Official opening of the building, first permanent unit added to the campus in 20 years, will come November 1 on Homecoming Day. Soundproofing Muffles Many Noises In New Physics Building The first problem UBC physics students had to solve when they moved into their still-unfinished building this week was: "Why can't we hear the carpenters banging out in the hall?" —<$> And the answer was to be found in their own textbooks, for the class- SCM Holds Fall Camp Saturday Varsity's Student Christian Movement will hold a Fall Weekend Camp at Ocean Park on Saturay, Sunday and Mondty next, club officials told the Daily Ubyssey yesterday. Theme of the camp will be "What Chistianity Has Today", with three camp leaders heading the discussion. They are Rev. Lindsay Stewart of UBC, Mr. Hutchinson, formerly of the YMCA and a third speaker to be chosen from the ranks of the SCM. The discussion led by the SCM member will be supplemented by the reading of the report on politics of the National Conference, recently heid at Geneva Park, Ont. Added features of the weekend program will be sports, dances and parties. Students wishing to attend should contact either Ross Connal or the SCM office.

Wind instruments will rehearse at 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 15 in the Auditorium; String instruments on Thursday, October lfi, In the Auditorium. rooms of UBC's ultra-modern nev home of science are fully padded with soundproofing. Physics students began to use the handsome new unit on Monday, although workmen were still hammering out the finishing touches along the wide, spacious halls and in tlie basement. Students who tested out the air- conditioned main classroom, holding 275 persons, gasped in amazement at their "miniature theatre.' The room is equipped with soundproof movie projector booth, tiered seats and acoustics which carry the professor's words to every corner of the hall. The main classroom, and two others on the ground floor, are walled off completely from the outside, and depend on modern, artificial light for illuminaton. Faculty members have moved into bare offices on the completed second floor and labs on the upper storey are now in almost daily use. The building's basement still is roped off while workmen complete furnishings and hammers are at work along the main floor as well. Official opening of the structure comes November 1 on UBC's Homecoming Day, Five Students Victims Of Local Bicycle Thieves Bicycle thieves on the campus have victimized five University students in two weeks, Tlie wave of thefts broke out September 23, the second clay of lectures, when a student reported his bicycle missing from the cycle shed near the power house. Jokers Pile Junk In A M S Offices, Protest Eviction From Campus Hut YES, MOYLS REALLY 'PROF' BUT IT'S BROTHER OF LUKE "" There's many a Moyls in the news these days. The person who phoned the pub office the other day did want a Professor Moyls, Luke Moyls informed the Daily Ubyssey, Wednesday. Professor Moyls is a mathematics lecturer on the UBC campus, and has recently returned from Harvard with a Ph.D. He received his M.A. here; and won the Governor General's medal upon graduation in 1940. "He's my big brother," said Luke. Since then, a second theft has been reported from the shed, one from the Science building, one from the Library and one from Acadia Camp. Only two of the missing' machines have been recovered, Provincial police on Ihe campus reported. Constable J. W. Dowling, head of ill L'ni\\ersily police detachment, warned students Wednesday to keep bicycles locked while on the campus. Robberies could be avoided, be advised, if bicycles were left locked in (he racks provided near the campus power house.

