Twenty-five dollars awaits the first ticket holder lo find him.\\ By GEORGE SIVERTZ fr Three hundred faculty members and students committed a gross discourtesy when , they neglected to applaude Mr. Adaskin and Frances Marr as they mounted the podium to begin a violin recital. The reverent silence in Brock Hall Sunday night suggested prayer to Professor Harry Adaskin. c In the silence, the UBC director of music, set his violin upon the piano, turned to the audience and said that he had never before in his career come upon a concert stage unap- p lauded. He admitted the group was, in effect, all one big happy family, but, lluu tl.at wa:; not sufficient reason for such extraordinary behaviour. He went on to say that at one time Debaters Try For Cup Team Failing UN, disunified Christian Churches and a Canadian Bill of Rights will be topics for debate when IVTneGoun Cup debating tryouts get under way November 15 and 16. Students will vie for the honor of representing UBC in the final debate v. ith University of Alberta in January. They may choose either the negative or affirmative side of any of the topics, Sir Thomas Beecham told him if ever such an occasion arose one should turn to the audience and in reverent tones suggest that we all pray. After Mr. Adaskin's mild, entertaining reproof he received a solid round of applause. student clubs or organizations. | The president's ruling came as a! result of an attempt by a student I group to bring Hewlitt Johnson, "Red i Dean of Canterbury" to the campus. At UBC, Don Lanskail, president of the United Nations Club is negotiating with the Council for Soviet Friendship in hopes of bringing Dr. Johnson to the campus. No definite word has yet been received. Lanskail has been assured, however, that if Dr. Johnson comes to Vancouver, he will speak at UBC. Dr. Johnson would find it difficult, it was explained, to work in a Vancouver appearance between engagements in Seattle and Denver.

Writer Never By ART WELSH I did a "slow roll" in the Aero Club's new Link trainer, After a great deal of coaxing by several of the Aero Club members and some members of the Daily Ubyssey staff I was convinced that I should take a ''trip" in the trainer. I started flying to "the horizon" al first and I thought I did pretty well. Harry Kolcler, who assembled the machine and i.s instructing on it, said that 1 was going to do my slow roll. "Put your head on your right shoulder and bank the plane to the right. Now put your head over on your left shoulder." QUART OF RYE I relied.

The machine can he grooved to any distance scale and draws a detailerl route ol' where you travel. The plane is operated by radio signals, or ''blind."

GENERAL STAFE: News Editor, Bob Cave, Novia Heberl; Features, Ray Barnes; CUP Wltor, Jack Wasserman; Photography Director, Ellanor Hall; Sports Editor, Chuck Marshall; Editors This Issue - CHRIS CliOlVtBlE-LAURA HAAHTI n Search of a Responsible Press Thursday's debate at the Parliamentary Foirum, a discussion on the service offered by the Daily Ubyssey, brings to mind the interesting question of a newspaper's responsibility td the community it serves and the control which that community can, or should exert on the press. Few newspapers enjoy the opportunity of gleaning from their subscribers the first hand, objective criticism which the Forum will offer this week. Newspapers have sought in the past to discover the real needs of their customers, they have established expeifeive commissions on a "free and responsible press" to find the anwers. but today's citizens still only one weapon against a wayward press; "Tell the boy to stop bringing your rag." The force of public opinion, or more exactly subscriber opinion, is obviously insufficient guarantee against journalistic malpractice. The newspapers of the world which seem less objective, least responsible ahd least fit to lead their communities still boast seven digit circulation lists and bulging revenues. What other course is open to assure the ideals of factua} reporting which otir laws guarantee but do not assure? Oiher public utilities, railways, power corporations, even radio stations must answer to public boards and commissions established by government. If such public bodies could ever be divorced from the politicians who appointed them, or even if objective • journalism 'could | ever be defined, rtewspaber "cohimissiohs'' might bring to the press the saitie restraints I now held over railways and other public suppliers. No government has ever succeeded in this task, and presumably hone ever will. Only an alert and intelligent audience can excer- cise the control of the press which chctatoi-s have been the first to usurp.

