r FINAL REVISION REPORT REACHES COUNCIL Elections. USC Affected 7ke1t0tfiiMf VOL. XXTX VANCOUVER, B.C., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1947. No. 53. DRA60NSEED Fairview Lashed Med Site By Premeds Dr. George M. Weir, Minister of Education, suggested to the legislature Tuesday that the medical school be established at the present Normal School, a location about five blocks from the old Fairview site of the University of B.C. Necessary accomodation could be made, Dr. Weir said, by moving Normal school students out to the UBC campus, where they could get the "best all-round training." As an alternate solution, Dr. Weir suggested the erection of "two or three large huts", on the Normal School grounds as "adequate lecture room for both the Normal School and medical students" and as "effective improvisation until the new medical building is erected." He added that the three-acre Fair- view site has "space not only for a medical building, but for a new hospital also." — Photo Courtesy News Herald ORIENTAL FASHIONS— Two of the Chinese girls who will model costumes of their homeland during an 'Aid to China Dance' in Brock Hall Saturday night. Fifteen gowns of various styles will be shown. Raffle prizes will be drawn for during the evening. The dance is being sponsored by the Varsity Chinese Club, under Wah Wong. Good luck dragons will provide the decorations theme. Honorary Award Deadline Set Nominations by Literary and Scientific Executive club of members in their graduating and pre-graduating years must be submitted to LSE Honorary Society by March 5, according to Jerry Macdonald, Presi- ent of LSE. Each major club may submit the james of two members, and each minor club one member on the basis of the valuable work each has done in LSE activities. Awards will be puide at an LSE banquet (date to be announced) when the awards committee will elect ten or 12 new members from graduating and pre-graduating years to the awards committee. In choosing their potential members for the awards committee, major and minor clubs must take their nominations from students represented by a majority of votes in the club. "Any student names turned into AMS office later than four p.m. March 5 will not be considered by the LSE awords committee," Macdonald stated. Chosen to judge the elegibility of candidates as members on LSE awards committee are two faculty members, two honorary members and Jerry Macdonald, President of LSE. USC Investigates Disputed XXIV Article XXIV of the AMS constitution again under fire at the Monday meeting of the Undergraduate Societies Committee. The body passed a motion that the article be investigated with a view to revision by contacting other universities, After revision the article should be more strictly and justly enforced. USC stipulates that the ruling be incorporated into the '47 Tillicum. General opinion of the USC was that tho MAD did not enforce the ruling indiscriminately, but prosecuted only those cases which were not inconvenient to MAD. Some members of the body claimed that the ruling was not given sufficient publicity, while others felt that MAD should investigate more fully the individual circumstances of each case. USC feels that the problem of this ruling be cleared up now before the question becomes greater as UBC sport gains momentum. Dealing with the subject of Saturday night basketball dances, Bill McKay said that many complaints were being received due to shortness of time available for dancing due to the late ending of basketball games. A motion was passed to the effect that USC go on record as stating that there has been a lack of coordination between the times of Saturday night dances and games, Contrary to the report of eight consulted American medical experts on the subject, Dr. Weir pointed out tho close proximity of the Vancouver General Hospital as a desirable clinical training ground for medical students. To suggestions of Dr. Weir, a spokesman for the Pre-medical Undergraduate Society replied that, "Perhaps we should tear down the Cairn and carry it back to Fairview too." Dr. Weir states that 'Normal School .students should be at the University for the best all-round training'. From this statement one would infer that and all-round training is less necessary for medical students," he said. He added that "anyone with vision can see that a good medical faculty will raise the prestige of the whole university", while "an improvised one will drag UBC's name down with it". Politicos Seek Office Today Campaign speeches and elections for the Mock Parliament will take place today at 12:30 in the main lounge of Brock Hall. Students will receive their ballot on entering the lounge and will vote as they leave. Only those who are in the main lounge proper will be al-> lowed to vote, John Cowan, publicity representative of the Parliamentary Forum, warned on Wednesday. Anyone attending the meeting will be eligible to vote. Campaign speeches are limited to eiaht minutes in length and will be given by party leaders John Cowan, Progressive Conservative; Bob Dodd, Liberal; Cliff Greer, CCF; and Gordon Martin, LPP. Representation of the different parties in the 48 seat parliament will be according to the number of votes polled by their representatives today. Under New AMS Rulings By BOB CHURCH Final report of the Constitution Revision Committee under Ray Dewar was received at the Student Council meeting Monday and, after a primary discussion, has been posted pending the final passage at next Monday's meeting. President Ted Kirkpatrick urges all students to look over these proposals on the AMS bulletin board, and any criticism will be appreciated. "If passed by a unanimous vote of Council these recommendations will become law and part of the AMS code. They will remain on the bulletin board till Monday evening", he said. The report represents the conclusions of a committee set up at the last AMS general meeting. They formed their decisions after months of listening to "gripe sessions" and interviews. The committee includes, besides Dewar as chairman, J. Bagnall, Bob Dodd, Gordon Martin, Stu Porteous, Dave Tupper, and Bob Wilson. ^Clarify Eligibility For Offices In Article I, definitions 1 to 3 recommended by the committee have been accepted by the USC and preliminary discussion of Council indicates the passage through that body. The revised forms eliminate any student from running twice for the same office, or any degree student from running for an office. A revised form of paragraph 4, which accepted those eliminated under the term of a 'Senior' was turned down by the USC, probably followed by Council, arid the present form of the definition is likely to be retained. The next revision enters into Article III, and subparagraphs (c) to (m) of paragraph 2, listing the offices of the AMS, which have a considerably simplified wording due to the revised definitions. The new clause concerning President eliminates any student from running twice for the office. Council voted to include the limiting phrase "a senior in his graduating year". The recommendations have already been passed by the committee and the USC without this phrase. Council has', with this action, eliminated third year engineers, or similar five year course students from running for the position of president. These student; classed as Seniors under Article I, definitions. !!Premed students are wondering why the government continues to j jcr ignore the fact that a provincial medical centre can develop around the school only if it is located on the campus, where it can grow."

