VOL. XII. VANCOUVER, B. C, FEBRUARY 18, 1930 No. 30 EIGHT FINALISTS REMAIN IN RACE FOR ORATORICAL Four Men and Four Women to Seek Forensic Laurels on Feb. 26 Charles Braziefj-. Harry Freeman, Sidney Semple and J. H. A. Warr wilj contend for primary honors in the University Oratorical Contest on February 26, as a result of the try-out held in Arts 100 on Friday. There were fourteen entries, including some of the best known speakers at the University. Prof. Angus, Prof. Day and Fred Stone were judges of the finalists among the men. A. Whitaker, I. Wilson, Margaret Muirhead and Jean McDiarmid, were successful iif *$ae Women's tryouts, held .<%■■Monday. The speakers were Judged by B. Tobin and Fred Stone.' Of the men finalists, Charles Brazier has won his laurels in the debating field,- particularly ta .the last debate with Montreal and Bishops. Harry Freeman is President of the Debating Union and has taken part in threes Mter-collegiate debates. As President of Arts '32, and a moving spirit in that class, Oratorical contest, Sidney Semple has added a certain amount of stimulus to the in- terestJfesing taken in public speaking. J. H. A. Warr is a newcomer to University oratorical circles, and shows promise of becoming a decided asset in this line of endeavor. The calibre of the four successful competitors is apparent in the fact that they eclipsed sujch welWfcnown men as R. Brookes, F. C. Christian, J. A. Gibson, P. H. Henderson, J. Dunn, D. Hutchison, D. B. Houghton, D. Macdonald, M. Winram, and E. T. Stenner. Problems of Pacific To Be Discussed At Conference § The Northwest Student Pan-Pacific Conference will meet in Portland, February 21, 22, 23.

Sixty delegates from Pacific coast universities, including U.B.C, and representatives from China, Japan and New Zealand, will attend. This conference is merely one manifestation of a world-wide movement for student organization, both national and international. The N.F.C.U.S. and the N.S.F.A. of the United States bring together students of the North American continent. Most of the fEup*opean countries have national student organizations and, we believe, international associations. Periodic conferences are held by students from all over the British Empire, the last taking place in Montreal a year ago. J"^pe Pan-Pacific Student Conference, sponsored by the Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A., if continued, may in time give rise to an international student organization of Pacific countries. The immediate advantages of this in the way of student tours, exchanges, discussion of problems, and competition as in athletics and debating, are obvioujsji The more indireej benefits in understanding and goodwill are the focus of universal attention to-day. In any case H. S. Snesarev, a post graduate student, U.B.C. delegate, and Prof. H. F. Angus, who has been requested $0 address the conference, will represent not only this university but the whole of Canada. Thus the University of British Columbia will be taking a not unimportant part in a world-wide mqvjement, despite the fact that its onl^student delegate is sent by a private society and not by the A.M.S. * # * # # m ||;'. • THE SOCIAL WHIRL M |||| Some people have been viewing with concern the number of social functions, which take place at the University, and which seem to increase yearly. It is indeed a moot point whether the limit has not been over-stepped in the number of these official and unofficial affairs. Nevertheless, the latest comer among the permanent fixtures of Varsity's social calendar is one which everyone welcomes, namely the Co-ed Ball. The Women's Undergraduate Society executive of last year decided to repeat the ©Vf-ed dance which has hitherto been only given in Leap%ear. The^ set a precedent which has been followed this year, and is likely to continue. In a co-educational institution like this the arguments in favor of it, from the point of view of both sexes are self-evident. The old question of whether or jHjt women should take some of the burdens as well as the advantages of their freedom by paying their share of expense, is involved also. Social custom has persisted as regards most of the social endfpif university life, but it is all to the good that for one major event of the year this should be reversed. Social Science Club The Social Science Club will meet tomorrow night at eight o'clock at the Cat and Parrot tea rooms. Mr. C. E. Stickney, Secretary of the Vancouver Harbor Board, will speak on "Vancouver Harbor Development," its present and future. Students, not members of the Club, but interested in Economics, are invited to attend. A charge of twenty-five cents will be made for refreshments. Mathematics Club The Mathematics Club will meet on Thursday evening, February 20, 1930, at 8.1f£t>.m. at the home of Mr. Ralph James, 4715 4th Ave. West. Mr. Grant Morrison will speak on "Notations, Past, Present, and . . . ." All interested are cordially invited to be present. Men-#29. By water, "London Naval Conference." Liv. Age, Jan 15, 1930.

