Scores Notable Triumph

In "Pirates of Penzance"

WELL-KNOWN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN OPERASTARS KATHARINE REID AND IAN

DOUGLAS ; DIRECTED BYC. HAYDN WILLIAMS

BY E. N. B .HE clear soprano voice and poised acting of Katharine Reid ,leading lady, made "The Pirates of Penzance" an epoch inthe history of the Musical Society of the University' and a

notable event in the social calendar of the year . Closely pressingMiss Reid for the honors of the performance were Ian Douglas,the Pirate King, and Robert Brooks as the debonair and distinctlyunmilitaristic Major-General .

Influenza, which earlier in the wee kthreatened to disrupt the perfor-mance, resulted in two last minutechanges in the cast . Gordon Wilson ,the original Sergeant of Police, wasunable to appear and his part wastaken over on the eve of the openin gby Nelson Allen while Day Washing-ton was shifted from a pirate to apoliceman .

Mackay Esler played Frederic, thepirate apprentice, who in spite ofspending most of his 21 years in thecompany of outlaws has maintained acharming innocence—especially in re-gard to women—and a devotion toduty which almost proves his undoing.

"The Pirates of Penzance" is acolorful and exotic spectacle. The gla-mor of the unreal which shrouds itwas enhanced by the obviously im-possible and illogical situations an dby the setting—first in a remote partof the Cornish coast and later in aruined and eerie castle . However, thetendency of the supporting cast, bot hthe assembly of pirates and the choru sof daughters, to group themselve saround the leading characters lik erobots who respond to mechanica lcues in spasmodic movements and the nlapse into stoical immobility, was ver ynoticeable and tended to detract fromthe single effect .

Robert Brooks, as Major-GeneralStanley whose encyclopedic but some-what chaotic knowledge astonishe dthe pirates, was excellent . He was th esource of most of the humour of th eevening and prolonged applause wasaccorded him for his work. Althoughhis part did not give him as much op-portunity to sing as in "The Gardenof the Shah" last year he showed togood advantage in such a number as"I am the Very Model of a ModernMajor-General . '

Alma Mater Meeting

Featured By Exodus

"That the Alma Mater Society o fthe University of British Columbiarespectfully represent to the govern-ment of the province that, in the opin-ion of its members, the proposed pol-icy of limiting the attendance of stu-dents is one which is opposed to thebest interests of the University, an dto the whole educational system of theprovince ; and that imtmediate steps betaken to present the views of the So-ciety to the, Government . "

This was the motion put by FrankHall and Eric North before the specialAlma Mater meeting held in the Audi -tor um, Friday, February 20 .

'We are not opposing Senate atthis meeting, we are cooperating withthem," said Frank Hall in introducin gthe motion . "By opposing the govern-ment we are not committing ourselvesto favor either Liberals or Conserva-tives in the future," he continued .

"The time is inopportune for lim-itation," said North, "because th eprovince is growing . Are we to be con -tent to submit to a static universit yin a dynamic province?" he asked .

Immediately after North's talk ,most of the audience, small in an ycase, rose "en masse" and trouped outof the building, contrary to an un-written law that no member of th eAlma Mater Society leave the meet-ing before the Students' Council, toattend one o'clock lectures .

'Ubyssey' StaffRegains Rights

of Free SpeechRenewing publication with the un-

derstanding that the 'Ubyssey' wouldbe issued for the purpose of opposin gthe Students' Council on the subjec tof Grantham's resignation, the Pub-lications Board decided Thursday af-ternoon to put out a paper Saturday .

Grantham refused to accept the re-signation of his staff since he deeme dit in the best interests of the Univer-sity for the paper to continue, wer ethe restrictions withdrawn . The Boardassented to this and voiced the opin-ion that it would do battle with th eCouncil to have Grantham reinstated .

H . Koshevoy was recommended b ythe Board and appointed by the Coun-cil to take the position of Editor-in -Chief for the rest of the term . Koshe-voy emphasized the stand of the Boardby declaring that he only accepted hi sposition in order to fight Grantham'scase .

Paper OutlinesLife and Work

of Carman"Before reviewing Carman's work ,

it is almost a prerequisite that hi sbackground and early life should beunderstood," declared Ronald Gran-tham in a paper on "Bliss Carman "read to the Letters Club on Tuesda ynight .

The poet's colonial ancestry wa smentioned, and a description of ol dFredericton given in the words o fCharles G . D. Roberts .

"The lovely little city of the Loyal-ists, bosomed in her elms and hal fencircled by the sweep of her majes-tic river, was stirring with a strangeaesthetic ferment." Good literaturewas appreciated, and many were writ-ing poetry.

Carman's school and universitydays were outlined. "In 1886 he wen tto Harvard, and may be said to hav estarted a new phase of his career, "Further shaping influences on the de-velopment of his talent and philoso-phy were mentioned .

"Bliss Carman evolved a philosoph yof his own, which permeates all hi swork ." His "Unitrinianism" calle dfor the balanced development of th eintellectual, physical and spiritua lpowers .

