The loss was revealed Monday by AMS activities Co-ordinator Graeme Vance and Arts president Chas Pentland. They were appointed by the AMS to take over AAC in February, after charges the joint General meeting ends AMS year Canadian Union of Students' president, Jean Bazin, will highlight the AMS general meeting in the Armory Thursday noon. The Ubyssey will have a special section about the meeting in Thursday's paper. Quorum is 1,500 students. By LORNE MALLIN A mob of 2,000 crashed a dance in the Armory Saturday night and caused at least $300 damage. As many as 3,500 jam-packed the dance at peak times. Student sponsors, Ken Der- cole, Comm. II, and Allen Bon- nell, Agriculture III, charged police didn't give adequate protection. "They weren't there during the first hour or so when we needed them the most," Der- cole charged. The crowd began breaking in before police, who had been asked to come earlier, arrived, he said. The crowd smashed windows and swarmed in through washrooms and back entrances. One group broke windows in the Navy office to enter the dance but found the inside door locked. The frustrated gang spilled liquid on a rug and damaged a bulletin board, table and typewriter. The crowd inside the smoke- filled dance hall, smashed more than a dozen windows. Ten aluminum coat racks collapsed, bent and broken, from the sheer weight of clothes. Cost of repairs to the coat racks was estimated by Building and Grounds at about $150 and will toe borne by the sponsors. The sponsors closed the dance at 12:40 a.m., an hour and a half early, "There was too much broken glass on the floor for the dance to continue," Bonnell said. Glass littered floor Victoria College-UBC symposium was mishandled and degenerated into petty squabbling. "The situation is pretty bad," said Vance. "Nobody really knows exactly what the final figure will be, since the files were practically non-existent," he said. Vance said that there may possib?v be some revenue yet to come in. This would be from the joint symposium held with Victoria College. Victoria College were supposed to share the cost of the (Continued on Page 2) SEE: LOSSES Students reported at least one girl suffered minor cuts from jagged glass from broken bottles and windows. A Buildings and Grounds spokesman said the crowd appeared to be mostly high school kids and downtown hoods. He said many dancers seemed very intoxicated. RCMP arrested a 20-year-old UBC student for drunkenness. "The line-up for the dance was packed five deep from the entrance back almost to International House," Dercole said. "About 8,000 people tried to get to the dance," Dercole said. "We estimated 3,000 or 4,000 in cars were turned back by the university patrol," Dercole said. The sponsors brought in a Seattle recording group at a cost of $800. "The dance was advertised too much," Dercole said. Including posters and Ubyssey ads, there were 74 ads on a downtown rock and roll radio station. "They charged us 15 per cent of the profits, which turned out to be $250," Dercole said. "We originally wanted Radsoc to sponsor the dance but they wouldn't accept the idea," he said. (Both Dercole and Bonnell are Radsoc members.) "The AMS told us the president of the club sponsoring the dance would be responsible for any losses involved," Dercole said. "I don't think we will ever be able to stage a dance on campus again," he said. than Engineers Ubyssey cashes in on slave sale Two female slaves toiled in The Ubyssey office yesterday, thanks to an Aggie Slave Day yesterday at noon. Ubyssey photographer Bert McKinnon picked up two of the Delta Phi Epsilon slaves for a total of 85 cents and set them to work typing Tween Classes and cleaning the darkroom. The girls, Judy Fainstein and Margo Korsch, both Arts I, enjoyed The Ubyssey at- mosphere so much they stayed past the required one hour period. One practical-minded Aggie bid for and bought a slave, Looking over toothy (lave but only after checking her teeth. Average price per slave was about $1. Meanwhile the sorority, as a result of small male attendance at an auction (about seven) made $8. The money will be donated to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to aid research about the incurable muscle disease. A spokesman said the Aggies, co-sponsors of the event, were busy watching a soccer game at the time of the auction.