Dear Sir: The formation of societies is a favorite amusement wherever undergraduates are gathered togethero^ one place. They are invariably formed with immense seriousness and are designed to uplift somebody or something with as little delay as possible. Members are selected for their learning and their good intentions (vide, the recently formed society which decreed that no one with less than second class academic standing should be admitted and thus excluded one of its original promoters). Now this kind of thing is becoming serious and I suggest that, in the interests of the University as a whole, sometMng. should be done about it. My own idea is (yes, another society, I admit) a Society for the Propagation of Amiable Minor Vices, to be known as the S. P. A. M. V. It is not sufficient that we ignore these uncomfortable uplifters, we must arise in the pride of our own disre- putableness and claim the right to cultivate our pet vices as essential factors in our common humanity. We would do well to remember the words of the old lady in, "My Friend's Book," speaking of. her departed husband, "He had one fault, he had no vices." (Would the Scrap Book Club .like to discuss the statement that, "Men who smoke and swear make the best husbands"?). I am pleased to say that the S. P. A. M. V. has now the enthusiastic support of many members of the S. C. M., and I am now making strenuous efforts to capture members of the V. C. U. Others wishing to join in the good work should apply to officials of either of the two above mentioned bodies. No qualifications are demanded except willingness to learn. Students of the Department of Erotics will be admitted free. Yours, etc., if. Iconoclast, President, S. P. A. M. V.

YOUR APPOINTMENTS MICHIGAN PROFESSOR SAYS PARIS CHANGED (From the Michigan Daily) "Student life at the University of Paris 35 years ago is strikingly different from the life there today," Prof. Hugo P. Thieme, of the romance languages department at the University of Michigan, declares. "In 1894, when I first attended that institution, one could not work for a degree. The only recognition of work was in the form of a letter or statement of recommendation from the professors— not all were lucky enough to receive these letters." Mr. Thieme, with Dean John Effln- ger, of the literary college, was among the first American students to go to Paris instead of Germany. The attitude of the German* universities at that time was different from the French in the manner of handing out degrees and in treatment of foreign students. "A diploma from any American university, he said, and the payment of a small fee, admitted one to open and closed lectures. The students occupied the traditional Latin quarters. In walking along the famous Boulevard de Saint Michel, one would see students from every country in the world, some of them dressed in most bizarre costumes. "It was indeed a gay life that students led. They crowded the coffee or absinthe shops and discussed their problems of studies. The life seen on the streets indicated that students were more interested in pleasure than work. There were no regulations for student behaviour, everyone lived where he pleased and in a most impersonal relation," he said. "To-day everything is changed. Students have demanded that attention be given to sports. . The American student life is set up as a model to the French youth. Tours, courses of study, and diplomas are readily offered to foreigners. The authorities of the University try to meet American college requirements with such arrangements as the "junior year abroad" plan, and summer schools. The old spirit of freedom is gone. Everything is regulated now. Editorials of Others WORLD IS "COLLEGE COMPLEXEO" A lighthouse attitude towards the problem of higher education—who shall have it and why—is shown by Dr. John D. Hicks, dean of the Arts College of the University of Nebraska. First, he answers the objection that two many youngsters spend their four years in college in having a good time; in taking frats and proms more seriously than trig, and calculus. Dr. Hicks admits that the world is "college complexed"; that it has become socially conventional to shoo progeny off to college quite regardless whether they have any bent for education or not. The frank dean turns a bit jocular and suggests a simplification of the process of calling a man or woman "educated" by giving Ph. D. degrees at birth to babies weighing ten pounds; M. A.'s to those weighing nine pounds; B. A.'s to those weighing eight pounds, and plain teachers' certificates to those weighing seven pounds or less, commenting that in the majority of cases such degrees would as aptly characterize the recipient as "educated" as a degree does under the present university system. In about the same day's press Dr. Anna Y. Reed, professor of personal administration at the School of Education at New York, adds her quota to the higher education discussion by advising girls to attend co-educational institutions if they want to meet potential husbands. Shall we need segregated and specialized colleges? One group for those whose dads make the conventional gesture of sending son or daughter to school, no matter what he gets out of it? Another for those who really want education and are willing to pay the price of it? —Dalhousie Gazette.

