Dr. Weir Suggests Scheme Fo rInstitute Of Preventive Medicine

Plans for centralizing all of British Columbia's preven-tive medicine efforts in one Institute of Preventive Medicineon the U .B .C. campus were discussed Saturday evening b yDr. G. M. Weir, provincial minister of health and education ,in an address before the Vancouver Institute .

"I'd like to see a half dozen new buildings at U .B.C.but most of all I would like to see an Institute of Preven-tive Medicine," Dr . Weir declared .

Speaking for himself, and not of necessity for the gov-ernment, Dr. Weir told of the advantages such an institutionwould have for the province and for the university ,

RELIEVE LABSThe building would tend to relieve overcrowding in pres-

ent bacteriology and biology labs on the campus . Its wprkwould do a great deal towards improving health standard sin the province .

Help in the building of the proposed structure, andin its maintenance might be forthcoming from the Roc-kefeller Institute and the Connaught Laboratories ofToronto.

If all health work in B. C. were concentrated in on espot, at the university, great economies could be made, Dr .Weir stated. Building, in downtown Vancouver which arepoorly designed and which hamper efficient work could b edone away with .

Mena Undergraduate Society ,was chosen Monday afternoonto head the publicity cam-paign committee, after agroup of five headed by Nor-ris Belkin resigned to makeway for a reorganization .

A new committee, still con-sisting of five members, withfew changes from the firstgroup, was elected after twosolid hours of discussion.

Body electing the commit-tee was the original group ofabout fifteen students, chose nto direct the petition whichwas shelved two weeks ago .

Finally chosen for places o nthe now-permanent committeewere : Maloolm Brown, radio ;Carson Maguire, statistics : Pau lPayne, Service clubs and speak -Oral Morris Belkin, newspapers .Present Monday were, In addi-

tion to those chosen for the pub-licity ., committee, Dave Carey, Lyall trine, John Brynelsen, KempEdmonds, Derwin Baird, Ed Diaher,Charlie Campbell, Rhein ap Robert sand others who attended for part sof the long session.

Levity was introduced at sever-al points when chairman Bird re-marked : "When we do get a com-mittee then we'll have something . "CAREY OUTSPOKE N

Repeated refusals of certain stu-dents to take any office broughtfrom Carey the observation that,"any man who has to be urge dshouldn't be on the committee . "

Service on the committee wil lentail sacrifice on the part of thos etaking part . It was noted . All pres-ent at the Monday meeting wer emissing lectures, and for a time i tseemed likely that another hourwould be necessary before any re-sults were forthcoming.

Selection of the committee wa snot accomplished without consid-erable difficulty . The meeting,which convened at 1 p .m., continuedto 3 p .m . with one short intermis-sion .

Every man chosen for a posi-tion was the centre of dieausilo nn nd controversy, In the attemptto build up a group capable an dwilling to carry on the Importantworking of educating the publi cto the needs and uses of the uni-versity .No students who have not bee n

connected with one or other of thecommittees already working waschosen for the permanent group.Outsiders will be asked to work i nsub-committees, however .

First step taken Monday was t oaccept the resignation or Helkio' scommittee, set up by the large rgroup as a temporary body electedto set the wheels of organization i nmotion . Following the work of themeeting. the large, original conyrnittee also resigned .UNEXPECTED SPEE D

Unexpected speed in the selec-tion or the last two offices on thecommittee, however, brought th esession to an end after two hours .

Brown was elected to his positio nunanimously, as was M(Cnire . Forall other offices, two-way competi-tion brought personaliVles sharpl yinto the limelight .

A constitution for the commit -tee was adopted, giving the mem-bers power to spend campaig nfunds . and adding the presidentof the A.M.S. and an official o fthe Alumni Association as ex -officio members .

20,000 VISI TU.B.C . DURIN GOPEN HOUS EA good many people visited U .

B .C.'s campus Saturday afternoonand evening to see open House Da ydemonstrations . Estimates of at-tendance centred around 20,000 ,about double. the average forecas tmade by optimists Saturday morn-ing when they saw the weathe rconditions .

Charlie Campbell, who has devot-ed hours of time to the directionof Open House preparations, ex -pressed himself as completely satts-fled with the results of his commit -tee's efforts .

COULDN'T SEE IT ALL.Main complaint heard from visi-

tors was that the show was toobig. "Nobody could see it all prop-erly in one day," many visitors tol dstudents who acted as guides .

Visitors demonstrated keen In-terest In the many exhibits o ndisplay, and expressed apprecia-tion of the work done by univer-sity research students.