The poetic works of Carman werebriefly treated, special mention beingmade of "Low Tide on Grand Pre, ""Songs from Vagabondia," "By theAurelian Wall," the lyrics recon-structed from fragments of Sappho ,"Songs of the Sea Children," andlatter books ,

"Self-censorship was a virtue whichCarman never really learned, and anumber of his poems are the worse fo runnecessary stanzas . A tendency t oobscurity and to repetition are otherdefects that sometimes appear, but i nthe estimation of critics, the excel-lences of the work far outweigh suc hoccasional shortcomings . "

PLAYERS' CLUBPREPARES FOR

HIRST NIGHT

Spending all their spare time onrehearsals, members of the cast ofNoel Coward's brilliant play, chose nfor the Players' Club's vehicle thi syear, are fast approaching profession-al calibre for their first performancewhich is slated for Friday at Clover-dale. All parts have now been de-cided and everybody in the club i sworking at fever pitch to "put th eshow over." Following the Cloverdaleperformance next Friday the cas tjourneys to New Westminster on Mon -day to thrill the fans which the societ ymade there last year .

Bill Cameron, who is taking th epart of the insouciant George Brent ,is exceeding all expectations in th eway in which he is getting under th eskin of the part. The three principa lwomen, all so different from eachother, and each adding to the charmof the play, are Nancy Symes, George' ssecond wife . Marjorie Ellis his daugh-ter, and Dorothy McKelvie his firs twife . These last three are the contri-bution of the freshman class to theplay .

Alfred Evans who has played lead-ing roles in two of the society's forme rproductions, is interpreting the im-portant character of George's son ,Sholto. Those who are supplying th enecessary atmosphere of an Englis hhunting county, with their individua lidiosyncrasies and peculiarities areAnn Ferguson, Ruth Bostock, Bett yBucicland, R. Knight and E. H. Tull ,while St . J . Madeley will "battle, "

The complications and humour i nthe final act are to he given to thos ewho attend by Jack Ruttan, an enter -prising American business man, an dAlice Morrow, an Italian maid who 'thinks George is "unit vacha ."

Council Standsby Pub Board

In FutureConflict between the Publication s

Board and the authorities of the Uni-versity has been smoothed over bythe decision of the Faculty Council t otake no action on the editorial "Criti-cisms from Above" or on other editor-ials, articles and letters that have ap-peared in the Ubyssey and caused Fa-culty censure . The restriction of Pres-ident L. S. Klinck is in this way auto-matically withdrawn and the papercan continue publication . Accordin gto the letter sent by Faculty Councilany further action in the case is to b eleft in the hands of the Students 'Council .

The staff of the Ubyssey, after ameeting on the question as to whethe rto continue issuing the paper, decidedto publish since the restriction ha dbeen withdrawn and the problem o fcensorship given for consideration tothe Alma Mater Society executive wh oback the paper on the matter of freespeech .

President Klinck's letter and th eone from the Faculty Council ar eprinted below :

Dr. Klinck states : "My restrictionupon the editor of the Ubyssey and th ePublications Board was only until suchtime as the Faculty Council shoul dconsider the editorial "Criticisms fromAbove," and their action thereon re -ported . The Faculty Council has no wconsidered the above matter . A copyof their findings is enclosed . My tem-porary restriction is automatically re -moved . "

The Resolution passed by the Fa-culty Council, Feb, 26th, reads as fol-lows : "Whereas the Student Counci lhas affirmed and exercised its author-ity over the Publications Board as evi-denced by its action in requesting an daccepting the resignation of the edito rof the Ubyssey on account of certai neditorials, articles and letters publish-ed in the Ubyssey, be it therefore re -solved that the Faculty Council tak eno action re the editorials "Criticism sfrom Above" and other objectionabl eeditorials and articles, and that anyfurther action in the case be left i nthe hands of the Students' Council . "

Council vs. GranthamStudents' Council, sitting aloof in the solitude of its pocket -

edition Olympus, has called for and accepted the resignation of Ro-nald Grantham, editor-in-chief of the "Ubyssey "

This is a step of the utmost seriousness, unparalleled in th ehistory of this University . And the reasons given for this actionare "deplorable lack of tact" on the part of Grantham, failure t oreport to the omniscient executive an order from President Klinc kand the suspension of publication "without valid reason ."

Considering these "reasons" in reverse order, it appears tha tthe cause of the cessation of publication was a reaffirmation o fhis restrictions by President Klinck, after the matter had beenconsidered settled by agreement, The "Ubyssey" felt that to con-tinue under censorship of this kind would be to betray its stand fo rfreedom of the press, a stand regarding which Council has uttere dmany mouthfuls of approving words .

As to the duty of the editor to report the President's order sto Council, may we first point out that the case was unique, bein gwithout precedent . Secondly, it is obvious that had Grantha mfully understood and obeyed President Klinck's mandate, therebysubmitting to suspension of student opinion, the worldly-wis eCouncil would have taken no action . Grantham's sin in this mat -ter is that he forced Council into accepting the unpleasing duty o fsupporting (by words) the rights of the student body which i tmight otherwise have avoided .

There remains the charge "lack of tact ." This is surely aheinous crime, an unpardonable sin that only a few depraved mindscould even conceive. Infinitely preferable is the course adopted b ythe babus who infest the executive offices of the A .M.S . Thesestraight-forward worthies inform the Publications Board tha tthey will do or die for the freedom of the press, and at the sam etime lead the Faculty Council to understand that Grantham ha sbeen disciplined for voicing opinions offensive to authority . Thisis naively revealed in the motion of the Faculty Council which re -solved to take no action regarding Grantham's editorials sinc eStudents' Council had done the deed on its own account .

