Shoe MysteryWould BaffleBlowout !

How to get from Stanley Park toSasamat in stockings was the problemwhich confronted one student whohad been skating at the Lagoon, Tues-day .night .

When Interviewed, the unfortunateone stated that he had concealed hisshoes in a sequestered spot by the sid eof the ice-sheet, "I kept returningto see if the shoes, and the overcoatwith which I had covered them, wereintact," he declared .

"Unhappily, " he continued, "I di dnot repeat the dose often enough, fo rwhen I returned to find the shoes ,they were gone." At this point hebecame incoherent with grief, and itwas only with the greatest tact thatthe reporter could elicit the followinginformation .

It appeared that the UnfortunateStudent, having searched the entirearea round the Lagoon, was forced toreturn home in a pair of borrowe dstockings.

It is understood that, on his return ,his language was of such a nature a sto force those in the same house a shimself to keep him quiet by bruteforce .

Those who have been successfull yvaccinated within seven years nee dnot concern themselves further .

Those who have been successfull yvaccinated at some time but notwithin seven years should have th evaccination repeated . If such stu-dents are still protected from theearlier vaccination, the present onewill not take. But if the earlier vac-cination has lost its effect, the pres-ent one will take and give the pro-tection needed .

Any students not successfully vac -I cinated within seven years who ar etaken ill with headache, fever, sorethroat, intestinal upset, etc ., com-bined with back ache, should calla physician at once—if on the Cam -pus .apply at once to the UniversityHealth Service, Room 306, Auditor-ium Building (upstairs) .

At LastA ChanceTo . Disbelieve

Mr. Ripley, the contradictory "Be-lieve it or Not" man has contra -dieted once too often. So reveal sMr. H. Thompson, a student in theUniversity of British Columbia .

In the Saturday Evening Pos tdated Saturday, February 8, the in -fallible (?) cartoonist contended tha tcontrary to general belief, the gian tGoliath of biblical fame was kille dnot by David, but by Elhanan, an-other giant . He backs up this rev-olutionary declaration with two ref-erences.

However, he evidently did no treckon with the critical intellect sof our university students, or h ewould have known better than tomake such a contention, For Mr .Thompson lays bare the fraud o fthis perplexing allegation . He showsthat not Goliath, but Goliath's broth-er was slain by Elhanan and clinche shis argument with two references .The first of these is from Chroni-cles 20, 5th verse : "—and Elhanan ,the son of Jair slew Lahmi, thebrother of Goliath the Gittite—"The second is from Samuel 21, 19t hverse, where Elhanan, the son o fJaare-oregim (also spelt Jair), aBethlehemite, slew the brother ofGoliath the Gittite .

There now Mr. Ripley. Who say suniversity students are' not a bene-fit to the community?

KnowThat last year's cut of $145,000 necessitated that (a) n o

new supplies be bought, (b) classes had to be combined, result-ing in less efficiency of study, and (c) student fees be raised ,thus keeping many from attending ?

That on a statistical basis, taking the average family of fivepersons, there are 102,000 families in B . C., and last year'sregistration shows that care person from every 37 families in th eprovince attended the University?

Feverish activity is still the gen.oral characteristic of the StudentPublicity Committee rooms, as theambitious machinery set in motion aweek ago gathers momentum andswings into action .

The first latter has gone on itsmission of good-will to the Univer-sity and already some replies hav ebeen received. A member of theLegislative Assembly, has . criticizedthe student effort. The Minister ofEducation says : "I have been quiteinterested to receive the informationwhich you have sent. "

Ken Campbell, convener of the fl .ranee sub-committee, states tha tplans for the benefit basketball gam eand the noon hour dance have beendropped. It was feared that thoseunfavorable to the scheme wouldpick upon it as evidence of themuch touted Rah-rah-lam which isso much deplored throughout theprovince . Arrangements are beingmade for speakers to address othersocieties and clubs in the very nea rfuture.

Contributions from the faculty havebeen received to the extent of twelv edollars so far. More is expected fromthis source however, as letters ask-ing for contributions to the financesof the Bureau have been circulatedamong the professors.

Up to the time of going to press,762 caution money waivers havebeen signed, not over a thousand e e

ADVERSE CRITICISM

It could not be expected that a publicity

drive as vigorous as the one which the Student '

Publicity Committee is conducting would not

meet with a certain amount of adverse M.

ticism. It is interesting to note the point s

which such criticism endeavours to establish.

Briefly two aspects of the student argument

are attacked. First: What does the Publicity

Committee want? Second: The University ismore akin to a luxury than to a necessity andshould therefore be among the first things t osuffer at a time when the general standardof living must be lowered.

