UNDERGRAD BALL FEATURES KING dii ~ Canadian campus A CUP FEATURE • FOR FIVE SAD years we've been hearing about the lonely Canadian coed and many and tro- gic have been the tales of the manpower shortage. But . . WAS there a shortage? The trans-Canada response to the return of the campus men have set us to wondering. UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK REPORTS The manpower shortage is something strange to us. The New Brunswick campus has never suffered from one. Even during the war the men have outnumbered the women four to one—so the influx of veterans doesn't mean the expected new lease on life for wallflowers. Actually it aggravates an already serious coed power shortage. The typical coeds are saying: "Everywhere we go we lead a parade of desperate men." "It really is an awful strain." "We never get time to work." ST. FRANCIS XAVIER UNIVERSITY REPORTS "Once there was a fella who wore a pork-pie stuffed yellow sacks into a pair of ancient mocassins. He'd come from high school back home just as we had. We had fun with that fellow ... he v/as ambitious, too. He went away for a while and now that he's back he doesn't wear a pork-pie any moe. He's a man now . . . he's here to work, to learn of all the good there can be in the civilization he's fought so hard to preserve. He seems glad to see us, and we . . . well, we think he's tops!" QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY REPORTS There was never a shortage here. Coeds, however, are thrilled at the increased number of men. Veterans are making a big hit. Edith Kent, news editor of the Queen's Journal, says, "We've had lots of men all along but the more we have the better." UNIVERSITY jOFjrORONTO REPORTS " Men by far outnumber the women on the campus this year and the typical coed comment seems to be: "We're not against it." Male opinion is somewhat harder to catalog. "It's grim" seems to be a frequent remark. One thing, however, is certain—the campus wears a brighter look this season. UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA REPORTS Coed reaction is not evident here. Most girls have noticed no shortage. Arts girl says the increase creates a more stimulating atmosphere in classes et cetera, but especially et cetera. Science girl says it awfully nice. Science man deplores it. Home-Ec girl says at last she can find someone to practise her economy on. The only girl in Engineering says "Huba Huba Huba!" UNIVERSITY OP ALBERTA REPORTS The reaction of the Alberta coeds to the end of the manpower shortage is generally, "We are not particularly thrilled. There are lots of men around, but they are not overly co-operative." Contrary to popular expectations, many of the girls are not having heavy dates, and at some of the campus dances stag lines of girls have been in evidence. The girls feel that the returned men at Varsity keep to themselves for the most part and they are not especially interested in dating the campus belle. In fact, one coed when questioned on the subject, asked with surprise, "Oh, has there been an end to the manpower shortage yet?" LSE PRESENTS SOPRANO AS SECOND GUEST • THURSDAY NOON in the Auditorium the LSE will present, as Its second noon hour guest M'tist, Mrs. Anabcll MacKenzie Edwards. Mrs! Edwards, accompanied by Phyllis Schuldt, will give a varied program including Scottish unci Irish traditional airs. Elizabethan lyrics and Schubert Lieder. A dramatic soprano of exceptional quality, Mrs. Edwards bus recently returned from New York, where she continued her studies under the finest teachers. Mrs Edwards has sung frequently over CBC. On October 21 she will sing with the Vancouver Symphony and soon afterwards she will leave on an extended tour.

OUTDOOR CLUB PREPARES FOR BIG WINTER SEASON • WITH the arrival of snow on the north shore peaks mem bers of the Varsity Outdoor Club are rushing to complete preparations for what promises to be one of their most successful skiing seasons. Organized to promote skiing and mountaineering, the club is one of the oldest and most active on the campus. Dolman Offers * Co-operation With Pre-med Efforts • DR. DOLMAN of the bacteriology department, speaking at the regular Pre-Med meeting Friday noon offered his full co-operation to the committee of seven, which is making an all out effort for the establishment of a medical faculty next fall. Dr. Dolman outlined the history of the effort for the establishment of a mod faculty at UBC for th? past 23 years. Describing the various stages in the history, Dr. Dolman said that 25 years ago th? university turned clown an offer 1'iom the Rockerfeller foundation to establish a medical school. This money was then given to the University of Alberta to estab. !ish their faculty. Various steps led to the appropriation of lMt million dollars lor a medical faculty. The committee of seven, under the chairmanship of Barney Murphy, is organizing the current drive. The Prs-Med Society now numbers 290, including nurses and pre-dental students. Plans foi a pre-med party at the end of November were also discussed. No. 12 ^——mm*——^——^——mmi—~^———m——^——^—^——~ Roosters To Hens Result Of Aggie Research Work • TWO RESEARCH projects being conducted by the Department of Poultry Husbandry on th? improvement of meat chickens and eggs have received important results, according to information received from the president's ofllco. According to Professor Jacob Biely, who is in charge of the project, it scon may ba possible to standardize eggs on a basis of vitamin content. Research has been done on the effect of feed on the nutritive value of eggs. It was found by feeding laying hens corn, green feed, and fish oil, that dark-colored yolks containing three times the ordinary quota of vitamin A could be produced, thus giving the eggs a higher commercial value. It is believed that all vitamins can be controlled in eggs by varying the feed. The second experiment has to do with the improvement of meat quality in market chickent through feeding them "estrogens" or female hormones. When*40 to SO miligrami of iyn- thetic estrogens were mixed into the feed mash of young cockerel.!, the birds immediately became hen- likeln both habits and appearance. They lost their fighting spirit, ate more, and grew bigger and fatter. The whole market appearance of the bird was greatly enhanced, and the standard raised from grade C to as high as "Grade A Milk Fed." If this method of feeding proves practicable, poultrymen should bn able to improve not only the qual. ity of marketed chickens, but also the number of suitable birds for market. Herby Gaspone, a senior Aggy student, is now conducting similar experiments with old cockerels marketed at the lowest prices. He hopes to raise the standard and quality of their meat. Students Attend Mining Meeting • UBC ENGINEERS will attend the three-day annual western meeting of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy to be held in the Hotel Vancouver beginning October 24. Hon. E. C. Carson, minister of mines for British Columbia, will give the opening address. The G. M. Dawson Club takes an active part in the convention, which is counted a main event of the year. Speaker from UBC? will be Bill Smith, metallurgical engineer. Established in 1922 a:, a small sciencemen's .skiing club, it has grown until amalgamated with tin- ski club .it now has over 150 members, some of whom rink amev thc best .'Uers and mountainsci,- in Britisi Columbia.