AUSPICIOUS BEGINNIN GSaturday Was an auspicious com-

mencement for the publicity cam-paign now being conducted by Stu -dents' Council and a special com-mittee .

Included among the Ope nHouse visitors were many dis-tinguished citizens who were see-ing for the first time how versa -tile and far-reaching are the ac-complishments of U .E .C . student sand graduates .Every section of the campus wa s

flooded with interested crowds al lday. Even the rehearsal of "Yeo-men of the Guard" was open to thepublic, many of whom took advan-tage of the chance to see behin dthe scenes of light opera produc-tion .

CAF CROWDE DThe caf was exceptionally busy ,

with a long line of supper custom-ers being served from shortly after3 p .m . to nearly 8 p.m. Few spoteon the campus were deserted atany time (luring the afternoon andevening .

Weir 's Proposa lNot Recent Ide aSays Dre Klinc k

Institute of Preventiv eMedicine Has Long BeenTopic of Discussion

Establishment of an Institute o fPreventive Medicine at U .B.C . ,plans for which were announce dSaturday evening by Dr . G. M . .Weir, is not a recent proposal ,President Klinck told the Ubysse yMonday.

Such a building, and the service sit would render to the province ,have long been topics of discussion,the president declared .FOUR REQUESTS

in representations by the Boar dof Governors to the government ,four things have been asked, withthe hope that they would be grant-ed in the order listed .

These four major requests havebeen : 1 . A 1400,000 seml•psrman-tint building. 2. An extension t othe Library. 3. Additions to th eScience Building. 4. Institute ofPreventive Medicine.The latter was added to the lis t

when work of the Connaught Lab sat U.B.C. became organized unde rthe direction of Dr . Dolman. Theproposed institute would not of ne-cessity serve the university to agreat degree .

On the other hand . It would re-lieve some overcrowded labs, an dits presence on the campus woul dbe an asset to the university.NOT MAJOR NEE D

The building, however, is not th emajor construction required here ,the board has declared ,

Dr. Klinck noted that Dr . Weir' saddress Saturday evening showedthe trend of possible action by thegovernment in respect to assistingU.B.C. Whether or not this is th eassistance wanted is another mat -ter, he stated .

It is always easier to get publicsupport for the establishment of anew department on the campus ,than for the maintenance and ex -tension of the old, the presiden tsaid ,

EMBARRASSE D

BY VISITORS

At least half a dozen student sare wondering today just how muchactual useful knowledge can begained from academic pursuits .

During Open House on Saturday ,two chemical engineers were some -what embarrassed when the objec tof their pat little speech on therelative values and prices of cer-tain well-known paints turned outto be a representative of the fir mwhich was receiving the unfavor-able aspect of their comparison .

STRUCK DUM BOne Aggie, explaining the valu e

of the vitamins found in milk, wa sstruck utterly dumb when a wo-man interrupted him with, quote :"How do you feed a baby?" TheAggie thought that she really ough tto know more about it than him -self, and consequently ignored th equestion with supreme tact .

In the Dairying lab., two senio rstudents spent a hectic half-hou rfumbling for suitable non-commit-tal replies to pointed questions pu tby two Associated Dairies execu-tives, while an Animal Husbandr ystudent wasted fifteen minutes eu-logizing the charms of the cham-pion Ayrshire Rosalind to th edaughter of the U .B .C . dairy herds -man .

Graduating Classes

There will be an important meet-ing of senior students from all fac-ulties for the purpose of electing apermanent executive in Arts 100 a t12.15 today . it is important thatall graduating students attend .Suggestions for a class valedictor ygift will be discussed .

PREVENTIONEstablishment of an Institute of

Preventive Medicine in connectio nwith the university would be agreat stimulation to workers in thi sfield. There is a need, said thespeaker, to face the issue of pre-vention of disease, rather than it scure .

T .B. and venereal diseases inB. C. are coming underoontrol ,but much remains to be done inthe realm of prevention, Dr. WIrsaid.

"I am not speaking for the gov-ernment, but this Is where Iwould first spend money at U .B .C.," declared the speaker.Dr. Weir also spoke about the

value of work now being done bythe university, mentioning th efields of teaching, engineering, pre -medical and pre-legal study.GROWING PAINS

Arts is the central faculty of anyuniversity, he stated .

The minister congratulated stud-ents on the success of Open Hous eDay, and also spoke of the contri-butions made by U.B.C. studentsto the permanent assets of the uni-versity,

"The province is suffering edu-cationally from growing pains, "said the speaker .

