Alma Mater President Reed College Loses Ou tElected Last Monday

On War Debts

Mr. A. E. Richards, newly elected In the last intercollegiate debat ePresident of the Alma Mater Society of the year, held Friday night in theof the University of British Columbia, King Edward High Auditorium, Jac kis the recipient of hearty congratula- Grant, '24, and Walter Hodgson '24 ,tions from his many friends, upon were given a two to one decision overhis success in the recent presidential , the visiting Reed College debaters .contest. This responsible position is This debate was one of a triangl ethe highest honor whch can be paid series, arranged between U. B. C . ,to a member of the student body and Reed College, and the University ofMr. Richards has earned this enviable Montana . At Missoula, our negative

team, composed of Bert Sweeting andErnest Hope, lost an extremely close-ly contested argument to the morepersuasive speakers of the U . ofMontana .

The resolution in this triangle ser-ies was worded, "Resolved that theAllied nations in the great war shouldcancel all external government wa rdebts ." "Ab." Richards, President ofthe Lit. and Scientific, and recentl yelected President of the A. M. S . ,acted as chairman, while the judge swere Mr. E. C. Mayers, Mr. R. J .Cromie and Mr. Tom Richardson.

In opening the debate for the affir-mative, Jack Grant advanced a closelyreasoned argument, but spoke a littletoo fast for a general audience toclearly follow his points . Intricaciesof economic theories and tendencie swere expounded and explained with aspeed which would excite the envy ofUniversity lecturers . He maintaine dthat the cancellation of war debtswas a sound business policy and wasfurther an economic necessity to allthe allied nations involved. He arguedthat United States could not affor dto accept the payment of her warloans and that attempted repaymen tin gold, securities or merchandisewould men the strangulation of in-dustry. In conclusion it was pointe dout that with the cancellation of wa rdebts, the British pound would riseto par; the mark and franc wouldalso rise to the same extent, and bytheir rise would prosperity be in -creased manifold .

The first speaker for the negative ,Mr . Gibson Rowles, painted a gri mpicture of the financial condition ofthe people of the United States andargued that cancellation of war debtscould not be carried out, because ofthe significant fact that taxes arenow so high in the United States thatthey have almost reached the limit ,and that it would be folly for theUnited States to cancel her war debt swhen the only other alternative wouldbe to raise her taxes . Mr. Rowlesthroughout the debate spoke withease and confidence . Fully alive t othe necessity of meeting his oppon-ent's case, he yielded to the tempta-tion of distorting it to fit the lin eof argument which he had prepared .The issues of fact raised ought t o

Treasurer Electe d

Announcement is made of the elec-tion of Bob. Hunter to the positionof Treasurer of the Alma Mater So-ciety. Only one nomination for theposition was handed in and conse-quently the position goes to Mr . Hun -ter by acclamation. This position isundoubtedly one of the hardest on thecouncil and demands a man withmach experience. With Bob. Hunterin the position, "The Ubyssey" be-lieves that the right man has beenselected. Mr. Hunter has gaine dmuch experience along this line fo rhe has been business manager o fthe Player's Club. He has ably hel dthis position for two years. In hisFreshman year he was President of

his class .

Editor-in-Chie fThe Students' Council on Tuesda y

appointed Mr. Harry Cassidy, Arts'23, as Editor-in-Chief of the Publi-cations Board for 1922-23 . His con-nection with this department has ex-tended over two years, and include dexperience in both branches, as ad-vertising manager and as associateeditor . His colleagues on the presentboard congratulate him most heartilyon his appointment, and feel sure thatunder his guidance the "Ubyssey "will achieve fresh successes next year .

post by his brilliant University car-eer, his marked executive ability, an dhis high scholastic attainments .

British Columbia claims Mr. Rich-ards as a native son, the presidenthaving been born in the wilds o fNorthern B . C. Mr. Richards' hom eis at present in New Westminsterand it was in that city that he at-tended High School .

