There is no field of endeavor which cannot be handled
cooperatively, CCF Club was told yesterday by Mr. G. Holtby,
one of the leaders of the co-op movement.
"Private competition has not yet §■
brought forth a better idea than
thc coop, because the movement depends on the love of man for each
other: It is almost a religion" the
speaker said.
He traced the success of thc coop
movement in Great Britain and attributed the recovery ot Britain to
the powerful coop movement which
increased thc purchasing power of the

LOYALTY
In spirited references lo the Communist leaders as "rats" being piped

chief piper Stalin, Bray claimed thai
Communists' chief loyalty lay with
Iheir party and not with Canada.
Jack Howard refuted Bray's charges
that Communists took an oatli to sup-

The vote was a severe setback to
plans of the International Student
Service and UBC students Cliff Greer
and Greg Belkov who sponsored the
university's one dollar European
scholarship plan approved by students
al a fall general meeting.
ISS PLAN OUT
Effect of the ballot was to cancel
the scholarship fund which UBC was
first to establish in Canada.
The $4 increase was proposed by
Treasurer Paul Plant in order to
subsidize numerous campus events
and reduce admission charges at
dances and class banquets.
Activities next year will be crimped
to a much greater extent than this
year's so-called "austerity" program,
Treasurer-elect Walt Ewing said after the results were announsed.
The result was a personal victory
for student George Kelly who succeeded in having the proposed fee
insrease submitted to a referendum
after it was first proposed by Plant,
at a special AMS meeting late last
month. ,
Kelly contended that "student activities should not be heavily subsidized merely to make it easier for
thc treasurer to plan a financial program."
Kelly, a veteran who first began
his movement among a group of
students at Fort Camp declared:
"There is a large group of students
who find it very difficult to finance
a university education. Every dime,
nickel and four dollars is of great
importance to them. An increase in
fees would work an unnecessary
hardship."
MORE EXPENSE
Plant estimated after the ballots
bad been counted, and the rejection
of Ids proposal announced, that all
social events would be more expensive
next year.
The Engineeis Banquet, hc said,
will probably cost $2 instead of the
50 cents charged this year.
"There will be almost no subsidization of social affairs," he said.
"Students will realize next year,"
Plrnt declared, "that they would have
been better off with the $4 increase."
Alma Mater Society officials expect
a drop of approximately 500 in registration, meaning a loss of 55000 in
AMS revenue from this year, but at
the same time will have to find
around $3000 in salary for the new
business manager demanded by students in a referendum earlier this
year,

New Head White
Presides Over
Executive Selection
Engineers yesterday elected
their slate of executives for the

new president.
Elected were: vice president, John
Ehrenholz; secretary-treasurer, Charlie Walker; professional relations, Don
Urquart; publicity, Don Duguid; athletics, Lee Schofield; USC reps, Pete

The motion was defeated after Herb
Adams retiring secretary-treasurer,
pointed out the advantages of staying
with thc present system.
It was moved and passed that thc
position of employment representative
be discontinued. It was also agreed
that USC representatives should be
r,ranlcd full executive standing on
the- EUS.
Il was reported that a net profit
of $150 was had from the Ball of

"Spring has sprung
The grass is riz
I wonder where
The students is" . . . quoth
a clueless professor.
Yes, everyone's doing it. Doing
what? you say. Why communing
with nature, cf course. SPRING is
here—but definitely.
The birds are singing, thc croci
are blooming, the Library is empty,
the lawn is full. In fact you can even
see what the Caf tables look like
now. And that is a sure sign spring
is here.
*
Spring does amazing things to
(people. All the glum saddened
wintry expressions have been replaced by happy smiles accompanied
by winks and what-not.
Oh that good old spring fever.
Young Man's Fancy
Get it now while the stock lasts.
Don't wait till it's all exam tarnished.
It's amazing how a young man's
fancy turns to the finer things of
life — such as pretty girls — as
soon as the sun comes out and thc
birds start'singing. Of course there
are still a few party-poppers who
haven't got over the cold weather
yet and are still clinging to somebody else's cosy carral in the sticks.
However these eager types are
greatly outnumbered by thc zany
ones.
Professor's hints to their sadly
dwindled classes to the effect that
final exams are just a month away
are to of no avail. Couples find a
walk to the Point much more enthralling than History or English
lecture these days.
Pins And Flowers
And don't let the couples out on
the lawns fool you with their great
pile of books staeked impressively
in front of them. They're not learning Physics by looking soulfully
into each other's eyes, no matter
what they say.
And with all this spring fever
stuff and young man's fancy and
all that sort of thing fraternity pins
are going out by the bushel. I hear
tell the Phi Kaps have just ordered
another few dozen from the east.
The Kappa Sigs will be in ^ great
flap pretty soon if they don't stop
their pinnings cus there will be
more women in the fraternity than
men. However the Fijis can always
keep them company. The Zetes
just give out flowers — with a song
thrown in at that!
Anyway the point of the matter
is — if there is any in all thi.s —
that everyone should get spring
fever and get all re-juvenated. It's
terrific. There's not much point, to
anything around spring-fever time
anyway.
See you on the Library lawn.

