Diving exuberantly into a pyramid of Christmas mail, Pub members yes- terday ran across a crisp article i n the Toronto Student, official publi- cation of the Student League of Can- ada . The Article, entitled, "U.B .C .

Pooley'a speech . together with th e reply of President Kiinck, is quo- ted . The Student comments thereon : "This reply makes it seem as thoug h there was complete academic free- , dom existing at the University . The very fact that he defends himsel f against Communism being taught ex - poses the fallacy, for certainly h e the would not be able to defend himsel f iif the charge was made of teachin g will Capitalism there, The fact is tha t !the university exists cnly by virtu e of a grant from the provincial gov- ernment which is semi-fascist (stud y Special Powers Act .) This alone would hake it utterly impossible for any professor who expected to retai n his position to favour radical doc- trine in any form ." Warming to the task, the stor y plunges on : "The facts that two sides of any matter should both be ex- plained in the classroom are to o much for Mr . Feeley .

"Against his stand even the Libera lpress was forced to protest . Agains tthe bigotry of this red-baiter theVancouver Sun insisted—If studentsare not given the whole political an deconomic picture, they might just a swell be given no picture at all . "

The article concludes with a stir -ring appeal : "Pooiey's attitude form-ulates one vital question--freedom ofeducation or reaction ? is the littl eacademic freedom of speech therenow is going to be bound under th eregimentation of a consolidating fas-cist provincial rule? "

HELP WANTED

This term the Publications Board is under-taking two projects which can succeed onlyin proportion to the support which they re-ceive from the individual students. The firstof these will be a literary supplement whichwill appear about the end of February. Foronce the Ubyosey will escape from the grossmaterialism, of the Muck page and will ascendto the higher realms of poesy and really digni-fied prose . We hope that with this early noticeall students who have ever written or eve rattempted to write anything original will sub-mit it to the literary editor, and that all wh ofeel thatjhey could write something original,whether in prose or verse, will hasten th etardy flowering of their literary genius . Noth-ing less than an English literary renaissance isexpected next month .

The second project is the Totem. The prin-cipal difficulty of the editors in this case is th earrangement of appointments for the taking o fthe photographs, and persuading class repre-sentatives and other such persons to hand i ntheir write-ups according to schedule .

We hope that the students will make thedifficult task of the Totem staff as easy as pos-sible by co-operating with them whole-heartedly.

,

If we were to turn our eyes into our ver ysouls we would have to admit that it would bemuch easier and just as effective to leave thi sspace blank. However, the campus would findout how sterile the brain of even a Ubysseyeditor can be just after the Christmas holidaysif we did that, and so we set down here th esum total of our momentary inspiration in thehope that nobody will look at it and that no-body will realize the awful truth . We couldsay something bad but we will wait until wecan say it properly .

By Nancy Mlles

THE BETTER LATETHAN NEVER DEPT.

Heppy Noo Ear !

REMINISCING DEPT.

At the end of each year it is customary forcolumnists to take down their hair (if they'rethat kind, otherwise they comb their beards )and have a good cry over the year which hasended .

Far be it from Arthur Walrus and me t obreak with tradition, so here we are, me withmy hair down and Arthur combing his ltpcur-lent moustache and we 're all set to point outthe high points.

First of all last pear was the very best 1934that ever happened, with the possible ex4ep-tion of 1934 B.C. (No, we were not there.)It was notable chiefly because prosperity re-moved its thumb from its nose and somewhatcoyly peeked around that well known corner .It has'nt come all the way round, but rumorhas it that it's going to catch the next streetcar right out in the open .

The prize for polite deflating goes to Mr.Rudy Vallee for a bit of work he did duringthe Christmas holidays, He said, in his my-opic tenor, "The band is now playing '0n theGood Ship Lollypop' featured in 'Bright Eyes'which stars the famous child actress—" pauseand sotto voice but not quite sotto voice en-ough to the announcer, "what's that Fox child' sname, anyhow? "

The prize for bright remarks goes to afriend of our, a very sweet young thing. Some-one said to her, "But after all you ' re young."

