One Man ' sOpinion

by ANDY SNADDO N

• WHEN members of thecast of "Her Scienceman

Lover" took their bows afterthe final curtain at Monday'spep meet the author of th eplay was also present on thestage.

For the great majority o fthe students in the audienceit was the first time they hadever seen a fellow studentwho has entertained the mweekly, for two years now,with a column in the Uby-ssey .

"Who is Jabez?" every memberof the Publications Board runs in-to that question, and most of the mcan only give a brief answer, HeIs known to few,—a natural shy-ness is the main reason .

WHO IS JOBEZ ?Last fall the University of Al-

berta "Gateway" began to prin t"The Mummery" . At Christma swe had occasion to visit the Ed-monton campus and as soon as

U. of A . etudes found we werefrom the Ubyssey they wanted toknow "Who is Jabez? I think he' s

wonderful" .The influence of Jabez has bee n

felt throughout our university .Working on the copy desk of th eUbyssey editors are consistently

reminded of this when almostevery reporter adopts a fascimileof the Jabez style for feature .

stories. The percentage of iWter-acy among sciencemen has dropped

alarmingly as these worthies hav edetermined to learn to read, sothat they won't have to wait for

an Artsman to read the columnto them. C.O.T .C . parades are fill-ed with the humor borrowed from

the column ,

JABEZ THE BOYNow after Monday's success more

than ever the question is "Who Is

Jabez?"Eric Patric (Begorra) Nicol, was

born in Kingston, Ontario, (Queens

Journal please copy) one year be-

fore his first birthday . At the age

of six months he had shown little

sign of amounting to anything, al -

though old friends recall that he

had the most expressive way of

saying "goo" as he threw rocks

at his grandmother .Some years after this he cam e

to the Pacific coast . There is notruth to the rumor that the ward-

en of the Kingston penitentiary

has been trying to get him bac k

ever since . At Lord Byng High

School here he managed to win

the ping pong championship . Lord

Byng, incidentally, is the alma

mammy of Lionel Salt .

COLLITCH DAZE

After hearing some of those

stories about Paris, Eric decided

to come to U.B .C. and study honor s

French. While drifting about the

campus one day in his sophomor e

year, his innocence lead him to

wander into t h e Publications

Board. He started to write a col-

umn which he called 'Chang Suey' ,

this appealed to the campus and

editors have been ogering prayer s

of thanks ever since.

Last year he switched to th e

"Mummery" and the Jabezian er a

of literature began at Varsity . Our

hero graduated in the spring, but,

always a sucker for punishment ,

he returned to take graduate work .

Modesty Is his long suit. He i s

always the silent partner in any

group and he rarely appears in

any of the social centers such as

the caf . In conversation he dis-

plays the wit which characterizes

his column.PHONE NUMBER

For the benefit of the ladies we

might add that little is known of

his private life. Agents from"Slush", "Gush" and "Mush" mag-

azines have failed to uncover any -

thing regarding secret loves . He

stands about 5 ft ., 9 in ., has wavy ,black hair, a ready smile an d

pleasant green eyes . He is No . 21 0

in the stacks and his phone num-

ber is in the directory .

The name Jabez comes from th e

Hebrew and means "He will cause

pain" .He gives the members of th e

Player's Club the credit for th e

success of "Her Scienceman Lov-

er" . Those who saw it will agree

with him that the varsity thespians

turned in a dandy performance .

PUBSTERS : There will be a

meeting in the Pub for all person s

on the masthead, 12 :30, Monday .

NOTICE : Will anyone possessin g

a record of "We're Going to Han g

Out The Washing On The Sieg-

fried Lure" please bring it to the

Pub, where they will be ampl y

rewarded .

Major-General Griesback C .B . ,

C .M.G., D.S .O., a member of th e

Canadian Senate, has a brillian t

war record . Senator Griesbac k

went overseas in the last war as

a Colonel of the 49th Edmonton

Regiment .Especially interested in junio r

leadership and the place of the

young officer, Major-General

Griesback has displayed great in-

terest in officer training unit s

such as the C .O.T.C .

Major-General Griesback ex -

pressed himself as very pleased

with last Wednesday's demonstra-

tion and is returning this Saturda y

to watch the entire corps in action ,

The inspector-general will prob-

ebly walls about the campus and

look on informally as the men go

through their regular training.

It is believed that he desires to

see just how the training is con -

ducted .

Anticipation for the inspector -

general's visit is running hig h

among the men of theC.O.T.C. and

the Hay and Montador Shoe Shin-

ing Co. is expected to do a roaring

business.

"With the presence of Major-

General Griesback on the campus ,

there will be a special need for

smartness", stated the two sho e

shine magnate to the Ubyssey

yesterday ,

• ANTICIPATING THEIR firs t

s-t of spring finals, freshettc sand freshmen as a whole regard

examinations as a necessary evil ,random interviews on the campu srevealed this week .

A l though the majority of stud-ents interviewed are reconciled t o

thi need for examinations, theyoffer definite criticism of certai naspects of the system now func-

tioning on the campus .

OVER-EMPHASIZE FINALS

Objecting mainly to the over -

emphasis laid on finals in evalu-ating the year' s work of a studen ,

their remarks frequently advocat-ed more extensive use of smal l

exams throughout the year .Typical of the general trend of

opinion was the reply of Thelma

Coffman: "The final exam shoul d

not be so decisive in determining

your year's grade. Many peopl eget vepy nervous when confronted

with a big exam. 1 think daily

class work alone should count

about half on final mark" .Marjorie Pinton was opposed t o

any form of large examination .

"I don't think there should be any

exams, Our year's marks shoul d

be based on class assignments an d

small tests" .

LAST NIGHT STUDYReflected in many of their opin-

ions was the feeling that the pres-ent system encouraged student s

to leave all their work till th e

last part of the term .

Expressing this idea, Doree n

Deegan, Secretary of Arts '45, said

"If frequent tests were give nthroughout the terns, we woul d

have to I :c p up in our work" .

