Returning to U.B.C. after an absence of six years, Dr. Harry Warren, Rhodes scholar for '26, la taking the place of Dr. Phemiater In the department of geology and geography, the latter being on leave of absence for a year. During hla undergraduate daya, Dr. Warren was an active participator In campus life. A member of the Players' Club, he looked after the finances of that organisation during one period of Its career. He also had a part In "You and I," the •pring ploy of IMS. Jud as distinguished aa hla dramatic career wa* hla athletic one.

Warren won a travelling scholarship which took him for an additional three years to California, which he *p*nt at the Institute of Technology at Pasadena. Asked if he would resume his in- tertJt In sport at U.B.C. during tha year he is spending here, Or. Warren replied, "I have not heard yd of any ruling a* regards faculty playing on Vardty team*, but I certainly hope to take an active part in both hockey and rugby." At present he is on the Occasionals, the Ex-Varsity team. Speaking of his colleague, Dr. Dal- mage, who will also form part of the geological staff for the session 1932- 33, Dr. Warren said, "I believe the unlverdty is very fortunate to obtain the services of a man so interesting and so popular in addition to being an expert in his field."

During the Dean's absence, and pending the return of Dr. Phemlder from England, lecturing in the department of Otology will be carried on by Victor Dolmsge B.A., Ph.D„ F.R.8.C and Harry Warren, B.A.Sc., Ph.D. Work Itartsd la IMS Survey of Hong Kong wa* undertaken by Dean Brock as far back a* 1023, when a reconnalaance wa* made of the area and work planned several year* ahead, it 1* dated. In the winter ot 1923 Dr. Schofleld, department ot geology, continued tiie work, and a year later Dr. WUilams spent th* season in Hong Kong completing work in Palaeontology and Stratigraphy. In the winter of 1026 Prof. W. L. Younglow was engaged in similar work, but was fatally Injured at Honolulu on his return Journey. Owing to the inadequacy of existent maps, further completion of the work was postponed, but this year Dean Brock hopes to finish thc survey by the end of March.

An outside selection committee was to have chosen the two runners, who would also have acted In the capacity of British Columbia delegates to the convention of the Western Inter-Col C.'chianbn of" Mme*7"and" ha*'l*giste Athletic Association. The fact Fearless Frosh Reaps Reward: Sophs Soaked worked for several years with Canadian Oeologicd Survey. the Faculty Restores Upper Common For Student Use The Men's Upper Common Room which for three years has been the retreat of certain professors, is again to be placed at the disposal of the students. Since the dress of the de- preadon haa necessitated cutting down the staff, these rooms will no longer be used as offices but as dudy rooms. It is believed that these will be made available to both men and women dudents. It will be left to the students to preserve order as there will be no supervision whatsoever. The use of the upper Common Room has for the pad three years been n point of dispute between the Faculty und the students. Many no doubt will be able to recall the palmy days when the Men's Upper Common Room really was a common room; sandum sanctorum for the Chess Club, and magazine room for those who dared the deathlike silence. Since then it has passed through many vicissitudes. In 1929 the common room wa staken over by the | Faculty for the use of \he daff, as there was not sufficient office accomodation for the increasing number of professors. Authorities of the University hope that the dudents will uphold the tradition of cogitation and vegetation which has been the predominant rule In years gone by. was emphasized of U.B.C* isolated podtion a* regards her Canadian dster universities, the distance and expense entailed in meets being formidable. Council ruled that no remuneration for injuries received on the playing fields wiU be made by the Alma Mater Society if the' Injured player is not covered by insurance. The question of the method of paying this insurance will probably come up at the next Alma Mater meeting, it having been suggested that caution money be used to pay the students' premium. A request for the refund of caution money from the Alma Mater Society's coffers to a student who said he had been ignorant of the fact that the money had been turned over to the A. M. S. was refused, this being contrary to the principles laid down at the time the move was decided. The Fasion Show held annually by the Women's Undergraduate Society is scheduled for October 21, to be held as usual In the Georgian dining room of the Hudson's Bay Company. Ddails for thc Frosh smoker were discussed, as well as the distribution of placards and berets in the Quad, which sale commenced yesterday. NOTICE Fall congregation will be held on Thursday, Od. 6.

