■* Council Fights To Save Football PUBLISHED TWICE WEEKLY BY THE PUBLICATIONS BOARD OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA VOL. XXIV VANCOUVER, B. C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1941 No. 2 British Colleges Famous M. P. Gives War Close-Up BY ARCHIE PATON • "UNIVERSITIES ln Britain are carrying on deaplte the fact the war is in their backyards," Beverley Baxter, M.P., assured me Monday in a conversation before he addressed an overcrowded luncheon meeting of the Canadian Club ln Hotel Vanoouver. The Toronto-born parliamentarian and Journalist, described as "Canada's best known writer," leaves for th* East after spending three busy days visiting his family, interviewing Individuals and addressing gatherings ln this olty. He described his tour as "an official British mission" when he arrived in New York laat week. Mr. Baxter, who ta probably ^|__________________________a____BHaa|B bast known by his 'London Letter' aeries In MaoLeana magaslne, had as guests > of honor with him at the head table members of hla own fraternity, th. fourth estate, sa h. graphlcaUy gav. hla etory from, at he termed it, "the cutter of things." FORCEFUL SPEAKER Of average height, growing rather stout and with the fringe of hair around hta bald head greying noticeably, thla Canadian who works with and knows personally the leaders of our battle for freedom speaks just as he writes. He talks ln a soft, modulated voice which betrays a slight English accent, and grows In Intensity when he discusses the Nazis. "I wonder If you realise what Canada means to Britain and Europe?" Baxter aaked hla hearers, " For after the war thla coun- haa a part to play which you may not be able to aee now. Over there they are depending on you for help even more when tt ta finished than now." Beginning with praises for the Britiah navy. Baxter told of what he saw on a recent visit to Portsmouth and Lord Nelson's ship, "Victory". He claimed that that old veaael of oak, which survived the barrage of German bombs dropped on the naval yards there, served as a symbol where present- day sailors came to "commune with Nelson". Ing about a closer understanding between the working claaaea and capital waa stressed. But nothing haa done more, claimed Baxter, In breaking down claaa-dtatlnctlons than haa conacriptlon. "Thla la a war of the common people. A new aristocracy of merchant sailors and the "cavalry of the air" haa been established. By them the world will be saved." MAX AND RAX Baxter vividly described the man who was formerly hta Journalistic partner, Lord Beaverbrook, now Minister of Aircraft Production, and the tremendous work h. ta doing in building the R.A.F. into the most powerful air machine in history. Baxter worked with Beaverbrook ln the 1920's to revolutionize British journalism. When the latter was gathering men about him, for the production ministry, including R. B. Bennett, the former Canadian Prime Minister, Baxter aald, "Having run out of good ideas, Max sent for me." CHURCHILL CLOSE-UP Winston ChurchlU waa pictured as "the one voice through which Britain speaks." He ls one ln apirit with the "buccaneera and racketeers" of the Elisabeths-- era claims the M.P. who knowa him first-hand, and it ia perhaps fortunate that he overcame the many bitter disappointments ln hla career to step fresh into premiership— "not spoiled by the bread and butter of ordinary politics." The part Britiah labour ta playing in winning the war and bring- BEVERLEY BAXTER Will Guide Music Appreciation Here • WITH the object of promoting musical appreciation on the campus, a Musical Appreciation directorate met at noon today to plan a program for the year. Lnst year recitals of Carnegie recordings were held at noon hours. It Is expected that this will be continued and the Idea is to expand the activity to Include programs featuring student talent, with vocal and instrumental solos. The Directorate is composed of six members, two each from the Mussic'il Society, Players Club ancl the Social Problems Club. Each of the.:, groups will provide a senior and junior mmber for the plan, the junior member to gain experience to carry on the work next year. Red Cross Commends UBC Co-eds • RECOGNITION of the work being done by U.B.C. co-eds is