Efficiency Of Pre-Nazi German Science Due To Co-operation • "BEFORE THE ADVENT of Hitler and his Nazi policy of anti-semitism, German science reached its highest point. And this efficiency in science was achieved through co-ordination between universities and industry." Crcoker, So stated Dr. A. M. physics department, in en address to thc Physics Society last Wednesday. Dr. Crook.T. who went to Germany last summer under ths sponsorship of the Department ui' N. ti nal Defence, in pacted all German instrument < of war and made a . tudy of G.rmsn institu- ii n ;nl production in, t'aods. IV.-XUNF. SET IN He pointed out that even befor - the war German science started o.i a decline when many of its top men, among them many university professors, had to flee the country because their blood did not run true to Nazi ideology. Once the war was under way in Nazi plans. Hitler's insistence on short term results discouraged scientific investigation. Dr. Crooker described varkms German war apparatus. "Flying organ pipes" and flyi.e; klenhone poles" were descriptive terms us"d by Dr. Crooker when referring to the "flying bombs,'' VI and V2. "VI was rediculously simple,' said the .speaker. "It was a masterpiece of improvization and must have been thought up by a man who played a lot with a m >uth organ, because it resembled organ pipes." JAZZOC PLAYS MODERN DISCS • MODERN JAZZ records made in the last five years will be featured clpring the meeting of the Jny.7 Society next Thursday at 12: if) noon in the Brock stage room. Ross Stewart, treasurer of the society, will be the featured speak- ir. He will play records featuring modern jazz artists ranging from Ed Hall te Sid Beehet. Membership cards are still available to 11 those who wish to join tha club. Queen Peggy Crowns Lucky Man At Big Formal Ball November 19 • HANDSOME MALES will be the envy of thc beauteous campus coeds on Monday evening, November 19, when the King of the Fall Ball will be crowned. A radical departure from the usual election of a queen of the ball, the members of the Fall Ball committee decided on choosing a king in order to highlight this 1945 ball and give the Red Cross Ball of the spring serious competition. Representatives from each un- though they are still $3.00 a coupK dergraduate society and each year of Arts may find themselves running for the beauty crown against a "card" from the Jokers Club if those members so desire. Personality, good looks and general geniality will be necessary qualifications for the winner. CROWNED BY PEGGY Added attractive feature will be Peggy Holt, last year's Fall Ball queen, when she crowns this year's king. In the memory of present councillors, Bob Estey has been the only male to be crowned king. The function was the Frosh Party two years ago. "Ready or not, here it comes! The dance of the season, the an- tithisis of Christmas exam worry, the peak of the apex of enjoyment, UBC's word-defying Fall Ball is scheduled to occur on November 19," according to a statement issued by Jack Cuningham and Hugh MacLeod, co-chairmen of the Fall Ball committee. STUPENDOUS "For the second time, this stupendous 'do' replaces the once-traditional Arts-Aggie Ball. Since it is the last big varsity funtcion before E-Day (Exam-Day), it should be a rousing affair," said Cunningham. The pep-meet to arouse enthusiasm will be held Tuesday noon, November 13, in the Auditorium. Plans are underway to have tha male contestants parade In bathing suit array. n contrast to last year, the tickets are limited to 500 couples, All voting for the king will be done at the Ball. Women munt wear formal attire and men optional formal dress. Among the many new and amazing stunts under planning by the Fall Ball Committee will be the awarding of five free Totems to the holders of five lucky tickets. Arts And Science To Elect Executive • ELECTIONS for the executives of the" faculties of Arts and Pure Science will be held Wednesday, October 24, at 12:30 in Agriculture 100 and Science 200 respectively, according to Hugh McLecd, USC president. Commerce will be holding its elections in the near future. A new feature this year is the division of the faculty ot Arts into two groups, namely, Arts and Pure Science. This has been done to promote more class spirit in the two faculties. As all nominations for positions of president, vice-president, secretary and year presidents are made from the floor, and voting done at the meeting, a capacity attendance is required from the student body to ensure good representation. "Show your university spirit. All Arts and Pure Science students turn out to your class elections ou Wednesday at 12:30," McLeod pleaded. Varsity Band Provides Music For Homecoming • A PEP MEET, Friday noon, and a tea dance Friday afternoon, will start festivities of the annual Homecoming celebration to be held Saturday, October 27. The Pep Meet to be held at noon in the Auditorium, will feature a vocalist contest, the winner of which will sing with the newly formed Varsity band at the tea dance. A gay nineties chorus line will ;idd zest to the tea dance at 3:30 in the Main Lounge of the Brock. Ted Kirkpatrick, Junior member of Council, heading campus preparations for Homecoming, states that plans are now complete for the "most important homecoming celebration since the beginning of the war." At 2:30 in the stadium an epoch rugby game starring the undefeated Varsity seniors versus the new UBC Veterans fifteen, will serve to open the celebration. Following the game, Alumnae members will meet in the Mildred Brock Room to elect officers for the following year. The Homecoming Banquet will be held at 5:30 in the Main Lounge. Dean G. F. Curtis, recently appointed Dean of Law, will address the meeting. Head table guests include prominent faculty members, Hon. and Mrs. E. W. Hamber, and