"Yes," she said, "And the older I get th emore I realize it . "

Which classifies with the remark of theback seat driver to her husband as he ap-proached the red light . "Dear, if you startedto stop sooner, you wouldn't have to slow dow nso fast . "

The prize for tricky dramatic criticism goesto Neywood Broun, although it didn't happe nlast year, but years ago.

Mr. Broun is dramatic critic for the World -Telegram and comes out rather flat-footed onoccasions . One one such occasion he made th estatement:

"So and So is the world's worst actor . "

Now that made So and So pretty mad so h ewent to see his lawyer and instituted libel pro-ceedings against the World-Telegram and Mr .Broun. It went a certain amount of the wayand was dropped for a lack of interest .

When So and So appeared in his next pla yMr. Broun remarked succinctly,

"So and So was not up to his usual stand-ard of acting . "

The prize for movies will have to go by th eboards because of the two dozen we 've seenwe can only remember "Hi Nellie " and "OneNight of Love " and we're rather vague abou tthem .

Books? Well we read a couple, but make

no awards either ,

The journalism prize goes to the UbyssesOF COURSE.

AN EXTRA RESOLUTION

As we again assemble for the second andlast lap of the academic year, 1935 has al -'ready been with us for something more tha none week, long enough for one or two or al lof our New Year's resolutions to have beenbroken several times . We wish to propose, ina fatherly way, the oft-repeated recommenda-tion to whole-heartedness in campus activitie sas an additional resolution . By whole-heart-edness we do not mean enthusiasm . Excessenthusiasm too often accounts for the failureof student efforts to do something or be some-thing . There is little point in studying fiend-ishly for three nights and playing solitaire th erest of the week, and still less point in keep-ing the caf scrupulously tidy and throwin glunch papers into the lily-pond.

This year in addition to the sports

there was talk of chartering a boat

A spring tour for the Player's Club

A lot of fellows besides Peter, th ePumpkin eater, had wives they tcouldn't keep,

It has come to our ears that no one reads the Muck page .

MUCKATORIAL

We are immensely relieved . Formerly we have tried toprint only Muck that could be safely read by the disciplinecommittee, students' council, theologs and freshettes, whichrather cramped our Ptyle, we admit .

Now we'll be able to print all those stories certain promin-ent students have been telling us in the caf. They'll fill upspace as well as the feebler fodder; as no one reads the Muckpage , no one's morals will suffer but the printer's, if he hap any .

Between December 31, 1934

I laughed and laughe d

So sad, it gave me a headache,

_N N

In 1098, the one data which you

are likely to know, the English de-fied the Norman3 (hurrah!) and re -

fused William as king . But he cam

over, and when Harold saw his

splendor, it knocked his eye out .

Some people attribute this to an ar-

row, but this is because of a fault y

translation of the colloquialisms of

the day.This conquest had one regrettabl e

consequence . Hereward the Wak e

defied William, and his deeds have

subsequently given rise to another

flood cf literature .One day, not long after the Con-

quest, the people woke up to findthat they were talking a languagealmost like English . This discover ywas made in the middle of the night ,so the language of the period i scalled Middle English .

Some time hefcre this period, amonk called Thomas A . Becket ha dbecome involved with a little con-troversy with the king. It happene dthat, at the seine time, the king' sfermenting beer sxploderi all throug hthe castle. In his excitement, hecalled out, "Who will rid me of thisturbulent yeast . '

Four knights Mending near, whoheard him immediately eat out forCanterbury, and slew Thomas A .Becket . The matter has never beenfully explained .

Anyway, the priest's tomb becam ea shrine—for shrinin' out loud! Chau-cer wrote a story about a band o fpilgrims (tourists to you) who wer egoing to the tomb.

Unfortunately, there were a fewpeople on the trip whose stories werenot exactly forerunners of the Elsi ebooks, But an abridged edtiion fo ryou will make quite good reading(unabridged for Sciencemen andmembers of the Players' Club) .

