Vol. XLV
VANCOUVER, B.C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1963
No. 53
No comment on Bennett budget
UBC officials darn up
BRAND NEW GHOST CAR was sported by campus RCMP detachment as they went about
their weekly radar trap duties Thursday. Car, which contained radar equipment on University Blvd. trap, is '63 Ford Fairlane, brown with a white top. It carries '62 B.C. licence
plates 225-771.
Student parking outside gates
draws residents complaints
Residents outside the university gates say they are going to
have cars belonging to students
towed from the front of. their
homes.
The homeowners, mostly on
West Eighth, near Blanca, say
_ students are parking their cars
there and hitchhiking to UBC.
"I had to park a block and a
half away from my home at
noon today," said one resident,
Hugh Thompson, an education
student.
Thompson, a spokesman for
the residents, said a city bylaw
forbids parking on the street for
longer than three hours except
in front of the car owner's home.
Thompson estimates that 60
per cent of the cars parked on
Eighth have university parking
stickers.
Thompson said he contacted
The Ubyssey before calling tow
trucks because he wants to warn
students.
"I hope we can co-operate,"
said Thompson. "I am a student
myself, and I don't want to have
to call police."
About 50 cars were reported
parked all day along the 4600
block West Eighth Thursday.
Last year, residents on the endowment lands complained of
students parking in front of
their homes.
Since then signs have been
posted limiting parking to one
hour on roads in the university
area.
Students parking outside the
gates reportedly dislike the long
walks from parking lots to
classes.
In other traffic news, Sir
Ouvry Roberts, director of Traffic, says RCMP are going to
begin patrolling one-way streets
on campus.
He said barriers blocking off
Main Mall would be removed
but cars will not be allowed
down the road. (Story Page 3.)
Campus battles over DCM;
what became of De Gaulle?
Sir Ouvry Roberts has a question for The Ubyssey.
"If you knew a parking lot was going to be used for
buildings in two years," asked Sir Ouvry, "would you spend
a lot of money improving it?"
Sir Ouvry's question was a reply to a Ubyssey editorial
complaining that Sir Ouvry had done nothing to improve
muddy C-Lot with all the money he has collected from student
parking fees.
He said that buildings will be erected on the lot within a
short time. And the mud and guck was caused by unusual
weather conditions.
The Ubyssey suggested Sir Ouvry should be awarded the
DCM—Dubious Contribution Medal.
Financial plans
may be stalled
A mysterious silence has shrouded UBC oficialdom since
the provincial budget came down.
The silence is as mysterious as—and possibly because of—-
t!he government's silence on the Macdonald Report.
The Socreds allotted more * „ ,
money to UBC and Victoria ' - ' "*'-
College but Education Minister
Les Peterson has been quoted
as saying the Macdonald Report
will remain on the shelf until
Ottawa shells out or unless
B.C. experiences an economic
boom.
NO ANSWER
The Ubyssey Thursday tried
for reaction from the Board of
Governors and the co-authors
of the Macdonald Report on the
budget and Peterson's state
ment.
Dr. John Macdonald is reported sick and can't be con- j
tacted. !
Chancellor Phyllis Ross is

The co-authors of the report
apparently have the same pact
of secrecy.
NO MONEY
Peterson admitted to The
Ubyssey Tuesday that the government didn't have enough
money to implement the report.
But he said the government
was going ahead with it anyway.

have bureau men in the Legislature, reported a different
story.

Our Valentines all kissed out

Okay, guys. Valentine's Day
is over.
No more kissing. No more
invitattians for more kissing.
No more kidnapping attempts.
That's it.
I'm all kissed out.
Wtednesday this kissing bit

And I wrote I was hurt because the boys didn't want to
kiss me.
Thursday I was nearly hurt
because they did.
I've been telephoned by
foresters, courted by physics
and chemistry students and
kidnapped by sciencemen—-
all of them claiming to be real

action by a team of Ubyssey
editors I don't know what my
fate would have been.

and said they were willing to
help me fill my 50-kiss quota
Then I received two letters
from four physics students who
said they felt sorry for me.
They wanted me to come up
to the physics department
where the "real men" were.
A fourth-year chemistry
student sent me another letter
on official University stationery.