On matriculating, "Ab" came overto Vancouver where he attended Nor-mal until he undertook a bigger jobin the Second Canadian Heavy Artil-lery. After the signing of the Arm-istice, and while waiting to be re -turned to Canada, Mr. Richards at -tended the Khaki University in th eOld Country .

Fired with an ambition to becom ean agriculturist, "Ab" sought ou tour halls of learning in 1919 and im-mediately began to show the abilitywhich has served him out for hispresent position. During his Fresh-man year he was secretary to theAgriculture Undergraduate Societ yand represented his Alma Mater i nan International Debate againstWashington . At the end of the yea rhe was awarded the Returned Sold-iers' scholarship for his academi cprowess . In his Junior year he wasthe winner of both the R. P. McLen-nan and the Leroy Scholarships .

Mr . Richards is a member of thePlayer's Club and played successfulroles in both the Christmas andSpring plays last year . He has suc-cessively held the position of Debate smanager and the presidency of theLiterary and Scientific Department .To the administration of this depart-ment, Mr . Richards devoted muchtime and thought and he distinguish-ed himself on the Council for his ma-ture considerations of Universit ypolicy.

"The Ubyssey" extends congratula-tions to Mr . Richards, and feels sur ethat the University will have n ocause for disappointment in its choic eof a man who has always been acheerful, capable, willing, and ardentworker for the welfare of his AlmaMater. All that remains is the co -operation of the Student body. Withthis support and under such a leaderwe can look forward to a year whic hwill make history in the annals o fU. B. C .

Visiting Debaters Enter-tained at Dance

Tour of City Provided

During last week end we had thepleasure of listening to and later en-tertaining our first visitors from Ree dCollege of Portland .

The Debates Committee did thei rbest to make these men, Mr. Bowlesand Mr. Dickey, feel at home in thiscity, and to make them eager to comeagain .

After the debate a diminutive "Stagparty," made up of the debatingteams, Mr. Angus, and . several others ,betook themselves to . Purdy's, wherethey regaled themselves upon "dough-nuts" (if rumors are correct) and"hot air."

Saturday afternoon . a motor tri pwas provided for the' debaters, withnice cars, nice partners, etc . Havingdriven around the lirecincts of "ourfair city," the party wound up at thehome of Miss Agnew to indulge intea .

On Saturday evening about sixt ycouples gathered at a dance in theCitizens Club, our visitors being theguests of honor .• We . hope they ha da good time. We knw they had ex-cellent partners . And the drive hom e—oh boy!—ask the taxi-man .

Decision ReachedThe Secretary of the Students '

Council announces that the proposa lto establish a Canadian Officers'Training Corps at the University ha sbeen defeated owing to the failure o fsufficient support . While some stud-ents felt that such a corps would addprestige to the name of the Univer-sity, and would uphold the recordgained by University, men in the War ,it is an indication of the generalthought of the time that this proposalhas been turned down .

PLAYERS' CLUB NOTE S

The sale of tickets for the Springplay, "Mr. Pint Passes By," has beenvery good so far . There are, how-ever, still some $1 .00 seats availabl efor Thursday night as well as sev-enty-five and fifty cent seats for eachnight . Since the performance was s owell received in New Westminster,these seats will, no doubt, be disposedof very soon .

There are a great many people wh oseem to think that the second night' sperformance will be the best. Itshould be pointed out that the firs tnight performance here will not bethe first performance for the partici-pants, the play being presented i nNew Westminster and Nanaimo o nMarch 10 and 15, respectively .Some students have purchased or ar egoing to purchase tickets for Satur-day night rather than go Thursday .Besides missing the PREMIER per-formance and VARSITY night, the yare buying tickets which should bepurchased by the general publi cwhose interest is so much needed i nthe University at the present time .The hospital has been given the pro-ceeds of the last night's performancefor two reasons, mainly : first, to en -able them to carry on their socia lservice work more efficiently and ,second, to create an interest in theUniversity among people not directlyconnected with the college . When astudent buys a ticket for Saturdaynight, he sacrifices a chance of inter-esting some people in the Universitywho might otherwise not attend theperformance .