given In a recent Red Cross circular. "Almost $3000 was raised last year by • the University students." stated the circular. It went on to say "No longer will the boys be able to complain that the girls have more time to study because of compulsory male training. Instead while the boys are drilling in the stadium girls will be busy sewing and knitting for the Red Croas." Garry On Big Sitter • NOW THAT THE Frosh Reception is over, Bunny Arm and all the other Big Sisters on the Campus can cease their worries. The large crowd of freshettes and their escorts at the dance last night shows what a good job this year's Big Sisters made of getting dates for the Little Sisters. 300 Students Hear Dr. Norwood Preach At Annual Services • THREE HUNDRED Varsity students joined with the congregation of St. Andrews-Wesley on last Sunday night in a special church service dedicated to Youth. A large section was reserved for them at the front of the church and the members of the Student Council attended in their robes of office. Dr. Klinck, prealdent of the University, read the Evening lesson. In his sermon, Dr. Norwood addressed his remarks particularly to the University students, to whom, he stated, the nation would look for its future leadership. Youth, he said, often wonders if religion Is at all necessary. Youth would not be youth If it didn't pass through such a stage, of healthy, thought-producing doubts. Youth ls often Impatient with the established creeds, and wants the established creeds, and wants to get down to the simple funda- that the Christian church as it is today has many faults, but it also has Its god points, or it would not have endured through the centuries. He urged that youth strip religion down to Its fundamental truth, which Is, Dr. Norwood maintains, that "Gnd Is Love". This statement is the most Important and daring belief that the modern world can stick to. 'Love" is not to be confused with "amiability". Our generation may have to be fierce, not gentle, if we are to hold this world together through the chaos which is rife today. In closing, he again urged students to cling to this fundamental truth, as It will carry them through everything. Red Shirts Play 'Hookey' Until Monday • ONE MORE WEEK wlU pass before fourteen sclencemen return from a Ufe of cutting treea, sawing logs, and working in mines, to labs and lectures. They are fifth year mining students who have been working for their fees In the interior aU summer. They return on Monday, Oct. 6, just In time to part with their hard-earned money. Book Exchange Busy; Pays Out Thousand Bucks • THE BOOK EXCHANGE is booming this year. During the first week of business 350 students turned in books and 500 customers were satisfied to the tune of $1000. Students receive two thirds the original cost. The Exchange is operated on a strictly non-profit basis. Hours are posted 4°wn at th-; office daily. McBride Will Make Appeal Thursday BY JACK FERRY • THE CANADIAN FOOTBALL battle remains in the balance, and with it the fate of athletics on the campus this year. Following President Klinck's Friday announcement that he would not sanction the proposed football series with Alberta, Alma Mater President Ted McBride interviewed the President about the situation. He was told that the Student's Council has the right to appeal the decision to the Council on Physical Education nnd Athletics. ATHLETIC COUNCIL MEETS THURSDAY The Ubyssey learned yesterday that Council will act through McBride and Evann Davies, president of M.A.A., who plan to present a brief of their views before the Athletic Council when it meets next Thursday afternoon. McBride and Davies are themselves members of the Council, whose other membera are: President L. S. Klinck, Dean M. D. Mawdsley, Dr. H. B. Warren, Dr. A. H. Hutchinson, Dr. G. M. Shrum, Mr. M. L. Van Vllet, Mr. Oeorge Cunningham, representing the Board of Governors, and Mr. Arthur Lalng, representing the Alumni Association. COUNCIL SPEAKS Early on Monday McBride Issued. Council's statement on the matter. Council states, "liter. Is ne doubt In th. minds of th. nwmb- •ra of Student Council that the Student Body wants FootbaU this yesr. It Is our rasponalbUlty than lo do all in our power te obtain aome sort of footbaU program. Th.