wrong area (Brock Hall)," he
wrote. "Come to the Chemistry Building." ~

I hid while my city editor
told them I'd be back in half
an hour. He said he'd send me

Then he told me to go to

They reacted alright.- They
chased me into the washroom

They even peeked in the

me.
When someone threatened to

Dr. Macdonald has estimated

What's it like to do your
first year of teaching in a
backward British colony in the
East Indies?
Walter Herring, who graduated from UBC in 1962, is
finding out.
He is one of the four UBC
students now teaching in
Kushing, Sarawak, under the
auspices of the Canadian
University Students Overseas.
And Herring is finding
conditions a lot different from
those he would have encountered at home.
• '• •
Kushing is the focal point
of colonial activity and Herring's students are among
Sarawak's best. Facilities and
staff, however, are considerably below Canadian standards.
There are no lights in the
classrooms, only tall doors
along the wall which let in
both light and air—sometimes.
On rainy days, writes Herring,
the gloom is unbelievable.
* * *
Study is geared to an antiquated external examination
system, the Cambridge papers,
and a great deal of the student's work is done in a bookish, tedious manner.
The teachers have no sense
of discipline, according to

"RESOLVED THAT THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY
'S TO SOCIETY, AND NOT TO HIMSELF/'
Herring, and responsibility
for maintaining order falls on
the headmaster who is assumed to have unlimited resources for punishment.
The boys are constantly
aware of tl\\e need to succeed
since failure in the exams
usually means returning to the
rubber-farm or paddy field.
This enthusiasm in the
boys, claims Herring, far outweighs all difficulties and he
finds them a more likable lot
than classes from home.

Herring is one of 96 Canadian graduates which CUSO
has posted overseas since its
formation 18 months ago.
CUSO, formed with the Intention of providing recent
graduates with opportunities
to serve abroad on the "grass
roots level," arranges for the
placement of suitable quali
fied people to serve in countries which request, their serv
vices.
Students who go abroad are
expected to work as equals
and their services are utilized
according (to the specific
needs of the country concerned.

The host country is respon-.
sible for their Canadian employee, paying their salaries,
providing accomodation and
sometimes providing for their
transportation overseas.
CUSO started in June 1961
as a result of the efforts of
several Canadian universities
and interested organizations.
It is now represented by local
committees at 39 universities
and colleges in all 10 provinces and is co-ordinated
through a national office in

WORDS
By MIKE GRENBY
There was in interesting ad
in yesterday's Ubyssey.
Vasectomy! it shouted quiet-
; ly, and went on to ask:
"Would it be feasible to preserve sperms by Freeze Dry
or Quick Freeze for use when
desired by people undertaking
Vasectomy Operations for
world population control?"
Galloping spermatozoa,
what's the world coming to?
Frozen foods are fine but
j let's not make sex a deepfreeze affair, too!
Whoever suggested the idea
of "playing it cool" certainly
couldn't have meant it to go
this far.
• • *
Hubby is checking over the
Supplies before wife goes out to
do the weekly shopping.
"How's our supply of
sperm?" she calls.
"I think -we've got enough
for a couple more kids," he
answers. "It should last us for
a bit."
And of course there's the
touchy problem of where the
sperm supply is to come from.
If most people "undertake
Vasectomy Operations for
world population control," producers will be in very high demand.
Perhaps this is the moment
for bachelors to come into their
own.
• * •
Actually it's a rather sad
state of affairs that matters
have cooled off so much.
I can still remember when
making love used to be rather
a hot business.
At this rate it will be quite
a compliment to be called
frigid.
Naturally nobody considers
the poor little sperm in the
'proposed new system.
It is cruelly taken from a
nice warm home, frozen dry
and left in this petrified condition until some child-hungry
couple picks it up from a self-
serve shelf in a grocery or
department store.
Then a quick thaw and it's
- popped in and expected to go
to work.
One shouldn't be surprised if
the sperm stays rather cool
about the whole business.
• * ik-
Will one be able to order
babies to specification or will
it be "you pays your money
and takes your chances?"
And what will the churches
- say?
Won't hubby be jealous letting his wife have such intimate relations with another
man's production?
But then perhaps these
frigid vasectomists propose
that before the decisive cut is
made, hubby will put out and
his wife will put up a supply
for future use.
The package directions will
probably say: Keep Cool. Store
under Sexually Stimulating
Conditions.
If the couple is not satisfied
with the results of their deep-
frozen sex, will they be able
to get a refund of the full purchase price?
• * •
The whole idea leaves me
cold.

