VANCOUVER, B.C., JANUARY 24th, 1924 No. 13 Conference Planned For Week End S. C. M. Programme Embraces Interesting Topics—Prominent Speakers Engaged It has been asked in many different ways whether the present situation in society and religion is, as the famous mathematical problems of antiquity, impossible of solution, or whether something cannot be found that will bring about reform? Can the ill-feeling between races of different origin and color be supplanted by happier relationships, national and imperial ambitions become international and some means be found to end the strife between modern science and religion? These things have lasted long enough and the time is ripe for definite action. The foregoing questions and ail that they involve will be faced at the coming conference. Every scheme and suggestion will be welcomed. But whatever else may be brought forward one of the main purposes of the conference is to examine the merits Of Christianity. If there is but little hope in the way of Christ, what more hopeful way is there? This is a chal lenge to every thoughtful student, to search for some clue, and present it at the conference. The conference begins on Friday evening at 8:00 p.m. in the University Continued on Page 5 League of Nations J Society Will Give Series of Lectures ThA Alma Mater Society has invited thevAieague^of Nations^Society (Vancouver Branch) to^afrange a "few lectures for the benefit of the students of the U. B. C. Tomorrow (Friday) at noon, Hon. Mr. Justice Murphy will speak on "What the League has already accomplished." Justice Murphy has an excellent reputation as a learned, convincing, and pleasing platform speaker, and there is no doubt that the Auditorium will be filled to capacity. If the first lecture is a success, other League lectures will be available from week to week. Tom Richardson, onetime British Labour M.P., will speak on "Labour and the League;" Dean Coleman on "International Prejudice and Education;" Principal W. H. Smith on "The League and the Churches;" and Robie L. Reid, K.C, on "The Permanent Court of International Justice at the Hague." This series would certainly be of great educative value to the student body and it will be easy to make arrangements for it, if the turnout for Mr. Justice Murphy's initial lecture warrants the Alma Mater Society in taking action. Harrjr Mosher, Popular Varsity Goalie Above is a picture of Harry Mosher of Science '25, who needs no introduction to local soccer fans. "Heg- gie" enjoys the reputation of being one of the best net minders in Canada and will in all probability represent the Dominion in an all-star eleven which is to tour Australia this summer. The fact that Mosher has come into prominence while playing for the Varsity is a source of considerable satisfaction to the followers of tne round ball game at U. B. C. If the honor of being selected for the all- star team is conferred on the tall Varsity custodian it will speak well, not only for his individual merit, but also for the high class of soccer as well as other branches of sport participated in at U. B. C. Two years ago the Varsity first soccer team was practically in obscurity, being only a second division team. Last year they were tied for the first division league leadership, won the Mainland Cup, and qualified for the finals in the Provincial championships. Heggie played a big part in this extraordinary accomplishment although it was also due to the result of the tireless efforts of many others who adopted a less sensational role than he. \\ NOTICE The practice of reserving a seat in the library by placing books in front of it or by tilting the chair against the table must discontinue.

The meeting was opened by yell King Bishop, who led Varsity through popu • lar yells. Mr. Swanson, President ot I Arts '27, then explained that the meet-; ing was being held to create enthus-! iasm for the forthcoming debates aim j games. At this point the Heinz Rube ] Band appeared and clinched with' cheery "music," Mr. Swanson's argu-, ments for pep. j After the "music," Mr. Hodgson and j Mr. Gibbard appealed for support for the Debaters and the European Student Relief Campaign respectively, j Mr. Lipsey announced that owing to ; weather conditions the soccer game! would have to be postponed. Mr. Lip- i sey emphasized the fact that good sup | port was of wonderful assistance to i a team, especially to a losing team, j He stated that Varsity won not only , by ability, but also by a certain spirit, I which the speaker termed "fight." j Next the Heinz Band rendered "On : the Back Porch." The audience sang, j and thundered applause when the! Band bowed its thanks, in the approved manner of the Capitol Orchestra. Dr. Sedgewick spoke, voicing his approval of everything that had been expressed by the speakers. He praised the recent work of the Varsity First Soccer Team, when with two men missing it prevented the Elks team from scoring. He pointed out that soccer brought Varsity into contact with many people, who could only judge tne College by the clean work of me teams. He mentioned the high esteem in which Varsity is held in local soccer circles. At the close of his speech, a "Skyrocket" was given for Dr. Sedgewick. Then the Heinz Band smashed its way through one or two pieces; and later the students were conducted by Mr. Jack MacDonald, in the singing of two old favorite songs. The Yell Kin- closed the meeting with a few admirably conducted college yells. Best Smoker Yet x That of Arts Men The Arts Smoker, which is to take place on February 8, promises to be a great success. The various committees in charge are working hard, and announce that very satisfactory arrangements are being made. The