EXTRA EXTRA VOL. XXIV PUBLISHED TWICE WEEKLY BY THE PUBLICATIONS BOARD OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA VANCOUVER, B. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1942 No. 40 UNIV TIES CLOSED Grad Fee Reduction Refused; Class Plan Action Today Noon • IN SPITE OF applications of the Graduating Class of 1942 to President Klinck and the Board of Governors for a reduction, in the fifteen dollar graduating fee, that fee will not be lowered, Don Parham, class president, announced yesterday. A special committee that visited the President on Tuesday was told that the Board of Governors did not see fit at this time to cut down on graduation expenditures. President Klinck refused tO give mmm—mmmmmm—mmmm—mmmmmmmmmmmm out any figures on the cost of graduation, claiming that the students must correct their "misleading statement" (that graduation fees at most other universities were less than 510.00) before he would publicize any detailed account of how the $15 fee was spent. A special meeting of the graduating class has been called for today noon In the Auditorium to determine what further action, If any, will be taken. CLASS GIFT As their gift to the University the graduating class will pay for landscaping work to be done on tho south end of the Stadium. Poplar trees will be planted at | both sides and evergreen trees in the center. On tho outside shrubbery will be planted to reach three- j quarters of the way up the fence, f The trees will be transplanted from the University forestry reserve. A gift of one hundred dollars will also be given to the Library. A letter is being sent to members of the class to determine their attitude to the dropping of the traditional graduation cruise and banquet from this year's ceremonies. At a previous meeting it was decided to eliminate these functions. PROGRAM The events to be held and their dates are as follows: Monday, May 11—Alumni Society Dean Mawdsley's tea for * women.

Retains Fee Gov't Aids Students In Universities • PLACEMENT of students after gyiduation and during the summer holidays, is under keen study by the Wartime Bureau of Technical Personnel, a labor department branch created more than a year ago to survey the supply of skilled technicians and scientists in Canada. L. E. Wcstman, an assistant director of thc bureau, has just completed a tour of universities in British Columbia and will report his findings shortly on summer employment of students and their enlistment in tho armed forces and industry. Recently representatives of tho Labor Department, the Defence Department and medical deans from several universities conferred on problems facing university students. Much of what transpired at that conference still remains a secret but tho govcrn- nicnt is giving "very active consideration" to a plan for increased assistance to students and no', only medical students. Old Council Initiates Successors • STUDENTS' Council introduced an innovation at their mooting last Tuesday night in the way of waiters for their regular supper in the Brock. New Council members served the courses to the 1941- 42 group as part of their Initiation rites. The plan was adopted to cover up the lack of regular waitresses, who refuse to wait upon councillors until they adopt a different attitude to their boss, Frank Underhill. "They have persecuted him all year with nagging about high prices and until they agree to lay off, wc refuse to wait," stated their spokesman. Asked for a statement, councillors were silent, but Rod Morris, new president said he was tired of carrying dishes. "Our food is cold when, wc finally sit down," ho sUdcd, "and I don't enjoy one minute of tho meeting. ^XV*^8 OV5r5B,C' Pass Feature Money All Students Subject Remains Same Until To Call Next Month Next Year -Porter OTTAWA, APR. 2 (CUP):—Universities across tho Dominion will bo closed to students for the duration of the war and grounds and buildings taken over by tho military, a well-informed spokesman revealed here late last night, following the last session of Parliament before it adjourned for the Easter recess. This surprise announcement, coining close on tho heels of the government's new selective-service proclamation last week, means in effect that all male students will be subject to call by the Army immediately after the April examinations, and will not be able to continue their university education until after tho war. Sixteen universities from British Columbia to Nova Scotia will be affected by the sweeping order. For the most part, the campuses will be taken over following the spring term, although in some cases (including U.B.C.) the government will wait until the conclusion of summer school sessions before effecting too drastic changes. (UBYSSEY EXCLUSIVE) • AS SOON AS the amazing story above clicked off the teletype from Ottawa late last night, Ubyssey reporters contacted officials of the University of British Columbia to gain their reactions and obtain further particulars on how the new plan will affect this campus. Most were nou-commital, reserving public statement until more Information could he received from official quarters. A few, however, expressed personal opinions, and ventured suggestions on how the U.B.C. campus would he changed from a scene of academic learning to a veritable front-line of defence. Sh rum \\ij-b>vt}u ACUTE DANGER "Tho danger of invasion to our Pacific Coast is so acute and Point Grey Ls such a strategic defense area that officials sec no alternative but to transform it into another Gibraltar fortress," one authority stated. He explained that defense preparations would get under way as soon as posisblc after tho spring term ended, and be in full . , . Non-Committal swing when tho summer session closed in August. Detailed plans for #thc defenses to bo erected cannot bo divulged, but It ls understood that tho army and alrforcc will work in close collaboration. Tho steep cliffs of Point Grey make ideal natural barriers to any invasion landing attempts, while thc largo level fields of the agricultural area at the rear can be converted into excellent landing fields for R.C.A.F. planes. The surrounding wooded areas will probably be used by the R.C.A. for heavy gun emplacements. TRANSFORMATIONS According to present plans, most of tho buildings will bo used as dormitories for the thousands of troops who will displace university students here next fall. Similar use will be made of the buildings on the other campuses to be taken over by tho government. While U.B.C. will be transformed into an actual fighting bastion, it is understood the inland campuses will become training centres for military and air reinforcements. Faculty members will be conscripted to instruct trainees in divers technical courses essential to the building of Canada's new mechanized army and airforce. COCT Cadets . . . . . .