Other UBC winners are Patricia Smith, Robert Diebolt, Dennis Makes history Mt. Robson climb a first for prof By ART CASPERSON A UBC professor was one of five men who made B.C. mountaineering history last week. Dr. Leif-Norman Patterson of the math department was a member of a climbing party that made the first winter ascent of Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at 12,972 feet. With Patterson were Alex Bertulis, Fred Beckey, Tom Stewart and Eric Bjornstad, all from Seattle. • * • Patterson skied to Berg Lake on Mt. Robson, which is approximately 5,000 feet above sea-level. The others snow- shoed in. Patterson and Bertulis climbed directly up the Tumbling glacier which took them to the 8,500-foot level where they pitched camp. In the morning they considered climbing the north face of the mountain which has been climbed only once before, in summer, but after inspecting the face they decided to take the usual route up the east face. "The climbing of the north face is a major project," Patterson said. "It would take more time than we had." • • • "The face is covered almost entirely by ice and the last bit is rock. I would like to try it sometime," he said. After leaving most of their gear at the 8,500-foot level they climbed to about 11,00-feet where they bivouacked in the snow. "It was a slightly cold night with little sleeping gear for the two of us," Patterson said. In the morning they climbed to the top. "We had to cut steps for several rope lengths," he said. The rope they used was 300 feet long. After the climb all members of the team reassembled at the base of the east face for the trip home. "It might >be an idea to make the area around Mount Robson a national park. It is very beautiful and not terribly inaccessible by B.C. standards," said Patterson. Multi- million project seen A proposal for a multimillion-dollar light industrial research development on university lands is expected to be presented in the B.C. Legislature this week. Plans for the centre are supposed to be similar to the Stanford Research Institute in Palo Alto, Calif, where laboratories have been set up by industry research. Departments split in July UBC president John Macdonald said the Economics and Political Science departments will be split into separate units July 1. Professor John Young will continue as head of the Economics department, Macdonald said. The new head of the political science department is Professor R. Stephen Milne, who has been teaching at the University of Singapore since 1961. —don hume photo Bevington, Timothy LeGoff, Angus McLaren and Patrick Steward.

Grad class picks officers; gardens proposed for gift Only 400 of the 2,200 graduating students attended the grad class meeting Friday. The grad class elected Grad Studies dean Ian McTaggart-Cowan honorary president and Dorothy Somerset, of the theatre department, honorary vice-president. Proposals for the grad class gift to the university included a memorial garden for either George Cunningham or Dean Neagele, replacing the university gates, paintings for Brock, student loans, an alumni chronicle. A furnished room for SUB, books for the library, a fountain near the engineering buildings, outside seating and the Three Universities fund. 1.

LOSSES (Continued from Page 1) symposium, but no one in Victoria knows anything of such an arrangement and there is no record of any agreement in AAC files said Vance. "There might be $500 to 600 outstanding," he said. Vance said there seemed to be no financial control whatever in the committee's affairs. The report by Vance and Pentland was presented to council Monday night. Also presented to council was a report by ex-AAC chairman Mike Coleman. Coleman made the recommendation that next year the committee's program be re-evaluated and held to four symposiums with a grant made by AMS not to exceed $2,000. Vance said this year's deficit will not affect next year's committee and will be paid from the AMS surplus. - m% '6$ 1 Everyone Likes It...