Grantham committed the crime of preferring straight-for-wardness to "tact," being unable to stomach the idea of playing th epart of hypocrite .

e

e

a

Came the DawnLet us look at Council from another angle not sitting in thei r

Elysium of entanglements but standing up for once for the right sof the students with a written statement of support for the Ubys-sey in the matter of Free Speech were the restrictions of the Pres-ident not to be withdrawn .

Council is to be commended for this attitude of upholding th eprivileges of the Alma Mater Society in directing its own publica-tion. At the same time the worthy executive must be condemne dfor its tardy realization of its obvious duty to the paper and th estudents . An earlier recognition of this responsibility might hav eprevented several of the serious difficulties that arose between th ePublications Board and authorities once President Klinck's initia laction had been taken . It would have shown the staff of the "Ubys-sey" that it had the backing of Council on a subject that shouldhave united the two factions .

The restrictions placed on the "Ubyssey" by President Klinckhave been enforced throughout the series of protests and resigna-tions and the question as to whether the President will have an yfurther right to again prohibit the publishing of comment in th e"Ubyssey" will be decided with the ratification of the PublicationsBoard constitution which will make the paper responsible solel yto Students' Council as executive of the student body . This pro-vides that any action to be taken by University officials will haveto go through the medium of Students' Council who will decide th econtroversy for the students .

Post-Graduate StudyFrom time to time announcements appear in the "Ubyssey "

regarding scholarships and fellowships offered by other universi-ties. The source of all this, and a good deal more information i sthe Registrar and students desiring particulars in any case shoul dapply to him .

University of British Columbia students have done very wel lin post-graduate work. Besides winning a total of over $468,000in scholastic awards, they have done much to establish the reputa-tion of U. B. C . as a center of learning . While the population ofBritish Columbia has been completely oblivious to the fact, thesemissionaries have gone forth to broader fields and by their persona lcharacters and high scholarship, they have made this universit yrespected in the scholastic world in a relatively brief time .

It is desirable that the high standard set by these leaders i smaintained and that the number of graduates qualified to repre-sent the University in other places is constantly increased . Stu-dents who have consistently good records should consult the Reg-istrar for information regarding the many post-graduate scholar -ships and fellowships which are available .

THUNDERING HER DEditor, "Ubyssey"Dear Sir :

1 would beg the Indulgence of a few linesto protest most vigorously against the conductof several hundred students who on Friday lastwere discourteous enough to leave the AlmaMeter meeting in the auditorium before th equestion could be put, and who thus reducedthe result of that meeting, which had been pe-titioned for by a number of students, to no -thing .

I believe it to be in the interest of ever ystudent to be present at every Alma Matermeeting if at all possible . I also believe thatit is a matter of common courtesy, in addl .clan to hearing the supporters of a resolution ,at least to remain in attendance at the meetin guntil the question can be put and in this wa ygive an official expression of opinion .

The resolution presented at Friday'. "fiasco "was sufficiently pertinent to compel the in .terest and consideration of every atuden LThose responsible for presenting It probablywould have been less disappointed if it hadbeen defeated rather than to have had themeeting adjourned because of lack of a quo -rum. Let us have a little more spirit directedto the ends which it can serve best .

Yours truly ,Jay Aye Gee

DITTOEditor, "Ubyssey, "Dear Sir :

I suppose the fiasco of Friday noon will bethe subject of considerable comment in thecolumns of your paper. I cannot, however ,resist the temptation to add my modicum t othe mountain of scorn which those pueril emembers of the A .M .S . deserve for leaving inthe middle of a meeting .

There is absolutely nothing to be said fo rthem. They Insulted the intelligence and eta-bility of the entire student body, and in scram-bling out of the auditorium presented a spe cLucie painfully reminiscent of a herd of bawl-ing cattle .

Sincerely,E. H. KING .

AN EX-EDITOR SPEAK SEditor, "Ubyssey "Sir :

Allow me to congratulate yuu, your staff,Students' Council, the Faculty Committee, an dall your numerous supporters on the truly re-markable tact you have all shown in dealin gwith this tactless question : "Freedom o fSpeech. "

In the first place we all had the tact toagree with the former editor. Certainly itwas the right and duty of the "Ubyasey" touphold free speech . We talked "big," and som eof us had our talk published in the "Ubyssey, "a tactless thing to do.

Then came the news of Grantham's suspen-sion . With its characteristic talk the Publica-tions Board was up in arms. Resolutions hadbeen passed supporting Grantham ; free speechmust be upheld at all costs ; and Grantham wasthe champion of free speech !

True to Its resolution the Publications Boar dpublished an ieaue to insinuate that it couldn' tpublish again until Grantham returned, an duntil the "super-imposed orders" were re-moved .

Then came that magnificent Alma Matermeeting . All the great intellect of the studen tbody was there, crowding the auditorium t ooverflowing . Fearful lest it take some actionto embarrass Its own peaceful repose, tha tgreat body decided to stand by and do nothing .

We pledged our conduct before we kne wwhat we were pledging . We voted to do no-thing before discussing what we might do .And the humanity side of it? Why, Grantha mwas only a student who was tactless enoug hto question the powers that be . Let us lavis hour friendship elsewhere and forget people whoare tactless enough to fight for democracy .