A terse communication from the Minister

of Education demonstrates the criticism of in- 1

definiteness . In part the Minister aays, "I was

interested to receive the information which

you sent" J. Loutet, M.L.A., writes, "If youare referring to the reduction of the University

Grant, why not deal with that direct? "The line of action adopted by the Student

Committee has possibly fai to make any de-

finite remand at present . The Committee he-

Doves that all action should prefaced by anintensive educational effort . Unless

tic considers that the University is worth su',

porting it is not going to supportThe publicity campaign, as was'clearlydid not finish with the mailing of tletter. The students will not be' backwarasking for active assistance when or if theyhave occasion to need it.

From the downtown press comes the fol-lowing comment: "As the Star has insistedmore than once university expendituremust be considered in relation to other expen-diture ." This is precisely the point that thestudents wish to make. It seems to them thatthe University is about to take a cut which isunparalleled in any other department adminis-tered from Victoria . Moreover, the studentshave attempted to show that any serious cur-tailment of the functions of the institutionwould be permanent rather than temporary .Is this true of all enterprise financed by publicfunds? If not, why should an economic de-bacle, which is generally conceded to be onlytemporary, be allowed to wreck those thingswhich cannot be repaired ?

A further criticism from the member fo rWorth Vancouver suggests that the student s:are attempting to make a political football ou t,of the University . Where Mr. Loutet obtainsthis idea it is difficult to imagine . Certainlythe Student Committee had no idea of allow-ing politics to enter into the sincere effortwhich they are putting forward to convincethe people of British Columbia that the pro-jected slash in the University grant would bepoor business .

THAT FIFTY PER CENT.

A great deal of discussion is current at thepresent time concerning the eligibility rulesand their application to certain members of th eBasketball team. A strong case has been pre-sented to show that the affected players arenot getting a square deal . The latest develop-ment reports that a petition is being circulatedasking for the reinstatement of these men as"eligibles . "

It certainly seems hard that because a manhappens to make a few unfortunate marks i nhis Christmas exams he is prevented from par-ticipating in a sport at which he excels . It isopen to doubt whether the standardsupon which "eligibility" is based are truly re -presentative . It is further, a serious impositionon the more academically inclined members o fthe team who are now forced to meet all oppo-sition without the assistance of their formercolleagues . These points, however, presentonly one side of the question .

Two years ago when the eligibility ruleswere first drawn up, all aspects of the cas eboth pro and con received consideration and i twas finally decided that regulations of some:sort were absolutely essential. It was quiteu atural that some mistake might be made in

SY— R.GRAN?HAM

A well-wishing but not optimistic lawye rhas replied to the Publicity Bureau's first cir-cular letter. A graduate of Toronto, he sym -

pathizes with our efforts, bu tInformation asks why the University shoul dNeeded

not suffer in the general econo -mies as well as the other depart-

ments and public institutions. To this it maybe replied that the University has already suf-fered severely and that the proposed reductio nin the government grant this year would bedisproportionate . The University grant shouldcertainly not suffer more than other grants —many of us believe, in fact, that it should feelthe economy axe more lightly . Surely it is nota civilized attitude to hold that in times of dif-ficulty educational economies should be asgreat as other economies . To hold that theyshould be greater is simply barbarous.

Our legal friend reveals that, like manyothers, he has heard mostly about the lessserious side of our University life . He furtherbelieves that the taxpayer has to pay for stu-dent dances, plays, etc ., which, of course, is notso at all . Students pay for these things them -selves.

This letter shows what a great need thereis in the province for information of the kin dthat the Publicity Bureau is disseminating.

e e eWe sometimes hear the opinion that British

Columbia is ahead of time in the field of high-er education. I believe this idea is quite mis -

taken. New Zealand, an Educe-Not Ahead tion student from that country in -Of Times forms me, supports a universit y

which has colleges in four cities ,and supports it more generously than BritishColumbia does U.B.C. The number of stu-dents, too, is much greater in proportion thanit is in B. C. The University brooks no inter-ference, and is quite able and ready to fightany government that attempts at ,

Alberta and Saskatchewan founded thei runiversities long before U.B.C . was ,opened ,and have been generous to them, U.B.C., how.evert btu 4!VV10ped steadily, and in a few years

tution very favorably knownout the continent, thank; to a d1 -

faculty,*it' q y a id yams of

~ tou»(sii, and the good w done byoutlaws.

