To gain admission $0. the, First Year of Arts and Science next September, a s t u. d e n t should have clear Grade XI1 standing obtained by recommendation or by the June examinations. For advanced lstanding he must obtain at least nine units . of credit on the June Grade XI11 examinations. How- ever, since students in the Grea,ter Victoria a:ea, who are completing Grade XII by August supplementals, cannot remain in local High School for Grade XIII, ithe

people out of university; on the contrary, every effort should be made to ensure that all those who would benefit from higher educa- Ition have both encourage- m e n t a n d opportunity. Therefore regulations are enforced in t h e b’ e s t in- terests of students; a n y student, ldebasred by the new restrictions, will be able to apply in writing for special consideration by the Victoria College Admis- sions Committee. If he has ha,d’ a consistently poor record or seems too. im- mature to undertake uni- versity courses, his appli- cation will be rejected.

Valkyries Take Bridgeman Cup

By JENNIFER GENGE The Valkyries, women’s grass-

hockey’s first team, last Sa$Ur- day gained the Bridgeman Cup, symbolic of Island champion- ship, in .a series of brilliant shut- outs. This cup was the one major prize which eluded ithem last year; they lost to St. Margaret’s in the mal.

This year; however, there was no hesitation. The girls swept to the semi-final with mores of 5.0 against Mct. View, 7-0 against Mt. Newton, and 4-0 against North Saanich. The high scorers in these games were Sue Dickin- son and Heather Bridgeman. They took the semi-final 3-0 from Victoria Ladices, .and ad- vanced to the Anal. In a close game against Queen Margaret’s School of Duncan, Anthea Msk and Ann McDougal each scored one goal fo boost the college to a 2-0 win.

Special praise is due to Sue Mearns, capta.in, and the very able goalie, Priscilla, Jacobs, who did not allow a tsingle goal against the Col’ege in the whole day’s play.

WRITE MUCH? There will be a meeting of The

Martlet staff in the Student Lounge a t Gordon Head Thurs- day at 8:OO p.m. The editors invite anyone who is at all interested in reporting for the paper to attend.

e.. In Time for Big WEkend Highlighting the annual

Homecoming week-end cbm- mencing this Friday will be the crowning of the Home- coming Queen and a sports programme with something for everyone. The week-end will be kicked off, or rather faced off, on Friday evening a t 7:30 in the Esquimalt a r e n a w h e n t h e college hockey team takes on the Army in a crucial game for first place. The soccer team will get the ball rolling at Gordon Head Saturday at 1:30 when they take on UBC in defence of their unde- €eated record. At 2:OO the w 0’ m e n wolleyballers w i 1 1 stage an exhibition in the gymnasium. This will be followed by a men’s game a t 3:OO. Also at 3:OO o’clock, a cross-country from the Lans- downe campus to Gordon Head, via Mount Tolmie, will see entries from a number of local high schools, Rpyal Roads, and Shawnigan Lake Boys’ School c o ’ m p e t i n g a g a i n st Victoria College’s well trained types. At 3:30 the college ruggah squad will proceed to dis’mantle a hand- picked g r o u p of r u g g e d alumni, and at 4:OO o’clock the Vikings “B” basketball team will take the floor in the first of a series of three

“net-ball” games, the second one a t 5:30, featuring the women’s team in an exhibi- ,

MORE SPIRIT? It is high time a number of the college’s student leaders

took stock of their never ending call for increased spirit. We wonder if they will ever see the true meaning of %spirit” and how it is obtained. It’ certainly is not obtained by just sayin, “Okay, gang, let’s have more spirit.” If anytbihg this actually decreases spirit.

We must realize that spirit is a gradual process that is built up through the years. Victoria College cannot hope to have as much inbred spirit as McGill or even that other university across th’e strait. Here, we are new, we are not yet organized and aged to the point where our spirit is great.

Let us not deceive ourselves by saying we are spiritless. Alnyone who has been to any of the college hockey games will know that this is not true. However, we still have a long way twgo. With this in mind we suggest that the “spirit callers” aniong us cease immediately and spend their valuable time on some more worthwhile enterprise.

NIFTY BIT Well finally, after too many years, we have within these

hallowed halls a S t u d e n t s ’ C o u n c i l Special Events Committee and, more important, one that has enough imagination and initiative to procure entertainment that appeals to a college audience. The obtaining of Chris Gage, The EmperoTs and Rolf Hanis for the Tuesday noon-hour show last week was, to say the least, a’nifty bit of handi- work dn the,part of the new committee.

This is the very type of thing that makes people look forward with eager anticipation to Tuesdays, skcure in the feeling that they are really getting something special from their Alma Mater fees. If this calibre of entertainment can be maintained the specail events programme is sure to be a booming success.

A LIGHTER VEIN Our curiosity was recently aroused by the discovery

that no operetta is to be produced a t college this year. The reason given was that the heads of the Music Department and the Faculty Fine Arts Committee decided among themselves t,hat last year’s presentation of “Down in the Valley” was a.flop, and for this reason they felt it would be much nicer and much more to the credit of the college if they instead presented the old standby “Messiah” and, in place of an operetta, Mozart’s “Requiem”.