MX. better magnets make Jobs for Canadians In ancient days; the lodestone was the available permanent jnagnet and was known in almost every country. In 1492, a piece of this mineral actuated the compass which guided Columbus across thc Atlantic. Today man, through research, has learned to make magnets to suit ma'ny of his requirements. Recently a small experimental magnet was made which lifted 4450 times its own weight. This magnet was made of "Alnico" an alloy of aluminum, nickel and cobalt with iron. Because of its increased efficiency, this new magnet is being employed for a wide range of uses. It has brought about a revolution in the design of meters, instruments, radios and generators, and is finding its way into numerous other industrial applications. The growing demand for magnets of this ^x^?*-^ kind provides an entirely new market for *&gy -/ Canadian Nickel. This new market creates new jobs for Canadians both in the Nickel industry and in industries which make magnets and products containing the magnets. Thus does research develop better products, create more employment. % mt :m xxMk I a 575 Granville St. j Just Up From Pender MA. 6942 Public Stenography Manuscripts, Mimeographing Typing, Theses CATHERINE STEWART KErr. 1407R -<£~x sy ,*s//y/yy'.

However, the sad situation rcal- ly hit home on Saturday when the student cagers lost the first 'Bird- Grad contest in recorded history. It wasn't the loss itself that really mattered but rather the greenness that the present Thunderbird squad is displaying and how it will affect the future of the game on the campus. Soup To Nuts Tlie smallish crowd of spectators were treated with everything from soccer to tag team wrestling in the rough and tumble affair. About the only things they did not see was a brand of basketball that will allow the 'Birds to make a showing in the classy Evergreen conference which they enter after Christmas. Most of the crowd went away feeling that they had been entertained but carried trepidations about the future when the 'Birds start playing something more serious than a Homecoming tilt. Whether the team's lack of polish can be attributed to the youth of both the season and the players is a pertinent question at this time. Mayb e Perhaps under thc skilled tutelage of Mr. P. the cagers will bc able to irojft out some of the wrinkles which held them up on Saturday. Signs of the 'Birds progress can better be judged a couple of weeks from now when they run up against Seattle Pacific College in a two game exhibition series here, respective belts and will give ,a By that time they should have a lot more practice under their better indication of what can be expected from UBC's senior hoop squad. One thing that, can be said for the ■ Grad contest was that the student cagers showed plenty of hustle and enthusiasm for the game. Unfortunately, that's not enough however, to make up for tho hall- kicking, free-shooting brands of basketball that was displayed. To Be Or Not To Be If Pomfret can smooth off the squad's rough corners in time for conference play we can look forward to another successful hoop season. If he can't, basketball, one of UBCs better efforts against teams from the south, may degenerate (and we pray not) to the state of football off the campus. It's up to you Jack, and every sports enthusiast at UBC i.s plugging for your success'. HOLY TERMOR of the UBC Thunderbirds la .si Saturday was Idaho's untopaole halfback Tom Winbigler pictured above packing the ball. • Not only did Winbigler make over 300 yards on the ground for,the visitors but personally went over for three touchdowns and set up two more. Bringing down the galloping Coyote are Thunderbirds Webo Clarke (21) and Dougie Reid (38). Luckless 'Birds Swamped By Rampaging Coyotes Grads Subdue 'Birds In Hoopla Classic 'Birds Lack Experience; Mitchell, Forsyth and Southcott Promising UBC's Thunderbird basketball team went down to defeat in the UBC gym Saturday night in the annual Grad-'Bird baskeball game by a 57-49 score. Bodies all achin' and wracked with pain a badly beaten Thunderbird grid squad faces this Saturday's game against Lewis and Clarke secure in the thought that the last has been seen in these parts of a fellow named Tom Winbigler. But hopes for a Thunderbird victory this year were dimmed with the news that Lewis and Clarke, last season's only victim had triumphed over Willamette Friday night. The Pioneers undefeated so far this year, won by a count of 14-13, There weren't any alibis when the Birds lost to College of Idaho by a 40-6 score, Saturday. The Coyotes were just that much better. GOOD GAME It was a good game from the point of view of the fans for they were treated to a sight of one of the finest hacks in