Smoker will he one of the best ever staged by Arts. Record crowd- ol Arts men are expected to attend The U. B. C. international debaters were defeated both here and in Oregon last Friday evening! the vote of the judges being two to one in their opponents' favour in both cases. The Varsity speakers, however, went down to defeat only after a keen and close struggle. At home, the University debaters upheld the affirmative of the resolution, "That the United States should immediately recognize the Soviet Government of Russia," A. E. Grauer, Arts '25, and H. Yonemura, Arts '24, speaking against Chas. H. Chandler and H. T/McKee of the University of Idaho, r Mr. Grauer. leader of the U. rt. C. team, opened the debate by setting forth legal and eeonomie arguments for immediate recognition. He claimed that, since the Soviet had established a safe and permanent government, they were entitled to recognition by all the best-traditions of international relations. That the resulting employment of idle American capital in the development of Russian resources would benefit both countries, was his assertion. The negative leader, Mr. Chandler (who is a Senior student in the faculty of Education at Idaho) then took the platform. The Soviet Government's policy of confiscating private property prevented the acknowledgement of their validity, he argued. Recognition would legalize these con- f t-cations afiid make the United Slates a party.ro Russia's crimes. II. Yonemura, second debater for 1 i'p affirmative, then spoke. He attacked the arguments that had been advanced by the Idaho debater, and vent on to advance a third argument ;n favor of recognition, namely that uch an action would insure world \\v ace rince Russ'a, unrecognized, was ro "polled to maintain large standing "rr-ies. Tliis latter argument was attacked y H. T. McKee, Idaho's second syeak- t, who declared that war and not peace would result, since the U. S. would, eventually, be compelled to use force in the protection of her Russian investments. He advocated the status <~uo policy of "let well enough be." McKee Quoted statistics to show the superiority of American-Russian trade- ralance over like figures as regards Foviet commerce with England. Each of the debaters was then given the seven minutes for rebuttals. From an oratorical standpoint Mr. Grauer was generally conceded to be the best speaker of the evening, although his performance was hardly up to his last year's standard.

Poor Combination Shown Last Saturday The Varsity senior A hoop squad suffered a heavy defeat on Saturday night when they met the Y. M. C. A., 1923 Champs on their home floor. The final score was 23-9. From the opening whistle the Y. M. played their usual cool, steady game, missing very few chances to score. Shiles, Ralston and Priest, were outstanding for the winners. The Varsity men were unable to get their team work started and with the exception of Gord Lewis everyone was out of form. Toward the end of the first half Varsity showed signs of pulling together a little better and the half ended with the score 11-6 in favor of the Y. M. C. A. In the second half Bassett, Grauer and Hartley substituted but Varsity was unable to hold the wily veteran souad. The teams were: Y. M. C. A.—Phipps (4), Phillips, Shiles (9), Priest (5), Ralston (5), 1 uck. Hand. Varsity—Lewis (3), Wilkinson (3), Grauer, Carlisle (2), Hartley, Bassett, Bickell (1), Butler. Referees E. L. Yeo. TER A BASKETBALL. Varsity's Inte£m£dial£__llA" Basketball squad dropped a close game to St. Marks on Monday night by a score •of—Hr--2=r: The game was much more even than the score indicates as Var sity trailed the Saints closely till the last few minutes when the Church boys drew ahead. Varsity could not get going in the first, few minutes and the score stood 11-1 against them. Then Varsity came to life and drew up till the score was 12-10. The half ended 19-14. The second half was fairly even till the last 10 minutes, Varsity always a few points behind. St. Marks began to find the basket and the TJ. B. C. five finished on the short end of 41-24. The Teams: Varsity—Arkley (6), Gross (9), Galloway (3), Gordon (5), Mottlea (1), Schultz. Total 24. St. Marks--Stevenson (8), Code (17), Abernethy (12), Calvert (2), Edwards (2). Total 41. ^SENIOR B BASKETBALL The Varsity men's Senior R five won an easy victory when they defeated the Senior Normal team last Friday night by a score" of 54-14. The Normals put up a good fight but were no match for Varsity who took the game from the opening whistle. Varsity played very good combination and with superior shooting ran up a score of thirty points in the first half. In the second half the Normals rallied and for five minutes the play was even but Varsity again broke away and the Normal guards could not nokl the fast Varsity forwards. The period closed with Varsity on the long end of a 54-14 scor HOCKEY The Varsity Intermediate Hockey team was defeated at the arena on Friday, January 19, by ex King George to the tune of six goals lu une.—Tire first part of the game opened with the University men playing well, when the first goal was scored by them. Towards the end of the game, play became ragged. One of the most interesting features of the game was tne accident which "befell" Mr. George Lipsey's trunks. Varsity's line-up was as follows Stoodley, Lipsey, Colton, Demidoff, McCutcheon, McPherson, Morgan and Newmarsh. / WOMEN'S BASKETBALL On Saturday night the Senior A girls scored a momentous victory when they defeated the girls of the 47th battalion Adanacs. The score ~ws§ ITFS Indicating now hard-fought was the game. The Team—Isabel Russell, Isabel McKinnon, Doris Shorney, Grace Swencisky and "Patsy" Robinson.

