VOLUME XXXVI
VANCOUVER, B.C., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1953
Price 5c; No. 20
Council To Enforce UBC Discipline
DISCIPLINE TABLED
FOR ANOTHER WEEK
Discussion of the revamped
Disciplinary committee came
before the Undergraduate Societies committee Monday,
but was tabled for one week.
"I don't think we can decide
anything now, said Art We-
seen, "suppose we regurgitate
the whole matter for a week."
"Would you mind repeating
that?" asked Jim McNish, USC
president.
"He wants to bring it up in a
week," volunteered another
representative.

A cheque representing the
$40,000 collected for UBC by the
Alumni Development Fund was

Ivan Feltham 'Mild' In Criticism
Of NFCUS Fee Raising Policies
By RAY LOGIE
A mildly worded criticism of
NFCUS and its policies was delivered by Ivan Feltham, Student
Council President, at a * noon-
hour meeting Friday.
Feltham, one of UBC's three
f delegates, to the 1953 NFCUS
Conference, hinted that the fees,
now, raised to 50c were unnecessarily high.
"UBC's and McGlll's motions
for a reduction in costs were
voted against by all the other

Students Issued Warnings
For Parking Infractions
Almost 300 traffic warnings have.been issued so far this
term to students who park their cars in campus no-parking
zones. Campus drivers are cooper-
— gating "very well," however, R.
M. Bagshaw of the controllers'
office said.
FIRST OFFENDERS
He said the majority of students who get first offense tickets
cooperate by not parking in restricted zones again.
A second offense 'is worth a
$2 fine. Thereafter it costs illegal parkers $5 a ticket.
"We don't want their money,"
Mr. Bagshaw said. "But wc must
keep the fire xenes in front of
buildings clear."
Admission To
Pep Meet By
Clothing Only
Victims of the recent Greek
earthquakes will benefit from
the first pep meet of the year
in the armories at noon Thursday.
Sponsored by Lambda Chi Alpha for the World University
Service, the pop meet will feature downtown entertainers,
Admission to the noon-hour
show will be any article of clothing or 1.5 cents. Sponsors of the
pep meet have emphasized that
their main interest is in old or
used clothing.
All proceeds from the show
will go to buy needed clothes
and blankets for people left
homeless by the earthquake.
Well identified boxes to collect clothing will be placed in
every major building on the
campus.
Investigation
Into Towels
Brian Daniels, Teacher Training, and Doug Cole, Physical Education, have been appointed by
the Undergraduate Society Committee to Investigate the method
of dispensing towels in the new
gym.
The appointment came after
.lim McNish, USC president, announced fiOO new towels had been
purchased by the Gym since USC
had first decided 1o investigate.
McNish asked if the committee wished Ihe investigation to
continue.
"If there were enough towels

Feltham made no mention at
the meeting of his recent proposal to withdraw from NFCUS.
On returning from the con*
ference a month ago he had said
"Rather than increase our contribution to NFCUS to 30c a

we should recommend withdrawal from NFCUS."
"A bill of rights for students
and student governments was
passed at the conference."
"But we have on this campus
more rights than was annunciated in this bill of rights," he continued.
"It was decided to have no
formal association now but to

PRO Threat To Quit
Puts Through Motion
By AB KENT
The threatened resignation of AMS public relations officer
Bill St. John, resulted Monday in Student Council passing a
"definite motion" ensuring student discipline to effect the
ending of poor university relations.
St. John told councillors that*^
he would have no other alterna
tive than to resign his post If
council refused to ensure him
that some definite move be taken
toward obtaining discipline at
such events as the Bellingham
Invasion and the Applied Science smoker.
His original motion was defeated on the deciding vote of
president Ivan Feltham. It stated that the discipline.committee
should enforce proper conduct
at student functions.
DISCIPLINE
The PRO'S accepted motion
stated, in effect: That Student
Council request the AMS discipline committee to enforce by-law
10 of the constitution, and to ensure proper student discipline,
according to by-laws, at all functions, which will result in such
functions proceeding along orderly lines.
By-law 10 in the constitution
refers to liquor on the campus,
playing* cards for money, disorderly conduct, etc.
PUBLICITY
St. John declared that under
the present conditions, it is impossible lor him to build good
public relations with the downtown public, considering the repeated incidents in which UBC
students are involved.
Students should be willing to
discipline their own behavior,
he felt.
WITHHOLD
"The only way to avoid bad
publicity downtown," he stated,
"is to prevent the events that
cause that publicity."
Commerce
Cleared On
USC Charge
A report on the investigation
into charges against "two commerce students arising after the
Bellingham invasion was made
by Jim McNish to the undergraduate Societies committee Monday.
USC voted to dismiss the
charges, which alleged two students, both of commerce, left the
Leopold Hotel, Bellingham,
without paying for their roon
after McNish said "the charge
were not valid."
The students did not act in a
way unbecoming to university
students, McNish said. One student in fact, was not in Bellingham that weekend. His name was
entered in the register because
another student expected him.
The difficulty over paying
arose when thc student left his
key with friends after leaving
early.

