This term's first-member-at- large, Ron Longstaffe, became new AMS vice-president by narrowly defeating his closest opponent, Jim Craig. Victoria-bred Alan Thackray, who was Open House traffic director, defeated Isy Wolfe to succeed Dick Riopel as next year's University Clubs Committee Chairman. And Open-House co-ordinator Don McCaUum .defeated B131 Gartside to become new co-ordinator of activities. LIVELY SLATE The lively third slate campaign, highlighted by an unprecedented numtfer of candidates, rescued what elections committee chairman Ralph Sultan called, "the dullest campaign we've ever had." With no issues to arouse student interest, and no "goon candidates" — such as last year's famous Baru — only about two thirds as many students as last year visited the polls. And the apathy worked both ways; out of the total of twelve positions, four went by acclamation. SERVED ABLY Mike Jeffery, who served ably this year in the Pep Club, came first in a seven-way preferential ballot to win his second member post. His campaign was highlighted by a calypso type singing commercial played on down town radio stations. Runner-up was freshmart John Butterfield, who ran on the rather cryptic slogan, "beat the Machine." His seconder and campaign manager was the famous Baru. in the closest election on the third slate, Ron Longstaffe, the man who censured the Ubyssey, defeated unsuccessful presidential candidate Jim Craig. The count was 1063 to Craig's 946, ONE OPPONENT Ortly AMS post left to fill are those of EIC of the publications j board, and AMS Public Rela-! tions Officer.

Not mice, ants, koala bears, or thrill-seeking engineers; the residence is infested by evil- minded, foul-smelling crabs. Rudely awakened by the stare ol a million beady eyes, hysterical hordes of frightened females fled to the safety of their rooms drugging their modesty behind them. "There are spiders in the sinks!" shrieked one mis-guided prairie girl in naked terror. "Get those . things out of here!" cried another when she had recovered her dignity. Latest reports confirmed that thi> friendly marauders are now on iheir undignified and indirect ret urn to the sea. Hut the mystery of "Who put I the crabs in Mary Bollert's 'Cabin'' is as cd unsolved. take any action however, seeing only three members of the delegation for five minutes. President Henry Schmitz said he had "studied long and carefully" before deciding to veto a recommendation by the university's physics department to invite Oppenheimer as a guest lecturer. RELATIONSHIP He said his action was based on Oppenheimer's "governmental relationships" and "nothing else." Immediately following this decision an effigy of the president was hanged during an open, forum called to discuss suggestions on "how academic freedom can be maintained on campus." Students and faculty members at the meeting viewed tht* hanging with disinterest and decided that a, "gentlemanly" delegation to the state governor at Olympia would be a more effective protest. YES VOTE An assembly of student representatives Friday voted forty- five to thirty in favour of ask ing for reconsideration of the president's decision. Bul as the Boajrd otf 'Regents (the body responsible for all faculty appointments), supports the president a reversed decision is not likely. Petitions circulated in support of Oppenheimer failed lo arouse strong indignation against the president's decision, with some students not sure just what was petit ton an.i who was Oppenheimer. No further student action has been planned. Teachers Discuss Shortage The Western Canadian Student Teachers' Conference, held at UBC this year, opened its four day session on Monday. Leon C. Mendoza, chairman, and Dfcan Andrew gave the welcome address to the dele gates. At the business sessions the 'topics under discussion were the teacher shortage — its relation to standards; enriched program for exceptional children; the problem of centralization and decentralization of educational administration and the relative importance of theory and practice in teacher education. day night. * Following are the changes proposed to Council by Vice-President Wendy Sutton, chairman of the constitutional revisions committee. • Abolishment of fall AMS general meeting. • 500 instead of 100 signatures required to petition a general meeting. • Quorum at a general meeting lowered from 20% of active student body to 1000 students. • A quorum must be present whenever a motion is voted on. • Changes in the constitutions of subsidiary organizations can be overruled by three- quarters of Student Council instead of the present/unanimous vote required. DROPPED • The section requiring a vote be dropped altogether as the AMS constitution already states that subsidiary organizations constitutions shall not contain provisions repungant to the AMS constitution. In proposing that the fall general meeting be abolished Miss Sutton contended that students do not even bother to attend these meetings which only serve to approve the budget. "The approval of the budget could be done more efficiently by Council." she said. BUDGET CHANGES Students vote budget changes without properly understanding the situation, said Miss Sutton. Student Council studies each club budget and is prepared to discuss changes, she maintained. Treasurer Ron Bray agreed with Miss Sutton's proposal. Club representatives arrange their budgets with the treasurer before the general meeting and they would still have a right to present disagreements to Council or call a general meeting if necessary, he said. TOO EASY President Dick Underhill felt that the quorum should be even lower than 1000 students. PRO Danny Goldsmith felt "it would be too easy to load, a general meeting with a lower quorum." All the proposals will be finalized and presented to Council for approval Monday night. All changes must be ratified at the spring general meeting.