"This may seem a little early for may seem a the appearance of the first robin, but here in Vancouver we can always expect an earlier season. Guests will find the Commodore a veritable 'bower of flowers' ", Miss Ward went on, "and the festivities will be presided over by a doctor and nurse silhoutted in silver." Tho entertainment committee is still keeping their program a secret, according to Mike Shepherd. "However," he said, "I can promise the appearance of the popular 'Sink Spots' and they tell me they have been running over a few new dittie.", Elaine TwiVey and Phil Heaps report that ticketisales are being handled by the AMS office and reservations may be made at the same time as tickets are purchased. General admission, is $1.75 per person, with pass privileges available to NUS and PMUS members allowing them to purchase tickets for 75 cents each. Lending their patronage for the ball are Chancellor and Mrs. E. W. Hamber, Dr. and Mrs. N. A, M. MacKenzie, Dean and Mrs. D. Buchanan, Dean and Mrs. J. N. Finlayson, Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Dolman, Dean Dorothy Mawdsley, Professor W. Gage, Dr. and Mrs. A. B. Schinbein, Dr. and Mrs. F. Tumbull, Miss E. Mallory and Miss E. M. Palliser. Frosh Debators Ready For Trip Two women and two men, Mary Leitermann, Catherine Robertson, Hugh Legg and Dennis Sheppard, will represent UBC in the inter varsity freshman debates with Victoria College, scheduled for March 2. The candidates were picked from a dozen hopefuls by judges Dr. J. A. Crumb, Joan Fraser and Tony Scott at the Frosh tryouts in the double committee room. Two are natives of Vancouver, Miss Leitermann and Sheppard, while Miss Robertson hails from Chilliwack and Legg, a resident of Westbrook camp claims Whitney Bay in England as his home. The subject of the debate will be the same as that of the tryouts, "Resolved that the Veto power in the United Nations Organizations be abolished now." Jacquie Cross, a green-eyed brunette, is the VOC candidate, competing for the title of "queen" at the international ski trivet. She will appear at the noon shows. Further attractions include Arnie Teasdale who will croon his heart- searing tale of "A muvver and her Baiby '. Members of UBC's ski team also will be introduced to the audience. The noon show will conclude with presentation of the film "Ski in the Valley of the Saints". A technicolor sound film, the movie was produced in the Laurcntians. Purpose of the pep meet is to publicize the Olympic Ski Fund drive, which will send a Canadian team to the Olympics. Gym Action To Begin Immediately A recommendation that immediate action be taken toward the architectural design of the War Memorial Gymnasium was ratified at a meeting of the Memorial Committee held ' Tuesday. The recommendation, arising out of an earlier meeting of the sub-committee on planning headed by Professor Frederick Lasserre of the Architectural Department, will be submitted to the Board of Trustees. CONTEST OFf Previously a contest had been planed with the winning design to be accepted for the Gymnasium. It was decided, however, that such a scheme would be unnecessarily cumbersome, and would delay construction by at least six months. It has been proposed that Professor Lasserre and his associates be commissioned to plan the building. To this end, Professor Lasserre "has already submitted a tentative plan which is designed to combine the utilitarian aspects of a gymnasium with the essential theme of the war memorial. It met with strong approval from the committee. APPROACH VICTORIA- A delegation of committee members will leave soon for Victoria to explain present plans for the Memorial to Premier Hart, according to a second resolution passed at the meeting. Penn McLeod, director of the drive, presented a financial report and told the meeting that pledges of donaions have been arriving promply. TEA DANCE A Tea Dance sponsored by WUS will be held In Brock Lounge tomorrow from 3:30 to 6 p.m. Proceeds of the dance will go to ISS. Alums Campaign In Premsds' Drive As part of its plan to support the current campaign for a medical school, the Alumni Association has contacted its branches throughout the province in order that they may enlist the aid of their respective MLA's in the drive, Frank Turner, Alumni serce- iary ^announced last week. The Alumni Association he said is supporting the plan put. forth by tho commission last year, which asks [or a complete medical school on the campus. By contacting as many MLA's a.s possible and securing their help in the drive, the association hopes to speed up the campaign. To date four branches have announced success in soliciting aid from their government members. Four Nominees In For Legion Office Legion officials announced yesterday the nomination of four persons to various positions for the Legion general elections, slated for the middle of March. Perry Miller, present first vice- president, is running for the) presidency of the branch. He is the on'y one nominated to this position to far, stated Legion officials. Don Lanskail, present executive member and publicity director of the branch, has been nominated for the first vice-presidency. Jack Hunter, chairman of the housing committee, and Ralph Huene, master-at-arms and branch photographer, are running as executive members. Nominations close at 4 p.m. tomorrow, Legion spokesmen said. are Si S H ummer session iNews Three American authorities and one authority on Spanish America have been appointed special lecturers for the University of British Columbia Summer School in July and August, according to an announcement from the President's office yesterday. Spanish Dr. Alfred Coester, one of the world's outstanding authorities on Spanish American literature and Professor Emeritus of Stanford University will give courses for both English and Spanish students and several public lectures if they can be arranged. Dr. Coester, editor of "Hispania" for twenty years, is well known as the author of numerous books on Latin America. Philosophy Dr. B. H, Bode, professor at Ohio State University and one of America's most noted educator philosophers is another o fthe special lecturers. He is a well known and popular ; lecturer and the author of many widely-read books on education and philosophy. Psychology Dr. D, H. Remmers, Professor of Education and Psychology at Perdue University, Lafayette, Indiana and a distinguished member of many educational and psychology associations will also lecture at the UBC Summer School. He is especially interested in statistics, tests and measurements and has published widely in this field The appointment of Dr. F. P. Robinson, Professor of Psychology at Ohio State University and an authority on educational psychology and the psychology of reading was also announced Secretary, MAA Eligibility The position of secretary is not limited to a Junior as in the old code, but is available to Seniors also. This also applies to the president of the Literary and Scientific Executive, president of the Women's Athletic Association