To the massed graduating class in^ ' thc university armory, Chancellor Erie W. Hamber proclaimed: "I admit you and all whose names have at this time been presente." In previous years, before tlie university's mushroom growth, the Mr. Hamber had tapped each graduate with his hood and repeated "I admit you." In succession, graduates received hoods individually from the President. But because this year's class topped all others in the university's history, graduates received hoods in advance and rose in a body to be "admitted," Following the congregational address by His Excellency the .Governor-General, the class trooped across the armory stage, ■ bowed to Chancellor Hamber and President Norman MacKenzie, then took their blue bound diplomas from Registrar Charles B. Wood. Highlight of the colorful pageant of graduation was the presentation to His Excellency Viscount Alexander of an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. A massed choir of students, faculty members gowned in variegated robes and the packed audience of graduates and parents heard Canada's soldier Governor-General lauded by President MacKenzie. Two UBC Students Win Scholarships Two top honors students in the Department of Physics at University of British Columbia have won scholarships which will help them to proceed with graduate study in the field of physical research. Morton Mitchener, 1412 Devonshire Crescent, Vancouver, has been awarded a $400 scholarship by Harvard University and will travel to the east late this summer to take up his studies there. A Teaching Fellowship valued at $1100 has been awarded to T. H. Edwards, R.R. No. 1 Chilliwack, by the University of Michigan. Edwards, a married veteran of World War II, obtained the outstanding mark of 98% on his graduate examination. His ultimate goal is work in electronics. Education Costs Blamed For Boosts In UBC Fee The rising cost of education was blamed for the $25 increase in sessional fees that UBC students will face when they return in September to face the 1948-49 session. The added fees mean that arts, science, commerce and agriculture students will pay $205 and law and applied science students will have a $255 fee levied on them.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF - DONALD FERGUSON EIDTOR THIS ISSUE: JIM BANHAM The nor "I ADMIT YOU.. n With the oracularly pronounced "I admit you" 1400 new graduates of the University of B.C. saw the end of their undergraduate days and the beginning of the careers which, lie in their futures. The act of graduating amid the splendor of the variegated faculty robes, the sober-faced choir, the throng of dewy-eyed parents and the rustle of 1400 graduate gowns and hoods is a little stunning to most of the customers. It represents the last and final chapter of college days, with the suggestions of studies and exams, of cooked labs and copied essays, of over-due library books and raided carrels, of parties and love-affairs, of bus queues and caf queues; all of which will be mentally filed away and labelled "the best years of my life." Perhaps the most stunning aspect of the ceremony is the stark realization that student days are over and the time has come to look after yourself. Carefully planned careers go amiss, hoped-for jobs fail to measure up to expectations and all-pervading is a feeling of finality — that what you are about to do will make a huge difference to the course of your life and that a decision must now stand a very long time. In the unsure times of the present day graduates are indeed to be congratulated for their tenacity in winning the old academic fight. On behalf of the undergraduates, and on our own behalf, The Daily Ubyssey is proud to extend these congratulations and to toss in a sincere hope for good fortune in the alumni years of the class of 1948. CLASS PROPHECY By PAUL WRIGHT 1968: Here we are again after twenty years of buffeting on the stormy seas of life. Some have weathered the storms and the calms, very well, while others are coming apart at the seams. However the class of '48 was well known for its stamina; there is really nothing the matter with us today that a few weeks in drydock won't remedy. It is my purpose as class prophet, however, to refer to our present state of repair or disrepair; my purpose today is to review the phophecy that was made on that truly memorable day twenty years ago, to test its validity, and to discard those sections which time has proven to be incorrect. You will recall the prophecy as it was read twenty years ago today. While you, the class of '48 settled yourself back comfortably in cafeteria type chairs supplied from Frank Underbill's large stock pile, and soothed yourself with popsicles purchased from profits enjoyed by the council of that year, I mounted to the dias and read the following: "The omens have been duly examined, the stars have been searched, the entrails have been sifted, and the cards have been scanned ... I do now state irrevocably and beyond retraction that Fortune will serve certain of our classmates in strange and devious ways. The fates have decreed that Nora Clarke will, in 1952, lead a new suffragette movement successfully campaigning for no votes for men. Don Ferguson are newsman, will turn up in China as the editor-in-chief of the biggest inflation dollar plant in the Orient. Joan and Patricia Christian, our fair haired twins, will have been the cause of thirty-seven minor automobile accidents, and one hundred and nineteen cases of mild delirium tremens suffered by unfortunates who thought they were seeing double. Gwynn Griffiths will be given a social case work assignment with the African Ubangis and will make a fortune selling lipstick as a sideline. Alan McGili oA the basis of his activities on behalf of international relations on this campus will be given the task of designing a United Nations flag. He will then have a nervous breakdown trying to arrange a bulldog, a hammer and sickle, and an eagle in an interesting design. Taddy Knapp will blossom into a criminologist and will write seventeen books on the habits of juvenile delinquent boys. Maxine McClung and Teena Howard will open rival model agencies and fashion salons. They will both go out of business when the Sunbathing Association persuades the Canadian people that the bathing suit is unhealthily confiining. Don Stainsby and John Wardroper will co-edit the first picture magazine with harmonizing perfume. Their best selling edition will be one featuring North American wild flowers, but (Continued on Page 7) President's Message Perhaps the most interesting message that I can write for the graduation number of "The Ubyssey" is one about some of our current plans and problems, The first of these is financial. While the Provincial and Dominion Governments and private citizens as well have been generous in their treatment of the University, the facts are that we have grown so fast and the costs of labour, materials, equipment, etc. have risen so greatly that we are finding it extremely difficult to meet the legitimate needs of the various faculties and departments. Despite the increases in the Provincial Grant, the per capita contribution of each student and even on behalf of each civilian student is considerably less than it was in the 1920s. The per capita contributions made by the citizens of British Columbia to the costs of higher education in the province are less than they were in the 1920's and the percentage of the provincial revenue, which is paid to the university by way of grant, is also less, Fees, on the other hand, have increaed botsh actually and proportionately. Compared with other institutions in Canada, we are better off in these respects than Manitoba but not as well off as Alberta, Toronto, McGill and Western. It is, of course, difficult to make accurate comparisons between Institutions, as different in their organization and set-up as these vari cost $811, 455.68 plus a special award of 8125,000.00 made to the contractors by Mr. Justice Sidney Smith, acting as a special commissioner. (This award has been paid by the Government out of the five million dollar appropriation). The Power House is approaching completion at a cost of $331,673.18 - an increase of $31^673.18 over the original estimate. A wing to the Library is nearing completion