Both are, indeed, commendable works. However, two points must be raised regarding their presentation. Firstly, why must the college always produce such sober efforts? Why not stage something in a lighter vein-something more appealing to the student body as a whole? After all an operetta, or whatever, produced by any university is primarily for the entertainment of, the students and not necessarily designed to measure up to the whim of the general public. Aside from this most of us have already heard “Messiah” and only a limited class of people are really struck with the idea of being subjected to “Requiem”. “Down in the Valley” was not the dismal failure it was made out to be. Had it been, there would still be no reason to stop producing things of this variety. If Oak Bay High School can do “Brigadoon” and McGill University can make such a roaring success of “My Fur Lady” (which, incidentally, was written, produced and directed entirely by students), there is no reason why a student group at Victoria College can’t tackle something in a lighter vein with a reasonable degree of success.

The second, and we suggest more oppressive, question in point ‘is that of the function of the Faculty Fine Arts Committee which, coupled with the Department of Music, appears to have the entire say in what- the college will produce music-wise. Operettas, choir presentations and the like are, it occurs to us, extracurricular activities. This being the case the Students’ Council and the group interested in staging the production should decide, at least in part, what is to be presented. As it stands now the faculty does the deciding ahd the students do’ as they are told. Of the faculty, in the form of committees and depart- ments, is so bent on dominating extracurricular activities (by this we don’t suggest their advice is unwelcome), in this field why don’t they take over the Drama Club too and put the whole thing on a good, easy to manage high school level?

Concealed , , * Campus By ROlY DUGGAN‘

After: perusing the ambitious ong, term plans for the future Kictoria University, I find, in me respect, a singular lack of €oresight demonstrated.

As we are all well aware, the world situation is rapidly de- beriorating, the ultimate catas- trophe s e e m s inevitable as negaton upon megaton is stock- piled and t e m p e r s become shorter ’ and shortter. When the button is pushed it will mean mnihilation, the terminal total war, where mankind, in a pro- Tression of dazzling flashes, Zezses to exist.

This morbid piclture is m.erci- fully alleviated, however, with the r t e a l i z a t i o n that mkn’s fruitful ,existence may continue undaunted by the construction of an edifice as 8implc as a bomb-shelter. When ensconced in {this structure one is safely concealed from nasty fallout and other deleterious effects which - may ,develop both I during and after the initial discharge,

It should now be evident that the aforemenltioned lack of fore- sight liles in the‘ fact that our p 1 a n n i n g board is clearly oblivious to this threat hanging over our respective heads. They actually envisage a, normal, everyday campus, firmly planted on “tefra firma” instead of 8 revolutionary but necessary con- cept of a university under- ground !

If for no other reason, this is justified by Mr. Bennett’s and Mr. D i e f e n b a k e r ’ s. sterling examples of public expenditure to this end. ’ bur governmenlt will continue to function from thmeir subterranean Houses. 01 Parliament, regardless of the state, or indeed the existence ol their electorate.

Surely, judging from the antics of the local legislative power univer.sity students have with it at least an equal claim to sur- vival, if intelligence and useful- ness are Ito be criteria.

Aside from this, think of the tremendouh sense of security in knowing t h a t r e g a r d l e s s ol events in the outside world, our2 w o u 1 d continue undisturbed perhaps t.he only institution ol its type still in existence, carry- ing on the quest for knowledge

The problems that would arise in a situation such as this would be manifold. The minor ones pertaining %to existence, could nc doubt be quickly overcome b5 our humanitarian technology Where th’e hardship would fall would be in lack of extra space and vital activities such as Jivc Clubs would unfortunately havc to be eliminated. In fact, Itherc would be room for little else out- side of lecture halls and thc library and it is doubtful whethel a present day university coulc continue (to exist only for thc sake of education.

NOTICE! It is the policy of the Depart-

ment of Publicity and Publica- tions thht no student with ar opinion to express s h a 11 bt denied th,e opportunity to ex- press it, and to this end cen- sorship of V i c t o r i a College periodicals is v i r t u a 11 y non- existent.

This ,degree of liberty is, how- ever, a.ccomplish,ed by a high degree of r e s p o n s i b m i l i t y to observe the universally .accepted rule5 of libel and slander, as weB as the standards of ordinary good taste.

As much tolerance is expected of each publication as it desires at the hands ‘of the general public.

B A. I11 won a scholarshln from the Ger- Editor’s Note: Last year Mike Horn,

&an Fdreign Students’ Academic Service for a year’s study in Germany. H e has chosen , Freiburg University at Breisgau in the, Black Forest. Here are some of Mike’s first impressions.

By MICHIEL HORN With the start of lectures still

;wo weekB away, I’m so relaxed after seven weeks of holidays :hat it take8 genuine effort even bo think of Victoria College. But after s0m.e concentration, I managed to do it (shudder) and ta take tim’e out to wish every- m e a happy Russian exercise or physics lab, or midterm, or Fri- day ‘noon’ tribal dance (if the Jive Club is still in existence). You have my sympathy and admirat’ion, though n o t m y envy. But to the point.

Having j u s t survived t w o madly exciting weeks in Paris, I’m back in Freiburg, my home town for the next year. Though smaller than Victoria, it is a university town-the university has over ten thousand students “this means thpt the cultural life is very active. It is possible to see a play, go to a concert or recital, or watch the opera, any night one wishess. Tonight it is Mozart’s “Die Entfuehrung aus dem Serail”.