For George is a Freshman. And at 12:30, Uke any other Freshman, Oeorge thought that he'd step Into the cafeteria for a spot of tea and perhaps a kidney pie. But Doug Kirk and nine other sophomores had different ideas . . . perhaps they would deprive Oeorge of his spot of tea and perhaps his kidney pie. ; They jumped on Oeorge. After de- panting Mr. Armstrong they proceeded to encase him in a wire garbage- net and throw him into that whirlpool ot dudent lunch-munchers, the Cafeteria, leaving him clammy and quite prostrate. Exactly ten minutes later Frosh virtue was rewarded when Mr. Doug (Sophomore) Kirk floundered in the icy waters of the Lily Pond. The hand of Mr. Oeorge (Freshman) Armstrong had given the find push. Co-Eds Addressed By Dean Bollert On College Spirit "A good start depends upon a good spirit," was Dean Bollert's first piece of friendly advice to the new co-eda at her address in the auditorium Tuesday morning, at which she reviewed the details of her relationship with the women dudents, and some rules and regulations of the campus. She stressed the importance of a proper start especidly in the academic work, and the inadvisabillty of allowing difficulties to accumulate during the term. Miss Bollert pointed out to the freshettes that they need not attend every single thing that takes place in connection with the University. A student could have a good time without attending any social functions, accomplishing her aims by doing her work weU. She also said a few words regarding general conduct, urging them to remember the quotation "a cultured woman never makes a noise In a public place except in a great cause. As an example of proper demeanor she cited the feeling of reverence and solemnity of Old Country students within their college waUs, which she said might be induced by the dignity and age of the University buildings abroad. Dorothy Thompson, as President of the Women's Undergrad, also wel- ,<|> corned the freshettes. Frosh Are Welcomed Mid Sophomore Jeers By Student's Council Student Council members managed to deliver their welcoming, addresses to the freshman class on Wednesday afternoon In the Auditorium, in spite of Interruptions by rampaging Sophs. BUI Whimster, preddent of the Alma Mater Society, opened the meeting with a word of welcome to the incoming class, and a brief ncplana- tlch of the function of Studanta* Covin- ci). as the governing body ot dudent adUvitl**.

Miss Thompson briefly showed how thf W.U. S. controUed co-ed activities and announced a masting ot freshmen women dudent* on Friday at I p.m. Vic Rogers, Men's Undergraduate president, pointed out th* three functions of th* M.U.S., namely, that a* a cjacipllne committee, that ss guardian over th* freshmen,, and that a* of aU men's activlti**. ,th Witbeck, president of the Wo- lotto AssodatiOA. empha- the opportunities offered to the wom*n dudents in the field and the aid given in thi* conapdion by members of the Wo- m*li| Big Block Club. "Vou may b* looked down upon by ighiors and sophomores," said Bob Osbpie, speaking as preddent of the Merf* Athletic Association, "but on the plsywg field aU wiU be treated a* equals." Me)) Perry, preddent of the L. S. E., pointed out that freshmen need not export to rise into the limelight in tiwir flrd y*ar, but he urged them to go after their dudlea and to enter into tiie stud*nt actlvitie* in which they w*r* interested. St. John Madeley, editor-in-chief of the PpbUcation* Board, was the final ■pomcer uiueuucea uy rar. w ibshsmt. He outlined the activities of the Ubyssey, Totem and Handbook, but added in this connection that the policy this year in regard to publication of the Totem had not yet been decided. He spoke of the Pub. Board as a journalistic society, where students could get some experience in the various branches of newspaper work. Bill Whimster announced that the annual meeting of the Alma Mater Society would be held next week, attendance being obligatory for dl students. In concludon he said that from now on freshmen would no longer be shown things. "From now on you wUl have to ask for yourself," he advised, "and don't be afraid, for everyone here remembers very vividly the days when he was a freshman." Chancellor McKechnie Delivers Opening Talk To Returning Students President and Four Deans Welcome Students and Advise Frosh.—'Future Brighter1 Says President Klinck IN MEMORIAM Word has been received of the death of Toyoyoshl Yasuda, ■ graduate of Arts, 1131. Ha waa the son of Mr. and Mia. V. Yasuda, 9074 Hutchinson Street, of this dty. After completing a brilliant career at U.B.C., he spent a year la graduate study at tiie Unlverdty of Washington. Ht* loss wUl be f dt by a wide circle of friend* throughout the dty. President Klinck and Deans of the Faculties gave the opening address to the student body in the Auditorium on Wednesday, September 27, at 3 p.m. The ceremony was a colourful and impressive one, full academic robes being worn by all professors. The President opened the meeting by welcoming the students, both old and new, to the University. Every encouragement was promised to those who were in earnest over their <fwork but the student* were reminded that their education depended primarily on themselves, and owing to th* new regulations their respond, buttles were the heavier. Th* Chancellor dressed the keen Intend he takes in the students aad th* unlverdty. He held that U. B. C. might wdl be proud ot it* 1932 enrollment, one thousand five hundred aad seventy-six dudent*. The slight faU In the registration over the previous year la amply accounted for by the obligatory four year high school course. Future Bright Prospects for the Unlverdty aa a whole were considered hopeful. Th* Hon. W. H. Jonas, speaking at K*l- owna, emphasised that the U. B. C. grent would not be diminished, while the Hon.

