MeKECHNIE an Council Discusses Budgetjor Year Qaaatlona Dealing with Athletics also brought up. A prolonged debate on the question of this year's budget apportionments, featured the last session of the Students' Council. Estimates of the proposed financial requirements 04, the various organisations of tha university were submitted for consideration by Council. Final decisions were deferred, pending the reports of the various organisations Interested. The needs ot the men's athletic association were brought forward. A committee waa appointed to investigate and report to Council on the possibility of obtaining and refitting tne contractor's frame construction bunkhouses for use aa dressing rooms tor Varsity athletes. A written request from the executive of Arts '27, asking that the class be granted permission to organize a hike to Capilano, October 24th, was received. The request was sanctioned. It has been noticed that in discus sing the actions of Council, certain students tend to consider that individuals are responsible for Council deliberations. It wa8 pointed out, however, that Council operates as a unit and that Individual opinions are unofficial. The Canadian Rugby Club was glv- on permission to proceed with the formulation ot a program for games this fall. In years past it has been the custom among athletic and literary clubs engaging In competition with outside societies, to leave the arrangement of games, etc., until the fall term commenced. The obvious drawbacks to such procedure are evident. Time Is lost and last minute plans often prove Inadequate. Therefore, Council advises all clubs whose activities necessitate the drafting of regular season programs to get ail fall events calendared by the spring of the preceding term if possible. The executive of "La Causerie" submitted » request that the club he permitted to hold a private Soiree on the evening of October 21at. The request was granted.

SEVEN HONORARY DEGREES CONFERRED ON FRIDAY University at Point Gray Officially Opaned. Inspiring Addrassas Givan by Prominent Man. Solemn and impressive ceremonies marked the opening of the University at its new home last week. Many distinguished guests and representatives of various organisations and Institutions were present at the different assemblies. Honorary degrees were conferred on Sir Arthur Currle, Dr. H. K. McKechnie, Dr. H. Siutallo, Hon. W. C. Nichol, Hon. J. D. MacLean, Dr. H. E Young and Dr. Plaskett. Several interesting and inspiring addresses were given on education and the University in general. GENERAL ASSEMBLY "It is fitting," said Dr. R. 0, McKechnie, M.D„ CM., L.L.D., F.A.C.8, Chancellor of the University of British Columbia, in his speech to students and guests last Thursday afternoon, "It is fitting that this, the first assembly in the inauguration ceremonies should be a gathering of the student body. The University is their home." Referring to the honors which the sons and daughters of the University had brought to her, he declared that it was hit firm conviction that the new and Increased facilities at Point Orey would result in higher honors heaped upon the University. Sir Arthur Currle, O.C.M.O., K.C.B., L.L.D., principal of McOill University, with which tho predecessor of the University ot British Columbia was affiliated, was greeted with tremendous applause when he rose to address the students. This gathering, he said, is an Inspiring and yet sad spectacle., It resembles tho parade of the soldiers as they left for the front. Some of them were bound for the highest pinnacles of honor and fame; but some reached only oblivion. "It is your own business," he said, "to decide which. The road to success is long and treacherous. But If you will strive, dare, and be true, you will succeed." "Have you ever asked yourselves the question: 'Why am I here?' If you have come here for knowledge on'.y, then go home and study the Encyclopedia Britannlca for In it you will And nearly all the Information a man requires," The mind must be, not a mere echo of other men, not a mere reflector of those who have gone before, but a seed-bed wherein may be developed great thoughts and worthy deeds. Character must be the complement of knowledge. As an Illustration of the proper function of a university education, he cited the famous Inscriptions graven on the entrance to Harvard. Aa you enter you read: "Enter and learn wisdom," and as you leave: "Depart and serve your country and your kindred." He adVlsed all students, especially those who were at college for the first time, to keep proper proportion in all things and to remember that the University man Is the representative of thought tn the community; and not only is he the representative but also the leader and as such It is his duty to load in the defence of truth and light and in the attack on darkness and wrong. INAUGURATION The meeting on Friday afternoon was opened with an invocation for divine guidance, by the Rev. W. H. Smith, M.A., Ph.D., D.D. Mr. C. J. Thompson presenting Hon. \V. H. Sutherland with a souvenir key to the Library Building, started a round of general praise and congratulations, which was continued hy Dr. Sutherland In his reply. Mr. H. Whittaker spoke In the same vein as, on behalf of the Provincial Government, he presented Hon. Dr. Sutherland with a grand master key of the buildings. Thlt key was then turned over to the Chancellor, Dr. R. E. McKechnie, who accepted It on behalf of the Board ot Governors. These formalities over, Hon. W. C. Nichol, Lieut.-Oovernor of British Columbia, Hon. J. D. MacLean, Minister of Finance and Education, and Dr. Henry Suzzallo, President of the University ot Washington, addressed the assembled representatives of the business, professional, and educational men and women of the Province. Dr. Suzzallo, In an address not only eloquent, but also Inspiring, said that In this day of democracy, when all (Continued on Page 4) DR. HENRY SUZZALLO Winchester Head Visits Varsity Dr. Randall Addraaeaa Student* on Education and Classica A large number of atudents considered themselves doubly fortunate last week—they had a lecture cancelled and heard Dr. Rendall at one and the same time, Dr. Rendall, headmaster for the pent fifteen years of Winchester Grammar school, Is in the city In connection with the Rhodes Scholarship Trust. He gave to his audience the views of "a candid old man" saying just what he believed on the subject of the teaching profession. "I have," said he, "been a schoolmaster for thirty-seven years, I am still unashamed and unrepentant, and I am happy. Teaching Is a great opportunity and a tremendous respon* slvlllty. To shape the mind of tne ohlld Is to shape the state." Some- people would have us believe that the teacher's greatest aim in life U a large salary. They are wrong. "The (Continued on Page I) Saints Defeated In Feature Contest Before a thousand wildly excited soccer fans, very few of whom wero from the University of B. C, the Varsity first , eleven fought their way through to a great victory last Saturday at the expense of last year's Mainland champions, Saint Andrew's. The encounter was described by Impartial eye witnesses as the best soccer game that has been played on local fields this season and when the blue and gold squad walked off the leld, winners by a margin of two goals, they were given a great handout by a soccer and sports loving crowd who cheered the fighting spirit of the student pigskin chasers. The game was packed full of thrill from whistle to whistle; there were no idle moments and students of U.B.C. who think soccer is a slow game would have got an oyefall If they had visited Bob Brown's enclosure last Saturday. Varalty 8ooret The black and white shlrted Saints shot down hill in the first stanza and their short passing tactics were pretty to watch but were repeatedly broken up by stellar defence tactics adopted by the collegians backs and goalie. Varsity forwards bombarded Sharp from all angles and the Scots' goalie had many anxious moments, but held '\ls citadel In the first half and when the interval came there was no score. After the oranges the U.B.C. squad forced the play and had the Saints' defence working overtime; their efforts were at length rewarded when Cy Manning, who wp.s playing a whale of a game at centre half, scored from about the penalty line. Ten u'nutes later Rex Cameron, Varsity's right wing flash, tore In and sent In a scorcher that had Sharp beaten to a standstill. 8alnts Rally This reverse put, new life Into the Saints and they came back strong. Dave Turner, their star forward, sent In some hot shots that extended Mosher to his limit and Varsity supporters held their breath on many occasions when Haggle made some seemingly impossible saves. Turner broke through once, however, with Eb Crute, the stalwart Varsity back out of position: Buckley intercepted but the Saint sharpshooter was away for an open goal: Mosher ran out to meet him but Turner tapped the ball Into the net out of his reach. Tommy Wilkinson then came Into the limelight and scorad Varsity's nected with a oorner sent In by Rex third and last counter when he con- Cameron. Many opportunities were passed up by Varsity forwards but the fighting spirit that they showed throughout the entire fracas together with improved team work, Insures their success In •he Pacific Coast League, Varsity first soccer men and those few who attended the game went away with glad hearts tor it waa indeed a great victory. Tht losers have (Continued on Page 4) STUDENTS AND ALUMNI ENJOY FINE PROGRAM Old-timara, Saniors and Froth Give Entertaining Numbers As Art Lord said, It was an "auspicious occasion." From the minute the engineers In the front rows began to squawk until the singing of the Nutlonal Anthem, Items followed one another at a very lively pace. The large audience of about 1,000 students, showed a great deal more life than they have for a long time, The program commenced with two silhouettes put on by the Alumni. These were entitled "The Ballad of Mary Jane" and 'Lord Ulien's Daughter." Mrs. F. O. C. Wood read the parts; and except for the eudden eclipse of the sun and the fall of the cow-that-Jumped-over-the-moon, everything turned out fine. The lark soared beautifully and the actors wept oceans of confetti, In between the two pieces the orchestra played a couple of selections and acquitted itself quite nobly for a 8-pioce orchestra. Next on the programme, the Big Feet Follies, deported from Shanghai, made their appearance for a second time be* fore a Varsity audience. This light- stepping band of nymphs consisting of Messrs. Armour, Asliwortb, Oautb- ler, Wales and Smith gave a very polished exhibition of the terpsiohor- ean art. At the end of the encore, tha audience showed their appreciation Of tho dance by presenting to Mr. Smith a fine package of dog biscuits, contributed by Tanny Butler. The next performers, the Varsity quartet, gave two very pleasing numbers, the encore being especially good. Those taking part were; Miss Baird. Miss Kerr, Mr. Barton and Mr. Louden. After this item Allie Maxwell, the Varsity song leader mounted to the platform and led a few songs. After the general noise of the community singing had subsided Potter and hts girl friend, Mr. Bentley Edwards sang a touching little ditty "I don't want to play In your yard." Next, "passing from the ridiculous to the sublime," came a violin solo by Miss Alice Mete. This talented artist gave an extremely fine rendering of two pieces, the encore especially appealing to the audience. Miss Metz well deserved the hearty ap: plause accorded her. The programme committed wishing to keep tho audience In paradise a little while longer) next presented the I'kelele Ladles from the Hawalan Inles. This was one of the most pleasing parts of the whole performance, Two very popular pieces "Ukelele Lady" and "Yearning" were rendered extremely well; while "Collegiate" was given with an Arts '29 ending in response to two loud encores. After the programme was over, a rush order was sent over to Hawaii for another such shipment of ladles. The fair Freshettes taking part were: Misses Brownrlgg, Delaney, Killam, Math- eson and Wilson with Miss Maloney at the piano. As a prelude to their (Continued from Page 5) HON. J. D.