Economic devices have notkept pace with social and educa-tional needs, he said In explana-tion, using U.S.Cls overcrowdingas an example .

Shackle Breaks Under

Tremendous Pressure

Visitors at the Forest Product sLaboratories Saturday afternoo nhad a few minutes of excitemen twhen a shackle holding a min ehoist cable in place broke unde ra pressure of over 100,000 pounds .

The shackle flew across th elaboratory, nearly striking on espectator . Present at the time o fthe accident were President L . S .Klinck and several special guests .

It has been drawn to the at-tention of Students' Council thata picture borrowed for Ope nHouse by the Faculty of Agricul-ture from a downtown organiza-tion has been removed by som eindividual .

We would like to suggest t othe person in question that Ope nHouse was put on by the Univer-sity and was very favorably re-ceived .

We do not want the actions o fone person to permanently im-pair that reputation and woul dappreciate any co-operation i nhaving the picture in questio nreturned, for in this rest the in-terests of the University .

WORTH A RETURN ENGAGEMEN TOf the 20,000 visitors to the U .B.C. campus Saturday,

only a few were hardy enough to be able to inspect everysection of the Open House exhibition . Properly to under -stand the interesting features of what the students had t oshow, a visitor would have to spend the entire time between1 and 10 p.m. listening to his guides explain the mysteries o fapparatus or animal .

Open House was a great success . Crowds far exceededthe expectations of all but the most optimistic, and theinterest shown by the public was such that none left withou tsome appreciation of the uses of the' university in the prac-tical life of this province . Charlie Campbell and all whoassisted him in the preparation and execution of Open Hous eare to be congratulated .

We realize that Open House necessitates a great deal ofpreparation, and that under most circumstances it can bea rrepeating on alternate years at the most . Now, however, theuniversity is faced with an unusual problem—that of rousin gpublic interest in the affairs of U.B.C. The months of pub-licity campaigning that are ahead of us will gain little incomparison to the goodwill and interest in university mattersbrought about by Open House .

Perhaps, because of the need for support for the uni-versity, it might be well for those in charge of such thing sto consider repeating Open House next year, maybe even i nthe fall term. Then the big show could be placed back on a nevery-other-year basis once more . Certainly, in view of con-ditions facing this institution, no avenue that leads to publi cgoodwill should be left untravelled.

APATHY OF THE MASSE SIt was discouraging for the Open House committee, who

put so much effort into preparations for Saturdays display ,to see the small turnout at Dr. Weir's lecture in the Auditor-ium Saturday evening. While students may not be expecte dto attend most lectures of the Vancouver Institute, it mighthave been good taste on their part to appear when the ministerof education was the speaker—especially in view of the pres-ent situation between the university and the government .

Past instances of general apathy amongst the studen tbody have been too numerous to mention. A handful of stud-ents do all the work in extra-curricular affairs, not becaus ethey want to, but because there is nobody else to do it .

When distinguished visitors are on the campus, it is th eduty of the students to greet them by being here themselves .It is good too that they be present in order to demonstrat ethat the university is crowded, for seeing is believing andthere still seems to be those who do not believe that we aresuffering from cramped conditions.

Students were hosts to the public Saturday, and a fewscore carried out this duty admirably . For the rest, littl eneed be said except that they have fallen down once more, asthey may be expected to until they realize that'the problemsof the university are those of every student in attendance .

Department Of ForestryInvaluable To Province

TH E

During the next few weeks, th eUbysaey will present severa lstories describing research an dlaboratory activities at U .B.C.Practical value of these effortsto the Industrial life of BritishColumbia will be stressed.

The Department of Forestry, as-sisted by the Dominion Forest Pro-ducts Laboratories, serves the Prov-ince of British Columbia in severalways .

Primarily, it trains young men inthe methods of forest management ,production of wood products, an dallied industries. Theer are ap-proximately thirty students in thi ssection of work, and graduates ar enearly all employed in B . C. Inresponsible positions .

At the Open House demonstra-tions, the various functions of theForestry Department were on ex-hibition with instructors to explai nthe testa ,

The Timber Mechanics section ,under the direction of Mr. J. B.Alexander, gave demonstrations o fwood-testing for various types o fstress and strain, using two ma -chines capable of producing aforce of 30,000 pounds each.

A large machine, with a top pres-

sure of 200,000 pounds, was beingused to teat the strength of manilaand steel cables . The teat for min ehoist cables, required by law onc eevery six months, is carried ou tin these laboratories, and at To-ronto .