Femininity
At Stake
By BETTY IIORTI1V
Woman's femininity was al .stake.
in a debate Thursday. !
'Mama never went out with any- '
j ene but her husband but this is not
(rue today" said Claire Greene dur- [
ing the University Forum debate on
thc subject "I.s Modern Woman Los- j
ing Her Femininity?" ,
Second speaker, Rodger Bibacc. 1
explained "Woman are accepted in
nearly all walks of life, but, "he !
rp. estioned, has she lost out in her'
emancipation?" j
Bill Hill supported Rodger's statements. He believes women are trying
"lo imitate and emulate men" in
eriler to obtain thc advantages enjoyed by the opposite sex." However, he
holds that women have chosen the
worst traits of men to follow, S'nd
could obtain their end in some other
way than this.
In Mr. Hill's words "Persuancc of
their present goal will not be desirable
to either sex."
Shirley Manning, the other speaker
defending the poise and grace of
modern women, began her speech b\\
putting aside her pipe which, although it looked rather unusual,
made her look no less like a girl.
Modem women are no longer timid
and frivolous as Miss Manning puts
it "I don't have to be a mere plaything.' She also points out that the
woman's page of The Daily Ubyssey
is not masculine in content.
Questions from the floor seemed
to steer immediately towards the
Kmsey report and Shakespeare when
Shirley Manning answered a question by saying there was far more
psychology and explanation in Shakespeare than in the Kinsey report,

Emergency precautions are in operation fcr the terrible epidemic thai
lias hit the campus this week, '
The symptoms are many and varied.
The disease usually occurs as a form
of "lackadaisism". It is accompanied
by absent stares, smirks and smiles
at meaningless objects, and a generally strange psychological attitude.
Frequently the victim is afflicted with
mumbling uninlelligble phrases and is
almost impossible to understand under any circumstances. This dread
disease is known as springococcus oi
more commonly as spring fever.
Perhaps the strangest effect of this
seasonal influence is the emptiness of
the Caf. Thc inmates of this infamous
institution can no longer be found
propped up at' a table between lectures and it is now possible to cat
lunch without an anonymous elbow

In Touch"
With Ron Grant
By the time this column reaches
print, the Thunrlprbiid rugby feani
will have soared high over the
Cascades and set their wings over
Berkeley, California,
And by way of giving fair warning to "Doc" Miles Hudson and his
Golden Bear rugby proteges, thc
'Birds Saturday ran roughshod over
the Victoria Crimson Tide, posting
a lopsided 19-3 victory.
In spots, the long layoff forced by
the bad weather, showed through the
polished veneer of smooth passing
and hard tackling, that is characteristic of this year's "wonder
team."
But on the whole, Saturday's encounter was just what the doctor
ordered as far as the 'Birds were
concerned.
In fact, it may be more than the
doctor ordered, if the doctor in
question happens to be Doc Hudson,
aforementioned coach, of California
Golden Bear ruggermen.
Series A Natural.
Anyway you look at it, this year's
home-and-home World Cup series
shapes up as a natural.
Al Laithwaite, 'Bird coach, has
his "wonder team," whose record
speaks for itself. 150 points "for"
and 12 points "against," .with their
line crossed but once, and that in
Saturday's game.
Doc Hudson, word from the South
has it, has a great team. Eight Rose
Bowl players and fourteen out of
fifteen of last year's team back in
strip.
Thursday and Saturday in Berkeley's 90,000 capacity stadium, these
two top teams clash in the first of
the four-game series for the coveted
World Cup.
Provided Stan Clarke, Junior Tennant and Geoff Corry play the way
they did in Saturday's match, and
lhe rest of the team follow suit, the
'Birds should leave Berkeley with
a first mortgage on the classic silverware.
Bears Beat Thund
Sure Handling
Clarke was the outstanding three-
quarter in the Victoria tilt. He
showed unerring change of pace and
his pair of hands were pleasant to
behold. On top of that,, his sure,
tackling broke up many potential
scoring runs by Victoria's three-
quarters.
John "Junior" Tenant, Varsity's
diminutive scrum half, was a living
witness to the old adage that it is
quality not quanity that counts.
Junior squirmed his 155 pounds
around tho blind side for nice gains
on several occasions Saturday and
managed to weave right between the
posts on one of them. Pound for
pound, Tennan^- is probably the
most valuable man on the team. He
is also the lightest, in case anyone's
feelings might be hurt.
Geoff Corry was his usual tower
of strength on Saturday. Specializing
in "corner-flagging," (backing up
the three-quarters), Geoff i.s a constant source of joy to coach Laithwaite. Corry is also a fine tackier
and in the "tries-scored" department, he bats well above average.
8-3 On
Golfers Vie for
Tourney Honors
After a three-month lay-off,
the UBC Golf Club will swing
into action again today at 1:00
p.m. on the University golf
course.