OUR POLICY The editorial policy of a college paper, depending bo largely upon whatever ideas or ideals its editor may possess, of necessity changes annually. No part of its policy may be guaranteed n per- sual for longer than a year, and by no means for that length, if it prove unacceptable to the all-powerful, the much-named Student Body. For this year, then, we would say that, subject to the approval of our fellow-students, we interpret our responsibility as one demanding an independent attitude on affairs both within and without our walls. It is our intention, however, though the maintenance of an independent policy may occasionally prevent us from wholly agreeing ^rith the views of the Students' Council or other governing bodies, at all times to guard against advocating conduct which would endanger the prestige of student self-government. Continuing our claim for independence, however, we intend not to be awed by the spectre of a money-lending taxpayer, and we will advocate additional qualities in ourselves, as students, than that of dutiful grammarian. In the final analysis, it is our earnest hope that our columns will at all times mirror the opinions of the majority of thinking students within our University. LETTERS TO THE UBYSSEY Beginning with the next issue, the Ubyssey will adopt the policy that all letters appearing in its correspondence columns bear the actual names of the writers. Communications not accompanied by signatures for publication will be filed in the waste puper basket. In order that this arrange men t may prove satisfactory, it is necessary that our rentiers bear one thhif» in mind. It is absolutely essetitial that no disrespect be shown by any one student to any other because of the hitter's published opinions. If what any student has to say through the columns of this paper be adjudged sufficiently pertinent by its editors to be printed, then the student who thus broadcasts his message must be given the justice of ordinary respect by his fellows, no matter how unpopular his views may be at tho time, We are moved to point out this "must" from experience in past years, when ultra-conservative elements within the undergraduate society found ways to make it unjustly disagreeable for one or two who had expressed unpopular, yet, as it proved, very sane views through the Ubyssey, Treat the letter-writer justly, and be will not find it necessary to take refuge in Latin, which, in the words of Browning's Bishop is "Ulpian at the best." THOSE GREEN BANDS The Freshman class as a whole is to be congratulated on the good 'sportsmanship which it has shown in carrying out the rules and regulations of its initiation; but, as usual, the majority must suffer for the sins of tho few. Why these few offenders persist in refusing to wear their green aini-bands, when the benefits accruing therefrom are so obvious, is a mystery, For one thing consider how many horrible faux pas are avoided. Freshies recognize their own classmates as sueh, and do not ask casual acquaintances "if they are in first year toot" when the said acquaintances are probably seniors or graduates. (Wo speak with feeling on this point, remembering vividly our own first year, before the days of green bands.) When the Frosh of today have become the Sophomores of tomorrow, they will have no difficulty in seeing why the class of '30 should do thoroughly all that is required of them, It is. a pity that there are a few who are not broad-minded enough to apply the same reasoning to their own case. ROSES AND RUBBISH There is an old saying: "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet," which by judicious turning and twisting may be converted into the following: "A university student in whatever place he may be, will act the same." Although this form of the proverb may not be as poetic, it is quite as accurate, and at least has the advantage of being capable of proof. For example: when the University of British Columbia was in its old home in Fairview, the students had a tendency to feel they were an admirable University body in totally unworthy surroundings. Being firmly, and quite correctly, convinced of this they did not in any way attempt to take proper care of their campus. And the best way the undergraduate had of venting his spleen on the innocent buildings for not being "marble halls," was by throwing all waste paper at random about the grounds. Even our numerous editorials failed to remedy the evil, Now the University is in its New Home, as the students have undoubtedly heard before, and the New Home has been found to be worthy even of the I'Diversity of British Columbia. But, and here comes the proof of the above proverb, tht* students have continued to act as though they were still in the old Fairview Shanks. Evidently the senior years are bound by tho "iron chain of habit," and tho freshman class is peeved to think that it wus never in a valid postion to laconically throw refuse about the college precincts. At any rate, whatever the cause, the new grounds nre ut present littored with lunch papers, apple cores, cast-off Ubysseys and the remains of hot-dogs. This is bad enough, but the height of the offence is reached when the Botanical Gardens are used as a waste paper basket. In future this untidiness must stop. Refuse baskets have been placed at intervals about the campus for the use of the students, and it is up to them TO SEE THAT ALL WASTE IS PLACED IN THEM; AND THAT ON NO ACCOUNT IS IT TO BE THROWN ANY- WHERE ABOUT THE CAMPUS. Dr. Rendall Speaks (Continued from Page 1) teacher is called, not to attend to the money stuff but to supervise the soul stuff." Pursuing this line of thought tho speaker went on to show that the aim of the teacher was not only to educate, but also to cultivate the youthful mind. Culture is the necessary counterbalance of scientific education. The all-round man must have both. Address to Classlos Student! Dr. Rendall also addressed a small audience in the Applied Science building Tuesday noon. He spoke for the brief while at his disposal on classics and their value in present day education and life. It is regrettable that such a number of students missed so excellent, so humorous and so learned an address as the few discriminating members Of the University who attended were privileged to hear. The speaker first referred to his life-long sympathy with Greek and Latin. He called them "gymnastic apparatus", the basis of a Bound education. This education, ho said, had proved better when put to trial in the war than the special education in naval colleges such as Dartmouth and Osborne where Latin and Greek are not taught. Public school boys, boys who had learned Latin at least and possibly (Jreek, were equally as apt, equally as practical as naval college boys. Dr. Kendall said that he for one denied that a study of classics was Incompatible with the study of any science. Latin, he said, was as scientific, and as rigidly exact as the lines of a Roman temple. A groundwork In classics, in his opinion, could profitably precede thorough work In science. After making reference to the former vogue for Latin, the speaker touched on the spurious "Courier Latin" before passing to the present status of Latin in England. No longer in England Is Greek dreamt and Latin verse written. Although the classics are still prominent In elementary education, science is gradually becoming more important. Dr. Rendall said, however, that he hoped the day might never come when classics will have vanished rrom curricula. Something, he was certain, would be lost; a source of mental discipline. Speaking with a hint of humor, Dr. Rendall nevertheless was deeply In earnest In his concluding statements: "Should such a tlmo come we would have lost u joy, a transient yet inherent joy: the sound of centuries would have made Inaudible those distant, articulate voices of two vanished races, and that spring of learning would have run dry that makes Milton Intelligible and for the first time opens Dante to the reader," NOTICE TO STUDENTS A limited numbtr of tht llluttnttd booklttt prtpartd by tht Unlvtrtlty Exttnalon Commltttt outlining tht growth, buildings and aqulpmtnt of the Unlvtrtlty are on tale In tht bookstore at twtnty-flvt otntt taeh. I A TRIBUTE TO THE HUDSON'S BAY CO. The University owes a debt of gratitude and appreciation to the Hudson's Bay Company for tne Interest which that company has shown in University affairs, by displaying, during the paBt week, a beautifully decorated window In connection with the inauguration ceremonies. The display showed Knowledge, portrayed by a won.an dressed In flowing white robes, seated by a table, with a scroll In her liand. In the foreground stood two urdverslly students, turning In homage toward the figure of Knowledge. In the immediate forground were one or two excellent pictures of the University buildings, and a quiet announcement of the Inauguration ceremonies . We would like the company to know that we appreciate their Interest In us, and their kindness in 'Tinging this Important occasion In our university life to .he public notice. Intense Interest in "Outward Bound" In their four years of existence there has never been more unanimity of opinion among members of the Little Theatre Association as to the merits of a particular play than there is over the production of "Outward Bound" on October 19 to 24. Hore Is a play which seems to fulfil the highest demands of the association. It Is unusual to a degree; It requires a high standard ot art to properly present It; it calls for a considerable cast; It combines comedy and the deeper questions ot life now and hereafter In a happy mixture and, except for the enterprise of the Little Theatre, it Is improbable that the people of Vancouver would be afforded any opportunity of seeing It. Sutton Vane, whose first play it was, has dealt with the difficult subject of life after death in a manner that has brought him at one bound to the forefront of playwrights. He has succeeded In avoiding morbidity absolutely. Comedy and wit predominate In every scene. Already a large number of new associates and subscribers have been added to the Little Theatre's roll. More are needed, for the directors have set the goal this year of a roll of 2000 paid-up members and subscribers. To keep afloat, to constantly add expensive Improvements to the theatre Itself in the way of lighting equipment and stage effects, and at the same time to give the people of Vancouver the highest class of plays, call for constant effort and careful financing by the Little Theatre.