Moreover, it’s a German town and, by Victorian standards, wide open. After e a t i n & in the Mensa, the student dining hall, I ha,ve an idea; somebody should start a drive to sell beer, by t h e pint, in the Vic College caf, Perhaps that’s ‘a poor idea, hoav- ever; at the price of B.C. beer, most students would soon go broke.

Here, though, beer is cheaper than almost any other drink (water is, I: ‘believe, cheaper) and it tastes good.. ,.

Anyone who has ever with dis- taste s w a. 11 o w e d B.C. beer, should be forced to drink Feier- ling Export. Actaally I hardly think force would b,e required Possessing half the potency of B.C. beer,’ it has five or ten, or f i f ty times the taste. Apropos, I hope this does not Start an influx of Engineers into Frei- burg.

My attitude is still Victoria:? enough that I observe with SO^ surprise a society where drink- ing does not fa,ll under the stigma of sin, or is not consid- ered at least something “naughtj; but nice”. The unofficial college song’ would here be pointless; t c drink beer is hardly daring, it j s entirely normal.

I n Paris, I ‘was intrigued tc see a battle waging, in the Metrc and the theatres, against, not alcohol, but excess. Hundreds ol placards told one that it is un- wise to drink more than one litre (somewhat less than a quart) ol wine a day. Indeed!

In Amsterdam a sign at the entrance of some pubs warned youths under 16 that they were not allowed to enter!

And in spite of all thesc tokens of “shocking moral lax- ness”, I have yet to see anyonc drunk since the alcoholic Ameri- can on the ship that brought mc to Europe. M o s t European: seem to be able to ,drink without necessarily tying one on.

Is the European attitude per- haps saner, than the British Colunzbian? I would think so, but’ to import a European situa- tion into Victoria would bse t o tempt the gods.

Anyone who has ever attended a college dance will ‘.have seen numerous people totally unable to hold their liquor or use dis- cretion in using it. Or is it because drinking is “forbidden fruit”, that students go to excess? I expect the real reason lies deeper, and I leave the ques- tion to the wiser heads of soci-

md the Socreds. In the meantime, there’s the

:oziest little Weinstube j u s t tround the corner. . . . Don:t vork too hard!

Tale of TWO Yo-Yi By ED’ POMERIOY

It is indeed fantastic that it jhould happen but I am afraid ;hat it has. Earlier this year

POMEROY

two very famous pereons regis- tered at our col- lege but h a v e now withdrawn ’

a n d registered elsewhere. The c h a r a c t e r s in question, n o t - able i n b o t h t h e f i e l d o f Education a n d Literature were

removed from the institution by their very irrate .mother aflter me or two incidents during the first week of collcege. Only now will she permit the truth to be known about, “Dick ,and Jane’s first week at college.”

In the words of the venerable 3ld bat that raised the kids this is how it all happened.

“Well Monday morning I went in to wake up my two dears for 2ollege and ’ how happy they were. Jane clapped her hands and said, ‘Today is the big day, Dh goodie! Dick clapped his dear little hands and said, oh goodie, Dh goodi’e, today is our big, big, day! They bobh had hdt bowls of Dat meal ,for breakfast and, strapping on their books, started out on the big adventure.

“Dick said,~ ‘goodbye, mother,’ Jane said, ‘goodbye, mother,’ Spolt said, ‘Like let’s make out with some dog food, lady!’ Jane kicked Spot a good one. She hates snarky dogs.

“Jane and Dick skipped off merrily to college. They had such fun, they wrote on papers and drank milk. Jane wore a tight sweater and Dick di,dn’t. Lots of boys talked to Jane. I

Talk, talk, ,talk. Nobody talked to Dick.

“Then som,e bad lads made them wear cards. Jane said, ‘look, Dick, mine is yellow’. Dick. said, ‘Look, look, mine is yellow too! ’ Then a big boy gave them some caps to wear.

“After a while they were allowed to go out and play. They had lots of fun. Everybody watched ihem. They danced and sang and drank more milk. Drink, drink, drink. Jane said, ‘Why is everybody watching? I feel like Lady Godiva.’ Dick said, ‘Sheeesh! ’

“After they had danced and drank milk and danced and drank milk for seven hours a big boy came and dancead with Jane. Another big boy came over and , drank Dick’s milk. Dick wanted to knife him but it was too crowded.

“Late, late, late, Dick and Jane came home. Jane said, ‘Hello, mother.’ D i c k s a i d , ‘Hello, mother.’ Spot said, ‘Bow-wow- wow.’ Jane said, ‘That’s bekter.’

“The next morning when I went in to, wake up the, little angels for their second big day I said good morning dears, break- last is ready. Dick said, ,‘Groan, mix me a brom.0.’ Jane said, ‘Groan, groan, mix me two bromi.’ Spot said, ‘Snicker, snickefc, snicker.’ Jane didn’t even bother to kick him bult I ”

knew she didn’t appreciate his sense of humour.

“After several mornings ,like this I got to thinking that maybe my children were too young to go to college so I withdrew them and sent them both to jimmy xicket’s morning classes, ahd they are both doing very well.”