• HARVEY DRYDEN, Editor-in -

Chief of the Manitoban whic h

is the official organ of the Un-

iversity of Manitoba, has bee n

fired by the U. M. S. U. executive

because of their lack of confidence

in him. The action on' the part o f

the Executive was taken followin g

an article by Mr. Dryden which re -

sulted in some difficulty with th eVictory Loan Committee. A newEditor-in-Chief, Earle Beattie, wa sappointed immediately following

Mr. Dryden's removal .

A firm belief is held by Mr. Dry-

den that the Executive was un-justified in its action . He had con-

ridered raising a petition for aspecial meeting of the jf .M .S,UCouncil . However l" feared tha t

his staff would he disrupted, the ywere all for him, and he wante d

to see the weak continue . Mr .

will, by rrangement with Dean

Finlayson of the faculty of Ap-plied Science, be able to take th ecourse after their return fro m

camp .

The problem which confrontedgraduating students last year, o fhaving to leave camp early in or -

der to attennd the Convocation

ceremony has been overcome thi syear by commencing the cam pperiod earlier through shortening

of the examination period .

Dryden stated that he believedthat Mr. Beattie could handle th ework of Editor-in-Chnel success -fully .

Mr . Beattie, recognized the ab-

ility of Mr . Dryden, re-appointed

him as an associate editor for th erest of the term. Mr. Dryden ,

concerned only with the work of

the paper, accepted .

Similar action was taken at thi s

University by the President o fU .B.C . in 1931 . Ronny Grantham ,Editor-in-Chief at the time, wrot ean editorial criticizing the facult y

for tearing up the Ubyssey paper .

He was consequently fired fromthe staff after a meeting of the

Japanese

students

Evacuated

• AT LEAST two Japanese stu -dents, both unnaturalized, have

had to leave the university underthe Dominion Governments reg-

ulations providing for evacuationof B.C. Nipponese .

These twb, both males, are leav-

ing through the natural course ofevents and, contrary to the belieffelt in some quarters, have notreceived any special considerationas university students .

Registrar C. B. Wood revealsthat any such Japanese under -graduates would be allowed ontheir request to write their finalexaminations at any other Can-

adian university centre. This isa customary procedure for stu-

dents unable to write their examsduring the regular U .B .C. sched-ule .

The rhythm section, composed ofReifel, drums, Carl Bingham,piano, Pat Lane, slap base, andBill Peterson, guitar, althoughplaying together for the first time ,fitted In well with the band'sstyle, supplying a nice, steadydrive and backing up the solowork of Nimmons, McCulloch andAlmond .

The addition of Wally Reid' strombone, and Bill Harrison's sec-ond trumpet, fills out a brass sec-

tion with real "sock", Reid com-bining with McColloch for manypretty brass duets .

Although good on ensemblework, the saxes show a prevalencefor sloppy phrasing, need morebite . Denny Leong, hot tenor man ,lacks a strong tone but drives wel lwith the section . Hardworking Le nKorsch, second alto, and ByronEstey, second tenor, fill out th ereeds .

By far the best vocalist to sin gwith the band is Jean Folkardwith a voice geelity that is def-

initely a crowd pleases .

Of Airline Progress

Almost all students are agreed that theoffer of the government to grant leave fro marmy camp to men, providing they will beengaged in a war industry this summer, i san excellent one and they appreciate it verymuch. It will mean that those men intend-ing to come back to university next yearwill have half a month longer to earn th enecessary finances .

However, although the plan suits mos tstudents to perfection, there is one largegroup on the campus who fail to see muchadvantage in it. This group comprises thethrid and fourth year sciencemen, thoseembryo engineers who always have to at -tend surxey school or machine shop for twoweeks after the regular term ends .

Last year these students fitted both thiscourse and army camp into the month ofMay by taking the science practical duringthe first two weeks and going to camp thelast two. But because there is only going tobe one camp this year, during the first tw o

Last November Students' Council, act-ing on a suggestion of the Ubyssey, create da body called the War Aid Council whoseduty was "To revitalize and co-ordinateU.B.C.'s war effort," Membership in thiscouncil was fixed at twenty-four, some ap-pointed directly by Students' Council, an dsome appointed by the various organization swho were given representation by thataugust body.

Since its inauguration, the War Ai dCouncil, led most ably by president DorothyHird, has done commendable work. TheMile of Pennies Drive, I .S.S. Week, and thecurrent Victory Bond Campaign are pro -ducts of its energetic efforts for direct mone ycontributions . The scheme for organizingcategory "E" men as A .R.P. wardens is anexample of its accomplishments in othe rdirections.

Nevertheless, as the weeks have passe dit has become increasingly apparent that th e

• WITH AN EYE to ensuring student ap-preciation of their spring play, TH E

RIVALS, the Players' Club recently un-leashed HER SCIENCEMAN LOVER, aruptured masterpiece of mine which ran fo rsix weeks in and around Cloverdale befor eits pursuers finally trapped it, panting in anearby field .

Last Monday noon, after spending apleasant hour tagging around after littl emen, watching them put up signs with m yname on them, I decided to float into th eTheatre and find a seat from which I couldeasily and quickly reach the stage whe nthey unexpectedly begged me to come upand take a bow .

Whistling snatches of "I'll See YouAgain", I sauntered up to the door, myright hand poised in my coat pocket, withthe thumb hanging outside in an insouciantmanner, and my eye-lids drooping artistical-ly, to create a general Noel Coward effect .Unfortunately, as I had also been rehearsin ga keen, steely look, in case el joined theAir Force, I ended up with a sort of cross-eyed squint, like an ostrich with a bee on itsbeak.

In any case, I did not succeed in strol-ling past the man at the door. On the con-trary, he seized my arm and snapped, i nwhat I thought was a rather brusque way :

"Put a dime in the bottle, buddy! "

I drew myself up, readjusting the carna-tion in my lapel before I realized I did no thave one there .

"Sir? " I said stiffly, dusting off mysleeve. "I am the author of this play . "

"You can take that up with God later,"snarled this unpleasant individual. "Put adime in the bottle, Rockefeller, and stopblocking the door . "

"I refuse to pay money to see my ownplay!" I roared, whereupon ; was constern-ated to see a number of people shrug thei rshoulders in that's-good-enough-for-me fash-ion, and leave the building .