No changes Bookstore report liked; that's c Bookstore officials like the faculty committee report on the financing and function of the bookstore, but they're not promising any changes. Bookstore manager John Hunter said Monday he approved of the report, but said the bookstore's biggest problem was lack of space. The report, which rapped administration refusals to release bookstore accounting figures to the committee recommended changes in the financing and function of the bookstore. Hunter said he would like to have a good trade book section and said he thinks there is a place for a portable typewriter service. "Our two biggest problems are getting information from professors and arranging deli very from publishers," he said. "The thing that people who compare us with American operations must remember is that books are the smallest part ol their operations. You can buy everything but a car in American college bookstores. Our main function is books," he said. The committee also recommended prices be kept to a minimum consistent with serv ice; capital sums be made available for expansion and increase in stock; and operating funds be made available for payment of personnel specialized in the book field. The committee said the function of the bookstore should be to: Stimulate curiosity in fields other than those being studied by providing a wide variety of books which the library does not stock; Carry extensive stocks of quality recordings and art reproductions; And pay careful attention to an attractive and convenient display. Tiger roars about beasts Dr. Lionel Tiger will roar about men and beasts at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Jewish Community Centre, Forty-first and Oak. The UBC anthropology and sociology professor will speak on Is It Man and the Beast or is Man The Beast in the fifth of a series of lectures at the Centre. Rights workers plead for aid Three civil rights workers Monday called for Canadian assistance in the fight against racial discrimination in the United States. Student Non - Violent Coordinating Committtee members Karen Stockham and Phillip Lapansky, and UBC arts student John Dilday, formerly of Little Rock, Arkansas, appealed to more than 1,000 students at a noon-hour rally at the Cairn. The three outlined examples of discriminatory practices used by southern political power to frustrate Negro civil rights drives, and called on UBC students to aid SNCC's cause by donations and demonstrations. Miss Stockham, Northwest co-ordinator of SNCC, said Mississippi and Alabama have become police states whose injustices should be brought to the attention of the world. "But what do we have — a president who does things only when politically expedient, and leaders like Martin Luther King who have lost their effectiveness," she said. "Negroes are to an increasing extent taking things into their own hands—witness Sel- ma—as they feel they have to solve their problems by themselves." Lapsansky said Negroes in Mississippi were determined to "break the state" which is determinedly trying to keep the Negro impoverished and unfranchised. "In Mississippi, when sheer brutality fails to keep the Negro from trying to register to vote the most frustrating methods imaginable are used to keep him from qualifying. "One section of the test requires an applicant to interpret one section of the Mississippi constitution, with a white state official the sole judge of the interpretation. Needless to say, a Negro never passes." A silver collection during the rally raised $192.41, which will be donated to SNCC. A rally protesting actions of Selma authorities is scheduled for noon today in front of the US Consulate at Georgia and Burrard. Hot Khoury Exam protest results seen The protest by 25 education students about writing six exams in three days may get results. Registrar John Parnell told The Ubyssey Monday: "We have received the protest and are in contact with officials of the education faculty." Parnell said he hopes to have the final exam schedule out this week. Money for answers gets results The preventive medicine department's career survey has had a 77 per cent response during its first week. The survey is designed to study career choices of 291 students in pre-medicine and science. Survey co-ordinator Eleanor Riches said: "I don't think the $2 cheque for completing the survey is responsible for the response alone." • • • "Several students have said they would have filled out the questionnaire anyway," she said. Miss Riches said students who registered in 1962 or 1963 as pre-medical or science students were asked to fill out the survey. "We've being trying to find those people who haven't come in and another questionnaire is going to be handed out today at noon in Wes. 100," Miss Riches said. "A lot of students who haven't made it on the scheduled days, have been filling out the forms in Wes. 300 during the week," she said. Pressure gets slacker Totem sales skyrocket Totem '65 sales have passed the three-quarter mark, Totem editor Scott Mclntyre reported Monday. "The yearbook is selling fantastically well," he said. The books are available at the College Shop, AMS office and the bookstore. First the administration abolished obligatory physical education. "Great," everyone said as they dragged themselves to their classrooms, breathlessly collapsing in their seats. "We won't have to waste our precious time developing our bodies and can devote ourselves to pure study," they said. • • • Then the D and D (Discipline and Discovery) report proposed doing away with Christmas and final exams up to third year on the grounds that students get too nervous writing them and that means they cannot possibly give an accurate representation of their knowledge. Let's take a closer look at what students feel about this matter. The final exams loom less than four weeks off, and with each passing day tension for UBC students is steadily mounting. Spring is springing; yet not many students are in the right spirit. Only last Friday I saw a couple lying on the grass in front of the library—both worried over their exams. The boys, in fact, was so nervous he steadied himself by repeatedly squeezing the girl's arms and making other gestures characteristic of a troubled mind. Evidently the very thought of exams was having a disastrous effect on him. • • • "Worry, worry, worry," said a third year Arts student about his economics courses. I asked him why. "I'm taking four of them," he replied, his eyes twitching violently. He was completely in favor of the D and D report, but wanted it to go all the way and include fourth year students as well.

TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1965 Civil rights UBC student support for the civil rights movement in Selma, Alabama, should be encouraged. It should be encouraged and pursued in a manner similar to the rally that collected $192 for civil rights work Monday. Activity of this type within Canada is of more benefit than actively working in the South. To the suspicious Southern mind, foreign students are more unwelcome than intruders into the South from other parts of the U.S. And running amuck of authorities, even when they are Southerners with their own peculiar brand of justice, poses problems for re-entry into the U.S. Some will say any help from Canadians is unwarranted. Others will point to our bicultural and bilingual problems, or those of the second-class status of the Indian and ask us to houseclean first. Perhaps the day will come when Canadian students can become enthused enough to work as diligently as the U.S. civil lighters on our problems. But right now the civil rights movement needs support—oil it can get in moral and monetary terms. There must be some basic issues, such as those of the right to vote and discrimination, which cross international boundaries and become our immediate problems as well. A challenge This year's graduating class has been offered a challenging proposal. Instead of giving a gift solely to UBC, it has been suggested that the class make a cash donation to the Three Universities Fund. In short, the class of '65 will be giving $7,000 to the fund, if the proposal is accepted. By contributing to the fund students would show the taxpayer that they are vitally aware that government and other sources simply aren't giving the university enough money. And while the student shouldn't be expected to foot much more of the province's educational bill such a gesture would indicate students are behind the drive— in spirit and in cash. If some students are choked up at the thought of providing money which wouldn't only help UBC but also Victoria and Simon Fraser there's a solution here, too. Money donated to the fund drive can be allocated to specific institutions. But why not go whole-hog and just turn over the money to the fund with no conditions attached? It would be a simple, and dramatic, indication that the class of '65 realizes money for education is short in B.C. and where possible students are willing to help. And remember, money for the Three Universities fund is matched dollar-for-dollar by premier Bennett's boys. 65rVf-UH& b^qlU •Foul radar ^rap...

LETTERS Lab problems Editor, The Ubyssey: I would like to add my voice to the recent complaints about the quality of lab instruction at this university. In the middle of a Chem 102 lab. I tried (along with six other students) to find a lab instructor. We discovered that all five of the instructors assigned to our section had disappeared. Presumably they were having coffee together. They were absent, leaving the lab wholly unattended, for over half an hour. During the long wait, several more students required equipment or reagents which they were unable to obtain because there was no-one in attendance. As a result, many of us did not have time to complete our experiments, or had to rush through them in order to finish. I think this is grossly unfair to students. I suggest that in future the instructors take shorter coffee breaks, and take them in turns instead of all at once. CHERYL MITCHELL Science I •*• *r •*• Bookstore policy Editor, The Ubyssey: Ubyssey is to be congratulated on drawing the atten- arid act pinched- tion of students to the contents of the Faculty Association's Bookstore Committee report, since for academic reasons a good bookstore is essential to the function of a University such as this. It is, however, necessary to draw attention to one important error of fact in your story. The committee did not suggest that the "administration relinquish control over the bookstore". If the bookstore is to achieve the objectives we set out for it, there is a need for considerable stock and capital expansion. This implies an investment of university funds, or funds raised by the university, for which the responsibility should rest squarely with the administration. We suggested an Advisory Board, not a Governing Board, with strong academic representation to ensure that the bookstore fulfilled an academic purpose. I feel that if the student body is to exert an influence on bookstore policy it should be in two directions, (a) financial, and (b) academic. If students are to influence pricing policy, they should look beyond the bookstore's present policy to the methods of operation of publishers and wholesale book distributors. This is why our report suggested that on pricing matters Mr. Hunter and indeed the administration have very little room to manoeuvre. CYRIL S.

ANDREA MOEN SHEILA PRICE DAVE WISEMAN CANADA'S UNKNOWN STUDENTS The Indian-Eskimo Association of Canada co-ordinates and administers a program of volunteer service for university students among Canadian Indians and Eskimos. Known as the Student Volunteers' Service Scheme, the plan sends students to live in local homes from June to early September. Canadian politicians, most recently John Turner speaking al UBC, have been urging the establishment of a Peace Corps working within Canada. John Thomas, director of International House, sent this clipping from the Magazine University Affairs to prove we already have our domestic Peace Corps. The students receive $100 honorarium plus room and board and travel expenses in return for assisting Indian and Eskimo communities to set up adult education courses, recreation programs, improve fishing catches, establish fish processing plants and similar projects. Students working on Indian reserves are sponsored by the Indian Affairs Branch while those in the Territories are sponsored by the Northern Administration Branch o f Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources. Many of the volunteers are prospective teachers and social workers and it is hoped that the program will attract university-trained persons to work with Indians and Eskimos. This year (1963) 20 students will be sent to communities in Ontario and the Northwest Territories. Candidates are selected by a panel of Indian-Eskimo Association executive members, federal and provincial government representatives and the YMCA.