These famous words of John Donne are ever so much more realistic in this day of nuclear warfare than they were in the seventeenth century. Our concern with world affairs is no longer of merely academic interest; it is a vital necessity. But apart from this self interest, we as human beings have a responsibility to our fellowman. It is on this principle of the essential dignity of mankind that the World University Service bases ts program. It believes that we should help students around the world not because they are anti-communists nor because they are potential soldiers for the west but because they need and deserve our help. The annual Handicraft Exhibition and Sale is now on the campus and its proceeds go to this international program. WUSC needs your support in its fight against ignorance and disease. lt fights on the level it knows best—that of higher education. Every student on the campus contributes one dollar a year to support exchange scholarships. Canadian students last year raised $12,000 by this method. While this method contributes much to international understanding, the crying nee'd of Asia today is for health and educational facilities. This is where our support of the "Treasure Van" comes in. —World University Service Committee hoots in hell BY JOCK WHATSISNAME / I MONTREAL—I sat In the austere offices of thc administration building here today and heard from the lips of the University of McGill's top educator that UBC has become one of the most Infamous truancy centres on thc North American continent. I was shocked. So bad is UBCs reputation that Toronto Deans bandy the names UBC hooky players with the same familiarity they mention big shots in the Toronto truancy racket. McGill president Dr. F. Cyril James and his fellow educators told me that UBC is a key truancy centre for the same giant, greedy, grasping, craving abhorrent, disgusting international truancy ring that has turned Toronto into a nauseous battleground between professors and truants. Much of what they told me, I, Jock Whatsisname, already knew, of course. But the magnitude of the octupus which unrelentingly squeezes UBC in its grasp came to me as a new and terrifying concept. They named Elmer Schlunk. a one-time car-hop, and Heber Geber, a Scotch morning paper thief as the kingpins of the international ring with headquarters in Mount Allison University, that is now supplying abominable, besmirched ideas to 2000 UBC students as well as the other major campi of North America. Snoek Brothers Known Underlining the evil importance of the UBC campus to thc syndicate is the clearly, positively established fact that UBC's two notorious lecture skippers, the Sneek brothers, Freek and Reek, were considered valuable enough to become top men in the international evil conspiracy after the pair fled the president's office in 1927. How does the vile ring work? Who are the incorrigibles behind it? What is their stake in the sordid truancy racket? This is what I was told in a conversation with President James: 'What tho hell do YOU want?" From keyholes, I found that thc pestilential, depraved headquarters of the vice empire, which greedily milks hundreds of hours a day from 20,000 students listed in attendance records, is Mount Allison University in Nova Scotia. But the insidious, corrupting, rotten practice stretches out over Europe, the Near East, thc Orient and North America. The malignant practice started in tiie arts faculties'but from there it corrosively spread, poison-like, to clandestine laboratories in engineering buildings, where grim, "mad sciencemen" transformed it into an odious., debasing, squalid, wretched occupation for street corners, pool halls, taverns and cheap cafes for the living dead, the truants. The business of distributing flunking on the instalment plan is complicated by Ihe fearless and earnest enforcement of deans j and professors, working in fast-moving co-operation. But, alas, there is many a slip-up. Heiress Nearly Corrupted I ventured out on one raid on a classroom with Toronto professors. When we burst the door open with our powerful shoulders, a shocking sight met our eyes. Only three students \\ were present. Ft is into the already mickey lined briefcases of these pariahs : that UBC textbooks are evilly and scornfully tossed, costing thousands ol dollars in wasted taxpayers' money, professors' man hours, and the faithful work ol parents. But the highest price of all is still to he paid by the college ' girl or boy who will soon be seduced by Ihe hooky habit, in order