However the senior A men, strengthened by the addition of Kenny Carlisle, and playing on their home floor expect to turn the tables on their American rivals. The first game will start at. 8:00 p.m. Following the second there will be dancing until midnight. A large crowd is expected. Come early and avoid the rush. Saturday atternoon last, at Athletic Park, Varsity defeated Y. M. C. A. by the seore of 19-11. Although~There were very few out to see the game a good brand of Rugby was played.

Another evidence of the growth of the University, both in importance and in the number of courses given, is the fact that an educational or teachers' training course, has been established within it. The need for such a course has been felt for some time past; and when, last August, the Educational Department expressed a desire that the University lake over the training of graduates in this respect, the Senate consented, feeling that while this was an important undertaking, the University could do a great service to the province by assuming it. The action of the Senate has met with general approval, and there is no doubt that the advantages and benefits accruing from such a course will fully recompense the University for undertaking it. This "Faculty of Education" furnishes the graduates with a more complete and thorough training than they were given formerly. There are two divisions of the work, the Public School part, undertaken by the Provincial Normal School and concluded by Christmas, and the High School part, composed of lectures on method, and teaching which will be practised at the King Edward High School. Dr. Weir, a man with wide experience in such matters, has been chosen as the lead of this new Department. MacGill has a similar department, and Toronto has a College of Education. This University has as thorough an Educational Department as either of these, from the standpoint of the work that is being attempted. It is hoped that'in the future the University's participation will expand to take charge of the whole course, and thus establish a complete Department of Education, she is unable to occupy within the space of an hour, or even half an hour, has somehow or other a twisted view of things. We would suggest that any person who happens to be situated next to a pile of books wmen have been lying "in wait" upon the table for some time, should place a little note between the leaves with words upon it to this effect: "Please remember the people sitting upon the radiators." Perhaps something a little milder would be more effective. And speaking of seats in the Reading Room we would like to drop a hint to the professors. As everyone knows, that place of learning is almost always crowded, especially around examination times. The result is that if you wish to get a seat you must get there early. Now when some hard working professor takes an extra minute or so to finish up a lecture it means that some hard working student is unable to find a place to study in during the next hour. A word to the wise is sufficient. t*o SEATS IN THE READING ROOM There are a number of students who are in the habit, of going up to the Reading Room, depositing their books at a vacant place, tilting up the chair, and walking off to attend a lecture, thus securing for themselves a place upon their return. Now we do not wish to remind the students in the words of the old hackneyed phrase that "this is unfair to your fellow students," but we mean it nevertheless. The man or the woman who will go into the Reading Room and knowing that seats are at a premium, will monopolize a place which he or OMEN'S DEBATES. Only once in our history has there been a women's international debate when, in 1922, two U. B. C. women met the challenge of Willamette University in Salem, Oregon. Last year there was a proposal to meet them again, but it was rejected in view of the fact that the American women would undertake it only on condition that the subject be the Ruhr question, a resolution on which the U. B. C. men had already met California. At tne present time negotiations are under way to meet the same university on the same old subject—the occupation of the Ruhr. The Willamette women are not prepared to debate on any other question, so that either we must invite the public to hear our women deal with a theme which has in if nothing new to commend it, or we must wait till some future date when a more appropriate question may be considered, with some other university. Cannot the women inuuee California, Washington, Idaho, or any representative and well-established university, whose name will convey something to the public mind, to match wits with them on the platform? When our women place upon themselves a higher value, when they are ready to face one of the bigger universities on a public question which will be of interest to all, not in a debate which cannot but be a repetition of a last season's performance, we may expect an interest in it to be manifested within the walls of this university, as well as by the public at large. ^READING ROOM DILEMMAS. People who talk in the Reading Room are of two classes: those you know and those you don't know. You can't ask your acquaintances to stop talking, because they know you, and you can't ask the others, because yo* don't know them to speak to, anyway. If you do ask the noisy ones to be quiet, one of two things will happen; either they will stop or else they won't. It they stop, someone else will begin, if they don't stop—what's the use of asking them? Hut after all the people who talk are doing a very useful work, since one of two things must happen; either you ask them to desist, or else you don't. If you do, the unpleasant task develops your will-power; if you don't, and try to ignore the noise, it develops your powers of concentration. NANCY LEE. \\ STUART WALKER COMING. A rare treat 'will be, afforded all those interested in the drama when the Stuart Walker company will give two performances at the Orpheum on Tuesday, January 29th.