Tuesday, March 16, 1965 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 BACKGROUND By RICHARD SIMEON NEW HAVEN — Liberal and moderate Republicans are on the warpath. Their opponents are not Democrats, but the "frantic, frenetic, fanatic" right wingers who captured the 1964 Republican convention in San Francisco. The stakes are control of the party and their own political lives. The outcome is still in doubt. Two leaders in the battle, senators Thomas Kuchel of California and Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, were at Yale this week looking for recruits. • • • They were both active in the too-little and too-late attempt to block the nomination of GOP presidential candidate Barry Goldwater at the convention. Kuchel backed Liberal governor Nelson Rockefeller and Scott was campaign manager for William Scranton. Goldwater delegates booed Scott when he tried to persuade the GOP platform committee to include clauses denouncing radical right groups and supporting civil rights. Kuchel has been a frequent target of Birchers, Minute- men and other kooks in California and elsewhere. Richard Simeon is a former UBC student and a former Ubyssey assistant city editor. He is doing graduate work in political science at Yale on a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. Both Senators survived the 1964 election debacle, but they cannot forgive the Gold- water conservatives who gained control of the party, nominated their man, repudiated past Republican policy on foreign policy and civil rights, and led the party to the worst election defeat ever suffered by a major party. Goldwater and Miller were not the only ones to bite the dust — more than 500 other Republicans at state and national levels lost their seats in the Johnson sweep. Scott is one of the few survivors. Kuchel was not up for reelection, but there is doubt he would have won if he had run. • • • Moderates in the party say they are not going to let it happen again. Goldwater is back on the ranch in Arizona and the moderates have ousted his protege Dean Burch from the chairmanship of the Republican national committee. But that's just the beginning. Goldwaterites, often supported by John Birchers and other radicals, still control most of the grass-roots strength of the party. They BARRY GOLDWATER . . . big mistake are not going to be easy to root out. And time is short. Mid-term Congressional elections are less than two years away. The bitterness and resentment of moderates for the Goldwaterites runs deep. "They are the frustrated irreconcilables who infiltrated the ranks of the respectable conservatives," said Scott. "And they are the people who a resurgent GOP must relegate to their frustrations. • • • "We must take the road back from lunacy — and from San Francisco, which was a symbol of that lunacy. I am going to travel throughout the country cutting off all the radical fringes I see — anytime, anyplace, anywhere." That's tough talk from a professional politician who has been a member of Congress for 20 years, a former chairman of the national committee and who was Eisenhower's Southern campaign manager in 1952 — especially when he is talking about members of his own party. Kuchel, a Senator for 13 years, said: "I regret that my party has turned its back on most of the decent things it has stood for since the time of Lincoln." • • • The 1964 convention was a revolt of the rank and file against the traditional party leadership of such men as Kuchel and Scott. While the leaders slept, small groups all over the country took over local and state conventions, nominating Goldwater delegates for the national convention. The Goldwater nomination was sewn up long before the convention began. Said Scott: "The tactics of the right wing were the tactics of the Judas goats who led the herd to slaughter. "We are not going to let them do it again." He described the tactics of the radical righters — "proto- fascists" was his word — in Washington, New Mexico and many other states. He told of Minutemen distributing material at GOP meetings. "Rocky (Nelson Rockefeller) the International Socialist," and "The Soft on Communism Racket of Richard Nixon", were typical titles. At one meeting, he said, a speaker charged that Eisenhower and Kennedy were Communists, urged the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Earl Warren, called the Kennedy assassination o CIA plot carried out on orders from Moscow and alleged that Defense Secretary Robert McNamara had troops out practising for the Kennedy funeral a week before the murder. "And 1,300 people stood up and cheered," said Scott. Seldom before had such extremist groups come so close to power. Scott and Kuchel want the GOP to get back on the road o f "Progressive - Conservatism" — though not of the Diefenbaker variety. They see themselves as the responsible opposition. But their problem is that they approve of almost all the things the Johnson administration is doing. "The Johnson programs are also the Re- publican programs," said Scott. In this sense, Goldwater was right: they are an echo not a choice — and so long as the Democrats continue to be able to handle the country successfully, the GOP is not going to be able to find an issue of the magnitude needed if they are going to win back the presidency. • • • But the battle between the moderates and the rightists goes on. The result will have great implications. For example, Kuchel himself ntust face an election in 1966. Right now, he may not even get the Republican nomination because the California party has been heavily infiltrated. Veteran politicians can forgive many, many sins. But there's one thing they cannot condone: losing. And when you lose the way Goldwater did, there is no mercy.