Gallery seats are very popular thisyear as each seat is reserved, and n ostanding in line on the night of theperformance is necessary . The firstthree rows are seventy-five cents, th eremainder fifty cents .

CHEMISTRY SOCIET Y

One of the most interesting meet-ings of the Society this session washeld on Tuesday, March 7, when Dr.Marshall delivered an address o n"Industrial Research in Canada. "

Some of the problems confrontingresearch chemists at present aresuch as the utilization of the lignit edeposits and tar-sands of Alberta ,and the titaniferous iron ores of Que-bec . Then we have the utilization ofwaste products from our present in-dustries, for example, the sulphit eliquor from pulp mills, waste woo dfrom saw mills and fish scrap fromcanneries .

Canada with her vast waterpowerresources is especially adapted to th edevelopment of electrical and electro-chemical industries .

In connection with industrial re -search during the war, the speake rshowed how Canada's status as a nindustrial country was advancedmany fold . Perhaps the most inter-esting all-Canadian industry develop-ed during the war was the manufac-ture of acetic acid and acetone fromcalcium carbide, work on which Dr .Marshall was personally engaged fo rsome time . Other important develop-ments in Canada were the productio nof acetone by fermentation of starch ,and the extraction of large quantitie sof helium from natural gas .

The final meeting of the sessio nwill be held on Tuesday next, March21, when Dr. Uglow will speak on"Natural and Synthetic Gems an dTheir Discrimination ." As this shoul dbe a subject of interest to everyonewhether chemically inclined or not ,a large attendance is expected . Aspecial feature of the evening wil lbe the presentation of prizes to stud-ent members for the best paper sdelivered before the Society duringthe year .

SOCCE R

Varsity vs. C . N . R .Varsity jumped to third place i n

the second division, when they de-feated the C. N. R. eleven by twogoals to one. Despite the pugilistictendencies of the Royal City fans ,and a very inefficient referee, theyemerged victorious after a hardstruggle . In the first half, our elevenshowed an occasional flash of theirtrue form, but their playing seeme dindifferent . Lundie notched a goal ,but the referee disallowed it. Notonly this, but he gave the opposin geleven a foul claiming Jack struckthe ball with his arm. The secondhalf opened up fast and combinationplays began to show themselves .Crate and Manning played a sterlin gdefence, the latter particularly show-ing good form . In a scrimmage be -fore the C. N. R. goal, Jackson triedhis famous sphinx-play, the ballstruck the C. N. R.'s fullback androlled in the net. The railroaderspressed hard, and were rewarded withthe best goal of the game. It wasshot from past the penalty area, andMosher, good goalkeeper though heis, had no chance . This happened sixminutes from the end of the game ,and the hopes of the few Varsityrooters that did turn out went downto zero. Exactly two minutes fro mthe notching of this equalizing goal ,Baker, on a foul kick, sent the balldirectly in front of the net. Thegoalie listed it out, Lundie caught iton his head—the result the winnin gcounter . This is our last game away ;Westminster fans, if they have ateam in first division next year, wil lrenew our acquaintance then . Thecrowd, not Varsity rooters, must hav efrightened both the referee and th elinesman, because both were hopeless .The lineup was as follows : Mosher ,Crute, Baker, Emery, Wilkinson ,Manning, Rushbury, Jackson, Lundie ,McLeod, Cameron .

INTERCLASS RUGBYArts '22 defaulted to Sc. '23 in th e

Interclass Rugby semi-finals whil eSc. '25 won rather easily from Arts'25 by 11-0 . Mosher played a goodgame at full back for the Scienc emen, who on the whole put up a goodbrand of Rugby. This put two Sci-ence teams in the ')lay-off for th echampionships . The race for th eGovernor 's cup is tightening up andwith several teams close together, thesoccer competition should be excitin gand will undoubtedly be the decidin gfactor in the competition, as it wind sup the series .