Sid Poulton and hla Poul- Cata will provide the Jive, aa usual. These affairs are Informal, but not so informal as to Include aU bf Vancouver; theae dances are strictly for University students. In keeping with last year'a War Savings Stamp policy all possible contributions will be made towards the war effort. Stags will 'pay SS cents; girls IS cents. Passes must be shown at the door. * * • * BAND LEADER Curtail Brock Hall Bridge Fans • Too obvioua gambling in the main lounge of the Brock building la the reason A.M.S. President Ted McBride gave for the restriction on card playing ln the Brock hall every day before 1:30 p.m. "Lounging around, missing lectures and general lack of discipline has necessitated this ruling", McBride stated. According to the A.M.S. president, the Brock bridge parties have become totally out of hand. In both the main lounge and smoking room, cards are strewn on the floor in a general mess. On sev eral occasions money openly made its appearance on the tables. Last year the bridge-playing became a bad habit. This year players again appeared in numbers. "We got off to a wrong start", said McBride. "The A.M.S. heartily disapproves of bridge playing in the Brock, and bridge Is a habit that grows." Charlie Nash, chairman of the Discipline Committee, stated that the main reason for the ruling waa that too many students were becoming so engrossed in their Cul- bertaon and were forgetting about lecturea. Members of the faculty were objecting to late-comera who arrived In classes tardy because they had stayed for the last hand. The penalty for breaking regulations ls the loaa of the privileges of the student pass for one month. Notice Sid Poulton will play a- gain at fortnightly mixers. Scholarship Studenta are requeated to caU at the Registrar's Office for their echolarshlp cards on Wednesday. They must have them certified by their instructors aad return them to the Buraar by Monday, October 6th to reoeive the first payment of their scholarship money. Freshettes Punished For Disobeying Rules • FRESHETTES who have been hobbling around the campus since Saturday morning with one high heel and one low heel, are the ones who offended most against the initiation rules last week. At the freshette supper on Fri- ■^^^^^^■""■^^^^■—""^^^^^^ day evening, girls who had broken rules, who had been seen with freshmen, who had worn make-up, who had walked on the grass, not worn aprons, mismated sox or green bows, were punished in front of all the big and Uttle sisters present. To begin with, Penny Runkle scrubbed their faces with laundry soap and water, then they had to forfeit one of their shoes, and perform before the audience. Dee Nichols was compelled to give a sixty-second dissertation on the "most Interesting man on the Campus." After a little thought she picked Al Dean, cheer leader, because "he's a nice boy, and because he's keeping things going on the campus." Marjorie Beale had to describe the setting for her first kiss, and Audrey Stormont had to describe the man she would marry, who has to be wealthy, have a car, and be a doctor. Looks don't count with Audrey. Among other performances that freshettes had to give were a recitation of Jack and Jill back-wards, a song, chew a pack of gum and recite "Mary Had a Uttle Lamb," dance, count the red-heads in the room, and show how to milk a cow. At the supper the freshettes wore infant's clothing and the usual regalia. Many of them even then were wearing "just a Uttle" makeup. After the forfeits, Francis White, Varsity songstress, led the girls In a sing-song.

Frat Rushing Rules Limit Functions • LET US PROCEED cn the basis that you are conaldered eleg- iblble aa defined in the conatltu- tion of the Inter-Fraternity Council. Your flrat move towards becoming a Oreek Is to register aa a prospective rush... Thla la done by paying a 80c reglatration fee to the Alma Mater Office aome time during thla week—aU registrations must be In Saturday, Oct. 4th. The next move Is up to the fraternity. In all problllty you will receive a "date card" from ono or more fraternities that intend rushing you. The ''date card" will invite vou to attend the rushing functions—each fraternity has four functions, two open days and two closed. If there is doubt ln your mind as to where your preference lies be sure to attend as many functions as possible. Remember Rush week is your last opportunity to look over the fraternities as well as their last chance to look you over. The majority of them are looking for well-mannered and conscientious men who will make a success of college days and will bring credit to the fraternity. If you feel you fill this bill then start choosing your future fraternity brothers. Inquire closely Into their history, their personnel, their alumni, their financial position. Find out what they expect of you, in time and finances, weigh carefully what they can offer you. Fraternities, like everything else, give back what you put into them. The Fraternity principle is a sound one—lt has stood the test of time over a hundred years so don't judge fraternities by the odd wastrel that they turn out. Thn ideal fraternity In irour eyes should be one that will help you to a well-rounded academic and social Ufe—one that will .Jive to you the necessary poise to go out and meet life—proud of having been a fraternity man—so choose wisely and carefully, remembering that your success or failure In the fraternity world depends upon you, because you will become the fraternity.