exceed 3,000 words. Deadline for
submission is June 15.
Entries must be sent to the
contest director, Canadian Foundation for Education in World
Law, Room 10, 2425 Grand

Winners of cash prizes will be
announced after Oct. 1.
National Liberal Leader Lester Pearson presented the federation trophy to UBC club
president Ross Munro.
Cam Avery, the club's vice-
president, was also elected national secretary.
Latest results of Model
Parliament elections across the
country show that Liberals
have now won in 18 universities (including UBC) and the
Tories have won only four.
SOCREDS, NDP, OUT
Social Credit and the NDP
have failed to win one election.
Avery took issue with a
Canadian University Press
story appearing in Wednesday's
Ubyssey that reported three
eastern Liberal students had
condemned Pearson's pro-nuclear arms stand.
The trio claimed Pearson
would be unable to have any
effect in the cause of world
peace as long as Canada had
nuclear weapons.
PUBLICITY GIMMICK
"Richard Comber (one of the
students) said he had complete
confidence in Pearson and was
willing to, see nuclear arms if
we immediately negotiated for
disarmament after the election," Avery said Thursday.
"It wasn't until he was in
front of the press that he
changed his story.
"I think his slam is just a
publicity gimmick."
Avery said he didn't know of
the policies of the other students.
Carleton
socialist
college
OTTAWA (CUP) — Carleton
president A. Davidson Dunton
has been accused by the Orillia
Daily Packet and Times of turning Carleton into a "socialist
college."
The southern Ontario newspaper claims the recent appoint- |
ment of former CCF leader M.!
J. Coldwell as a resident fellow
of the university is the latest
stage in the process.
PRIVATE POLITICS
■ It did not say what the earlier
stage had been, but it did accuse
Dunton of using the CBC, during
his term as chairman of the
Board of Broadcast Governors,
"to reflect his own private political bent."
"... it was during liis tenure
of office that the CBC became
so markedly oriented to the
Left," the Packet and Times
says.
ANOTHER FAVOR
"It was significant that Mr.
Coldwell received his most fulsome eulogy on a recent television program presided over by
Mr. Dunton. Now he has done
Mr. Coldwell yet another favor
by raising him from his former
status as the defeated and discarded leader of a minor political party to the pantheon of
elder statesman.
"In the Cloister of Carleton.
University Mr. Coldwell will be
able, in his declining years, to
wield an influence which he was
never able to achieve during an
active political career."
Dunton's comments: "It's
drivel."
Four of the barriers are on
Main Mall, two are on side
roads to the Main Mall and one
is by A-lot.
CLOSED STILL
But, says Sir Ouvry, these^
roads will still remain closed
to traffic during the week.
In place of the barriers will
be large signs and the RCMP..
The barriers were erected last
fall to make UBC a walking
campus—all part of Sir Ouvry's
plan.
They have been removed now
so emergency vehicles will have
access to trouble spots.
Four large no parking signs
will also be posted in front of
Brock Hall.
Sir Ouvry said traffic enforcement for the new regulations will be handled by the
RCMP and UBC's traffic patrol
cum ambulance staff.
UNDERSTANDING
He said the new signs are of
the standard type used by the
provincial Department of Highways.
"It shouldn't be possible to
mistake their meaning," he said,
"but the regulations will be enforced with understanding at
first."
Main Mall will remain open
to general traffic Saturday and
Sunday.
Whigs want
tax changes
OTTAWA. (CUP) — University Liberals have called on a
Liberal government, if one is
elected April 8, to make four
changes in Canada's tax structure.
They propose:
• More non-luxury items be
exempted from sales tax.
• Taxation incentives be
granted key industries in Canada's national economic development.
• Continuation of the double
depreciation plan for another
five years.
• Exemptions for married
couples be increased to $3,500
from $2,000 for the first four
years after marriage.
The students also passed a
resolution stating 75 percent of
the cost of moving unemployed
persons to an area where he has
a guaranteed job should be provided by the government.