The Timber Products division ,headed by a graduate of the Uni-versity of B. C., Mr. J. H. Jenkins ,deals with ail problems concerningthe manufacture and conditioningof wood, its storage and shipment ,utilization, and the damage don eby decay and various parasites .

The facilities of these laborator-ies are at the service, of the stud-ents in Applied Sciene at the Uni-versity, as well as providing alltypes of information to the generalpublic .

Any problems concerning wood ,it uses or its products may be re-ferred to this department, and th erequired information will be for-warded as soon as possible .

Mr . R. M. Brown . superintendentof the B. C. division, is in chargehere, assisted by Mr . R. S. Perry ,and the chiefs of the various bran-ches . Mr. M. F. Knapp is head o fthe Department of Forestry at th eUniversity .

YOUTH AN DPOLITICS

(Continued From Page 1 )the community. This approach tothe problems of the present daycannot fail to lead us along th epath of constitutional and social re -form .

We believe the spirit of Liberalthought Is in greater demand todaythan ever before. We are convin-ced that the Liberal emphasis o nfreedom is of vital Importance at atime when events in other countriessuggest that hard-won liberty mayeasily be lost through an impul-sive acceptance of new philosophie sof government.

SOCIAL FREEDO MIn Eta practical application we

recognize that freedom in our daymust be given a larger social con-tent. The struggle for responsiblegovernment has been fought an dwon. Constitutional freedom ha sbeen established . Canada is now afree and equal member of the Bel-tish Commonwealth of Nations .Freedom must now be translatedinto social and economic terms .

We must recognize that soon -emirs Insecurity, poverty and fea rare the negation of freedom . Weare pledged to use our powers oftaxation and legislation to brin gabout an Increasing measure ofsocial security for our people .Where constitutional changes arenecessary to enable us to achieveour objective we are prepared t obring about these changes with -out Impairing the protection af-forded to minorities under thefederal constitution ,

The Liberal Party is also pledgedto greater freedom of trade and hasrecognized that this policy is notonly in the best interests of Cana-da but is also the path which of-fers the best means of improvinginternational relations . Canada isan exporting country . Its economicwelfare depends upon its ability todispose of its exportable surplus inforeign countries .

NO HOME MARKETThe Liberal Party has never been

deluded by the home-market argu-ment of the high protectionists .We have held consistently to th eview that it is the manifest dutyof a Canadian governemnt to se-cure and maintain continuous out -lets for the products of our farms ,our mines, our forests and our fish-eries .

We believe our industrial struc-ture depends upon the health ofthese primary Industries. We areprepared accordingly to revis ethe tariff to the extent necessaryto obtain somas to foreign mar-kits and to maintain the bargain-ing position of our producers Inthese markets. We believe theReciprocity Agreement with th eUnited States has confirmed thewisdom of this position on tradeand tariff policies.

It is a function of crisis to de-velop self-criticism. Because in-stitutions have apparently failed inan hour of need, many are temptedto discard them completely in th esearch for a new and better order .Such an attitude is alien to thespirit of Liberalism .

AVOID VIOLENCEThis does not mean that a Lib-

eral Party in Canada, or in anyother country, can afford to ignoreprofound changes in the purpos eand structure of government whichare now taking place in other partsof the world . It does mean thatLiberalism must conserve the bestvalues in our inherited institutions ,while keeping an open mind in re-lation to the changes required tomake them serve more faithfull ythe highest welfare of the com-munity . If violent change is to beavoided, a way must be found be-tween the extreme of reaction ,which seeks to maintain things asthey are, and the extreme of inno-vation which seeks to break ou rorganic connection with past devel-opment.

To say that Liberalism In Can-ada must follow the middlecourse Is neither a confession ofweakness nor an excess of cau-tion. It is merely an affirmatio nof the principle that progress hisalong a line which represents theresultant of the pull of traditionand the urge of Innovation . Thepast Is not forgotten .

The future is faced without fear,but with the firm determination to

This Is A

White Country

There is strong reason to believe, as Captain MacGregorMacintosh, M.L.A., alleges, that Japanese are being smug-gled into British Columbia in numbers, far in excess o fthe "gentlemen's agreement" whereby the annual entryof these people was to belimited to 150.

A careful survey of the Japanese population of thisprovince should tell the tale . If there are immigrationleaks, they must positively and definitely be stopped .

But even at its best, even if Captain Macintosh is com-pletely misinformed, the situation with regard to Japanes eimmigrants is far from satisfactory.

It is supposed there are some 30,000 Japanese in Brit-ish Columbia today, These people have large families ;their birth rate is high. As Captain Macintosh very per-tenently puts it, "How many Japanese will there be herein 19884 "

If these people continue to be smuggled in, in 50 yearsthere will be more Japanese in British Columbia thanwhite Canadians .