Chlelt Reporter has been drawn to the* severe criticism which the report (in laBt Tuesday's Issue), ot Che Pep meeting has received from some students.

As a tett ot student opinion he has reported the same meeting in another ***' "P»t» MtlTINO HILO" Arts '21 was In charge of the Pep meeting bald on Friday. Oct. a. The object ot the meeting was to develop enthusiasm for the Canadian Rugby fame. The Sophomore orchestra rendered a number of aeleetions. Several yells were given, some of them led by Tommy Berto, who was introduced by Buck McLeod as the new yall-leadtr. Mestrt. Guernsey, Bates, and Seed made sbort speeches in Support of the Canadian Rugby team. Ir. Rose, Canadian Rugby coach, Sded his request for support to ose of the other gentlemen. The science men rendered their yell. Mr. Wilkinson again outlined the policy of the Students Council. The meeting then adjourned.

Royal City Students to Have Special Car To accommodate students at the University of British Columbia and the normal school who live in New Westminster and along the Central Para line, the B. C. Electric Railway Company will begin the operation of a Special Intefrurbau car running direct to the University next Monday morning. The car will leave the Intersection of Fourth avenue and Sixth street, New Westminster, at 7.80 o'clock each week-day morning, travelling via hid- monds, Highland Park and the Central Park line. It will cross the city by Broadway and out to Sasamat and Tenth avenue, where it will connect with the University buses. Students travelling by the special car will arrive at the University buildings at 8.62 o'clock. B. C. Electric officials In announcing the new car say that it will be placed on trial to ascertain what patronage It wlh receive. • There are quite a number of University and Normal students living along the route and it Is expected the car will meet a demand. If patronage does not materialize the car will be discontinued. All existing students' tickets will be good on this car. it will be restricted to students In the meantime. THE ORPHEUM Another of the great novelty bills for which the Orpheum was so famous last season is on its way here and will play for three days at the big Granville street playhouse, opening with a matinee next Thursday. On this superb menu of entertainment there are a host of stars of the first magnitude, not to mention a bevy of pretty dancing girls and a dozen Jazz artists that will have everyone on their feet.