and is expected to cost $763,174.80; the Applied Science Building is being proceeded with at a revised estimate of $744,820.54; and the buildings and land clearing for Agriculture have cost to date $159,636.20. In addition" $600,000.00 has been allocated to the Biological Sciences and Pharmacy; $750,000.00 for Bacteriology and Preventive Medicine; $50,000.00 promised to the Memorial Gymnasium Fund in lieu of an extension to present gymnasium; a balance of $40,000.00 is earmarked for Agriculture; $250,000.00 for services to buildings in the Biological and Medical area of the campus; $250,000.00 toward the provision of facilities for the medicai sciences and a small balance of about $124,000.00 for other services connected with, the Medical Faculty, This leaves a.s urgent needs residences for men and women, a first-class dining room or cafeteria to replace the 'Caf and emergency eating places on the campus; a building for Home Economics; and an Arts Building. Then there are other items like a Museum, a building for the Fine Arts, the reconversion of certain of the existing permanent buildings to more modern needs and, finally, the additional amounts that will be necessary before the Faculty of Medicine is properly housed and equipped. It should also be noted that the amount allocated at present building costs will not complete the Applied Science Building, the Biological Sciences Building or the building for Bacteriology and Preventive Medicine and, while all of the space in these, buildings and in the new wing of the Library will be used and used to advantage, they will all need to be finished and properly ous universities are, but my own conclusion is that the Province I equipped in due course. No doubt other interesting needs will of British Columbia has been getting better university education \\ occur to others as the university grows and develops. These for less money contributed by the province or by any of the needs, too, will have to be met. The programme which I have GREETINGS TO THE GRADS OF'48 • Wc have served you dining your Varsity years • May wc continue to serve you In your Business and Professional vcars that will follow your graduation. "Printing for Every Purpose' Anderson Printing Co. LIMITED PA. 5838 HAMILTON ST. VANCOUVER, BC citizens of the province, (except the students themselves), than any other Canadian province. The costs of higher education are particularly heavy in the faculties and departments which seem to be of greatest practical and direct material benefit to the province and to the people of it, e.g., Agriculture, Engineering and all its branches, Forestry, Fisheries and the Sciences. Substantial private endowments would be a great benefit to the University of British Columbia, not only because of the income which would be derived from these endowments, but because in my opinion diverse sources of revenue make fpr the maximum freedom in operation and teaching. Apart from endowment, my hope is that we will be able to get at least $300.00 from the Provincial Government and Legislature each year for every duly qualified student that enrolls with us. The alternatives to this are to limit the number of opportunities for education which we offer, thus limiting the number of students who can enroll, or provide a second rate standard of education for those in attendance. Our second major problem is that of providing buildings and equipment that are reasonably fireproof and permanent for our expanding student body. Most of the accommodation at the university is semi-permanent frame and stucco construction. These buildings are not fireproof and will have to be replaced after they have served another twenty or thirty years. These, together with the existing permanent buildings, were dsigned to accommodate from 2,000 to 2,500 students. While we will lose all of, our veteran students in due course, our normal enrollment after they leave will probably level off at between 4,000 and 5,000, and will continue to grow from that total. We planned in 1944 and 1945 to add the following buildings at the estimated cost indicated: A new building for the Department of Physics $500,000.00 A new wing to the Library 600,000.00 A new building for Arts 500,000,00 Residences 450,000.00 The Biological Sciences 500,000.00 The Bacteriology and Preventive Medicine 500,000.00 An extension to the present Gymnasium 50,000.00 Additions to buildings for Applied Science 300,000.00 Additions and land clearing in Agriculture 200,000.00 Home Economics 100,000.00 Extension to Power Plant 300,000.00 If it were decided to form a Faculty of Medicine, it was estimated that we would need in addition to the $500,000.00 for Bacteriology and Preventive Medicine, $500,000.00 for the medical sciences on the campus and another $500,000.00 for various purposes connected with that faculty. These amounts made no provision for the necessary services, such as roads, sewers, water, heat, light, power ,etc, which had to be brought into these buildings as they were constructed. The Provincial Government very generously in the Spring of 1945 arranged that five million dollars should be made available for this permanent building programme. At 1944 building costs the construction engineers that we employed to draw block plans estimated that we could provide most of the buildings at the prices indicated. In the interval three things have happened: the costs of construction have nearly doubled, a great deal of emergency accommodation in huts has been made available and the pattern of our student enrollment has changed. These necessitated certain changes in our building programme and the Board of Governors acting on recommendations from a large committee of some 60 members, consisting of Deans, Heads of Departments, representatives of the Alumni and Alumnae, the student body, the Senate, and the Board of Governors, authorized the' construction, first, of the Physics Building; second, the Power House; third, the new Library wing; fourth, the Applied Science Building; fifth, various buildings and a land clearing programme for the Faculty of Agriculture. The Physics Building is now completed and has actually indicated above will give some idea of how much remains to be done at the present time to equip this University properly for the work that the public expects it to do. Finally, a word about the proposed Medical Faculty: there te unanimous agreement that both the capital and operating costs of this faculty will be high. There is equal unanimity that unless the Province can afford a first-class Medical School it would be better off without one. The Government and Legislature in the session which has just ended stated that they would be prepared to contribute $350,000.00 annually toward the operating costs of the Medical School and indicated too, that this contribution would be in addition to the amounts necessary for other departments and faculties at the University and would not in any way interfere with their legitimate claims for adequate funds for growth and expansion. This annual grant, together with the fees of the 250 students in Medicine that may be enrolled, should provide us with enough money annually to make a good beginning' At least another million and a half capital, however, will be needed for buildings on the campus for this faculty and in addition someone will have to provide and maintain suitable teaching facilities in connection with a hospital. The University, in agreement with the opinions of a number of distinguished authorities, who came to Vancouver at our request and advised us about these matters, would like to have the teaching hospital on the University campus. Some others in the province seem to prefer that these facilities should be established in connection with the Vancouver General Hospital and other Vancouver Hospitals. This, while not as satisfactory from our point of view, will in my opinion, enable us to start a Medical School and to maintain a reasonably good one, provided these facilities are adequate and the costs of establishing and maintaining them are taken care of. These, then, are some of the problems and plans which the University administration and teaching staff are concerned with and which I thought might be of special interest to those who may read your graduation number.