I strode out into the hall, looped aroundthe quad, and came up on the other door .This time I added a dash of weasel to th eNoel Coward routine, and tried slitheringthrough in the middle of a group of people .

`"Where do you think you 're going ,Shadow'?" enquired n voice, supported bya foot hooked around my legs .

"1 am the author of this play'!" I criedunhappily. "I demand to be allowed to goin for nothing! "

weeks of May, the survey and machine sho pschools have been scheduled for the latte rpart of the month so the engineers may at -tend after army camp . Thus, an excuse fro mcamp to work would be of little use to ascienceman who had to wait around till th eend of May to finish his course out here.

Would it not be possible for the militaryauthorities to stretch a point and grant thesemen leave from camp, on the strength o ftheir proofs that they will be working i nwar industries, so that they may take surve yand machine schools the first two weeks inMay? If they could do this, the sciencemenwould be able to complete their years andbe ready to work the middle of May, thu ssaving two weeks, the same as all the othe rstudents who will benefit from the plan .

Theoretically, these men could be obtainingleave from an army camp to be held the las ttwo weeks of the month . If everybody gotleave from, it, then there would not have t obe any camp .

brunt of its activities are being carried byonly a few vitalty interested students. Theother members of the Council seem to havedropped by the wayside; the average at-tendance at the weekly meetings is ten in-stead of twenty-four.

Considering that this is the first yearsuch a body has been organized, there arebound to be faults in its construction andfunctioning. Criticism from various source shas claimed it is not truly representative ofstudent opinion (always a lovely lookingargument to be levelled at any group on edoes not agree with. )

Next Thursday noon the War Aid Coun-cil will hold its last meeting of the term,which ALL members are required to attend.At this meeting suggestions for next year'will be received and discussed . This will bethe time for any' criticisms to be aired . TheWar Aid Council knows it isn 't perfect; itwill welcome suggestions for improvement .

"They all go in for nothing," he chuckl-ed, "but they have to pay a dime to see it . "

"I shall inform Johnny Carson!" I shout-ed, tearing fluff from my coat pocket .

"I am Johnny Carson," he smiled be-nignly from about a foot over my head."What do you want to inform me of? "

I swallowed hard .

"Did you know U .S. Steel was up thre epoints?" I asked weakly, dropping a dime inthe bottle .

Reassembling my dignity, I stampeddown ,the aisle, delighted to note all thepeople with their heads turned in my direc-tion, smiling, nodding, and waving thei rhands .

For some obscure reason they stoppedthis when the pretty, little blond who wa swalking just in front of me stepped into arow and sat down. The -light must have gon ebad, I guess .

I found a seat, and was soon listeningimpatiently to Mr. Reifel's orchestra . It be-came evident that this group was good t othe point of being impertinent . A bunch ofmesmerized musicians threatening to over-shadow my play completely . I tried glower-ing of the people sitting around, but the ypersisted in applauding in a disgusting dis-play of approval .

When Mr. Reifel finally yielded th estage, Mr. Salt, and a few other trusted col -leagues with me in the Press Row, rose an dprepared to leave, grumbling about onlyhearing three numbers .

"You can't get your money back now,you know! " I said hotly, pushing them backdown as nonchalantly as possible .

When the skit started, I suddenly foundmyself prematurely laughing at parts Ithought would be funny, and laughing allalone. I caught myself breaking into fits ofapplause while the rest of the audience seem-ed to be lost in deep reveries, ,, ,,

The play finally ended and, yelling ,"Author!Author!", I leapt up into the wings ,where I waited anxiously for someone topush me reluctantly onto the stage . Onceout there, staring into a mass of pink faces ,like so many cantaloupe halves, I forgot mycarefully practiced bow and rushed off, wild -eyed, babbling :

"Don' let them get me! Don't let themget me! "

That's all I remember .

. 'LETTERS TOTHE EDITO R

March 1, 1942Editor, The Ubyssey ,

Dear Sir :

An editorial in Friday's lame be-moans the lack of Canadian na-tionalism. But this is not some-

thing that we should bemoan butsomething we should be thankful

for .Nationalism has been) the great-

est menace to civilization in thelast century and a half. It wasFrench nationalism that produce d

the wars that ruined France in the

reign of Louts XIV., and a centur ylater produced the frightful car-

nage of the Napoleonic conquests.

German nationalism awoke in the

wars of 1866 to 1870, led Germany

into the ruinous World War I ., and

has driven her again into anothe r

suicidal adventure . Italian na-

tionalism has put Italy into the

paths of aggression . Japanese na-

tionalism has the same effect . And

it was nationalism, the idea i n

every country that it must no t

surrender one iota of its national

sovereignty to a World Authority,

that rendered the success of th e

League of Nations, impossible .

Yes, nationalism threatens to des -

troy our civilization, and unless

this petty regional spirt can soo n

he transsen,led by an all embrac-

ing love of hum,cnity, there is littl e

hope that we will not descend into

a new Dark Age .

There is a patriotism that i s

worthy. It says: "This is my

country. I will live and die for it ;

live and die to make its contri-bution to human progress great. "

But nationalism says: "This is my

country and my god . Its peopl e

are a superior race worthy to rul e

the world . I will lilve and die t o

make it powerful ." This spirit i s

a curse .Yours truly ,

Leslie E . Drayton .

Editor, The Ubyssey ,

Dear Sir :Visitors from other Canadia n

end American campuses have often

remarked on the absence of a glee

club on this campus. It appears

that our institution is almost uni .

que in this respect.

Here, however, we have an or-

ganization that makes an addi-

tional demand of its members :

that they have acting ability as

well as vocal prowess : a demand

which unfortunately is very sel-

dom answered, as witnessed b y

most of their productions in the

past, and above all by the curren t

debacle.

A convenient and proven solu-

tion would be the replacement o f

the existing society with a glee

club. This would achieve tw o

ends: music within the capabil-

ities of the existing talent could

be produced; and numerous stu-

dents wth vocal talent, but no de -

sire to act, would be able to tak e

an active interest .