Tickets are priced at a special rate ^ of $2.45, including tax. The specially chartered train will leave Great Northern station at 3 p.m., and the return trip will commence from Bellingham at 11 p.m. Saturday. Joker Army Hut Headquarters Taken By Fish, Outdoor Clubs By HAL TENNANT Varsity's Jokers Club is out in the cold. But members of the zany campus club are not joking about it. Finding themselves ousted Wednesday noon from their club rooms in favor of Fish and Game and Varsity Outdoor clubs, the Jokers, armed with furniture, established a beachhead in the offices of AMS President Grant Livingstone. The excursion, the first of its kind on a large scale since the war, offers students and their friends all the excitement and fun of travelling en masse to witness the Thunderbirds in action, plus the added advantage of economy. A number of tickets were sold as ;oon as the box office in the Quad opened Wednesday noon. The office will be open at the same time Thursday. Tickets are also on sale at the Great Northern depot. Those plan. ning to make the trip south are advised to get their tickets early, as accommodation is limited. Concert Tickets For Student Sale Season tickets to Sunday concerts of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, reserved for the members of the Symphonic Club, are now open to all students on the campus at reduced rates. Students may obtain reserved seats in the special student block for $7.00 fcr ths remaining eleven concerts. These tickets are imited and must be obtained before the next concert. October 17, in the Orpheum Theatre. Tickets are on sale at the AMS office. Council Approves Jabez Memorial "Jabez", retired campus columnist, will have a memorial, if sentiments expressed by members of the Student Council at a meeting last Monday night are shared by the student body. The plan for a "memorial to laughter" in honour of the Ubyssey humourist received official approval from Council members, who were asked to give permission for a public subscription campaign to raise funds for the proposed tribute, Les Bewley, who first raised the suggestion in "The Children's Hour", expressed himself as delighted by Council support, and said the collection will get underway next Tuesday. Collection cans will be placed at a number of points on the campus, and students will be invited to make their contributions at that time. "But please remember that we are asking for small contributions only" Bewley said. "Nothing larger than ten cents will be accepted, and nickles are especially welcomed," "This is to be a memorial to laughter, and you can't ask a man to feel amused if you ask him to part from a quarter." They moved in a mass of moth eaten old furniture in a demonstration designed to show the harried Mr. Livingstone that the Jokers are not "defunct" as some had believed. WANT BAR Shoving their furniture into the residents'e office, the organized clowns of the campus opened their meeting with a rousing song that echoed throughout all of Brock Hall and sent shudders down the spines of the plagued office workers nearby Their discussion of plans for remodelling the office along "more suitable' lines, including the addition of a bar and a modern ventilation system was interrupted by the arrival of Livingstone and AMS Treasurer Bob Harwood. Livingstone refused Joker demands for space, stating that he must have some proof of the strength of numbers of the allegedly defunct clowns. Harwood attempted to quell the Joker demands by asking for "concrete" suggestions as to how the AMS Council is expected to house all the clubs on the campus under present crowded conditions. Joker Al Beesley silenced the money-minded Harwood with a quick comeback. "De we have to take over ALL the jobs on the campus," the asked. LIVINGSTONE REFUSES Jokers showed little dismay at the repeated refusals of the Council members present to "do something' about the housing conditions. Proof of numbers and support, Livingstone said, would be the only way Continued on Page 3 <$- JOKERS PLANT HAYWARD Nurses Help Blood Drive Varsity's Nurses Undergraduate Society will wear full uniform on the campus today to publicize the present blood donor campaign. Up to Wednesday night 928 students had volunteered their blood. Support to the drive so far has been relatively disappointing, Rosemary Hodgins, president of the drive committee, told reporters yesterday. The committee hopes that the number of signees will show an increase by be end of the week, in order to attain the objective of 3000, she said. Students who are willing to give one pint of blood to the Red Cross bank are asked to sign their names to the lists on one of the various tables around the campus. Each student is asked to arrange an appointment for a time best suited to his individual •time table. ' Instead of the system used last year, a mobile unit operated by the Red Cress will visit the campus. Complete up-to-date in every respect, the unit is capable of handling 80 donors per hour. Socialists Reluctant To Assume Party Name At least one "political" club on the campus will seek to circumvent AMS orders requiring such organizations to adopt the name of the party they embrace. Members of the Student Socialist Forum voted almost unanimously Wednesday to ask permission from Students Council for approval of their name and charter as orginally set out.

Student President Grant Livingstone told the meeting he had "always understood that the Forum was allied in spirit to the CCF party." "Since the Forum was founded solely for the discussion of Socialism, it would destroy its purpose if it were allied to any political party," member Rod Young replied. A motion to link the Forum with the CCF was tabled. Members of the club plan talks by Harold Winch, Tom ALsbury, Hazen Argew and possibly Henry Wallace. Previously, student Treasurer Bob II.rwe.od warned "political" clubs they must change their names to the Continued on Page e> parties they embrace, or face suspension of grants.