TEL. SEY. 8627 McGill Representative at N.S.F.A. Conference Compares Colleges McGill, January 31st.—"The work of the National Students Federation of America and of Canada justifies their existence as much in the part they are playing in promoting world peace as in the services they are supplying to students," said Lovell C. Carroll, on his return from the N.S.F.A. congress at Stanford University. In an interview yesterday afternoon he recounted his experiences and told some of his impressions of American colleges, customs, men and women. The contrast between Canadian and American girls, the latter meeting men on perfect terms of equality, was pointed out. A bus service runs from Palo Alto, the nearest railway station, to Stanford University, but this convenience is not patronized by the students. Instead they wait by the roadside for a passing automobile It is an unwritten law among the students that none of them owning a car shall refuse a lift to others. Freshmen there are not permitted to join fraternities, but all live together. Found Differences At the first dance he attended Carroll perceived a difference from those in Canada. The men brought girls but did not stick to them. Instead, cutting-in was frequent, a system which, in the opinion of the Canadian representative, adds greatly to the enjoyment. "American girls," he stated, "are wonderful." They are neither self-conscious nor bold and will discuss on equal terms with men, "anything from athletics and aesthetics to erotics and eugenics." They themselves are athletic, spending as much time on the playing-fleid as at pink teas. As befits a region where it is always summer, Stanford college is- set amid beautfiul surroundings. Distinctive dress is a feature. The freshmen and sophomores regale themselves in mole-skins and leather jackets, while the upperclass-men are resplendent in corduroy clothes. There is now a movement on foot to have these latter washed more than once a year. The Congress The congress attended by about 400 delegates, opened with plenary sessions on general questions. Among those considered were:—finance, a permanent secretariat,, and ints^nar tional relations. A hearty agreement to aid distressed European students was reached. The honor system was discussed thoroughly, some colleges reporting that their students wrote examinations with no professor In the room. At one university the honor system was tried and worked for two weeks. Then the students discovered a professor spying on them, and immediately began to cheat When asked to give his opinion, the Canadian delegate replied, that, within his experience, although some cheat at high school on arriving at college they put away childish things. Following the plenary session the congress split into groups to consider such things as student government, the subsidisation of college athletics, alumni representation on student councils, publications, student government in women's colleges and fraternity relations. ____ He then contrasted elections" in the* N.F.C.U.S. with those inr-fhe N.SvF.A. In the Canadian organisation officers are chosen by ability, without considering whence they hail. In the United States sectional feeling plays a great part, West and East supporting their own nominees. There were many pleas, however, for abolishing of regional prejudice and election of the more suitable candidate. Secretariat A permanent secretariat was inaugurated with head-office in New York, each student giving two cents for this purpose. "The establishment of an executive secretariat by the Stanford congress has certainly been a step in advance and will provide effective ser- vic0 organisation. It will give the officers an opportunity to prove that some of the vast potentialities are capable of realization. "The work of the N.S.FA. and N.F.C.U.S. justifies their existence as much in the part they are playing in promoting world peace, as in the services they are supplying to students in fields of co-operative buying, travel tours, debating competition, and providing a means of securing valuable information from other colleges to aid in the solution of problems common to all universities," said the Canadian repreSeritatlve. He mentioned that +>>e N.F.C.U.S. intend shortly to start a campaign for $50,000. the interest of which will establish a permanent secretariat. LOST at Science Ball, Rhinestone Bracelet.