several Alums now high ranking army officers. The Mussoc, working in co-operation with the Glee Club and the newly formed Varsity band, has arranged an hour's entertainment in the form of a Potlatch, produced in the Auditorium, curtain time 8:00. It will take the form of a variety minstrel show, capturing the traditions of romance and lively movement of the southern stage. In addition to choruses and quartets much individual talent is also featured, including Ted Bayles, undergrad tap dancing artist. The day's activities will be concluded with a gala dance, programmed for the armoury at 9:00. Thc new sixteen piece varsity band will provide the music. UWA Elections To Be Held Again • LACK OF attendance at Undergraduate Women's Association elections compels certain elections to be held again. Tiie following are the rooms for tht. classes: Arts 102 for 3rd year Arts women. Arts 10G for 1st year Arts women. Arts 104 for Commerce women. See Caf notice board. Library Features Touring Display • THE DISPLAY of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs is now in the Library. This display is on tour throughout Canada and UBC is the first to receive it. It is a collection of nearly one hundred books and pamphlets published with the purpose of giving the Canadian public an unbiased, non-partisian view of the relations of our country to the other countries of the world. Among the books on display is a series of four war books which are a year-by-year record of all the phases and events of the first four years of war. They contain, besides the indispensable text, documentary appendices and text maps which facilitate understanding. Another book, "Canada After the War," was drawn up by a group of experts in the fields of politics, agriculture, industry, finance, and economics to present tlu post war problems of Canada in their- respective fields, and offer suggestions for their solution. CANUCK NISEI Still another publication. "Thre Japanese Canadians," deals with '■this current topic which is the cause of so much controversy at. the present time. Moreover, outstanding edition; of world-wide scope ar^ on display. "Bretton Woods," by W. T. G. Hacked, Montreal economist, contains "a brief sketch of the background of the proposals, followed by a clear explanation o'' 1he salient features of the monetary recommendations." Added to this is a contrast of the attitudes of the United States and Britain toward the proposals. FRISCO PEACE "San Francisco—First Step '.•> Peace." by Norman Smith, deals with the United Nations Charter for international .security, an 1 analyzes Hg values. These, end many other timely volumes, should be invaluable to .'.Indents ef contemporary history and pcr-ens interested in current topics. THE UBYSSEY, Tuesday, October 23, 1945, Page 2 EDITORIAL PAGE Election Quandary Loose wording in the Alma Mater Society constitution in regard to elections hat caused trouble in the past, and is likely to bring more sorrows to election committees in the future. One offending phrase, which pertains to marking ballots in our preferential voting system, runs as follows, "Each voter shall write the number 1 opposite the name of the candidate for whom he desires to vote and if he so desires the number 2 opposite the candidate of his second choice and progressively until all candidates whose names appear on the list are alloted choices. Different interpretations of the phase have been selected by previous election committees and the consensus of opinion has had it that a ballot cast for an office for which two or more candidates are running is spoiled unless each candidates name is marked in numerical choice order by the voter. Ninety-eight ballots were incompletely marked and ruined in the election last week, and although it seems unreasonable to believe that student rush to their Tillicums and peruse the voting regulations before going to the polls, there is bound to be a great deal of confusion in the future unless some definite stand is taten to put more "teeth" into the voting rules. If the system of preferential voting is to be effective each voter must be required to mark a numerical choice opposite the name of every candidate, and the wording in the constitution be revised and made more concrete accordingly. The weak point in preferential voting is that students are required to vote for all the candidates, who may total as many as six as for the office of Sophomore Member last week, and may only know one or two of them well enough to vote intellegently. But students travelling to the polls merely to exercise their franchise and blissfully ingnor- ant of the bad or good qualities, if any, of each candidate, are certainly no new phenomena at the university. The good part of preferential voting is that when a majority of the student body votes it is more difficult for power groups to engineer elections. It's up to the twenty-three percent of the student body who roused themselves to vote last Wednesday, to see that either the wording of the constitution is changed to make true preferential voting legal, or that this mode of ballot casting be abandoned before spring elections. A Neglected Project One of the rosy dreams launched this year the plan whereby senior students would provide voluntary tutoring for veterans, has to date evaporated into oblivion. This was because it was a very nice thought, but an impractical one, and the students attempting to put it forward might as well forget all about it until post-Christmas days. Campus-wide plans, if dependent entirely upon student enterprise have to swing into action early and impression of their importance must be dinned into the student mind by a determined and efficient corps of student organizers. A student tutoring plan, which would involve compilation of names of a fair number of