U of S Attacks Debaters;Cup Charges Unfounded

Claims by student officials at the University of Saskatche-

Pre-Meds faun c

Med School Drive

Over five hundred members of the Pre-medical Under •

graduate Society—who met Wednesday to support the drivefor a medical faculty at the University of B .C.—were told flatlyby their vice-president, Pat Fowler, that "if we fail now, th eschool is not likely to be established for 10 years . "

Fowler and PUS President Bo b

Wilson put forth a three-point finan-cial program, which was essential to

the establishment of an efficiently -run medical school and hospital o n

the campus.

MONEYThe pre-medical students proposed

to ask the Provincial Government t o1) provide a 500-bed hospital at a costof $4 million ; 2) increase the medicalappropriation fund to $2 million, an d3) provide an annual operating bud -get of $400,000 .

In support of the request, Wilsonpointed out that the liquor profit fo r

1945 amounted to $11 million, enough

to build and maintain the medicalschool for 12 years ,

"If they are going to allow usto injure ourselves, they shouldprovide the doctors to look afte rus," Wilson quipped.In defending the program, Pat

Fowler pointed out that financiall ythe program was "just and feasible "

and that, since a 700-bed health cen-ter was badly needed in the pro-vince, the benefits of the plan wer e

self-evident. "

A RIGHT THIN G"I want to stress that this is common

ground for everybody . It is a thing

that is right, and should be sup -ported," Fowler stated.

CARE TO DEBATE ?The charges made against UBC by th e

University of Saskatchewan's Debating Unio n

in regard to the selection of McGoun Cu pjudges may or may not be justified . They doserve, however, to give occasion to remin d

the Western Universities Debating League an d

the Parliamentary Forum on this campus tha tthey both could do with a little re-organizing .

The League, which is responsible for arrang-ing the McGoun Cup competition among th efour western provincial universities, displaye dalmost unbelievable inefficiency in its supposedorganization of this year's debates . The greates tconfusion apparently existed up to the las tminute on each campus concerned. No oneuniversity seemed to be quite sure just whichteams were travelling where, and the fac tthat the debates were held on schedule at al lnow seems rather remarkable .

This is the same League that plans to enlarg eits activities to include an East-West debate ,financed by the member universities . It wouldbe well advised to get its house in order sothat its ambitions will not surpass its abilities .

On this campus, debates are the business ofthe Parliamentary Forum. That major clubhas provided the campus with some excellen tprograms, and should now be encouraged in it splans for increased competition with other

universities, both in Canada and in the UnitedStates. It should also be encouraged to revis eits organization to provide for more co-ordina-tion of its activities .

The Ubyssey can truthfully claim that it ha sseldom worked harder to provide its reader swith information than in the cases of th eMcGoun Cup debate in Vancouver and th ecurrent American tours by Forum members ,As sponsors and hosts, the Forum officialsshould have been able to supply this pape rwith information about the McGoun event .What actually happened was that most of th eimportant news came to The Ubyssey throug hits own sources, such as Canadian UniversityPress, and as the debate grew closer the Forumwas phoning The Ubyssey and asking forinformation about its own affairs .

Even harder to believe, but nevertheles strue, are the times this week when seniorexecutives of the Parliamentary Forum havenot been able to tell the paper just exactlywhich membe were on the road during theirAmerican tours ,

This would all be veryamusing, except tha tthe Alma Mater Society is paying out substan-tial sums to support these plans of the Parlia-mentary Forum .

LEGS AND MORALSOn Tuesday, time retraced its steps a ful l

year. Father Francis Chaloner, Chaplain o

St. Paul's Hospital, last winter charged tha tUBC's Mardi Gras chorus was indecently clad .The controversy that resulted, perhaps becaus eit was given more attention than it deserved ,caused much useless resentment and abuse .This week, the charges have been repeated ;and although Father Chaloner's motives can -not be impeached, his actions cannot be con-sidered as other than ill-judged and misdirected .

The Chaplain is within his province when h evoices his general opinion that exposure o fparts of the female body is immoral ; but he i swholly beyond it when he presumes to criticis ea specific group wholly unconnected wit hhimself . He may be right, but morality i slargely a matter of personal opinion ; and sincewe are not answerable to him for our views o nthe subject, his criticism of our opinion is amanifestation of gross intolerance on his part .