RUGBY FINA LSc. '23 cinched the Rugby cham-

pionships by defeating Sc . '25 10-0on Monday afternoon . This victorygives them 8t/z points towards theGovernor's cup . Agriculture with 7points is next on the list.

'23 played down hill the first half ,keeping the ball in their opponent'sterritory most of the time . Swert zmade the first touch between theposts, giving Rex an easy convert . Inthe second half play was a little moreeven though '23 had the edge all theway. Both teams played a forwardgame right through, the two three' sgetting little to do . Archie McVittiemade the second try half way throug hthe second half, once more givingRex an easy convert. From this tothe end play was faster than everbut no further score resulted. "Pe-wee" Evans played a stellar game a tfull for the winners and made numer-ous good kicks . The forwards on thewinning team clearly demonstrate dtheir superiority over the opposingline .

INTER-CLASS SPORT S

Now that Inter-class sports arenearing the end of their schedule, abrief comment on their success migh tnot be out of place .

Firstly, judging the sports as awhole, without singling out any par-ticular branch, one is struck by th eremarkable degree of success theyare attaining. This is the first yea rthat interclass competition has bee npromoted to any large extent, and itmust be said that it was more or les sof a venture by the Men's AthleticExecutive . However the idea "caught"immediately, and it is gratifying tonote how it is holding on. Further-more, with such a fine trophy as theGovernor's Cup at stake, the classesare entering into the spirit of thegame with keen zest. There is, nodoubt now that inter-class competi-tions will become an annual eventat the University.

It is very pleasing, too, that all thegames played thus far have been de-void of any ill feeling between theopposing sides . Each team enteredinto the thing in the right spirit, de-termined to put forward their utmostto win the game, That is the rea lVarsity spirit, the spirit that wil lcarry her athletes farther than any -thing else . Whichever class wins thechampionship, all the others will giveit their heartiest congratulations, fo rit will certainly deserve them.

There has been some talk amon gthe men's athletic executive of start-ing the class sports earlier next year ,and extending them over a muc hlonger period. This will help theathletes a great deal, and will hel pto avoid overcrowding of events tha tcame up in some degree this year.At any rate, we congratulate Var-sity on the splendid spirit displaye dwhich has made the sports the succes sthey are .

"AND NEVER ONC EPOSSESS OUR SOUL . . . . "

Have we too many student activi-ties? Does the multiplicity of minorinterests tend to distract and worr ythe student, instead of giving himneeded recreation and useful experi-ence? If the answer to these queriesis in the affirmative, surely the cluehas been discovered for the unsatis-factory atmosphere which has pre-vailed in the university this year.Everybody must have realized some -time in the course of the session thatthere is something febrile and ficti-tious and forced in the efforts to ac -cord fervent patronage to every eventthat requests it . For several yearspast this state of affairs has beenincreasingly evident in the university,but the present session seems to havebrought it a focus .

Nothing could be more harmful foranyone of university age than thislack of spontaneity and enthusiasm inboth work and play. One feels a nerv-ous tremor at the note of over -wrought shrillness in the repeated ex-hortations to "show a little colleg espirit," and the various argument swhich may be summarised as "clim bon the band wagon of the pep par-ade." It is only natural that the res-ponse to these pleas should not begenuine. With so many claims uponhis attention, it is not to be wonderedthat the student, being so solemnl yassured that it is his moral duty tosupport them all, finds his energy dis-sipated . His enthusiasm, which h eattempts to transfer rapidly from on eto another in the effort to include all ,rapidly loses its force, and does notattach itself sincerely to any.