senior students with enough time and self- confidence to instruct campus returnees, is a unique thought and would take much pressure off faculty assistants, especially in the science departments. However, it can only be organized on a campus-wide scale early in the term when all potential instructors and instructorees are accounted for and settled down. Let's bring up the subject again next January and give it a try if the would be instructors don't graduate with BAC's. • stresses and strains .... by Bruce Beweii • ONE OF THE CURRENT topics of dis- cussion among men who wear red sweaters and sliderules is the possibility of the introduction of a six year course in engineering. While opinions among both students and faculty members differ greatly, several significant points arise. The most consistent suggestion is that the present five year course should be spread over six years with the introduction of some of the humanities. This would mean that the number of lectures would be approximately the same but the hours of labs would be reduced considerably. CULTURED REDSHIRTS YET! In addition to the culture the engineers would absorb from their lectures, they would also have more time to devote to extra- cirricular activities without fear of jeopardizing their scholastic standing. More and more the engineers are realizing that the much desired "man of many parts" may have something there after all. While it is generally recognized that the graduate engineers turned out by UBC are second to none, in most cases their knowledge of other than technical subject is sadly deficient. There are notable exceptions to this general rule but they are few and far between. IS IT WORTH IT? On the other side of the ledger is the fast that a six year course cannot be substituted for a five year course without delaying grad- uation one year. The point that arises is whether or not the broadened outlook is worth an extra year of study. In answer to this the proponents of the extended course point out that one of the most important things an engineer learns at university is the ability to think in a truly logical and scientific manner. Such an asset cannot be acquired overnight. Whereas any number of formulas can be committed to memory in a comparatively short time the ability to apply these formulas requires a more mature knowledge that cannot be picked up in a matter of weeks. There is maximum rate at which real knowledge can be acquired. STILL SOME DEADHEADS Another criticism that arises is that even if the course is extended there will still be a number of redshirts who will still not take part in any student activities. This is only too true. However, the additional intangible value of those who did take the opportunity to broaden themselves should more than compensate for these deadheads. Any person wno really wants to highball towards a degree could always go elsewhere and leave UBC with the unique reputation of turning out cultured engineers. Chauncey, haad me my Plato and Slide- rule. I am going to study tonight. • LETTERS To The Editor LETTER TO ED Dear Madam: The writer of the editorial "The Canadian Legion," seems to be confused in his mind concerning both what he has to say and what the purpose of the legion on the campus is. It is a confusing article and would be amusing in ,ts inadequacy, if it were not for tho fact that, it is from such ill-informed sources that groundless prejudices, such as thc writer mentions us a posibility, arise. The passive resistance mentioned is well illustrated in the article; passive in that the writer has not bothered tc inform himself concerning thc purpose of the legion and resistant in that he suggests the returned men are diverting their activity inward The legion is concerned wholly with the welfare of veterans, which, in the case of branch No. 72, means veteran students. The legion concerns cover c much broader field in this respect than simply university politics. The legion is not attempting to further the betterment of a section of tho student body to the detriment of the rest; rather it is concerned, in any of its campus activities, with the welfare of tho university as a whole, and in this respect stands in support of, not, as was inferred, in opposition to the Alma Mate. Society. Many of the veterans have acquired valuable experience and knowledge during their iervice and are, as a result, capable of helping the student body. For this reason the legion is anxious to see veterans take, as members of the AMS, an active part in campus activities. We would further disagree with the article, in that, we feel wc are as entitled to club room space as any of the clubs now occupying such space on the campus. Free speech we must have, but let's have it in the form of honest, informed criticism, not petty space- filler articles. It is now we must kill prejudice, before it has a chance to grow in narrow minds, so that working in harmony we can build a bigger and better University of British Columbia for the future. TONY GREER, President, Branch 72, Canadian Legion. EDITORS NOTE: We arc net mis - Informed of the purposes which the Canadian Legion serves on the campus and realize that this organization has much value to Us members. We were merely ottering our opinions on (he relation of the Canadian Legion to student activity and do not retract our views on the subject. Brings Culture To Dishwashing • CAMBRIDGE, Mass, (BUP)- A* young man walked into a Harvard Square restaurant here and in a cultured voice asked manager Frank Cardullo: "Would it be possible that you have an opening in this establishment for a student who desires to devote his evenings to massaging your china and restoring the sheen to your cutlery?" "You mean you want a job as a dishwasher?" inquired Cardullo. The man nodded and he was promptly hirfed.

