Charges of unconstitutional action were raised by the editorial board of The Daily Ubyssey following the news ban. "Council has no legal justification for declaring their meeting closed," they protested. The code of the AMS states that any student may attend the Monday night meetings of the Council. "It is only through the news re- porting of The Daily Ubyssey that the student body can keep some check on the actions of their student council," they complained. The motion demanding that no coverage other than the actual motion be printed was proposed by Grant Livingstone, president of the AMS.

WUS will donate all proceeds from the annual Fall Fashion Show, and IFC will give all profits from the Mardi Gras. IFC's annual Mardi Gras will be held at the end of the third week of January. Last year $3894 from this affair was turned over to the women's auxiliary of Shaughnessy Hospital. The Fashion Show will be October 22 in Brock Hall. Last year's pro- ceeds went to the Gym fund. IFC voted unanimously at their noon meeting Tuesday to support the Community Chest, and WUS prom- ised their support Saturday. In view of the support being shown, no general Community Chest Drive will be held on the campus this year.

And, as an added inducement, freshman deadline has been extended to next week. This, explains Stainsby, means that freshmen will be able to get their pictures taken next week, but will have to be squeezed in among upper year Artsrnen. Starting next week the Totem photographer will be taking por- traits of upper year Arts, including Home Economics, Commerce and Physical Education, Freshmen pictures will also be taken during this period. But, warns Stainsby, if the rush is great then second and higher years will get the priority over Fresh, Gowns and hoods will be supplied for the students in their graduating years. Women will be provided with "mortarboards" for pictures. Graduates may, if they wish, see proofs of their pictures. and decide which one they want to appear in the Totem. There will be an extra fee of 50 cents for proof service. Portraits are $1.50 for two sittings, the better of which will appear in the Totem. A 4x6 mounted portrait will be delivered to the campus. Failures Marked History Of Blood Dr. L. E. Ranta, professor in the Department of Bacteriol- ogy and Preventive Medicine, has a little story he likes to regale students with at the be- ginning of their course on blood types. It seems that in 1942 Pope Innocent VII was on the verge of death and the court physician decided that a blood transfusion would bring him back to health. So this daring predecessor of modern science proceeded to give the Pope the first known blood trans- fusion, using the blood of two young boys. Unfortunately the transfusion was a failure, which probably set science hack two or three hundred years. The Pope died, the boys died, and the eminent physician has not been heard from since. TIME PASSES It was not until 1901, when Land- stiner discovered the three main types of blood that this science managed to recover from its near fatal blow. Fortunately it is not necessary for the blood of the donor to match the blood of the recipient exactly. It is 'important, however, that the blood should match in several re- spects, and to ensure this, extensive laboratory tests are carried out with both donors and recipient's blood immediately prior to every trans- fusion. RH FACTOR All blood donors receive a card after registration complete with de- tails as to blood grouping and noting volunteers with the RH negative factor. Dr. Ranta stated that the RH factor bugaboo is not as serious as magazine writers would have us believe, be- cause the factor is extremely rare. In most cases infants who have the .-Anfticting RH negative and RH positive elements present can be saved by practically replacing their blood with a transfusion directly after birth, he added.

The Daily Ubyssey SIGNBOARD LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

• Editorial opinions expressed hereinthose

The University is to be thrown into thepublic spotlight in a new field in the nearfuture. We refer to the November perform-ance of the "Airborne Symphony" in whichUBC has a very active interest.

On November 30, as a program in theregular concert series of the VancouverSymphony Orchestra. Mr. Jaques Singer willconduct Marc Blitzstein's composition in itsCanadian premiere. In planning the perform-ance of this great modern work. Mr. Singerhas provided the University with the un-precedented opportunity of furnishing thissymphony's most vital part—the chorus.

It is not hard to understand why Mr.Singer's proposal has been greeted with suchenthusiastic response. for it is an opportunitythat the University as a whole can makegood use of in more than one way.

The fact that the chorus is so very im-portant to the production of the work putsthe students in a very fine light. It indicatesto the general public that UBC students areonce again doing something big, a work ofart of which university students are definitelycapable.

This will be one very fine chance for ourstudents to express their thanks to the Van-

couver Symphony who have undertaken tosponsor our own concerts to the exte;t of$5.000 or approximately half of their cost.The enthusiasm and work of the chorusshould help to show the appreciation of thestudent body.

This underwriting by an outside sponsoris undoubtedly a step in the right direction.It is to be hoped that the day will come whenall our concerts will be completely sponsored.And if that day isn't in the very near future,it won't be the fault of the hard workingpresident of the LSE, Jerry MacDonald,

Besides all the advantages that the restof us can see in this concert, those actuallytaking part will have the opportunity ofgetting some excellent training and a greatdeal of fun out of the whole production. Itshould most certainly be an experience ofgreat value in their future.