Then came an apology and an agreement ,apparently satisfactory to both Presiden tKlinck and Ronald Grantham . The agreement ,as published in the "Ubyssey," stated : "ThePublications Board will voluntarily refrai nfrom any criticism of the University, the Fa-culty, or the Government until the decision o fthe Faculty Council as to the status of the stu-dent publications has been delivered . "

What did all this statement mean? Mem-bers of the student body requested an expla-nation . Had Grantham backed down as a neditor ?

The "tactless" answer was forthcoming I nthe next Issue of the "Ubyssey ." under theheading : : "Premature Burial,"--Grantham' sSwan Song .

Having now had time to discover their in-tuitive discernment and ready ability to dealwith emergencies, our great executive leaders ,who, it I. said by their tact, have won for th eUniversity free speech, at last decided to tak ea hand in affairs . Whom should Council up -hold? Was Council elected to represent the fa-culty or the Alma Meter Society ?

As usual, the editor of the "Ubyssey" de .tided for Council . He resigned ,

Quick to take advantage of this, Counci ldisplayed its tact . Why not uphold the author .Ides in their opposition to Grantham? Thelatter couldn't object. He had already re-signed . But to make Its action more effective,Students' Council could specially ask him toreal n .

But how would the Student body take this ?Oh, well, Grantham was only one individual .And Council could take the wind out of hi ssails by assuming itself to be the Instigato rand champion of free speech . The rest woul dnot matter . Moreover, Council has had evi •dente of the unquestioning attitude of its Alm aMuter members to the "Divine Right of Coun-cil ."

But how about the "Ubyssey?" Here Coun-cil employs its tact in separating the Insepar-able,- namely Grantham and free speech .

Annointing Koshevoy as the future guard-ian angel of that elusive nymph, Free Speech ,which incidentally fled with Grantham, cun-ning little Council has persuaded the flamin gjournalists to take up the pen once more an dwrite to their little hearts' content---imposingthe understood restriction, as a solemn dut yof course, that they must be "tactful, "

In the meantime our sagacious authoritiestake advantage of the loop-hole provided byCouncil and the new Publications Board.

The "superimposed restrictions" are re -moved as their time is up with the meeting o fthe Faculty Committee. Thus these "super -imposed restrictions" make a dignified retreat.

Then the Faculty Committee, having per-mitted Students' Council to carry out the wish-es of the authorities, withdraws gracefull yfrom all show of Interference, at the sam etime promising nothing.

Thus dignity Is preserved all round . Butwhat of the real hero of this great retreat ?Is he rewarded for doing what Council woul dnever have dared to do? No . He is an out -cast -a "tactless," "dangerous" insurgent ,branded ae incomnetent by those who shoul dbe ashamed of their own inertia .

If "tact" is refusal to stand for fair treat-ment to individuals of an alleeed democraticsociety, then i for one am prepared to admi tthat Students' Council hue an amazing amoun tor that "tact" which is lacking in Ronal dGrantham .

At the same time i would nek the questio nis it honorable to be n "tactless" martyr fo r

students' rh-hts? Or is it more honorable tohe n member of that "gown-adorned goose-st,•nninc bodyguard" of the administratio nwhich now assumes the duties of n "firing -squad? "

Once ngnin, eon"rntnlations on tact . Letns forget ju't :ce and honour .

FUN AND FUNDAMENTALS

BACK ON THE JOBBeing as it is now a matter of

weeks since I last wrote this column ,I had better get back on the job beforebetter men take it away from me . TheLiterary Department has individuallyand collectively taken a crack at it ,as well as a prominent outsider,—tosay nothing of our own S . E., whoseapt and pungent remarks have bee nappreciated, although his fearles scandor has caused us tremors . Onseveral points I am tempted to cry"It's an unsalutary calumny," (asthey do not say in the best sport cir-cles) . Especially about sport havin gruined the S. E.'s sense of humor ; Ishould think it would be developed ,and to the highest point, at that . Iknow that a single sportorial reduce dme to near hysteria . But maybe litera-ture has unfitted me for the seriou sbusiness of life .

A VISITATIONTimes have been hectic lately, and

Pub has had almost an air of springcleaning. And of course, as alwayshappens at spring cleaning time, adistinguished guest has dropped in —none other than our friend the Muse ,on one of her spasmodic visitations .She will make her public appearanceon Friday next in a miniature supple-ment of one page only ; this stricturebeing compelled by the imminent pub-lication of a poetry chap-book—ofwhich more anon .

TERPSICHORE TOONor is Euterpe the only daughter

of royal Jupiter to pay this campusa flying visit . Her kid sister Terpsi-chore is slated for an engagementhere under the auspices of the Music -al Society, whose noble pirate chorus -es have been thrilling all the dwellersin the auditorium building for weeks .I always said it—what this universit yneeds is to become Gilbert & Sulliva nconscious, and the M. S. should begiven a Sss-Boom-Ah for attemptin gthe Herculean task .

A NEW DEPARTMEN TI am thinking of instituting a new

department— "Famaus Sayings ofFamous People ." I should like to givethe lead to the anonymous but emi-nent composer of that satisfactorymot, "What's the score here ?"

