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. A PILL, WITH APOLOGIES We note with pleasure that the Htudei meeting, finally yawned itself into sufficient MISSING ! to V*n2n ihnm to (Member of Pacific Inter-Colleglate Press Association) 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.

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.

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*. ♦i IV ,( »>f» * Tjijjj UuiSSBy In Our Frosh Year «we decided that nothing was too good lor the co-ed and her drag-along .... so we made *' the purple box," put Into it those now famous handmade chocolates . . . started to serve lunehes that satisfy awe a banquet at only cafeteria prioe, That's why we're A Tradition at U, B, C, Purdy's ANATOMICAL BOOT REPAIRING 4ltS TENTH AVENUE, WEST PHONE I POINT ORSY OM ORDERS CALLED FOR ANO DELIVERED IHHMlll i»H|iiSi SiSiSi'SiSnS a)"S «.i>«»i»iiSii>i«.S"«"»-< WINTER GARDEN Available for Daaoos, Bridge and Sooial Functions Enlarged and newly decorated.

IP Richardson AND Walsh Ltd. 523 Granville St. 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. November 19th, 1926 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 A, Clara Menton 6, Thelma Mahon 2, 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 full turn-out and developed a senior, 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. -eeye- 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 Varsity's Canadian Rugby Squad • fi 1, *f t 2-^lllLII^liad^saHrilsa^ial NhHtthft !^» *™PBfl 1 eMs rrM Msi Wfl *\\ tf You Need Pep!

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!