With regard to the dudent*, he observed he wa* (Continued from Page Three) Fall Programme Outlined for L.C. Poetically opening the new season for the Letters' Club on Tuesday next, Dorothy Johnson will give a paper on the works of Coventry Patmore at the home of Mrs. F. C. Walker. Ten papers have been arranged for, and will be given at fortnightly periods during the coming session. In addition to the evenings spent in listening to and discussing these papers, one meeting is devoted to original contributions by the members. An innovation this year will be a joint meeting with the newly formed Graduate Letters Club. The latter has been organized since the alumni members have grown too numerous to be able to conveniently attend the meetings of the undergraduate c'i'b. Among the authors to be treated in this year's papers are the war poets, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen; E. H. Young and WUla Cather, representing modern novelists; and Samuel Butler. "Parody" is one of the general subjects to be dealt with. Expressionism in the modern theatre is expected to provoke some discussion, as did last year's paper on "Impressionism." "The Folk Song In Canada" will provide matter of harmonious Interest, One of the most engrossing pnjers of the season will be Yuklo Taka- hashi's discussion of some aspects ot Japanese poetry. «»ne of the oldes- association of its kind on the campus, the Letters Club has many years of worthy work behind It. The membership has become so large of late years as to exclude all but undergraduate and honorary members from its meetings, which are held at the homes of various lovers of belles lettres throughout the city. Inter-Frat Rushing Rules Announced For Curious Frosh "Why am I not Invited into a frat ernity? What is 'bidding' and 'rush ing*?" These qutrie* mud often enter the minds of. many rreahnud «ma 'don't know what the score is.' In order to clarify the minds of many puzded dudents the 'Ubyssey" is this year publishing the official rushing and bidding rules of fraternities and sororities. When a fraternity entertains a student with the object of their members getting acquainted with him It is known as rushing. The actual Invita- < tion to join a fraternity is known as a bid. FRESHMEN A Fraternity may not entertain any member of the Freshman Year, nor discus* Fraternities with him before last day of Christmas examinations, and no actual bid may be given until the third Tuesday of tiie Spring Term. Thia third Tu**day, commencing at 0 a.m. shaU constitute Freshman Bidding Day. Previous to the day of bidding, the Prospective Member may nd be given any Indication as to whether he is desired by the Fraternity concerned or not. A Freshman is defined as any man attending this University for the first lime. UPPERCLAS8MEN A Fraternity may entertain and discuss Fraternities with a student who has been previously registered, but no actual bid may be given until two weeks from the first day of lectures in the FaU Term. This day shall constitute Upperclassmen Bidding Day. Previous to the day of bidding, the Prospective Member may not be given any Indication as to whether he is desired by the Fraternity concerned or not. BIDDING Each Fraternity shall delegate one of Its members to deliver its bid to the particular Prospective Member. No other Fraternity man may discuss Fraternity matters with the Prospective Member on Bidding Day. The Prospective Member may not give any indication of his choice to any Fraternity until forty-eight hours from the time he receives his bid. This forty-eight hour period shall be interpreted as from Tuesday, 0 a.m, until Thursday, 9 a.m. That is, the Prospective Member may not give his answer to any Fraternity until after Thursday, 9 a.m. Once the bid has been issued, no further effort shall be made by any Fraternity to Induce the Prospective Member to join Fraternity before 9 a. m. on the day of answers. Any departure from the above rules by any Fraternity shall be considered a violation of Fraternity Rushing Rules as established by the Inter- Fraternity Council.

Booking down town may be done any time after this, reduced rates holding if students can prove their Identity satisfactorily. The regular rates for season tickets this year are three dollars. Students may obtain tickets for the season for two dollars, or, if they wish, may book for the season and pay at every concert, seventy-five cents for the fird two and fifty cents for the lad. A special block of seats ha* been reserved for students, and the Mudcal Society has been assured that they are good ones. The first concert is to take place Sunday, Odober 9.