The story is based on Alberta folklore, but concerns a character, Hatfield, who actually lived in the Medicine Hat district of Alberta and claimed that he had a rain- making machine which would bring rain to relieve the drougnt. This play is being put on by by Miss Dorothy Sommeriet and the experimental theatre, directed by Nancy Bruce. Student Beverly Wilson is assistant director. "Orange Blossoms" is an English comedy. The directoVs are Christine Chanter of the Little Theatre, with George Baldwin, as assistant director. The plot of the drama "Altar Piece," concerns the life of a Jewish portrait painter. John Barnes, of CBR, is director, and Gerry Williamson assistant director. Jim Argue, business and publicity manager of the club, announced that student nights will be November 13-14. Thc Players Club permits students to see the plays free of charge on thes? nights. The plays will also ho presented November 16-17.

To his amazement, not only was he followed by 40 electricals, but also by 10 chemicals, 5 miners, 10 civils, 15 mechanicals, and 3 artsmen. Reserve a woman for November 6th. That is the date set for engineers informal, a function that has been much enjoyed in pa*st yearc. It will be held in the Brock again this year. There was a good turn out at the pep meet last Thursday. In fact there were as many second year sciencemen there as there aro students in the whole of the aggie faculty. The Chemicals chartered a boat and took n field trip up to Wood- fibre last Friday. The poker game was interrupted only for meals and a trip through the plant. Thc Dawson club is attending the annual convention of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Met- alurgy in the Hotel Vancouver for three days this week starting on Wednesday. Remember boys, the convention is held upstairs this ycar. The EUS is co-operating fully with the AMS on thc student tutoring plan, announced EUS president Jack Beveridge, this week. Senior applied science students will be asked in their classes to volunteer as tutors. Civil Engineers In Auditorium Startle Co-eds • TWO CO-EDS, almost late for what they thought was their psychology lecture, silently opened the door of the auditorium and slipped into their seats. Immediately roars, whooplngd and catcalls burst forth and continued unabated until the one coed said to the other; "What are they whooping about?" "There don't seem to be any girls." "Oh, it's a big class; they are all up at the front." Finally one of the more civilized of the redshirts asked: "Are you taking civil engln eering?" Quickly the two embarrassed co-eds slipped out as silently as they came in. Prof*s Notes Rank High With Army « • CINCINNATI (UP)-A college professor's lecture notes maybe a headache to his students, but the U.S. Army places a high value on them, Capt. Raymond L. Mooney, former profrssor of religion and sociology at Xavier University here, was flown from Fort Worth, Texas, Army airfield to Cincinnati to get, his notes to use in sociology classes at the field. It all started when the Fo't Worth airfield inaugurated a series of sociology classes for student pilots. Capt. Mooney was named instructor. "But I haven't my notes here,' he said. "Get 'cm," replies the brass hat. So in no time at all Mooney was on his way to Cincinnati for the vital notes. Hooky is Popular • BATON ROGUE, La., (UPi- A study made by Dr. Paul C.

Mangled Bodies Worry Commissionaires • STUDENTS RETURNING to UBC this year, find that something has been added to their old stamping ground, the library, and they are not sure if they like it or not. Students stumbling in the door of the library, are now faced by an imposing uniformed figure. "What does it mean?" they murmur. "Are we to be trusted no longer?" Imagination runs l'.fe on the subject. Some think we have a special policeman to guard certain precious documents, or rare books, and others, obviously brought up on a diet of "Lurid Crime" mutter darkly of a slayer in our midst, masquerading behind a volume of "Romeo and Juliet." With this in mind we warily eye our neighbor in the library, who lifts a questioning eyebrow. Flustered, we mumble a request for a squirt from his ink bottle, but are informed icily that he does not possess one. No, we no longer trust anyone. THE BROW? In fact it's come to the point where guilty looks and harrassed brows arc a common sight in the library as students rummage through their past for forgotten crimes, and spend their spare time wondering if did they or did thoy not return that library book, and put out that cigarette butt. However, the true facts of the case came to light when the man in question, one Commissionaire Marshall was questioned. AFFABLE He was affable and completely unmysterious. Though willing to answer questions he also wanted to air an opinion or two on students and their ways. He stated that he is one of a group of about fifteen men from the Corps of Commissionaires scattered around the campus. His special job is to watch for the stray student smoking on the premises, or just generally loitering around. Also he is on hand to direct the bewildered freshmen, ex-servicemen, etc. He finds the students on the whole, cause him no trouble at all, but thinks that signs posted about smoking would make things much clearer to the new student. Also if students would kindly refrain from wedging three or four into one section of the revolving door, with resultant mangled bodies, everyone would be much happier. NOTICE • ESSAYS, notes, typed.

Fourteen Co-eds Share 1927 Chev • SASKATOON, October 23 - (CUP)—Inmates of University of Saskatchewan's College Inn, a women's dormitory, will walk no longer. The fourteen girls have completed arrangements for the purchase of a 1927 Chevrolet coach, and have split the cost of $140 among them. The girls say they will develop a daily schedule which will allow the use of the vehicle to each member of the group in turn. MALE FRIENDS Male friends of the fourteen enterprising ladies will be expected to donate no less than four gallons of gasoline if they should, on the eve of a date, find that their particular lady friend has the use of the car.

