THE DEVIL'S LAIR I
Aa far ns wo know, no precise cHsnyist or on raptured lyrist linn
ever pictured the Ideal, or even the fairly good common room. It is
Very dishearteninp; for us flint noliody has done ho, because to be
able to quote an authority, in for us the supreme end of editorials.
Juat why we cannot utilize any fine periods to assist our own com-
monplace is apparent—our themo ia one suited neither to epic poetry
tior to romantic, neither to comedy nor to tragedy. Hence, it comes
Within that vast way untrodden by the artist which is the domain
proper of sleep. Yet despite absence of authority, we propose boldly
to enquire into tbe nature of the hitherto unexamined subject, tbe
common room. We will do this first by describing the fairly Rood
common room, second by sketching our own common room.
In our opinion a common room should be a clean and perfectly
healthy room for nil students, a room in which order, not a, b, c order*
but decent order, rather than chaos exists, rather a rest room than a
playground. It should, too, be well-fitted out with cbnirs, not. stiff,
ligiy wooden images, but comfortable chairs. There should also bo
tables at which students, if they wish to, may study, with many
requisite appurtenances, such as giant ash trays. Discipline in the
common room should not mean silence; but boisterous horseplay
should not be deemed proper except nt special times—for example,
the noon hour, and whenever tho Ubyssey is distributed.
But contrasting what a common room should bo with the Arts
common room, the common room, which is most used, we are shocked
to find several serious discrepancies. The Arts common room is not
clean, it is decidedly dirty; not healthy, it is foully unhealthy, oven
lacking necessary disinfection and ventilation. It is a dusty, crowded,
noisy place where the senior fears for his gown and the freshman for
ins green tie. And tbe ugly chairs hurt your eyes even more than
they do your back; and the tables nre useless because there are none.
Of course, the University is a growing institution; of course the
buildings are semi-permanent; of course what a common room should
be is a matter of opinion.
"We believe, nevertheless, that most of the students prefer a clean
■Hack to a house of many windows; we believe also that they prefer a
healthy, well-ventilated room to nn intolerably disgusting place. We
further take leave to say that although of all rooms, the Arts lower
common room is totally lacking in plan, it might in nil its futility be
decently kept. We hope that, the gods being propitious, something
so elementary may soon be done that the common room will become a
respectable university concourse.

HOW ABOUT IT DOOLEY?
November 17, 1926
Editor Ubyssey.
Dear Sir
Allow us to take up some of your
valuable space to reply to a letter
which appeared in your last Issue
over tho name of one Dalton Allan,
president of the Swimming Club
To begin with, we should like to
thank Mr. Allan very heartily for his
consideration of tho Science men In
procuring evening swimming periods.
We feel mure (hat It was with special
regard to our convenience that these
periods were chosen, and wish hhn
lo know that his kindness does not
.0 unappreciated.
Hud It not been for bin Hlgnuture
nt the bottom of the letter, we Hhould
never have believed that Mr. Allan
would have written such a letter. A
Heiilor, and president of the swimming club Hhuulerlng and maligning
the Student Ilody in general and a
cIiihh in particular Is a thing un-
bcllevcttblo! And all because the
Swimming Club Is not receiving the
support he thinks It ahould! We
were under the Impression that
senior* were supposed to be examples to the lower years. Examples
of what? Wo wonder I
Now we "have a bone to pick"
with Mr. Allan. He Hays "Science 'i»0
have ilone a lot of roaring and shouting but Hhow me where they have
come out and done something for
their college." Righto! Did any
class turn out to the Freshman Initiation one whit better than did
Science '30? Did not we, with our
sweatshirts, snake-dunclng, "roaring
ami shouting" engender something
akin to tho so-called "college spirit?"
We ask you!
Despite the fact that our timetable Includes some thirty-five hours
of lectures and laboratories per week
about half of the class partakes in
some of the various student activities. Five ln our class play Rugby,
nnd four play soccer. Seven men
competed ln the Tennis Tournament.
Fifteen will turn out for track, and
eight for Ice hockey. Four men are
taking up rowing. The Swimming,
Canadian Rugby, Badminton, Grass
Hockey, and Outdoors' Club each
have a man from Science '30. This
leaves basketball the only sport ln
which our class Is not. represented.
In activities other than athletics we
are well represented. We have four
men In the Students' Parliament,
three In the Musical Society, nnd one
In the Thoth Club. There Is a member of our class on the executives of
each of these clubs, tho Swimming
Club, the Canadian Rugby Club, and
the Ice Hockey Club, and also on the
staff of the "Ubyssey." The University Yell Leader Is also a member of
our class.
This of course all goes to show
Ihat we have not "come out and done
something" for the college.
Mr. Allan next states that, our
class "presumably belonged" to Ails
"2!). At a recent class meeting It was
lound that only about one-half of our
the last of the Freshman regulations. At the tune ol their institution, i ,.|ass were Freshmen last vear. The
His usual box of Sapp Chocolates was
missing, and so what might have been s perfectly fine evsnlng was ruined.