’LETTERS TO THE EDITOR L’A llegro Dear Sir:

I was indeed gratified to read the plsea of Mr. Rod Fuller for the establishment of a “move- ment” to perpetrate the “free and mature dilscussion of sex.” As Mr. Fuller points out such “movements” have met with

’ gpeat success in Europe but have North America. .He would like to not yet gained a foothold in be the pioneer of such a “move- ment”, beginning here at Victoria College. This is, very commend- able and I sincerely hope that the students. of this university will not let such a n oppor- tunity for universal distinction escape them.

I would suggest to Mr. Fuller that he ~ do some preliminary r e s e a r c h on the subject-A. Lender’s A Positive Approach to Sex for the Teenager is a very discreet treaqtment and can be purchased reasonably at any bookstore - then present T h e Martlet readers with a construc- tive program for the establish- ment of “the movement”. I am sure that once this was done many other frosh would be glad to join “the movement” for the sake of . progress and out of respect for t h e , good name of Victoria College.

Perhaps ’if a few s c’i e n c e students wo’uld offer their assist- ance to Mr. Fuller a mso r e rounde,d p r o g r a m could be developed. I am sure that such a “movement” devoted t0 prac- tocsl research in this field could do even more for the future of all North Americans than could a discussion group.

Yours sincerely, 0. LONG.

P.S.-After serious deliberation it has been decEded to hold a n organizational meeting a t noon today in (the cupboard under the stairs in the Paul Building. All “abysmally ignorant” frosh are cordially invited to attend.- O.L. * * * I1 Penserwo Dear Sir:

May I offer a few comments on Rod Fuller’s letter: Perhaps it was rather unfortuhate that it

‘was published, #evidently we still ’ have some immature minds in our midst. d u r generation is living in an era where sex dominates every aspect of life. Discuss it all you like but keep it in proper perspective. There are certain basic rules of morality and c o nlduc t that. must be adhered to if civilization is to survive, in spite of the crack- pots and perverts who tell us otherwise. Students ar,e still young enough to have ideas colored by what they read, and in our century we are living in a world peopled with sick minds and disordered lsouls proved by c u r r e n t literature. We have watched the last gates got down on sex and immorality, and have nowhere to ‘travel for further shock. All this has delighted and intrigued our generation, It’s like having eaten too much one still wants to be stuffed. There is nothing new under lthe sun. Relationships between man and woman have ,been going on long before David took his generals’ wife’ to bed.and sent her husband out to be killed. The modern approach is just s nice way of dressing, up sin. Let’s stop t.his nonsense and get on with living. Discussions will not be an ex- pression of &udent freedom on the campus essential to the main business of learning. Sorry this has to b’e anonymous, 1 have grown up.

Spirit Endangered Dear Sir:

If we continue with the present system of noon hour lecturing, there will, be no college spirit left within a year; it is rapidly deteriorating right now. How are clubs supposed to hold rneet- ings when every Tuesday the auditorium houses a special event, and most Thursdays, the same situation prevails? (This is not a tirade against special events; I think our special event programme is one ‘of the, best things that has happened to the college; what I am complaining about is the no longer existent noon hour). How-if we have any hopes of inbegrating the too- o f t e n n e g l e c t e 4 d education students-are we sup~posed to hold all’ meetings on the occa- sional free Thursday, when those students are out teaching? HOW many other universities carry on lectures during their lunch hour? We are crowded, but surely 5:30 lectures or even 7 :30 a.m. lectures are more practical than 12:30 Lectures. The human ,body is oriented to a break at this time of day, and doesn’t like a change after twenty years or so of be- coming accustomed to this. b i d e from the impracticality of this ridiculous’ system, then, bhere is (the physiological effect to consider.

I would like to make an ‘open plea to every organization on this campus that has any inten- tion of continuing to operate this year It0 write a letter to the admiqistratioa requesting a re- instatement of the previous system of noon-hours. Thls sug- gestion comes from, no personal whim; I will not b’e here next year, but I wi.sh those of you who will be here woul,d give this prohlem some considerattion.

I don’t care ‘ i f you have lectures at 12:OO midnight next year, but I do care what happens to the college spirit on our growing campus, and it will de- crease ,in direct ratio with (the increase in student enrollment if the valuable contacts made through organized activities are lost.

This ‘is your university, as you’ve been told many times. Now ,do something about this.

DALE IRVINE.

* * * What a Bore . Dear Sir:

I supposb (that in any college there is always somebody play- ing at the art of being a bore, but I think Mr. Nixon has gone too far.

He can say ,almost anything he likes in his cute little newssheet but when h,e makes nasty cracks about your number one humour columnist, my hero Ed Pomeroy, then I think he is showing ex- tremely bad taste:

ED POMEROY.

* , * * Profs Inuestigated Dear Sir:

Lately s t u d e n t s have Eeen some wonderously strange things happening in their classrooms- “department heads” have been attending lectures. Th e y are not., as some would like to think, taking a refresher cours,e; they are inspecting new professors a t the college. It’s encouraging to see that someone is taking an interest in the calibre of instruc- tion here, bnt also discouraging to see such unreliable methods of observation being used. The inspectiqg of one teacher by another is something th’at one migh,t expect, anld indeed, does

find at the public school level; these institutions are notably slow i n c h a n g i n g to better methods. However, there is no excuse for this sort of ithing be- ing carried on at the university level.