Even if they continue to come in at the legal rate o f150 a year, by 1988 we will have a Japanese populationthat is seriously menacing .

If no more are allowed to come in at all, we will stillhave, in 50 years, a good many more Japanese than w ewant .

These people, living at a low standard, are inter-fering intolerably with our retail merchants, with our fruitgrowers, with our fishermen . And withal, more than afew of them have been known to talk grandiosely aboutwhat Japan is going to do to this country when she get sthrough with China .

The business activities of the Japanese during the pastyear also have a curious significance .

Within the past 12 months the Japanese have acquire dcontrol of three large timber stands, one on the QueenCharlottes, one at Port McNeill, northern Vancouve rIsland, and another at Cowiohan Lake .

They have also interested themselves in two mineraldeposits, iron on the Queen Charlotte Islands and the oldTidewater copper mine on the west coast of VancouverIsland.

It seems a strange coincidence that the locations ofthese holdings should be strategically opposite the variousdefence projects on this Coast .

The plain fact is that all this activity, immigration andotherwise, is alarmingly sinister. Something must be doneabout it .

In the first place, the survey of Japanese populatio nmust be undertaken immediately .

In the second place, the present "gentlemen's agree-ment" must be abrogated to permit no Japanese immi-gration whatsoever .

Some of us have been timorous about the latter propo-sition in the past because there has been held out befor eus the bogey of a trade boycott should we restrict orienta limmigration.

Australia keeps herself white . She allows no orientalsettlers whatsoever .

And yet Australia's trade with the Orient has shownmore rapid and extensive increases in the past ten yearsthan that of any other nation .

But trade or no trade, this is a white countyr. We aregoing to keep it white. We have pioneered and developedit and we are not going to permit Japanese to sneak i nhere and steal the profits .

We believe that Captain Macintosh is pre-eminentlyright .

We believe that steps should be taken without delay toinform the Japanese with considerable force and vigo rthat we do not want them, except as students under bond ,in this white country .

POLTICS NEEDS IDEALIS MMy final word is this. A political

party cannot dispense with ideal -ism. Youth must bring its enthus-iaam to the support of political par.ties . It must bring its criticism too .Sometimes we are told that politic sis a hard and practical busines sand i suppose that until human na-

ture Is transformed it will alwayshave its hard and practical aide .But political party as an instrumentof social betterment and politicalevolution must preserve its idealsif it is to retain its vitality .

Organization merely for the gain-ing of political power is not enough.Poltical power must always be ameans to the higher end of socialservice . Youth has an obligatio nto see to it that this concept o fpolitical responsibility is kept stead-ily before us through the yearsahead .

PRINCE'S FAITH IN MANKIN DHAS BEEN DESTROYE D

Sy The Student PrinceThe Machine Age has gone too

far tA little man-made machine has

destroyed our faith in mankind, inlife, in our ideals, even in our ow nability to lie. And lying has al-ways been our proudest achieve-ment .

Parents, professors, policemen.street-car conductors, little childrenhave never—well, hardly ever —been able to catch us up in ourprevaricating. And now a littl egadget, consisting of a few wires ,a magic lantern, and two tumblersof cold waters, has found us out.

DARK ROO MIt all happened at the Open

House Day Saturday . We acciden-tally walked into a darkened roomwith a group of other victims wh owere being herded about the cam-pus by a few beribboned bullies ,when Dr . Morsh leaped on us outof the gloom .

"You are about to be a criminal,"he announced thrusting a smallcardboard package into our hand .He buttonholed the Genius as well ,who was nearby, and shoved us ou tInto the hall. "One of you is toopen the package, and don't tell m ewhich one. The other one of youmust not see what happens . Thelie detector will do the rest. "

The Genius produced a coin, weteemed, the Genius won, and pre-sented us with the package. Weopened it in a dark corner—littl eboxes inside big boxes—soft tissuepaper — then something soft andmoist. Strawberry jam, we thought ,they can't scare . . .WORMS, NO LESS

It was a large, squirming moun dof angry angle-worm s

In spite of our childhood fishin gexperiences, the thing gave us ajolt. With nerveless fingers we

ey OZZV DURKINVisitors and students found them -

selves on various "spots" Saturday ,as questions and answers—not al -ways logical—flew back and forthacross various exhibits and dis-plays .