It is very much in order to thank Mr.Singer for this fine opportunity that he haspresented to the University. Our studentsappreciate this chance to put UBC in thespotlight again.

Our University is once more becoming acentre of culture rather than a trade school.

III feeling arousedDear Sir:

Your editorial in the Tuesday Ubys-sey has aroused me to write my first'letter . to the editor" in five yearsat this University. Maybe this is yourintention, but it appears to me thatthe tone of your editorials is morecalculated to arouse 'interfaculty ill-feeling than to promote an interestin student government.

Students have a right and a dutyto keep a careful watch on the spend-ing of their money. That student vig-ilance is necessary is proved by thedeficit of last year and the unequaldistribution of faculty funds whichhas passed unnoticed for the last de-cade.

We shall criticize the budget when-ever we feel it is not satisfactory. Iwould request that the Ubyssey pub-lish the budget before the AMS meet-ing next year so that we shall beable to examine it more closely.

Let that stand, by fearsome little forget-me-nots, as an example of the vile basenessof editorial man and the sublime uncertaintyof human affairs. So we bury Jabez on Tues-day, and he climbs out of the grave andappears grinning in print on Wednesday.Dead, you might say, but won't lie down.Has to be sitting up to do it.

Nevertheless, no one can make a suckerout of your uncle, pardner, and not have amonument to show for it. So the Jabez Mem-orial Fund roars on; but with, as the editorialwriters say, a renewed determination and aheightened purpose. Whatever that means.But if the ghost of the late Prince of Whimsygets any more disruptive assistance from acertain Wednesday editor, to transform himinto a prankish printshop poltergeist andlouse up this noble idea, why, they'll be twonew memoh'yalls instedda one, partner.

The nerve of those guys.Little Miss Lyle, , who presides

at the AMS office in the jewel capacity ofpostmistress for campus affairs (moderatelyrisque title, that one) and czarina of inform-ation, informs us that it has stopped snowingletters .Last week we hoped that at least tenof you would write and say "count me in"on the proposed Jabez Memorial.. Twenty-seven of you responded; and for those criesof encouragement, thank you. Some of youeven enclosed money in your letters, thoughwe didn't ask you for it. But, by Jabez (watchthat, Mr. Proofreader) we bless you for it.

DEMOCRATIC DONATIONSThere was a nice democratic nature

about those donations. Penurious studentsand the fabulously wealthy were both repre-sented and no one sent less than a nickel.One correspondent, swinging right into thespirit of the thing, enclosed a brand new jitwith the slogan: "A Nickel for A Nicol" andended up with a cheery: "See you St. Val-entine's day." Nothing surer, sir; nothingsurer,

Magnificently unperturbed by the bur-eaucrats' torpedoing of the Sciencemen's En-tertainment Budget, and reckless of their ownpersonal reserves, three stout Redshirts pen.cited us a note marked "Long Live Jabez!and lashed out with six—Cbunt them—sixdimes. (Note to Artsmen: So far it's Science-men, two to one, boys, in this tribute to afallen Artsangel.)

And a nice note from someone who mustbe rich as Croesus, but not in money alone.Sounds a little like an Old Grad, or some ofyour parents, kiddies. At any rate, the nob,:. issigned "Anonymous"; and attached to it is

real, true, no-question-about-it folding money.It reads:

"Some of the Moms and Pops laugh-ed, too; so please put this towards theplaque fund for the JABEZ memorial.We think he is a wonderful writer andwe shall miss the MUMMERY , "

Thank you for those words, Mom andPop, whoever you are, and wherever you are.We have a feeling, looking at your note, thatyou've had a good many laughter-filled mo-ments in your lives, and approve our memor-ial to laughter.A READER'S SUPPORT

Another reader writes to promise hersupport, and makes the suggestion that theproposed memorial take the form of a sundial,bearing the following inscription:

"Horas non numero nisi serenas"(I count only the sunny hours.)That's a beautiful thought, madam. Look

well on the Library lawn. The object of allthis sickening adulation really has a revers,sundial effect, though, in the sense that heturned the shadows into sunshine. But weknow what you mean, and we'll keep it inmind.