SCM Fellowship Based on Study Of Christianity • WHAT IS TKE S.C.M. ? - Many people in the past have asked that question and then spent much of their spare time during a four year college course really finding out. Perhaps one of the best ways to say something about the movement ls to state ita aim and basis. "The Student Christian Movement ls a fellowship of atudenta baaed on the conviction that ln Jesus Christ Is found the supreme revelation of God and the means to full realization of Ufe. "The Movement seeks through study, prayer, service and other means to understand and follow Jesus Christ and to unite ln its fellowship all students in the colleges of Canada who share the above conviction, together with all atuderite who are willing to test the truth of the conviction upon which the Movement Is founded." This la our aim and Basis. We try to oarry It out by atudy groupa, services, firesides, personal contact and general fellowship. Any person who la Interested ln the work of our movement la asked to drop Into our room—312 Auditorium Building-—any tlm. during th. day and talk with thoae present about Ita work.

BRITISH COLUMBIA'S MINING INDUSTRY Fully alive to the vital importance of the Mining Industry in relation to Canada's War Effort, from the very outbreak of hostilities, the Department of Mines of the Government of the Province of British Columbia, has maintained a close liason 'with both the British and Dominion Governments. The Department has been notably active in promoting production of Gold, Silver, and base metals, and in furthering the search for War Minerals. Too much can not be said for the splendid record of achievement set by graduate mining and geological engineers who have entered the service of the Department or allied themselves with private industry from the University of British Columbia. Students who secure practical experience during the summer months through the special interest of the Department are engaged in a study that challenges them to put forth their best efforts now, to win their laurels in the Mining Industry of British Columbia and at the same time give their most effective aid to Canada's War Effort.

That la the meaning of tho lock on the door marked "Council Room" on the top floor of Brock Hall's south wing. No ordinary human being has ever entered that awful threshold, for Inside is th private preclnt of the tin gods. Because I am no ordinary human being I rate the doubtful privilege of posslng through that door exactly once a week. Beginning this week the honour will come every Tueaday, as that is the night set aside for the regular meetings of those nine black- gowned figures who last spring duped the innocent student body into electing them student councillors. Would you care to know what goes on behind your backs and that locked door? Hold tight, and I will teU aU. From my vantage point behind a desk in one corner of the room I aee th. robed executlvea tako their places. At a long table adjacent to my own McBride, Porter and Atkln assume thslr appointed aeate whU. ranged ayatematloaUy around the room Nicholson, Nash, Morris, Buek, Eckardt and Davies, in th^-t ortUr, slouch behind desks fit for th. offices ot kings themselves.

Nash U reading in a monotone the names of those whom he suggests for the prized ducats and Is rudely interrupted when he drones, "One each for the officers." "Why, I didn't know the CO. T.C. got In free to the Frosh!" Indignantly exclaims secretary Atkln. Her two body-guards quietly subdue her with water as they patiently explain the officers referred to are those now present in thc room, and not of the military variety. • HOURS LATER Eckardt puts away her knitting, -which she has been working at all summer and hasn't finished yet, and a- rouae_ her fellow-athletic representative who has been catching up on lost sleep since his promotional efforts have been squashed from certain official sources. Together they decide to walk out to the Gates and so conserve gasoline. The other tin-gods follow suit, and Into the star-lit night walk the brains of the Brock congratulating themselves on the completion of another successful evening's work behind the door marked "Keep out." Tomorrow, they observe, some novelty-seeking undergrad may wander Into the Alma Mater Office tc read the minutes of their deliberations. The odds are a- galnct that possibility. Who cares about what a stuffy old council thinks and decides? It was ever thus. MUSICAL SOCIETY—The first banquet of the season wUl be held Wednesday, Oct. 2 in the Cafe at 6 p.m. Admission 40 cents.

Compulsory War Work Not In View For Varsity Co-eds • COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING tor U.B.C. co-eds during thla year has not been considered by tha authorities. President Kllnck told the Ubyaaey laat week that in hia opinion tlie work that the co-era of this university are now doing is the very best thing thav ctin be done. The President stated that to his knowledge the question of compulsory mllltmy training for co-eds has not yet beon raised, and that encouragement to voluntary effort would be more effective than compulsion. Dean Mawdsley is in touch with tlie Dean of Women at other Colleges. At McGiil the training for co-eds ls comulsory this year, but so far it is the only Canadian University comparable with U.B.C.'*. First Aid and Home Nursing courses are being offered at var ious universities. Lois Nicholson, Women's Undergrad prealdent, haa a list of oil women students. Each wlU be expected to devote two hours each week to war work, either in the Red Croas room or elsewhere. A time book wlU be placed there for the girls to sign, and the Red Cross executive on the campu. will contact girls who in their opinion are spending insufficient time on war work. So Soon . . .