Page 6 THE UBYSSEY Tuesday, March 16, 1965 World Cup next Reps beat Birds for Rugger Cup UBC rugby Thunderbirds were trounced 24-8 by a powerful Vancouver Reps side in an exciting McKechnie Cup final Saturday at Varsity Stadium. Upwards of 600 spectators SPORTS IN RUGBY ACTION Saturday at Varsity Sta dium UBC's 'Birds lost 24-8 to an all-star Vancouver side. The game was the final match in the McKechnie Cup playdowns. Rugby - - a UBC tradition saw the Reps dominate play in the first half, with the Birds unable to muster an effective attack. • • • 'Birds were down 16-0 at the half, and their plan of outrunning the supposedly more poorly conditioned Reps failed. Instead of running with the ball in the second half, the Vancouver players kept kicking to touch and slowing the pace. But play throughout the game was wide - open and entertaining. The experienced Vancouver players kept UBC off-balance with a varied attack, and the 'Birds threatened only for about ten minutes in the second half. Bob Hilton and Keith Watson scored tries for UBC, with Mike Cartmel picking up a convert. • • • UBC's backs had the ball often, but their passes were slow and inaccurate. T-Birds did very poorly in the loose play, and this was a major factor in the loss. What will probably be the best rugby action in B.C. this year, the World Cup games, can be seen Thursday at 1 p.m. at Varsity stadium and again on Saturday:* Rugby has an association with UBC, of longer standing, probably, than any other sport. It was played when the University occupied the Fairview site, and even before that, was played by McGill University in Vancouver. Through the years, the Rugby Team has consistently been UBC's most successful team. UBC competes in several competitions, but undoubtedly the oldest is that of the McKechnie Cup. The Cup was donated in 1896 by Dr. McKechnie, a former Chancellor of this University; and it is generally accepted that it is the oldest trophy in B.C., if not all Canadian Sport. Since the war, the teams in this competition have been UBC and representative teams from each of Vancouver, the North Shore and Victoria. Though accurate records are difficult to come by, it appears that UBC has won the Cup 18 times. One of the more famous victories was that of 1928. A split with Vancouver in the two scheduled games, necessitated a playoff to determine the Cup winner. The UBC team, coached by Jack Tyrr- whitt, and including the former Minister of Fisheries, James Sinclair, played superb Rugby, and won the Cup. Following the final whistle, the team was carried off the field by their exuberant supporters, followed The author of this article, Andrew Spray, A UBC Big Block winner, Is this year's Rhodes scholar for B.C. and is going to St. John's College, Oxford, in the fall. by a downtown parade and night of celebration. It seems doubtful that such enthusiasm could arise over any University sport nowadays. Another victorious Cup team of note was that of 1938, coached by Capt. A. G. Dobbie. When UBC went to play Victoria in the final, a boat was chartered, and at least 500 out of a campus enrollment of 2,500, accompanied the team. A further remark of note here concerns one of the great players of that team, Howie 'Thompson golf spectacular greatest of them all The U.S. Open, the Masters, the Bob Hope Pro-Am Classic and now the "Thomson Golf Spectacular". That's right golfers. Friday morning is the opening of the 2nd annual classic tournament, a Big Block Club event with host Tom Thomson leading the way at the University golf course. The classic is open to all students and faculty but the tickets, a hole in $1.25, are putting thin. So get yours now, from Mr. Thomson or at the Athletic Office McPhee. Following his untimely death in 1940, a trophy was awarded in his name, which is given annually to the player in the Vancouver Rugby Union who best exemplifies the qualities of leadership, sportsman- ship and playing ability shown by McPhee. Besides the McKechnie Cup, UBC also competes in the inter- club competition with the other members of the Vancouver Rugby Union for the Millar Cup. UBC has won this Cup many times, being undefeated in t^e competition in 1923-4 and from 1944 through 1949. In the Millar Cup this year, the Birds, under new coach Brian Wightman, lost but one game, a 19-17 defeat to the Meralomas which cost them the Cup. A notable victory was a 16-8 win over the 'Kats' Club, a team which for five years had seemed virtually unconquerable.