All of which brings us to a final point,kiddies. This is probably the most relaxed,most un-organized, loosest, easiest, non-profit-est, non-ssssboom-rah collection ever heldon this campus. It has, and will have, noliaison committee, no rads committee, noways and.means committee, no publicity com-mittee, no pep-meets, no fireworks displays,uo bands, no dancing girls, no parades, vocal-ists, orchestras or kisses-for-sale booths (y'allget kissed too much, anyhow) and positively,no speeches. It has one paid organizer (that'sus) who gets four cents (4c) per, month tokeep him in toothpicks, for ruminating onand getting new ideas with. There's so littleDrive in this thing, that it's just not a Drive,but a Creep. This is strictly an old-shoe,gallus-and-suspender ,grass-roots movement,and we're going to keep it that way. We'vebeen told that we should put twenty morecylinders under it and some fancy oil in it,and go after you scientifically, but we don'tsee it that way. Hell, it's a memorial tolaughter we're after, not a Successful Drive,What's more, we think you agree.

Well, so long. We're going to scroungearound to borrow a chair and a tin can, andmake plans to be sitting around when youcome out of the next DVA lineup. And re-member, now— a nickel or a dime only .

We're getting the tin with the small-sizedhole. It won't take a quarter, so you can'tthrow your weight around. Be seeing you.

Homes For 79At UBC 'Town'

By GEORGE

The Reader's Digest Association, ofPleasantville, New York, has just fired whatI suspect to be its closing shot in my direction

to conclude a private war of seven months

between the Digest and me.

For seven months the Digest has beenbombarding me with coy notes cajoling meinto continuing my subscriptions or taking

advantage of a special Christmas offer orinto sending ,with my compliments, fourteen

free issues of the Digest to fourteen chosenfriends.

As a matter of fact, apart from an oc-

casional half-hour glance through the Digest

at my favorite newsstand, the first actualcontact I had with the magazine occurred

when some friend mistook me for someone

who could read and put me on his list offourteen.

AMAZING NEW OFFERThat started it. No sooner had the first

free issue arrived than I was assailed withseveral communications signed by a CarolynDavis of the Reader's Digest Association, ad-vising me to start taking the Digest regu-larly under an amazing new offer.

The offer, if I remember, enabled me toobtain seven issues of the Digest for onlyone dollar--an offer, the homey little lettersaid, unparalleled in publishing history.

Whether it was the summer heat or thesound of crisp, new dollar bills cracklingin my pocket, I'm not sure. All I do knowis that I had dutifully dispatched the sum ofone dollar to the Reader's Digest Association.Pleasantville, New York, to take advantageof the new, amazing offer, unparalleled inpublishing history.

UNPARALLELED OFFERSIn return I received not only the first

of the seven issues but a handy 256-pagebook entitled, "How to Get the Most out ofLife," both of which are now resting com-fortably in the attic, comparatively unread.

Autumn and winter came and went, andwith them came and went the other six issuesof the Digest, accompanied by various offersunparalleled in publishing history. March,however, brought an unexpected and unpaid-for eighth issue of the Digest, which wentstraight to the attic, in case the Reader'sDigest Association should try to prove I had

ROBERTSON

robbed them of twenty-five cents worth ofthe best reading in the country.

PAY LATERThe explanation has just arrived, how-

ever, and lies before me on the desk pro-claiming its message in bold, blood-red type:"Renew your Digest now .. and Pay Later!"Conjuring up visions of FBI agents lashingme to the kitchen stove and preparing to tearopen my flesh with a lash while others searchunder the bed and behind the wardrobe forhidden dollar bills, I read on to the secondparagraph, which took a somewhat moresmug tone.

"We hope the complimentary MARCHcopy that we are sending to you FREE comesas a pleasant surprise. Many publishersstop mailing copies as soon as a subcriptionexpires."

WE'RE BETTER

No word of apologetic modesty, no em-barrassed cough, no lowering of the eye-brows. Just the plain, bald statement offact—"we aren't one of the run-of-the-millpublishers. (We're a little better than mostpublishers.") (The second paragraph is evenmore condescending:)

"FEBRUARY was the last issue due onyour subscription. We are mailing this extranumber in the belief that you meant to sendin your renewal and then—quite humanly—forgot."

Well, Digest—we all admit to our short-comings but there's no need to rub it in, youknow. (We can get along quite well withoutyour reminding us of them.)

LATEST OFFERS

The latest amazing'new offer unparallel-ed in publishing history, it appears, willenable me to send only five dollars to obtain—no, not 24-25 issues of the digest, at atotal saving of $1.25. But I'm not going to befooled this time, I'm not going to place my-self and the neighbourhood postman at themercies of the Digest again, even if it doescost me $1.25. It will be worth it just toknow that I need never again tremble as Iopen each letter, hoping that it might be abill or something, but please, not frtm theReader's Digest Association, Pleasantville,New York,

Meanwhile, when I want to glance overthe best reading in the country, there's al-ways my favorite newstand.