Shivering in the bitter drizzle ,Yet they laugh -God !

Three Practices HeldDuring Holidays

In preparation for their pendingseries with University of Washing -ton, Varsity's newly-formed Ice-Hockey Club conscientiously turnedout for three strenuous practises dur-ing the holidays . Under the fatherlyguidance of Gordy Livingstone, andunder various coaches hailing fromalmost anywhere throughout thepeat Dominion the players haveshaped themselves Into a fairly re-spectable looking hockey team .

Fiat Game Oft Ian. 18According to President Livingstone

the Vanity squad will play its firstgame with the Americans at Seattl eabout the 18th of this month. If for-mer plans do not fall through, therewill be three more games to followthis . With four games tucked undertheir belts the boys will then chal-lenge "The Leafs" (again accordingto Livingstone) .

As far as we can see from thepractices the boys from Vancouve rare out-hockeying the Immigrantsfrom the interior and the prairieswith their outstanding performances ,although the foreigners end is beingwell held up by Burnett, former Re-gina Pat defense man.

Good TurnoutVancouver is being well represent-

ed on both forward and defense. Onthe forward line Livingstone, Va nCamp, Kendall, and Winkler, whil eon the defense, Mouat and Lea areall showing well . For the positio nof goal there is a battle being wage dbetween Scienceman Willis andArtsman Andrews .

Practises will continua this monthand the date of the next one willbe announced shortly . The team hasno coach so far, but they hope t oget one in the near future .

Make Good All Kick s

Varsity's score was compose] of acertain number of stye, and anequally uncertain number of penal -ties, the warriors being too overcomewith the extraordinary success oftheir kicking division, who accurate-ly planted each and every attemptedkick right over the bar, to remembe rthe precise details .

During the course of the gams Mer-cer ' s arm was trodden on by an en-uberant Digger after he (Mercer, o fcoruse) had made a try. The resultswere painful, hut fortunately notserious,

Tie OccasionalsSince this mysterious performance

as the Lost Battalion, inclemen tweather and the defec t ion of the Cal-ifornia tuggers have kept Varsity in -active until the cxhibitioi battle wit hthe Occasionals last Saturday, whic hresulted in a tie . The final score ofa somewhat lagged game, was 9-9 .Varsity didn't have all of its team i nstrip .

Hoop Schedule ToRe-open Jan. 12th

At Varsity Gym nTO PLAY PROVINCE ON

SATURDAY

The Thunderbird Senior A basket -ball team will return today fromtheir inter-collegiate barnstormingtour of Washington Colleges, an dwill resume their regular Inter-CityLeague games on Saturday, the 12thof this month, when they play Prov-ince in the Varsity gym . As a re-sult of their long lay-off from leaguefixtures, the team now finds itself i nthird place in the standing Instead o fon top where they were after thei rlast game in December . Since thattime the picture has changed con-siderably.

Adana On TopThe Adanacs from New Westmin-

ster are now on top of the head with14 points, having won 7 games an dlost 3. Province are second with 8wins and 4 losses for 12 points .

Varsity and V.A.C. are right be-hind Province, each with ten points .However, Varsity has a mathematica ladvantage over the down-town squadsince It has played two games less.Varsity has won five and lost fourgames while Vacs have won five andlost six .

The game on Saturday will beagainst the Province squad. Varsitywill have to be playing at top for mto beat the news-hounds, for Prov-ince has materially strengthenedtheir squad by signing Harvey Mc-Intyre . With this man on the line -up, Province has now nearly th esame teem that won the Dominio ntitle last year.

McKenzie-Fraser Drops Ou tThe ether teams in the leagu e

show several changes in line-up a swell, The McKenzie and Fraser team

The above cup is the trophy offered from New Westminster has releasedall its players and turned in it sfranchise. The team won no gameslast fall, and the players got tiredof coming out on the losing endevery night . Two of their best play-ers, Pat Pickertou and Chuck Holme shave signed for Adanacs, and therest of the squad are locking aroun dfor berths on the various teams i nthe league. Ken Wright was re-leased from Adanacs it while ago ,but is reputed to be turning out forthem again .