small college ball in action. Winbigler, already boasting an impressive 6.9 yards per carry average boosted his stock with the people who select the Little All-America by carrying the ball 295 yards in 15 tries. SPEED MERCHANTS But Clem Parbcrry had more than one prong for his vicious ground at- Hack. Every one of his backs had speed to burn and when they shook loose there wa.s no UBC man on the field who could even match strides with them, let alono catch up when they were away. Tho Homecoming game played before some 4500 fans pointed-up more than one basic deficiency in the Blue and Gold line-up, SPORTS EDITOR CHUCK MARSHALL Editor This Issue - DOUG MURRAY-ALLAN But the story does not end quite yet. In fact it has just' begun. Most of the crowd that filled the gym to near capacity went away with the pleasant feeling of having seen more good basketball than they Vhcught they were in store for when they first arrived. GRADS STRONG It was a very powerful Grad team that look the floor against the young fledgling 'Birds the other evening. It boasted such prominent and recent Bird stars as Weber, Kermode, Haas, Scarr, Bakken, Stevenson, Robertson, was going to be the Grads turn to win and others. A very few pec.pie doubted that it cine of the annual games and true to foim they took their first victory. Bui' if the Birds did not win they looked like something that is surely ,'.:oing to develop into'a winning ball dug. INEXPERIENCE This year's team is slightly on the inexperienced side as fa.r as collegiate ball is concerned. There are only six men returning from last year's team roster. Reid Mitchell looked very good in the game. Mitchell has still got' the speed and fire so necessary to a top flight collegiate guard and his accuracy of shooting will make him an important factor in the sucess of this year's club, „ [,. <£- FORSYTH BETTER Big John Forsyth is very nicely getting over the reputation of being a clown which the crowd has dubbed him with in recent years. Some of the lanky center's dunk pivot shots were pretty to watch Saturday night, KEID WAS GOOD Dougie Rgid wiin I'ci-li'd off ill yila. on that ground dmau"; the gam,' seemed to ho ii.e an!;, a,an an the field who cou'd coii.-issU nily make gains auaiust tho strong opposition. Ah'houuh badly hurl twice, he slid carried the brunt of the sporadic UBC attack. Il was lack of experienced reserves that helped beat the Thunderbirds. Don Wilson had to play his first team until they dropped and then replace deem with untried reserves. Varsity Edges Rowing Club For Fifth Win Varsity ruggermen edged out Rowing Club 6-3, in a gruelling tilt at Brockton Point last Saturday. Thi.s win i.s the fifth straight for the students, and it virtually assures them of claiming the coveted Miller Cup. The game was slow and rugged, neither team could seem to get go- ign and it was well into tho end of the first period before either side scored. Rowing club hung up the first tally when Barry Morris booted a penalty kick. Shotly after, Ron Grant broke away for a Varsity marker. At half time the score stood 3-3. Luck was with the students in tlie aecoiid half. Both sides were held scoreless until the closing minutes nf Ihe e.aine, when Rus Latham wa.s able lo hoot the deciding tally to • ■:. !,a i' a. somewhat belated win for Var.gi y, Meanwhile, CBC was subdued for 'lee I'ii'lii lime in as many Si.irt' by a powerful South Burnaby squad. The students were hopelessly outclassed in the first half and it was not until the econd that they showed some signs of life. Tlie final score showed South Burnaby on top with a 14- 8 victory. Soccer Teams In Twin Loss Over Weekend Norquay showed the class that has carried them to the top of the Vancouver and District' soccer league by throwing the previously unbeaten Varsity eleven for a 4-1 loss on the Campus, Saturday. More than 30 fans, biggest crowd to watch a soccer game on the campus in the last two years, were on hand for the rugged, hard hitting contest. Big Dave Thompson was brought out of retirement to replace injured Don Gleig, and played a whale of a game at centre during the first half. After the breather, Captain Jack Cowan took over at center, with Thompson dropping back to the fullback slot. Cowan bagged the only Varsity goal late in the second half after Norquay had taken a 3-0 lead. The first two Norqauy tallies were strictly of the horseshoe variety, and Varsity carried most of the play in the first half. In an intermediate fixture on Sunday, the UBC broke into the scoring column for the first time this yew, although they went down 5-2 to Legion 148, Leon Umberto and Brian Guinlan picked off UBC goals. f ',1 f yr ^v y* % . «., <*,'-<' ^ " A -;^"\\ < >^ y^$_ BASKETBALL PRACTICE Intcr-A.