Digest's Neat, Lucid ProseLoses In Private War

An answer to the housingproblem of 79 Vancouver fam-ilies is rising out of the bush afew minutes walk from theUBC campus.

But the Modern UniversityVillage, a half-million dollarproject near Acadia camp, socalled because it's modern andnear the university, probablywon't mean a great deal 4ohouse hungry students.

"We just thought it sounded likea good name", smiled youngish, quietE. Simpson, who with C. B. Balfouris undertaking this project just offthe Boulevard at Acadia Road,

However the project is certainly"modern", particularly in its pro-portions. "It occupies an area ofabout two city blocks, and will costaproximately half a million dollars"said Mr. Simpson.

GOING AHEADConstruction is well under way, andalready the appearance which thefinished project will present can bevisualized.

The eleven twoistorynow in various stages of construct-ion, are laid out in three rows. Be-tween each row a constructor'sbattlefield of piled earth and deepditches makes progress difficult.

Eventually, however, the village"streets" will run between the rows,complete with sidealks and boule-vards.

When completed, the project willprovide a total of 79 suites, each con-sisting of two bedroms, dining room,living room, kitchen and bathroom.Modern kitchen facilities will be in-

stalled, if the supply situation per-mits, said Mr, Simpson.

He refused to commit himself onthe question of rentals. However, heindicated preference would be givento veterans,

SUPPLY SITUATIONIt is hoped that the project will be

completed by the end of the year,although much depends on the sup - •ply situation, Mr. Simpson said. Twoof the buildings will be ready foroccupation in a few weeks, if waterand light can be laid on.

Mr. Simpson, personally directs thesmall army of carpenters, plasterers,plumbers and other workers on thesite.

Clarke PostponesHi-Jinx" Party

Hi-Jinx, originally scheduled forthe week before the fashion showhas been postponed to a later date.

According to Nora Clarke, the twofunctions would have been too closetogether to get an enthusiastic re-sponse.

The date for the annual hen partyhas not been decided but will besome time after the fashion show.

UBC's long-standing golf record went by the boards Sat-urday when unpredictable Bob Esplen surprised the expertswith a three-under-par 68.

The Men's Athletic Directorate has a mighty big voice incampus affairs and so the Ubyssey chooses to honor—or dis-honor—take your choice— the MAD with a thumb-nail sketchon each of its members and thus give you dear reader a littledope on what the MAD men did before they landed wherethey landed, wherever that is—if you follow me.

The MAD has 14 positions—two of which are in absentia--that is, not filled at present—The Chairman and Treasurer arcelected by the MAA. Sports Editor and P.E. Director areautomatic members—the others are appointed.

They meet at least once a week and do a tremendousamount of work in the field of athletics. They may be MADpersonalities but they are not mad personalities—on the con-trary, they are normal, hard working individuals with thecommon interest of seeing their Alma Mater unsurpassed byany on the continent and are fully deserving of any publicitythey receive.

The only other man in the field tobeat par was Point Grey's DougBajus. The six foot, four inch powerman had a good chance to catchEsplen but weakened in the homestretch to card a smooth 70—one underOr.

Bajus, an extremely steady and ex-perienced competitive golfer, has thebenefit of a good draw and will•certainly be a finalist if he can getby Bob Plommer, the defendingchampion.

Golf Club president, Dick Hanley,was third in the scoring with a 75—one stroke ahead of Plommer, whoposted a 76. Others to come out onthe right side of 80 were Russ Latham,78; Ormie Hall, 78; Dave Dale, 79.

Eight other divoters with scoresranging to 83 complete the champion-ship flight and the first round losersin that section will go automaticallyinto the first flight,

The 57 remaining competitors areranged in four further flights which—with the exception of the fourth—will be played on handicap.

Six days are allowed for each roundof matches. Finals will be played thelast week in October and the bigprize-giving on November fourth. Allstudent information is posted on thequad notice board.

Varsity Bops UBCAs Bullen Flashy

Varsity defeated UBC 3-1 in a pre-season grass hockey game on Satur-day.

Both teams swung into an amaz-ingly fast pace for so early in theseason and the shots on goal werehard and accurate.

Brilliant but grueling play was theorder of the day. Veteran Les Bul-len drove in the first goal for theV-men to culminate a field-lengthpassing attack in the first half.

In the same period Dick Gossshoved through to make it 3-0 UBCopened up then but their infield pas-sing attack was continually smashedby smart defensive work on the partof the Varsity fullback.