DEBATES vs. ATHLETICS
When you talk about student support und athletic executives rave nnd
tear around for rooters for this game,
or Ihat tussle, did you ever stop to
think of the support we give our debaters.
Last Thursday night Murphy am'
Whlteley met Idaho In an Intercollegiate forensic duel. We etin'f sny we
saw ut the battle many of the rugby,
soccer, track or liny other of the sport
follow lag who cry bluer tears when
liny don't «el Ihe Kiuig around them

are playing the game? Those men arc

as any of our other activities und
moreover Ihey did not need a crowd
lo make them win.
Let's show them we nt least appreciate their efforts. A good debate will
do you a lot of good.

THE UBYSSET
HOW 1TSTARTED
Cain and Abel were getting scared.
They had been very wild and woolly
in the Undergraduato days, and at
laat their consciences were beginning
to trouble them.
Suddenly Abel had a bright Idea
and proceeded to act on it. He killed
4 lftnib trout his flock, and made a
biirnt ottering of mutton—as is done
by the Cafeteria to the present day.
As tbe smoke went straight up In
the air he gave a skyrocket and nine
rahs, and slapped himself on the baok
With flee,
Cain watched bis brother with Jealousy. At last he could stand It no
longer. Collecting a pile of apples,
bananas, farina and corn cobs, he set
It alight and watched the smoke.
This time it did not go up in the air,
bdt Cain did. As he realised the general smoke nuisance ho jumped up
and began expressing his feelings lu
uitra-Ulbllcal language.
"Gosh ding it, what can 1 do now?"
he snarled, pointing to his unsuccessful saorlflco.
"Bar It with flowers," suggested
Abel mildly, before Cain began mauling him.

EXHORTATION TO
MERRIMENT
Come let us sing a Jolly song—
A song of high-strung revelrie
And mingle with the crowd among
The boys and girls of U. B. C.
Come let us trip a twinkling toe
And merry pass the night away,
So choose your partners and let's go,
And happy be as flowers in May.
For once let study be forgot
And turn your thoughts to other
trends,
However sad may be your lot,
Cupids' dart wilt make amends.
Old time Is short and art ia long
And Science Is no sinecure-
Choose your partners from among
The pupils of King Terplschore.
Kick up your heels across the floor,
Abandon care with all Its throng,
The time may come—you might
deplore,
You hadn't danced whilst you were
young.
Oh the boys and girls of Ubyssey
Are flrst in fun and Jollity
And merry, merry may they be;
Our Tuum Est fraternltle.