Cal Whitehead and Beverley Wilson will develop a baby sitting agency to a high peak of perfection. Cal will design a new type of diaper called the eternal triangle, and Beverly will specialize in teaching new born infants Hamet's soliloquy before they can say 'Mama.' Bill McKay will take a croquet team to the 1957 Olympics held in Timbuctoo, and will coach this team to victory over all comers. Chester Taylor will be called the fair-haired boy on Broadway. He will stage all the best musicals for the next fifteen years, and taper off gradually in his old age till he is head window trimmer at Kresge's. Ron Grantham and Fred Lipsett will discover a way to remove Ripple Rock from the shipping I lane, and will work for twenty years afterwards to discover a way to fill in the hole they make in the process. Cut Cunningham will make a fortune as a «riminal lawyer, and will discover that he can make twice as much modeling Cunningham crew cuts in New York. Perry Millar and Jean White will both compete for position as head of the supreme court. Perry will concede the victory because of old fashioned courtesy, and will instead take a post as justice-of-the-peace at Niagara Falls, where he will gain the world's record for mass marriages by uniting, with the help of a loudspeaker, seven hundred and sixty-five betrothed couples at a single ceremony.

These are the prophecies, indisputable, unchangeable, and true beyond all shadow of doubt. In general it may safely be said that all members of the Class of '48 will be either "famous or notorious." Looking around us today, fellow classmates, in the year 1968, we cannot help but be struck with the uncanny accuracy of this prophecy. Regard the classmate on your left—famous, unmistakeably famous. Glance swiftly at the classmate on your right. It is whispered that he is indeed notorious. Twenty year ago the oracle spoke. We can question the words of the oracle. Great terrible things were prophesied. They have all, without exception, "come to pass.

Gage, prof, of mathematics, will as- I sume in addition the duties of Dean of Administrative and Inter-Faculty Affairs, Dr, J. Roy Daniells, professor of nEglish, has been appointed new head of the Department of English. Dr. Daniells, who came to UBC in September 1946, graduated from this university. He took his Ph.D. at Dr. Daniel Buchanan, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science and head of the Department of Mathematics, concludes 28 years of association with UBC. He has been professor, dean, and on occasion, acting president. He was head of the Department of Mathematics for 22 years and dean of Arts for nearly 20 years. He is a member of the American Mathematical Association and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Dr. G. G.