In order to accommodate the returned men who want university degrees, the university has leased the large shell-filling plant at Ajax, Ontario, some 20 miles east of Toronto, and is turning it into a large head-filling plant for first and possibly second year engineering students. Most of the other major Canadian universities are discussing similar plans, but Toronto is one of the urst to actually make the move and judging from the expected enrollment for this yea-, it's not any too soon. According to the surveys taken among the armed forces, from 35,000 to 70,000 men will be heading university- wards and at least half of these men have decided on engineering as the course they want to take. When the faculty ot engineering and applied science at Toronto, university began boiling down these figures to find out how many new students it would mean for them, thsy came up with the start, ling number of between three anl four thousand during the next two years or so. Well, of course there isn't that much space available on the campus for that many would-be engineers, so there began a period of looking around to find a place to put them, and the only place within a reasonable distance that could be obtained was the Defence Industries Ltd., plant at Ajax which closed down on V-J Day. In 1942, at the opening of Ajax it had a 36 bed hospital, dormitory accommodation for some 3,000 workers, Its own post-office, barber shop, hairdresslng salon, and a dining room which seats 750 at a tune. All this has been acquired by the university at well as the Industrial buildings. Dr. Sydney Smith, president of the university, and Dean C. R. Young, Dean of Applied Science and Engineering, are both feeling very pleased with the arrangements. As far as Dr. Smith is concerned a split campus ls nothing new, since during his 10- year presidency at Manitoba university, half of the university was in the city, and the other half was well out of town. The only difference is that the dean and president are determined that the Ajax period will last no longer than five years at the most, and that by the end of that time the university will all b-.- back together on the Toronto campus. TWO YEAR PLAN In January or February of next year, Ajax will be ready for first year students in Applied Science and Engineering. The students starting at Ajax in January will finish their course in August, in time to start second year in September with the rest of the students, so that by September of 1946 the whole of first and second year, returned men, as well as regular students, will be out at Ajax. Most of the students will be living out there, since there is dormitory room for some 2800 as well as some of the staff. Some will, of course, commute, and the bus service is being extended to give hourly trips. From the centre of Toronto to Ajax by bus will take approximately 50 minutes, which is no worse than attempting to travel from one end of Toronto to the other by streetcar. In addition to the extensive laboratory equipment, there are also plans for a good library, and Hart House is planning to extend its services of concerts, games and shows to include Ajax. Student displays and activities will be co-ordinated and there will be the inevitable university book and supply store. NOT SO TOUGH The returned men who plan on being students at Ajax feel a little sad about not getting into the university proper, but it's either Ajax or nothing, the way things stand at the moment. And, as Dr. Smith can attest with experience, a split campus isn't as bad as it sounds. As to how mudh this is going to cost, the estimates or even guess- estimates aren't available—but it will be a goodly sum. However, the Ontario government has said it will underwrite all capital and current expenses, and the dominion government is lending a large helping hand too. —Adapted from CBC's "Canadian Roundup" by Jean Tweed.

Young Vet Faces Prospect Of Leaving University • OVERJOYED because he will soon be reunited with his English bride and infant son, a young overseas veteran at the same time faces the prospect of being forced to drop his studies at this University. Any day now, Victor Wiebe, flr-.t year agriculture student, expects to hear that his family have sailed. Their papers are all ready. But Weibe has no place to put his family. Unless he can find a home for his family, Weibe says, he'll have to go back to the family home near Chiliiwack and find a job. He was especially looking forward to spending Christmas with Winifred, "the girl with the prettiest voice ln the Brlxham, South Devon, church," and their son Wayne Alfred. He will be a year old Christmas day. Wiebe found a place last week —just what he needed—and the landlady i.greed to take his child. SWELL! But she asked her son, a UBC student.

Because more than likely that gentleman will be Johnny Farina and that grin is really not a grin at all. It is a smile of pride and self satisfaction. And Johnny has a right to be proud. But as Damon Runyan would say, "There is a story goes with that." He Played^ Too Way back in 1938, Mr. Farina decided that what this university needed most was bigger and better football teams. And he was in a position to know, for right about that time Johnny was unsuccessfully trying to quarterback the Thunderbirds to the Western Canada Intercollegiate championship. Being a man of sound logic, he decided that the place to teach these budding All-Canadians was right in high school where they could pick up all the fundamentals of football before entering university. Forthwith he hied himself back to his former seat of learning, Kitsilano, asked for, and was given, the job of Football Coach— unpaid. Farina-coached teams did nothing to startle the football world that year, or for some years after. In fact they were quite mediocre. Then in the spring of 1941 the little budlets that Farina had been nursing for three years, suddenly blossomed into full bloom. They swept everything before them that season, repeated the next year and carried their win streak well on into 1943 before they were finally beaten. Two Unbeaten Seasons Farina-coached teams—did nothing to startle the football world—that year, or for some years after. In fact, they were quite mediocre. Then is the spring of 1941 the little budlets that Farina had been nursing for three years, suddenly blossomed into full bloom. They swept everything before them that'season, repeated the next year and carried their win streak well on into 1943 before they were finally beaten. But the Kitsies were stopped only momentarily. They hopped back onto the win wagon and went on to take the league title. They won again in 1914 and made it five straight last season. As my friend Willie Shakespeare once said, as we lingered over our scones and ale in our favorite pub* (The Unicorn, Stockton-on-Tees) "Not bad, not bad." He Taught 'Em But the outstanding part of Farina's work, as far as UBC is concerned, is his contribution to the Thunderbird squad, which left last night for the prairies and the Hardy Cup series. No less than six of the starters for the 'Birds will be Farina proteges. Rex Wilson, swivel-hipped touchdown artist of the 1941 Kitsilano squad, is holding down the tailback position in the Thunderbird backfield. Phil Guman will do most of the plunging from the fullback post, while Dmitri Golbef at flanke will complete the Kitsilano domination of the backfield positions. In the line Farina will be represented by Bill Mcintosh, Nate Kalensky and Cliff Wyatt. So, whether our Thunderbirds win the Hardy Cup or whether they leave it on the prairies, this university owes Johnny Farina a vote of thanks. And it shouldn't be too hard to find him, because in his spare time Johnny is taking a social service course at this institution. Very approprate, Mr. Farina. • •^lakefiettet Vlarks *»i WITH THESE COLLEGE FAVORITES YOU'LL PASS ALL YOUR TISTS WITH HONOUMI EAGLE \ IRADO WRITING PINCIL Vwiwin f COLORED PENCIL TURQUOISE DRAWING PINCIL SUVAU 3 FROM YOUR ISCHOOl SUPPLY DIAL6R • INTRAMURAL SCHEDULE VOLLELBALL Tues., Oct. 23 at 12:30—Psi Upsilon vs. Zeta Psi; Phi Kappa Sigma vs. Ex-Army.