CITY EDITOR THIS ISSUE JOAN GRIMMETT ASSOCIATE EDITOR, HAL TENNANT bn-H-H-H-H-H-H The tempest-in-a-teapot concerning caf privileges hit a new high Monday night when Grant Livingstone pronounced a ruling of the chair denying representatives of the Daily Ubyssey from reporting council discussion of the problem Livingstone's ruling brought a storm of protest from the editorial board of the newspaper. His reasons are obvious. He did not want a re-occurance of the difficulties he experienced last week when the Ubyssey carried a factual report on the original council action: not to council's approval. Although the Ubyssey does not wish to take any editorial stand on the question of caf tables, it does most certainly wish to keep the student body informed on the disposition of council on this, and on all other matters. We cannot, however, fulfill this function —the very foundation of the constitution of the Ubyssey—if its reporters are to be barred from covering the meetings of the campus legislators. Actually, the Ubyssey represents your only check on council. If the Ubyssey is barred, council is left free to do as it wishes. This, in the name of the students, but without the knowledge of the students, We will be the first to concede that a certain degree of censorship is to the public advantage, and mutual good. But we feel that the Ubyssey can make its own decisions. We do not wish and we do not intend to become the tool of the student council. Furthermore, Livingstone's action is entirely unconstitutional. Nowhere in the code or constitution of the AMS is there any clause or even inference that council meetings are closed. Attendance at the regular Monday night meetings is open to all students. The formality of requesting permission is normally observed but such permission cannot be refused. Finally, we strongly believe that the elected representatives of the student body— elected to represent, mind you—should be held responsible for what they say and for what they believe. It is not sufficient that the students be informed only of the motions passed. They must be told the complete story. • We ask the student body to come to the defence of the Daily Ubyssey. We ask that they urge their representatives on the Undergraduate Societies Committee to make a recommendation that no such untoward action be taken in the future, once over hardly By HAL TENNANT THE MAD TEA PARTY "I give up," said Alice, "what DOES happen to the other $30,000?" Alice looked down the long table to where a bulky form in a red sweater was dipping a slide rule into his cup of tea. "That's just what I said," the scarlet form retorted, "what DOES happen to the other $30,000?" Alice was just going to say 'I don't know either' when the Scienceman stopped stirring his tea and began to wGrk the slide rule back and forth with a speed that astonished Alice considerably. "Don't interrupt!" the scarlet man barked. Alice hadn't said a word. "But I didn't say a thing," Alice protested. "Copy cat," he jeered. "You were talking but you didn't say a thing. Trying to copy the precedent set by the Engineer spokesman at the AMS meeting, eh?" "But I wasn't trying to copy anybody," cried Alice, getting more perplexed by the moment. "Don't interrupt," the Engineer retorted again. He was working the slide rule at a terrifiic rate, dipping it every so often into his tea. Around his place at the end of the long table were tiny tea stains caused by drops that had spattered off the slide rule from the rapid motion of his calculations. "Anyhow, I've almost found it," he continued. SUGAR IS SCARCE Alice was just going to ask how he expected to find sugar in his tea when he hadn't put any in, but she was afraid of being told again not to interrupt. "Would you like some sugar," Alice enquired politely. "Would we ever!" he chortled. "About five thousand worth." Alice wondered why he would need five thousand dollars' worth of sugar in one cup of tea, and with sugar so scarce, too. "Well, it's right in frnt of you," Alice was trying to be helpful. "But there's not five thousand dollars' worth in that little bowl," she added. The Scienceman was peering very closely at his slide rule. "Of course not!" he snapped. "It's right here somewhere. Now lemme see. Five symphony concerts