He later studied for a time at Harvard where he obtained the degree Aggie, Geography Students Jump From Pan to Fire Have you ever leaned back after a job was done and then, that very same instant, have someone come up and hand you another?

On completion of a two course, the students a in of Doctor of Philosophy in English. He taught in the U.S. before returning to the UBC. Recently he has published a number of radio broadcasts which he had been called upon to participate in from time to time during his long teaching career. Since October 1942 he has been chairman of the university committee on honorary degrees. Dr. Sedgewick is said to be pne of the great authorities on the Elizabethan period of English literature on this continent. Dr. Isabel Maclnnes head of the Department of German, first associated with UBC as an instructor in the days when it was still McBill University College, was appointed professor of German in 1943. She became head of the Department of German when it was created from the old Department of Modern Languages in 1946. Dr. Robert H. Clark, after a brilliant academic career in Canada and at Leipzig, taught in American universities from 1909 to 1916. He came to UBC as an assistant professor in the latter year. During World War II he directed research on a number of problems suggested by the armed forces. Angus MacLucas, retiring bursar, who came to the university in 1916 as a member of the book-keeping staff, succeeded to the post of bursar in 1934, on the retirement of the late Fred Dallas. A. B.

"See you on the 12th!" called pilot Jim Harty, DFC, former RCAF bomber pilot, to his young wife and five-year-old daughter Judy. His companions were Dave Brousson, UBC Alma Mater Society president, and Grant Livingstone, last year's campus president. Sixty universities will be represented at the conference, with UBC 1he only Canadian "varsity" to attend. After the conference, which lasts from May 7 to 9, the fliers hope to go to Forth Worth to attend the Inter-Collegiate Air Meeting at Texas Christian University . . . "if our money holds out," grinned Jim Harty. Their plane, a Piper super cruiser, was provided and equipped by the UBC Flying Club. Math Out In Changes Next Session Two New Profs Added to Teach Announcement that Mathematics 100 is no longer compulsory for all Artsmen marked the highlight of this year's regulation and course changes. The course will remain compulsory for students enrolling in Chemistry, Physics, Geography and allied subjects but an extra language course may be substituted by other students. A new course, Mathematics 90, has been added since Math VI is no longer compulsory in high school. CHARGE LATECOMERS Late registration fee will now be $10.00 inst'ead of $2.00 and a fee of $2.00 will be charged for course changes whereas no fee was previously charged. Two new lecturers, Mr. Ping-Ti Ho of the Chinese National Tsing Hua University and Mr. Geoffrey Davies of Canterbury, have been added to the Department of International Studies making possible new courses in Chinese external policy British Commonwealth relations. A new course for Home Economics students is announced by the Department of Bacteriology and Preventi- tive Medicine. NUMBER CHANGE New courses in advanced Physiology and Cytology are offered by the Department of Biology. The department also announces several changes in course numbers in the field of Genetics. Botany courses in Forest Pathology have been eliminated and new courses in Economic Flora and Taxonomy added. Graduate courses in Electrochemistry and Organic relations will be offered in 1948-49. Off the schedule are courses in Chemistry for teachers and Chem. 310, a course in quantitative analysis. Commerce students will be offered a Vk unit course in airline traffic. EXPORT CANADA'S FINEST CIGARETTE // Who Gives a Damn a Students Wax Bitter; Resent Fee Increases By DOUG MURRAY-ALLAN Feelings of resentment, indifference and sarcasm, were expressed by students concerning the recent fee' increase, when interviewed by a Daily Ubyssey Reporter last week. The majority of students felt that the increase was necessary from the point of view of the rising cost of living, however all of them had comments and suggestions to make as an alternate to the increase. CUT STAFF One grad student suggested sweeping cuts in staff, pointing out the prevailing conditions in the Physics department. Some instructors he stated have virtually been unemployed during the past month, although they have been receiving their full salary. Grant Livingstone, retiring AMS president stated that "this is just another feature of inflation, and I don't think the university can help it. However I do believe that it is getting away from the idea of free tuition which was originally the basis of this Provincial University." DIFFICULT FOR WORKER Jim Sanderson, a graduating commerce student said that it would be very difficult for some students who have to depend on summer work to get through next year. A second year Arts student commented that "if the increase in fees is paralleled by a decrease in the size of lectures, its all right with me." Laura Haahti, third year Arts, stated that, "I don't think any student is so destitute that twenty- five dollars would stop him from enrolling. At the most about a quarter of an average month's salary for a summer job." CHARGE OUTSIDERS One student was of the opinion that out of province students should be charged higher fees. "These students," he stated, "are being supported by our taxpayers, and since they do not reside within our province I do not believe that they should be given the benefit of our educational institutions on the same basis as those students who are B.C. residents. One grad student quipped "I don't give a damn if they raise the fees a hundred dollars, I'm not coming back here next year any how."