VARSITY BOUNCES lOMAS IN CLOSE TILT Take First Place With 8-5 Win; " Yets Dump UBC To Take Second • THE VARSITY Thunderbirds kept their no loss record in tact on Saturday afternoon by taking the 'Lomas 8-5 at the Brockton Oval. The 'Lomas were led into the fray by Sammy Caros, and wing men Danny Holden and Groffe Murdoch. These boys gave the 'Birds a tough tussle for a time. The score at half was 0-0, but immediately atfer the kickoff, Caros broke loose and carted the pill for 30 yards and finally paid off with Wolfe crossing the line. The squads were so evenly matched that it looked like a tie until the last few minutes of the fracas, when Barney Curby crossed the line for the 3 points that put Varsity over the top. The Vets went into second place Saturday atfernoon by defeating UBC 14-9 at the Varsity stadium. The UBC squad captured their nine spot with three penalty kicks by Kabush, one in the first half, and the other two in tho second. Lloyd Williams of the Vets, con. verted a penalty kick for 3 points and Fred Lindsay followed through with an unconverted try for 3 points. This little manouver brought the score to 6-3 for the Vets at half time. In the second Half, Barrie Morris made a try for 3 points, which IJoyd Williams converted. Fred Lindsay made a try, making 'ip the Vets' total of 14 points. During the second half Kabush kicked two more penalties for thu UBC's bringing their total up to the 9 mark. Huskies, Webfeet In Grid Victories • WASHINGTON and Oregon latched onto victories in the Coast Conference football slate Saturday, the powerful Huskies scoring a 13-0 shutout over Oregor State Beavers in Portland, and the Oregon Webfoots upsetting Washington State Cougars by a 26-13 count. The Huskies either found holes or pounded out their own in the OSC line, which last week was so formidable against the University of Oregon. The Beavers' wall held well through the first half, but weakened after the breather when Norm Sansregret scored the first tounchdown. Freshman Gordie Hungar went over for the second tally in the dying minutes of the battle. SCORED EARLY Coach Tex Oliver's Oregon eleven took an early lead in their tilt with the Cougars, scoring in the opening four minutes of play. They added another pair of touchdowns in the second period, and finished off their total with u fourth in the third stanza. The Cougars finally managed to hit pay dirt in the final frame as they pushed back the Oregon reserve squad for two touchdowns. Hockey ists Break Even • UBC's GRASS hockey teams broke even over the weekend when the Second Team was defeated 2-0 in a close contest with Ex-Kits, while the Third Team was taking the measure of Normal School by a handsome 9-1 margin, Both games were at Connaught Park. The Blue and Gold's Second team took the offensive right off the bat in their game with the Ex- Kits girls driving the opposition well back behind their own lines. Quick passing plays failed to click for the girls when Lady Luck failed to look with approval on Varsity's efforts. In the second half, the Ex-Kits team began to roll and their terrific attacking strength was a little more than the Varsity girls could take. Both goals were scored in this period as the Kits girls rallied after their slow start. GOOD DEFENSE This score was the smallest margin that the Ex-Kit squad has won by this year and it was greatly through the work of the heavy sticked girls on defense that the score was not considerably higher. A smooth working forward line gave the opponents pelnty to worry about too, but the defense proved a hard nut to crack. The Third team from the Blue and Gold powerhouse went through a fine workout Saturday and while they were at it, gave a lesson to the Normal School gi»ls with a 9-1 win. The team is composed for the most part of girls new to UBC but they combined their efforts well to control the game throughout. Nora Moffat* from her right wing position used to advantage a beautiful driving shot into centre setting up her team mates continually. Barbara Coles who plays fullback for the squad made a good job of breaking down the plays when the opposition managed to £et close to the goal and the forwards did the rest.