The prestige of U.H.C. as one of the best uni-versities on the continent reflects on the whol eprovince, to say nothing of its more tangiblevalue to the people.

e e"An Important Meeting " was the title o f

an editorial about to-night's conference be-tween students and the Board of Governors . I

don't suppose any of our readersChoosing realize how much consideration goe sA Title into the choosing of an editoria l

title. Therefore an illustration woul dbe illuminating. I was at tie printer 's whenthe title mentioned was chosen by the editor ,after ether members of the staff had made suc hsuggestions as the following: "Information,Please," "Great Expectations," "Going orComing?" "Magna Res," "tine Conference Im-portante," "Getting Together, " "SkookumPow-wow, " "Where Do We Get Off?" "What' sthe Score?" That will give you an Idea ofthe thought and attention given to the produc-tion of this newspaper, whose appearance twicea week you accept as a matter of course .

It gives you no idea, however, of the largerproblems that arise, and the great nervou sstrain involved . For example, the Muck edi-tor's Campaign Number was to fill a wholepage, but late in the evening of press night ,a third of it had to be taken out of the form t omake room for front page continuations. Itwas pitiful, I can tell you, to see the distraugh tdisciples of Shrdlu fighting for every inch an dmournfully directing the removal of thei rbrain-children, at the insistence of the ruthlesseditor.

* C 4The remarks re columnists in "News and

Views" was thrust at me gleefully by the As-sistant Muck Editor and others . I am so dis-couraged that I can't write anything more to -day .

the standard of eligibility set, only experiencecould show what grades it should be necessar yto maintain. Recently, when it became appar-ent that many players were going to be af-fected, the required minimum on the Christ-mas exams was lowered from 55 per cent . to50 per cent. To take the attitude that the stu-dents affected by the eligibility rules should beexempted is creating a ridiculous situation .After thorough consideration and two years 'trial a regulation is determined and yet the mo -ment that it comes into application an effortis made to sidestep it .

It is possible that the eligibility rules arestill not ideal but any petition which is circu-lated should surely ask for a change in the rul-ing and not for exemption for those affectedby the existing restriction.

PAGING MR. GRANTHAM"Columnists, to my way of think-

ing, are pitifully harmless creatures ,least important of all the varied im -pedimenta collected by a collegiatenewspaper. Their duty is merely tofill space . They never have any -thing new to say ; therefore, the lea ptthat they can do is to say it in anoriginal manner .

Editor, The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir:

Some comment has been heard bythe writer on the subject of the let -ters recently sent out by the Pub-licity Committee to business andprofessional men in the city .

The observation made most fre -quently seems to be, "AU very well,but what do they want us to doabout it?" They found the letterearnest, spirited, but hardly inform -ative.

The learned compilers of these let -ters should remember that they ar egoing into the offices of men wh oare public-spirited, but busy . Theyare willing enough to listen to asound proposition, but they want t obe sure of facts . They will agreethat the University is undoubtedlya Good Thing (In the parlance of"1088 and All That"), but they re -member that times are hard . Theywant to know what has been donein the way of "taking in sail" Inthese stormy days of depression, an dwhat else can be done, if necessary ,which will still keep the universit yfunctioning adequately.

They have neither the time northe inclination to listen to the ex-position of the cultural values to theprovince of a university . They arealready aware of these things .

Arc, Me

"The heroes of Chula are herscholars, her men of Intellect," de-clared M . Moore Whaun, to the in-terested ' group which 'assennbled atthe home of Miss Margaret Muir-head at the first meeting of Paclf cArea for the term .

The chairman, announced the re-ceipt of letters from Dr . T. Z. Koo,and' of literature from Mr. GeorgeHatharne, of the World ChristianFederation in Geneva . Films of theConference held at Elgin House,and of the Fecafic Aria gatheringwere shown, and thoroughly enjoyedeven by those who were not fortun-ate enough to attend the convention .

Mr. Whaun, in his address on"China's Contribution to Civiliza-tion," considered `the' subject fromboth the material and cultural as .Peak . . With "a history as old as thatof Egypt, China's gifts have variedwith the ages, and great feats of en-gineering are to be placed side byside with contributions to sport life .

It is in the cultured field however,that China has made her greatestgift . Her people think in terms ofcenturies . They have a love andreverence for learning. "To theChinese time is valuable only as itcan be saved for enjoyment andcontemplation."

A vote of thanks was extende dto the speaker, and an announce-ment made regarding the meetingto be held February 12, 1932. Thecommittee have been fortunate insecuring as their speaker, Dr. Ton-kin, who has made a special studyof his subject "Confucius." Keepthe date in mind–place of meetingto be announced later .

To think of the innocence of thisthis little Freshen. at twelve a .m.Tuesday. Cherishing shy little maid-enly hopes that H. would have bNu-tiful brown eyes and be awfully rasesand give me a good time. Sayinlittle things like, "I Wonder who wil ldraw the President–o'h, does he hewto take the Secretary?' t wonderwhat I woUld feel like to be fWs f it:dui and draw a 1)0 Oa' het toll?(with 'a private `

What was more, I began to thinkthey were going to have the lion'sthere, when the spinney-lookingpeople at the desk started to callout names, and we poor little Fresh-men had to stand up one by one .