and Co-ordinator of Activities (eligibility of a Senior for CA was omitted in the committee's report but this was amended by USC and will probably receive the ratification of Council). Council, in its first consideration of the report narrowed the eligibility of the position of president of Men's Athletic Association from a Junior and a Senior to a Senior only, This move, on a clause already passed by USC and the committee, was made with the feeling that a man with only two years on the campus may be strong in athletics but lack the experience needed in the administration of MAA. The president of the Women's Undergraduate Society has been limited to a Senior. In election procedure, Article III, paragraph 5, the most important change concerns the election of the president of the LSE by the student body and not only by members of the affiliated clubs of the LSE as stated in the present code. Subparagraph (m) referring to the elections of this member has been completely deleted and (c) has been revised to include the new rules of election. The president of LSE will now be nominated by LSE members only, and elected by the student body. This step was taken considering that while the president of LSE was primarily on Council to represent the LSE, he or she also had the power to vote on all matters of student concern. More Power Given USC The constitution of USC is included in the revised code as Article IV. It was felt that with the increased duties of USC in its roll as a secondary governing body, its constitution should be included to give it more authority and to make students realize what it is and what ii. does. As part of the Code of the AMS, the USC constitution will be subject to the code's amendment clause. The USC constitution has also been subject to scrutiny of the Revision Committee members and several important changes have been recommended. These have already passed the USC and it remains for Council to put them on a permanent basis next Monday. The membership clause in the revised constitution has been narrowed considerably from its former broad phrasing. The membership level is maintained as close to 60 as possible, with a minimum of three representatives from each affiliated society and the remaining members distributed according to the size of the society represented. The societies warranting representations are now listed and mclude Teacher Training, Physical Education and Law, which are not accepted under the present rubs. Also included as ex- officto members are a Publications representative and all C« cil members. Election Procedure Simplified -•un- Fl'.ctinn procedure is considerably s.mpliCed in tho proposals.

STAFF THIS ISSUE: Senior Editor - Don Stainsby; Associate Editors - Joan Grimmett and Warren Darner The Wassail Bowl PRAISE AND OBSERVATION An Alma Mater Society Constitution Revision Committee has once again reached the happy stage where its work and worry are on the point of being formed into recorded achievement by the action of the Student Council. Elsewhere in this issue many of the details will be found/ This space is for praise, 3bservation, and recommendations. To the casual observer it might seem that the AMS gets itself involved all too often in fretting over revisions to the by-laws and code. Unfortunately, the truth is that the rules and regulations were not drawn up properly in the first place, that half-hearted attempts in the past have only led to more confusion, and that in recent years the Society has been suffering from an almost uncomfortable expansion in membership and activity. It is, therefore, fortunate that within the past several years much thought and time have been expended upon constitutional revision. When the problem was tackled on a mass scale in 1945 the subsequent recommendations provided for changes in the governmental setup that have proved wise in this post-war period. This year's deliberations have obviously been directed to clearing up many of the ambiguities of status and organization which have been left to the present Society as an unwanted legacy. On the whole,* the committee's proposals appear to be sound and for their work the revision workers deserve the thanks both of the average student and of Council officials. The committee's work might seem on the surface to be dull and trivial, but in the sense that it has provided a better framework for student activity it is indeed important. One notable feature of this year's work is the consideration given to the proposals by the Undergraduate Societies Committee, itself a result of the 1945 revision recommendations. The fact that Student Council is able to pass or reject the suggestions in the knowledge that they have already been subject to careful perusal by another representative group is a good omen for future improvement. Much revision and clearing away of dead- wood in the AMS constitution, however, is still required, and one of the first tasks of the new Student Council should be to provide or the continuation of the work so badly begun this year. By NORM KLENMAN CIVIL LIBERTIES CLUB On the cunpus this month, the first steps have be:n taken to establish a branch of the Canadian Civil Liberties Union, The organization U non-political and non-sectirian; it.s aim is to protect from attack or curtailment those civil liberties that are already esablish.d by law, custom, or precedent. Membership is .'■•n to student nd facility alike. Liaison will b_> maintained with Vancouver Branch of this association. That such a move, taken voluntarily by students only a short time ago, is close to fulfillment, i.s a tribute to this university. The Campus Civil Liberties Club is worthy of full support of the student body. Civil rights are not all guaranteed by law; nor docs the mere existence of a defensive law necessarily protect thesj rights. Only enlightened public consciousness of their necessity under the democratic system, and a continual fight for them, can fulfill this office. The Civil Liberties Union, through its branches from coast to coast, attempts to clarify these rights, to make them recog nized by law. and to fight any denial or abridgment of them, CIVIL RIGHTS Civil rights are in danger when people, from personal prejudice, or indifference, ignore the denial or curtailment of these rights. The degree of objectivity with which we usually view any violation of them vari'-s directly with the distance of the violation from us. The CLU, compos: d as it is of a great variety of sincere, intelligent people, can do much to keep these problems con- tinudly in our notice, and to force u:< to take a fair and objective stand on them. No student who has faith in tho democratic ideal can sit by idly while somewhere in this country, each y-ar, citizenship, and all tho rights of citiz.nship, is denied arbitrarily on the slim grounds of "political expediency". Tho campus Civil Liberties Club will do valuable work if it can add the voices of UBC students to others in demanding—and protecting—full civil rights for Canadians everywhere.