In size, 176 by 112 feet, its drill floor is 44 x 112 feet, with no obstructing posts because of the use of Hamilton trusses. The style conforms to other non- permanent University Buildings.

Ex Black-Watcher New Psychology Professor • A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE arose in the switching of professors to fill the breach left by Dr. Thomas Henderson of the Psychology department in going overseas with the Black Watch regiment of Montreal. Dr. Alex Maslow of the University of California who replaced him, served overseas with the same regiment during the last war. Buchy-moustached Maalow could not account for this singularity and waa reticent on the subject of his service. "I was with the Canadians in 1917-18. That ls all", he said. A clance at hla sturdy face however indicated that many memories of the past still remained. Listed as his favorite hobbies are hiking and reading, although as he said "In my profession reading could hardly be called a hobby, but rather a business." Dr. Maslow received his B.A. and M.A. degrees at the University of Michigan where he taught for two years Later he gained his doctorate at the University of California With, regard to our aluminum drive he mentioned that atudenta at California had carried on a similar campaign last year. In answer to the Inevitable queation about the beauty of our campua he waa very emphatic. "One of the moat beautiful I have ever seen!" he exclaimed. "The mountains", (Dr. Maalow'a eyes glistened at the thought of a winter's hiking) "th. view, th. trees, th. grass . . . everything la lovely!" One thing la certain.

I have never come across such a friendly spirit, as it should be among people who hav* aa their common aim the acquiring of education. I like too, the many cluba which operate on the campua. Through theae the atudenta can expreaa themselves and learn to appreciate the workings of our democracy. How else are we going to show the rest of the world, after this conflagration is over, the value of our way of life unless we have this spirit and these activities? The other day I went as usual to the caf to eat my lunch. Quite by chance I learned that the tables down the center of the room were reserved for sororities and fraternities. I learned that there were twenty of these societies and that these tables were reserved for their members. Slightly Incredulous, I learned these things. Perhaps other newcomers to the university are also surprised. Please do not mistake me on this point; I do not feel any rancor towards the Idea of such institutions. They have proved themselves to be of value and the student that finds hlmaelf included in their pursuits may count himself fortunate. Do not the sororities and fra-. ternltles know however, that they discredit .themaelvea in the eyes of many studenta by adopting a policy auoh aa that followed In the Caf? In every unlveralty there la aome feeling of bitterness a- gainst auch bodies and it la mainly due to Uke procedures. There may be something to be aaid for the action ln the caf and if there la than I would be very Interested ln a reply by one of the members. If there ta no reply then there Is only one thing to be done, and that soon; we must laugh this ridiculous policy out of existence. We live in a democracy, we bo- Ueve In lt and aa a nation are fighting for it. Can we aa a democratic institution permit an undemocratic .condition to exist? FRESHMAN. Editor, the Ubyaaey, Dear Sir: Why doesn't someone tell the Freshmen that they are not doing their part by us Freshettes? We are juat aa new in thla place aa they are and, unfortunately, custom atlll glvea the men the upper hand in making introductions or asking people to dance. And what are we to do If they simply won't mix? At the tea-dance on Wedneaday, the Freshmen, after the flrat wild dash, just stood around and gaped, leaving the poor Upperclassmen to do the honours. Of course, I admit that we would rather m»et the Upperclassmen, but there didn't seem to be enough of them to go around. And, not content with leaving WANTED Young men and women to earn $ $ $ In spare time Only U.B.C. Students need apply Saturday Walter H. Caldar 4326 Dunbar us ln the lurch, they pushed out Into the middle of the