Although Open House was oil -Many to get under way at 1 .00 p .m. ,over-enthusiastic visitors starte darriving several hours earlier, t othe mixed delight and perturbanceof both students and professors .GAGE INTERRUPTE D

First indication that the big dayhad finally arrived came to us a t10 .16 a.m. Mr. Gage was ex pound-ing the Binominal Theorem to arapt Math 1 class when the doorslowly opened. A little old gentle.man peeked timorously into thecrowded room . Unselfconsciousl yhe stood sipping a saucer of highermathematics while Mr. Gage, obli-vious back to the door, continue dwith the Binomial Theorem—to thenaive amusement of several of th eless conscientious freshmen .

Many were the high - pitchedscreams heard in the ElectricalShop as the Testa Coll did its half-million volt stuff. Many, too, werethe blushing giggles as the well-prepared face of pretty co-eds an dtheir slaters turned a ghastly pur-ple under the rays of a high Inten-sity mercury lamp.NAIVE VISITOR S

Workers on the metal lathe inthe Machine Shop had a difficul tfew moments when they discoveredthat the three naive visitors, wh ohad asked so $iany foolish ques-tions, were experienced C .P.R .shop workers .

After having the intricacies of aSemi-diesel engine methodically ex-plained to her, one visitor thoughtit all over carefully, then asked ,"But If It's only semi-diesel, what' sthe other half?"MV HEA D

Highlight of the Psychology Clubexhibit came when a neurotic visi-tor took one of the club's membersinto a corner . "My boy." said thevisitor, "I've seen many doctors andnerve specialists, and no one cantell me what's the matter with m yhead. I was wondering if yo ucould help me . . . 9"

At one of the gatherings afterthe Open House show, there was asomewhat unfortunate mixture o fScience and Arts men. A fifth-year Chemistry student, after list-ening with questionable patienc efor some time to a dissertation o n"anti-transcendentalism" by a pseu-do-philosopher, finally interuprted ."This anti----, well, whatever i tit," he asked, "will it dissolve insulphuric acid?"

"Japan is being actively assiste dby Canada and the United States,"maintained Sid Kilbank in the Par-liamentary Forum, held durin gOpen House last Saturday on thesubject: "Resolved, that Canadaand the U.S. should apply economicsanctions against Japan

."

Kilbank argued that Canad aand the U.S., in aiding Japan,became accomplices of the crimebeing committed in China today .He therefore urged that Japan be

boycotted and to prove the prac-ticability of a boycott, he cite dmany figures showing Japan's de-pendence upon the rest of theworld .ACT OF WAR

George Gregory led the opposi-tion. "We would commit an act ofwar, according to Japan, if we in-stituted an official boycott," he said .

Gregory stated that the successof a boycott against Japan wa simprobable .

The vote taken at the conclusionof the forum was two to one i nfavour of the government. Severa lvisitors participated in the debate .

SANCTIONSDEBATE D

operative houses resembling ourDalhousie and Salsbury Lodges.These with ordinary boarding hous-es are not more than two or threeblocks from the campus. Fraternityand sorority homes are right onthe campus.

NO CAFETERI AAn obstacle to Alberta society I s

the fact that there is no cafeteriaon the campus . Students eat theirlunches and drop in for an occa-sional cup of tea at the so-calle d"Tuck Shops" of which there aretwo. These resemble small cafeswith orchestras and add a pleasan tvariation to the daily curriculum .

U.B.C. la also fortunate In be .Ing able to hold Its formal darecos off the campus. In Albertaall parties except the "swank "Medicine Ball are held In th eDance Hall on the campus. TheMed. Ball Is held In a local hotel .Because most of the students

are registered in either Medicineor Engineering the Arts Faculty isnot overcrowded . "Facilities arequite adequate for the number ofstudents," Miss Colbourne states .MANY FACULTIE S

Besides Faculties of Arta and Sci-ence, Agriculture and Applied Sci-ence, there are faculties of Law an dMedicine, and schools of Pharmac yand Household Economics .

Each Saturday night on the cam -pus in the forementioned Hall aninformal dance is held which take sthe form of a "mixer ." Here anopportunity 1s given to meet otherstudents and for freshmen to ge tacquainted. Miss Colbourne wasslightly in doubt as to just how i tis done on this campus .

QUESTIONS AND ANSWER SGAME AT "OPEN HOUSE"

wrapped up the gooey parcel andreturned it .

Back in the dim room hundredsof people grinned and gaped . Dr.Morsh's spectacles gleamed an dflashed evilly as he guided us tothe machine, and ordered us to pu ta finger into each of two tumblersof water, from which wires lead toa machine that looked like a cros sbetween a movie projector and abarograph. Assistants hurriedabout . The audience grinned in thegloom .MYSTIC LIGH T

On the screen at the other endof the room a mystic looking patc hof light appeared .

