly to\nleir fate. Certain channels of appeal are always open to them,\nid these channels should be utilized.\nhat A Shame\nIt is unfortunate in several ways that today's Fall\njeneral Meeting promises to be of a quiet and relatively\njn-controversial nature.\nIn the first place, the Meeting might not achieve a quor-\nIt's unfortunate but true that most students regard\nIie General Meeting as a sort of circus; and if no-one is being\nd to the lions that particular day, the UBC electorate tends\ngo somewhere else to eat their lunches.\nA quorum, to be sure, is desirable, but not wholly neees-\n|ry. We've got along without one several times before, and\nlless some malcontent challenges tomorrow's assemblage,\n>'ll probably get along without one this time.\nTo our minds, a placid General Meeting at this stage\nthe game will have a far more unfortunate effect: the\njuving deficiencies of the General Meeting .system as it now\nands will not again be demonstrated to UBC students.\nLast Spring's ghastly farce must surely have impressed\nJ number of students with the fact that UBC has grown\n|o big for one hundred-percent democracy. A repeat per-\n.rmanee might impress a few more; and alter several such\nicores, students might be sufficiently disturbed with the\n.Ujjtion to do something about it.\nUnhappily, today's General Meeting isn't likely to dis-\nrb anyone unduly. So it's doubtful that we can look for any\ndespread campus reaction against the present antiquated\nstem for some time yet.\nToo bad.\nBoo On Movie Taboos;\nLet's Face Reality\n(Editor's Note; The AMS Coordinator, who books dozens\nof movies onto the campus\nevery year, here sounds off\nagainst movie taboos in general, and taboo-mongers of\nthe \"Iratus\" ilk in particular).\nBy BEN TREVINO\nThe recent furore created by\n\"Iratus\" over the campus showing of \"Martin Luther\" is in itself nothing to worry about.\nBut as a fact of the all too prevalent belief that Art should\nnever offend in the slightest, it\ngives real cause for concern.\nTo subscribe to that idiotic\npremise is tantamount to saying\nthat Art should say nothing.\nCinematography is an art\nform, but unfortunately Hollywood's main concern has been\nwith the fast buck. It has listened to Iratus and \"its\" ilk and\nhas consequently lost its virility. Compromise has meant\ncastration.\nWith very few exceptions, we\nhave seen a procession of movies that have affected us like\na sugar-coated laxative. Boy\nmeets girl, boy loses girl over\nsome insignificant and asinine\nargument, boy wins girl back\nand they live happily ever\nafter\nEverything is peachy-dandy,\nlife is just a bowl of cherries,\nGod's in His heaven and all's\nright with the world. We have\nbeen lulled into a smug, self-\nsatisfied complacency that purges us of thought and indignation.\nSMOTHERED\nEach time Hollywood has\ntried to give a realistic presentation it has been smothered in\nprotests from small-minded,\nhumorless people whose sensitivity knows no bounds. Show\na tip-hungry, officious waiter\nand receive indignant protests\nfrom the Waiter's Union. A\ngreedy priest brings protests\nfrom the Catholics.\nAn amoral Baptist preacher\nbrings wails from the Baptists.\n\"Oliver Twist\" was picketed by\nthe Jews (but \"Gentlemen's\nAgreement\" was lauded).\nShow- the inside of a woman's\nthigh and the picture is banned\nin Boston. Too much cleavage\nbrings a protest from the presumably bosomless Mothers of\nAmerica.\n\"Lost Weekend\" was condemned by the WCTU because\nit \"glorified\" alcoholism. Show\nthe birth of a buffalo and the\nmovie is labelled \"obscene\" in\nSaskatchewan. Show any Negro performer except as a shoe-\nshineboy, waiter, porter, or\nAunt Jeminma housemaid and\nthe picture is banned in Tennessee. On and on, ad infinitum.\nJust what kind of world is\nHollywood expected to portray?\nCarried to its logical conclu\nsion, characters would have to\nbe nameless (names show ethnic origin, and often religious\nbeliefs), faceless, and naked\n(the clothes might not carry\nunion labels). Their actions\nshould always be good, and\nkind, and Assisi-pure.\nHOMOSEXUALITY\nTo make matters worse, thi3\nattitude extends into the other\narts. \"A View From the\nBridge,\" by Arthur Miller, has\nbeen banned from the London\nstages because of references to\nhomosexuality. And remember\nVancouver's plunge into purification when it banned \"Tobacco\nRoad?\" Henry Miller's greatest works cannot be bought in\nCanada or the United States.\nArchitects are still asked to\ndesign \"something with Greek\ncolumns,\" and artists are commissioned to paint a Christ with\n\"blond hair, blue eyes, and typically Anglo-Saxon features.\"\nHow can a culture flower in\na climate characterized by a\ncriticism of details and ignorance of the basic issues oi Form,\nTexture, Integrity and Truth?\nFrank Lloyd Wright called this\nphenomenon \"mobacracy.\"\nWhat H. L. Menken called it\nwould give Iratus heart failure.\nBut we think it has been\naround too long. We yield to\nno man the right to think for\nourselves.\nCome And Get It\nPraises Be To The C B C;\n'Gooseberry's' Made It\nBy TONY GAMBRILL\nFor those fortunate viewers\nwho can only pick up CBUT\non their television screens, a\nnew, all-Canadian, wide open\nspace adventure series will be\nappearing before 'your bleary\neyes in the very near future.\nI refer to \"The Adventures\nof Radisson and Grossie . .\n(anyway, old gooseberry to use\nthe more familiar misnomer)\".\nThis is the story of two dirty,\ndouble-crossing, thieving fur\ntraders who operated a mink-\nfor-drink racket around the\nHudson Bay.