Sedgewick Deplores Canadian Attitude • LASHING OUT at lack of cooperation in Canada as far as thc war effort is concerned, Dr. G. G. Sedgewick spoke to tho CSAD Tuesday. #Thc head of thc English department deplored thc attitude of tho Oknnagan and Alberta when ho spoko of the plight of thc Japanese who had to leave the coast and were not wanted at those places. When the speaker got round to mentioning some of the tilings that ho hoped would be present in the post-war world he startled some of has listeners by condemnation of the present order and advocation of some kind of social experiment. "Thc prcrent system of capitalism is unworkable, i don't care what kind of system you want but do not be the kind of person who .sits back in comfort and wants only thc "Status quo." There arc thousands of people who arc hungry for something better." When" talking of the chances for keeping peace after the war the speaker said that there must be some sort of international police force formed of a combination of the United Kingdom, the United States and thc Soviet Union. Oficcrs for the coming year arc; President, Ken Gricb; vice-president, George North; secretary, Viva Freeman; executive members, Gelda Reynolds and Don Ricketts.

M. S. I OrtCT ■ ■ ■ Treasurer Keith Porter, who ex plained that because of the necessitated curtailment of athletic events and other pass feature* due to war, the normal peacetime allotment to the Pass Fund was not warranted. Following is the resolution which Porter planned to lay before the student body at the meeting yesterday: MOVED: "THAT WHEREAS the war has caused a curtailment of many of the activities normally supported by the Pass System Fund, and WHEREAS the Pass System Fund is administered under trust, it is deemed advisable to reduce the amount of the fee in question, for the duration of the war: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Annual Pass System fee be reduced from the amount of $3.00 per annum to $2.00 per annum with the explicit understanding that immediately upoa the cessation of hostilities this fee will be returned to the previous figure of $3.00 per annum. AND THAT IT BE FURTHER ' RESOLVED THAT the Students' Council be empowered by special resolution to expena or otherwise apply the excess funds remaining on hand at Jhe end of this year." * • * • .

These charts are accompanied by examples of blocks and plates in various stages of preparation, and of the tools used in all of the processes. NEWSROOM • THE University Radio Society will interview Professor Soward this Saturday over CKWX at 6:15 p.m. He has just returned from a Social Science Conference at San Francisco and will give his impressions of tho American point of view on the war. Shrum Has New Plans for Armories • COACH Maury Van Vliet may havo to postpone his plans to make the Armories into an auxiliary gym' if the suggestion that Lt. Col G. M. Shrum will submit before the Senate meeting Wednesday receives their aproval. As suggested by Col. Shrum, the University will institute miniature auto races to be held twice- weekly in the auditorium to help pay for the upkeep of the giant structure. "We plan to install a banked track on the floor and arrange seating for 1500 persons," Col. Shrum told the Ubyssey Wednesday, "and if the plan is a financial success, may extend the plan to amateur horse racing." Until ratification of the scheme, no guesses con be made, but it is expected that since military training ends this month, the Senate will look with favor upon some means of paying for tho upkeep of the Armories. Another plan suggests sub-letting the oficcrs quarters to visitors from the prairies. Y.M.C.A.