When this University was veryyoung and small, it had to institutevarious nice little games of "make -believe," such as inter=class debatingand discussion clubs. These thingsvery excellently fulfilled their pur-pose at the time, and are still usefu las training grounds for students ofthe two lower years ; but that seniorstudents should devote their time andenergy to them, and that studentsnot taking part should spend ° thei revenings in attending these events ,which can only be justified as "try -outs" and can have no conceivableadvantage for listeners, is an imposi-tion that is largely responsible fo rthe comparative indifference that at -tends important events, such e7. inter -

collegiate debates and games . TheUniversity is suffering from a lack ofperspective, and until this deficienc yis remedied, it is obvious that th etruly important things will not re-ceive the prominence that they de -serve . And the natural remedy is tosubordinate the more trivial things totheir proper place in the scale .

ENLIGHTMENT on theOBSCURE QUESTION of DUT YAs a university, are we dead? We

have been repeatedly told, during th elast week, that we are . We don' t

senses is really more reliable. But ifwe should see that not half the uni-versity is behind what is, from on easpect, the most important event i nthe university year—the elections —we will then have sufficient reason tobelieve what we before considered acalumny on our Alma Mater.

By nothing do we so brand our-selves as all the undesirable thingswhich "dead" curtly expresses, as bygiving to elections support which i sat best half-hearted and slothful .Neither the University, nor anysociety within it, can run itself . Everystep that is taken is necessarily thatof its executive. We, the minority ofus actively, the majority through in -difference, have put that executive inpower .

AN EXPLANATION

fur -

The men's relay will be compose dof the four fastest men from the fol-lowing: Ed. Chapman, Oakley Tiffin ,Archie McVittie, Frank Penwill andCelmer Res. The final tryouts wereheld yesterday, but the times are stil lsecret and will not be announced til lthe day of the meet. Frank 'enwil lwill be Varsity's entry for the 50yds. sprint and will also be one of thetwo divers . He is certain of a placeon the relay team. Oakley Tiffin wil lbe in the plunge for distance, andpossibly a member of the relay .Cyril Jones will tackle the breast -stroke and backstroke . Celmer Rosswill swim the 100 and 220 yrd . races .Ed . Chapman is still fighting hard fora place on the relay team, and stand sa good chance of getting it .

The meet promises to be one ofimmense interest with its great var-iety of events, and also because of th efact that both men and women wil lcompete in the same number o fevents . The Vancouver Club has amuch larger field to choose its com-petitors from and its members hav ehad much experience . This, however ,does not dampen Varsity's ardour .They are out to give the opposin gclub the greatest tussle they haveever had—and if enthusiasm mean s

it will serve to give swimming a bigboost in this city . It will also hel pto establish it firmly in the college

The Experiences of an Exchang eEditor

Those who speak of the "Ubyssey"as "the rag" and comment bitterl yon the absence of all interest in it scolumns, should read some Americancollege papers . They would realiz ehow very handicapped the "Ubyssey "staff are by want of co-operation .Have you announced your engage-ment in the columns of your paper ?Perhaps you will say that you can' tbecause you haven't an engagement .Well—where 's your Varsity spirit ?"Down yonder," they manage thing swith far greater celerity. Justthink how helpful it must be to beable to write: "The engagement ofMarjory Lindsay, '22, to Mitchel lCharnley, '21, was announced Mon-day evening at the Kappa AlphaTheta house. Miss Lindsay is affiili-ated with Theta Sigma Phi, honoraryjournalism Sororty, Tolo Club an dKappa Alpha Theta ; Mitchell Charn-ley is a member of Oval Club, Sigm aDelta Chi, Hammer and Coffin andPhi Gamma Delta (U. of W. Daily) .We ask you—why bother about fillin gspace where such an item may rollin at any moment. Here is a splendidopportunity for some bright lad andblushing co-ed. Who will be the firstto announce his or her engagement inthe "Ubyssey"? Be sure to join allpossible clubs first—and then send inthe announcement. Your new careerwill certainly be showered with theblessings of those who groan on Tues-day mornings—"We need a thousandwords more. "

SPLENDID RECEPTION O F"MR. PIM"

The Players ' Club gave its firstperformance of "Mr . Pim Passes By"in New Westminster last Friday . Th eplay was enthusiastically . received b ya large audience ; and after the per-formance the members of the castand the heads of committees wereentertained at supper by the NewWestminster Operatic Society, andlater at a dance at the home of Judg eand Mrs. Howay .