"

F ALL the phases of sea-going

O life, none held the adventure ,wealth, or excitement of the old-

time whaling," said Mr . W. N. Kelly ,addressing the Vancouver Institut eMeeting„ in Applied Science 100, las tMonday on the subject, "Whales an dModern Whaling. "

Whaling by the Norsemen was en -gaged in about 848 A.D., and it wa staken up in Spain and Portugal dur-ing then tenth century, said thespeaker . The old methods for captur-ing whales were used until late in thenineteenth century, when a Norwe-gjan invented the explosive harpoon .Following this invention, steam whal-ing came into being, and the smal lboats gave way to larger, motor -driven craft, remarked Mr . Kelly .

It was not until 1905 that whalin gwas started in earnest on the BritishColumbia Coast . "In that year 242whales were taken from one stationand this number increased to 474 i n1911 . After this date, the whales seemto have migrated farther north, forin 1916 only ten whales were taken ,necessitating the closing down of th estation," continued the speaker .

In 1918, when the price of whal eoil was very high, the total proceed sfrom all stations on the coast were$1,250,000 .

According to biologists, the whal eis thought to have once been a lan danimal. In 1919 a whale was capturedat Vancouver Island with two ful lgrown legs. This very interestingspecimen was saved, and one of it slegs is now in the Victoria Museum ,Mr, Kelly said .

"In B.C., the whales are reduced onLand Stations," remarked the speaker ."The flukes are first cut off to fa-cilitate towing. When the whalereaches the station, the blubber is cutoff, and passed through a slicer, fro mwhich it falls into elevator buckets .These buckets carry the blubber tothe reducing pots. Then the carcassis dismembered, and the bones boiled'under pressure so that chipping is no tnecessary later. "

Ambergris is one of the most val-uable products of the whale. It oftenappears in masses weighing three orfour hundred pouyds which sell a t$20 an ounce, said Mr . Kelly in con-clusion .

Members of the Statistics 1 classare wondering whether there is anycorrelation between the knowledge ofmean tricks imparted in that cours eand the appearance of the "periodcancelled" notice which adorned th edoor of the Stat . Lab. last Fridayafternoon . Certain it is that the path sof many embryo statisticians showe dconsiderable deviation from the rout eto the lab. at the appointed hour. Infact, had their positions during theafternoon been plotted, it is probabl ethat the distribution would have re-sembled a scatter diagram .

It is not known whether Professo rDrummond attributed the unusual dis -persion of students to anything othe rthan the normal curve of probability .Had he taken time to make calcula-tions, however, he would doubtles shave realised that some extraneou sfactor was significant in affecting th eattendance which was far below th eaverage . The local sigma sharks havelearnt the error of assuming that dat adisplayed on the outside of a door i san accurate index of what is takingplace inside .

Science '33, having made the stu-dents of the U. B. C. thoroughly "hotdog conscious," has repeated its sue-cess with a pair of red silk pyjamas .These were donated to the stadiu mfund by Mrs . Allard, 3006 Broadwa yWest, who specializes in dressmakingand dry goods . This solitary pair o fred silk pyjamas, although naturall yof great value owing to their color ,crazed 750 people to the extend ofpaying ten cents a ticket in the raffle .Seven hundred and forty-nine per -sons including seven hundred and for-ty-five co-eds were, of course, greatlydisappointed at not winning the cov-eted prize—the lucky person beingMrs, M . Iyldesley, 3141—10th Ave W .with ticket No . 93 .

After considering the applicationof the students of the Anglican Col-lege for admission to the Alma Mate rSociety, Students' Council decided toappoint Hutchison, Grimmett, andCampbell to interview the students ofthe College regarding their petition.

In a motion proposed by Schultzseconded by Thompson, the Counci ldecided that Prof. A, H. Finlay andProf . E. U. Lighthall of the Civil En-gineering Department be appointe dsubject to their approval to act as aboard representing the student bod yin the supervision of the expenditureof the Stadium Fund, and working i nco-operation with Professor Buck.

"That Prof. J. F. Day be asked, i fhe would consent to act as auditor o fthe Stadium Campaign Funds," a mo-tion put forth by McKenzie and Mis sTelford, met with the approval of th eCouncil .

Concerning the resignation of Ron-ald Grantham, Editor-in-Chief of thePublications Board, it was decided bya motion moved by Grimmett, second-ed by Campbell, "that the resignationbe accepted . "

It was decided that the resigna-tions of the Senior Editors of theUbyssey and that of the Businessmanager of the Publications Board benot accepted and that the resignationof J . N. Turvey be returned as out oforder. These members were requestedto reconsider their resignations .

In conclusion, it was moved b yMiss Muirhead, seconded by Grim-mett, that Mr. Himie Koshevoy be ap-pointed Editor-in-Chief for the re-mainder of the session of 1930-31 .

The date of applications for theFederation Scholars under the N .F.C . -U .S . exchange system has been ex -tended to March 6th, 1931 . Pleasehand in applications to the Junio rMember on or before this date .

The object of the Scheme is to per-mit specially selected students to takea year's work at another universityin a different part of Canada; inmany cases it may permit specializedstudy otherwise impossible, and inmost cases it will permit a studentto see a part of Canada which other -wise might not be possible . Almostwithout exception the saving in tui-tion fees will be sufficient to pay thetransportation charges of the studen tfrom his "home" university to th euniversity to be visited .

Any bona fide student, male or fe-male, who is applying for study at auniversity in another Division in th ethird year of his course, or any yearbeyond the same, provided that he i sreturning the following year to hi shome university is eligible. Severaluniversities will permit students toattend under the Scheme for graduat ework, irrespective of whether or notthey are returning to their "home"university for another year's wor kbut special application should be madeto this office in respect to any appli-cations of this nature received.