lo slake Ihe truancy kings, vampire-like, venomous, pernicious, rank, depraved, villainous, execrable, diabolic, virulent, insatiable thirst for companionship —Peter Sypnowich i By PAUL ROMERIL Following ia the second report on Csechoilovakla written for The Ubyssey by Paul Romeril, third year Arts student who visited the country tail summer on a World University Service study tour. Hta first article dealt with economic and social life in Caechetlovakia. The group interviewed Bishop Novae, head of the National Czech Church, who, when Questioned about the church-state rclattonship in Czechoslovakia maintained that there was full religious freedom. We told him of our meetings with, school children and informed him that it was our impression that their education encouraged materialism. This he denied, and stated that school children got time off for religious instruction. He concluded by saying that he did not consider the regime anti-religious. The Czech National Church ("The Hussite Church "(began in 1920, and today, has one million members. Sixty-five to seventy percent of Czechs are Catholics, according to Bishop Hovac, but the vast majority do not practice the Catholic faith. The third largest church in Czechoslovakia ls the Czech Brethren Evangelical Church, founded in 1918, and now led by Dr. Hrmodka. These 3, and the other small Protestant sects are all state subsidized. Two of our group attended Catholic services twice, each time observing that most of the congregation belonged to a considerably older generation. Also in Prague, we saw the recently opened "Jan Huss Church." It is impossible for us to make any comment on the value of the programmes on the state radio, because of the language barrier. The average listener can easily obtain the musical programmes of the U.S. Armed Forces Station in Munich — it is interesting to note the popularity of the American "Hit Parade" in Czechoslovakia.

(which is on the whole received unfavourably). Members of the group at various times heard the BBC, AFN, Radio Moscow, and le Radio — diffusion Franchise from Paris. In addition? we saw in the Prague press, the odd American film being advertised. This freedom is not true of newspapers. The only foreign editions we could obtain were "L'Humanite," the "Daily Worker," and "Pravda." Apparently most of the Czech newspapers are controlled by organisations sUch as trade unions, political parties, and governmental departments. .In the bookshops we saw great selection of low-priced volumes, devoted mainly le the achievements of the "socialist revolution." Virtually every edition dealt with political er economic matters, or with the life of a great Communist leader. It appeared to us that in Czechoslovakia one of the major, media of mass communication was the poster. More than that, it was an effective method whereby the government created in the minds of its citizens ■ certain attitudes conclusive to the development) of a communist state. On every wall every street corner and every building, we saw huge full- colour messages praising the glOrles of the revolution, of socialism; of Stalin; Malenkov; Gottwald; and Zapotocky; or demanding peace; or urging the worker on to higher production. Often, too, we saw anoth- erer type of poster, designed we thought to strengthen national solidarity by linking the hatred of the Czech people toward war with a violent and often cruel condemnation of the Western Democracies, notably the United States. As a result of these gross and often mischievous distortions, the Western World is frequently misrepresented in the eyes of the common 'people. In this respect, our group endeavoured on every possible occasion to present a true and balanced picture of life in North America. In Czechoslovakia, as in all Communist countries, government is carried out through the National Front system. This means that all political parties commit themselves to the same basic platform, which is best for the country, and differ chiefly in their means to the end. We were informed that this ensures the maximum amount of party participation for purely national reasons and eliminates a great deal of partisanship. They admitted that our concept of opposition in a political democracy is non-existent in their country because as they viewed the purpose of political parties, it was not thc duty of any one party to oppose, but for all to work together for the common good. Thc group does not feel that an evaluation of this system is necessary in this report, hut we did let our hosts