Board of Governors must take lead
The Bennett budget is now a week old,
and no shouts of glee have been heard from
the administration or the Board of Governors.. ■;.....
The president has'been indisposed for a
week — first on a trip, and then ill at his
home. The few comments he has made about
the budget have been non-committal.
The men who worked with the president
on his report have a pact — none will talk
until they talk with the president.
Members of the Board of Governors refuse
comment when asked by reporters about the
University's grant.
It is our feeling that the University has
been cut short again — very short.
No mention of Dr. Macdonald's report was
made in the budget speech. No provision was
made, specifically, for instituting any part
of it.
But tfliis is not the main point of contention with the budget.
The administration fully expected to have
to wait a reasonable time for the government
to act on the report, but what it expected im
mediately was a substantial increase in UBC's
operating grant.
We got some of it — but all indications
point to the fact that what Bennett was prepared to give was far short of what UBC had
asked for. - .
The Board oi Governors since 1957 has
acceped graciously the crumbs that fell to
UBC without ever making light of the fact
that UBC was sadly under-financed.
It is time, we suggest, that the Board of
Governors stood up to the government and
backed the demands of the new president.
The most obvious way of doing it is to
make public the figures of what was asked
for and what UBC got. Public pressure could
then be applied on the government.
A second and more drastic measure would
be to tell the government to keep its grant,
thus driving home to the people of the province and the government that UBC is not
interested in continuing to operate at a substandard level.
The students are interested in backing up
university demands. The Board must take
the lead. -
Let's all drink Canada blah!
Canada is blah.
What's more, it has a blah-ing effect on
events which occur within its boundaries.
A year or so ago, a post card created
world wide furor.
It was the famous Peace Corps post card.
It- criticized conditions in an underdeveloped
country. Everybody was mad — or embarrassed.
The incident hapened in the United States.
Last week, the Canadian University Service Overseas had its Argosy.
A Canadian student, in an article published in the Mount Allison Argosy, accused
Ghana's political leaders of. corruption.
Unlike the postcard, the article was not
accidental. Robert MacLaren, a graduate of
Mount Allison who has served about two
months as a teacher in Ghana, wrote his
report with full knowledge it would be published.
He said Ghanaian leaders are "hypnotizing
the people into following them so that they
can achieve international fame for themselves
and a life of ease and luxury at the expense
of the people."
And what happened? Nothing.
There's been no international incident.
Four Ghanaian students sought out by The
Ubyssey denied the charges.
"He's just a Canadian," they said, in effect.
"Why should we worry about his absurd
opinions."
The students laughed at the charges and
asked how he could be so sure of his evaluation after only two months in the country.
But they didn't think it was very important.
So there it went. No international incident.
No big news stories.
Let's all drink to Canada. She prevented
an international incident. Let's all drink Canada blah.
Antonio Barrette tries reform
By RAY NOEL
The victory of the Liberals
on June 22, 1960, proved to be
more than a mere electoral defeat for the Union Nationale
Party. In effect, it provoked
quite a serious disturbance
within the entire ranks of the
party as every supporter knew
that a great split was in existence between two factions and
that the events of June 22,
I960, had only gravely
worsened the situation.
Throughout the whole province, it was evident that this
major ill-feeling had resulted
from the loss of Paul Sauve as
leader of the party and the
people were aware that eventually, when the excitement,
the celebrations and the licking of wounds were over, the
political boil of the Union Nationale Party would come to a
head.
* • * •
II took a couple of months
before it started happening. As
Antonio Barrette, withstanding
the upset, managed to retain
his seat and his position as
leader he consequently undertook to reorganize, from the
bottom up, the structure of the
party.
The first and most important
step was the following: the
democratization of the party's
ranks. This certainly was not
going to be too easy to achieve
for it was necessary to start
right from scratch. As time
progressed along, the leader
and his aides issued public
statements upholding the said
implementation of this new
basic policy and for a while,
all seemed to be proceeding
very well.
This was overdoing it a little
bit too much for some influential members of the old guard
of the party. Behind the scenes,
even after having given their
This is Part III in a series
of articles on the Union Nationale Party, written by
former UBC graduate student, Ray Noel.
third leader in one year a
thorough vote of confidence
subsequently to the election,
many advocates of the old
party line, i.e., patronage, corruption, dictatorship, etc. —
who were controlling the
finances of the party — kept
trying at pulling the strings
that were to make Antonio
Barrette but only a mere puppet as leader.
But the latter, being a man
of integrity and abiding by
certain principles of life, found
this impossible to accept and
decided to rebel against these
infamous financial lords of the
party. He did so publicly.
* • •
His statement of resignation
condemned those people who
were trying to remain aloof of
the wave of intellectual libera
tion which had swept the province some months before and
clearly inferred to them and to
their supporters that they
would never again achieve
power in this province by remaining stagnant in their ideas
and by thinking that the electoral promises of the pre-1959
era would still have the same
potential in the future.
He had seen and noticed this
new evolution and revolution
taking place in the lives of
Quebeckers and had considered its extreme importance.
He had tried to make the-
others understand this change
occurring in every citizen but
they had been too blinded by
their need for power to fathom
its effects.
His resignation was his only
recourse. He had lost the fight
against stronger and more
powerful opponents but he had
emerged as a man admired by
one and all and praised for his
sincerity and for showing his
true willingness to bring about
reform.
* • •
The reactions from the Union Nationale Party were
mixed but again, in order to
avoid too much of a flare-up in
the public view, an official
statement was issued which expressed regret at Barrette's
leave but referred very little
to his dramatic accusations
concerning the domination of
the party's financial moguls.