In speaking for the 1400, I realize that the year of graduation is one of the few dates we have in common; for those who registered in 1943 and '44 were only interested spectators of the transformation which accommodated those who registered in '45 and '46. But although our interests have been greatly.varied during our college years, still we take pride as a whole in the accomplishments of UBC and of our fellow-students . Since it is a young university, UBC's yearly growht in almost every field is only natural, but the impact of the war and post-war era created extraordinary demands on the Point Grey campus as on every campus throughout the world. However, the Montreal Standard's lengthy article is evidence that the remarkable and memorable achievements of President MacKenzie and his faculty and administration command the admiration not only of the province but of the whole of Canada. In 1944 the curriculum still included compulsory military training and Red Cross service; but with the influx of returning service men and women, courses were accelerated, classrooms were overcrowded and the now-familiar huts appeared on the campus. Further consideration was given to the increased enrollment by continuous attempts to furnish new courses and new faculties so that this year witnesses the second graduating class of the Home Economics department and the first valid graduating class of Dean Curtis' Law faculty. Despite the swollen registration causing the spotlight to rest on academic pursuits, UBC's traditional student endeavors— athletic, social, cultural and administrative — have not been ignored. Rather ,student activity has reached an all-time high, paralleling the growth of the student body and participated in equally as well by the veterans as by the average-aged university student. Sports have prospered and gained in importance since the war's end to the extent that the athletic directorates now have exclusive control of their own finances. "Bigger and better" symphony and jazz concerts, guest artists' programs, plays, operettas, and speeches, have been the entertainment fare of the UBC student. The opening of the Radio Society's ultramodern studios, the establishment of the university branch of the Canadian Legion, of Acadia, Fort, Wesbrook and Little Mountain Camps, the launching of the War Memorial Gymnasium Drive, and the increased leadership which UBC student government officials have given in Canadian and American college associations — all these are factors in student extracurricular life.

We salute our most distinguished fellow-graduates, Dean Bucanan and Dr. Sedgewick, and wish them all success and happiness. Since 1916, UBC has fostered every activity worthy of undergraduate or graduate upport. Its history is short, but it is such that each of us is proud today, and will in the future count it an honor to hold degrees from the University of British Columbia. The Class of '48 has been fortunate in being a part of the university's transition from war to peace with its consequent rebirth of ideas and efforts. As heirs of a vigorous, | growing, human institution, we hope that we have added to that growth. And now we leave our Alma Mater, confident that her influence will never be weakened by any lack of love or loyalty on the part of the student body, certain that she will grow with every passing year, and hopeful that the contributions of the '48 graduates will not soon be forgotten.

MAMOOK MEMBER In 1944, although busy beginning his applied science course, he managed to hold down two presidencies, those of his own engineers' class and of the Mamooks. His classmates chose him as their leader the following yebr as well, a year that marked his first and last venture into campus- wide politics. In that instance he ran and was e- lected to the position of USC chairman. But a post-election investigation found him ineligible under the existing AMS regulations, since he was only in his third university year. Two most notable events in Grantham's third year engineering were his election to UBC's honorary fraternity, Sigma Tau Chi, and his trip as president-elect of the EUS to the Toronto conference of the Engineer's Institute of Canada. EUS PREXY Heading EUS this year, Grantham played no small part in student government, upholding and defending t'he cause of the group he represented. He championed the engineers early last fall when they were allotted what they considered to be an insufficient budget. His whole-hearted, let's-get-behind- and-push spirit is exemplified by the March of Dimes campaign he engineered this year. All told, the Crippled Children's Fund benefitted by more than 600 dollars from the drive. Peppery Council Member Chosen 'Co-ed of Year* Since Nora Clarke arrived at university, she has inevitably had her finger in "the pie" of most campus activities. Sensationalist of the year, she became the basis of a great controversy when she staged a walk-out at a council meeting in defense of the future editor of the Daily Ubyssey, later handing in her resignation as president of the Women's Undergraduate Society. Said Miss Clarke, "My robes did not catch in the door, and I do not think it was a childish action.' Nora's ability of leadership .goes DUECK CHEVROLET OLDSMOBILE LTD. 1305 WEST BROADWAY B A yview 4 6 61 G1NGE f\\LtLj Goes With Everything back to the good old days at "Vic High," where, in her last year she was elected vice-president of the student council, appointed editor of the school paper, "Camoson," and became one of those famed diciplin- arians, commonly known as a perfect. She not only held .these three offices, but she was able to win the women's public speaking pin( and the newspaper pin. Thus arriving at the University of British Columbia this ambitious girl with the ironical sense of humour started her career after being elected president of first-year girls which gave her a seat on WUS. Later she was chosen for (he first Fall Ball Committee and finally ended the year by having a "sup" in Beginner's Spanish. By second year. Nora was president of Second Year Arts, was chosen chairman of the Sophomore Prom, and later the Junior-Senior Prom. In the Mock Parliament session, she sat in for the Retrogressive Progressive Party that had the slogan, "Look j back to go forward." To Nora, third year was perhaps the most exciting for her. As vice- president of WUS and secretary for the co-ordinator of activities, "Buzz" Walker, she became a member of the honorary sorority. Delta Sigma Pi. On thc committee for the Western Canadian Universities Beauty Contest she was chosen in the final eight for Beauty Queen. This to Nora is extremely funnny as Buzz only put her name in for a "gag." At the end of this most successful year, with the help of Gerry MacDonald, it was she that was responsible for getting a well-known architect to come and look over the foundation of the Brock basement for the extension of the Radio Society. It was also she that inaugurated the "Council at Home" for the Frosh Reception. Thus passing into fourth year it was only natural that Nora should be elected President of WUS, and as a member of i'he Students Council this gal caused a riot when she walked out of their regular meetings concerning the .ratification of the editor of the Ubyssey. Taking a double major in English and History, with a minor in sociology, Nora hopes to take her Master's Degree at the University of Washington. HER CHARM mixed with firecracker personality which made her storm center of UBC campus politics won for Nora Clarke title of "Woman of the Year." BEST WISHES TO THE GRADUATING CLASS JOHN McKINNON B.