IT JUST AINT CRICKET- NO TEA AND CRUMPETS By JIMMY CRICKET • PRESIDENT Jimmy Beard, addressing the first meeting of the Varsity Cricket Club last Thursday, declared that the popular conception of cricket was too closely Allied with four o'clock garden parties, and tea with buttered crumpets to be in the best interests of the game. Perhaps it was Ben Jonson, the Elisabethan essayist, who first started the idea when he said, in reference to sport, 'I can And other ways of contriving to be idle.' Later on in the Romantic Age, or was it the gay nineties, female em- nity was stirred when husbands took to using cricket bats in punishing their wives for marital infidelity. During War World II public (pinion was swayed in favor of the game when two companies of British Home Guards stopped their sport, and aimed with stumps and bats, went off to patrol a lonely section of the English coast. But history has been kind and today, wherever the Union Jack flutter.':, cricket still continues to be played. In far off India, mad groups of Englishmen go out in the midday sun to wield the willow stick and ball. And in Eng- li.nd. Labourites and Tories, united at last by thoir love for the ancient game, romp happily together on the meadows and the village greens. But here at Varsity, let's wipe the dust off the Cricket Pavilion windows and really try to understand what's going on inside. This year the club is planning an all out drive to bring in as many members as possible. The winter months must be a time of preparation if the Varsity cricketers are to keep up. their high record of success in Vancouver sporting circles. Indoor nets will be erected in the Armouries and these will be open on Thursdays and Fridays from 4.30 to 5.30. Free coaching and instruction will be given to anyone keen on learning the game. And that's a point we would like to stress. You don't have to know anything about cricket to join the club. All we want is your enthusiasm and we'll do the rest. If you have played before, and there must be many on the campus now who have, come on down and show US how to piny. Depending on your interest and support, the club is hoping to raise two full teams this winter.

Tuesday, October 23, 1945 Page 4 LUKE MOYLS, Sports Editor Soccer Squads Score Shutouts In Week-end Roundball Contests PADDY WESCOTT . . . scored safety touch Alberta Bears Down Huskies • WHEN THE University of British Columbia Thunderbirds tangle with Maury Van Vliet's Alberta Golden Bears in Edmonton tomorrow night they will be meeting their toughest opposition on the Hardy Cup trail. This was evidenced in Saskatoon Saturday when the Bears soundly trounced the University of Saskatchewan Huskies, 14-5. One of the Alberta stars was Paddy Wescott, better known in this vicinity for his basketball feats with the Thunderbirds in 1942. Paddy scored a safety touch in the flrat half to give the Albertans a 2-0 lead, going into the fiinal phase of the game. Early in the third quarter, the Bears went another six points up when they smashed over for a touchdown and convert after a blocked kick on the Husky five yard line. Shortly r.tferwards Michey Hajash galloped through the whole Husky lineup for an 83 yard run. Wescott again entered the limelight by converting this touchdown. • THE SOCCER boys really gave a royal welcome to Coach Miller McGill, who arrived in town Friday night. His presence on the upper field inspired the boys to great heights as they swamped Bob Quinn's Pro-Rec Rangers 8-0. Meanwhile at Coquitlam, UBC took a rough tussle from the Valley Farmers 1-0. In the stadium game, the Blue and Gold roundballers were laying 'seige to the Pro-Rec goal, but they could only squeeze ons tally pa.-t the line in the first half on a solo effort by Ivan Carr. At half-time coach McGill gave the boys a few pointers and some apparently sound advice because they went to work with a vengeance. From that point on, the ball never passed centre as the Varsity artists took pot-shots at the hapless Pro-Rec goalie. For- war, Iva* Carr led the parade with four more counters, followed by Frank Adams, Sid Gory and Harry Kermode, with one apiece. EVERYONE STARS The Pro-Rec forwards were never very much In the picture as the Varsity backs bottled theta up and beat them to the ball every time. The defensive play of fullbacks Jack Cowan and George Wilson was perfect and halfbacks Don Petrie, Jack Rush and Ar- mand Temoin had an easy task backing up the forward line. Goal* ies Bob Wilson and Bud Ray took turns freezing in the goal. Out at Coquitlam the UBC team out-hustled a very rugged Valley eleven to bring double glory to. university soccer. Play was fainy even in the first half with our boys showing a clean fast style but with neither team able to score. In the second half the nimble Blue and Gold forward line carried the ball to pay dirt and rightwinger Gordy Courtice shot the pill through the posts to break up a rugged contest and feive the hustle-bustle boys a hard* earned victory. Dr. Todd will give another of his informative chalk talks in Arts 106. Wednesday noon, and the teams will hold a practice at 3:00 p.m. the same day on the upper Add. • HE SCORES—Harry Kermode pictured above was one of the contributors to the cause when the Varsity Eleven defeated Pro-Rec Saturday scoring eight goals without a reply. 4 Years of Good Government The Coalition Government of British Columbia was formed in 1941: Throughout four difficult years it has not only co-operated to the utmost limit with thc national war effort, but it has maintained high standards of provincial administration and laid the foundations for a better tomorrow.

It will seek support on the basis of its record and offer a continuation of its programme of sound progressive administration. British Columbia cannot afford to embark upon any new form of government under untried leadership.