Letters to the Editor
Ubyssey criticized
Editor,
The Ubyssey,
Dear Sir:
The Alma Mater Society at
UBC performs a very valuable
function. It administers student affairs efficiently wnile
maintaining the sanctity of the
idea of student autonomy. Unfortunately, student government is plagued by a nebulous,
meaningless concept of 'power'
which generates Machiavellian
intrigues in the activities of
councillors. Too often do our
student leaders resort to malicious tactics to increase their
own influence at the expense of
other members. To me this is
simply the foolish strutting of
puppets on a paper-mache
stage. And the greatest perpetrator of this sort of foolishness is The Ubyssey.
Wednesday evening saw the
result of a successful attempt
by The Ubyssey to influence
the course of campus politics.
Unfortunately, the victim was
Mike Coleman, a person who
is conspicuous due to his absolute lack of participation in
student council intrigue. Besides being one of our better
student administrators, Coleman is also highly respected
and scrupulously honest. Yet
The Ubyssey, seeing the chance
to turn a small circumstantial
incident into political dirt, presented a loosely disguised
front page story which, in effect, condemned Mike Coleman.
* • *
The odor which emanates
from this article is given added pungency by the participation of one Jim Ward, Coleman's opponent for the position of first vice-president in
the recent AMS elections. In
the article, Ward bemoaned
the fact that Coleman appeared
on a student television show
on a date too near election
day, and as a result received
advantageous publicity.
The fact that this appearance had been arranged
months in advance, the fact
that the show itself has no definite time at which it appears
each Saturday, and the fact
that very few students ever
watch the show were never
mentioned. In effect, Coleman
received little or no publicity
at all from this appearance.
It would appear, therefore
that Ward was out to make
political hay and is guilty of
precisely the same crime for
which he wrongly accused
Mike Coleman. Whereas Coleman, in truth, was unaware
of the mistake he made, Ward,
despicably and with full awareness, was partner to an act
which was far worse! The
Ubyssey was cute enough to
mention that Barry McDell
was the real culprit, but only
while giving valuable publicity to Ward and blackening
Coleman's name. This is an
example of the integrity, or
lack of it, of our ignoble student organ.
But this was not enough for
Keith Bradbury. He did not
miss his chance to editorialize,
hurting Coleman further and
cheapening the reputation of
a newspaper which boasts possession of the Southam Trophy.
• • •
The sad speculation which
now arises is that Ward was
not fully cognizant of the implications of collaboration with
The Ubyssey in such chicanery. If this is the case, Warg
is as much a victim of Uby«
ssey perversion as was Coleman.
Whatever the case, one solid
fact emerges like an ugly fungus from the whole rotten
mess. The Ubyssey has abused
its representative privilege
again. This time, however, the.
whole student body suffers
for The Ubyssey has flagrantly abused the democratic machinery of the students.