Price CLASS AND CLUB NOTES —i > FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1932 FRATS, FROSH AND FREEDOM Fraternities and sororities have existed at this University lor some years and are officially recognized as active student organizations. It will not be the policy of the 'Ubyssey' to enter into the merits or demerits of -the fraternity system, but it is certainly quite necessary that all freshmen and freshettes should be correctly informed of a system which forms such an integral part of University life. Fraternities are secret societies, and it is their endeavor to benefit through friendship their individual members, and to work for the best interests of the University. The Inter- fraternity Council is a supervising body consisting of a member from each fraternity and a Faculty member. The system under which members are invited to join the ranks of a fraternity or sorority is known as 'rushing.' It is a question on which most freshmen are woefully ignorant. In past years many freshmen have not known of the existence of fraternities on the campus. Others have been rushed without actually being aware of the fact. In order that much misunderstanding may be clarified, the 'Ubyssey' is publishing in today's issue the official fraternity rushing rules, as issued by the Inter-fraternity Council of this University. It will be of interest to each freshmen that he study these rules carefully. Membership in a fraternity does not necessarily entail any social or scholastic distinction. 'Rushees' are at perfect liberty to turn down a 'bid,' and many do so. It is entirely up to each student to make his own attitude towards fraternities. It is the custom of fraternities to appropriate certain tables for their own use in the cafeteria. There is certainly room for criticism in this practice, but nevertheless it is an established fact. It will save embarrassment to the well-meaning freshman if he knows that all the tables at the back of the 'caf.' are used by fraternities. However, they are at perfect liberty to use those tables if they so desire or if all other tables are full. DEPRESSION ECHOES Way back in the days when the University had a full-sized janitorial staff the campus always presented a clean and well- kept face to the invading hordes of students every day. A reduction in the number of faithful and cheery janitors has necessarily meant the cutting down of time spent on the parking space and the mall. The dirt-gatherers have enough to do to keep the buildings moderately clean. Nowadays the campus is besmirched with screwed up lunch papers, half-eaten sandwiches, stale cake, and flattened cigarette stubs. A little care on the part of students would soon bring back the bright cheery face of days of prosperity. It only takes a little thought to carry lunch papers and so forth to the receptacles provided therefore. Campus visitors must feel that the students of this Univer sity are extraordinarily untidy, careless, and sloppy. LETTERS CLUB Applications for membership in the Letters Club mud be in the hands of the secretary, Anna Fulton, by October 3. There are vacancies to be fUled by both third and fourth year students. Owing to the large attendance last year, it has been found necessary to limit the number at each meeting to undergraduate and honorary members and the first five graduate members who notify the secretary of their desire to attend that particular meeting. TAKE IT ON THE CHIN Arts '36 has been welcomed- in every possible manner and is now thoroughly familiar with the University buildings. Already their lost and bewildered look is disappearing, and the Caf., is so full of Frosh that upper class men are in serious danger of being crowded out. The "wearin' o' the green" is the next step in the Frosh development, and a consequent boom in the beret industry is anticipated. All Freshmen are also required to wear placards inscribed with their names, and are expected to make the most of the opportunity to become acquainted with the rest of their year. The absence of hazing will make initiation considerably milder than in former years. Despite this it is more than probable that one or two will make violent efforts to swim the lily pond, although no attempt has yet been made to remove the frogs to a less dangerous locality. Safety in numbers, oh Frosh! MAKING THE JUMP Some departments, notably English and Economics are attempting merely in an experimental way, to introduce to U.B.C. the practice of reduced hours of instruction. They are making a virtue of necessity. Staff for teaching and routine work has been reduced almost beyond the irreducible minimum and some such measure has become necessary. Some students, possibly the greater number of them, -will object, and rightly so. A little consideration of the general procedure at universities older and presumably wiser may induce them to change their minds. » At Oxford and Cambridge Universities, there is virtually no formal instruction. The pursuit of knowledge is carried on under the supervision of tutors who gage the students' work and accomplishments from time to time by essays, etc. At Harvard and Yale, work in the two upper years is being done without lectures of any sort. Students are organized into informal study groups, and cover the necessary material in this way. Students must look upon their professors not as nurses who spoon feed them until maturity, but as advisors to consult in case of seemingly insurmountable objects. This attitude means more work, but it also means a surer foundation of intellectual achievement. C. O. T. C. 1. The following competition is open to all ranks of the C.O.T.C. (U.B.C. Contingent) who are shown on strength as at September 1, 1932. 2.