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN | There was the sound of a step mounting the back stairs to the door. Every dog knows his master's step; and Rollln knew that this was his master coming home from work. Ordinarily he would have dashed out rrom behind the stove where he wns lying, to stand with the two children and wait eagerly for the door to open; but tonight—to-night It was all different: deep down in his dog heart he felt It would never be like that again. The door opened and his master entered, but Rollln did not move, He lay there quite still, his chin resting on the floor, and his eyes full of unutterable misery. Rollin had committed the unpardonable sin:, he had bitten a man, Just that morning, shortly after his master had gone to work, and while bis mistress and the ohildren were still upstairs in bed, a man, quite heedless of Rollln'a barking remonstrances, had mounted the front steps. He was no ordinary man this: he was a black sooty fellow with a high pointed hat and a long handled brush which he carried over his shoulder. Rollln had never seen anything like him before. And then with the brush he had tapped lightly upon the door. This was more than the dog could stand. How was ho to know what harm this strange looking man might or might not mean to his mistress and the children Inside. He sprang fiercely up at him. The man stepped back, threw out an arm to protect himself, and the dog's teeth closed on his hand. The next moment the door had opened and his mistress held him by the collar. "Rollin." It was his master calling him. He moved out from behind the stovo and went up to him, wiggling his body in a spiritless attempt to show pleasure. He felt quite sure that his master knew of hla, Rollln's, great offense. Indeed, he felt that all the men, children, women, and dogs In the world must know about It. The master did know about It, too, for his wife had just told him; and now looking down at Rollln and resting his hand on the shaggy head he merely said- "Poor boy," then turned away. They placed a supper ou Rollln's plate that night which was more tempting than usual, but he left It untouched and crept In behind the stove to resume his brooding. He lay there quite still except for an occasional long drawn breath which the children said sounded like crying. It was a strange thing, this brooding, this deep-felt misery. He had received no severe upbraiding for his misdeed, and a psychologist might say that as a dog he waa incapable of understanding that he had done wrong at all. But It was not a case of understanding at all, it was Just, an overwhelming sense of guilt which weighed upon him, an Instinct, If you will, which filled him with misery and a premonition of Impending 'ragedy. He felt, perhaps, Ilk" some early pagan who, In a moment of blind anger, had risen tip and shuttered lit" god which he had been taught to reverence from youth. When the family were half way through supper the telephone bell ran;1,'. The master rose and went Into the other room to answer it, After a considerable length of time he cime back Into the kitchen, and Rollln listened to him speaking. He could not tell, of course, what It wns that he was saying, but he heard his own name several times, and he cou'd sense a bad troubled ring In the voice, which seemed somehow akin to his own misery. When the master finished speaking, the little girl, who was the older of the two children, started to cry. A while later she crept In behind the stove where Rollin was lying and sat there with her arm around his neck and her head resting upon his, He reached up once to lick her face, then settled his chin on the floor and, sad-eyed, resumed his brooding, Rollln had never been accustomed to sleep In the house, but to-night his raster turned out the lights anil left him there. His mistress had looked sadly down at him; and then she had turned her head quickly away and gone upstairs. He did not move out from behind the stow, but lay there In Ihe same position, starlnf; wide-eyed Into tin- dark iiosh abend. Revmal limes his eyes closed tu a troubled sleep, during which he tlreatnl Hint a man's hand wan thus! lug li:ie|f forever towiinlM him; be would hacl( panic stricken away from It hut seemed powerhms to escape. Finally the hand, overtaking him, would force Itself between his teeth, and h" would awake trembling. It was always the same, never different In any detail. His master and mistress rose early the next morning. It was scarcely daylight when they first came down Btalrs. But, early as it was, they had not been in the kitchen many minutes before a strange step sounded on the back stairs. True to an instinct as old as himself, the dog growled slightly, but he moved only enough to get a clear view of the door. When his master opened It he, Rollln, taw standing there a man In uniform, a man holding something in his hand which he had never seen before, a long Iron Implement, one end of which rested upon tho floor. The master called Rollln over to him and fastened the end of a chain to his collar. The other end he handed to the man In uniform. His mistress, who was crying now, bent down and pressed her head against his, and when after a moment she straightened ed up, (ho master bent down and fondled tho dog's ears. He tried lo speak once, too, but Rollln could not catch the meaning In those words, for the voice broke and died away In a muttered nothing, Then the master nodded to the man, who went out through the door. "Oo on, Boy," said the former, pointing, and the dog obeyed the pull on the other end or the chain. They descended the steps and passed off down the lane. Once Rollin stopped and turned around to look sorrowfully back at the house, but the man jerked the chain and he trotted obediently on again. It was early morning and the streets were cold and deserted. All the window blinds were drawn, and the houses, facing upon the road, lookod as if they were sleeping like their Inmates. Once a dog with whom Rollln used to romp In happier days ran out to greet him; but the latter did not even look at him. How could this friend of his own kind hold any place In a heart which was already overflowing with thoughts of a master, a mistress, and two children left behind? Left forever behind, he felt somehow. After a while they passed out of the streets and Into a field wtth a barn at the far end. Rol'tn knew the place well. He had played there many a time with the two children and three or four others from the same neighborhood. He used to chase the sticks one of the boys would throw for him, and when they were playing at something else he would dig Into the ground with his foro paws, and bark, and bury his nose In the cool damp earth. But he had bitten a man, and that was all over now. They reached the burn, and the man picked up a shovel which was leaning against one of the walls, Then ho led Rollin out into the middle of the field aud tied the end of the chain to a stake which had been driven Into the ground upon some previous occasion. Ho laid the Bhovel on the ground, walked back about thirty feet, and placed thnt strange looking object to his shoulder. A small boy with a paper bag came up unnoticed and stood watching a few feet away. To Rollln there was something terrifying about this man standing there pointing (hat strange thing at him. It gave him the same trembling feeling as had the dream he had dreamt last night, it would not do to howl; ho looked away. Just to his right a few feet off, he could see a small hole \n the ground which he had dug with his paws a few days before. He hud not dug It alone for one of his children, die little boy, hail sat there !>"• side hill' helping. He wished the little fellow was then- now; they could dig It deeper,- -but no, he Rollin, wouldn't be able to dig any more now, for there had been a loud report, and the sky and the field had grown dark,—and the earth was sinking under him,— and hla knees were too weak to hold up his body, and—and—- The small boy with the paper bag stepped forward and looked admiringly up at the officer: "You're -you're a good shot, ain't you?" Clifford H. Dowllng. IN DEFENSE OF OLD AND DIRTY CORDS In his welcoming address to the new students Friday morning In tho Greek Theatre President W. W. Campbell casually mentioned his delight In seolng that many of the numerous pairs of cords hod been cleaned or washed In the vacation Interim. Hut wns It a fact that called tor rejoicing? According to those who know, a clean pair of cords Is a terrible tragedy. It always signifies that thr woaror has been overcome by outside forces, probably his parents or friends, and has been compelled to submit to the humiliation of hnvlng them cleaned. And n clean pair of cords Is almost as bad as a new pair. All the richness and mellowness of an oil painting Is taken away from lhem. All the fragrance that time htiM Imparted to them Is Immediately whiffed away All the studied carelessness and slopplness vanish, These things are common knowledge to lliote who have worn cords. Old and dirty cords belong to that delightful category Which lists old wine, and old friends, nnd old books, and old pipes. — (Calltornlan.) H What the CONSERVATIVE PARTY Offers You! The Conservative Party submits to the voters of Canada a Protective Tariff policy at the most feasible method by which to speed up industry and solve our economic problems. Canada's wages are established in the United States, in part by international Labor Unions and in part by the old institution of supply and demand. If wages are lower in Canada than in the United States, Canadians go to the United States to get higher wages, and Canada loses her population. Thus, the United States fixes our basis of cost. If we do pay the United States rate of wages, we can not produce our goods low enough to compete with European goods produced under much lower wage scales and sold at depreciated currencies. Failure if we do, failure if we don't. The result is that every farmer, every workman, every business man, every person contributing directly or indirectly to production in Canada, is working under a handicap that discounts his or her efforts. The United States can pay high wages because they arc protected by a tariff wall, and have thereby achieved mass production. They impose a high tariff because they realize the necessity of doing so. That their policy is right is evidenced in ihe fact that under a high tariff the population of the United States has increased from Ten Millions to One Hundred and Ten Millions, and given them a cash profit of $339,000,000,000. The United States tariff against Canada averages 60% that which we hold against them is but 20#, This discrepancy not only bars our products from their markets, while they are privileged to come into Canada and sell in competition with our own workmen, but it is also costing us over $200,000,000 annually. It would therefore appear necessary for us, unless we are so fortified that we can ignore natural and economic laws, that we raise our tariff to a similar level as theirs. It is the only way in which Canada will be given a fighting chance. If You're For Canada*-- Vote Conservative! THE UBYSSEY rp October 2 1st, 1925 MEMO I eO> Dance Programmes A Tickets V Frat.