floor, crowding all the dancers in the middle. l Then, again, at the S.C.M. dance Saturday night, about fifty Freshmen came stag, leaving about fifty Freshettes at home by the fireside who would have liked to come and Join In the fun. Now, I admit that we girls love to have a nice stag line, but don't you think that fifty unattached boys do rather complicated things? So, how about gttlng together with us, Freshmen? We are just dying to meet you. "DISGUSTED FRESHETTE" The Editor, Dear Sir: Aftr reading a column entitled "The Gatepost" In the Ubyssey for Sept. 28, I feel a little surprised at seeing a left-winger still sniping at the war. I thought they had all quit that when Hitler returned to "Fascist" status by invading their sacred Soviet. Tho present time is one of great crisis for our side in this war, Mr. Editor. Now is no time to detract from the issue by quoting trivial vignettes In our University paper. We should all, instead of questioning what is being done, question what ls not being done to win the war. I wonder what Gobemouche is doing to promote the cause of fredom of the civilized world a- gain3t Nazi Germany. Apropos of war poems I ■would recomend to him, one not in Munros, that Canadian poem, "In Flander's Fields:" I do not deny htm hia right to his opinions, but I would suggsst that you, as editor, deny him the Ubyssey in expressing his contempt of our cause. A suggestion has been brought forward by Oeorge Robertson, up- perclaaaman. In regard to the bookstore. Thla plan, In Robertson's opinion, would Improve th. performance of the atore by giving quicker service and cutting the cost of booka for the average freshman. Hta scheme ta outlined as follows: AU freshmen would have their feea Increased by a nominal sum which would go towards buying the booka necessary for the flrat year. At the end of the term and If the booka were In good Shape the atudent would be returned the greater part of the money. AU booka would be distributed to the freshmen leaving the bookstore free for the use of the up- perclaaamen. Ac-ordlng to Robertaon this would leave everyone ln a happier frame of mind.

DINE AND DANCE AT HOTEL VANCOUVER Bookstore Manager Retires After 17 Years on Campus • AMONG THOSE mowed down by the retirement clause at the University ls John "Geordy" Morgan, manager of the University Bookstore since 1924. Noted for his fluency in French and Italian, Geordy had formed many friendships while acting in this capacity and notice of his retirement was bad news to many senior students on the campus. Mr Morgan came to the Fair- view shacks from the position of chief plumbing inspector ot Vancouver and immediately proceeded to acquire an education during hia stay at the halls of learning. He obtained hia Junior and Senior Matrlc at the B.C. School of Pharmacy and Science, now known as "Bain's." In following yeara he attended extra-curricular and summer clas- es nnd graduated in 1931 with first class honours In economics. • The Indefatigable Mr. Morgan then gained hia M.A. in 1934 In the same subject. Since then a Master of Arts has sold booka to damp freshmen, who were Ignorant of their august company. The former manager hates to leave hla store now.

NOTE:—With thla dissertation by a former Sports Editor of thla paper, we begin our series of guest columns for thla year. We plan to present each week tho views of well-known sporta writers, both off and on the campus, and of other aport personalities. BY ORME DIER • IN THESE DAYS of trouble and strife it is extremely encouraging to chance upon a curt, clear opinion that can stand unaided despite the buffeting of the omnipresent propaganda. Such, in our humble and rather inarticulate opinion, ia the dictum of President L. S. Kllnck that puts Canadian football at U.B.C. into the limbo of beautiful memories. Becauae for once in our short and lndlstingulshed career as a columnist, we are able to agree wholeheartedly with the powers that be. Naturally a lot of maladjusted young behemoths on our evergreen precincts will feel rather bitter, about the prohibitions of their only means of escape from the grim realities of civilization, but we can dismiss them with • lateral Into oblivion. BEAUTIFUL FUTURE IMPORTANT For it is the