Just in case some professors are not aware of this, there are tests available which are de- signed to “inspect” instructors. The tests, which are adminis- tered and i n t e r p r e t e d by a trained psychologist, are based on the fact that fhe students’, as a group, are more qualified than anyone to report how good an instructor is. From the results, an- examiner can not only gra.de‘ an instructor, but can also sug- gest ways for the professor to improve his teaching. Surely if a job like this is to be done, let’s have it done .properly.

PERTURBED. * ’ * *

Brought Up Short Dear Sir:

After laboriously deciphering my somewhat blurred copy of the Novemlber 3 issue of the “Cen- turian”, I wm brought up short by the astounding relization that such trash was actually being spawned a(t the college level. It appears that in this paper good journalism is the exception, rather than the rule.

It must take colossal gall to criticize a fine journalistic efforlt such ,as The Martlet while pro- ducing a news-sheet which can- not compare even with the lowest of the U.B.C. sheets, which it professes to revile. The “Cen- turian” is undoubjtedly extremely slanted, and it begets me to as& why, if these gentlemen want t.0 expr,ess their heartfelt opinions, they do not seek refuge in the Speaker’s Corner, instead of wasting paper?

If we must have the “Cen- turian”, let it at least be an honest and worbhwhile effort.

Poor Facilities Dear Sir:

The executive of the Victoria College Jazz Club gives a vote of confidence’ to the S t u d e n t s ’ Council and (the Special Events Committee. These people are workihg hard to bring top enter- tainment in the field of jazz and the arts to this institution.

The Jazz Club has in the past been one of the most popular and well attended clubs., .This year however the attendance has been poor. The reason lies in the fact that the facilities avail- able to the qlub are far from acceptable. T h e S t u d e n t s ’ Lounge is just 1\00 far away and the e q u i p m e n t is not good enough to play the ‘expensive and of ten irreplaceable records of our members. ’

Meeting-wise w,e will not liave much success until the Students’ Union Building is available. However, the Jazz Club will give its. complete co-operation to the Special Events Committee in bringing live jazz to Vic. U.

APOLOGY . ,

The Editorial Board of The Martlet wishes to apologize tcr Rod Fuller for the letter which appeared in the last issue under his name, and for any embarrassment it may have caused hiin. Since the letter was signed with his name, we assumed (wrongly) that it was his work and printed it as such. We wish to make it clear that Rmd Fuller was not the author.

T h a t may be so, but it’s my theory that there won’t be a war if we all turn Communist tomorrow.”

ApathB Inbred? First Year Girl: “How would

First Year Boy: “I don’t know.” Second Year Student: “I don’t

know anything ,about them.” ,

Third Year Student: “They’re poorly supported.”

Fourth Year Student: “Fan participation should increase.”

The college, over the last few years, has been almost totally lacking in support for any of its teams, be they basketball, soccer, hockey, rugby, or any other. This state of affairs persisted last year despite fine seasons by rugby, hockey, waterpolo, grass- hockey, and an improvement in the calibre of basketball offered to fans. There is, as of yet, no indication of any lessening of the public, apathy.

I wondser how many people on our ‘Students’ Council, who stood upon the campaign platform and pledged unselfish effort for the blenefit of our university, give a damn whether the grass-hockey team., or any other team wins or loses? How many of them check the newspapers to see how our teams representing our univer- sity ‘are doing? Not very many. They are content to sit upon a cushion of prestige, mechani- cally carrying out thse functions of their office. However, do they really ‘feel any pride in our teams? Do they trouble them- selves as to how support can be increased? Some do, it is true. Many, however, never let such considerations enter their ego- l;ist,ical little minds!

This apathy is not inbred in our students! The high schools get good support for their tceams. After two or three years of stag- nation in these sober halls, how- ever, one has no desire to support anything, save him or herself. I t is tl?e respagsibility of thg Students’ Council to rekindle a feeling, of pride in .the ,athletic achievements of the uaiversity.

annot be built overnight. A t imes, in the past, pep rallies and arious other large-scale publi- ity devices have been irnple- n,ented. However, they have \ ’

een few and far between. The usual method is to pub-

cize one game, and, when this ublicity fails to bring out an verwhelming crow.d, everyone ives the idea up, despite the act that the crowd might have leen larger than a,ny previous. Vhat these people lose sight of 1 the fact ,that they are not nducing people to support their eams. They are attempting to lroduce a, feeling of identity be- ween student and team; a feel- ng of belonging to and having , share in’ all phases, of college ctivity. Thus the c o u n c i l hould take the lead in a public ampaign. that consists, not of a ew days inducement, but of a ustained attempt to ,foster, in he studegt ‘body a permanent ense of idehtity .and pride. Let’s give our athletes a little

[Going Straight lowing a n error in judgment against the college.

I't was a fine team effort with the Vikings unlucky not to have scored more. R u , s s e 11 and Grenier in particular missed great chances. The wholesale shuffling of the forward line pro- duced more scoring power tban has been evident all season.