"That represents your emotions, "the doctor said .

Our emotions took a suddenswerve to the right and vanished .A little more adjusting and theyreappeared, shivering and plungin g.

"Now," said Dr . Morsh, when ouremotions had settled down to aquiet jiggle in the centre of th escreen, "I am going to say a word ,and you are to answer with the firstword that comes to your mind . Ifyou hesitate, I shall detect It withthe stop watch. It will also caus eyour emotional response to regis-ter agitation . "EMOTIONAL PATC H

There was silence for a moment .The audience grinned in the gloom .My emotional patch on the scree nswerved to the right, back to theleft, and returned to its jiggling i nthe centre .

"House!" said Dr. Morsh"Box," we said Immediately . We

were proud of that first one, it wasso quick. Our emotions on thescreen jiggled proudly. For thenext five minutes the psychologistsconsulted all the available datafrom stop watches, galvonometers ,magic lanterns, etc ., and agree dfinally that we had said "Box" in1 .69 seconds.

"Squirm," said Dr . Morsh sud-denly.

"Worms," we almost said, thencensored it. After what seeme dlike 88.43 minutes we decided tosay "Swim" Instead . Our emotionswere jumping all over the screenbefore we blurted it out. After fivemore minutes' oonsulatation thepsychologists agreed that our emo-tions were acting queerly, havingmoved from the screen to the side

wall of the room ."Worms," said Dr. Morsh suspi-

ciously when our soul patch hadreturned at last .

"Slimey," we said brokenly, andthe patch flitted from wail to wal lagain. The audience jeered audib-ly,DANK SUGGESTIVENES S

The next halt dozen words werethe same. They all concernedworms and their qualities of wig-giftless, wetness, and general wor-miness . We didn't feel particularl yupset about it at all, but our emo-tional shadow on the screen wasflitting about like an excited but-tartly.

The Genius went through hispaces next, and his soul (which wassquare shaped as compared to ourtriangular one) was almost motion-less on the screen, while wordslike "write" and "wiggle" only sug-

treated vaudeville shows . Appar-ently it never entered his head thatworms can writhe and wiggle too.

When it was all over Dr. Morshasked the audience which one o fus they thought had a guilty con-science. The audience grinned col-lectively for the twentieth time andpointed .

Humbly we admitted our "guilt"and crept from the room.MORA L

If we had been caught lying in afair and open manner, it would behumiliating enough. But neither Dr.Morsh or anyone else has' any rightto project a man's soul on a screenfor public derision. After all, whatif our parents should decide to in-stall the beastly gadgets at homefor use in the small hours of themornings-after. They could usewords like "cork" or "Georgia ". . it's all too horrible. . . ,

CO-EDSPORTS

By MYRNE NEVISO NOnce again the .B.C. hockeylets

got all primed up Saturday for abig game when a polite league ex-ecutive sweetly phones to say "Nogame today—the mud is too mud-dy."

So, no game to write upthe mud was too muddy .

SR. B.s TO TRAVE LAlthough there are no league

games left for the Senior B girl sto play, they will be making aJaunt to Abbotsford Friday night .The valley

girls, an

unknow nquantity will be seeking to showtheir supporter . how to outsmartthe city slickers. The collegianswill try, we hope, for their fourthwin of the .non.The girls' ping-pong on Monday ,

Wednesday and Friday at 10 a.m .is progressing well .

'Tis rumored,however, that the boys have thelittle habit of using up all the balls .

Hockey

players,

take

notice 'There will be a practice for all U .B. C. members today at 12 .10 andtomorrow at 8 .46. Woe betide anyabsentees .

SOCCER JIN XSTILL STICK SLOSE OUT 3-2It's the old story once again .

Varsity roundballers who seem tobe under the influence of a jinx ,went down to another close defeatSaturday against the second-placeKerrisdale team .

NO LUCK AT AL LThe 8.2 score hardly does th e

fighting Collegians credit, and itcertainly flatters the Kerries .With a moderate wind at theirbecks, the Collegians took thefield with their strongest line-u pintact, and soon served noticethat they were going to be heardfrom . Despite some early BlueGold rushes, however, It was th eKerries who counted first throughEllison.The students, spurred on by th e

reverse, soon got the goal bac kwhen Art Chapman boomed hom ea beauty from close in . Ten min-utes later a corner forced by Kee-yladale's Bert Rush bore fruit whenth, pigskin trickled into the cornerof the net off a Varsity defender .