FRUSTRATED STUDENT releases pent-up aggression on old car dumped in front of Brock
Thursday for just that purpose. Campus Kiwanis club gleaned $13 for charity from students
who paid 25 cents a shot to hammer the heap.
A smashing success
Have a car crash:
ease frustration
UBC students lost their frustrations Thursday.
"Midterms, and other things, frustrate students this time
of year," said Lome Nisbet of the Circle K campus Kiwanis
PANELIST at this weekend's
Academic Symposium Dr. R.
J. Rowan will discuss the
future of higher education in
B.C.
Jesus wasn't
mentally ill
TORONTO (CUP)—There is
no real basis to the accusation
that Jesus may have been mentally ill, a University of Tor-
j. onto professor says.
Dr. Clare Robinson was referring to works of various
early 20th century physicians,
which claimed Jesus showed
paranoic tendencies, was tainted
by poor heredity and suffered
from hallucinations and delusions.
Doctors using this argument,
based their beliefs in the Gospel
_, according to John, but this
source is generally considered
less dependent historically than
the other three gospels, Dr.
Robinson said.
"Even if we could accept the
claim that Jesus had hallucinations, we must remember that
.normal people can, and often
do, have them and they are not
- necessarily a sign of mental illness," Dr. Robinson said.
"So we had Frustration Day."
An old car chassis, donated
to the club by Import Auto
was placed outside Brock Hall.
Students were invited to take
out their frustrations on the
car by smashing it with sledge
hammers at three hits for 25
cents.
SERVICE WORK
"The money will go for service work about campus," Nisbet said. "But we haven't yet
decided what."
Posters advertised: "Do you
feel upset, worried, depressed?
Relieve your frustrations on
Valentine's Day.
"We thought Valentine's
would be a good day for Frustration Day," Nisbet said. "It's
good clean fun."
Each smasher was given a
free cigar. Circle K officials reported they had gone through
70 Simon's cigarillos.
The first girl to. try her
strength picked up the heavy
mallet and advanced towards
the car, until a voice from the
crowd called: "Why are you
frustrated?"
She droppsd the mallet and
fled.
BREAKTHROUGH
First girl to hit the car was
Karen Dobson, Arts I.
With her free cigar clenched
in her teeth, and wearing spike
heels, she climbed .onto the
dented hood.
She picked up the hammer
and heaved a mighty blow at
the tarp hood of the car. The
hammer fell through the roof
and Miss Dobson nearly followed it, head first.
Circle K officials reported a
profit of $12.95, and over 100
unfrustrated people.
Summer employment
NFCUS embarks
on job survey
MONTREAL (CUP)—Montreal's Loyola College will conduct a two-pronged national survey among universities and industries in an attempt to solve the mounting summer employment problem faced by students.
Summer employment this -— .
year is expected to be as scarce
as ever after a 13 per cent increase in university enrolment.
NFCUS MANDATE
Loyola was mandated to investigate the situation by the
National Federation of Canadian University Students at its
26th Congress at Sherbrooke last
October.
The survey, headed by John
Freund, a third-year commerce
student, will take the form of a