In the second canto, Gus Decoqueslashed in UBC's first goal to spoilgoalie Nick Herrick's chances for a

shutout. However, Varsity came backagain to cinch the game when LesBullen drummed in the final goal ofthe game.

This year promises to be a greatone .for grass hockey with the en-trance from the university of a thirdteam. League play will expand totwo divisions of four teams in each.Next Saturday the full schedule ofgames will get under way.

The new bleachers on the east sideof the stadium forced the MAD tocrawl out on the shaky limb of highfinance.

The bleachers described by DaveComparelli as weather-proof, draft-proof, and extremely comfortable (noproof), were built at a cost of $8600.Owed by the MAD to the AMS, theoutstanding $8000. will be amortizedat the rate of $2000. per year, to bepaid at the beginning of each yearon the current year's budget.

Any surplus coin In the MAD cof-fers at the end of the year will beturned into the AMS general fundused for improvement of Athleticequipment.

These girls have given freely oftheir time to practice twirling andthrowing their gleaming silver bat-ons in the air (as well as some othernoteworthy motions). They have ap-peared at pep-meets, gym-fund ral-lies, and at numerous games for thepleasure of the students.

Now it appears that their efforts maygo unheeded and unrewarded by thestudent body.

TRANSPORTATIONNow then, what we need is trans-

portation to and from Bellingham onSaturday, October 11, for seven lovelymajorettes; their trainer, a man; anda chaperone. There are nine peopleall together (for the benefit of thoseof you still in Math 100).

Surely, men, from a university ofover 9000 there will be found suffi-cient red-blooded Canadian boys—todrive them down to Bellingham.

FREE GASThe AMS is so willing that the

girls go down with the team thatthey will pay for the gas used in thetrip by the obliging drivers.

Just think of it, a free return tripto Bellingham, Washington, for mere-ly taking an extra passenger, a girlor so, along with you. A hardship,maybe?

MISS NO LECTURESStudents going to the game will

miss no lectures because it is a nightgame. There will be no great sacri-fice on the part of anyone makingthe 50 mile jaunt, and you mightjust be lucky enough to view a UBCgrid victory.

Now if you are willing to take oneor two of the girls in your car, justdrop into the Mamook office in thesouth basement of the Brock Halland leave them your name and ad-dress.

Don't forget to tell them why youare leaving it though. Silly just tohand them your name and addressand walk out.

DO IT NOWLet's go students! If you have a

free car, speak up; if you know ofsomeone who has, brow-beat himinto driving down.

We must give our team support.They fight a tough battle out thereon the field for your amusement.Wibhout a yell from a fellow studentevery now and then, to let themknow we're still behind, them, it canget pretty discouraging.

If you can, volunteer your car andyour services at the Mamook officenow, today.

VOC MakesFall ClimbSaturday

A strenuous weekend is in store for150 members and prospective mem-bers of the Varsity Outdoor Club.They plan to spend their Thanks-giving holiday scaling the peak ofMt. Brunswick, which towers abovethe waters of Howe Sound.

This year's fall climb takes the clubback to the territory in which lastyear's successful struggle to the peakof the West Lion was staged, forBrunswick is the second peak northof the well-knon twins.

The pack-laden mob will disem-bark at Porteau on Saturday after-noon will find the camp already laidout by an advance party of old mem-bers, who will go in Friday night.They will be scared off to an earlybed by dire tales of the trials of theday to come, and will be glad theywere when they are routed out inthe dark before Sunday dawns. Thecamp will probably be again in dark-ness when they return, for Mt.Brunswick is not what one wouldcall a Sunday stroll by Porteau.If VOC tradition is adhered to, thetired climbers will stage an impromp-tu party in the evening, despite theiraching feet.

A chartered boat will return themountaineers to Vancouver on Mon-day.

Those intending to make the climb;- re reminded that the last day forsigning up is Thursday. A list ofnecessary equipment will be foundon the Quad notice boord.

Ivor Wynn were all with theMeralomas.

Rann Matthison and Brud Mathesonplayed for New Westminster Adanacs.Three members df the professionalHornets will be out with the Grads,Reg. Clarkson, Ritchie Nicol andGordie Sykes. Ron Weber and HarryFranklin of last years Birds are themost recent addition to the Grads.

The Thunderbirds have come outon top in the past except for theperiod from 1938 to '40 when theGrads showed decided supremacy.The Birds took last years torridclassic by a single basket, but thisyear coach Henderson says "We'llbe out to win."

He added that most of the Gradshave been working out with theirrespective teams, but will get togetherfor a few team practices and will bein top shape when the big fracasrolls around.