Orderly Room September 30, between th* hour* ot 9:30 a.m. and 0:30 p.m. for the Issue of rifles and Instructions. » • • The primary object of the Canadian Officers Training Corps Is to provide students at Universities with a standardized measure of elementary military training, with a view to qualifying them for commisdon* In the Active Militia. It should, therefore, be underriood that the aim of every unlverdty which furnUhea a contingent for the Canadian Officers' Training Corp* should be to provide as many officers as possible for tha Active Militia. The degree to which thi* result is Httained will be the main consideration in deciding whether the Canadian Officers' Training Corps as a whole, or any individual contingent which forms part of it, is giving to the Dominion an adequate return for the expenditure incurred in its administration end training Gentlemen who, on being recommended for commissions in the Active Militia, can produce certificates of proficiency obtained In the Canadian Officers' Training Corps, will be exempted from a portion of the probationary training, or will be eligible for direct appointment to com- misdons in the Active MUitla. Members of the above Corps or prospective members who are desirous of preparing for the examination taking place in March, 1933, for certificates ot proficiency, i.e., "A" and "B" Certificates (Infantry) will report to the Orderly Room as soon as possible, where particulars regarding the course may be obtained. These certificates are a guarantee that the holder has completed a certain period of "efficient" service In the Canadian Officers" Training Corps, and that he has passed the practical and written tests prescribed. By means of the facilities thus offered, those who wish, may serve their country with the least possible interference with their civil careers. Also the course is so arranged as not to interfere with the dudents' academic work. AU the necessary text books, precis, maps, are issued free on application. Students who wish to join the above Corps may obtain full Information at the C.O.T.C. Orderly Room. The Corps have been allotted the following dates on which Blair Rifle Range, North Vancouver, may be used: Oct, 2, 9, 23, and 30. On these dates pradices for the Inter-Unl- versity Rifle Competition and Classification will take place. Every member should avail himself of the opportunity of competing as generous prizes wUl be awarded. The necessary funds for transportation will be advanced on application to the C.O.T.C. Orderly Room. CLASSICS CLUB The first meeting of the Classics Club will be held on Wednesday, October 5, at 8 o'clock, at the home of Professor *H. T. Logan, 1820 McOiU Road, University hill.

The Ust is being prepared under the direction of Emma Wilson, and will probably be posted today. Enormous problems, such as "What To Do When Lectures Clash," "Where To Get One's Frosh Reception Ticket," "How To Join a Certain Athletic Club," etc, have a way of neatly untangling themselves under the sage direction of a learned Senior. Contacts with the various clubs, societies and activities on the campus may be more easily made with senorlal assistance. Fourth year girls are warned ln advance that they wiU be expected to answer every sort of question promptly and In detail.

The time Is believed to be ripe and public interest at a good height, thanks to the vigorous campaigning on the part of the students. A plan haa been worked out whereby the proposed expense can be met by a sale of some of those public lands set apart by the University Acts as an endowment. The editors, of the four Western Canadian Unlverdty papers have arranged for the interchange of news by letter each week. The correspondence will appear in a special column In the Ubyssey. Student registration this year shows an Increase of 131 over last year's quoto of 1014. The Arte faculty Is mainly responsible with its growth of 23 per cent. There are more aggies and nurses on the campus this year but fewer sciencemen. Not as many graduates are In attendance either. THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES Even college newspapers are not free from the Menace ot the Female. Of a total of thirty-five positions on the Pacific Weekly, Stockton, Cal., twenty-five are women. The ten men represented are dl reporters, with the sole exception of the Sport Editor. The following names are added to the masthead of this issue of the Ubyssey as those of full-fledged reporters: Ruth Madeley, Boyd Agnew, Zoe Browne-Clayton, John Cornish, Nancy MUes, Jeanne Lakeman-Shaw. Dave Jacobson. Several test assignments have not yet been turned in, and will be reported on later. The new reporter* are asked to get in touch with the News Manager at the fird convenient moment, in order to go over their test assignments and receive any additional information. They ar* reminded that it is now their bounden duty to look in the Doomsday Book ddly for assignment*, to check their assignments if they can cover, and to let the News Manager know at once if not.

They have to settle the question of a valedidory gift. Allow me to make a few bright suggestions. Has anybody ever suggested a clock in the caf? Or if that is too expen- dve, why not buy an IngersoU and a magnifying lens? You could do the whole job for about three dollars. Think of that, you seniors! No, but seriously, I beg ot you aU to think of something origind. Why not Install a stone seat on the campus. But 1 can hear you aay, "Ah, but that'* not original." Let me fin- l*h, willya? I wa* going to suggest Ihat this ston* seat b* made of limestone, or marble, or beryl*, or something Uke that. Or, on,the other hand (if you are not using one for your lunch and one for the Muck page in which ea**, ot course, you won't have any left), why not inved in a money- making proposition? Pay th* Initial cod and let the future dudent* inherit the results of your foredght. No Ink There'll be no more ink tor thlraty pen* in th* Library this session unl*** CouncU forks over the necessary. Th* Power* that be have allowed the Library jud to much ink for the year, and that wUl suffice solely tor its own peculiar needs. If the Student'* CouncU sse* fit, however, ink may b* *up- pUed to the empty bottles now reposing on the loan desk. DON'T get on the bus ahead of a lady. Everybody tries to do this and you might get hurt In the rush. DON'T sit in an empty seat U there are any co-eds standing. They are certain to cluster around you like flies around a can of Flit. DON'T offer your seat to a co-ed. She will be sure to take it. DON'T put your fed on the seats. Someone might dt on them. DON'T get off the bus till it comes to a dead atop. You'll know when the atop will be dead by the smeU. DON'T go to ledurea early. You wUl aupri** the professor. Yeah, brother, you said it; life is Uke that. Now I have some very good mining stock—my own mine, guaranteed to yield platinum, pearl*, radios and tincan*. I will seU this very vduabl* mine to th* seniors at the remarkably low price of $3.98 ...