divided by five tihousand Sciencemen. That's a thousand Sciencemen per concert. That's great isn't it." "I guess so," said Alice, hesitating, "but I thought the Sciencemen didn't go to the symphony concerts." "Of course we don't!" he snapped back. "That's why it's great. We can stay away in thousands and still have Sciencemen left over to go to the banquet," Alice was going to ask why the same Sciencemen who stayed away from the symphony concerts couldn't go to the banquet. "It would sort of save manpower, too," she thought to herself. "Yes, it would save manpower," the Scienceman agreed with her. "I didn't say anything," Alice said. IT TAKES TIME "Don't interrupt," he said. "Besides, we gotta work out a schedule." He slipped the slide rule back into his tea cup and was dividing the little tea stains into groups with his drafting pencil. "Now lemme see," he mused. "I can't possibly stay away from all five concerts." "Why not." Alice asked. "Too busy, stupid!" he said, "Far too busy." "But it doesn't take time to stay away from concerts," Alice protested. "Of course it does!" the Redshirt exploded. "If you stay away from the concert you have to be somewhere else. And if you have to be somewhere else, you can't possibly go to the concert. And if you haven't got time to go, how can you possibly find time to stay away?" Alice didn't know. "But why couldn't you just stay away from two or three and go to the rest?" she said. "Riff raff!" said the Scienceman. "Did you ever go to a symphony where they serve beer, and everybody brings a bottle and gets tight as hell?" "No, and I wouldn't want to!" Alice was annoyed at the grinning, vulgar monster in the red sweater. "Well, we do!" he chortled. "And iss wunnerful. Precedent, I mean. Free banquets for twenty-one years. Everybody gets tight as hell." He winked slyly. "And all for free, too." "I guess that's what happens if you get too much sugar in your tea," thought Alice as she got up from the table. "And listen to him now. He must be hungry again. Or why else would he be sitting there shouting for five thousand clams?" LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WARNING Dear Sir: Warning!

An extensive publicity campaign conducted through the press and radio and enlisting the aid of service clubs and church organizations has helped to find roms for most of the applicants, but there are still many on the waiting lists. The University of Westeern Ontario has set -up a housing service to aid in the housing quest of out-of-town students returning to London. "The Gazette," the undergraduate newspaper, reports that it is the married students, especially those with families, who are having the greatest trouble in finding shelter. At the University of Saskatoon, similiar difficulties are being encountered by returning students. As many as 250 married students were reported at one time to be without rooms.

Like the old woman in the shoe, Oscar's mother had just too many ahildren so Oscar was turned out in the cold. (There were thirteen in the litter and she was superstitious. Spurned by his family, Oscar took to the bottle and under Bud's tender care, grew surprisingly well. He was kept for a week in one of the guinea pig cages of the animal nutrition lab, here he subsisted on cow's milk. Outgrowing this diet he took over the digestion stall, usually used for feeding trias, where his diet was changed to a gruel of calf meal and warm milk. Two weeks later he was ready to take it straight and switched to dry meal and milk, THE GYPSY IN HIM Like the prodigal son, Oscar has a tendaney to wander and keep the animal husbandry boys busy retrieving him from Acadia camp and other nearby haunts.

At first determined to hold out in an organized "sit down" in the President's offee, the Jokers later receded with a decision to set up organized picket lines around the AMS offices today. "The Engineers ought to back you alright," Livingstone put in, "their budget was a bit of a Jokers' effort." The Jokers left the President with two alternatives. Either he is to move in with the Fish and Game Club and give them his office permanently, or the Fish and Game club will have to move into the President's office and let the Jokers carry on in their old quarters, members of the club said.

