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.

I went out offering free kisses as a Valentine's Day stunt for The Ubyssey. And I wrote I was hurt because the boys didn't want to kiss me. Thursday I was nearly hurt because they did.

UBC student teaches overseas Geography in the jungle SILENCE (Continued from page one) as saying no work would be done on the report until Ottawa indicated it would pay a large share. Dr. Macdonald has estimated in his report that B.C. will need $14.2 million in capital grants to build the proposed two and four-year colleges and a large increase in operating grants to UBC and Victoria College by 1965. Premier W. A. C. Bennett told reporters before the report was released that: "The premier's and the president's views on higher education were simi lar." But the silence still remains. By DIANE GREENALL Ubyssey Feature Writer 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 Matz & Wozny 548 Howe St. MU 3-4715 Custom Tailored Suits for Ladies and Gentlemen.

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.

BOOK-TIME BREAK-TIME DATE-TIME NEW FILTER. ...ttie best-tasting filter cigarette Friday, February 15, 1963 THE UBYSSEY Page 3 Drift 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. But watch for RCMP Sir Ouvry lets barriers down Sir Ouvry Roberts is taking down the road barriers at ' UBC. UBC's traffic director announced Thursday that seven road barriers now detouring traffic will be removed by Monday. LIBERAL PRESIDENT ROSS MUNRO ... he has the best Whigs in Canada UBC Liberals named Canada's top Whigs UBC has the best Liberal club in Canada. It was the second consecutive year that UBC Whigs have been named the best club at the annual Canadian University Liberal Federation in Ottawa. McGill debaters to tour England MONTREAL (CUP)—The student president of McGill University is one of two men on a debating team that will represent MicGill during a debating tour of the United Kingdom next fall. Gordon Echenberg, a winner of almost 30 successful debates, and team mate Richard Currie, topped 14 other debators in the five and one- half hour trials. Law society sets contest The Canadian Foundation for Education in World Law is sponsoring an essay contest open to all undergraduates of Canadian universities. The topic is A System of World Order. Essays, either in French or English, must be typed and not 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 Blvd., Montreal 28, P.Q. 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 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. LEIGH HIRST, Arts IV. BENNY BROCK By Gus Friday, February 15, 1963 THE UBYSSEY Page 5 ED da —Bob Flick photo- 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.

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 Frat raid is refused TORONTO (CUP)—Toronto police force morality squad declined to investigate a complaint that pornographic movies were being shown at a U of T fraternity house.

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."

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.

But Laithwaite is on the whole optomistic. He feels that the Birds have a good chance of winning the Cup. "Our backs are much better than last year," he said. "But the lack of games in the last month will hurt us; we have played three games in the last week however—two against the Braves and one against North Shore. The players are coming around nicely now."

LAST SECOND Cross's goal came just seconds before the final whistle, on a fine set-up by Danny Pavan. The ball twice eluded the grasp of Firefighter's goalie Bill Lin- fester. The game was an exciting one, as Firemen provided the undefeated Birds with their fiercest competition of the season. Birds forced most Of the play in the first half although they were unable to crack Firefighter's polished defense. LONE GOAL Firefighters' lone goal came late in the first half when a shot by Bill Cooksley got past UBC goalie George Hrennikoff. Hrennikoff, who played a standout game, suffered a slight concussion in the second half. Proceeds from the game go to the Muscular Dystrophy Fund sponsored by Firemen.

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. Birds in sight of league hockey title Easy street is just two steps away for Father David Bauer's Thunderbird Hockey team- Two weekend victories against the Saskatchewan Huskies shoultt ensure the Birds of the WCIAA championship and a trip to Kingston, Ontario, to meet the winner of the eastern league in a playoff. Birds play Huskies tonight and tomorrow night. FOUR POINTS The Birds or Huskies can pick , up four points in this series and the Birds could get another eight from a Manitoba series while the Huskies will be offered a chance for another four against Edmonton. Both teams are tied for first place with ten points. The two teams meet Friday night at 5:45 in Kerrisdale Arena and Saturday night in the North Shore Winter Club at 8:30 p.m. PRAIRIE GAMES On the prairies this weekend the Alberta Golden Bears play the Manitoba Bisons. The UBC players themselves figure the Huskies are the strongest team in the league.

Birds will meet the second-place University of Alberta at Calgary team tonigiht and Saturday night, and two wins would assure Birds of the conference title.

Gnup upholds football rule UBC football coach Frank Gnup lost some of his top prospects this week. , But he's not complaining. In a test case Murray Mc- Lellan attempted to gain permission to play for UBC next year. McLellan played for North Shore last year without obtaining a release from UBC. Permission was refused. "Sure he could have helped us," Gnup said. "But this decision had to be made sometime." "If you make a rule you have to put teeth in it. And there's no use making exceptions. This rule will help UBC in the future." WljtyAAQl} SPORTS Editor: Bon Kydd Layout: Donna Morris DAVE CHAMBERf . . . respects Husky for