One great disadvantage the pres-

ent Society has is that the produc-

tion of a single opera limits the

variety of music that can be sung,

and indeed Gilbert and Sulliva n

is not particulaily eppenling t o

many as a musicm slat, Organiz-

ation of a glee club in oppositio n

three or four yg ees . . ago proved o.

fuilui. Cannot, then, some mov e

I e mill( to reorganize the present

After Some0 Time

By DORWIN BAIRD

• WHEN the official en-

velope arrived he had

opened it with a careles s

sort of gaiety that betraye d

his real feelings . At last i t

had happened, and, like

when a man dies, his whole

life was swirling before his

eyes. By the time that en-

velope was opened, he woul d

know that he was in the

army, that from now on som e

small part of "the job" was

going to be his, no matter

what he could try to do a-bout it .

He tore the paper slowly,

deliberately, thinking the

while. Somebody, in a talk

on the radio, had said: this

was a great era in which tobe young. Huh, he thought,

there wasn't anything greatabout war.

He tore the paper slowly, dazedsomewhat by the cavalcade of pic-tures that printed themselves inquick succession on his mind. Greatto be young . . . wouldn't it beLetter to be 18 again . . . to beback in high school? Wouldn' tit be better to go back to a lifewhere Saturday night shows an dhikes up Grouse on Sundays wereall that mattered ?

SUCCESSFULOr even . . . and this though t

was brighter . . . wouldn't it bebetter to be back at varsity again ?Back where life, all told, was farfrom serious, and where you wer eshielded from the things In lifethat could come up and woundyou over and over again till yousuffered, deeply, in the mind .

Things had been different sinc e"school" stopped . Oh, he couldn' tcomplain . He had gone places,done things, met people. Hewasn't thirty yet, but he had whatothers called a "respectable place"in the community. He was a suc-cess . . . measured by all thosestandards you put up for yoursel fbefore you enter business . Thingshad come hi way .

He half pulled the notice out ofthe envelope . . . not looking at i tyet . . . still thinking, his min dmoving with the speed that comesto it onl ywhen some hard blow i sgoing to strike . He thought of thegirl who was ready, whenever hegave the word, to share life wit hhim . He thought of the undefin-able thing he had 1 wilt up fo rhimself , , . some called it socia lstanding .

CATCH WORD SHe thought too of all the catc h

words he had heard from others. . . words about the war . . . word she had heard so often they nolonger carried sense . Phrases . . ."our bounden duty" . . . "a betterworld for all" . . . "where theweak shall be protected" . . . alot of phrases . He hadn't worrie dmuch al'out them .

The notice was out of the en-velope . There was no escapin git now. Three weeks . Not longfor a "busy mar," to wind up hisafairs . Not long for a youth ful lof the joy of living to make hi slast rounds of the places he mightnot see for a few years.

In a way . . . not the trite way. . . he was sorry for himself . . ,wanted others to be the same way .

CAUGHT IN THE DRAFTThere was no use telling him of

the millions of others like hi mwho had met the same problem ,the thousands of them who hadit solved MI. them, in a way tha twas so final . Mass figures don' tappeal to a young man at a mom-ent like that . It takes somethingpersonal . That something came .

It was another young man h eknew . . . the same age . A youngman who had gone through thesame university, who loved livin gas well . A young man who camedown in flames to be laid in achurchyard in the same villagewhere Shakespeare wrote playsthat expressed almost every greatthought that ever went throughthe mind of an Englishman.

The notice went into his insidepocket . His eyes returned t osparkle as they did before . , . hi smouth spoke the same gay thing s. . . only his heart was different .

Across the office desk anothe rman worked . The young mancoughed a bit, smiled, gained th eother's attention .

"Well Joe, I've been drafted . "

• CONCLUDING that one of themain reasons why social func-

tions are not held in Brock Hallduring the term is the fact thatcatering is unsatisfactory, Studen tCouncil this week set up a com-mittee to investigate possibilitiesof improving the service for nextyear.

"The food served in the Brockfor seventy-five cents a plate doesnot compare with that obtainableat downtown cabarets, and that isthe reason faculty banquets an dother functions are not stagedhere", said Rod Morries, newlyelected A .M.S. president, in urg-ing that, some action be taken toremedy' conditions .

The committee, consisting o fTed McBride, Lois Nicholson, RodMarries and Arvid Backman, planto consult the Administration witha view to making food and facil-ities in Brock Hall more attract-ive for student social functions.

PORT ~ INFORMATIONINTRA-MURAL

By MR. MAURY VAN VL11T

• THE QUESTION has been asked many times during thelast few weeks, "Why all this sudden interest In intra -

mural sports and are they strictly for the fraternities? "The answer to the first point is that the interest ha s

always bten there but needed to be expressed through mor eteams representing smaller groups rather than the facultiesand classes . As foil the second point, the program is design -ed as an antra-mural plan for the pleasure of every male onthe campus who wishes to participate, not any select group .Elsewhere on these pages will be found a description of elig -ibility rules and other features for next year ,

Since the outbreak of the war we have been aware o fa great deal of crusading for "physical fitness" . It is hopedthat the broadening of sporting opportunities on our campu swill not only condition the men taking part, but will develo pmore mental alertness . "Physical fitness" is not enough tostrive for, we need fitness in all things, not just the physical .Consequently, calesthenic drills, setting-up exercises, an dother forms of physical sessions with mental naps are no tsufficient, but only a means to an end—when we have noother means.

Aristotle once said, "The results of physical educatio nare not limited to the body alone, but they extend even t othe soul itself." It should be poticed that he said "physica leducation", not listless arm waving with a full knee bend o rphysical jerks (how I abhor that term), or some equally in -ane expression .

This type of physical education which encourages one' smind to function during vigorous body movement include sthe intra-mural sports program which is rapidly developin ginto one of the most important phases of campus life in ever yuniversity on this continent

The facilitt s available on this campus offer many op-po tunitiee which have been enjoyed by a minority groupof motor-minded athletes, Many students have not knownjust what to do about getting into some form of sport andothers have felt that some superman prerequisites werenecessary before heading in the general direction of thegymnasium or stadium.In the future , physical education on this campus shouldbe looked upon as a huge triangle with inter-collegiate andother outsid e competition forming the peak, intra-muralsports making up the center or bulk of the figure and thebase made firm by class instruction in various skills andfundamentals necessary for participation or ability in themany phases of Physical Education.