Each university may select for at-tendance under the Exchange a num-ber of students not exceeding one pe rcent . (1 ,/r,) of the total student body .The successful candidates are to beknown as "FEDERATION SCHOL-ARS." The word "exchange" in con-nection with the Scheme is in realitya misnomer, as there is not involved ,necessarily, an "exchange," in thetrue sense of the word, between theuniversities concerned ,

ASTUDENT tour of Europe willagain he made this summer, ar-ranged and directed by the uni-

versities of Canada, through the N .F. C. U. S. in conjunctiop with th eCanadian Pacific .

In a letter to the Registrar, Mr . A.Gordon Burns, Travel Secretary ,says, "As you see, we have receivedthe patronage of leading Universitystudents who, when visiting Europe ,are the personal guests of the Uni-versity students and University au-thorities in all cities and towns wher ethere is a University situated . Thismeans that in such places as Glasgow ,Edinburgh, Oxford, London, Holland ,Brussels, and Paris, an intimate per-sonal contact is made with the stu-dents of those centres, and this is a nopportunity which I believe no othe rtour in existence enjoys to the samedegree . "

A detailed itinerary and generalinformation about the Tour may beobtained from the Registrar .

EXEMPTION OF TUITION FE EEQUALS COST OF JOURNE Y

<< 'VE BEEN wondering eversince," admitted Alan Campbell ,when asked why he had been

chosen for exchange student to Mc-Gill last year. When questioned fur-ther however, on the subject of th equalities in an exchange student, h epointed out that above all, academicstanding is important. A thoroughknowledge of student life on one's owncampus, and a keen interest in al lforms of student activity is quite es-sential to the nature of the task astudent on exchange is expected t operform. A specialized interest or a noutstanding achievment in any on efield, though doubtless very useful, isnot altogether necessary, for it shouldbe the aim of the student to acquir ein one year an all round knowledge ofthe University he or she is visiting ,and to get into touch and become ac-quainted with all its various aspectsand activities .

Campbell stated that he considere dhimself quite fortunate in having ha dthe opportunity to attend anothe rUniversity during his undergraduat edays. "It is an opportunity that nostudent to whom it is presented shoul dhastily decline. I should like to em-phasize this point, he continued, an durge students to avail themselves ofthe opportunity." Contact with stu-dents of another college, with a dif-ferent environment and atmospher eis tremendously broadening and stim-ulating, he declared . Campbell sai dhe had found McGill quite conser-vative and reserved, conscious of it straditions, and of the historical back-ground of Quebec . Interests are per-haps more intellectual than at U . B.C . and there is more culture and cos-mopolitanism.

The Exchange scheme, or mor eaccurately, the Federated Scholar-ship Scheme, is comparatively new ,having been instituted only last year .It is open to Undergraduates of an yfaculty proceeding to their third year .Under it up to one per cent of th estudent body may be admitted on ap-plication to other universities of Can-ada .

The students exchanged are ex-empt from any fees and this offset stransportation costs . Further per-ticulars may be obtained from Fre dGrimmett, Junior member, or fromAlan Campbell . Applications must bein the hands of Fred Grimmett be -fore March 31st .

This, the Arts '34 Class Party, pro-vided many novelties . But first let m etell of the sartorial effects . Every ex-isting type of gent's suitings was dis-played. In fact everything that theSocial Lion and Lioness, will wear,are wearing, and should not wear, ata Social Function .

At various times during the evenin gone noticed couples swaying uneasilyto and fro over the slippery floor.There seemed to be a slight differenc eof opinion as to who was supposed t obe leading, and why . I wonder wh othese people could have been ?

An added feature to the progra mwas afforded when a charming younglady "crooned," and told, in so man ywords, that she was going crazy . Butshe could sing, and how .

Toward the tenth dance the rev-ellers began to stir in their slumbers .The last note of the Supper Waltzhad barely died—with a groan—whe nthe stampede got under way . Thetables in the banquet hall groane dwith food, steaming Java was bein gsplashed about, sandwiches were be-ing passed hither and yon, when ahowl broke the stillness of the room .There was a mad rush and the usualbattle was on . However, the ic ecream gave out before there was tim eto kill anybody. After this the dis-appointed throng went upstairs to re -new the revel .

But the dreaded hour drew nigh ,and anon forsooth the music ceased ;and the evolutions of the waltzer swere quieted . But not for long. Sum-moning the wild courage of dispair ,the multitude rushed to get its coats ,as one man. It was a voluptuou sscene, and it was amazing—the utte rabandon with which the gentlemenhandled one another .

Miss Reid was admirably suited toher role . Her voice, professionall ytrained in Toronto, was of a quali tseldom heard on a University of B .C .stage. Her portrayal of the role ofMabel was sufficient, of itself, to jus-tify the entire opera. Her singingshowed to particularly good advant-age in the numbers "Poor Wanderin gOne" and "Yes, I Am Brave! "

The swaggering but very gullibleand naive Pirate King was effectivel yplayed by Ian Douglas . His singinghas become well known to studentsthrough the noon-hour recitals andin addition to leading the chorusesand rendering solos . He gave a veryadequate portrayal of the pirateleader.