AU along th* driveway from here to the gates, at intervals of fifty yards, •red one of my "Cozy Retreat*." Thia consists of a bench, surrounded by a tenfoot wall, enclosing an area of about twenty square feet. On the wall should be painted landscapes of Venice, Naple*, Bagdad, Seven Dials, or something romantic like that. That would be tits job of the Artsmen. Tht Aggies should be induced to train roses and other flower* around the bench. Finally, the Sciencemen, I ragged, could rnatell an artlflcal moon. At five or ton cent* an hour the University ought to gather In the shekel* pretty rapid. WeU, if you're not satlrfted yet, how about a celluloid swan for the Lily-Pond? Muckatorial Well, here we are again. The Muck Page once more threatens the peace of the University. Look about you—you will see strong men on their knees, co-eds fainting, all because of the deadly type of humor found on this page. But look behind the scenes. Consider the poor Muck Editor, chewing his finger nails and draining great flagons of ink In a vain endeavour to write something. Shall he unloose Chang Suey once more on a horror-stricken campus? Shall he (the Muck Ed.) once more put up Rufus McOoofus for election? "There is nothing new under the sun" we moan with a synchronized sigh. But if any of our gentle readers think, imagine or suppose that, they can write stuff equal to what appears on this page (or, preferably, better), "now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party." Otherwise, button up yer sox, and prepare to meet this page once a week! taring those pearly gate*. I tdl -tor a Freshette.

It was pointed out that public opinion regarding the university depended largely on the students themselves, and the students were advised to keep University social items out of the newspapers. "University support- era are unfortunately not so vocal a* those who oppose it." Dean Brock, Dean of Applied Science, spoke to the freshmen m particular, saying the students were envied by many of their elders who had wisdom, but would rather have hair. The dudent* were reminded of the importance of their training, since the joy of life lies in creative work. Clement Praises Agriculture Dean Clement spoke for the Faculty of Agriculture, which although the amalled on the campus, has re celved wide recognition throughout Canada for the excellence of Its work and the thoroughness ot Its training. .Even the Kidd report recognized Its value In the suggestion that the research grant be increased. Dean Bollert spoke briefly, on the grounds that the students had already been told all they could be told for one day. Preddent Klink closed the meeting remarking it had been In the nature of an experiment. Less time had been aUotted to the Chairman, and more to the Chancel lor and Deans. W. P. A. & Dear old Sedgewick (all of them): Ontario was never known to do anything right. I'd rather meet the B. C. students than- any students I've ever had. They're idiots, but they're cheerful idiots.

Many frosh found this out, to their great discomfort Thursday In the noon hour when sophs ducked members of the dass of '38 to the tune of 2-8. In other words two frosh went in the Illy pond bringing with them only eight sophomores. When questioned by the Press as to damage sustained by both ranks, one proud second year man declared that at least a dozen frodi had received the water cure, but he exaggerated. "I helped to duck two of them myself," he said with evident pride. There la another side to this question, as a variety of mde clothing strewn about the lawns testified. No fewer than seven men of the second year lost their nether garments in their ardour to assure frosh of the ddlcate treatment. flhr sttmurattg of irttiah fltoutmbto Information to Students All cheques must be certified and made payable to "The University of British Columbia" Mailing Certified Cheques to Bursar is Recommended 1.