An intra-mural hand-book will be available nex t fallfor the first time in the history of the University . A calendarof the year's events will be listed as well as a constitution,eligibility rules , entrants requirements and a complete recordof this year's activities . Champions declared this year willremain so unti l their record has been broken . The intra-mural director and committee feel that with perhaps a thous -and men competing next year every record should be broken .

Here is an opportunity to get mentally and physicall yfit for the present crisis in a very enjoyable manner as wel las assisting in developing a program which will be the back -bone of campus spirit in the years to come .

If your favorite sport has been over-looked or yo uhave some worthwhile suggestion for next year 's intra-muralprogram drop around and let the intra-mural committe eknow about it .

This is your program! If it doesn't suit you or is notcompletely successful, you will have only yourself to blame .The tools will be furnished—can those academic bodie shands the job?

to the high degree of physical fit-ness in the ranks of Its army an dcivilian population.

With the view in mind of gettingthe students in a wartime oandi-tion of physical fitness, and'simul-taneously supplying them with along sought recreational need, thenew, wider, antra-mural plan hasbeen evolved .

Competition Offered In Every SportThe vest new scheme will involve

upwards of fifteen totuvuunenta ,with no low than $73.300 Individualmatches, and probably upwards of1,000 men. The use of the Arm-ouries will facilitate training andplaying of the competitions, as willthe proposed playing field to beconstructed North of the Gymnas-

column, )In this new plan there will al-

ways be ample materiel fromwhich to select full teams for anysport, and the present, somewhattiring process of becoming phys-ically fit will be replaced by a ne wand better system whereby enjoy -ment and fitness are gleaned atthe same time.

To create further a feeling of in-terest and enthusiasm in the intra-mural field, there will be cupspresented to the winners in everycompetition, and accurate andcomplete records will be kept ofwinning times, high scorers, andany other records established Inthe competitions. These recordsrecords will be printed each yearin the antra-mural handbook, a-vailable to all students.

At the and of each year's comp-etition there will be held a smoker,where the grand cup will be pre-sented to the winning group, and

the Intra-Mural game, givin gthem something to "shoot at " .

rosh will be especially inter-ested in this complete handbookbecause it will give the first yea rmen plans on how to organiz eclubs, the necesary eligibility rule sfor the contestants, together witha tentative schedule on the year' sprogram .This handbook, a completely newfeature on next year ' s set-up wil lbe available to all the male stu-dents on the campus .

Harry Franklin Gives Referee's Eye View On Intramural Sport Contest s• THIS COULD BE a great chance to "kick back" on the

boys who play—in much quicker syllables, the "blin dTom ref" holds the verbal hand o'er the whistle batters .

But we waive that opportunity to tell our impressions o fthe current intra-mural program .

From our position, we witnessed a smattering of whatwent on, and how, and why things turned out as successfull yas they did . Spirit, people, spirit .

True, there was already much potential rivalry beforethe competition opened in the form of social ties . But what-ever made for the hotly contested matches 'twixt foes, an dfriends for that matter, certainly aided to put it over .ORGANIZATION

Still ( why should a group of twenty to forty men tak esuch an interest in a sports program that formerly was quitedormant and whose participants prefered the lackadasica lattitude ?

Organization, friend, organization .Now that last remark is not so much an awkward sla p

on the back to the intra-mural director and his assistants a smuch as it is a compliment to the intra-mural team repre -sentatives themselves . In fact, these same committeemen HARRY FRANKLIN

RECORD GOODYes, it is all democratic and we might add, efficient .But the success of the program has hinged on th e

participants themselves . In approximately 40 basketballgames to date, not one has been forfeited . And the contestshave started on time—at scheduled times .

But why stand back and admire ourselves and gloa tover our accomplishments . Perhaps, they are not so astound-ing. If future plans bear any weight at this stage in th e

game, this year's activity will be but a drop in the inkwel l

outline and organize the entire list of events, consequently,

as compared to 1942-43 . In other columns, you may hav edoing what the majority of participants would want to do,

gathered some idea of what is to be expected—pleasant, wet ?Quite happily, they have acknowledged the fact that thi sis their program

Since January 6, 1942, team representatives have heldtheir weekly conclave regularly at 3 :30 Tuesday afternoons .Here, reports on the outcome of various games have bee nmade, future plans outlined, and comments or suggestion splaced before Chairman M . L. Van Vliet. These in turn ,have been referred to a smaller gathering who submit plansfor the vote .

Anyway, intra-mural sports as a counter-part to agigantic physical fitness program will start in September, no twaylaid 'til January—and the entire shootin' match is opento every male on this green campus .ENTHUSIAS M

Maybe you can appreciate how enthusiastic M . L. VanVliet, Director of Physical Education, feels over the curren toutlook . Perhaps, you—who would jump at the chance totake part in this set-up—are eager toenter the fun . Let me,tell you here, pal, play "within the walls" will commenc ewith such vim and gusto next year that you'll hold your ha tand cry, "Gee whiz!"Basketball with crowded locker rooms and cros scountry with gruelling ordeals will be back again . Golf,featuring hooks and slices, and ping pong with high nets an dshort tables, along with swimming and screwy candle stickracers—all that will grace the list of events . And injectedinto the into the lineup will be t,,lleyball, tennis badminton ,bowling—perhaps soccer and handball—(you name it, w egot i1! )

Awards Da Cancelled; Smoker Planned Soon

Such a race is planned to givethe men running a chance to de-velope their military map read-ing powers and at the same timetake part in an open contest aspart of the antra-mural program .

• This Year's Data

BY HARRY FRANKLIN

• VARSITY aportsdom was not let down this year!

If you doubt that statement, look at the phenomenal

record of intra-mural sports on the Thunderbird campus, and

then contrast the figures with any set of statistics ever gath-

ered in previous years . Then, youmight easily understand

why most male students at U .H.C. have followed M. L. Van

Vllet's successful program.