On November 2 the Vikings edged ovt Navy 1-0 in a penalty studded contest to gain a share of first place in the Es,quimwlt Hockey League. Last Friday the Vikings whipped Esquimalt 6-2 to 'remain in a first place tie 'with Army. Both teams now have three wins and one loss. HARD HIIPT'PNG

The Viking-Navy game was a hard [hitting affair from start to finish. The two teams battled through two ,and a half periods of scoreless hockey before Jim Galbraith scoreld from a scramble in front of the net. Doug Bamborough and Stew MacFar- lane assisted. 1.t was a frustrat- lag game for the Viking forwards due to the clutch and hold tac- tics of the Navy and the con- tinuous parade to the penalty box of both Iteams. The defence performed well wibh both Bam- borough and Barry Hodgkins turning in solid games. Tom Krall distinguished himself with three penalties 'and. Jim For- rester made perhaps - the key play of the game, getting back to pull down a Navy forward from behind when lthe sailor was alone on a break away. Goalie Pat Cain played a steady game, surviving both flying pucks and fiyidg fists to earn a shutout. REVENGE

"

William Head Minimum Security Prison Farm with mixed emo- tions'. They were tied for the lea'd in the 8-team Sa,turday Division of It h e Combination Slo c c e r League, 'Qnd t h e y h a d the highest scoring forwarrd line and probably the best half line in the league. But opposing this incen- tive and ability to win was the psychological factor of playing, on their own small dirt field, and with their own supportqers, a team of convicts who had yet to lose a game and who would cer- tainly try a little harder against a team of college students.

The soccer team rose to the occasion and when the final whistlte sounded after 90 minutes of grueling Boccer the Vikipgs had notched their sixth straight victory by a 2-0 score.

Playing into the wind in the first .half the Vikings had many good scoring opportunities but couldn't get it past the goalie. The best chance came when righit winger Brian. Cornell was left wide open 20 feet from the goal but was thwarted by the Indian goalie. The first half ended with no score.

At the 10-minute mark'of the second half came thte big break. Hand *ball was called against William Head and right half back and Captain Barry Menzies took a direct free kick from about 30 yards out. The goalie misjudge'd his leap and the Vikings had a 1-0 lead. Then with just five minvtes remaining left wing Jerry Melissa broke loose down the wing and crossed the ball into the goal mouth. Centre forward Tom, Moore was there to add the insurance goal. Moore has scored 15 goals. in six games.

Next game for the Vikings is Saturday at 1 :30 p . m . at Gordon Head against the Jpyvees from UBC. The Vikings have lost at Gordon Head the last two years and are out for revenge.

Speaking on b,ehalf of the Ruggah teams James Barton Moore, yesterday issued a chal- ltenge to the soccer team to compete in (the race to Gordon Head this Sa.turday afternoon. "We can beat them easy as a. tea party," said the team-spirited Moore. In accepting the chal- lenge on behalf of the soccer team Dave Humphries said, "Why not?" * * *

The w a t e r polo team an- nounced recently that they have purchased a new water polo ball. This addition to the team is seen as a great asset.

Ruggah Maintains Position The Vikings maintained their

second place position over the last, ,two weeks, winning two games while losing one.

A week ago Saturday the Vik- ings lost to the Oak Bay Whites 14-9, thus enlding the season against that team with no wins and ;three losses. The Whites went into an early 3-0 lead and were never headed although the college did tie it up 3-3 shortly

'. after college points came from Forry Angus with two penalty goals and Tom Bourne with one try.

Thursday, lthe Vikrings took on the C o 11 e g e Nocsemen, fresh from their first victory, a 17-0 triumph over N.T.S., and in a hard f o u g h t ganie, which featured the loss of Bo,urne for at l'east .a week, took them under 11 -6.

Both (teams saw action again Saturday, this time the Vikings, assisted by UBC $udent Iain Ogle, defeating Royal Roads for the s.econd time this season. Ogle scoreld a try, a penalty goal and a convert and Craig Andrews counted anothmer try as the col- lege squad took it 11-3.

The N o r B e m e n meantime slipped from their hard playing form of Thursday while going down 22-5 before the Oak Bay Reds. The Reds led 13-0 at the' half and 22-0 near the end but Mike Bassebt went over and Wick Wilson converted on the last two plays of the game to save the

Norse from complete humilia- tion, the result of our tackling, falling and teamwork.

Both Ruggah squads have bmyes in next week's league action as a game is being planned be- tween the Vikings anld a home- coming side as one of the many homecoming athletic features.

Injuries still plague the Vikings as Gray Eaton, Eric Sudler, "Ber- nie Sinclair, Bob McWhirter and Don Beban are all out along with Tom Bourne.

The addi,tion of Iain Ogle for Saturday's game showed how much the Vikings really need a place kicker with distance. Per- haps we would have one if any- one practiced and tried.

The Ruggah team plans to arrange a game with a team of ex-Victoria' College students as part of next week's homecoming festivities and perhaps has a few other entertainment tricks up its sleeve.

The next, league games for the college teams are on November 25, with , the Vikings going against N.T.S. a t Gordon Head; and the Norsemen at MacDona1,d Park to fare J.B.A.A. side.

Next Febfruary 3 will be bhe biggest day for the Norsemen, however, as they are scheduled to play the Oak Bay Reds at Gordon Head and J.B.A.A. at MacDonald Park. This Will tax the skill of She Norse, without doubt.

DON’T THINK FOOLISHLY A description of the function

of a true university by Mr. R. 3’. Bishop, Head of the Depart- ment of English, The article has been a d a p t e d from a speech Mr. Bishop delivered recently to a group of Victoria business men.