And did they use their vocalchords–and their rubber-neckingchords–oh, my goodness !

But when my name was calledand I had to stand up, they use dall their chords, so hard that Ilooked down at my feet quickly tomake sure that I wasn't growinglike Alice did in Wonderland beforetheir astonished eyes.

And as for "Him" he might be anAdonis in Bond St . clothes, or thelate Z. Z. Zilch's kid brother. I'mafraid I didn't see . Somebody toldme he was nice–but the only rea-son she gave was that he went tothe same hlghschool as she did.Somebody said he was dark–somaybe he has got brown eyes . Ihaven't heard anything to the con-trary so far . If anyone knows theboy I mean, will he please tell hi mto look me up quickly, because evenif I am disillusioned and everything,—I want to go to the Class party i fI can. Absolutely.

U.B.C. Team Plays Ex-Prince of Wale sTonight at 10 p.m. in Arena—ThreeFirst String Regulars Banished by

EUgibWty Rules

Minus three first string regularsowing to eligibility rules the Blu eand Gold' intermediate ice hockeysquad were nosed out 4.3 by theAmbassadors at the Arena on Mon -day night . '

The first period opened with Am.bounders combining smoothly whil eVarsity were having some difficultyin finding their bearings . After fiveminutes of play the oppositionopened the scoring having rippe dthe Blue and Gold defense wideopen. McLeod equalized shortlyafter on a beautiful solo effort, butthe Ambassadors came right bac kwith two more counters giving thema 3-1 lead which they held through-out the first period.

The students began to find theirfeet in the second period and turne din some fine hockey which mighthave altered the final appearance ofthe score sheet had they developed .a stronger offensive . The Ambas-sadors added another tally however, ,before the Varsity team could turntheir improved play into dividendsin the form of goals. The shot wasthe best scoring effort of the game,the puck finding the net from out-side the blue line. Play in this per.led ended with the Blue and Goldsquad on the short end of a 4-1count.

Opening the third period with thestrongest offensive which theyshowed throughout the entire game,Varsity were soon rewarded whe nKing McGregor scored their secon dtally on a smart solo effort . A fewminutes later the forward line wentdown on a nice combined rushwhich culminated with Carswe l'sgoal on McLeod's assist In a fina leffort to tie up the count, Varsitythrew four men on the offense withthe fifth man at centre ice, but th eopposing defense held and the gameended with the Blue and Gold onthe short end of the 4 .3 score .

(Please

Last Monday the Students' Council de-cided that 'the Varsity basketball club shoul dnot be allowed to put on an exhibition gameat which an admission should be charged, th eproceeds to be used in purchasing a gift fo r

rs Milton Thorpe, the Basketbal club phy-sician, who has left the city and has beenforced to break his affiliations with the Uni-versity.

By expressing this opinion Council hastaken a direct stand in regards to the statusof coaches at the University of B.C., and theattitude is neither favorable to the coachesnor to the University . d Council, it appears,would infer that the coaches who sacrificetheir time to assist the Varsity teams aredoing nothing that is of value to the studen tbody as a whole .

In a letter to the president of the Basket-ball club the student executive states tha twhile the admission might not be charged forthe express purpose of purchasing a gift forDr. Thorpe, it would be quite permissible tocharge a nominal sum for the game if the pro -ceeds were donated to . the Publicity cam-paign. Continuing, the letter states that al-lowing such a game for the purpose of buyinga present would set a precedent, leaving theCouncil open to applications from all club sfor similar exhibitions. The fact that by al-lowing such gate receipts to go to the publi -city campaign would set a precedent equallyas dangerous as in the former case is not eve nconsidered.

But the case of the Basketball club is mere-ly a specific example of the attitude of theStudents' Council . The only way in whichthe refusal can be taken is that the studentofficials feel that the work of the coaches atthis University is of benefit to no one but th eplayers with whom they come in direct con -tact. Evidently the honor of any champion-ship which we win has no value to the stu -dents in general .

At every other University in Canada, wit hthe possible exception of Mount Allison andAcadia, for which we have not figures, atleast one coach is paid a salary for his wor kat the college. In every one of these Universi -ties the student association contributes to thi ssalary. Yet in the action of Students' Coun-cil last Monday night it is evident that the stu -dent association of U.B.C. has no desire toaid the men who are willing to help the Var -sity teams to the best of their ability. It isour opinion that Council has failed to inter -pret the wishes of the student body, and tha tits action is not in accord with desires of themajority of the students. It seems obviousthat the executive in considering the subjec thas dealt only with the question of the Bas -ketball Club, failing to see the general atti -tude which this action implies .