The problem on\nhand today, students, is that\nonce again British Columbia is\nleft out of the limelight, once\nagain it has been proved that\nCanada ends at Winnipeg, once\nagain our Western heritage\nhas been thrown in our faces\n(and without a cry of 'smear'\nfrom Premier Bennett, or\ndoesn't he read the TV news?).\nWhat is the answer to this new\naspect of the old problem?\nELVIS THE PELVIS\nThe Ubyssey, in conjunction\nwith the Blubber Bay Historical Society, is presently filming \"Load Up Your Muskets,\nMe, the Indians Want To\nTrade,\" a television drama of\nthe Old West in 645 episodes\ndepicting the peaceful intrusion of the white man into\nGod's gift to the Social Credit\nParty (formerly known as\nBritish Columbia). The production will star Premier Bennett as Long John Silver, Jean\nHowarth as Sadie Thompson,\nDon .labour as Rin-Tin-Tin,\nand Elvis Presley as Man Friday.\nRoughly, the series will\nbring to the screen such in\nforesting historical material as\nthe Great Fire in Chilliwack,\nthe notorious Victoria Tea\nParty (not to be confused with\nthe All-Night Party), an intimate look at the lives and\nwives of James Douglas, the\nfounding of the first home for\nunwed mothers, the Battle of\nLost Lagoon, and a brief\nglimpse of the Hanging Judge\nas a pioneer evangelist.\nThese are just a few of fie\nmoments of British Columbia\nhistory that will leave you\nbreathless.

Blood?\" quavered\nthe little freshctte, shrinking\nlower into her convertible,\n\"What do they want with my\nblood?\"\n\"First they take my money,\nthen they want my blood! What\nwill they take fgrom me next?\"\nA unhealthily red-nosed individual, clad only in beard and\nrope sandals snickered lewdly\nat this last remark.\nGenial, gentlemanly Bob\nTulk, co-chairman of the Blood\nDrive, was standing nearby,\nproudly displaying a punctured\nvein and intoning forthrightly\nto the passers-by: \"And you,\nsirrah, have you bled yet?\"\n\"Listen baby-doll,\" rasped\nthe bearded one, sidling up,\n\"let's you and me go over to the\nlibrary and deface Biology\ntexts.\"\n\"Oh I can't,\" she lisped pettishly, \"They want me to give\nblood.\" She shuddered prettily\nand made a move.\n\"Ahagh,\" sheered the beaver,\n\"all a feelthy commerce plot.\nThey want red ink for their ledgers. I foxed 'em.\" He strutted about, taping his forearm.\n\"I slipped a tomato up my\nsleeve.\" He cackled hidiously.\n\"Fie, Sirrah, Fie!\" cried\nTulk, who had overheard. \"It\nis because of people like you\nthat some poor anemic child\nmay die for want of blood.\nBecause of you that we are\nshamelessly behind our quota.\nWhat sort of man are you that\nyou will deny this priceless\ngift of life to some small child?\nWhat, sir, what?\"\n\"I didn't know what I was\ndoing,\" cringed the beard. \"I'll\ndo as you say.\"\n\"There's a god fellow,\" said\nTulk, luxuriously squeezing\nhis bulbous red nose. \"Now\nI want you to go in there and\nBLEED!\"\n\"We get quite a few like\nthat every year,\" smiled Tulk.\n\"Some folks just don't realize\nhow good it feels to have a\ngood bleed every now and\nagain.\"\nSuddenly the beard emerged\nfrom the armories, a changed\nman. His step was brisk, his\ngaze steady. A crowd of small\nchildren clamoured around\nhim, kissing his hands.\n\"Fine fellow!\" cried Tulk.\n\"How do you feel, man?\"\nThe beard drew himself up\nwith pride. \"Brother, I have\nbled,\" he said quietly.\nLITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS\nby Dick Bibler\nGirl Crazy\nAuditions\nAdaskin Enlivens\nInitial Concert\nBy FRANK JOY\nThe initial concert of the noon-hour Beethoven series was\na highly entertaining occasion, without any doubt.\nTo begin with, thc appearance\nof Harry Adaskin on any stage\npacks a delightful wallop. Harry\ntalks, moves and looks like a\nprizefighter, and when that tough\nlittle middleweight of modulation cracks out his reasons for\nloving,music, you listen and love\nit.\nFEW, MORE GIFTED\nThere are few people more\ngifted in the art of explication\nthan Horry Adaskin, and anyone\ninterested in seeing a long-haired\nperformance get off to a rousing,\nfootball start, should turn out\nand watch this tiger operate.