.Almost two hundred years agc ,hat wise, if pugnacious old man 3r. Johnson, annoyed by Bos. vell’s claim that if he were ir mrliament “he would be vexec f things ,went wrong” responde( ‘that’s cant sir. It would no 7ex you more in thme house, thar .n the gallery: public affairs ve: no man.” And when Boswel ?ersisted he gave him anothe woadside, “My dear friend, clea your mind of cant. You ma: t.alk as other people do : you ma: say to a man, “Sir, I am you m.ost humblse servant’/ You ar not .his most humble servanl you may. say, ‘These . are bac tlmes; it is a melancholy thin to. ble reserved to such times YOU d o n ’ t mind the tim.e! You tell, a man, ‘I am sorry yo had such ba.d weather the lae day of your journey, and were s much wet’. You don’t care six pence whether he is wet or dr! You may talk in this manner; j is a mode of talking in society but don% think foolishly.

“Clear your mind of Cant Don’t think foolishly.” Thesl we good words for us to conside . n this moment when Victorir 2ollege is at the crossroads wben it is in the hands of it ?resent governors, faculty an( student body t’o shape it as ai >ducational institution for th1 next generation.

minds a concept of what : university is, of what a univer sity m.an should be, the dange is that our colltege ,will grow, a so many other‘ ,so-Called institu tions of higher’ learning hav grown on this continent, shape1 by the demands of various pres sure groups, groups that hav no acquaintance with the tradi tional role of the university, ulzti it becomes a mere processin plant, a thing having no inne spiritual dynamic, amorphou and helter-skelter.

Now it seems to me that ‘ther is on this continent a grea conflict in the public mind as t what a university is for. Ther are those who are sure ‘that th only reason a student goes t university is to learn skills, to b a doctor, a lawyer, an enginee: a minister, or a, teacher. And am certain that many, pasrent who have not ha.d universii; training, would not be prepare to spend their money assistin their children to get universit training ‘if ,these skills were nc to be achieved on universit campuses.

:onvention some years back. She was a good Christian of the non- smoking, non-drinking persua- sion. I remember the absolute horror in her voice when she told me on her return of the first church luncheon she abtended in Copenhagen. The beverage served /

was beer. And at the end of the ’ meal all the ladies present lit up cigars. A1.l of which leflt her ?ondering. on the question: What .s a Christian? She had, so to speak, had a real university 3xperience. She had her simple wmmptions abruptly juxtaposed with a different set of ideas. ‘She vas faced with new questions t o which she had to find a n answer. Not being very flexible she con- :luded that there was some- thing wrong with Danisb C?hris- tianity. Had she been univer- sity material she might have quesltioned her assumptions as to the basic doctrines of Chris- tianity. As an old friend of mine 3nce said, if Christ had intended all Christians to be t.t. he’d have gone through the marriage feast turning not water into wine, but I

wine into tea. Are you a little horrified a t bhat remark? Do you consider it blasphemy? With a university in its midst Victoria must accustom’ itself to more sides of an argument being pre- sented than that approved of by the newspapers and acquiesced in by a majority of citizens. I t must adjust itself to Ithe presen- tation not only of the Anglican visew, or the Roman Catholic view, but to the atbeisit view or the Comm,unist view. ’ . .. I

student paper making pronoun- cements on sex and religion and liquor *and politics and atom bombs. And it must learn to listen, and. if it doesn’t agree with any speakers in any contro- versy it must learn to respect the us8ual process of academic debate and exercise patience, and toler- ance. .:‘For we cannot find the right or wrong in our position unless systematically we analyze that position and the position of others. If as well as giving money and building buildings Victoria will exercise such tolerance, it can have a great university. . Otherwise it will simply have a so-called institution of higher learning conferring ,degrees, de- grees that merely certify that students h a v e survived four whole ‘years of sleep beaching. There is a vast difference be- tween having the mechanics of a univetsity’and beinglab university.

u33 SUE DICKINSON

Sue Dickinson, your Girls’ Athletic rep., is a “wee” Welsh lassie at heart from, Swansea, 19 years ago. Sh’e left the U.K. when 10 years old and resided in Winnipeg before fina,lly settling in Sidney six years ago.

Her love for all sports while attending Q u e e n Margaret’s school in Duncan lteaving her no time for pranks(?).’

While on campus, she plays for the A grasshockey (team, be- longs to the Creighton Club and is on the Students’ Council. Sue chairs the Special Events Com- mittee and is wokking for ah extra special homecoming cele- bration.

Despite (the extra-curricular activities she does have time for the necessary study in a history honours course majoring in European hi,story. Her first goal is an M.A. fro’m the University of Washington. After spending a year travelling in Europe, especially France, she plans t o enter a secretarial school in London, England, which will prepare her for the Diplomatic Service.

n o s h , listen! Shle, too, had the problem that many of you have now-not knowing much about the college nor its stud- ents. Sue realized, in second year, that to meet others. and feel “a part” of the life a t Vic- toria College, she should partici- pate in. order to get something out of it. Even a drop of “30%” in one’s grades,, because of par- ticipation of activities on campus is worth the “spirit of belong-

Observation of teachers, either p ‘1: e8 e n t . or future, revealed Itheir 24-hour discipling and “teaching”. Carol wants a career that lasts only 8 hours a day except in an emer- gency. After all, “your private life is your own.”

