Aggie Students
Unite Commerce
And Agriculture
Inauguration of a new double degree in Agriculture and Commerce
was revealed this week by Dean F.
M. Clement of the Aggie faculty.
Although details for the new course
are not complete, the Board of Governors Is expected to ratify Its establishment at U.B.C. within tho very
near future. The course will take
flve years and will combine the
regular agriculture course with 15
units in Commerce.
"It's the only logical thing," was
Dean Clement's comment on the
new course as he pointed to the
greatest enrollment the agricultural faculty has yet had.
INCREASE
"When we flrst founded th. faculty
here, we never expected more than
100 students," he said. "We've been
over that quota for five years and
now we've got 160."
Ho added that the new five year
course would be invaluable for
' students who want training in th-e
' science of agriculture and at the
' same time desire sound grounding in
the principles of commerce.

QUESTIONS STATEMENT
P.A. SYSTEM
NOW IN USE
ON CAMPUS
Have you heard? The P.A. system
is now in use on the campus for tho
flrst time. It was donated by the
1939 Graduating class and was installed this summer in the Caf., the
Stadium, and th-e l_rock Building.
Harry Warner is in charge.
Aim of the Public Address system
is to notify as many students as possible about the meetings of clubs,
pep meeting, concerts, and other
Student activities, In a more con- '
venient way than the old method of
the megaphone In th-e Caf.
RULES
Rules for notices are as foUows:
1. Announcing Is done between
lectures and at noon hour.
2. Announcements must not exceed 15 words.
3. Announcements must be put

treasurer of the Alma Mater Soci-ety.
to the effect that such a combination
of class parties would lessen considerably expense to the individual.
"Since attendance at a class
party Is free to members of the
class concerned," Fouks argued,
"Individual expense Is simply
non-existent.
"" "Of course, people from other
classes) always do attend, but students who are so socially minded
will spend their money on outside
functions anyway, If the number
of University dances Is reduced.
Vou cannot force the Individual
to save.
"If it does save money I'm for it,
but otherwise it's just plain foolishness to cut out a tradition like the
i Junor Prom," Fouks concluded.
A SHAME

greatest function of the year," exclaimed Ruth Heyer, president of the

Walklng Into the Pub offices this
bright a.m., I was confronted by the
foaming visage of one Archibald
Paton, present editor of this sporta
(?) page. Between sundry flecks of
said spewing sasliva, yours truly
gathered that the sports page was
under imminent possibility of complete collapse as the result of drastic
lack of athletic activities on thla fair
campus of ours at the present time.
Briskly conjuring up the capabiUties
of the Tuesday side of his mental
unit, said editor remarked, quote,
"What happens to be a controversial
subject at the moment on the campus?" end of quote.
"Smokers and Knee-socks," I replied brightly.
"Since we are not permitted to divulge the bare facts of the Frosh
Smoker, you will produce a column
on Knee-socks. Also," he added as
an after-thought, "you will take unto
yourself all responsibility for the
effect of any remarks you may let
fall."
So although this may not seem to
you a very sporting subject, this department feels that such a widely discussed topic which has possibilities of
such grave effect upon the various
possessors of feminine pulchritude
around tho campus, should be dealt
with without delay. Accordingly,
yours truly sought out a number of
reliable sources of comment, and has
entered such herein for your perusal.

Yesterday Coach Maury Van Vllet
did not know where the opener of
th-e proposed four-game schedule
would be played, as Victoria wants
the students to travel to the Island,
and permission from University directors had not yet been obtained for
this jaunt.
If the game is played at tho Island
City U.B.C. players will be able to
get there and back in time for Tuesday lectures, Van VUet explained.
SHORT SCHEDULE
Maury hopes to have the schedule
rearranged so that all Varsity's games
will be played on consecutive Saturdays, thus shortening tho season so

that it will not interfere too much
with military training.
If this plan meets with the approval of league officials, Vorsljty
will play at Victoria next Monday (Thanksgiving); against Vancouver Bull-Dogs the following
Saturday night under the lights
at Athletic Park; entertain Victoria
at the Stadium October 26; and
finish up against Vancouver here
a week later.
Meanwhile, the turn-out at the
daily practises is very encouraging,
over thirty gridders showing up for
work Saturday afternoon after three
hours of military training.
Advance notices from the Victoria
camp reveal that the Revellers have
a vastly improved team this yoar.
They have been practising all summer, and Coach Van Vliet entert_ins

when the teams meet Monday.

First Comes
Military
Training
Restricted Program May Be
Improvised, Says Van Vliet
By ARCHIE PATON
Intramurals, Coach Maury
Van Vliet's pet hobby ever
since he came to U. B. C. as
Men's Athletic Director, are
due for a sudden and drastic
end on the campus.
In an interview late yesterday afternoon, Coach Van Vliet
revealed that the extensive program he had hoped to carry out
this term would have to go by
the boards in favor of military
training classes.
"It would be impossible
to run intramurals as planned," Maury said sadly,
"because most of the games
are scheduled for noon
hours, and that time is all
taken up by C.O.T.C. lecture and Basic Military
classes now."
RESTRICTED SCHEDULE
However, he added that a
meeting of all class athletic
representatives is being called
on October 15 to discuss what
can be done about drawing up
a much restricted intra-mural
program. At this meeting, the
representatives will examine
the time-tables of the various
military lecture and physical
education classes in the hopes
of working in an inter-class
schedule, so that interamurals
will not become absolutely
dead.
Previously, it was thought
that because of the restrictions
placed upon teams formerly in
outside competition intra-murals would enjoy a big year on
the campus, but apparently this
is not to be.

No Interfaculty
Rugby At Man.
WINNIPEG, OCT. 7, 1940 — There
will be no interfaculty rugby league
this fall.
This ls the biggest news eminattng
from our own home-grown B.M.D.
(Board of Momentous Decisions),
otherwise known as the A.B.C. However, as a sort of consolation prize
there will be an exhibition game between United and Medicals on Freshman Day, Oct. 11.
The above was decided at Friday's
meeting. The main reasons governing
this decision were:
1. Lack of time due to military
training.
2. Entry of junior team ln city
league (all Varsity players are ineligible for interfraternity games.)
Cagers Hold Workout; Tooke's Sign
Alexander
Last night the Senior A basketball
team held its first practise in the
gym. Under the guiding hand of
Maury Van Vliet, the squad of hopefuls, including such veterans as Flynn,
Scott, Johnson and Jo-Jo Ryan underwent the year's first workout. The
team looks good, and, according to
senior manager Scott this year's squad
may provo to be the answer to
Maury's dream of a championship
team.
After last Friday's meeting of basketball managers, senior boss Bob
Scott disclosed that three teams, the
Frosh, coached by Jim Bardsley, tha
Senior B and the mighty Senior A's
will be entered in league play.
Biggest basketball news, however, was the announcement that
last year's star, Doug Alexander,
has signed for Tookes, opposition
squad ln tho Senior A league.
Are there any girls who are interested ln tap dancing? Miss Moore
is giving lessons In the Gym on
Tuesdays ad Thursdays at 9:30.
A play and playgrounds supervision
class will start on Tuesday at 11:30.
Another class will be held.on Thursday at the same hour. The course
will include such things as theory of
play, graded games, value of play, etc.
The course requires 25 hours and is
50 per cent, practical work. It ls
hoped that some time will be spent
under actual playground conditions.
Any girls who are interested in club
work or who plan to teach should be
interested in this course.