know that this was a very basic difference between "democracy" as we saw it and "democracy" as they understood it. Apart from the three political parties in the National Front which are: 1. the Communist Party, 2. the Socialist Party, and 3. the People's Party, there are also such organisations which are officially recognised by the government as making a contribution to the socialist growth of Csechoilovakla, for example, the Revolution- ary Trade Union Movement, and Csech Youth Movement. •The Czech Parliament is composed of elected delegates from 611 these organizations in < the National Front. It meets twice a year, for about a week to a week and a half, in the spring and fill, to ratify the policy of the executive of the government which is headed by the President and the Premier. In the nomination of these candidates by various organizations in the National Front any number of candidates may stand, and ballots can be cast one way or the other, depending on the personal qualifications of the nominee, i.e., ability, integrity, etc But very little policy difference can en- j ter into the election of nom-1 inees except on the basis of j the policy of the individual j persons revealed in his speech I requesting nomination. When i a candidate is nominated thc j voters of the trade union, region, town or whatever body | constitutes the voters in the particular case express either ; approval or disapproval of this one man, but they have no choice of another candidate. If he gets 51 percent of the votes he is elected. If not, the organ ization must start the whole procedure all over again to find another candidate. The latter case is rare. The executive, i.e., the President and the Premier, are chosen by the elected parliament. We were not able to establish clearly if the executive is then therefore responsible to the assembly. At any rate in Czechoslovakia this problem of a changing executive has not appeared as yet. The group as a whole felt that the Communist", Party is by far the most influential group in the National Front. wit uif hand Succint Editor, The Ubyssey; Those who think will recognize that the true humor in pornographic comedy lies in its false humor which relies for its "punch" on a regression to what has been called the anal stage of childhood development.

(from NFCUS constitution). Its main efforts have been directed at attempting to lower education costs for university students. A brief prepared by NFCUS was adopted by the Massey Commission in their recommendations to the federal government om education. Delegations from NFCUS have petitioned the federal and provincial government for schol arship aid, but without success as yet. Policy is set by delegates from each member university at an annual conference which is termed the Executive Council. This Council elects an Executive Committee to co-ordinate and execute directives and policies set at the annual meeting. The Committee is composed of a full-time national president, four regional vice • presidents, and three "ex-officio" members — an International activities commissioner, a debating commissioner, and a full-time secretary-treasurer.

TRY SOCK DANCE It would seem that this weekend seems to be shaping up somewhat as belonging to the Rowing Club (currently endeavouring to raise money by which to go to England and the Henley regatta.) Keep the club in mind Saturday night when you're thinking of where to go for a good time. The scullers will be having a wee bit of a bash, commonly called a sock dance, Saturday night in the gym after the game. good. 50 cents per head will be the tariff. The music will be ESTIMATE RAISED Rowers Nearer To Henley Race By KEN LAMB Henley, England, the home of the wrong length course and seat of the international proving ground for the best of the world's scullers, moved a bit closer to UBC's rowing crew Tuesday night as the chairman of five fund raising committees pledged strong support to the crew. BANQUET At a banquet at the faculty club the speakers, Col. Doug Forin, Frank Frederickson, Ron Bray, Luke Moyles and Art Sager, chairman of the sub-committees, reported plans and progress of the money raising endeavour. But the fund received aa Immediate boost when coach Frank Read told the combined committee press and radio audience that the $20,000 formerly established as a minimum would probably reach 328,000. Col Forin, chairman of special names, reporteg "unqualified support" from the letters he had sent and expected little trouble ih reaching the objective for his group—half