C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1947 No. 29 Leg Shows 'Unfit1 Say Profs Alberta Wants Repeat Contest Despite Ruling Edmonton, Nov. 13—(CUP) —University of Alberta students disagree' with western college presidents who declared recently that beauty contests "are not an appropriate activity for universities." Dr. Robert Newton, president of the university, told The Gateway, Alberta's campus newspaper, that presidents of the four western Canadian universities had officially frowned on beauty contests at their conference earlier this year. The Gateway asked its student readers, however, if they favored a western pagaent of pulchritude such as the one last year which brought beauty honors to Marion Albert, of UBC. Seventy-four percent of Alberta's men and 55 percent of its co-eds said "yes". But The Gateway concludes sadly that a repeat performance of the 1946 contest seems unlikely. 112 IRC Members Here For Meet "Can the split between East and West be reconciled" will be the chief topic at the northwest regional conference of International Relations Clubs to be held November 21 and 22 at Acadia Camp.

STUDENT EXCHANGE URGED TO SAVE WORLD DISCORD A solution to American-Soviet difficulties through the exchange of several thousand students between the two countries was proposed by H. G. Leach of the American- Scandinavian Foundation, in an address to UBC students Wednesday noon,. "I am sure thai the Russian students would nol be converted lo western democratic ideals and that the Americans would nol be converted to Communism, Therefore no harm would be done," lie .said. Stressing tlie need for international education to spread knowledge of North American culture Dr, Leach said, "All that is known of America in most countries—even in Scandinavia—i.s what is seen in Hollywood productions," 1. An editorial policy of "considerable destructive criticism." 2. Inadequate publication of news of club and society notices both with respect to future meetings and past events. 3. Fostering student discord. COUNCIL DECLINES Student Council heard the resolution and handed down their decision to "let USC fight its own battles" after a brief discussion. They recommended that Rosemary Hodgins, chairman of the committee, appoint a smaller group from her executive and arrange a meeting with the editorial board of The Daily Ubyssey in an effort to come to an agreement. The USC resolution asks that The Daily Ubyssey fulfill its "responsibility to the student body as a whole by reflecting, at the minimum, majority student opinion and interests." "TRUTH FOREMOST' The editorial board, meanwhile, contends that the fundamental responsibility of any newspaper is to truth. "We print what is true, even when it may displease certain members of the student body," they declare. The resolution asks further "the establishment of a recommended (underlined) editorial policy on broader and less prejudiced lines, designed to foster student unity rather than discord.'' "Any attempt to meddle with our editorial opinions will precipitate the immediate resignation of at least half of the editors, We have been appointed by Student Council to discharge our duties to the best of our abilities," the editors replied, SUGGESTIONS ASKED "If Student Council sees fit to adopt USC policy to the exent of asking for our resignations that is all well and good but outside of this action we (Continued on Page 3) SEE UNDERGRADS Dolman Speaks To Pre-Meds Dr. C.

RADIANT HEAT It is estimated by construction officials that the current allotment will allow for completion of the full building-frame, the finishing of the first and second floors, and the installation of full heating and lighting requirements. Heating in the T-shaped structure will be the radiant type, and the most up-to-date type of lighting equipment will be used with considerable fluorescent lighting in the main drafting rooms, Occupying the first and second floor of the south wing will be two large hydraulic and materials testing laboratories. One Will cover half the first floor and the other will occupy the rest of the first floor and all of the second floor wing. The two largest lecture rooms will seat 210 and 190 students respectively. SOIL STUDIES Other major labs are designed for work in concrete and soils, plus machine shops in conjunction with these labs. Further facilities will include large drafting rooms and offices for the faculty in the departments of Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering. All rooms will be acoustically treated. Forced ventilation will be employed where required] It is hoped that the building' will be ready for use at the beginning of the 1948 fall term. ISS Program Highlights Student Relief, Tours Student relief and the organization of study tours will be the twofold purpose of the million dollar program of the International Student Service for 1948, according to word received by the UBC headquarters in Geneva. Although originally established to"^- promote better international relations through student co-operation and exchange of ideas, the ISS has recently devoted all its energy to student relief. Thus it is that the student relief program is high on the agenda this year. Scholarships, medical aid, books, food and other facilities are to be provided to the two main areas of need, Asia and Europe. Officials plan to organize a money drive for the work later on. TOURS, CONFERENCE Of pertinent interest to UBC students is the program of study tours and university conferences. Selected student groups will be organized to study university, political and sociological problems. One group will study life in Hungary, Rumania and the Black Sea area, meeting at the universities of Budapest and Cluj. Another contingent will travel to Milan, Venice and other Italian cities to study Italian art and music. Other tours are scheduled for northern Europe, one in eastern France and Switzerland, while south Asia will bc the scene of another visit. Local officials are now appealing for student support in its drives, Those interested in aiding the ISS, or in taking part in any of the activities are asked to come to the meeting in Arts 103 tomorrow at 12:30.

Inter-Varsity Festival Scheduled For Manitoba Saskatoon, Nov. 13 — (CUP) — The Inter-Varsity Drama Festival, originally scheduled this year for the University of Saskatoon has been postponed temporarily and will be staged later at the University of Manitoba. Four western Canadian universities, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia participate in the annual festival which each year is held on a different campus. Lenn Jasechko, president of the drama directorate at the the U of S announced recently that the festival would not be held in Saskatoon be-^ cause it was impossible to get stage alterations made in time. He also stated that needed equipment could not be purchased. The recent fire at Convocation Hall, where the plays are usually staged, has made the building unavailable for an indefinite length of tune. Jasechko has wired the other universities taking part in the festival about the' cancellation and it is expected that they will meet at the Uni- versiy of Manitoba.

We want no part of broad statements which contribute nothing beyond what we are already attempting," The Daily Ubyssey replied. "Our sole purpose is to interest the maximum possible number of students in the space available," they added. At press time the Publications Board had received no word from USC as to the time or place of the conference.

It would be an impossibility to give all the credit where it is due. Al Lamb is another lineman who such men as Don Lord, Freddy French, Joe Fairleigh, and many more deserve mention. They are all members of a team that fought and fought hard—win or lose. ACTION FEATURED The first half saw a concentrated attack, which ended only when the Blue and Gold crew broke through the line and big Keith MacDonald crashed over for a try. Lions tied it up early in the second half when Len Mitten went over for the Reps only score. The winning score came when Hilary Wotherspoon, playing wing in place of his usual fulback slot, made good a penalty kick from near the Vancouver line. BIBDS MINUS HAINES 'Birds were playing under a definite handicap without the services of their regular coach Roy Haines, although Albert Laithewaite impressed both the team and the crowd of over a thousand spectators. Laithewaite has been named chief Rugger coach on the campus. Injuries plagued the Varsity line as both Harvey Allen and Geof Corey, last year's stars, were on the sidelines. With the first game safely tucked away the Birds are prepping for the renewal of the contests in the Spring. Meanwhile, Boxing Day will see the Lions tackle Victoria in the next tilt of the series.