New Westminster voiced its appre-ciation of the Spring Play through

the columns of the "Columbian" inpart as follows

"The Players' Club of the Univer-sity of British Columbia registere danother success, to add to those o fprevious years, by their initial per-formance of Pim Passes By' atthe Edison Theatre ."

This is of course what we expected ;and there is more in like manner .But as in exactly one week we areall going to seep the much-talked ofplay itself, and as we want our judg-ment and appreciation of it to bequite unwarped, we will omit th eremarks on the play and the cast .

ALUMNI MEETIN G

Each Class to Contribute toProgramm e

From the interest shown and th ekeen rivalry for the premier inter-class position it is evident that eachclass will spare no trouble to carryoff the honor.

The programme itself follows :

1 . "The Camel and The Vamp"Presented by the Class of '1 7Directed by "Pat ." Fraser.

For fear of copying by some busi-ness firms, the advertisements wil lnot be, divulged until this evening .They will be presented by DorothyBolton, Mary McDonald (Mrs . Nich-olson), Bonnie Clement, Lena Bodie ,and Hazel Wilband .

Presented by the Class of '16 .Directed by Muriel Carruthers .

7 . The Alumni Orchestra, under Mr .Earl Forester, will give severalselections and will aid Mr . Mel-ville, who will lead the colleg esongs .

The next speaker, Mr. MarionDickey, in advancing the negativecase, outlined his argument in a clea rand forceful manner and drove homehis points with great vehemence . Hemaintained that the best solution o fthe present problem was the trans-ference of the debts to long termbonds which would be extended fo rtwenty years or more . Further, Mr.Dickey outlined at some length th enegative case, and maintained tha tthey had proved three things :

(1) That financial conditions inUnited States prohibit cancellation ;(2) that the after-war conditions inEurope prohibit it ; (3) that the newUnited States plan is better than can-cellation. While Mr. Dickey spokewell and argued well, his argumen twould have been more convincing ha dit been more moderate . He tried tomake his figures prove too much, an dso gave openings to his opponents.

All speakers were allowed a rebut-tal of eight minutes, and it was herethat both sides showed up best. Re-buttal speeches are the test of ora ldebating . Popular sympathy is wonby hard hitting and by intensity ofconviction. Careful summaries taketime and may do more harm thangood. The visitors tried too passion-ate a rebutal : "You have not prove dyour case nor shaken ours." Thehome' debaters attacked point bypoint and with vigor, making an ex-cellent impression, even althoughthey were often caried to the vergeof incoherence, and often indicated arefutation without driving it remorse-lessly home .

REED DEBAT E

(Continued from Page 1 )

have been cleared up decisively .What can a poor judge do when onespeaker tells him that the amount ofAmerican securities held in Europe i snegligible, and the next speakerclaims that it exceeds $16,000,000 ?

Walter Hodgson, the second speak-er for U. B. C., put forward a highlyeloquent appeal for the cancellationof war. debts from the moral stand -

' point. He maintained that United!States owes Europe a great debt, andthat this debt could be paid by th ecancellation of war debts . In 1917—the speaker stated—the United State sposed as the moral leader of. theworld . Her statesman claimed shestood for justice, liberty and worldpeace . . It is now her duty to live upto these high ideals by agreeing t othe plan of the cancellation of wardebts . As an economic necessity thespeaker concluded, she must not ac-cept her debts, as a moral duty shecannot. Mr. Hodgson's speech hap-pened to consist of an answer to theargument that the United States ha dgot nothing out of the war, and t ohave begun by indicating as muchwould have increased the weight ofthe speech and have given it someappearance of spontaneity. The ar-gument itself was well worked u pand showed much careful preparation .However, Mr. Hodgson spoke a _littl etoo low for the large hall—and th etendency at times was to recite hisspeech.