"They Shall Not Pats"
An Anticipation of Four
Weeks Hence
The battlo is over, but whether unto
victory or down to defeat the gods of
war have not yet decreed. The conflict has beon shrewd and very costly.
Much precious ink has been spilled
as the contestants clashed in passionate espousal of their several causes.
Wit pitted against wit, the ingenious
devloe of professorial subtlety la
searching attempt to flunk the patient
neophyte. Now the enemy has done
hla worst.
Day arter day the strugglo has
drawn out its weary hours; front nine
till noon, when by mutual consent all
parties retire for refreshment, slnoe
the rules or battle must be observed.
From two till five the oombatanta
join again in strong and stern array.
Timid Freshmen, pallid from unwonted nocturnal vigil, vainly biding
their dread of the unknown behind •
feebly Jaunty air, but suddenly bold
in the face of danger and feverishly
ready at the aero hour.
"All Chemistry students attention I"
Freshettes a-flutter as with chirps
and squeaks they prepare tor the fray,
A high and haughty Senior, with the
mein of a suffering Socrates, saunters in, drooping his offensive Waterman between scornful lips, Not for
him the fever of anxiety, the bloodshot eye, the fear of horrid toe. This
is old stuff, and rather a bore than
otherwise. Plainly English honours,
and disillusioned at that. Taking bis
place In the front row and gailng rapt-
ly up at the electric light pendant ne
gives himself over to profound thought
and exquisite expression.
Sophs, with that deceptive semblance ot wisdom peculiar to tbe species, earnestly ape the nonchalance of
their betters, but alas! certain pale-
blue books dangling from Sophouorie
Angers, mark them down for whit
they are. Here and there the perfect
warrior, the Junior, lacking nothing
but the awful hauteur of the Senior
lends silent strength and dignity to
the whole student company.
Papers rustle, held In nerveless
hands; sighs of maidenly distress disturb the troubled air; pens poise and
scratch and poise again till Stark aid
strenuous silence falling, wraps the
field of labor in its breathless folds.
And so with flying pens ln frantlti
haste to fill the vacant page before
that cruel shatterer of all our peaee
shall halt the flow of mark-engendering phrase with rude command, the
minutes melt away.
"All two-hour papers" ruthlessly begins the professor, and a gasp of horror breaks from a hundred throats,
"Have only fifteen minutes more," finishes the voice of doom, and with a
nervous titter one hundred Freshies
re-compose themselves to write.
A weary scribbler, having finished
his little all, gathers together his scattered possessions, the baneful watch;
the coat torn off tn heat of battle; the
scored and blotted paper, precious
trophy proudly to be displayed to own
peculiar "crowd;" finally the books,
those only Instruments by which some
paltry credits can be pried from the
reluctant fingers of his all powerful
enemy.
DIscliarKliiK these futile weapons
'•i' hrliiRH the day's offensive to a
close. Laying them on the table he
swiftly walks away.
His little bolt Is shot, now he can
only rue the day that he was born,
and nibble mournfully at hla nails ln
repentance of the many hours he
spent In perfecting the Charleston,
while the studious few had urgently
wooed the Divinity of their cause In
the quiet concourse of the library.
Another, depositing his books In order, strides out, with much affectation of Indifference.
Yet otl'crs follow him till:
"Thick and fast they come at last,
And more, and more, and more—
All hopping down the centre aisle,
And striding out the door."
The Jostling crowd Is soon dispersed, but the examiner Is unmoved, he
si III stands, calm, unperturbed.
Certain longer-suffering souls
scratch on and on, Ink flows profusely while philosophers finish their dialectic, classicists Ket rid of a few more
Trojans or settle another of Plutarch's "Lives," sclentlBls dispose of
New Ion or Einstein hs their several
temperaments require, and tne haughty "KiikIIsIi houoms" puts a period to
his i'IosIiik peroration.
Time is up. "All papers In now,
please" murmurs ihe enemy. With
such soft speech does he cloak tills
tit e, for the Held Is his. lOvery con-
tislani withdrawn, as Ihe last atop
echoes down the empty corridor he
u'lithers up the pitiful products of
brainy sweat and takes himself and
books with him to tils lair.
Nothing more can be done but
wall.
The only reason a university man
doesn't wear a hat Is ao that he won't
have to take his hands out ot his
pocket every time he meets a woman
he knows. i pvjp*.

Standard of Letter
Award is Raised
The most important meeting of the
Men's Athletic Association this year
was held Wednesday noon In Ap. So.
100. The student body showed its
Intense interest in Important matters
by attending In a body large enough to
just make a quorum, which Is twenty
per cent, of the registration.
After the minutes ot the last meeting had beon adopted, the amendments
to the constitution were put before
the house. President Butler read tho
report of the committee, which went
over the letter award system during
the summer with a view to raising the
standard of Varsity letter awards.
One of the most important recommendations of the committee was that
a Committee on Big Block Awards be
formed, this to consist of the President
of the Association, chairman, one faculty representative, one alumni representative, and two undergraduate representatives, who have had some executive experience. This committee
Is to be chosen by the executive and
Is to have final accretion In the
awarding of Big Block Letters.
Besides this, the new amendment
calls for a general raising of the standard In all snorts, The qualifications
of a man who Is to receive a letter
are stricter under the new constitution than they have ever been before.
Froshmen are to be awarded by
class numerals; they will receive no
Varsity letters. These numerals will
signify ln after years, that the holder
made a University team while still a
Freshman. These numerals then have
more meaning than an ordinary letter
would. Furthermore, a Freshman who
makes a team In his first year, will
surely make it in later years, and so
receive his letter.
These amendments were discussed
at some length, but were Anally adopted as they stood by a unanimous vote
of the whole meeting.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Varsity "A" celebrated Its third
straight win on Wednesday night
when the team defeated the Vancouver
Y.W.C.A. at the Y by 18-10.
The Y played a close checking game
and, though Varsity worked well, they
found it impossible to break into their
usual open game. Consequently play
was rough and combination poor.
Score—Rene Harris 3, Torchy Bailey