According to the local moguls, this season's American football has been successful in that the Thunderbirds managed to move away from the league cellar. After a no-win year in their first season at American grid, the 'Birds came back to win one and dropped two very close contests that gave the fans a little hope of things to come. At lt»e initial opening of the season last September, some 70 odd players had drawn strip. From these, Coach Greg Kabat was able to pick a team with plenty of prospects. The lads who remained throughout the season developed into strong seasoned football players and gained the experience that is so necessary to future success. NEW TALENT This year, when spring-training- time came around, newer faces added to the team of the future. The older and more seasoned players were able to help the new-comers and taught them the "tricks of the trade." According to those who know coach Kabat haa done a marvelous, job in teaching the rudiments of football. There was so much to teach in such a short time that he was forced to specialize his players, He used one team for the offensive and another for defensive. STARS LEAVE Many of those who played last year will return next year, but Bill Pearson, John Gray, John Caplette, Fred Joplin, Harry Mark and Herb Copozzi will graduate this spring. As Olympic Itials Near The Thunderbird Track Team, defending Conference champions, rolled to an impressive victory in their first meet of the season last Saturday, May 8, at the University Oval. Outscoring their opposition in both the track and field events, they beat out a strong Seattle team composed of University of Washington thinclads, 48-38. Teams from Victoria, the Vancouver Owls Club* and the Pacific Athletic Club finished behind Seattle in that order with 19, 18 and 12, points respectively.

UBC DIVOTERS TRAVEL SOUTH FOR TOURNEYS After a successful opening ef their season, the UBC divaters left home last weekend fer distant greens. They will be gone for more than a week. With victories ever College ©f Paget Sound and Western Washington already behind them, the Blue and Gold golfers are heading for competition in Tacoma where they will play a return match with the Loggers fnom CPS. From there, the divoters travel south to Portland where they will meet University of Portland. Ihe final tourney of the tour will be played in Salem( Oregon, when Khe 'Birdmen take part In the Pacific Intercollegiate Conference meet on the home grounds of Willamette University. With sprinter Chick Turner sidelined with a sore leg, the 'Birds failed to win a single track event, but built up an overwhelming lead in the three weight events with three firsts, two seconds, a third and two fourths. This coming Saturday, the 'Birds have their first dual meet since the War with the University of Washington's powerful Freshman team. The meet will see the return to action of Chick Turner and Dave Blair, the UBC star sprinter and hibh jumper respectively. Distance stars Pat Minchin and Bob Piercy will be doubling up in the mile and two mile. At the Conference Meet in Walla Walla on May 22, the team's chances of retaining the championship may hinge on Russ Hoy, the Intramural champion, being available. In lasV Saturday's meet, the half- mile with Al Bain and Doug Knott entere, was the best race of the day. Bain took the lead at the end of the first quarter and held Jack Hutchins of the Owls Club off until the final rurn. Ez Henniger was nosed out 'in a driving finish in the 440 by Earl Robinson, University of Washington's star, in 50.9" but came back later to run the anchor leg in the mile relay in 49.8" for the fastest quarter of the day. Effects of the examination lay-off showed up as Pat Michin followed Hutchins around in the mile to fonlsh 35 yards behind and Bob Piercy dropped behind Pete Salmond in the two- mile after four laps. Salmond went on to set a new Canadian record of 9* 41.6" and Piercy finished in 9' 55" well below the Conference records. John Pavelich led the team with thirteen points. Russ Hoy, the 'mural champ, also showed well, throwing the Javekin further than me best Canadian performance of 1947. In the mile relay the 'Birds came very close to the flying Seattle team but placed second despite the efforts of Henniger in the. final stretch. EDITORIAL By DICK BLOCKBERGER It seems that there are three things that should go in the editorial on. the Sports Page of this year's Graduation Issue of the Daily Ubyssey.1 And they're all important and sincere. Firstly, there should be a word of "good luck" to those who are graduating from dear old UBC this year. It is our sincere hope that the education you have received on our campus will bring you success and good fortune. i We also hope that you won't forget the Blue and Gold, nor the teams that wear those colors out there on the field of battle. We want you to come back often and always to follow the 'Birds. Secondly, we should let you all know that we feel that we have completed i very successful year in the world of sport. If we had the space, we could say something nice about every team on the campus. Yes, it's been a great year, and we want you to know that we feel that next year is going to be even better. And then, my third point. Just as it has been a fine year in athletics, K> has it been an excellent year on the sports desk .We've had lots of grief and lots of fun, but somehow we always managed to hit the deadline. Perhaps it was because your sports editor had a great bunch of guys and gals around the desk. All that can be said is — "Thanks." Happy summer, all.