And if the old adage, practice makes perfect, has any virtue in it then the Kabatmen should be right in there. With fundamentals now completely mastered, Kabat has been concentrating on backfield timing this past week and. results have been encouraging. VIKINGS TOUGH Western Washington will be no pushover, however. The Vikings are rated as the best in the WINCO league and the WINCO loop is just one step down from the Pacific Coast Conference. Meanwhile, Mamooks have completed arrangements with Great Northern for a special UBC train to carry rooters to Bellingham. The train leaves Great Northern Station Saturday at 3 p.m., arriving in Bellingham about 4:45. Upwards of 500 UBC students are expected to take advantage of the special $2.45 return fare. Also included in the passenger list are cheer leaders, drum majorettes, Arthur Del- amonte's University band and the Varsity pipe band. Hoop Squads Now Training Once again basketball has begun its pre-season attempt to outshine the brilliance of the UBC American grid machine. Casaba mentor Bob Osborne has already started regulating and dividing practice time among the varied teams, and ex-Birds and ex-Chiefs have been turning out regularly since UBC opened. STARS RETURN From last year's starry aggregation, Bob Haas, Harry Kermode, Pat McGeer, Johnny Forsyth, Jimmy McLean, and Nev Munroe have returned. Lentham and Mitchell from the 1946 Chiefs will also be out with Trev Shaw, Pete Walker, Suds Sou- therland, Dougie Bell and Big Bill Bell, as well as a host of other "name" players. NEW MEN Some pretty fair hopefuls have been seen on the maple courts in the last few days. Standouts are Art Phillips and Rob Abercrombie from last year's Dunbar Team. Things don't look too good for the Intermediate prospects this year. Latest word from Vancouver has it that the Varsity teams will not be allowed to participate in the inter-city league play. It is hoped however that the Physical Education Department will be able to organize a sort of "house system" to allow men of intermediate age and ability to play a little ball in their spare time. "In this way we will be able to watch for good players and prepare for their advancement up to better teams," says coach Osborne. HOMECOMING First (banco for the eager crowds to see tbe Thunderbirds team in action will be on Homecoming Night vhen they will meet the Grad's team in their annual tiff. FEM BIG BLOCK There will be a meeting of the Women's Big Block Club, Friday at 12:30, in the Mildred Brock Room. Important, all members present. OLYMPIC POSSIBILITY—With knees bent lanky Gar Robinson pivots smoothly as he speeds down a slope at 50 miles an hour. Gar will be one of the big threats for the Varsity Ski Team this year. Coach Peter Vajda promises good results from his squad in the big meets planned for the coming winter. Varsity Ski Squad Looks Invincible Won't Lose Meet This Year - Bluechel Skiing hits the big-time again this year according to an exclusive statement made to the Daily Ubyssey yesterday by Al Bluechel, diminutive and volatile Secretary-Treasurer of the newly-formed Varsity Ski Club. Bleuchel is confident that his team can't lose a meet this year. Last year they lost only one, to the University of Washington. However, after exams in the spring the UBC plank stars spent six weeks at Garibald Park training under Peter Vajda, chief ski coach for Western Canada. Next month a special instructor from the States will train the* boys in what proved last year to be their weakest spot, jumping. At present the team trains up Mount Bbker every weekend and sandwiches four P.T. periods a week between lectures. CHRISTMAS MEET Things will really get hot around Christmas time when the boys prepare in earnest for the U.S. National Intercollegiate Championship to be held December 28 at Sun Valley, Idaho. It was at this meet last year that the UBC crew were nosed out by only a few points by Washington. This year with Washington deprived of three of their key men, Bleuchel is sure that the Varsity boys will come home with the silverware. UBC wil be the defending champs at. the Canadian Intercollegiate ski meet at Banff in February. Other meets feature team work, but at Banff the boys have a chance to gain glory for their individual efforts. EXPERIENCED MEN Garvin Robinson, who holds the Western Canadian downhill and slalom championship, is a cinch to cop honours there, Arnie Teasdale, John Frazee, Doug Fraser, Don Anderson, Don Fernside, George Wood and Gordie Cowie won't be far behind Gar, All but Fernside and Wood were stalwarts of last year's team, and have benefited by their experience. Don Fernside is a terrific asset, for the boy shines in jumping. Last year al the Northwest Pacific Intercollegiate Meet he won the jumping contest* In March the spotlight will shine on Martin Pass, the home slopes of University of Washington, formerly UBC's only competition. Once again Bleuchel reminds us that U of W are minus three of their stars, and Varsity should hold the title of the Northwest Intercollegiate Meet, too. RUGGER English Rugger practices for all teams are being staged every afternoon on the upper field at 3:30. All candidates for Varsity and UBC entries are urged to turn out to the stadium immediately.