Page Four THE UBYSSEY Friday, September 30,1932 CAMPUS SPORTS VARSITY GRIDMEN CLASH WITH NEW WESTMINSTER SATURDAY AT ATHLETIC Squad Pronounced in Good Condition For Their Opening Game Tomorrow—Starting Line-Up Not Obtainable—Farrington, Mclntyre* Certain To Get Call— Bolton, Moore and Steele Are Likely Starters By OORDON ROOT Just how the Varsity grid men will show up against the hard-driving, heavy-hitting football squad from New Westminster is a question that has puzzled the best of the dopesters in the Lower Mainland. Not until the two squads clash in a Big Four contest at Athletic Park on Saturday afternoon will the "wise guy"" he able to tag a score on the outcome. For against the line plunging of Bill Henderson and Frank Rich, and the forward passing of "Truck" McDonald, whose forward passes are a feature ot the Royd$> City team'* offense, you have the unknown quantity, Vardty. If Inexperienced but fighting footbaU players can outplay a veteran aggregation, chalk up a victory for the Blue and Oold. And it is said that youth must be served. But should the wide cross buck* of the D'Easum-coached gridders march through the dudent line as they paraded down the fidd agalnd Victoria, the coUedan* can leave their uniforms In moth balls and save a lot of skin by playing backgammon In the family parlour on Saturday afternoon. Yet it is hard to remember a senior grid struggle In which the mighty "donewaUs" developed by Dr. Burke have faUed to withstand an opposing onslaught; and the boys have been up agdnd far differ attack* than Westminster wUl offer tomorrow. New material, lack of sufficient training and other obstacle* notwithstanding, the Vardty squad ha* finished in fird or second place in th* Big Four league in five of the lad dx years. That, ladles and gentlemen, is a reputation than any coach would gladly own. With the assistance ot Jack Coles, three letter man at the University of Washington and a member of the team that won the Coast conference title in 1925, the U.B.C. mentor has whipped his team Into fird class shape. Only once before, claims the Doctor, have the boys been In such good condition for their opening game. But agalnd that condition is a lack ot experience that will to some extent counter-balance it. Starting lineups cannot even be guessed. With his usual tight-lipped manner, the "Doc" has offered no suggestions as to who will and who wUl not be in uniform on Saturday. Captain Dick Farrington, of course, wtil be a certain darter, as is Doug Maclntyre, the flashy backfield star, but the rest of the squad is very much in doubt. Fred Bolton, Dick Moore, Jack Steele, Oeorge Henderson and Frank Rush are all first class ball carriers, while Mark Collins, Jack Bourne, Harold Pearson, Doug McCrimmon, Russ Keillor, BUI Jack, Wally Johnstone, Ed Sinclair and "Spud" Ackhurd are all possible linemen. [ SPORTORIAL "I ATHLETIC INSURANCE Elsewhere on this page is the report that the Men's Athletic Association voted in favour of an insurance covering University athletics. For a four dollar premium each holder of such a policy will receive compensation to the extent of one hundred and fifty dollars. According to the plans adopted, the Alma Mater Society will pay half the amount of the premium and half is to be paid by the insured athlete. For a policy of its kind the premium paid per person is extremely low and to counteract this the insurance company has stipulated a total minimum premium of something over six hundred dollars. This means that before the insurance will be given, a group of roughly one hundred and sixty students must agree to the policy and pay their two dollar premiums. Such a policy must meet with instant approval among those participating in athletics. In any sport minor injuries are liable to happen to the participants at some time or another. A broken bone or a cut that requires stitches would cost the individual considerably over two dollars to have fixed apart from the medical care also necessitated through such an injury. But for the very economical, and under the circumstances, almost negligible sum of two dollars a student may play his favourite sport with every assurance that every mishap he suffers will be taken care of without additional expense. We feel certain that any athlete who gives the insurance policy even a moment's consideration will realize the financial protection received thereby, and that a sufficient number of players will subscribe to the scheme to put the policy into action. ENGLISH RUGGERS PLAY IN FIRST TISDALL CUP ENCOUNTER SATURDAY Art Mercer To Pilot Team Against North Shore All-Blacks—Howie Cleveland Back —Leggatt, Allan Mercer, Bill Morris and Bill Gross To Represent Freshmen in Line-Up — Third Division Team To Play Ex-Britannia Art Mercer leads a heavy pack of English Gridders into their first fray tomorrow afternoon at Brockton Point Oval at 2:15 when they take on the North Shore All-Blacks. Coach Buck Yeo has again taken charge of the English Rugby boys and for the past week has been whipping them into shape with a series of tough practices. Yeo's task of searching for new material was considerably lightened when several high-school-trained Frosh showed at practices and worked like DICK FARRINGTON Captain of the 1932 Big Four grid squad, Dick is starting his fourth year ln senior company. For the pad three seasons he has played on th* Blue and Oold grid-iron, and know* hi* game from every angle. He wtil need plenty of watching in tomorrow's encounter. DOC BURKE Coach of Varsity squads ever dnce the Inception of Canadian rugby out at U.B.C., Doc is known by every sport enthudast on the campus as one mod expert mentors of the grid code In the wed. Each year he is forced to take raw material with nothing much but ambition, and is expeded in a few weeks to build a championship team. If it's possible to do, Doc is the one to do it. SWIMMING Varsity swimming