Three movies were shown to
an audience of both fraternity and non-fraternity members.
The movies are illegal for distribution anywhere in Canada
because of their pornographic
content, The Varsity says.
"Such evenings of undergraduate entertainment are apparently held several times
during the school year."
CUSO sets
fund target
OTTAWA (CUP)—Canadian
University Service Overseas has
launched a national campaign
to raise $185,000.
The money will be used to
finance about 100 students in
overseas service this year.
National campaign chairman
is M. J. Macdonnell, of Toronto, a former federal cabinet
minister and an outspoken supporter of Canadian foreign aid.
Most of the money is expected to come from business and
industry as well as selected private donors.
CUSO, like the American
Peace Corps, which has a $63
million budget this year, pays
all or part of most volunteers'
transportation to the country
in which they will work. In some
cases CUSO also pays its placements a small living allowance.
Cost of maintaining one
CUSO placement in the field
is about $1,800, including
transportation.
the initiative of examining the
problem, the federation must
presume to solve its own problem," Freund said.
He said the survey is designed
to show the employment picture "from both sides of the
fence."
QUESTIONNAIRE
The questionnaire sent to industry will not be as extensive
as that sent to students. The
main question will be if industry
is planning to employ student
labor this coming summer and to
what extent.
If not, the federation wants
to know why not, said Freund.
The questionnaire sent to students will divide them into four
categories:
• Those who looked for and
found employment.
• Those who looked for, but
did not find employment.
• Those who did not look,
but did work, perhaps because
they returned to their former
employers.
• Those who did not look
and did not work.
RATIONAL SOLUTION
The federation is particularly
interested in the second group,
Freund said.
"'The only way to find a rational solution to the problem is
to start from two extreme points
and meet at a focal point, the
first point being the unemployed students who need work
and the second point being in
the area where industries have
excess money but do not hire
needy students in sufficient
quantities."

World Cup in Berkeley
beckons rugby T-Birds
By GLENN SCHULTZ
The University of California Golden Bears await the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds' 21-member team
for the first game in the World Cup Saturday m Berkeley.
The World Cup series *
is an
annual event between California and UBC. It consists of
four games—two in California
and two at UBC.
The California games go
Saturday and Monday while
the PBC games will be played
March 28 and March 30.
The World Cup series was
first presented in 1920 by the
Vancouver World newspaper
(now the Province). It was to be
competed for on an International-Intercollegiate basis between . UBC and an American
university which has been
traditionally California.
TWO STRONG TEAMS
Until 1947,. the Cup was only
played for intermittently but
since then it has been played
for regularly. UBC has won the
Cup 13 times and California 10.
Last year the Birds lost to
California, dropping three out
of the four games.
Both teams will be stronger
than last year. California
boasts many foreign players;
among them two well-known
New Zealanders—Steve Nesbit
and Warren Moyes. Nesbit
played for the Golden Bears
last year, and is a former All
Black while Moyes played for
the New Zealand Universities
team who toured Canada last
year.

FOR
TWO
By GEORGE RAILTON
It's begun to rain and now
we can get down to the serious
business of cabin skiing. The
last two weeks on the local
mountains have hardly been
worth the effort of getting up .
in the morning.
One weekend we spent loafing in the cabins on Seymour,
occasionally sending people
out to check the tide situation
in the parking lots.
And last weekend, slacked
around the peak of Mystery
enjoying the sun and the
varied costumes people who
were foolish enough to go
stump-jumping were wearing.
It probably will be the
same story again this weekend.
• • •
The Thunderbird racing
team is heading for White
Pass, Washington to find some
snow and compete in the North
West Intercollegiate Ski Association championships.
• • •
After the Birds spectacular
showing in Banff they are
among the three favorite entries.
T-Birds Dave Turner and
Tom Jenkins placed first and
second in the Banff intercollegiate meet and are expected
to be among the top this
weekend.
The other two contenders
for top positions will be Washington State University and
the University of Montana.
Joining Turner and Jenkins
is coach Al Fisher, Eugene
Ruelle, Ian Burgess, Garry
Taylor, Leigh Brousson, Dave
Gibson and' Bernie Kahlert.
Although the Enquist race
on Seymour has been cancelled, the mountain should
be lively this weekend. The
Varsity Outdoors Club is having their annual open house
Sunday.
• •• *
The club officials have extended an invitation to anyone
willing to step out of the rain
and take a look at the cabin.
The three-storey cabin is 100
yards down a trail, near the
end of the "mile-seven" parking lot.
The "night before" is the
big event for the club itself.
Their party is headlined by
the annual chorus line goon
hat awards.
Along about midnight the
party will move up to Goldie
rope tow for torch light skiing and then back to the cabin
to wind up the party.

prediction. Since their last "©ries with Calgary at UBC,

McLellan played for North

Permission was refused.
"Sure he could have helped

"If you make a rule you have

no use making exceptions. This
rule will help UBC in the future."