Legion Letter From HAL LINDSAY Canadian Democratic Spirit In Action By ERIC BRODERICK News Hem, Feb. .14: ."Amy, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada, meeting in annual convention in Hotel Georgia, urged the Federal Government extend for a ten-year period the restrictions on movements of Japanese in B.C. Seventy- five delegates, representing 10,000 veterans, expressed belief 'the return of this centrally- controlled dual citizenship foreign bloc would operate as an insidious menace te all citizens in this area ....'" A week later- the Army, Navy ar,.d Air Force Veterans in Canada were in the papers again. They were sponsors of a gala New Canadian Citizenship Induction Dinner, a*1 which seven representative members of the Chinese Canadian Veterans Unit of the organization were granted citizenship in an impressive after-dinner ceremony conducted by Chief Justice Wendell B. Farris. The ceromony was followed by a dance. ALTRUISM What I liked most about the affair was the splendid, democratic altruistic atmosphere. There was no racialism here.by gosh. The spirit of equality and citizenship was equally evident at the tables where all the Canadian Canadians sat together and at the tables where all the Chinese Canadians sat. I don't know where those aeven- ty-five delegates who represented the 10,000 veterans in the Hotel Georgia convention were sitting. One of the speakers struck the real theme of the evening, when he said that our boys had been "over there", by God, fighting to preserve freedom for all. His remarks drew considerable applause. 1 don't know whether the seventy-five delegates were clapping or not. GOOD LITTLE TALK Aid. J. D. Cornett, representing tha city, gave a good little talk. He said the Army, Navy and Air Force veterans in Canada, by their many good works, had "Shown the world that Canada can take all breeds of men and weld them into one Canadian breed." Nobody said anything about New Denver or Tashme or the other camps in the interior. Major General Victor C. Odium, Canada's ex-ambassador to China spoke about Canada's "modern, friendly, efficient democracy." "Yes sir, democracy!" interjected a bibulous citizen at a table near mine, "democracy's what we fought for over there." Hon. Li Chao, the Chinese consul-general to Canada, made the best speech. He said it was not the claim of citizenship that pr- marily concerned the Chinese element in Canada, rather it was "the matter of the prosperity and happiness of those concerned." I don't think the Chinese-Canadian veterans and their girl friends were the most prosperous citizens in the hall, but they were far and away the happiest. They were of course well mannered and well dressed, the girls extremely at tractive in exotic silken gowns. They all clapped politely after the speeches, from the tables where they sat in little groups. HUMBLE Chief Justice Farris had a few pro.'ound things to say. "Canada's part in world peace is one of which we can all be proud," he declared. "Canada is only seeking in its humble way to bring the people of all nations of the world together." For some reason I thought again of those 75 delegates, who represented 10,000 veterans, who had been ever there, by God, fighting for democracy and equality, And when the induction ceremony was over, before the dance began, you should have seen the citizenship. Real, down to earth citizenship it was. The Canadian Canadians went up and shook the hands of the Chinese Canadians, and slapped the new citizens on the back, and there was all sorts of smiling and good wishing. The peoples of all the world were coming together, all right, just as the chief justice had predicted. All but for those insidious, dual- citizenship foreigners that the fearless 75 delegates had protected us against. Atfer the ceremony the Chinese Canadian girls danced with the Chinese Canadian beys and the Canadian Canadian women danced with the Canadian Canadians who belonged to thj Army, Navy and Aii' Force Veterans in Canada. To date five nominations have been received for the general Legion executive election meeting slatrd for the middle of March. Perry Millar, first vice-president, has been nominated for the position of branch president. Two executive members, Don Lanskaln, director of publicity, and Helen Noel, in charge of membership, are running for the positions ot first and second vice- presidents, respectively. Stu Chambers and Jack Hunter, have been nominated for executive positions. John Mackenzie, Housing Director, and former business manager of the branch, will run for the post of secretary. Nominations will remain open until 4 p.m. tomorrow, February 28. • * * * A Convention Committee, consisting of Ray Dewar and Colin Gourlay, has been organized to determine branch representation at the Provincial Convention of the Canadian Legion to be held in Vernon on May 14. The committee will also decide upon the policy of Branch 72 as established by resolutions passed during the year, and will discuss means whereby that policy may be furthered at the Convention. * * # * A Merchant Navy Veteran's Committee, to consist of Merchant Navy veterans who are members of Branch 72, will shortly be formed. This Committee will investigate all possible means of obtaining rehabilitation benefits for those Merchant seaman who served in active theatres of operation. Benefits sought will be determined by a comparison of pay received by Merchant seaman and that received by equivalent ranks in the Royal Canadian Navy. • * • • Legion members with personal problems may meet with Rev. John Stewart, University padre, in the Legion office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 11:30 and 12:30. • • * * An emergency resolution passed by the Branch Executive at a meeting held Tuesday, February 25, will ask that Bill 86 be made subject to debate and Legislative action before being implemented. Bill 80, also known as the Consumer's Credit Act, concerns the sale and purchase of goods on credit or the deferred payment plan. It is felt that adoption of this by an Order-in Council would prolong wartime credit regulations. » * » » MISCELLANY: The Legion Canteen will be enlarged to accomodate the large number of students making use of its facilities . . . . toast and sandwiches are now being served . . . lowering of the price of coffee from 7 cents to 6 cents has been found unfeasible.