Next to Katherine Reid, Sophi eWitter was probably the most pleas-ing of the women characters. She wasthe winsome Ruth who nearly en-trapped the unlearned Frederic intomarriage in spite of her 47 years an dplainness of face.

The opera was under the directio nof C. Hadyn Williams and . EdgarSmith who trained the cast and super-vised the staging . With Dr. W. L. Mc -Donald, honorary president of the Mu-sical Society, they are largely respon-sible for the success of the 15th annua lperformance.

In an incompleted track meet Wednesday, Arts cindermenout-galloped all other opposition to carry off the laurels . The final

cO

Having won their way through all the difficulties of a strenuou sschedule the Varsity met an unexpected obstacle when the Vancou-ver and District Basketball Moguls suddenly changed their mindabout the location of the play-off games . The agreement at th ebeginning of the season was that the team winning the leagu eprevious to the play-off should have three of the five of the decid-ing games on their home ground. In spite of this understandin gthe Vancouver and District Basketbal lofficials have announced that only onegame will take place at the U . B. C .Qym.

As a protest against this procedurethe students have refused to take partin the play-off on this basis . The off' .aisle have replied by awarding thefirst game to the Adanacs by default .According to information received theAdanacs have refused to accept thisadvantage. Thus the matter remainsat a deadlock while the UniversityBasketball officials are composing ap-p~als to the Vancouver and Distric tBasketball Association. If these arenot granted the Basketball Official sstate that they are fully prepared toapply to the B . C. and if necessary tothe Dominion organizations .

BY SENIORS International competition in ic ehockey may become a regular featureof University sport if plans now beingformed materialize, Final arrange-ments for a two-game series with theUniversity of Washington in the im-mediate future have been completedand it is expected that in coming yearsthe schedule will include gamesthroughout the season . Nine men wil ltravel to Seattle on March 4th to rep -resent U. B. C, while the southernerswill be here on the 9th to demonstratetheir ability to local fans .

Hockey Club officials are sparingno efforts to have the best team thatever came out of Varsity lined up toshow the Yankees that Canadians arenot lacking in a knowledge of thei rown national game . With this end inview practices have been held on ever ypossible occasion .

The regular team has been showin gvast improvement of late and as thereis no age limit for inter-collegiat egames, Club officials are urging every-one in the University who can playhockey to turn out for the practicesso that no possible talent may be over -looked when the selection committeemakes its final choice. In this way itis hoped to send a stronger aggrega-tion to Seattle than has yet rep-resented Varsity this season .

Reports from across the line in-dicate that keen interest is being ex-hibited in the projected games wit hU. B . C. Therefore the local boys ma ybe assured that they will meet with

The rest of the meet, which hadbeen scheduled to take place thi sWednesday, March 4th, has been post-poned until March 11th, one weeklater. Instead of the meet, a prac-tice has been arranged at which Doc -tor Bricker will be present to coachall those interested in the hurdles andthe pole vault.

The letter follows :Mr. Charles Jones ,1181 West 18th Ave., Vancouver, B.C .Dar Mr . Jones :Re U.B.C. Senior "A" Basketbal l

The Men's Athletic Association Executiveof the University of British Columbia feel i tImpossible to countenance the Men's Basketbal lClub entering a Senior "A" Team in the Van -newer and District Basketball League FinalPlay-offs under the arrangements as decidedb the League Executive Thursday evening .Fibruary 28th, wherein the first game is to b egraved on Varsity's home floor on Saturday,Feb. 28th : the second game on the home floo rof the Adanace ; and the remaining games a tthe V .A.C. OOur reasons for this decision are as follows :

It was definitely agreed before the startO. the league that the team which won th elei ate should have the first game of the finale .and every alternate game of the playoffs ontheir home floor .

2. This agreement was confined to the recen tAdanac-Crusader Series where the team o fhigher standing received the advantage of th eextra game on their home floor .

3. From an athletic standpoint the tea mhas won a league in which it has played eac hteam three times, and under the propose dplayoff schedule they have received no advant-age whatsoever. We feel that we are at leastentitled to the advantage of having the extr agame on our home floor. The present schem ecalls for us to give up two home games whil ethe Adanacs only give up one from the orig-inal a greement. Further, we jeopardize ou rchances of winning the play-offs which woul dput us in a favorable position for the Wester nCanadian Championship and possibly the Can-adian Championship .

Although we were aware that should an yother team have won 'the league we woul dhave been forced to play the first, and ever yalternate game on their home floor, we warewilling to compromise by giving up one hom egame provided that the Adanacs did likewisein order that some games might have beenstaged at V.A .C . This proposal was refused.

e . From a financial standpoint it is im -seible for the Men's Athletic Association toLeak faith with the Student Body and permi t

a tam to participate in the deciding gamesof the playoffs staged at V .A .C . which by ourcs tudentsn are epaying off theam

Upus ;Gym-nasium Bonds.

Under the present arrangement the onl ygame given to us is the least attractive. Fur-thermore, we have not been given an oppor-tunity to adequately advertise or carry on an yadvance seat sale owing to the fact that th edate was not decided until the night of the 26t hdespite the fact that we have made numerou sattempts to have the league executive rende ra decision on this matter .

5 . Finally, the League Executive refuse topermit us to send a delegate to this meetin gof the 26th, as we had no re presentation onthe executive, who might put the above circum-stances before the meeting .

We feel certain that if these circumstance shad been presented for the careful considera-tion of the Executive a fairer decision migh thave been reached .