ultimate things we must strive for here in our halls of higher learning. Picking up the technique of bashing in the collective faces of the Individual opposition might be permissible for the less erudite nations of the earth, but we in Canada must devote ourselves to higher things. Winning the war, for instance. And in line with the reasoning displayed ln thla obituary edict re football, we should like to humbly suggest that our good President take it onto hla substantial shoulders to abolish all and sundry athletic activities Indulged in by the undergraduates of our university. After all, our purpose out here ia to create good public feelings toward our institution and any education and physical fitness that we might acquire in the process is merely deplorably incidental. DAWNING Our feeble intellect is almost overwhelmed when the magnitude of this impending reform worms ita insidious way into our consciousness. Aa soon as our championship basketball is disbanded to knit socks for brats from Baluchistan; as soon as our smart soccer eleven is disintegrated into eleven round shouldered swotters; that great day when our world famous rugger fifteens accumulate blank minds and flat feet by an uninterrupted routine of study and drill; ah then, my friends will higher education have proved its worth to Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public, the taxpayer no less. Athletics in any form are merely an expression of prim- itivism that needs sublimation anyway, and the sooner we as the future leaders of our country realize that, the better for all. We need only to go as far as the tactics of the Nazi to prove the worthiness of our contention. Never in the history of warfare have finer physical specimens, on the average, been banded together on the express purpose of nihilism than today in the army of Hitler's ego. Therefore, If we are to oppose and overwhelm these monsters of physical perfection, what we need are not healthy, virile young people with plenty of stamina (and football) but intellectual young things who know the difference between Stalin and Mussolini but who couldn't route march any farther than the C.O.T.C. So by way of a conclusion, we wish to express our sincere appreciation of effort that ha& been put forth to abolish football and the sincere wish that the action ia used as a precedent to abolish other, demoralizing. athletics on our campus. No Guarantee Demanded By Alberta (continued from page 1) student body can rest assured that we are'doing that." McBRIDB SPEAKS For himself McBride had thia to aay. "Peraonally I aee no reason why there shouldn't be a limited footbaU aehcdul* this yssr. To expect atudenta to eome to Unlveralty snd do nothing but study snd attend military lectures snd parade. Is foolish. Not only football, but other aporta ar. at stake In this Issue for if footbaU Isn't aUowed on th. campus this year, why ahould there be any athletics at aU? For thla reason w. are doing all In our power to hav. th. deoislon of th. commltte. successfully appealed." Men'a Athtetlc officials hav. now revealed th. contents ef the teply frem Alberta. Th. Oolden Bmmw* agraed t. vlalt Vancouver for two gamea at Homecoming tlm., to tak. tbelr espaness from gate re- cetpta, and to demand no guarantee from thla Unlveralty. Th. games here would be for th. Hardy Cup, with Alberta probably playing Saskatchewan In another cup aeries on the Prairies. In view of thla favourable reply, the nearly forty-strong grid aspirants that turned out to practise last Friday seem justified in their numerous beefs. Representative of many are the views of one of last year's stars, Gus Carmlchael. CARMICHAEL SPEAKS He declares: "So much Interest has been shown ln footbaU thla year, especially by Froah and Sophmores, that It seems a shame that so traditional a aport ahould be abolished.' • GOLF CLUB and all interested ln beginners' instruction meet Wednesday in Arta 108 at 12:30. • • • • • TUMBLERS: Tumbling etarts this Thursday In gymnasium at 12:30. • MEETING of Men's Class Ath letic representatives, Thursday ln Mr. Van Vliet'a of Ice at 12:30. • • • * • FIRST MEETING of boxers and a'.l thoae wishing boxing competition or Instruction only on Friday ln the gymnasium at 12:30.