I Letters To The Editor ON CAPITALISTIC STAINSBY The hidden meaning in the title ofathe column "On the Wagon", by Mr. Stainsby has formerly escaped me. It is now only too clear what this meaning is. The reference is of course to the proverbial political bandwagon. I specifically refer to the ride he took on it in last Tuesday's Ubyssey. I find it ironical that Mr. Robeson, who received a short derogatory notice in that column, spoke of that particular bandwagon rather fully in his recent address. STUDENT FORUM !\T; \- I nek you i\It". Stainsby, where ROLAND ROBBED Dojr Mr. Editor: During the Science Hall an el. ctric train disappeared from our display. Now it so happens that this tram was borrowed from a little lame boy turned Roland. To my knowledge this lad had but two toys; an electric train and an old rag doll named Edith. Up until now Roland has been been quite satisfied with these two toys, but, now that the better one has boon lost, little Roalnd has become very despondent. Since Roland is very unhappy, since the new owner is probacy now sober, and since the damn thing ia broken anyhow, will the souvenir hunter who now has it please turn it in at the AMS? REG S.

ON CAF COFFEE Dear Sir: Though I am not a Soro'ity member, nor, thanks to the physiological requirements, am I likely to be one during tin: iv-iurarnatiou, these continual attacks by congenital malcontents is no longer amusing'. While indulging' in my favorite vicc.—joining clubs -during this past year I have mot nearly five hundred co-eds, and of these, three were Sorority girls. Tiie.se three were line in every sense of the word-not only did I hey speak to me as though I were an equal, but one even had a cup of coffee in the "caf" with me. If we approve of girls who like to paint pictures and lead snake parades joining the Mamooks—then we must equally approve of an organisation for girls who like to discuss the finer aspects of ''society" and "make contacts" that will be invaluable in the primary function of the females—that of finding a husband. DOUGLAS B. WILLIAMS. THROWING DIRT Dear Sir: We men of the soil protest the latest outburst of ridicule directed against our noble faculty. For some lime the Agriculture students have .endured the snobbish slurs appearing in tho columns of your bourgeois newspaper, lint uh n Hi" illustrious Jabez sloops to bait us our hearts are filled with bitterness. Homer Quineey is our friend—perhaps a bit scruffy, but considering where he came from .... He never has chas ed sorority dolls', and when lie does pursue women, he makes advances in the genteel fashion traditional of a gentlem n agriculturist. While this university frowns on racial prejudice, suciing Arlsmen heap scorn and abuse on an important campus group, the Loyal Fraternity of Tillers of the Soil. But our time is coming! We shall continue to endure your scorn, and when the New Order comes we, the humble, shall rise by the martyrdom you have thrust .upon us. We, the producers of vitamins, shall take our deserved position as the leaders of society! ! ! ! H. L. J. RHODES, R. A. BAKER. FAN* MAIL Dear Sir: Don Stainsby may not look much like a Cupid to you, but wait! There is a resemblance! Both are blind. Wasn't Fritz Thyssen a good capitalist? Mr. Stainsby's kind of thinking (?> may start as a voluntary "All Hail" to capitalism, but is liable to lead to a lot of compulsory "All Heils'' "VETS WIFE" you found this "pretty talk" you glibly refer to. Perhaps it pertains to the state of tho squatters in the Deep South or the mine workers in South Africa or the Jews on Cyprus or the reservation Indians in Canada. Or perhaps it describes the beauty of suffering, starvation, and aggression, Very pretty! I find your smooth platitudes slightly drowned by the sincerity of Paul Robeson. Surely, a tribute to him should go beyond his greatness as an artist and brilliant elocutionist. He is a great man. His self-sacrifice and great compassion show a strength of character that is seemingly beyond your comprehension. Further, Mr. Stainsby leaves no choice but to point out a few of his gross anomalies and untruths. His text reads like a Hearst editorial. It is a muffled echo of those arguments used the world over against socialist movements, arguments which lose credence day by day in the light of the truth. This reader's intelligence is insulted when it i.s stated that a system 'based on revolution has something basically wrong with it. Practically every large state today has a revolutionary background, revolutions led by men like Wat Tyler, Cromwell, George Wash ington, William Lyon Mackenzie, Sua Yat S:n, Robespierre and Lenin. It seems, Mr. Stainsby, that though revolution is not "the easy way out", it has often been the only way out. I would also like to know what these luxuries are that "even the laborers in our country take for granted". Are they street car commuters, long working hours, poor working conditions, unemployment or depression? We bask in this luxury! You also find it in your doubtful power to reject the writings of Hewlett Johnson, Dean of Canterbury, Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Henry Wallace, Edgar Snow and Quentin Reynolds in your remarks on the Sovtet educational system. It is today admitted, even, in the capitalist press, that public education in the Soviet surpasses ours in providing education according to intelligence and capability rather than ability to pay fees, It seems that I have outdone Mr. Stainsby in maliciousness, but I find it unavoidable in the light (or should I say dim glow) of his trite journalism, I hope that my effort has discharged some of the rancorous propaganda that is one of the chief detriments to world cooperation today.