the $25,000. SPECIAL EVENTS The remaining money will come from students and special events. Treasurer Ron Bray said a referendum to transfer $3,000 of the AMS surplus to rowers would be put before the stu dents this Spring. First cash to reach the coffers will come this Saturday from a silver collection to be taken at the Varsity-CPR soccer game. VRC MEMBER Nellis Stacey and trainer John Warren will appear at half time on the television broadcast of the game. OUTLINED PLANS Special events chairman Frank Frederickson outlined' plans for other money raising events. He said he hoped for an old-timers hockey game and a possible game featuring the Penticton Vs when they return from Europe. He also spoke of a rowing display on Lost Lagoon, with "lots of pretty co-eds" taking a silver collection. Rowers will also be publi cized during Open House. Big On For No. 3 Top Birds lappy'Guest Speaker At Banquet Charlie Lappenbusch, inventor of the straight line defense, and Bellingham's loquacity version of Annie Stukus, will be the guest speaker at UBC's second annual football banquet, to be held Tuesday, March 1 at 6:15 in Stanley Park Pavilion. In his quieter moments "Jolly Cholly" doubles as athletic director and football coach at Western Washington. Entertainment wise, the $2 per studenti, $3 per outsider price is worth Charlie alone, without the banquet. Also on the agenda is the presentation of the Dr. Burke Inspirational Award to the most inspirational player on the team. The winner will be chosen by the team members. It is hoped this years banquet will be even bigger than last year's, and a good evening should hi' had by all, The shiny floor of UBC's War Memorial gym will rock and bounce to the rythm of gyrating Thunderbirds for the last time this season when Jack Pomfret sends his Birds out in* an effort to break their own conference win record. Opposition (for the attempt will be third place Central Washington Wildcats. Clawing will commence about 8:15. Pep club has promised some fine half time entertainment with a buzzing model airplane show — brirfg your own airraid shelter. And the rowers will hold another of their famous sock dances after the game. But all that is merely incidental. This, so we are told, (and we belive it,) is "Big Number Three" night for the Birds. With two conference wins this season, the team will be out Saturday night to make it three and beat their own record. Being the last game of the season, it is the last chance for the Pomfret-led gladiators. Unfortunately, the other team will be the third place Wildcats, who are anxious to. remain above and aloof from the three teams clustered below them. But a win would be a fine way to close the season. Do not be at all surprised to see one. It would also be fitting to hand a victory to Buz Hudson, Qary Taylor, Ernie Nyhaug, and Jim Carter.^ four Bird stalwarts who will perform for the last time on the old home floor. Jayvees Advance To Finals With Fourth Quarter Win Beat Adanacs For Right To Meet Eilers Tonight Sports Editor—KEN LAMB ALL SET to derail the CPR express when its 11 members play the Thunderbird soccer club -at 2 p.m. Saturday in Varstiy Stadium will be Ernie Kuyt, star goal tender for the Birds.

The Golden Bears return to the Owen Bowl March 10 and 12 to decide the holder of the cup UBC has won for the last two years. Coach Laithwaite, battling with a budget that will limit him to only three extra players, is counting on what he calls "the strongest team in years" and the lack of fatigue of the air ride to give him the advantage over the powerful Bears. BOUND TIGHT In fact, so tight is the team bound by finances, that each player has contributed $5 to supplement the kitty. This is a new twist in the popular malignant theory that college athletes are rewarded. At UBC, evidently, so unath- letically-scholarship-minded are we, that our athletes pay for the privilege of representing the old school tie in international competition. Such devotion. Though Albert is taking a strong team, California also promises to be very tough. And further injuries to the walking wounded — Ted Hunt, Donn Spence, Derek Vallis, and captain Doug McMillan could hinder our chances. But the air ride, shorter by many hours than the long and exhausting train trip, is expected to improve the Birds' stock. And the series will not be without its bit of drama. Assistant UBC coach Max Howell, one time Wallaby and longtime member of the Bears, will be helping Albert match wits with the men he played beside only last year.