The Mummery.. *w«6« Life in Amy Camp Conclusion Our Sergeant-major; or, The Real Enemy What has gone before: I seem to be carried away by my subject as the good Queen said when her prime minister was obliged to remove Her beloved and noisily drunk Majesty from the council chamber. To proceed, however: The men of the C.O.T.C. have just finished their breakfast, or, as it is called in the army "breakfast". Everybody is now going around clutching his government issue cramps. In the army, this is known as doing everything on the double. Read on: Our platoon was assigned to one of those small, red, English sergeant-majors, whose attitude toward us quickly defined itself as being other than maternal. For the first five minutes he painted, in the vividly rich colours of Rubens, a word-picture of ourselves as he saw us, and at the end of that time three men in the front rank had to be carried off for treatment £f third degree burns. He had one of those military vocabularies of which the words spit in the eye before entering the ear, proceeding then to kick in the tympanum, leap into the stirrup, hurl the hammer onto the anvil, and finally plunge into the semi-circular canals, where they lie sizzling sulphurously. It soon became apparent that he intended to grace us with a full-length portrait which might take some time. "Pardon me for interrupting, sir,'' I said politely, "but I am standing, in a puddle." Something like a sigh escaped from his lips, singeing our eyebrows. . "And whose fault is that?" he demanded sharply, with what I suspected to be a touch of sarcasm. "Step out in front here!" he snapped suddenly, jarring my cap onto the back of my head. ' I plodded out before the squad, saluted with a slight dash of curtsy, and stood watching him apprehensively. "Don't look at me, look at the squad!" he barked. "They're younger than I am and can stand it better." I pivotted around to meet the unsympathetic gaze of my comrades. "Now we are going to have a little mutual instruction," he said, with a nasty laugh. Mutual instruction, in the army, is when you get out in front of God and everybody and make a fool of youself at no increase in pay. "Show them the left turn!" I nudged the turf with my toe for a moment, then said, in what I considered to be an ingratiating manner: "Well, fellows, my interpretation of this particular gyration ..." "Stand at attention and take your hands out of your pockets!" "I beg to submit, sir," I said, "that it will have to be one or the other. If I take my hands out of my pockets, my pants stand at ease automatically." I coughed slightly, and started again. "Well, fellows, my interpretation . . ." "Talk louder!" "Well, fellows ..." . "Louder!" I closed my eyes for a short period of communion with my soul. "You don't mind if I butt in?" I asked, quivering. "A good idea!" he shouted. "And pull in your stomach as well. Throw out your chest!" I withdrew and threw various parts. "Is that a chest?" he enquired with feigned amazement. "It looks more like a jewel box," "Well fellows . . ." "Prove your men, before you start!" "What do you think we are, fawns?" I cried exasperatedly, but he had walked a- way to another group of sacrificial goats. "I suppose you may as well move a- round, chaps," I suggested graciously. "Quick march, if you feel up to it." They moved off down the field. Then, a ghastly thought struck my mind: I didn't know the command to stop them. "Righto, you can toddle back now!" I yelled, but they seemed not to hear me. "That's far enough, gentlemen! Stop, fellows! Halloo there!" Slowly the khaki figures diminished in size marching steadily into the distance, and finally disappearing over a hill, the. sun glinting on the last cap badge. Then — emptiness. I was alone. A cow in the next field stared at me unemotionally through the fence, ruminatively chewing Us cud. Frogs in nearby pools were croaking what sounded like "Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!" I sat down on a stone to think the thing out. "WHERE'S YOUR SQUAD!" a familiar voice bellowed behind me. I rose to meet the abrasion. "No stoop, no squint, no squad!" I chirruped miserably. "You mean you have lost thirty men?" he screamed. "Maybe if we put an ad in the paper . . ..." I volunteered—but it was too late. Tho sergeant-major was sitting cross- legged on the ground, eating his puttees with great deliberation, and there was in his eye a light that never was on land or sea. I think it was then that I ceased officially to be officer material. HOW TO ANSWER AN EXAM .. QUESTION QUESTION: Discuss thc following poem in relation to the industrial revolution In Guatemala. Give examples: "Oh! Thou who bear the flaming crown Of nature's kingdom, hear my song! 'Tis a rapsody of gold, though sounding tinny, The poet is alchemist, his potions are strong- He fuses some words in his bubbling brain, and lo! Changes night into sable, star Into gem, And thus starves amidst riches. But do I dare Touch, even with a word, so splendid a diadem That regal crown, sweet nature'3 own garland—your hair?" ANSWER: This poem was written by Julius J. Jugg to his last • mistress, Gertrude de Underslung- steln, and who was very active until his death. This poet was born in 1823, and dying between 1878 and 1888. He was the last of sixteen children. Thto i3 the only available record we have of his father. His family was very poor, his mother having ceased to show any initiative after Julius' birth. Gertrude was a red-headed ticket- taker on a merry-go-round. There is no record of how far Julius went on the merry-go-round. They were quite friendly, and having six children and a small farm, where they spent all but their spare time. This poem is made up entirely of heroic cutlets. This puts the meat in the metre. Please excuse writing. • SOUSES on the campus have received letters from the Salvation Army.