MEETING Judging by the large and enthusiastic gathering of students In Room A 206 Inst Wednesday noon, considerable progress will be made by the Students' Christian Movement at the University this year. Mr. Chas. Gibbard outlined the alms of the movement, showing the new members tht significance of the program which will be followed throughout the coming year. A comprehensive report on the activities of last summer's conference camp at Klginhouse, Ont., was submitted by Miss Gordon whose enthusiasm for S. C. M. work Is at all times so apparent. The speaker brought home to thoBe present the necessity of earnest thought and consideration of the many problems which will confront the student study groups. "Co-operative effort," it was urged, "Is absolutely essential if results are to be obtained!" The election ot officers resulted as follows: Hon, Pres., Or, Boggs; Pres,, Mr. Chas. Gibbard; First Vlce-Pres., Miss C. McQuarrle; Second Vlce- Pres., Mr. R. Stodman; Secretary, Miss A. Moffat; Treasurer, Mr. Ful- lerton; Publicity, Mr. Morton; Busi- ness Convenor; Miss Mildred Campbell. A PEDOMETER MIGHT HBLP The visions of bicycles and mechanical skooters, for purposes of traveling campus miles, In which the undergraduate Indulges from time to time, would be, perhaps, not so beneficial It they materialised. Dr. George Kanouse ot Newark, .New Jersey, declares that the average person leading a sedentary life should walk three miles a day. He says that "it will prolong life, if regularly indulged in. It is the simplest and most feasible form of exercise." There Is undoubted opportunity for the student to cover the prescribed three miles. Aa a matter of fact, the probable explanation of our general robustness le the lact that we do It already. —(Callfornlan.) WOMEN'S SWIMMING CLUB There was much merriment lust Wednesday evening when the nicin- hern of the Women's Swimming C'luli met for the llrst practice of the season, and disported themselves In the cool depths of Chalmer's Church tank. Some good swimming was seen and great opportunity for improvement will be afforded beginners under an able coach. Although two days were specified for procuring membership tickets, all those who have not Joined may still do so by applying to Prances Gig- nae, president ot the club. Membera are sure of a season of enjoyment, and are asked to buy their tickets now in order not to miss the next practice.

"This," he Bald, 'has been and Is the aim, If not the practice, of Anglo-Saxon thought." He counselled the people to hold their Institutions in reverence. "A warrior that cannot look with reverence upon his sword Is on tho way to decay: the civilisation that don not regard Its institutions, both political and educational, with roverence is on its way to decay." To maintain the proper balance ot the state we must respect both the Institution and the Individuals. Communism and anarchy are not the remedies for existing ills. "Man has many parts," he said, "the mind Is only one." Not only must we obtain knowledge, but also a sense of honor, an upright character and a thirst for truth. "Democracy has nothing to fear from truth." Hon. W. C. Nichol also emphasised the need of character development in addition to mental development. "Character, and not education, is fundamental. The human character is the one nnd only Imperishable thing In the world." He paid a tribute to the teachers and professors of the Province, whose example and hard work have done much to make the graduates ot the University of British Columbia what they are. Dr. MacLean, in his speech, went Into some detail regarding the sources of revenue ot the University. In this enlightened age when higher education 1b meant tor everyone, the universities are depending less on the beneficence of private individuals and more on the support of the state. "The University of British Columbia," he said, "receives from the Provincial Government about eighty per cent, of its total revonue. This amounts to some $460,000 annually for current expenses." The capital expenditure at the point has amounted to some $3,000,000 which means a further expenditure of $283,000 annually for the retiring tund. Thus the University is costing the Province in the neighborhood of three-quarters of a million each yoar. But it is worth it. CONVOCATION On Friday evening the University of British Columbia for the first time in Us history, entered Into the fulest exercise of its scholastic powers, when It conferred seven honorary degrees of Doctor of Laws (Honoris Causls) to seven of the most prominent men in the public eye today. President L. S. Kllnck, M.8.A., D.Sc, LL.D., opened proceedings with a few remarks on the Importance of the occasion, outlining the history of the degree and of the University, and conveying to the gathering just what the ceremony implied as far as the University of H. C. was concerned. The first candidate for an honorary degree to be Introduced by Or. Kllnck was the Hon. Walter ('. Nichol, Lieutenant-Governor of B. C, and Visitor o the University. The second degree was conferred on Hon J. D. McLean, Minister of Finance and Education in the I). C. Cabinet. Sir Arthur Currle, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., LL.D., Principal of MoGtll University, late Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian forces in France, then added the University of B. C. to the long list of places which have honored themselves and him by conferring titles and honors upon him. President Henry Suzzallo, of Washington University, was then presented by Dr. Kllnck as a man lo whom this University and the cause of knowledge generally, owed much. The fifth degree was conferred on Dr. olin Stanley Plaskett, Canada's greatest astronomer, and the discoverer of the stellar system which bears his name, the famous Plaskett Twins, the hottest entitles known to man. The Ixth of the seven degrees was presented to Dr. Henry Young, who piloted the University through Its early Hinges aud who has ever since worked hard for the Institution. When President. Kllnck requested Chancellor McKechnie lo leave the platform that he might present him villi the seventh degree, the audience responded by giving Dr. McKechnie an ovation which IsjQtod well over five minutes. Dr. Kllnck explained that he, as President of the University, had the power, In the absence of the Chan- "ellor, of conferring honorary degrees 'Intself. He Mild that he was exercising ibis power, once, for once only, and only for this once. Hlr Arthur Currle gave the Con gregailon address, His theme was "the true uitn of education" which was, he said, to build chaiacter, to turn out good members of society, to make for national unity, and to act as an antidote to the detrimental effects DR. HENRY YOUNG upon democracy of the wild imaginings of the ignorant. "The University of B. C," concluded Sir Arthur, "is fortunate in not being too firmly bound by tradition." The disturbances which are rife in Canada to-day, according to Sir Arthur, are signals for hope, not for tear, it was the duty of the universities to turn this disturbance and unrest into the right channels and develop a truly Canadian spirit. Messages of congratulation were read from Premier King, and from the Universities of Pennsylvania, Iowa, California and Harvard. -*•• Saints Defeated In Feature Contest (Continued from Page 1) '.ad the whole Province to pick their players from and even brought a new man in from Alberta in Saturday's game, and the fact that U.B.C. with its limited playing material and lack of training facilities can hand them a three one defeat so early In the season Is sufficient grounds for congratulation. It la to be hoped that more students will come out to the games In future. This team Is worthy of support, they are fighting against odds: against teams who have more training facilities, more playing material, more financial and moral backing, older and more experienced players. The only thing that pulls the Varsity through la their fighting spirit and the support given by the students to their team plays a big part In keeping up his old-time Varsity pep.