First, with the opening of the new year, basketball

teams, numbering eleven and consisting Qf ten players each ,

began a hectic schedule that will carry them into the middle

of March. A quick glance and a little arithmetic tells us that

a good 110 men participated. In fact, at a recent game on

the gym hardwood, a spectator crowd exceeding some Senior

"A" team attendances watched two evenly matched squads

battle It out for a high spot in the standings .

Total of 55 tournament games will have been run off

in the cage competition . Enthusiasm has reached the point

where fifty per cent of the squads have purchased thei r

own strip equipment. And when a group of fellows will put

out cold cash for the sake of basketball uniforms, then it i s

a safe bet that they are taking their court game seriously .

Heading the initial tournament in the list of "specia l

events", a swimming meet at the local YMCA pool late in

January brought out that intra-mural interest once again .

At this exhibition of good swimming and clean sport, 84

individual met] took part in eight different events, and close

to 150 spectators crammed the "band box" 'Y' tank for a

full evening of water frolic . At least, half again as man y

on-lookers were turned away because of lack of sufficient

seating capacity .

Then, before the sport scribes could keep up with th e

results and schedules that go with an increased program ,

nearly 50 campus behemoths pounded the celluloid spher e

in an intra-mural University ping pong tourney, that ha d

the Armouries in use from 7:45 to 11:30 the same evening.

This also was in the form of a "special events" series . All

points earned going toward the grand intra-mural total for

the year .

All the while, almost daily, various golf squads were

playing their double knockout series on the University links .

With two men from each organization, a total of 24 Varsit y

golfers, excluding the local "smoothies", have been chipping

and putting from nigh on two months .

But to top off all expectations of what a real competitive ser-

ies can offer, 100 huskies ran the gruelling 2%-mile cros s

country February 19th over the campus course that saw be-

tween two and three hundred persons at the Stadium at th estart and finish of the race and another 200 interested spec-

tators scattered out over the entire length of the course.

Most surprising to M . L. Van Vliet, proponent o f

physical condition and especially cross country running, wa s

that many runners came up after the race and asked that a

similar competition be run in a few weeks time . Time doesnot permit another cross country but next year it will be

seen that there will be enough cross country runs to take careof the aspiring Thunderbirds .

At the present moment, besides a few meddle-some

mid-terms, intra-1nuralers are caught in the swing of soft-ball, and once again, from all indications another new highwill be struck in this popular tourney .

In this sport over 150 male students have heard "Play

Ball!" and participated in the current double knockout series .Games are scheduled so that all 12 teams are playing at thesame field at the same hour, making a sight to behold . Inspite of absence of regular workouts and everything tha tgoes with "fast" baseball, the brand of ball has been excep-tionally good .

Then, thrown in between the various tourneys andchampionship competition, a highly technical snooker nigh twent into history at the homes of two of Varsity's busier set ,Raefel and Carson .

"I 've not seen anything like it, since the days of inter -collegiate spotrs," remarked Lionel Salt, ex-sports editor o nthe Ubyssey .

And that is about the general run of split second inter -views. All comments have been favorable from the "hottest"of sources. And, believe you me, that is an accomplishmen tin itself.

Interest has become so prevalent that M . L. Van Vlietand the intra-mural committee have planner a Men 's Smokerlate in March at noon in the gymnasium . More about thelatter point in later editions fthe Ubyssey .

Of course, interest can become so great that it tt~a ybecome ridiculous. Picture if you will the Kappa Sigmaquintet challenging the second-string Varsity basketball tea mto a basketball game that was played last Wednesday. Ridic-

ulous, you say? No, brother, just good-hearted sportsman -ship that has been stirred up by this zealous demand forsome sport activity .

Yes, we can safely say, with little fear of rebuttle, tha tVarsity sportsdom has not been let down this year .

BOWLING will be twoevents featured in n e x tyear 's Intra-mural Program .These sports are being intro -duced to secure a full-round-ed set-up .

Horseshoe pits will be construc-ted on the new playing field to b ebuilt during the summer vacationnorth of the Gym. This will cer-tainly add to the interest of gameand really bring the horseshoersto the attention of the public .ALLEYS HIRED

A Bowling League will be form-ed from the competing IntramuralTeams and will be featured as realpoint-getter. The games will beplayed downtown where arrange-ments will be made to reserve theentire facilities of the alleys .

Bowling has always been con-sidered a popular sport among col-lege men. It not only adds to anantra-mural program, but afford san opportunity to engage in an ac-tivity which has "carry-over "value into later life .

Tumbling and Boxing

To Wind Up ' Year's

Intra's At Smoker

• TO WIND UP this year's intra-mural sports program,

and to introduce the enlarged sports schedule for nex t

year, a mammoth sports smoker will be held some noon hour

early in April at the Gymnasium .

At the smoker, the first of a series to be run off at theend of each intra-mural season, a complete program is to berun off which is guaranteed to be both interesting and enter-

taining .Some of the outstanding athe-

letes on the campus will be askedto give demonstrations and nxhibi.tiers d their particular skill .

A tumbling show will be pre-sented by a group of hand pickedmen who are most capable ofshowing the students the finepoints of the sport.3YME WILL BOX

M.A.D. Changes;Insurance Seen• SWEEPING CHANGES in the intra-mural program on

the campus are being paralleled by the Men 's AthleticDirectorate who are discussing plans to reorganize in orderto administer more efficiently the entire athletic set-up atU .B .C .

.

e

One main topic of the Director-ate's last meeting was the recon-stituting of its membership. As i t

now stands, M,A,D., which is the

controlling body on all campu s

sports, consists of two faculty re-presentatives, the director of phys-ical education, the president of

M,A,A., the president of the Bi gBlock club, and one other studentrepresentative .

NEW MEMBER SUGGESTEDIt Is felt by members of th e

Directorate that too specialized arepresentative system has resultedin which members of the councilhave narrowed, athletic interest.Propwels, as they stand now, arethat a representative be includedfrom the Ubyssey sports staff .