Oay Swenciski 2,
MEN'S BASKETBALL
A daring little squad from Education
'27 tangled with a gang ot tough
Science men ln a snappy basketball
game Tuesday night. For the flrst few
minutes, fur flew thick and fast and
the air fairly reeked with sweat. .Nothing of importance happened. Eye-witnesses testify that Science won on
baskets scored, but the pedogaglcal
crew consider that the least of their
worries. Both teams enjoyed the fun
-and that's the main thing.
ROWING CLUB
The University Rowing Club had its
second work-out on Wednesday, Arrangements were completed with thu
Vancouver Club last week, and the
University is to have accommodation
nt the Club House until spring.
A full turn-out ot would-be rowers
cannot be handled this yoar as Varsity wished, for Varaity is not using
any of the Vancouver Club's equipment. It Is a great pity, for last year,
having full privileges, UB.C, had a

Intermediate and freshman 8, as well
as a tackwelght and senior four. Varsity would have rowed Washington had
It been able to train sooner.
The importance of rowing as a university sport cannot be too fully em-
fhasised. Situated on the sea, the
I.B.C. is essentially a rowing college.
There is everything in the way of
competition to foster It—the strong
Vancouver Club In the olty, just handy
to the south Is the U. ot Washington,
home of the famous "Huskies," and
then down the coast is the U. ot California, and city clubs of the North Pa-
clflo Association. In short, rowing at
U.B.C. is the slmpllest means towards
that so much desired inter-collegiate
sport.
The University ot Washington has
shown itself very anxious to foster
competition up here. Last year they
sent us an 8-oared shell. They are
quite willing, too, to offer the U.B.C.
suitable competition at any time.
This year is Varsity's opportunity
to send a crew south. U.B.C. has an
"8" to train in, and Washington expects Varsity to do something. Besides, the Interest taken in rowing last
year—some 60 men turned out—and
the turn-out at the first meeting this
year—some 40 men—and the list of
men—some 76—quite warrants the intention.

SPORTORIAL
Isn't It time that we quit "poor
aistering" soccer?
For some strange reason nearly any
activity ot this university can secure
somekind ot half-hearted support
save the soccer team and it doesn't
receive any support at all. Why is
It there la never a pep meeting for
the soccer team?
The Soccer team is the only true
major team of the University of
British Columbia. The English rugby
team plays a local and intercity
series, the Canadian Rugby team
plays an intercity series, and the soccer team plays an lnter-coastal city

HARRY WARREN IN
BRILLIANT FORM
Harry Warren the little track
speedster, whose feats on the cinder
paths lu the Northwest were heralded all over Canada, has attached fur-
other laurels to his long list of
triumphs,
Arriving at Oxford as British Columbia's representative for the Rhodes scholarship, Warren made a name
for himself In the Freshman and Varsity sports.
The Freshman meet brought together some of the fastest Amerloan,
Canadian, Ansae and British sprinters and Harry showed his heels to
all of them.
The most famous of the representatives were the two Americans dates
and Norton.
antes was the Rhodes scholar from
Princeton and a member of the former world record-breaking 440 yard
relay team. He Is a consistent 0 4-6
man. Norton, a famous hurdler and
sprinter and a Penn, State boy, was
another defeated candidate for sprint
honors.
Harry won the final In 10 2-5 sees.,
but he says the track was slow and
heavy with leaves and mud.
In the 440 yards Warren won his
trials In 52 seconds and got boxed
In the finals at S3 2-5 seconds to plaoe
second.
In the Varsity sports Harry won the
senior dash from Edmondson In
10 t-5 seconds, and was given great
praise by the London papers for his
showing.
series and meets some of the strongest
teams ln Canada.
Last year Cumberland of the Pacific
Coast league went as far as the
Dominion championship and played
four drawn games in the finals. When
Varsity faces Cumberland in the Pact do Coast League series a large proportion of citizens supports a university team. Ten chances to one
there Isn't a studont in the stands,
yet the admission charge to soccer Is
lower than any other game.
Stanford and California am taking
up soccer as an intercolleglat sport.
Washington plays it as an lntermural
sport, as does Oregon, O. A.C., and
Washington State. This is the one
intercollegiate sport tn which the
University ot British Columbia could
meet these teams and heat them, and
beat them badly, yet the soccer team
receives almost no support.
Soccer should not be the "poor
sister" It should be, and la, according
to the financial reports, tht, fairy godmother.
Let's support SOCCER!