HEAD OFFICE VANCOUVRRj, B.C. 103 1 i/a/afflararafiBia/^raf^^ October 21st, 1925 THE UBYSSEY Full Program of DebatesArranged Imperial Contest Promises to be Great Event. This year the prospects for a successful debating season are perhaps brighter than ever before. The Imperial Debate should be an even greater event than the Oxford Debate ot last year, and If suitable arrangements can be made, it should be a considerable financial asset as well. Arrangements for a debate with Southern California are not yet completed, but it will probably be a dual debate, and will be held, It possible, in the fall term. U. B. C. was fortunate, also, in receiving an offer to compete in the Prairie Debating Lea- Be. This will be a dual debate, too, d will likely be an annual event. Other contests planned are: two Freshman-Sophomore debates with Victoria College, and a women's dual debate with Puget Sound. The Victoria College debates are being arranged by the Men's and Women's Literary Societies. It will be seen from this program that the number of debates with Canadian and American Universities is practically the same. Offers for debates have also been received from the University of Ore- Con and the University of Redlands, ut unless other plans fail, it is improbable that U. B. 0. will be able to accept them. The approximate dates of the proposed debates are as follows: 1. Southern California, Nov. 20th. 2. Victoria College (Men's), not yet decided, 8. Victoria College (Women's), not yet decided. 4. Prairie Debating League, Feb. 20th. 5. College of Puget Sound, Jan. 80th. 6. Imperial Debate, March 6th-10th. STUDENT AND ALUMNI NIGHT (Continued from Page 1) act, the curtain opened on a Freshman in purgatory, with a wheel-bar- row, searching in vain, of course, for Arts '28. Adolescent youth and senile decay featured in the next skit with reminiscences of Ye Olde Days of Arts '29, and the Initiation at the hands ot Tommy Taylor and Johnny Oliver. Mr. Ken Stewart played the old man while Mr. Madeley's 37Mt-in. corduroys played the other part. After this Rita Rlpstein rendered "Sandman," and was encored twice and favored the audience with another selection. A Freshman orchestra composed of Mr. F. Oorden, Mr. A Stevenson and Mr. C. Thorpe acted as accompanists. At the end or this, the Freshie with the wheel-barrow appeared on the scene again, wheeling a box containing a very green looking little boy In swaddling clothes, known as Masher Gold, the baby of Arts '29. After the curtain had been rung- down on this act, Tommy Taylor ap- yeared on the platform and Id a few words called upon the chairman of the evening, Mr. Art Lord, first A.M.S. President and Mr. B. Richards, A.M.S., President during the big campaign to come to the platform. Mr. Lord's speech consisted of a chorus entitled, "Kltsllano, Capllano," that yell, known to all, of which Art himself Is the author. Then Ab. Richards spoke a few words expressing his pleasure In having been able to take even as small a part as he had taken In getting the new University at Point Orey. He paid special tribute to Jack Grant's -efforts In the accomplishment of this. The next act was put on by the Old Timers and was entitled, "We are Seven," taken from the poem of that name by William Wordsworth. In this, the leading lady, Miss Elolse Angel!, Impressed the audlencn Immensely, and by her one and only utterance, "Hall, hall, the gang's all here," caused a flood of tears among the listeners. After this Allle Maxwell led the singing for a whole longer and tried vainly to sit on Frankle Potter while the Old Boys were getting ready for their performance. "One Half of a Midsummer Night's rirflam," written especially for thin occasion hy one William Shakespeare. The scenes portrayed were those centering around Pyramus and Thlsbe. Of the actors, tho man with the "beaver," Snout the tinker, performed the best. With lisping This- he's prolonged adieu, the programme ended and the rush began. The new auditorium showed up well In Its first real test. There was plenty of room for all present and the stage lighting was brought Into play several times with great effect. This helped a great deal to make the programme what It really was, a genera) success. •(••a-.- Class and Club Notes ARTS '28 On Monday noon, October 12th, Arto '28, held a meeting to elect their executive for the coming year. It was regrettable that most of the candidates were allowed to take office by acclamation, four positions only being contested. Mr. Leslie Brown was elected president for the year, and after making a fow well-chosen remarks and moving a vote of thanks to Mr. Bebb, tho ex-president, took over his office. The personel of the executive is as follows: President, Leslie Brown; Vice-President, Miss Kathleen Baird; Secretary, Miss Margaret Craig; Treasurer, Mr. W. Masterson; Women's Athletic Representative, Miss Lll- looet Green; Men's Athletic Representative, Mr. Howard Katon; Women's Literary Representative, Miss Jean Tolmie; Men's Literary Representative, Mr. William Brown; Class Reporter, G.

ENGINEERING DISCUSSION CLUB The Engineering Discussion Club held Its first meeting this neason in Ap. 202, on Wednesday, October 14th, when President Pollock outlined the object of the elub to the new members, and presented his policy for the coming year. On Wednesday, October 21st, at noon, in Ap. 202, Mr. H. Warren will speak on "The Coal Deposits in Alberta," and a good turnout is expected. Although a Science club, Arts men are welcome to attend. CHEMISTRY SOCIETY Dr. Archibald gave an interesting address at a meeting of the Chemistry Society on Wednesday afternoon. The subject of the talk was, "Michael Faraday," the world-famous chemist and physicist. Dr. Archibald considered briefly several phases of the scientist's lite and work, such as his limited education, his experiments in the field of chemistry and his research In the photographic and coal- tar Industries, A short business meeting followed the address. ARTS '27 The Arts '27 class hike Is this Saturday, the 21th, to Capllano. All members Intending to go should give their names to any member of the executive. MUSICAL SOCIETY .

All students interested are urged to attend the tryouts, and watch the notice boards closely, as the lists of successful candidates will soon be postetl, nnd probably a rehearsal held on Friday. A. M. U. S. A general meeting of the Arts Men's Undergraduate Society will be held at noon today In Room Arts 100. Freshmen are particularly requested to attend and take part In the songs and yell practice. Come and bring your handbooks. CANADIAN RUGBY A meeting of the Canadian Rugby Club was held Tuesday noon, In Ap. 108. Dr. Burke, the new coach, spoke of the coming game with the University of Washington, but stressed the need for more men. Harry Seed pointed out the need for a student manager, and, upon his recommendation, Frank Adams was elected. Hours for practice were fixed at every morning at 7.30 and every afternoon at 3.16 In the playing field; with a chalk talk every noon In A 108. Many more men are needed; the only qualification Is willingness. If Varsity In to make any showing at all agtMnst University of Washington she mutt have men! TRACK CLUB The Track Club held a meeting on Wednesday noon In Ap. 100 to elect officers for two vacancies and discuss the program for tho season, The present executive consists of: Hon. President, Prof. Bovlng; President, C. Mottley; Vice-President, J. Currle; Sec.-Treasurer, F. Klllott. It was decided to hold the Arts '20 Relay and Track Meet in the spring. The president suggested that a Frosh and Soph relay be held early In the second term to bring out new material. | Correspondence j Editor The Ubyssey. Sir:— I wish to protest against the unfair and unsportsmanlike attitude adopted In your editorial on American Rugby In the Ubyssey of Oct. 18th. In tt, instead of giving a much needed boost to what you yourself admit Is the coming game, you do your best to nullify the efforts ot those public spirited members of the University who are endeavoring to give It tho advantage of Intercollegiate sport. It may be that Borne prefer the English game, but is that sufficient reason for not giving tho American game a fair chance? There is ample room for both. One deplores narrow-mindedness in everyday affairs; is It not every bit as deplorable In sport? The American Rugby players who are giving their time and their best efforts to foster Inter-collegiate sport have need of all the encouragement that can be given them. Some of the statements In your editorial are Incorrect or give a wrong idea. While we may be one-sixth tho size of the average American college, the team which beat us so decisively on Saturday came from a college of 300 students—not as big as our freshmen class. We must, and will do bet- ter next time but we need the wholehearted support of the students and faculty to do It. American Rugby will attract public attention to the University. Many people, in no way connected with the University have told me that they were unable to go lo Saturday's game but that they followed It In the papers and would go to the next one. American Rugby will boost the Uni* verslty, the University ought to boost American Rugby, Yours sincerely R. M. Williams. Editor's Note—The editorial discussed did not give Incorrect information regarding the college in question. The insignificant size of the institution was another argument in favor of the stand taken. Try-outs Announced for Victoria Debate The first big Item on the program of the Men's Literary Society has been officially announced. This consists of a debate with Victoria College, and will be held during the sceond week In November. There will be two teams debating simultaneously In Victoria and Vancouver. Both the U.B.C. home team and Its visiting team will consist of Freshmen and Sophomores only. There will be two men on each tealn. Only members of the Men's Literary Society are qualified to hold places on these teams. Those who wish to try out for places should hand their names either to Messrs. J. Bridge, E. Dunn, K. Morrison, S. Kobe or N. Brown. Members who have previously debated for the University In Inter-colleglnte contests are Ineligible. This debate will no' disqualify the participants from engaging In other intercollegiate debates during ttye year, but on the contrary, will serve as a point in their favor. SCIENCE '28 A class meetinG was held by Science '28 for the purpose of filling the vacant offices of president and vice-president. Stew Terhune was elected to the office of president and Hal Gwyther to the office of vice-president. WOMEN'S UNOERQRAD. The meeting of the Women's Undergraduate Society, which was to have been held on Tuesday, October rowlSth, has been postponed until today, Wednesday, October 21st. It Is expected that all the women will attend, as Important business Is to be discussed. WOMEN'S LIT. All members of the Woman's Literary Society must come to the meeting today in Room 100 at .'1:15. The list of members Is posted on the notice hoard In the Arts Building, Visitors are also Invited. WOMEN'S GRASS HOCKEY The Women's Onus Hockey Club has as yet had no meetings, since It has been handicapped by having no hockey sticks. However, these art- being procured immediately, and students aro asked to watch the notice hoards lor announcements of meetings. There are many girls interested In this popular form of athletics, and It is hoped that the club will prosper exceedingly this year. R. P. McLENNAN The Man and His Accomplishments Born of sturdy Scotch stock in the town of Pictou, Nova Scotia, R. P. McLennan early listened to the lure of the West, arriving in Winnipeg in 1862. Spending two years there, he came to the Pacific Coast, and arrived in Victoria in 1884. With the indomitable courage so pronounced in those early pioneers, he and Mr. E.J. McFeely formed the firm now known as McLENNAN, McFEELY & CO., LTD., opening in Vancouver in 1886. This firm gives employment to over 200 persons and is one of the largest commercial houses in Western Canada. In 1898 the firm decided to open a branch in Dawson City, and Mr. McLennan went north to take charge of the same. So respected was he by the citizens of the community that in 1903 he was chosen as the mayor, and served his term with dignity and ability. He is a past president of the Board of Trade, a Vice-President of the Exhibition Association, and a Governor of the University of British Columbia. For many years he has made his home in Burrard constituency. Always a patriot and a lover of the Union Jack, during the war he gave his four stalwart sons to the Empire, the youngjg of whom paid the supreme sacrifice. nattf < F id vis The faith and "vision which characterized his pioneer efforts have not abated one whit. He has a pride in the city's past, a courageous hope in its great future, and, because of these, he feels it is in the best interests of business that he offers his services to the House of Commons, at Ottawa, where he can work for Vancouver and British Columbia.