Yours very truly,H. L . THORNE,President, Basketball Clu bA . E. HENDERSON ,Captain, Senior "A" Teem ,CHARLES D. SCHULTZ ,President, Men's Athletics .

The Badminton team has playedtwo league matches this week, winningfrom Quilchena 10-6 Tuesday nigh tand losing to North Vancouver 9 . 7Thursday night .

Quilchena Club put up a hard fight ,but Varsity, in spite of the absenc eof two first team members, manage dto total their league score up to 10 .

North Vancouver sent a team o fA calibre to meet the collegians atPoint Grey, which resulted in most o fthe sets going to three games . Attimes the badminton degenerated in -to mere slamming back and forth ofthe shuttle, but Varsity was not abl eto hold its own even at this . Ken At-kinson and Bunny Pound showed ex-cellent co-operation to win the onl ymixed doubles of the evening. Sollyand Atkinson, and Campbell andHolmes were successful in both men' sdoubles .

Education lads and lassies trottedoff down town to a show Friday after -noon after Tommy Sanderson had le da hacking fighting bunch of clas smates to a 2-1 win over Arts '34 an dalso the championship of Arts sec-tion in the inter-class soccer league.

Not only were the actual playerspresent but also the whole pedagogu eclass in a body, while the Arts '3 1team was also on the side lines ex-horting the Frosh to do right by them .

Education got away to a nice star twhen Dave Todd in the first year goa lpolitely handled outside the penaltyarea and Tommy himself Sanderso nplunked the free kick into a sparecorner of the net .

A few minutes later Maurice PercyDesBrisay brought the Educationladies to tears of joy when he pickedup a rebound and accidently placed i tin the self same net.

'34 had all the play in the secon dspasm but Sanderson was a veritabl ehost at full back. The yearlings finall ycounted when Chalmers messed up ashot and Smith drove the loose ballin .

From then on it was touch and gowith the freshmen doing the goingand Kelly doing most of the touching.The teachers had held on howeverwith the aid of the adjacent allotmentand are now awaiting the winner o fthe Science league.

Outstanding for Education wasSanderson while Kelly's feet provide dthrills, Dave Todd played as no goali eever has before for the Frosh whil etheir real star was Laurie Todd .

Leadership in the Arts section o fthe inter-class soccer league changedMonday noon when George Grant le da fighting band of Arts '81 men tovictory over Arts '32 by a single goa land the lead in the race by a singl epoint over Education.

The tilt produced some of the bestsoccer seen on the campus this year ,the work of Harford, Grant and Dick -son on the field and Maurice P . Des -Brisay on the side lines being out -standing .

The seniors started going place searly but did not do things until thesecond canto. Refree McGregor earne dthe ire of the Grantmen in the firstexchanges when he disallowed a scoreby Jestley for offside after consultinghis linesmen. This was very regret -table but still, rules are rules, and a ssuch must be enforced .

After this the juniors strove val-iantly to equalize, Ev. King even go-ing so far as to assist the referee b yvocal exhortations .

Now that excitement of last week'sMcKechnie Cup thriller has died downthe Varsity English Ruggers swin gback into sordid league routine thisafternoon when they engage the roughand tumble Ex-Magee outfit at Brock-ton Point .

It is a very sad thing to admit butat the present the students occupythe bottom rung in the Tisdall Cuprace. The oval enthusiasts have drop-ped three straight games and all bya single try generally scored late i nthe last half . This is not what on emight call luck but having broken in -to scoring form last week the jinxmay have passed and in this cas eEx-Magee should on rugby form tak ea very severe jolt on their respectivechins .

Although no chance of winning th esilverware remains, a few wins a tthis stage will at least take the collegefifteen to a respectable position in thetable, and thus the scrummers wil lspare no efforts to trample underfoottheir less experienced opponents .

Varsity's McKechnie Cup aspirations were squelched by Van-couver Rep . Saturday, in one of the most brilliant games played onthe historic Oval .

Only those who saw the game can fully realize what a figh tthe Blue and Gold put up against odds. Their opponents were re-cognized as the most powerful squad in the province but the stu-dents stepped out and fought them tooth and nail every inch of th eway only to lose by one of those heartbreaking freaks of the fates ,—a last minute score .

It was a heartbreaking game to lose and brought honors to th evanquished . Bert Barratt, playing his last McKechnie Cup til tperformed wonders for his side but all to no avail, although th ecollege fifteen had the best of the play throughout .

The University can well be proud of this rugby team if i tnever wins another game, it has stamped itself as a great side ,glorious in defeat .

In the meantime the second edition ruggers were carryin gall before them, wiping the green sward of lower Brockton wit ha self-eulogistic collection of youths known as Ex-King Georges ,and thus cinching the championship of the Senior 'B' division .

This team, McUlmoyle's Super-Varsity, has piled up a wonder-ful record. It has won 19 points of a possible 20, and scored 11 9points against 16, and yet it objects to being called "Marvels . "

We must hand the well-known palm to McUlmoyle for his wor kwith the team. He has piloted his lads through stiff opposition tcacknowledged superiority in their class. Aided and abetted byRonnie Burns he has watched over his players throughout the In what is described by member" ofweeks as well as Saturday afternoons and has even compromised the teams as a "messy game," the we specialize ill Made-to-ostle rover the Friday dance nuisance .