\nIn thc second place, Mr. Sumner bore, throughout his whole\nperformance, a face of fantastically comical aspect. Fellow listeners will concur, I'm sure, that\nonly one impression could be\ngained from watching that face\nthrough the whole 9th Sonata:\nMr. Sumner was itching to tell\nsomeone a slightly bawdy story.\nWaiting eagerly, I noticed with\nsome disappointment, that during the 15th Sonata he forgot\nthe joke and turned his attention\nwith a sense of suspicion, to the\nmusic.\nI am convinced, and history\nmay perhaps affirm, that at that\nmoment he began to doubt the\nauthenticity of the composition.\nHe was a picture of hauteur and\nridicule.\nRegretably, during the 3rd\nmovement, all further possibility\n| of concentrating on the music\nwas shattered by the thrice-\nI stealthy entrance of the Ubyssey\nphotographer, directly on stage.\nWhat seemed most unfair of all\nwas that he had Sumner at a disadvantage. He was creeping up\nfrom behind and Sumner couldl\nnot hear a thing for the racket.\nA brutal and unprovoked a\nlack was then averted by th\u00C2\u00AB\nfirm intervention of Harry Adas^\nkin. Nevertheless, few of ui\ncould relax, fearing another at\ntempt. People who know, saj\nthe music was lovely, but I, tc\nspeak truly, have decided ill\nlacked \"mission.\"\nfor mussoc's pro-\nGershwin's \"Girl\nbeing held next\nAuditions\nduction of\nCrazy\" are\nweek.\nSingers are desperately needed for the production to be directed by Harry Price, James\nJohnston and Grace MacDonald.\nFor the past 27 years, Mussoc\nproductions have been of the\nhighest calibre.

For\nstudent autonomy is a two-\nedged sword. It carries with it\nfreedom and responsibility\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nnot only to the student body,\nbut to the welfare and good\nname of the University itself.\nThe second policy includes\neverything from ensuring that\nstudent use of Brock Hall it\nnot interfered with, to increas-\ning coverage on our Accident\nBenefit plan.\nRegarding these tenets as\nour guide in managing the\nA.M.S. for 1956 and 1957, we\nare undertaking many plans\nto fulfill our responsibilities\nboth to the students and to the\nUniversity general.\n(1) Our main concern is the\ncompensation of the Brock extension. Schedule for opening\nnext March, the new wing will\ncontain a Games room with\nbilliard and ping-pong tables;\nspecial club facilities for Filmsoc. Hamsoc, Radsoc, Mamooks, Camera and Photography Club; Alumni offices; further lounge and dance areas:\nArt Gallery; Barber Shop; enlarged College Shop and Totem offices. Planned by last\nyear's Council, the job falls to\nus to arrange financing of this\n$310,000 structure. Total cost\nincluding interest will be\naround $360,000. A colored\nSketch of the new wing is in\nSouth Brock Hall. Mr. B. C.\nBinning is planning the interior decor.\nAccident\nBenefit Fund:\n(2) Plans exist to extend our\nBenefit Fund privileges. As\nyou know, we run an Accident\nBenefit fund on campus to aid\nthose who are injured while\nparticipating in campus activities. This is not an insurance\nplan guaranteeing aid to the\ninjured, but this is a fund\nfrom which you may receive\naid upon application. All\nclaims are decided upon by\nour Accident Benefit Fund\nCommittee. Sixty-five cents\nper student goes into this fund\neach year, and while we cannot offer every kind of coverage we would like, each year\nwe try to expand a little.\nFor instance, this year we\nwill be prepared to make payment on eyeglasses broken\nwhile participating in an organized university function in\nwhich it is necessary to wear\neyeglasses or contact lenses.\nFuture plans call for extending the benefit to cover accidents sustained while skiing\nwhile you are a student at\nU.B.C, and our ultimate aim\n,is to be able to extend the\nbenefit to cover any injury\nwhatsoever, no matter how\nor when it is caused, to students as long as they are registered at U.B.C.\nStudent\nFacilities:\n(3) Each year a sum calculated on the basis of 65 cents\nper student is put into a fund\nwhich we call Student Facilities. This fund enables us to\nprovide increased facilities and\nimproved benefits to the student body.