CHORUS SMALL ISSUEThose who believe that the Mardi Gras chorus

is conducive to bad morals are highly over -rating a simple element in a complex problem .There have been times in the past when suchdisplays of the female in the dance routine didnot exist, yet there is little evidence that moral swere better then, If Father Chaloner believe sthat Victorian prudery is the cure for socialills in the 20th century, he is sadly misinformed.The effort spent in writing letters of indignan tprotest to the newspapers might have bee nbetter spent in the reading of an elementarytext on psychology.

The chorus, brief attire and all, is clean

ludicrous. Let him first devote his efforts t oimproving the liquor laws ; to eliminating thebootleggers, gambling joints, and brothels ; tohousing ex-servicemen; to tearing down themid-town slums ; to encouraging progressiv eeducational techniques. Then, if his attitud eis fair and tolerant, we should be pleased tolisten to his opinions on Mardi Gras choruses .

The Mardi Gras committee, however, is no twholly blameless . It must have been awareof the unpleasantness last year; discreetpublicity might have avoided a repetition . Theuniversity depends upon public goodwill, an dneedless alienation of it cannot be tolerated .After the student response to the Mardi Gra swas ascertained, the high-pressure campaignmight easily have been toned down . For whenall the tickets were sold, further publicitybecame personal publicity for chorus, com-mittee, and sponsors . And charity, not pub-licity, is the professed aim of the Mardi Gras .

Letters To The Edito rGREEK & GREEKS

Dear Six :As the University sororities are so

fond of Greek, they won't mind if Icall several of their members "Ecdy-siasts' from the Greek 'ekdusis, 'meaning the act of shedding" o r

`taking off .' That was the term ap-

plied in 1937 by H. L. Meucken t oGypsy Rose Lee, and the older mem-bers of the sororities will remembe rwhy she was 'infamous. ,

And since they seek to justify theirMardi Gras imprudence or impudence

(in the strict sense of the Latin, de -

noting lack of 'pudor', modesty,) byBox Office returns, may I remindthem that Twentieth Century Studios

gave Gypsy Rose Lee $2,000 a weekfor her first bona fide role as an act -Tess, "The Kind," as she proudly pu t

"wive wears clothes" but that sh emade twice that sum at the NewYork World's Fair, without the hell ,

of clothes—and got a bigger hand —

verified by ai applause meter—than

Roosevelt and Wilkie put together .Moreover, she was the attraction a tmany 'swanky benefit performances' .

Authority for the above statementswill be found in the July, 1941, Read-er's Digest, page 71—'More TeaseThan Strip, .

The following admission, publishe dis the Vancouver Daily Province o nMonday last, January 20, 1947, ma yprovide food for thought on a some -what higher plane ,

"Speaking at a luncheon meetingsponsored gy the Round-The-WorldYWCA Reconstruction Fund cam-paign for $2,100,000 the writer andformer congresswoman (Clare Booth eLuce) told 2,000 women guests : 'Ourgreat failure is not that we have fail-ed to be politicians, or statesmen, orSCiOflttstS, or soldiers, or scholars. I tis simply that we have failed s otragically to be better women . '

I am aware, of coure, that such ajudgement will be suspect comingfrom one who is now a Catholic, but

I imagine that even the superioryoung ladles of the Greek letter sor-orities would allow that Clare BootheLuce might be considered intelligent .

Believe me,FRANCIS CHALONER

Dear Sir :

I should like to suggest that in

view of the announcement of his can -

didacy for the position of Presidentof the AMS, it seems highly irregula rthat Bill McKay should retain hisposition as a member of the ElectloneCommittee . If he does not feel in-dined to resign it might well be sug-gested that the President request himto do so .

His position seems even more vul-nerable if the criticism of your eu-itorial in Tuesday's paper is takeninto consideration .

FacuIty Previews Film;Laud `God OF ' Creation '

By SHIRLEY MANNING

After previewing the film, "God of Creation ", members o f

the faculty and heads of the Students' Council commented on

the originality of subject matter and the excellence of the colo r

photography .

This film will be shown to students of The University of

Praising tree flowerand changes in insect life, Dr . A. F.Bares, head of the department o fhorticulture, said the film had hisheartiest endorsement. He was sec-onded by Prof. de Jong of the civi lengineering department who com-mented, "I am personally amazed bythe whole thing . It went far beyon dthe conceptions of the ordinary read-er of the subjects which it covered . "

Representing the student body, Te dKirkpatrick president of the Stud-

Marion Dow, make up convenor fo r"HMS Pinafore," requests all girls in-terested in working with the pro-duction in this field to turn out fora meeting Friday, January 24, at 12 :30in Auditorium 207 .