Reflections By PETER REMNANT • THERE HAS BEEN far too much flaunting of knowledge on the campus of late by a group of self-styled Intellectuals known as the Players Club. Tho brave man who wanders Into their retreat in the rear of the Auditorium is surrounded by shaggy haired, untidily dressed animals, both male and female, who jabber excitedly about Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony, or what the Impressionists are doing these days. Other less aggressive people creep restlessly from corner to corner whistling snathes of Johann Straus.; or Gilbert and Sullivan, and muttering about Ignoramusscs, "with tho emphasis on thc second syllable i.s the correct intellectual style." Now this attitude would bo merely amusing if it v.ero not for thi' harm whieli it tlicH. For there are1 many who are to impressed by thi;: lcarnc.l pose that they listen eagerly to the words of wisdom, and often form their opinions accordingly. A trip to their lair always leaves, along with tho bad tasto in my mouth, a burning desire to know whether when thoy aro left to themselves, they return to normal. Orchids To . . .

Exact details and plans were lacking at thc date of the publication of this issue but it was announced further plans will be detailed at the giant Intra-Mural Rally Thursday noon, April 2. mmmammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmma Evidently pestered by student baseball players to form a spring league, University officials went the whole hog and placed their bid in for a spot in the Western International setup. '< Yesterday to the surprise of everyone they were accepted. VARSITY NINE Now the big thing, and it is admittedly a bit of a worry, Is where Is Varsity to get players? Campus enthusiasts think they could form a student team but doubt is ex- prcmod about this plan, However It U foured thut only students will be allowed to sign on the Varsity nine. If this Is so, then campus players will really have to get out and train and field a team. The possibility of obtaining Maury Van Vliet as coach has been sounded out but as yet no approach has been made towards him. > •< It Is expected that more complete plans and details will be Issued at the huge Intra-Mural Rally today.

Exchange Editor and Pub ISaB^ Co-eds Pick Personalities • A RECENT independent body on the campus held a survey the other week and the results were amazing even to this reporter. Idea of the poll was to quiz coeds as to their likes and dislikes during the ycar. Heading the list of likes was that hard drinking D.U. Mack Buck. More than 50 coeds expressed their opinion, with plenty of oh's and ah's over the great big Buck. Most stated phrase received from tho girls about Mack Buck, and we quote: "He's tall, he's slightly dark, he's a Frat man, he's a rugger player and his name is Buck." Usually this statement was accompanied with the lolly- pop-liko expression "mmm mmmm." Coming a close second to the almighty Buck in the coeds' desire list was the "slick and mighty smooth man" Doug Maloney. Reasons for picking this grinning Irishman were varied and at times admittedly confusing. Pet like among tho girls about Doug seemed to he as follows, again we quote: "What gets me about Doug," answered Susie Swartz to the quiz, " is the way he talks to you. You get the feeling he's got something to sell or give away." Jimmy Boughten won the booby prize hands down in this survey. Boughten, otherwise known as "Dumbo" among the gals who know him, ran an easy last, beating out Dave "the cafe lover" Richie. It is in the dislike section, however, that the survey becomes really interesting. In the case of these opinions there was no one, and we are glad to say this, who was entirely disliked. Most of the girls' ideas were of a mixed variety. A few of tho many are stated below, in condensed form. Jimmy (if you got a car I love you) Aiken; most expressed opinion of Jimmy was as follows: "Jimmy's all right but gosh, he moves so fast, don't you think so?" John (slap my back) Carson; most candid opinion of Carson was "he's just six feet of manly horrified friendliness, that's all." Kits, the Farina trained and conditioned coached boys won tho Inter - High Championship last week when they defeated P.W, Saturday they will tackle the Victoria men in an atempt to repeat Uieir last victory and gain the B. C. crown. Farina, when asked if the Vancouver Kits team had a chance stated: "Well, the plays my boy's use arc Varsity plays and therefore they should trounce the Capitol city boys. Many of tho members of the sports staff opened ono eye long enough to demand an AMS meeting to act as a court martial for Mr. Davies.

What The Hell What The Hell What The'Hell So, in this, our last issue, let us briefly review the • accomplishments of tho Beta's and the other fraternities — oh, yes! there are other fraternities on the campus, although it must be admitted that you seldom ever hear of them.