The four low scorers in the 72 hole
grind will be thc official representative's from thc camprs.
This years team playoff will bc held

the city, University, Fraser, B'urquit-
lam and Point Grey.

Washington, College of Puget Sound,
Oregon State, Seattle College, University of Washington and Central
Washingfon.
The Conference play begins on
May 27 and as many as possible
of the above mentioned matches will
be played in the week prior to that
date.
Play Saturday
Soccer Boys Aim
For Second Place
Varsity's senior soccer eleven
will be shooting for second
place Saturday, when they
tangle with South Hill at Memorial Park South.
Right now, the students are hitting
their hottest pace of the season, due
mainly to the spark injected by throe
rookie performers, Bud Dobson, Pon
Ronton and Jim Foster,
Ronton and Dobson are holding
down the two inside positions, and
bolh have developed into potent scoring threats since joining the club.
Foster is a hard hitting halfback
who is being groomed for Gus Mac-
Sween's center half spot, which will
be coming vacant next year.
In Intermediate circles, the UBC
team has also come to life with a
bang, led by right inside Ron Tur-
bitt and right half Leon Umberto,
who plays the fast, tricky South
American style of ball. UBC meets
Burrard Lions on the campus on
Sunday.
Play In Rain
Latest advice from the "sunny"
south indicates that the first encounter willl be played with the
dubious benefit of some of California's liquid sunshine. If this
proves to be the case, the 'Birds
may find the going a little tougher
than expected against the top-heavy-
California crew.
Rain or shine however the rugby
hungry California fans can expect
to see a ding dong exhibition of the
Twickerham sport.
Varsity fans will have the same
treat in store for them when the
'Birds tangle in the Stadium on
March 24 and 26.

For UBC; Reid Slightly Hurt
Heavy, sticky mud and even heavier power in the California scrum combined to bring about the downfall of UBC

Toughest Swim Meet Of
Season Saved 'Til Last
When UBC travels to.Victoria Saturday to meet Victoria
Y for their last encounter of the season, they will be facing
game of their four-match series with the southern team, 8-3.
With rain dominating the weather ■
cenditions since last Wednesday
morning, the field was literally a sea
of mud.
HEAVY GOING
The heavy going made it utterly impossible for cither team to make it a
passing or running game.
Only the superiority of the scrum
form of the California college gave
the winners the needed edge to come
through with their earned victory.
Even with the handicap of the adverse weather conditions which prevailed for the last few days, the 'Bird
crew held their own in the first half
nf the contest, ending the period with
a 3-3 tie.
Hilary Wotherspoon was the hero
ef the occasion, making a spectacular
penalty kick count for the only Thunderbird score of the game.
WOTHERSPOON KICKS
With a layer of oozy mire sticking
to the sluggish ball, Wotherspoon,
taking his time, placed the ball
squarely between the uprigrts, thrilling the 1000-odd spectators who stayed
despite the torential downpour.
In the second half of the game, the
overpowering weight of the California
crew proved to be too much for the
compartivcly light 'Bird stalwarts.
Pushing the losers constantly towards their goal line,'Bears forced
their way through time and again but
plucky local team staved off countless
attacks.
BRUTE FORCE
Fnally in the latter half of vhe final
period, pushing their way forward
by sheer brute force and endurance,
forced the ball over the 'Bird line to
mark up their second and winning
try. Beautful convertng by California's t'op kicker made the extra
two points to sew up the ball game.
No serious casualties were suffered
by either side but Dougie Reed, one
of the 'Bird's most proficient players
who came through with his usual performance, twisted his ankle,
SLIGHT INJURY
Although the injury was thought
to be serious at first, Dougie came
ir.rough all right, stating that he
would be playing again in their encounter of the series which takes
piace on Saturday, March r