enthusiasts are asked to attend the first meeting of the year In Arts 108, Friday noon, September 30. Membership fee of $1.00 may be paid Harry Anderson, Norman Gustafson, Marian Sangster, Ron Wilson, Bea Grayson or Peggy Reed. Coach Norman Cox wiU address the meeting and outline his plans for beginners and advanced classes at the Crystal Pool as well as the Life Saving classes at Chalmers. Mr. Dooley Allan, Honorary Vice President and Professor Larsen will also attend. NOTICE! Freshman wanted (175 pounds and under) to try for podtion on Vardty Inter-Scholastic Canadian Rugby team. Practices every morning d 7:30. Report to gymnadum at 7:30 aa soon as posdble. Smart Line'Up For Golf Club Says President Bill Cadleton, hefty Quilchena shotmaker and Preddent of the Varsity Golf Club, has announced that membership tickets may now be obtained from him at 35 cents. These tickets enable dudents to play at the Unlverdty course for 35 cents instead of the usual four-bits. With the proceeds from the sale of these membership tickets the Club defrays travelling expenses and last year was one of the few campus organizations to end out of the red. A single glance at the "swat and walk" boy's lineup would lead one to believe that the cream of local Junior Golfdom had slung their 15 or 16 dubs under their interlocking grips or draight left arms and had proceeded thence to the University, where they dumped aforementioned clubs and begged entrance to the Castietonian precincts. In short, President Castle ton has puffed up hi* 240 pounds even more in anticipation of a great golfing year. Heading the list of newcomers is Ted Charlton, curly thatched Point Grep pill-patter. Ted went through to the quarter-finals ln the B. C. Amateur last year and the Varsity Club Is confident that Ted will snare one of the lead-off berths. Another smart duo from Point Grey are Gor- die Livingstone and Fred Wright, joint holders of the Point Grey Junior Record. Ted Wilkinson and Ken Hentig are another couple of steady golfers from the same course. Both are capable of crashing the seventies when in good form. Harry Horsman, left-handed Junior Champion of Marine Drive, will probably get his old place on the team. Charlie McCadden, twice University champion, is shooting in the low seventies and will probably team up with Charlton. They should make an unbeatable pdr. Prevost of last year's team will also be out for a place. Pre-Christmas tourneys include the Student-Faculty match and the Handicap Tournament. Entry forms will be placed on the notice-boards. FULL SPEED AHEAD! Student athletics are in full swing again for the coming season and every Saturday, as well as through the week, Varsity teams will be sent into action against squads representing various local organizations. It is mathematically impossible for every student to be on every team. It is not impossible, however, for every student to take an interest in their Alma Mater, and the various competing teams by turning out to the games and giving their moral and lusty vocal support to the athletes who are giving all they have to carry the Blue and Gold colours to victory. With the wide selection of games and sports to choose from, no student has any possible excuse for not supporting at least one sport. Give yourself a real thrill and give one of the Varsity teams a break by turning out to as many of the games as possible. Enthusiasts of Track, Field, Will Compete on Saturday; Former Stars to Attend Trackders from Varsity, Ex-Britannia, Vmlngs and New Westminster wiU congregate at the U.B.C. oval at 2:30 Saturday afternoon for the first meet this season to be held under the auspices of the B. C. Track and Field Club. No admission will be charged. Good line-ups will be the order of the day, and with a number of old-timers in the running as well as much promising frosh materid, Max Stewart, President of the Varsity Track Club, expects first class results from the U.B.C. crew. Handicaps will put Varsity men on an equal footing with visitors, but indications are that the Point Grey aggregation won't need much help of that sort. Back on the job are George and Alfie Allen who will IMPORTANT NOTICE All students interested in joi; im: the Track Club, PARTICULARLY FRESHMEN, are asked to be in Arts 108 at 12:15 to-day. TWO SOCCER GAMES CARDED TO-MORROW FOR VARSITY TEAMS Saturday afternoon will see both soccer teams in action, the Seniors far the second time, and the Juniors for the fird time. The Fird Division squad faces Chinese Students, flashy Orientd aggregation, at Cambie Street. Neither team has succeeded in securing any points to date, the Chinese having played two games, and Vardty one. The students are confident that the game will be their fird in the win column, as their respective standings in the league last year were fourth and seventh. However, they are also mindful that last year they dropped a 0-3 decision to the Orientals in their second start of the year, and are therefore determined to take no chances. The game is scheduled to start at 3:00 p.m. The senior outfit this year has few changes from that which performed in Second Division during the past season. Frattinger, Junior recruit of lad year, will again perform between the posts. Millar McGill, dependable right back, Is once more in front of Frattinger. However, there is a change In the left back position, Vern Wright having returned to take the place of George Grant, who joined the ranks of the pedagogues. The undertake the mile and three mile events backed by the swiftness of Sid Smith. Herbert Barclay wtil be there in the half mile with Ken Wright, and Hugh Smith is expected to partake in the broad jump. Vardty representatives in the hundred yard* are to be Max Stewart and W. Stott who wiU alao run In the 220 event. For the flrd time it will be possible to use the new 220 straightaway which has been under construction all summer.