MORE HINTS FOR UTJgJGJ A Criticism 'ot "My Girl'a a Hulabaloo" > The: literary -editor, has .warned me that, after my memorable article of lust Issue, 1 must write Another lest my public forget me, I have, therefore, prepared a critical survey of a well-known college song "with the Intention of assisting conscientious students to a fuller understanding ot Its beauties and associations. My aim In this work has been for accuracy rather than elegance, though tho latter quality Is, of course, characteristic ot all my published works, This is, In the first place, a love song of remarkably tender feeling, Of the character of the undergraduate's sweetheart, It Is sufficient to say that she Is a youthful and lively com Snion (vide Infra). Her raiment is variably adorned with facings of heraldic or and asure, hy which the varletry of the times might know that she was attending a certain university in company wtth divers others. Tho statement Is further made that when on a walk or ramble, she was wont to beguile the undergraduate with fair speeches and merry raillery, to which he responded with suitable earesset. At all my readers are familiar wtth the text, notes on the same follow without further quotation therefrom. 1. Hullabaloo—Editors disagree between "hulabaloo," and "hullaballoo." Careful reading of the evidence makes "hullabaloo" the most prob able. The origin ot the word is ob scure; formerly it meant "riot," or "panic," from which the transition to "girl," indicating pride in her qual lties, is fairly direct. 2. Varsity—A corruption of "uni verslty." Prof. Drudger suggests this torni was used to preservo the met rieal rhythm. It might be pointed out, however, that students at this time were much given to abbrevla tion: aa Lab., Pub., Lit., Chem., etc. 8. Walking—In the first quarter of the twentieth century this was a common form of exercise. According to Poppelvltch, it was usually accomplished by placing one pedal extremity In front of the other, the action being sustained by the striding ot mutual feet. Snlckelfrlts disagrees. 4. Talking—We may accept this as correct. J. Shadrow McHooey observes that in women, Broca's convolution, governing the motor reactions of speech has greater development than In men. It would, therefore, as M. Camillard trenchantly remarks, be reasonable to expect the woman In question to do the talking. 5. Squeezing—This curious custom was observed In these times, by the encircling ot the feminine torso with the male brachial appendage, right or left being used Indiscriminately or at will. Prof. Jones claims to have found cases on record where both were used simultaneously; Elinor Olyn agrees. There Is little Justification for the claim that "squeezing" is used as a bitter comment on the congested condition of the original University buildings. Holder—An early commentator reatls "colder"; in a masterly essay Hogswitinpf points out that in the circumstances described In the song, this state of Increasing emotional (rigidity Is psychologically Indefensible. The comparative "bolder" Is used because In those times, it was popularly considered that there were degrees of boldness In wometi. Any freshman who has read the foregoing will be, surely, imbued with a more profound respect tor a song which, on the surface, appears almost trtvtal. He will realize that the study of poesy Is one that will require all his attention if he would derive from It the buried treasures of knowledge and philosophy contained therein. If editors are still as they have always been, another article in this same vein, may appear. It Is my purpose to assist the literary tyro until, by my example, he may stand with me on Olympian heights. ThsjH|od(irn college reminds one very ^Bh of a sawmill.

What was I to do? Between me and the welcome lights of home lay the camp of El Big Bum, the Arab chieftain. Within my shirt lay the J tapers. Live or die, survive or perish, n this world or the next, I must get them to Sir Tom A. Toekatchup, the British commander. But how? That was the question. Ohtpttr 2 The scene has shifted to the cabin of Sapp Hed, the hermit, Sitting beside him Is Phat Hed, is daughter. She is very fair and beautiful, and chews Wrlgley's gum. There Is a knock at the door. Sho opens it, and I stagger in. "Phattle, my darting," I gasp, "here are the papers. I can no further go. Get them to Sir Tom A. Toekatchup, or my career Is ruined." "Nay, I wlil not fail you. Bah Keep," she calls, summoning her servant, "take these papers to Sir Tom A. Toekatchup." Chapter 3 Again the cabin of Sapp Hed. I am striding up and down the carpet (the gift of the Turkish Bathrug Corporation) worrying, worrying, and worrying. Every now and then 1 stop, to bend over and kiss Phat Hed, who Is sitting In a rocking chair (the gift of President Cooltdge, who had visited Sapp Hed the year before). Suddenly there is a knocking at the door. Chapter 4 The door is thrown open and in comes a man in uniform. He Is a British sergeant-major. "Are you A. Mugg, Arts '29?" "Yes," said I. "Then come with me, you have saved the Empire, your country must reward you." Chapter 6 The scene is Westminster Abbey, or some place like that. With firm, even footsteps I stride to the foot of the throne where I kneel. And then I hear my sovereign's voice: "A Mugg, in recognition of your valuable services, I dub thee Sir Holeproof, of Hosiery House. Rise up, Sir Hole- >roof. Chapter 0 Night. Dark Night. Very Dark Night. Only me and sweet Little ^hat Hed together. But the rest of this story Is none of your business. (The End.) Some Students Have Tea With Trimming* CAFETERIA FEATURES JAZZ TEAS AGAIN The Thursday afternoon Jazz Teas to which hundreds ot students crowded last year will be featured again this session by the Union Cafeteria, It was announced last night. Arrangements are being completed whereby the excellent music which fascinated students last year will entertain for the Jazz Tea once more. The staff under .Mr. Honneger has b^on augmented and no pains are being sparde by the management to make these weekly entertainments one of the bright spots In student life. — McGILL DAILY. OUR OEBATINQ UNION In this issue of the Manltoban appears an interview with David A. Mac- Lennan, president of the University of Manitoba Debating Union, in which Is outlined the extensive programme that Is being offered to the students by the executive of the Union this year. It Is a pleasing duty for the Manltoban to be able to urge the students to take advantage of the remarkable opportunities offered by this student organization. Canada today Is looking tor good, capable men and women. Men and women who tomorrow will continue the work of building up our great Dominion and who will be worthy of the public trust. From organizations such as our Debating Union come students who have gained an early insight into affairs of national anil worldly Importance. They have made It a duty to study political, social and economic conditions us they are today; they have regarded them from all angles and are better prepared to face the conditions that may wise tomorrow. In this way, the Debating Union Is helping to solve a problem that Is receiving the conillNerntlon of the thinking people of Canada; It Is helping to develop statesmen, tho great need of our country today. With such art aim In view It cannot help hut make an appeal to all University students, and strike them us bolng worthy of their support. -MAX I TO HAN. Cheer up!

