SENIOR PHOTOS 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. A.M.S. Meeting \\In Auditorium \\Noon*: Today Students wlU turn out In the Auditorium at noon today to take part In their Alma Mater Meeting —symbol of student democracy. Besides club budgets, which will be presented by treasurer Peter McTavlsh, It Is expected that questions such as the dropping of the Junior Prom and the keeping open of Brock Hall will be discussed by students. Students Demand Be Opened For E PUB MEETING Reporters' meeting will be held on Wednesday noon. All reporters who would like to hold their jobs will do well to fUter Into the Pub sharp on time. No excuses will be accepted, even If grandmother's funeral Is held that day. Funerals can be postponed, but tho Ubyssey must go on. NO EXPENSE ii ii Maintain Prom Tra Students Urge Council Angered at the breaking of a time-honoured tradition, stu dent leaders are almost unanimous in their condemnation of the Student Council's recent decision to combine the Junior Prom with the Senior Class party, 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 In the book on the Mamook's table In the Caf., or in .the Mamook's room at least one day previous to the broadcast. The same applies for orders for signs. Parliamentary Forum leader Arthur Fouks questioned the statement made last Tuesday by Peter McTavish, 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 "I think it's a shame to cancel the greatest function of the year," exclaimed Ruth Heyer, president of the Player's Club, "The Prom usually HOME COMING PROGRAM RATIFIED HEALTH EXAMINATIONS AU men attending University for the first time must be examined by the University Health Service. The Military examination alone Is not sufficient. Men who have not already made an appointment for a physical examination should make one today at the University Health Service Office. Starting with a Pep Meeting on Friday (25) and ending with a mighty Pot-Latch in th-e Auditorium Saturday night, Homecomi*-! week, organized by Student Council member Charlie Nash, was ratified by the Students Council at a special meeting last night. The program Is as follows: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25— Pep Meeting. Alumni Banquet and Homecoming RaUy in the Brock Hall. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2C- Blg Block Luncheon football Game, Tea Danoe, and Pot- Latch in the Auditorium. Monday, October 14, has been proclaimed Thanksgiving Day. Tho University will be closed on that day. ***?*- - ■ ■ ^p. - 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. COMMENTS COMMENCE A male Arts Graduate—"Knee-socks mark the end of man's delight in the perus.il of the beauty of the feminine lower appendage. The average male commences his visual survey of the feminine form from the feet, and continues on upward. Thusly, when the first sign of flesh that greets the sensitive males' optics Is in the form CANADIAN FOOTBALL First Game Monday Against Victoria League Officials Uncertain Whether Clash Will Be Staged Here Or At Victoria; Good Turnout At Practices While officials iron out details in the schedule of the newly formed Big Three V Canadian Football League, Varsity gridders are whipping a team into shape for a game Thanksgiving Day againsts the Victoria Revellers, either here or at Victoria. 4"HOME OR AWAY? "—'* Stop Press At a late hour last night It was confirmed by Jim Harmer, Men's Athletic President, that Varsity will travel to Victoria Thanksgiving Day for the opening football game of the season. A special excursion to Victoria will leave Vancouver Monday morning at 8:30 a.m., returning at 10:00 p.m. Price is two dollars return. The schedule Indicated as tentatlvo in the accompanying story was declared as final, Harmer stated.

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 ALAN GARDINER First-string grid-star who will be a big factor In the Varsity attack against Victoria In the first Big Three V league game Thanksgiving Day. 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 riu illusions as to an easy victory when the teams meet Monday. Maitland Leaves For Navy Thurs. Assistant Sports Editor Robert Maitland leaves Thursday evening with a party of thirteen Vancouver young men for Eastern Canada, prior to going overseas in His Majesty's Navy. Johnny Bird. ex-Varsity English Rugby star, is also a member o" the group. Last year Maitland was Sports Editor of tlie Dalhousie Gazette, and he had registered at U.B.C. this term to complete his fourth year in Aits. He is a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. 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. 4> B.C.

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.