Commenting on the fine photog-raphy displayed In the film, H .Nicholson, president of the film so-ciety and Mr . Norman Barton, as-sistant in visual education ExtensionDepartment, stated that the lapsed-time photography in color is the bestthey had ever seen.

After hearing these enthusiasti copinions, I was a little dubious abou tthe true worth of the film as I wentinto the second preview . But I camecut amazed at the great understate-ment of the critics . Being a very un-scientific person, I was struck espec-ially by the beautifully appropriatebackground music and marvelousmethods of presentation used .

Such photographic oddities as theboiling and bubbling of "time-com-pressed" clouds, the hiccuping of agrowing fuchsia, the fighting of twocaterpillars and the devouring of alarge monocelled animal by one of athird its size I honestly found fascin-ating. With the beautiful naturalcoloring, the good background musi cand the fine photography, the filmis exceptional .

Canadian Canine Expert

Speaks At Game Meet

By HARRY CASTILLO U

When a Newfoundland, down from a ship in Alaska, an d

an otter were crossed, the Chesapeake retriever was born. Or

so the story goes, according to Bill Egerton, dog trainer, who

gave the Fish and Game lads much more than they bargained

for, at a question and answer period, early this week, of UBC' s

field and stream enthusiasts .Beagles and their brother houndsU

were the only places where Bill slip -ped up, and he admitted frankly thathe had had little experience with this

offshoot of "man's best friend. "

Explaining that a dog keeps him- ,

self warm by shivering, he said thathe had never yet "come across a

pointer with rheumatism . "The answer is they have such short

coats that they get rid of any waterin a big hurry.

results of one race do not mean very

much in skiing. Furthermore, to hold

trials on Vancouver courses in orderto select a team for Banff would be asmeaningless as trying to determinethe ability of a golfer on a miniature

golf course .I admit those who took part in the

Revelstoke trip had a better chanceto get on the Banff team simply be -cause they had 10 days' practice on acourse comparable to the one at Banff .

This is the reason why the Revel -stoke trip was organized in the firs tplace . However, not having gone toRevelstoke did not exclude anybodyfrom the team, since past records wer ealso considered . If there is anybodywho would qualify for the team onstrength of his past record, and I donot know him, he has nobody to blameexcept himself . It is the responsibilit yof the individual to express his wishto be on the team and to give thecoach a chance to observe him .It is difficult to organize practices . nany one of the local Vancouver moun-tains without having skiers who hap-pen to ski on the other mountains feelneglected . Again, the 'choice of th emajority will have to be followed ifwe don't want to waste time in run-ning from one place to another. I wishto assure Mr . Crompton that every -body who has turned out for prac-tices was, and is, being consideredfor the team. I have declined toname a final team, not only to selectfor each race a most suited man, bu talso to keep in training and give en-couragement for improvement for asmany skiers as it is possible .

It is by practicing tgether rather thanby racing against each other that a tea mwill improve, because even the abilityto absorb racing experience presup-poses a cetrain knowledge of racingtechnique, The season is by no meansover and everybody has a chance t oget on a team for the tournaments t ocome .

There will be various races wher eeach skier can prove his worthand I would like nothing better thanif somebody would item up whowould be capable of beating the pres-ent team. However, I am convincedthat not only have we utilized thetime available to the best advantagein preparing the team for the Banffmeet, but also that the selection wa sfair and meets with the approval o fthe majority of skiers on the campus ,

Rugby Union. Two campus teamsare odds on favorites to win the pre-

Feature of the games will be the

seven-man teams playing under inter -national rules . The speed should b e

terriffic and it is expected that the

players wil lbe slightly exhausted b ythe end of the afternoon .

The Miller Cup winners, Varsity ,

are expected by downtown scribes tosnatch the trophy, but campus mo-guls are predicting a surprise perform-ance by the UBC aggregation . As bot hteams will be playing for the first

under seven-man rules, it i svery hard to predict results .

Another feature of the Union is thedual referee system, which is to beused exclusively on all rugby gameshenceforth . This means the McKech-nie Cup games will have two refer-ees on deck .

This grand total of six games wil lget under way at 1 :45, when Oak BayHigh and King Ed ruggers kick off .