After Ibsen (A Long Way Afttr) The moon shone down upon the grassy campus of the University of British Columbia. The ancient buildings stood revealed In ghostly whiteness. Silence, silence everywhere. The whistle struck midnight, the hour of fate and mystery, The lone student by the Arts building shivered. He had come hlthor to muse In quiet contemplation over the beauties of Elizabethan literature and to gather inspiration for a sweet, sad poem to submit to the "Buzzer." An the last solemn note died away into the stilly night, he trembled with an indescribale fear, like a freshman going to an initiation. What was that? A faint sound reached his ears. He gased wildly around. Nothing but silence. His affrighted eyes were drawn to the Auditorium. What things were those that moved so noiselessly? He crept toward them. Gleams of phospores- cent white appeared and re-appeared. Gradually they took shape. They had the form of animals, but the outlines of the buildings could be seen through their misty sides! The things turned toward him, and their eyes gleamed green as they fixed on him a reproachful gaze. Then a wave of guilty horror surged over him, and he fled screaming. He had discovered the truth. They were the ghosts of murdered dogs haunting the site ot the hot canine standi What Auto Be Done At U.B.C. A middle western college has added to its list of regulations the decree that no student regularly enrolled shall have the use of an automobile while coming to or fro nilts campus, or while upon the college grounds. It is extremely unlikely that such an order would be made at. California, where so many persons using machines do so mainly for the purpose of convenient transportation to the University and hack to their honien, and not primarily for pleasure. Hut that such an order might be desirable to the point of being necessary would be readily acceded to by members of the department of the Berkeley police force. —CALIPORN1AN.

''Little pot, toon hot." Keep your temper. We don't need it. A toft head swells easiest. You may be good-looking, but don't tell anybody, Let it come as a glad surprise. A pumpkin-head is more conspicuous than a bank president. Good men have been thinking about things a long time, You are now going to start. Ileware of easy solutions, Don't talk until you have done more than a little thinking. You will have leas to be sorry for afterwards. if you are worthy, you will get a job. Don't be an ofhee-seekor, Don't be a fool, with or without the adjective. Try to look like a gentleman and act like one. This college is judged by tho appearance of its students. Don't play tennis in your waist-coat or braces. Avoid celluloid collars and do not get the back of your neck shaved. Thank you. Take a good look at your trousers. They will probably be like that all their lives, poor beggars. Enthusiasm is the next best thing to brains. Some have both. Class spirit cannot be made by the executive alone, Throw in a handful of raisins and yeast yourself. If you play games, or want to, try out for the teams. If you don't, don't boast about It. We are all tempted to be lacy. Don't imitate the rest of ua by giving In. Some men come to college to get, only. You get just about what you give. Most people can pass exams. Mastering the subject Ib a different thing. It you must wear spats, which is doubtful, please dress up to them. Overheating Is unhealthful. Don't worry about it here, though. You may get the idea that you can get along without church. There aro many young fellows at college, who get that Idea. Take a look at them and change your mind. If you must go to the demnltion bow-wows, don't blame the college for It. You know better. Varsity has an honourable history. Get to know It. The future depends on you. How about It? It is unlucky to stand just at tho toot ot the stairs. You may have been quite a lion at your old high school, or your local Y. M. C. A. or Sunday School. Wo are glad If you were. But you are In a bigger zoo now, so don't bo surprised If the crowd does not gather around your cage for a while yet. This advice Is free. That Is the best part of it. Don't study on the Sabbath. You don't really need to and It Isn't clever. Membership in the Suicide and Donkey Clubs Is worth considerably less than It costs. The various student organizations are for you; hop to It.

CAPITOL THEATRE CHARLEY CHAPLIN'S reappearance on the Screen after an absence of two years la apparently relished by the Amusement going public of Vancouver, so much so, that In order to accomodate the thousands who were turned away last week the Management of the Capitol Theatre have decided to hold CHARLEY'S picture "THE OOLD RUSH" for a second week, commencing October 19th. "THE) OOLD RUSH" takes you back to the days of '98, and shows with humor and pathos CHARLEY'S experiences as a prospector in that now well known North country. Vancouver itself was closely associated with those gold rush days, and, contained In a very excellent prologue, are pictures of the City during the boom days of '98, which are well worth seeing, and will be of interest to the younger element of present Vancouver. All you have to do Is picture CHARLEY'S funny hat, cane, and feet, In the snow and billiards of the North, and these combined with an excellent cast and story, round oat the best CHAPLIN picture ever made. Rowing Club to Have New Course At the meeting of the Rowing Club last Wednosday It was established he yotid a doubt that Varsity's 'crew would he a strong competitor In the meet at Seattle next March, Some very promising new material was on hand as well as a strong nucleus of lust yeur'H rowers. Dr. Letson, honorary president of the club, addressed the meeting, stressing the fact that In this University rowing was destined to be one of tho most outstanding sports, and that with the splendid new course, and the active, growing membership there was every indication that the crews from this University would equal any crew on the continent.

At the beginning Sparks dribbled over and Brock converted, but Wanderers evened up later when Thornton, after following Roughton's kick, scored a try. This was converted by Curio. U.B.C. took the load again when Taylor ran half thf length of tho field and another convert by Brock followed. Only after a hard Kttle in the seeond period were the Wanderers able to gain the victory. In the Varsity-Ex-King George game, Varsity opened up with a couple of tries. The old High School men showed some fine work In passing and fought hard for their victory. The half time count was 8-6. Casselman, McLean, Eaton and Farrlsh did some excellent playing for the Varsity team. White and Farrlsh each scored tries, but Ex-King Oeorge equalised their tries, one being converted by Choate. In the second half Kelly converted a free kick and also a try made by Ron. McKay. This Is the third consecutive win for the ancient Ex-Highs, placing them at the head of the league. But Varsity is still doing some good work, and is expected to make a good showing before the finals. SECOND liOCCER MEN IN THIRD ROUND Varsity 2nd team stepped Into the limelight on Saturday at McBrlde Park by virtue of its 1-0 victory over Malkins', In the second preliminary of the Allan Cup Series. U.B.C. opened play with two close- in shots at the opposing goal. How ever, Malkins' soon found their, stride and came bee* with a rush to Vtfitrty area, but fumbled, and missed a glorious chance to test Sutherland. The wholesalers, being unable to elude the U. B. C. full-backs, tried several skyrocket shots, but in vain. "Flea" was In good form and saved brilliantly on many occasions. The one and only counter came in the second half when Oeorge Dynes drove the ball over a scrimmage ~4n the goalmouth and sent a ' perfect shot past Delcourt. From then on, Varsity men remained on the defensive and constantly broke the attacks of the oncomers. Gray, a freshman, and an aggressive outside right, uncapped a bag of tricks which kept "Malkln's Best" guessing from beginning to end. The whole Varsity eleven played a bang-up same and showed much Improvement over their "xhlbitlon of "ist wek. The line-up was as follows: D. Warden, Sutherland and Dynes; Robertson, Gibbard and Swanson; Splllsbury, T. Warden, Leek, Stevenson and Gray.