All Jobs Done Under Superb Supervision We heve the feels Yeii Finish the Jeh Thursday, May 13, 1948 THE DAILY UBYSSEY PAGE 15 ca ii - em Bl LAURIE DYER THE SHOW MUST GO ON I walked into Room 103, Semi-private, at the Vancouver General the other day, to find "Rickie" Blockberger, our little old sports editor, lying flat on his back and having to admit that he was not quite all there. Actually, I wasn't too surprised because that was what I expected to find. You see, a little birdie had 'phoned and told me that the poor lad was dying to see me. I must admit that at first I couldn't figure out why he wanted to see me instead of a cute little blonde friend of mine who happens to be one of the better nurses down at VGH, but my alert mind soon had the problem solved. Not only did I know that he had lost his appendix, I also knew that we was going to lie there groaning and beg me to put out the sports sheet of the graduation issue for him. Well I was right. And after all, what can a guy say in a case like that? The Bird Started It All But as I began to wonder what I was going to write about, I thought about the little bird that had got me into all his work by getting the right number when he phoned instead of the party line. (And I'm sure that Hartt Crosby, the English rugger star, would have made a very fine sports ed.) Anyhoo, the birdie was Lome Glendinning. He's always good for some copy. You know, that guy's started something. Lome was the wee lad that was mainly responsible for the addition to the campus sports scene of the Pep Club, an up-and- coming little organization if this humble scribe ever saw one. And a most necessary one too. Of course, Lome always has been a great one for that intangible stuff known to us all as "college spirit." In fict, given the proper conditions (preferably a small room with a locked door and the keys in Lome's pocket), he would talk Ihe hind leg off a freshman in his efforts to put across his ideas about this all-important feature of any healthy university. And He Was Just In Time But the good part about the whole story is that Lorro came along just when he was most needed. You see, when a College has the enrollment that we have, and an athletic board that wants to progress along with the rest of the university, we need very badly just such a pep club as Mr. Glendinning and hiscon- federates are planning. It fits right in with the program in which UBC is detply entrenched at the present moment. I mean, after all, vjhat kind of a football game would it be without lots of the old "l|h- rah" that should be a natural part of any college grid contest. Why, the very expression "college football" has a certain connotation of color, bands, and screaming students, plus those lonely creatures, the drum majorettes and the rhythmic movement of their, ah, baton. Ah yes, college football! What excitement! And from what the grid moguls say, we're going to have a team next year. Not that the lads did too badly during the past season, what with one win and two very close losses on the record. But when that1 team starts winning, and the kids start filling the blue and gold stadium, the "big brass band from Mr. Delamont" starts breaking into rousing marches, blue skies, green field, lots of blue and gold streaming out in the breeze ... They've Got A Job To Do And behind a great deal of the rah-rah that goes on that day will be Lome and his Pep Club members. See those guys and gals out there all dressed in white? They're the cheer leaders, and a sincere, hard-working lot they are too. And we up heve in the grandstand WANT to yell . . . look at those burly characters down there over the ball for the next play! Yes, the Pep Club has a great many jobs. It all adds up to a grand total of trying to put the spirit into college sport. And if you don't think there's a lot of work behind that kind of carrying on, you're way off the bit, brother. ' But Lome has problems. How are you going to teach 9000 students all the yells. And then how are you going to get them to follow cheer leaders, even if they are kind of cute! And how are you going to get 3000 freshmen to get behind those Varsity teams? How are you going to make them feel that they are part of UBC now, and that you want them to be proud of our boys and the colors they represent? We're Behind You, Lome Well, Lome still has a couple of years to work on thoso problems, but let me tell you, Lome, that the kids on this campu.s who are athletically inclined are right behind you. At times I wish I was going to be back next year to watch your progress. But don't think that I'm going to forget about the dear old Blue and Gold, Lome. I'll be there in my seat in the stadium when football season rolls around, and that goes for the 'Bird games on the basketball maples, too. And don't think I'll forget about the rugger lads who make us happy every year by bringing home all the silverware they can get their hands on. In fact, 1300 other graduates like myself will be keeping an eye on our old alma mater. We're going to be homesick for quite some while. Good luck, UBC. We want to hear from you and your teams . . . Beta's Retain Cup In'Mural Set-up | Beta Theta Pi Fraternity headed i list of 38 entries to cop the Intramural Athletic Championship for the second successive year.