CORDIALLY INVITE YOU Constitution Revision (Continued from Page ^ the executive of USC as th? discipline committee, which is appointed by the chairman of USC under a completely revised setup which is curr:ntly in force pending the final council vote, DISCIPLINE CODI Under the pas'.nt code a discipline committee member who charged a student with a crime also serv.cl on the court which tried him, and in the 'eyes of many an erring member was convicted as soon as he was charged. The amendment, now being enforced, splits the USC into two separate sections, tho disciplinary and the judiciary committees. To bring a student before the courts a charge must b? laid verbally by a member of the discipline committee, or by a signed letter from a member of the committee, a member of the Student Council, a society or club of the AMS, or a member of the faculty. TRIAL BY COURT The student may then be tried in a Speedy Court by a single judge appointed by USC, or, if requested by the court, defendant or prosecutor, a Full Court consisting of five members of the judicial committee of USC appointed by the chairman of the judicial committee, The final court of appeal in any case will be Student Council. The Full Court has not the pow«r to levy any fines exceeding five dollars, but may refer any case to Student Council if the crime warrants it. Procedure for these courts has also been simplified. The accused may elect a defense council from members of the Society, and the prosecutor, also a mernhpr of the Society, is appointed by the discipline committee, NO ATHLETIC CHANGES Outstanding is the fact that the president of MAA is no longer the chairman of the eligibility committee outlined in Article XXII, paragraph 1, subparagraph (e). This position is reserved for th: chairman of USC under the revised setup. Recomemndations made in regard to athletics have been temporarily shelved by Council pending the report of a committee set up from members of the MAA and WAA, and the president of the AMS. It seems certain that two athletic representatives will be retained on the Council instead of the one recommended by the revisions committee. However, the joint directorate, first proposed by Don McRae to administer athletic funds, and recommended by the committee will receive the attention of Council when the report of th: athletic committee is received. The final report of the committee has already besn passed by USC, except where already noted. Stu Porteous refrained from signing the report and charge the committee with attempting to railroad the report through before a USC meeting in January. He severely criticized the report on several issues, notably the clauses dealing with eligibility for elections, election of the president of the AMS, and the power of the president of student court to declare the court closed to publicity. He also attacked the definition of a Junior.

McGill Receives Memorial Awards By The Canadian University Press MONTltEAL—Frionds of th? late Morris W. Wilson, ch incellor of the University of McGill, have given the university the sum of $219,775 for the purpose of creating eight memorial scholarships. Details an? to be released shortly by the McGill Board of Governors but it is understood that each will cover the full cost of tuition, board and lodging during the four year period normally required to obtain a degree. " It is expected that these eight scholarships will be the most valuable in Canada,.. Art Exhibit To Be Here In March An exhibition of paintings by J. L. Shadbolt will be held in the Vancouver Art Gallery, February 25 to March 16, and later at the University of British Columbia. The show is somewhat in the nature of a retrospective of Mr. Shad- bolt's recent development since it includes about a dozen things done in the earlier years of the war, some of his overseas work from the last years of the war, and concludes with a number of canvasses dated 1947. The expected Shadbolt surety in handling color is evident in the large water-color section, especially in those done in England: "Old Marine Hotel, Penzance", and the two "Monuments", numbers 55 and 56 in the catalogue; and two of Victoria, No. 49, "The Red House", and No. 50, ''Summer Rain, Yates Street Hill".

Page 3 Perrault Happy Over Talk On College Radio Scheme Complete satisfaction with the first meeting of the Western University Radio Federation was expressed by Ray Perrault on his return from Saskatoon, site of the meeting, Tuesday. UBC will be in charge of organizing many of the important features of the Radio Federation, according to Perrault. A campus Roundup Feature, patterned after the CBC Roundup, will shortly be instituted. The program will likely consist of brief reports on newsworthy events in each university. It is hoped to carry this feature over a western radio network. The Federation appointed Bill Jefferson of the University of Saskatchewan to be its first chairman. Chairmanship will rotate through the other universities in the years to come. The object of the Federation, as outlined by Perrault is to improve relations between students and public in the university cities. Another item under the organization of UBC is an exchange sheet, which this university will edit and distribute. It will contain news of Interest pertaining to radio at the four western universities. A third item which Perrault thought should be included in the Federation's plans is a transcription exchange. Each university will select a program of the month, possibly a music or drama program. This will be recorded and sent for rebroadcast over the other organs of the network. Purpose of this, explained Perrault, is to educate .students on the work of other uni» versities, and to provide entertain* ment for people in the university cities, Saskatchewan has been given the task of organizing the Federation in its initial stages. Other plans tentatively arranged were a special sports events broadcast, to be handled by the University of Alberta, and an inter- varsity radio drama festival over a Canadian network. !'