At 2 :45 Meralomas and North ShoreAll-Blacks will open up ; at 3 :05 UBCwill meet Rowing Club, and Varsit ywill take on Ex-South Burnaby a t3 :25 . At 3 :45 the winners of the firs ttwo tests will pair off and the fina lgame for the Tisdall Cup will getunder way at 4 :10 .

FENCING DISPLAYThere will be a fencing exhibition

during intermissions of the basketballgame this Friday evening .

ALL FOR SHOWA confirmed field trial man, he has

no use for "show dogs", claiming

that the Irish setter, once a great fieldstrain, has had the hardiness bred

out of him by "bench show trainers ""I remember one of the wildest

dogs I ever owned, who did nothin gbut run amuck on Seymour moun-tain, received a bench ribbon as 'Bes tConditioned Dog In Show'," he said

disgustedly .He explained that canine trainin g

all stems from the word Ho, which

means stop.This last is apparently brought abou t

by either a jerk on a cord, tied to thedog's neck, or a process of piggybackin the trainer's arms, back to thespot of command .

A PAIR OF WAY STwo methods outlined in stopping a

pointer who continually breaks shot ,or ranges too far from his master' sbeck and call were outlined by Mr .

Egerton .These consist in the use of either a

rope and spiked collar, or a number ofsacks tied on a canine neck to makehim slow his gait .

What really set the boys back ontheir heels occurred when Bill—inanswer to a query as to his opinionof English pointer inbreeding—pro-ceeded to trace the history of Ameri-ca's first four pointer strains, off -spring by offspring, naming each dog ,from Porter's original breed, to a pres-ent champion, Muscle Shoals Zip .

the team, little Ducky Moore, and, of

course, Seely himself.HONEST ABE HIMSELF

'Twas then that the diminutiv e

coach, Abe Saperstein himself, strod e

in with Clem McDonald, the owner ofthe Hornets, and the handshaking wa s

repeated .Remembering one of the stoc k

questions of the trade, this Ubysse y

reporter asked the local hoop mogu las he was quitting the dressing room :

"How do you think your boys wil ldo tonight," and a wink was directed

at Ducky Moore.It proved to be an embarassin g

question .

Dear Sir : -The job of coach is not an easy on e

especially when he is forced to decid e

on a team. The decision, whichever

way it goes is liabel to be criticized,

and in a letter dealing with the Ski

Team, Bob Crompton did bring upsome points worthy of discussion .

Please permit me to present my ar-guments . In trying to organize aski team on the campus, I had to

choose between two methods : 1) to

spend the available time on runninga series of time trials and thereby ar-riving at the team by the process o f

elimination ; or 2) to take as manyskiers as possible and spend my time

in trying to teach them as much a s

I know about racing and racing tech-nique, and use my judgment and myknowledge of each individual in se-

lecting a team for each race.I have chosen the second method

fully realizing that it would involv e

some miner injustices . However, I

am sure that these injustices will b e

no greater than those which woul dhave resulted in using the first meth-

od. Also it seems to me this policy

will not only lead to a better teamthis year, but also benefit the ski

standard on the campus in the long

run .I agree with Mr. Crompton a coach

should not olny develop a good team

for the present, but also try to pro-

vide replacements for the future . It i s

in the methods in which we disagree .The time available for developing an d

selecting a team is short—a couple o f

weekends, and a week at Christmas .This time is better spent in practicin g

and learning the finer points in rac-ing than holding time trials showin g

who is the least inexperienced. The

The Varsity Senior B entry in the

were the large point-getters for the

were Martin, and Urquahart with 11

THERE WAS A MANIt was during the regular halftime

breather of the Senior A tilt that he

noticed a gentlemen lounging in the

make - shift ruch section that themanagement had installed for th e

occasion, a gent who had all the quali-fications of a Globe Trotter,—tall, dark ,

and amiable, Your reporter sauntere dover and the confab was on .

Tom Seely was a mite shy at first ,but when plyed continually with th eusual impertinent questions he re-vealed that it was his first year on

the team, that he hailed from Brook-lyn, was 6'l½" tall (not a lanky gentas casaba artists run), and that h eliked music .

Gradually, however, he warmed t o

the various and varied queries pose dhim, and the subject inevitably turne dto the Harlem Globe Trotters, Inc .Seely, a likeable fellow with a broa dgleaming ivory smile, informed m ethat in addition to th etwo sectionsof the Trotters rambling about th econtinent, there was an Intricate farmsystem in the col-potation .