In an interview with the Dail\\ Ubyssey, Wynne revealed that the Intramural setup had operated on -i sound financial basis during thc 1947-' 48 session, and would face the coming year with a considerable backlog of funds. The athletic program was reduced somewhat this year according to the diminutive and erstwhile Cloverleaf basketball • star. Touch football was slashed from the slai'e because of inclement weather, while the proposer! tennis tournament was shelved duo to insufficient time. PHYS. ED. ROMPS Phys Ed took the major share of the individual titles, sweeping to victories in the swimming meet, the boxing and wrestling tournament, and capturing the softball championship by a wide margin. The Phi Delts and the Scienceman each bagged two gonfalons, the fraternity lads nabbing the volleyball and basketball, and the redshirts powering t'o wins in the skiing and table tennis. The Legion managed to eke out a close win in the cross country bracket at the Annual Road Race in the fall. The badminton title fell to the Alpha Delt shuftlecockers, while Ihe Kappa Sigs and the Betas divided the Track title between them. Here are the standings: 1, Beta Theta Pi, 347%; 2.

BOB HAAS—One of the co-captains >f this years' Thunderbird hoop quintet was Bob Haas, the lofty pivot man who has dropped many a crucial point for the Blue and Gold. Playing with a bad ankle during a great part of the season, Bob has nevertheless held the 'Birds together and is well known for his great sportsmanship. HARRY KERMODE-The other co- captain of the 'Birdmen who won the Dominion Collegiate Championship in 1948 was the tall forward of the Varsity club, Harry Kermode. The calm, hard working Kermode has made a name for himself as a dependable, sharp-eyed ball player who could always be counted on in the clinches. PAT McGEER—A real mainstay of the 'Birds is young Pat McGeer, the leading scorer of the team and the winner of the Bobby Gaul Trophy for 1947-48, A crafty forward who knew how to make that left flipper work to perfection, Pat was one of the big guns throughout the Conference games and the Dominion finals.

(Okay, Dyer Pay me now!) the gospel . . . according to LUKE MOYLS AT THE POST When they drag an old sports columnist like myself out of retirement it's like bringing a plug out of pasture to run in the Kentucky Derby. But then, I once heard of a milk- wagon nag who returned his supporters (even all the old biddies who plunge with their two-buck show bets) with nothing but greenbacks when he won by a whisker in the third (or was it the flftf?) at Bay Meadows (or was it Suffolk Downs?) Anyway, I ain't saying you would be missing a good bet if you stopped reading this "form chart" right now( but when I get in with the typewriter jockeys anything can happer, and usually does! Laurie "Scoop" Dyer is responsible for the current round-up of us bunch of has-beens. Even "Frankly Speaking" Turner, a fine mudder in his day, is being called back into action. It seems I recall the Alumni putting him away to stud when I first took an interest' in horse-racing. Indirectly, it was my interest in this so-called "sport of kings" which put me through university. I used to be quite an authority in those days, for I followed the horses closely— with a bucket and shovel. THERE THEV GO Well, to get back to this guy Dyer, in collecting his stable of has-beens he rates me a hot chance over the 29-mile and one-sixteenth route. So I start out last September, and as I am pawing the turf, eager to break from Clay Puett's gate, who do I see but Greg "Hardrock" Kabat putting his Thunderbird gridders, through their pre-season paces on the infield, I forget to mention that none other than Dave "Happy Boy" Comparelli, MAD prexy, is my jockey, weighing in at 191 which is quite an impost for any thoroughbred to lug 29 and one-sixteenth miles. The bell rings, the gate flies open, and off we go to a hot start. But it is not till November 1st (Homecoming, remember?) that we grab the lead and move in on the rail as the UBC football heroes notch their first victory by shellacking Lewis & Clark College's Pioneers. AT THE TURN Rounding the Clubhouse turn, various other glue-factory prospects are giving me plenty of challenges, breathing hot on my neck as the Thunderbird basketballers swing into action. like Coach Bob Osborne's hopping hoopers, one minute I'm in front, and the next minute I'm not. But I catch my second wind as I go racing down the backstretch. That's when the rugger stalwarts start running loose. The Varsity fifteen wins all the silverware in sight and everything looks rosy. Just when we are getting near the far turn, Jupe Pluvius suddenly decides to turn on the sprinkler system even though nobody so much as touches the fire alarm. Now I am no mudder, but it so happens that Doug Whittle's swim team comes along at this time to win the Conference swim meet and help me through the puddles. AND THE STRETCH When I am thinking of Peter Vajda's skiers, never doing better than placing second all year (why didn't they sabotage Washington?—no one would notice a little glue in their wax). I am starting to slow down on the turn. iBut Frank Frederickson's Ice Hockey sextet finishes off its season in a blaze of glory by beating Colorado College, the Western U.S. Inter- Collegiate Champs, and I'm back in a gallop again.