VARSITY HOCKETTES WITHSTAND LEADERS The often defeated and greatly despised Varsity women's grass hockey team upset the dope at Connaught Park on Saturday afternoon when it held the league leaders, Ex-North Vancouver, to a scoreless draw. The students, showing a new spirit, went into the game to win and only missed by a fraction. The tie was well deserved since North Van. with its strongest team was unable to break through to score. Struggling in thick mud which put both teams at a disadvantage, the students rushed the North Van. goalie and only failed to score because of brilliant work by the custodian. The game opened with Jean Cameron, centre half, sending the ball out to Grace Watson, wing, who took it down nicely. By good passing the forwards got the ball within two feet of the defending goal. The North Van. centre half hooked the ball out and the northsiders brought it up. Robtna Mowat, at left wing, checked them successfully time after time to make opportunities for the co-ed front line who made continual raids. In the second half the game was featured by the excellent clearances of Margaret Harris, Blue and Gold goalie. The forward line passed at the right time to the right person and with a little practice will make trouble for any team in the league. The defense was especially strong. The lineup was: M. Harris, M. Stobie, M. McKay, D. Thomson, J. Cameron, R. Mowat, D. Wylie, M. Campbell, I. MacArthur, M. Finch, G. Watson. California Professor SponsorsTap Dancing Berkeley, Feb. 5.—Tap dancing, started as an experiment in the classes of the department of physical education for men at the University of California, has proved so popular that now eight sections of the class are being maintained, with an enrolment of 110 students. In making this announcement, Prof. Frank H. Kleeber- ger, head of the department, says that only 57 of the men are taking the work for credit; 53 of them are "auditors" in the class, taking the work merely because they enjoy it. Tap dancing, according to Professor Kleeberger, is a vigorous form of exercise, with enough fun and rhythm to make it very attractive. E. T. Haskell, a recent graduate of the University of California, with a philosophy major, is instructing the classes. He is now taking two or three years of work in physical education. Dancing classes of this type were taught by Professor Kleeberger before the war, when there were fewer classes and sports. Highland Fling, v Sailor's Hornpipe and Russian dancing were popular then but the classes were discontinued of necessity due to reorganization of the work of the department. U. S. BIOLOGY STUDENTS MOP UP PICKLING FLUID A new variety of education seekers, "intoxicated biology students," has made its appearance at a Jackson, Miss., college. The trouble, and there was trouble, came about when Millsap College officials discovered several gallon cans of grain alcohol used in the biology department for preserving jfrogs and fish had been mysteriously emptied. At the same time, directors of the college, came upon a biology instructor and a few of his students apparently under the Influence of liquor. The officials smelled the empty cans. They smelled the breaths of the teacher and his pupils. They went into a huddle, decided the scents were similar and made a ruling that Assistant Professor James Collin and biology student, Uriah Banks, should depart from the institution. The "intoxicated biology students" were offended by such treatment. The professor himself refused to leave school, declaring such action would be an admission of guilt. The campus is in an uproar. Leaders of the student body threaten to call a mass meeting of protest. It's silly to "kick them out of school for stealing preserving alcohol when they could get real corn whiskey without any trouble," is one of the arguments heard. "Do I understand," said the- irate father, "that there is some idiotic affair between you and that impecunious young McGregor?" "Not very much, papa," replied Marjory sweetly, "only you," 1 4 THE UBYSS&f February 18, 1930. f»?= Sportorial After perusing the latest hysterical effusion by "An Annoyed Fan" in the last issue of this "priceless paper" (priceless is literally correct) we fear that we are losing our respect for the "Correspondence" column.