OVERTIME SUPPORT FOUND
Library To Get Attention
By KEN LAMB
The Library, known to most
people attending this university as that building where one
goes to either ogle al. the girls
or hold a political meeting, has
found some support from the
students.
The Studeni Library Committee, under the chairmanship
Cameron Aird, 2nd Law,
been formed as a liason
between the studeni body and
the Librarians.
"We hope to take the student problems to the library and
the Library problems to the
students," said Aird, "Very
few people on the campus
know much about the Library.
It's our idea to help them and
o
has
the "Librarians."
The chairman and two other
members of the committee,
Julia Meilicke and Norm
Ormes, have been ferreting out
complaints from Ncal Harlow, the chief librarian, and
members of the student body.
First move the SLC will
make is to install a suggestion
box on the reference desk. This
was done two years ago and
one of tiie suggestions concerning lights in the reference
room was looked into by the
General Electric Company.
"The Library staff will be
only too willing to receive any
complaints from the student
body," said Aird.
On the Librarians side Aird
reported there are many students who do not realize the importance of the books. Every,
day many books are returned
overdue and furthermore the
students do not seem to care
about paying the fines.
"One student had to pay a
$100 fine. He seemed as though
he couldn't care less," ssid Aird.
To the gratification of the
professors of English history
and literature, it appears some
students are taking an interest
in those subjects.
This interest has gone so
far as to cause some students
to cut pages concerning these
subjects from three different
editions of the Encyclopedia
Britannica. PAGE TWO THE UB

I-I, For! Camp,
would like to add my four
cents worth. (Inflation, you
know. The proberbial "two-
cents worth" is not much these
days; the paper it is printed
on costs more).
Some people like to make a
lot of hullabaloo oyer simple
problems. The communist problem is a very simple one. If we
are able to reason and it is presumed a university student does
have the faculty to reason sensibly—we should have no difficulty in keeping the issue
clear.
I was particularly impressed
by the editorial "Our Own
Smear" in last Friday's issue of
the Ubyssey. For the benefit of
those who are not able to find
a copy of that issue, I would
like to quote one paragraph:
"The truth is simple. The
Ubyssey has always opposed
Communism as a way of life.
That does not commit us to believe that everything a communist says or does is wrong.*
We are opposed to Communism.
That does not commit us to agree
that everything then an anti-
communist says or does."
' Do you not think the editors
hit the nail squarely on the
head?
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the man
who drafted India's constitution,
has made an interesting observation: "In America, democracy
is good. In England it's good.
But I don't like Americans insisting that democracy is good
for the world. The world may
be in different conditions.
"Whether you like Russia or
not, you cannot do without collective farms and' many other
aspects of their system in this
country."
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar would
have been wiser if he had said
that collective farms and other
aspects of the communist system are good fdr India but that
the country should not forsake
all phases of democracy for
communistic dictatorship.
Communism is not the answer
to India's problems just as, according to Dr. Ambedkar, democracy is not.
If the preceding presentation
has not been strong enough, I
might add that nineteen centuries ago there came One Who>
gave man a way of life which is
supposed to' be THE way, Christian civilization. To what extent is this way followed today?
If man cannot accept it, then
how can he accept communism,
which to my way of thinking,
is much inferior to Christianity?
It is obvlops that the result can
only be a dictatorship which
places no value upon the individual.
In my concept of freedom,
each individual's life is as important as any other's and each
individual has a right to the
basic freedoms. If our university education is directed towards aiding us in carrying out
the duty mentioned above and
if we do not fail in our obligations, mark my words, our civilization will attain new heights.
Then we could sit back, and
for our amusement, read about
men like McCarthy and Gostick,
who will appear to be much
funnier than the characters in
comics.