Appointment of a member fromthe Ubysey sports department,one committeeman pointed out ,would tend. to break down the

specialization of M.A.D. "The U-byssey sports editor has to knowsomething about every sport on

the campus, " he said, "and wecould use his knowledge and ad -

vice . "

Also under discussion by theDirectorate, in line with the pro-limed changes in the intra-muralprogram,• is a comprehensive

scheme to provide athletic insur-ance against injury ,

INSURANCE SCHEMEOver two hundred male students

are participating in this year's pro-gram, and the enrolment for nex t

year should at least treble. This

meats that danger of injury is in -creased three-fold.

At present, no provision is madeto recompense a University ath-lete, injured while playing for

U .B.C. The cases of Evann Davies,who sustained a broken ankleplaying rugby in Victoria, find ofArt Johnson, who lost a fronttooth playing basketball are goodIllutarations of the need for someform of athletic Insurance.

Then, too, Norm Burnett, M .A.D .

committee man spent severalweeks on crutches as a result ofan injury sustained in the gym .

MONEY RAISING SCHEMESThe Directorate feels that shoul d

a scheme of insurance be set up,with a grant received from Coun-cil, money raised by the stagingof benefit games, and a committeeset up to administer benefits toneedy cases, it would, in time,lead to a comprehensive insuranceprogram for the entire University,and cover injuries received in lab-oratory work, and other academi cpursuits.

With this in mind, then, theM.A.D. have submitted severalsuggestions to Students' Councilfor their approbation . Results oftheir investigations should beready for publication In the nearfuture .

Success Chances RatedOne in Ten By Bankers

By VIVIAN VINCENT

• THE CHANCES OF success for the average Universitystudent are rated as being one in ten by Mr . E. Scheidel,

manager of the Sasamat branch of the Bank of Montreal, bu tas a future investment based on the fact that the students o ftoday will be the professional men of to-morrow the carryingof student accounts will prove to be profitable .

Mr. Schledel stated that in thethree years he has been manager ,he has never found a student whohas tried to put anything over onthe bank. University students are100 percent honest.

Graduate students who have re-quired assistance to travel to theeast to fill positions there havenever failed to repay their debts .

M. W. Allan, manager of theCanadian Bank of Commerce onSaeamat, although he has onlybeen there for three months, findsstudents very easy to deal withand it is one of the bright spots

New Plan CallsFor Tentative'42 ,'43 Budgets• KEITH PORTER, Treasurer of

the A .M,S ., has announced th eformation of a new scheme to fa-cilitate the drawing-up of the in -coming Treasurere's preliminarybudget.

In the very near future, presi-dents of all campus clubs will besent a form on which to estimat eapproximately what their require-ments for next year will be . Thi sis to be endorsed by both the ol dand new presidents and returne dto the Council member underwhose supervision their club falls .

The fact that much of the redtape has been abolished in Can-adlan banking makes it muchmore pleasant to enter a bank .Today an air of cordiality is en-couraged, ,he concluded .

in busines to have them come in .There is much less risk in deal-

ing with students in banking titan .sactons than with the general pub-lic is the conclusion he has com eto.

Mr. Allan said that professorsare prety nice people to deal withtoo, although there are a few ex-ceptions Junior members of thestaff find them to be quite atrial though, because they neve rknow when the professors are kid-ding or not.

Many advantages are apparentto such a plan. Showers are al -ready installed, there is room for

many games, and the light, heat,and height of the building are suf-

ficlent to allow most indoor gamesto be run off easily .

FACILITIE S

Three indoor tennis courts, threevolley ball courts, and eight orten badminton courts could befitted in comfortably . In additionto these, boxing and wrestlin g

rings can be set up in the build-ing, and a three wall handbal l

court can be constructed .The armories is an ideal spot for

this developement . This year, the

ping pong tourney was run off inone evening in the building, show-ing just how fast and easy it wouldbe to complete other such matches.The building is centrally located,and has great possibilities for beingturned into a training center for

any and all sports .

GREAT POSSIBILITIES"When the war is over, the

armouries could be turned into anew gymnasium to seat five thous-

Touch rugby, soccer, spcedhall ,and many other grid games can b e

played on the field, It can be th escene of all the intra-mura l

: .[,oils requiring a field . The Sta-

dium field wil be reserved for th elarger Vanity games requiring astandad gridiron .

All around the field are to belocated other sporting apparatus

and equipment . Spots for high andbroad jump pits, pole vault lay -outs, and horseshoe pitches are i n

the mind of the promoter of th escheme Mr. Van Vliet, who hope s

to make the field the sportin gcentre for the next year .

It is also hoped to be able to

supply an outlet for interest i narchery, arrangements having al -ready been completed to purchase

some equipment for the men . Thi siderr is spreading and it is certai nthat many men will be intereste d

in what has always been consid-ered a girl's sport on the Campus .

Such a development will arous ethe sporting spirit on the campus ,for it will offer a spot for easyplaying in all competitive gridgames ,

D.U., Phi Delts

First game to be played duringthe week in the lntra-Mural base -ball schedule will be fought ou ttoday noon when the D .U. and thePM Deft baseball nines clash onthe upper soccer field .

Both teams have won one an dlost one in the previous basebal lmatches . Time set for the tilt Is12;30,

and people, and here the big in-tercollegiate games could be held. "Harry Franklin, one of the keymen in the new set up stated with

conviction and enthusiasm . "Wehope that the proposed scheme

can be accomplished without up-setting any of the military aspectsof the building ." Harry added .

The way this is to be done issimple . Post holes, with metal flapcoverings, will be drilled in thearmouries floor wherever they arerequired . Removeable,' correctheight posts will be quicklybrought out and set up, Tehn thenets required will be lowered fro mthe ceiling by a system of pulleys .The whole thing should take onlyfour or five minutes at the most ,and even less time will be neces-sary to put the apparatus away.

Such a training and athleticcentre is badly needed, with, thegymnasium being In continuoususe by the military gym classes .This proposed scheme will solvethe whole problem of an indooriritra-mural playing and trainin gfield.

After the game, students skatedfor an hour and a half, to themusic, not of the Varsity band,but to recorded disks by courtesyof the Forum. The crowd on theice was not too big, and not tttoosmall, for there were no adversecomments .