Johnny Farina, campus legend, declares: "Good heavensl It's criminal. I'm paying thirteen dollars Alma Mater fees. What for? Football. It has the shortest season on the campus. Aren't athletics an integral part fo army training?" MANAGER SPEAKS Manager Gordon MacFarlane believes: "If football is banned, it will be a shame for the players who are of age to go Into army training. By the time they come out they will be too old to enjoy the game." Miller Cup Rugby Abandoned Again • LATEST sporting casualty list from the U.B.C. front indicates that Miller Cup rugby has gone the way of Canadian football and the dodo bird for the reat of this year and probably for the duration. After a brief conference of Coach Tom Stewart, advisor Dr. Harry Warren and Manager Charlie Cotterall, lt was decided not to enter a Varsity team in the annual Miller Cup competition because of the conflict with the heavy military training schedule thla fall. So far no announcement regarding the McKechnie Cup tllta has been made, but lt ta believed that further negotiations will be carried on and It ta quite possible that the ttmoua blue-gold of the Thunderbird will be aeen in th. round robin aeries for the B.C. championship. INTRAMURALS BOOSTED Intra-mural rugger ia atlll on the booka though and thoae huskies willing and able to do a bit of organized bashing and booting will be able to expreaa their personalities tc their heart's desire by signing up on one of the alx proa- pecUve intra-mural fifteens thst have been tentatively lined up. Two Science and two Arta teama with an Aggie and a Froah outfit thrown In for good measure would provide plenty of material for a Varaity fifteen to enter competition from the outalde. SPORTATORIAL Only the Beginning • PRESIDENT Klinck's refusal to sanction a Canadian football series with Alberta brings to a head not only the football situation, not merely the question of intercollegiate sport, but the whole issue of athletics on this campus during wartime. Back of this individual case lies a minute passed at the first of the summer by the Council on Physical Education and Athletics approving the abolition of inter-collegiate sport. Members of the group seemed to feel that the spirit of the resolution was that under present conditions the Alma Mater Society could not afford the expense involved in sponsoring a travelling team. But there was no mention made at their meeting of the possibility of other teams travelling here at their own risk of loss, as Alberta has agreed to do. NO EXPENSE TO US Alberta's action, therefore, removes the biggest reason for legitimate action in forbidding the series with Alberta, that of expense. Disposing of this argument, what are the other reasons advanced by the authorities for their action ln the present instance? Those who proposed the series have been asked: "Can we field a good team?" and "Has Coach Van Vllet the time td spend on the venture?" To these questions the answers are: "Yes. Nearly forty men, enough for a team and two groups of substitutes, turned out to the first general practice last week." and "Yes. Because Maury gives up his dinner hour to -coach at the practices, on which most of the time needed for such a series is spent." Now, after clearing away these obstructions to discussion on the matter, we can turn to what really is the important dispute behind the whole matter, the question of time of the students and position of athletics or\ the campus. If, as it is argued by those who would forbid football this year, students can not afford to spend the time on sport, what of the position of other activities on the campus? DOES IT APPLY TO OTHERS? Are the Player's Club, the Musical Society, the Ubyssey, which are year round activities, to be banned because they take up too much time from schedules already full with military training? Are all campus organizations with male members to be banned? Or do we read too much into the actions taken in regard to the football series? Should we instead confine our suppositions to the field of sport? In that case, the next issue will be the fight to retain our position in basketball, the one sport carried on last year in full swing and the one in which our senior men's team, despite their army training, managed to win the Dominion championship. WHAT ABOUT BASKETBALL? When Jt is time to start the basketball season, will there come a decision banning the sport for this year? If there is not an effort to reverse the President's decision on football, and if there is no attempt to define the position of athletics this year, such is likely to be the case. That is why Council must fight the ban on football until a satisfactory situation on athletics is reached. That is why all those who believe as we do that sport, even in war time, must not be discarded so simply by edict, should back Council in this fight. • For Mon Only BY HARRY FRANKLIN • CRAMPED FOR TIME and apace, but anxiously awaiting completion of the Armoury to relieve congestion, Varsity's phyaical education program starts in earnest thla Thuraday with army pt. snd badminton. Army phyaical training, untU ahlfted to the Armoury floor, monopllzea practically aUavaUable periods. Tumbling, wreatling, badminton, volleyball and table tennia activity la slated for double duty, once Army recruits begin "play" in the new building. In any case, Vsrrity's Unkmen have acquired two Indoor practice driving ranges ln the Stadium. Th. apparatus aUowa actual Shot practice, where only theory and verbal commenta laat year were poaaible, Aa an added feature to 1841's golf program, local professional golfers are scheduled to lecture on fundamental techniques, Including proper grip, stance, swing follow through, and golfer's psychology on the course. Plenty of second hand clubs will b_ supplied for link enthusiasts at indoor drills. Figured highly in the mens' physical setup, play "within the walls" wUl resume action Indoors at noon on .Wednesday and Fridays. Outdoor competition is scheduled at various times. Ten teams, 4 Arts, 4 Sciences, 1 Anglican and 1 Aggie, aeem headed for a good year in volleyball, English rugby, golf, basketball, badminton, cross country. Softball and tug o' war. Pucksters Dream Up Trip to South • ICE HOCKEY wlU make its appearance again this year with the formation of a Senior team to be entered in the Commercial League.