Vacs Lose HaughV .A .C . lost one of their main-stays

when the Doctor ordered Bus Haughto quit all firms of ethletics forsome time. The Winced-V squadhad another tough break near th efirst of the season, when Lav Guer-ney twisted his knee in a game withVarsity. However, the team wa sstrengthened when they signed JoeRoss, who played football for Vac sthis season, and who was the sta ron last year's Shaughnessy team .

As far as is known, none of Var-sity's players fell foul of the eligib-ility rules this Christmas . Last yea rtwo of the Blue and Gold team weretripped up. and the team weakenedconsiderably by their lass . It is no tlikely that any changes will occur i nVarsity's line-up this year, leavingit the only team in the league no tstrengthened by additions .

As a result of McKenzie and Fra-ser dropping out of the league a ne wschedule will ba drawn up. It wil lhe published in the Ubyssey as soo nas it is completed .

Hoopmen Miss BoatVarsi ty's Senior B hoopers made a

very had mistake during the holidays.They had made arrangements to tra-vel to Bella Coola to play an India nteam there, with all expenses paidand a guarantee of all gate receipts .But the sad ending of the story i sthat they nr'ssed the boat—in fac ttwo boats . rho first one : the U,S,S .Carden%i, which was to transpor tthem to Bella Coola for the game,and the second : the gate receipts,which tiould have amounted to wel lover $200,

The Lutherans had the edgein the first half, and the score a thalf time was 10.8 for them. Lealby Captain Bardaley, the Thunder -birds staged a spirited rally in th esecond half which just fell short ofthe mark . Bardaley was high manfor both teams with five points.

In the second game, against El-lensburg, Varsity made a good show-ing against a team reputed to be on !of the top-note)-ers in Washington .although the Thunderb:rde droppedthe game by a 21 .13 count . The gamewas featured by close-checking o nthe part of both teams. li, the firsthalf, %llensburg started with a rus hand scored twelve po i nts without areply from the B.C. teem. FinallyWilloughby came through with afree shot and two baskets for th eonly scores t ry the Bite and Goldin the first half . The half ended 12 -5 for Ellensburg ., In the second halfthe American teem again ran up abig lead, and Varsity found them -selves on the wrong end of a 20- 9score . Two baskets by GeorgePringle helped matters somewhat .and the game ended 21.13 for th eWashington squad . Willoughby turne din a smart game for U,i3,C. and wastop scorer for his team with seve npoints.

The Thunderbirds led during mostof their third game, against the Col-lege of Puget Sound in Tacoma onlyto see their win snatches from themin the last half minute when a lon gheave by Teilefson, C .P.S . forward ,found the hoop . This gave the Ta-coma squad the game by a 30-29count . Puget Sound took an earl ylead by 8-0, but the Thunderbird sbrought the score to 11.-11 by half -time. By their accurate sniping inthe second half, Varsity took a 27-22lead near the end of the contest, onl yto have the loggers stage a rally tha ttook them to their one-point win .Willoughby and Bardsley shared hig hscoring honors for the Blue and Gol dteam, while Stoffel with 11 pointswas top man for C.P .S.

Tie Occasionals In Exhibition Game

Shrouded in the mysterious mists of the dankest Decembe rday recorded in the annals of Vancouver, the Thunderbird skept up their winning pace in the last game of 1934, when theyoverran Nanaimo 20-6 on the eighth of last month .

Taking the field immediately after the championship hig hschool game, which was played with an average visibility o ften feet, the Varsity-Nanaimo combination experienced thebeneficent smiles of Nature, who actually allowed the fog tothin until the goal posts could be seen from mid-field . This con-dition endured until half-time .

After that the woolly blanket de-49 'scended once more, and the gladia-tors emerged from the mists occas-ionally to report progress to the by-standers, some of whom were in ,and some out of touch ,

The Coal-Heavers were understoodto have made a field goal and a pen-alty .