<</< IT PA YS TO ROLL YOUR OWN YV77W BritishConsols Cigarette Tobacco Consoi £l*». &*L*r °i» »1* £i*>4 MILD, SWEET, BRIGHT VIRGINIA f^^v^ LEARN TO DANCE PATRICIA DOY ANCIN Ten 1-hour Lessons - $2.50 All Types of Ball Koom Dancing Taught 339 W Pender MArine 47D9 (Top Floor of Pcndor Auditorium) ] College /hop ':// lk,iit tro*cr ' Ih uour INCORPORATED 2?? MAY 1670 _J halk talk By CHICK TURNER WHITTLE BLEW THE WHISTLE The long arm of the Physical Education Department caught your scribe in its icy clutch last Monday. While he was loping happily about the gym floor, nursing a basketball with great care and heaving it through the hemp at regular five minute intervals, yon Cassius, in the person of one H. Douglas Whittle, had a lean and hungry look. In no time at all the storm had broken, and Whittle beckoned with sharp-talonned fingers twitching, and muttered between clenched teeth that were arched in a devilish grin, three ghastly words: Physical training credits. At the very mention of PT credits, every freshman and soph feels a cold chill pierce him to the marrow, and this Ubyssey minion is no exception. Slowly he cracked a sheepish smile, but the eyes of the athletic mogul were hard and unrelenting. An Appointment at the Crystal Fortunately for his wretched skin, your reporter was saved the gruesome fate of being caught speechless, when peering through bloated orbs, he recalled that every Monday he was billed for his weekly appearance at the Crystal Pool. Thus the duel was postponed, and with the meaningful phrase, "Til we meet again," the tyrant released the victim. Some hours later, the two central figures in the drama recounted above greeted each other again down at the Beach Street reservoir. Under the lash of the Hart House maestro (Whittle that is) your columnist, replete with sarong and his numberplate bearing the inscription, Locker 77, turned athletic and swam his customary two lengths. The Rest Were in Condition After the marathon your reporter lay panting and dishevelled at the edge of the pond. 'Twas in this tragic condition that he suddenly espied through his misty gleamers, myriads of smooth builds who seemed to cut the water with effortless strokes. Whittle approached our beaten hulk to gloat, but said in passing that the university swimming team, then in the water, were just completing their first twenty laps of the afternoon. "Why the eagerness?" we queried. . We learned from the coach that the Varsity aquatic aggregation makes its debut before the hometown fans in Pacific Northwest Conference competition this Saturday. According to our good friend Doug (the appeasement policy), the College of Puget Sound natators will be paying UBC a return visit when they reach this metropolis at the week's end. Two weeks ago the Tacoma splash artists played the benign hosts to our own Blue and Gold mermen, and managed to eke out a close 34-30 victory on points. CPS SWIM TEAM, HOOPMEN COMING Idaho's Loss To Bearcats Gives Thunderbirds Good Chance In Crucial Bill This Weekend By iAURIE DYER There just isn't a single fan around UBC today that isn't wearing a glowing smile as he thinks of the casaba possibilities that face the Blue and Gold's squad of Thunderbirds. For the Coyotes of Idaho came through with a full measure of co-operation again Tuesday night as they dropped their second straight game to the Willamette Bearcats and found themselves occupying first place in the set-up along with three other teams all of whom have their sights set for the Conference title. And it just so happens that one p 4°of those four teams which are boasting —Ubyssey Photo by Mickey Jones AND REMEMBER, PACE YOURSELF—Doug Whittle, the Varsity Swim Coach was caught by Ubyssey photographer Mickey Jones as he was giving last minute instructions to two of his top aquatic charges before the last Puget Sound Meet in Tacoma. From left to right: Hawthorne, Oxenbury, and Whittle. SWIM STARS MEET LOGGERS SATURDAY Varsity's Swim Team stages its first Pacific Northwest Conference meet before a home crowd, Saturday evening, when Doug Whittle launches his splash artists againts the natators from the College of Puget Sound at the Crystal Pool at 8:30 p.m. The Blue and Gold swimmers are<$ Lots of Clearance Here But the wily mentor Whittle has high hopes for his aquatic charges on Saturday, for, says he, diving will play a considerable role in deciding the eventual victor, We gathered from casual conversation that, our aerial artists were considerably impeded by the lack of clearance above the board down at the Stadium High School Pool at Tacoma where the first meet was staged. In fact Jimmy Hawthorne, is one of his graceful soaring efforts, knocked his head on the ceiling of the establishment and spiralled out of control into the briny deep. There should be no trouble of that nature down at Ye Olde Crystale, because, excepting the locker rooms, the one essential feature of the aforementioned aquarium is that it has oodles of space. This reporter is of the opinion that the UBC swimmers will provide a very pleasant hors-d'oeuver to an entertaining evening on Saturday. We expect to get our ducats at the AMS office or in the gym at the Luke Moyl's emporium.

HAWTHORNE BIG THREAT Leading the Whittlemen through the foam at the Crystal will be Jimmy Hawthrono, triple-threat star for the Varsity aquamen. Hawthorne's breast- stroke efforts have ranked him as one of the five ranking swimmers in the province, while at the meet in Tacoma he sliced 1-5 of a second off the Canadian Intercollegiate 50 yard backstroke record, though the time was unofficial. Filling the freestyle slots for the Canadians will be Hall Brodie, Don Morrison, Fred Oxenbury, Bob Whitlam, and Bob Stangroom. Oxenbury and Hawthorne will handle the breast- stroke chores, while Dick Ellis, Lew Attwell, and Hawthorne will be racing in dorsal fashion. Bob Marshall, president of the Swimming Club, and captain of the team will fill in as freestyle artist, and the squad will be managed by George Darby. AN ADDED ATTRACTION During the intermission, Varsity's No. 1 aquabellc, Irene Strong, will race against the clock over tho 440 yard route in an attempt to break the existing Canadian mark for the distance in butterfly fashion. Percy Norman's fern relay team is billed for a crack at the existing 200 yard freestyle mark, an attempt that should prove a treat for the gallery no matter what the outcome is.