Profits
Blamed
For Rift
Western oil interests were
held responsible for the rift between Israel and her Arab neighbors Friday by a UBC student
who has toured Israel.
Speaking at a meeting of the
UN Club Friday, Dave Young-
son said that profits from Arabian oil influenced British and
American support of Arab policy
toward Israel.
A third year law student,
Youngson spent two months ln
Israel this summer on a Hillel
Foundation Scholarship.
FEUDALISM
Officially, the Arabs will not
negotiate with . Israel because
they believe that the Jews usurped the country without having
any legal claim to it. However,
Youngson fWlt that Arab officials are afraid that they would
lose their feudal power if the
Arab masses contrast their own
condition with that of Arabs In
Israel.
The borders between Israel
and her neighbors were described as arbitrary and impractical.
Negotiation will be necessary before these borders can be established to the satisfaction of Jews
and Arabs.
PEACE WANTED
"Israel wants nothing more
than peace," stated Youngson.
But he felt that this end was not
being achieved because "the
Arabs will not recognize Israel
as a sovereign state and will not
negotiate peace."
The problem is intensified by
the fact that the borders are too
long to be effectively patrolled
by police on either side. Consequently, smuggling and infiltration across the border are
common.

IT'S FANTASTIC
Fable False: Acadia Is Worse
By PAT CARNEY
There is a fantastic story circulating arouhd the campus
that Acadia food is superior to
that of Fort Camp! You dream*
eri, you.
This fable is false, libelous.
Acadia hasn't even the consolation of gazing upon the
fresh unspoiled beauty to be
found in the Women's Dorms.
However, last week's report
on For,t Camp Food appears
to have effects up In "bush,"
as Acadia is sneeringly referred to by Fort Campers. Sev-
Scholarships
Are Available
For Students
Students interested in applying for World University Service exchange scholarships are
advised to see Dr. Margaret
Ormsby in Room 2 in the Arts
building.
Though formal application for
the scholarships will not be due
until April, WUS executive advise those interested to see Dr.
Ormsby to secure the necessary
information.
She will provide all applicants
with the necessary information
plus an outline of study for
Canadian subjects that the appll-
cants should know.
Most of the scholarships will
be for Asiatic countries. There
will be some for Africa. One or
two for Europe and possibly only
one for Greece.
Since the scholarships are
limited in number, students are
advised to contact Dr. Ormsby
as soon as possible to have all
information and applications
ready for entry in April.
eral Acadians concede that the
food situation has improved
lately, and if this is any indication of the trend of things to
come, it is a great relief to
our digestive and nervous systems.

Take breakfast. You take it,
we've had enough. Up until the
Great Reform Movement,
breakfast was similar to that

two slippery poached eggs,

Another treat was Sunday
lunch. For most of the students
this was the first meal after
the night before. The fodder
preferred to soothe the sufferers' disrupted digestion was
invariably cold meat, cold

Three hours later Jim was discovered chained to a cement pillar in a deserted basement.

Move To First Place Tie
'Birds Score Twice In
Opening Five Minutes
By STAN BECK
The UBC hockey team moved into a tie for first place
in the Inter-City Amateur Hockey League on Friday night
when they defeated the league - leading Kerries 6 - 5 at
Kerrisdale Arena in a hockey game which had just about everything a spectator could ask for.
____ ® The Thunderbirds got off to a
flying start with two goals in
the first five minutes. Ray Ing
scored the initial marker at 4:31
on a double relay from McMahon
and Kirk and 19 seconds later
Jimmy Todd repeated for the
'Birds on a solo effort.