In this the first of two columns on the long standing, but never solved problem of extra-mural athletics at our campus, I am revealing the Reamsbottom critique on UBC sports. The debate goes on about the status of UBC sport but there are indications that the argument on the state of athletics at UBC is receding more and more into indifference. The meagre attendance at sporting events indicates few students are interested, and the views of faculty and alumni are rarely heard. UBC sport wavers between the conflicting philosophies we have absorbed from the English and American concepts of how games should be played. While both approaches have their points it is rather tough to be caught between. Oxford has a fine rowing crew and a rugby team; but doesn't have to worry about football or baseball. U. of Toronto supports football and basketball; but pays no attention to rugby or soccer. A survey taken among Canadian colleges in January this year shows UBC to have the most extensive program in the country; one which includes 27 extra-mural sports. The emphasis on participation means that energy, attention and finance is spread out and dissipated on an astonishing number of sports. And that's not all Perhaps even more restricting than the number of sports is the conflict between the contrasting philosophies of English and American sport. At UBC we find ourselves in the position of trying to follow the English "the games the thing" approach, while competing with opponents who stress victory as the all-important goal. Our athletes, who are awarded no concessions for practice time or otherwise, for entertaining their fellow students in the Stadium, Gym or Arena, compete against opponents who are helped to put every effort possible into winning. This is the principal problem, how to reconcile the two concepts. • • • There are other problems such as competition with highly publicized professional teams for the attention of the public. There is the geography factor which leaves UBC isolated 500 miles from the nearest Canadian university. The main reason UBC pulled out of the Evergreen conference six years ago was the belief of athletic officials that students are not interested in games against small American schools. But there was no improvement when we entered the Western Canadian League. The won-lost record improved but interest did not. This re-introduces another controversial subject; whether to re-enter the WCIAA or remain independent competing against a combination of top Canadian and carefully-selected American College teams. WCIAA - - pros and cons The best system, of course, is the present one; but for the record here are the pros and cons toward re-entering the Canadian League: Pros • play schools of similar status • development of Canadian spirit • students have opportunity to visit Canadian Universities • national collegiate championships Cons • heavy traveling expenses • wide variability in calibre of competition • eliminates attractive (to the players and coaches) American competition because of double round robin schedules which are mandatory in football and basketball. • • • The present independent schedule provides the ideal arrangement for an extended interim period while other B.C. Universities, such as Simon Fraser and Victoria Colleges, are growing to athletic maturity. (The second part of the Reamsbottom critique will appear in Thursday's Ubyssey.) SPORTS UBC Executive positions in WAA are open to responsible wheeler-dealers. Nominations for President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer must be in to the Women's Gym by 12:30 p.m., March 22.

Painted work bench high priced There is a rather unusual painting entitled Expo '67 being exhibited at the Nova Scotia Society of Arts annual show. Well, not exactly a painting. If the truth be known, it is nothing more than the top of a work bench used for sign painting. A little jazzed up of course. The paint-smeared wood surface was framed and glazed at an art shop before artist Mur- dock Cranston, a Halifax sign painter, entered it as a joke. Exhibition juror Prof. Alfred Pineky, chairman of the fine arts department at Sir George Williams University in Montreal, accepted the work for the art show. And while Cranston claims the whole thing is only a gag, he has put a price tag on his work. The price is $1,000.