THE PICK OF PIPE TOBACCOS Joker Rollermen Win Skating Cup Thousands of students crowded the Armory yesterday and it seems that they just wanted to see what makes the wheels go round. For there it was that the Jokers held their second annual Roller Derby yesterday and for the second straight year, the Jokers managed to take the honors. Twenty-three of the entries were still going strong when time was finally called at 1:00 p.m. During the four hours of skating, the Jokers managed' to make the rounds 649 times a mere nine rounds better than the second place Phi Gamma Delta team. The meet was arranged by Bill Dunbar and Ivor Wynne with the assistance of the Jokers Club. The whole thing was to emphasize to everyone the fun thul would he in .-lore for th-in at the Kiddie Bawl. LIONS DONATE: CUP-7BC The cup presented to the winners was donated by the Burrard Lions Club. And the Jokers really earned it. Leading all morning, Uuy were never in danger until the last hour when the Psi U's who finished third and the Fiji's started coming up. Beta Theta Pi finished fourth with G3.1, only two laps behind the Psi U's, The Commerccmen, who were in second place around 11:00 o'clock, finished fifth with 622. In the girls' section, members of the Varsity Outdoor Club totalled 561 laps to down the second place 3rd year Ark team by 48 rounds. SECOND DIVISION RUGGER Second Division rugger all-stars will practice against St. George's at 4 p.m. Thursday in the stadium. Lineup will be posted on the stadium notice boord. Varsity, Lions Go At Brockton Varsity Ruggcrmcn will eet a ciaek al the McKechnie Cup Saturday when Thund- rbirds meet Vancouver Leos at Brockton Point. A win for the Blue and Gold Saluiday ,<, ill clinch the series and the silverware- will remain on tho campus. McKechnie Cup scries consists of six games, the winner of the majoity taking the trophy. B'y virtue of their 34-3 win over Lions two weei -> ago and their victory over Victoria last Siturday the 'Birds are now in -a good position to clinch the cup. Vancouver and Victoria assisted the 'Birds by playing to a 3-3 draw in the only other game of the series, In event of a Varsity victory this weekend the two other scheduled tilts will be played as exhibition matches. Only way that the campus rugger- men can lose the series is by losing all of the remaining games, and after the showing of last week when they took the Islanders for a 16-3 count there is little hope for either Art Dodd's downtown lads, or Campbell Forbes red shirted Victorians. VICTORIA BOUND The weekend game will be the last Thunderbird tilt in the city for several weeks as a journey to Victoria and a tour of central California will keep Roy Haines boys busy till the middle of March. It is expected that the Rounscfvll cup play will be next game in the Stadium, to be followed on March 26 by the invasion of the Point Grey campus by the University of California rugby squad. —Ubyssey Photo by Mickey Jones TAKE IT EASY RICHARD—The two grimacing groaners in the shot above seem to be taking life seriously. The helpless gent being twirled about six feet above the canvas is Ian Sprinkling, while the strong boy doing the dirty work is Claude Simpson. Both wrestlers will be among the attractions of Jack Pom- fret's Intermural Boxing and Wrestling Card on March 7. Wrestlers Enter Bis Card In Intramural Tournament Although only mentioned in minor connection with the intramural boxing and wrestling tournament of Friday, March 7, fight promoters Jack Pomfret and Ivor Wynne will have to start eliminating and cutting down some IS wrestlers into m iterial for four bouts ir. the tuurn.im- tit. Herb Capozzi, a drawing card to any spoil, will haw 205 pounds to | back up his muscles when he tangles in the lie ivy\V- ight class. Wally Walling, who has ten years of grunt and groaning experience behind him, besides acting as coach of the UBC Wrestling Club will also enter into the tournament. Among the other Varsity boys who \vill be up for elimination this week in the preliminary wrestling bouts are Jack Nelson, Howie Thurgood. Jim Girvin, Dick Mitch: 11, Egar Paulik, Tom McCusker, Bert Hor- wood, F'.oyd Eno and Pete Greer. Meanwhile, boxing fans are still talking about the featured bout of Monday's eliminations. It was Danny Oliver and Art Beaumont that kept the spectators on the tips of their toes in he seatless caves underneath the Stadium. These boys batled it out for three furious rounds, but the judges just couldn't coma to a decision. The moguls ordered an extra frame and Beaumont finally tipped the decision scales in his favor. Spectators judged the fight in which Seymour Alderman defeated Charlie Kellcy in the open welter— the classiest of the day. Ron W .iters, an up-and-coming pugilist who the fight promoters look upon v.ry favorably, obtained his prominence by taking a fight from Rob Owen. Jim Bryant came out on top in a niiddh weii'ht contest when Johnny Gervin went down before his blows. Ticket:-; for the March 7 tournament are now on sa!j at the office of Graduate Manager of Athletics Luke Moyls at a price reported as 50c for adults and 25c fur students a record of eight wins and four losses is known as the UBC Thunderbirds. Two weeks ago, things looked pretty black for the 'Birdmen when they lost their second tilt to the Willamette squad, but today, there is a very fair chance that the local artists will retain their title as Pacific Northwest Conference champs. However, the toughest problem of the year is now facing the Whiz kids. This weekend they are scheduled to meet the Loggers of Puget Sound in what will make or break one of the two teams as the Loggers axe also one of the big four. MUST WIN BOTH But it won't do the 'Birds a great deal of good unless they can manage to sweep both ends of the double bill. Each of the four top teams have two games left to play this year. The other team currently on top of the pack is the Linfield squad who in their present red-hot condition are expected to take both games from the Willamette boys. Whether the Willamette team can continue their winning streak long enough to take one of these tilts is a moot point. Idaho's two games will be against the celler-dwelling Pacific Badgers and will be played on their home court with their own referees. Any UBC player will be able to tell you just what that means. In short, anything can happen! A few short prayers might be in order in the very near future. Need we add that there should be plenty of superb hoopla action on tap this weekend. RACQUETERS GET CONSTITUTION Regulations regarding playing and court attire, as well as a temporary constitution were drawn up at an organization meeting ef the Varsity tennis club Tuesday. It was agreed that such matters as fees, court rrscrvations and tournaments fhould be deferred until a later meeting.