Our critic states that an inaccurate, scrappy account of the tussle with the Crusaders was printed. Now we would venture to state that this same story places the hoopsters In rather a glowing light for nearly half a column, quite a lot for a sheet of this size. Furthermore, our fan entirely omitted to mention that half a column was devoted elsewhere In the issue to an account of another Senior "A" Men's game. But still, perhaps his emotion overcame his scruples. We actually dare to point out that our Basketball reporters all play the game and so we will not be at all surprised to discover that they understand the game quite thoroughly. Of course, we admit the truth of the remark on printed errors in scores and such, but even the "most remote spectator" is aware that these are regrettable but unintentional. The amusing part of it Is that so many happened to occur in one issue. Ho* hum, "human- urn est errare" which being translated means "even proof-readers slip a cog rt«w and then." We admit with pride that praise for the feat of the Co-ed squad was reserved for the culminating honor of an approving nod from this highly elevated column. Most of our readers "qui sapiant," realized this, meaning, that even a subnormal freshman can read between the lines occasionally. And surely the result was (worthy of patience say we, blushing with understandable pride. In passing we add that the ,final score of the Women's game with Neons was 15-14, not 16-15, as stated with our correspondent's amazing accuracy. Apparently ,our annoyed fan objects to English Rugby and Soccer being given front page space. Permit us to remind him that the Intermediate English IRugby squad has the best record of any team wearing the Gold and Blue at the present moment, and further, that this particular game was the major event of the Victoria Invasion. We can assure our readers that the /soccer defeat was just as glorious a defeat as that of the ruffled basketballers, and that this club's game fight .this iyear is worthy of some support—which it certainly does not get from the student body at large. Basketball has never been neglected in these columns, In fact we have on several occasions pointed out the merits of the renovated team. Since Christmas this journal has been swamped with basketball reports and so we can hardly be accused of a prejudice against our fighting hoopsters. We feel than any man who wails such maudlin rot as "these boys working their heart out" is much more at home crooning "Sonny Boy." In conclusion we remark that our first impulse was to pitch .this amazing concoction of sob-stuff in the basket where it so obviously belonged. On second thought we decided that it might provide some amusement to our numerous admirers. (Oh yes, Mr. Fan, we have some.) First Intermediates Shut OutEx-Kings Varsity Intermediate "A" English ruggers downed Ex-King George 5*0 on Saturday afternoon, on a glutinous patch of earth called Lower Brockton under the umpirage of Hoy Cameron. The Varsity team started off with the advantage of the slope and numbers and pressed hard for a period. After a good run by the threequarter line Brown dodged over from the wing to plant the ball between the posts. Awarded a place kick Munn converted. The play fluctuated between the goals, each team having narrow escapes but always managing to punt the ball to safety. After the rest Varsity weakened for a short time but soon resumed the former standard of play. The game was hard fought and the Kings saved several times by kicks. At the finish play was on the Georges' twenty-five yard line. The Varsity threequarters were well fed with the ball by the scrum and functioned ably considering the wet ball. The scrum suffered from returning the ball too much and not keeping it at their feet. The threes all turned in a good game, as did Captain Wood who played a stellar game of offensive rugby, his best of the. season. The team was: Pilkington, Tobin; Symons, Wood, Davidson, Griffin, Tye, Munn, Bright, Nesbitt, Cotterell, Henderson, C. Cleveland, H. Brown, Gordon.

During the first half the play was slow and no goals were scored. But during the later part of the second half the game livened up considerably.

An attempt was made to even up the score but the final whistle blew before Varsity was able to increase its total.

Junior Canadian rugby fixture at the Varsity oval Saturday afternoon by a 4-0 score consisting of a field goal and a rouge. Although unable to score against the more experienced College team, Varsity showed a great improvement over last week. The students looked like sure winners in the first few minutes of play but after they had made two or three first downs, lost the ball and were pressed back to centre field. In the second quarter the play was about even until one of the New Westminster boys broke away and reached the Varsity 25-yard line. On the next play Columbian College booted a beautiful kick between the posts. In the third period Varsity lost g