Record;
Losers
Doug Kyle and Peter Harris
are asking themselves what they
have to do to win a race after
they broke the record in the Oregon intercollegiate cross country
championships in Portland last
Thursday and still lost the race.
However, Ken Reiser of the
University of Oregon also broke
the record that he had previously set and beat UBC's Doug Kyle
by forty yards. Ken ran the
three miles in 15:405. His old
record, set in 1051, was 16:16.7.
Kyle's time was 15:49 and Harris
was 15:38.
It's worth noting that Kyle
took a wrong tufn ln the course
when he was in the lead and had
to go through thorn bushes to
get back on the route. Reiser only
beat Kyle by forty yards and
Doug lost pretty close to that
when he took his wrong turn.
Collingwood
Trims 'Birds,
Breaks Jinx
Collingwood Athletics finally
broke the jinx that the Thunderbirds had held over them for
two years when they defeated
the 'Birds 1-0 in the stadium
on Saturday afternoon.
It was more by the grace' of
God than by playing better soccer that the Collies won. 'Birds
literally ran the baffled Collies
into the ground in the first half
with a dazzling display of precision passing but they could not
put the ball through that all-im
At the end of the first period
the score stood 2-1 for the 'Birds
but coach Mitchell must have
told the boys to get some insurance markers as they scored
three goals to Kerries one in the
second frame. The nicest goal of
the game came halfway through
the second period when Cliff
Frame took a loose puck and
passed it to Bob Geigerich who
sailed in all alone on the Kerrie
goalie and scored a picture goal.
KERRIES FLY LATE
The 'Birds came out for the
third period nursing an apparently safe 5-2 lead when things
suddenly took a bad turn. Bob
Lovett, UBC's star center man
was hit above the eye by a flying puck and knocked cold. He
was carried off the ice bleeding
badly and had to be taken to the
hospital where it required eight
stitches to close the gash.
Lovett's loss appeared to disorganize the 'Bird badly and
twelve minutes later the game
was all tied up 5-5. However, the
'Birds pulled themselves together and at 16:25 McCulloch, the
most dangerous man on the ice,
fired the winner from twenty-
five feet out.
COACH DICK MITCHELL has every right to be smiling
as his hockey team has vaulted into a tie for first place
after losing their first two games. The 'Birds moved into first
place by beating the league leading Kerries 6-5 in an exciting game at Kerrisdale Arena last Friday night.

IGNORING the finer points of women's fashions for a moment, your peerless prognosticator will now bring you up to
date on all the inside deals of campus sport. Aside from the
fact that Piltdown Pete Lusztig, president of MAD, is the only
student on campus who can afford to live in the white towers
by Acadia camp, we haven't many scandals today but stick
around . . .
Don Coryell, the original Waikiki Kid, pulled a new and
a highly appreciated trick among football coaches when he recently took over as Tomahawk rugby coach. Albert Laithwaite
has always been beset by coaching problems, it being impossible
for him to coach ajl three teams. Coryell, who got his rule
book Sunday, did the good deed of the season by taking over
the Tomahawk squad. Now if only more rugby planters would
turn out for football.
And speaking of the grid sport, did you know that the
rowing team is trying to persuade some big husky football types
to turn out for crew. Hope they get them cause Frank Read's
rowers will probably be the only UfeC team with a chance of
representing the dear old maple leaf in the BE Games next
August. Pete Harris and Doug Kyle will likely make it as
individuals. So might ex-Washington sprinter Bob Hutchison
if he decides to go back into training.
BASKETBALL BAGS BIG BOYS
Going way out on a limb, we fearlessly predict that Pomfret's Birds will win at least three Evergreen Conference games
this season . . ., and we're counting on Geoff Craig not to cut
off that limb ... the lanky ex-Clover Leaf can make or break
UBC this year. Pomfret has lost only Bobby Hindmarch and
Gundy McLeod this year, has added Stu Madill and Hec Frith
along with Craig and we'd like to see the team that's going to.

Glad to see ex-Thunderbird Harry Franklin is coaching the
Braves . . . couldn't understand why some of the outstanding
Bird alumni never volunteered to take over the junior squad
which has coaching problems every year .

UBC Braves 17; North Shore 0
UBC Tomahawks 3; Rowing Club 3

The UBC Braves racked up their fifth straight win, and
fourth shutout (third by a 17-0 count), last weekend to remain
in a tie with the Kats for the top position in the second division
of the Vancouver Rugby Union.
points
a game scoring average with two
first half tries. Jack Maxwell
added another and the forwards
crossed the line en masse for a
fourth major which gave UBC
a 12-0 margin at the breather.
Edgett received a head injury at the close of the half and
didn't return for the second
frame.
Roger Kronquist converted a
try by Adrian Banerd to close
out the scoring. Two other second half tries were disallowed
when Varsity players downed
the ball outside the poorly-marked end zone.
The Tomahawks' Ken Urqu-
hart parted the uprights with a
second half penalty boot to offset a similar effort by the Row-

and salvaged a lie for UBC.