The game opened slowly, withthe wild playing that was to bethe rule showing up Immediately.Rushing up and down the ice In

a series of drives that served toconfuse the spectators only, th etwo teams turned in as ragged aperformance as can be imagined .But the first period ended with noscore for either team .

New Playing Field

North of Gym May

Be Built For Murals

• AS PART of the new intra-mural program for next year ,

a small-scale playing field, measuring perhaps 80 by 4 0

yards may be cleared and constructed north of the Gym-

nasium. "It will probably be merely a dirt field, at least for

the duration of the war," Mr . Van Vliet said last Monday .

There are two main reasons fo r

the smaller sized field, In thefirst place it woul cost less, andwould be easier to construct . Inthe second place, it would give en-

thusiasts who are not really goo d

atheletes a chance to play withou t

the severe hardship involved inplaying on a standard field .

half had started they scored to putthem in the lead an dtake th egame .

The game and hart fighting Var-sity men fought back but failed toscore. With but five minutes to gountil the final whistle, they stag-ed a determined rush on the win-ners' net . But no tally resulted ,

This was the last game of th eyear for the Thunderbird soccerteam.

LINEUP: Young, Roach, Louie,

Green, T o d d, Sasaki, Morten ,

Oughten, Smith, North, Kermode ,

and Tupper,

Pat Butler of the Lions. Both menwere given penalties.

In the third period, U.B .C . rangup two more net counters, but thiswas incidental to the nasty ac-cident which occured when Jac kShilabeer collided with an uniden-tified Junior Lions man, who wasthought to have sustained a skullfracture, but who p later was foundto be suffering from only a minorhead injury .

The Froth played a great gameand came within two points o ftying the game up in the last fiveminutes but here the Sperlingaggregation took control and putthe game on ice.

Standouts for the Fresh wereDave Haywood, Bruce Yorke an dDon Mann. These three turned in

a sparkling performance for thei rlast game of the season ,

Many advantages are apparentto such a plan . Showers are al -ready installed, there is room formany games, and the light, heat ,

and height of the building are suf-ficient to allow most indoor gamesto be run off easily ,

FACILITIE SThree indoor tennis courts, three

volley ball courts, and eight orten badminton courts could befitted In comfortably, In addition

to these, boxing and wrestlingrings can be sot up In the build-

ing, and a three wall handballcourt can be constructed.

The armories is an ideal spot forthis developement . This year, theping peng tourney was run off in

one evening In the building, show-ing just how fast and easy it woul d

be to complete other such matches .The building is centrally located,and has great possibilities for bein g

turned into a training center forany and all sports.

GREAT POSSIBILITIE S"When the war is over, the

armouries could be turned into a

new gymnasium to seat five thous -

Touch rugby, soccer, spcedball ,

and many other grid games can h eplayed on the field . It can be th e

scene of all the infra-mura lworts requiring a field . The Sta-dium field wil be reserved for th e

larger Varsity games requiring astandad gridiron .

All around the field are to belocated other sporting apparatu s

and equipment . Spots for high an, l

broad jump pits, pole vault lay -outs, and horseshoe pitches are inthe mind of the promoter of thescheme Mr. Van Vliet, who hope sto make the field the sportin gcentre for the next year .

It is also hoped to be able t o

supply an outlet for interest i n

archery, arrangements having al -ready been completed to purchaseLome equipment for the men, Thi s

idea is spreading and it is certainthat many men will be interestedin what has always been consict-ered a girl ' s sport on the Campus.

Such a development will arous ethe sporting spirit on the campus ,

for it will offer a spot for easyplaying in all competitive gri dgames .

First game to be played durin gthe week in the Intra-Mural base-ball schedule will be fought ou ttoday noon when the D .U. and thePM De t baseball nines clash onthe upper soccer field .

Both teams have won one an dlost one in the previous basebal lmatches. Time set for the tilt i s12 :30,

and people, and here the big in-tercollegiate games could be held."Harry Franklin, one of the keymen in the new set up stated withconviction and enthusiasm. "We

hope that the proposed schemecan be accomplished without up-setting any of the military aspectsof the building." Harry added .

The way this is to be done issimple. Post holes, with metal flapcoverings, will be drilled in th earmouries floor wherever they arerequired . Removeable, ; correctheight posts will be quicklybrought out and set up. Tehn thenets required will be lowered fromthe ceiling by a system of pulleys.The whole thing should take onlyfour or five minutes at the most ,and even less time will be neces-sary to put the apparatus away.

Such a training and athleti ccentre Is badly needed, with, thegymnasium being in continuoususe by the military gym classes .This proposed scheme will solvethe whole problem of an Indooriritra-mural playing and trainingfield .

fense of the Vancouver Junior Lions for a 5 .2 victory inthe feature game last Friday night at the Forum, with agood turn out of University students to root the boys on t oa win, The game was a disgrace to good hockey, but noone seemed to object to it except the one Junior Lions manwho had to be carried off the ice "out cold " .FREE SKATING

After the game, students skatedfor an hour and a half, to themusic, not of the Varsity band,but to recorded disks by courtesyof the Forum. The crowd on theice was not too big, and not \toosmall, for there were no adversecomments.

The game opened slowly, withthe wild playing that was to bethe rule showing up immediately.Rushing up and down the foe I na series of drives that served t oconfuse the spectators only, thetwo teams turned in as ragged aperformance as can be imagined.But the first period ended with noscore for either team .

New Playing FieldNorth of Gym MayBe Built For Murals• AS PART of the new intra-mural program for next year,

a small-scale playing field, measuring perhaps 80 by 40yards may be cleared and constructed north of the Gym-nasium. "It will probably be merely a dirt field, at least forthe duration of the war ." Mr. Van Vliet said last Monday .

There are two main reasons for

the smaller sized field. In the

first place it woul cost less, andwould be easier to construct . In

the second place, it would give en-

thusiasts who are not really goo datheletes a chance to play withou tthe severe hardship involved in

playing on a standard field .

NOTICE: Students who are avail -able for teaching positions this

September are requested to leav etheir names and details with Dr .M. A. Cameron, Department of Ed-ucation, Room V, Arts Building.