\nOne such improvement was\nturning the Double Committee\nRoom in South Brock Hall into\na Television room, and for this\npurpose, a 24-inch TV set has\nbeen purchased and the room\nwill be open until 10 p.m.\nevery night.\nAll requests from clubs for\nequipment and furnishings are\napplied against this club.\nAthletics:\n(4) Our plan is to press for a\nWestern Canadian Inter-Collegiate Athletic Union. If\nManitoba can come through\nwith a football team, I am\nassured that we will be in a\nCanadian league within two\nyears. However, until Manitoba does come through with a\nteam, neither Saskatchewan.\nAlberta or U.B.C. is willing\nto play on only a 3-team basis.\nUntil that time, however,\nwe are planning a thorough\ninvestigation into our present\nathletic programme. This\nmainly football, for we feel\nit is time to do things right\nin football.\nPublic\nRelations:\nFeeling that one of our\nmany duties is to encourage\nstudent interest in university activities and to promote\ngoodwill off the campus, the\nStudents' Council is planning\nto produce a half-hour Public\nRelations movie. Thic movie\nwill show the various facets\nof student life on the campus,\nplus a full run-down on the\nacademic courses offered here.\nIt is planned that this movie\nwill be circulated amongst all\nthe high schools in the province, and will be shown to\ninterested groups in Vancouver to generate interest in and\ngoodwill for the University.\nA further step along this\nline is being taken by various\nstudents along with our P.R.O.\nThey are presently negotiating to present seven student-\nproduced half-hour shows over\nCBUT this coming year. These\nshows will be completely\nstudent actors, musicians,\nartists and student films, and\nwill not only concern itself\nwith UBC activity, but will\nalso show what students can\ndo in the field of drama, music\nand art.\nStudent\nWages:\nThe Students' Council is also planning to press for a\nraise in the minimum wage\nfor students working on the\ncampus. All costs to students\nhave gone up these past years,\nand we feel that the present I\nminimum of 75 cents an hour\nis too low to be of any help\nto the students. Th,e aim will I\nbe to raise the minimum wage|\nto $1.00 per hour.\nCollege\nShop:\nThe opening of the nev\nBrock wing will see increasec\nfacilities of the Collage Shopi\nand because of this, great]\nplans are being laid to expanc\nthe line of goods which the\nCollege Shop now handles. Ir\nthe future we hope the Col\\nlege Shop will supply nearlj\nall the needs of students or\nthe campus.\nHomecoming\nAn experiment this yeaj\nwill be held with the Horn*\ncoming Dance. In an atiemp|\nto bring civilized drinklnj\nback to the campus, the All\numni Association has agreed^\nto invite the graduating clasJ\nto its own dance which will\nbe held in Brock Hall. At ihi{\ndance, th** Alumni Associal\ntion will run a bar and it ij\nhoped that the mature use of\nthis bar will prove to the Ui\niversity officials that the stuc\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2nts can behave lhemselve|\nproperly when liquor is allo\\ned on the campus.\nStudent\nRepresentation On\nUniversity\nCommittees:!\nIn order that the wide ij\nterest which students have ic\nthe welfare of the Universitj\nmay be felt by the Admini|\ntration, we are undertaking\nincrease student represent^\ntion on University committet\nIn this way, ^e hope to\nable to accurately presei|\ngeneral student opinion to t'r\nUniversity administration\nproblems of mutual interesl\nand we hope to be able to prf\ntect student interests on tt\ncampus.\nThis is a very sketchy cul\nline of projects being undel\ntaken by this year's Councf\nAside from these special prl\njects, the Council still ca|\nries on its regular duties\nFrosh Orientation, Lead*\nship Conference, and all til\nmany administrative dutiJ\nof trying to keep our studei\nsystem of government wo|\ning smoothly.\nA few other projects al\nbeing planned at present, b|\nnothing definite can be sal\nat this time.