* * * SIMON WADE

The bearded-boy on our Coun- cil, Simon Wade, represents the Third Year students. He has spent one year, plus !three short visits, during his, nineteen years, in Europe,’ After attending Shawnigan Lake Boys’ School for six years, , Simon attended a school in Switzerland for Cana- dian students.

Any free time ‘was spent in- dulging in the great art of living as a European. He has become a’ lover of European liquor laws, women and education ( ?) . While there, he had the opportunity to travel in Italy, Germany, Aus- tria, and the “wonderful”, Scan- dinavian countries. After a two: monlth course in Paris last sum- mer at the British Institute, while continually dodging Al- gerian bombs, Simon returned to Victoria.

You can buy from the bookstore a paperback caaled Yhp,argonrop - Its Theory and Pmctice, which puts medical journals to shame.

HORSESHOE BARBER SHOP Syndicates Invade Campus

J ,

Big-time crime has moved in on Victoria College. Always hot beds for corruption and crime, universities are ,often singled out

/ by the isyndicates as easy marks, The editorial staff of The Martlet was !tipped off early in the term to a numbef of sus- picious h,appenings, so a reporter, assisted by an insider, has un- covered the following astounding facts.

The Geography 303 people received a refund recently from the bookstore for being over- charged for a nurkber of “maps”. We know the real reason for,hhe refund - the “shipment” didn’t come through. This is being corrected by an industrious pro- fessor who will supply the col- lege with poppies grown in our own greenhouses.. Now you know why pipes are being sold in the bookstore.

Some people receive injections from, the nurse for smallpox, polio, and the like zct least once a year, but what are these people doing who see the nurse for an injection every day? What is a

poor underpaid public servant such as a nurse doing driving a new flame-red Bentley? And who ar’e thlose wr,etched pople who roll about in the halls and scream on the days that the nurs’e does not show up?

The cafeteria has developed into a veritable sin den. If you know the password, all you have to do is stand in line, say the f,ew words, and you receive one of those smdl green packages with the stubby brown cigarettes in them. This also entitles you to sit in the booth nearest the coff-ee urns to smoke-the one wilth th,e cushions. And for an extra, dollar you can get a glass of “apple juice”“istraight.

Did you know that there is an underground Rassage leading from the Ewing Building to the Paul Building. Well, there is, and though we know this will shock and disgust most of the s.tudent body, we feel we must reveal what is going on down there. A brothal has been set up, and it is doing a roaring business! Yes, students, a bawdy house here on campus. Our re-

SCIENCE BUILDING Above is the model of the proposed Science Building. Expected to be completed by September, ’

1963, tenders will be submitted in early 1962. The building is to be divided into three basic sections joined by a four-storey tower containing stairs, elevator, lounge ’Itreas and washrooms. A three-storey laboratory wing will house Physics, Biology and Chemistry ltabs. The office and research wing of four-storeys will include seminar rooms and provision for ah astronomy dome. A separate on,e-storey wing will house two 150-seat lecture halls and four smaller lecture

rooms, with a full basement providing a student lounge.

Critics’ Corner

1 PAN-PAN One of the best ideas ever

conceived at this insti,tution, the Qpecial Events Committee, has brought Victoria College students quantity and quality enterltain- ment-jazz from the P. J. Perry Quintet, folbongs from Van- couver’s “Emperors” ,and humour Australian-style from Rolf P a r - ris-all within two, weeks.

The first group, the P. J. Perry Quintet, presented a very listen- able and well worthwhile con- cert to an overflowing audi- torium.

Individually the musicians did live up to the students’ antici- pation of two hours of excellent jazz but ithe quintet as a whole clung to a rather stereotyped jazz idea. They opened each number with a sixteen bar in- troduction of well thought out music and ended in the same manner, but :the middle portion was usually a round robin of furiously executed, b’ut i(dentica1 finger exercises with littlce or no reference, ,to the original bheme OT mood. ’

In our opinkn, “Billy Boy” by the ’ quint&@ , very promising pianist was ‘me ‘best number of

the concert with its solid chord- ing and consistent m,md.

One week later the Emperors, known as CanaEt’s Kingston Trio, brought fine harmony and well-rehearsed numbers from Vancouver. Whether from fear of . I +VC’s famously formidable audience or from relative inex- perience the .;trio, however, failed to come alive in all but one number - “Three Jolly Coach- men”. Here the trio sang for fun and the sudience relaxed in pleasure. The young sionals had good voices an%::; very en j oyable.

Kangaroo-land’s Rolf Harris followed the Emperors. ,Here was a true professional and a genuine stage personality.

Ad Lib Item: The only thing we can think of that is more ridiculous than .the rumoured Students’ Council four-man cen- sorship committee is a five-man committee.

STUDENTS CAUGHT AT ROADS

Five students of Victoria College Friday night ven- tured onto the grounds of Royal Roads where they were apprehended by Roads cadets. A report issued late Saturday indicated ,

that the students had earlier been at a college banquet and were in a state of intoxication when picked up on the grounds of ‘th,e Service College. R.C.M.P. officers discovered a car ‘containing a quantity of liquor, apparently belong- ing 40 the five, outside the grounds. The students were taken into custody. Charges are pending. Names of the students involved were not released by police.