It took the Campusmen abou tone minute and no more to eventhe count when Quayle back -heeled a clever pass to Robinsonwho converted with a long shot .After the breather, the Kerrie s

took command for a short time an dsoon scored what proved to be th ewinner after the Varsity defenc ehad had to concede a corner.

QUAYLE LEADS ATTACKConstant student forays, wit h

Quayle leading the attacks, jus tfailed to click as the visitors wer epenned in their own area for min-utes at a time .

Doug Todd, facing two of hi sbrothers on the Kerrisdale line -up. Croll and Jim Robinson, stoodout for the Collegians on defenc ewhile there was little to choos eamong the forwards.

THANKS VICTORI A

Victoria's gallant Crimson Tid ewhich invaded the Mainland ove rthe week-end and submerged Van-couver Rep in a poorly-played Mc -Kechnie Cup tussle did all that wa srequired of them to make the com-ing Varsity-Vancouver contest anatural .

By their victory the CapitalCity aggregation put the Reps i nexactly the same position in thestandings as the Thunderbirdswith two wins and a defeatchalked up to their record .

HISTORICAL SOCIET YSecond year students wishing t o

apply for membership In the Histo-rical Society notify Frances Math-eson, via Arts Women's letter rack .

LITTLE MATTER OF MONE YBut hard-working Brook Corn -

wall wants to impress upon row-ers, and supporters, that the dis-tance of 150 miles from here t oSeattle I. not mythical, an dtransportation for all and sundr ymust be arranger previous t oFebruary 28th so that the tri-angle regatta won't become atwo-way dogfight.

Free Skating

After Hockey

Battle On Sate

Intercollegiate Hockey comes toVancouver next Saturday afternoo nwhen the invading Washingto nHuskies tackle the local favoredThunderbirds at the Exhibition For-um in the return game of the an-nual series between the Huskies o fthe South and the Thunderbirds o fthe North .

A free skating session is line dup after the game is over for allIn attendanpe and all those whoboo so lustily when a hockey stal-wart bites the Ice will be able t ogo out on the frozen pond and il-lustrate how the game should orshould not be played. Tickets areon sale by all members of th ehockey club so pick yours up toda yfor this premier battle of the cen-tury with free skating thrown I nabsolutely gratis .

The Thunderbird team will be I nfirst class shape for the all-import-ant battle, and after the practisegame with the White Pine outfi tlast Thursday, Coach Maury Va nVliet pronounces his team in firs tclass shape for the fray. This isa grudge battle as far as the Hus-kies are concerned as the 'Bird shave already taken them Into cam ponce this year to the tune of 6-0 ,and this time they are out for ven-geance in no uncertain manner .

ARTS '20 RACE

TOMORRO W

Arts '20 Relay Race, the biggestthing in Intra-Murals to crop u pfor months and months, is sche-duled to be run tomorrow over thesame route that has been used sinc ethe university migrated to the pres-ent site. Sixty-four milers wil lsteam over the long trail from theold Fairview site right out to th eend of the Mall in relays, with thewinners bringing down no less than75 points to go towards the Gov-ernor's Trophy .

GATHER AT 2 .30All runners are to report to the

gym at 2.30 sharp to contact th ecars that will scatter the variou steams all along the route at th ebeginning of the separate laps .Numbered post on the east sideof the gym will indicate to themarathoners what car they tak efor their lap, Maury Van Vliet,who has organized the race dow nto the last shoestring . warns al lmembers to he on time .

The grind starts at 3 .15 with eac hmember of the team running on elap, and with eight teams entered ,the competition should be keen.Three Science teams uphold th ehonor of the men in red, three Artsteams make the run and along withthe usual contingent from the An-glican College and the reliable plod -cling Aggies who arc the favorite sfor this year's battle .

KEEP CURS AWA YAll student supporters of the

runners are asked to keep thei rccus oil the route until all the pave-ment pounders have gone by . Inthe past several of the lads havenearly gone under from the effect sof inhaling volumes of carbon mon-oxide fumes from the cars that cu tin front of the first group of run-ners . After all, most of the boysare not in first-class shape and it i sdisconcerting to say the least t otry to run in the face of a gas bar-rage laid clown from the 'mobile sin front .

Points will be awarded for al lthose teams with the stamina tofinish and the first three aggre-gations will haul down 75, 60 and

Of the - various me hods thathave been expounded on the cam -pus of late for ways and means o fraising money, little or nothing ha sbeen said about what could be on eof the best money-makeres of the mall . We refer, of course, to sport sIn all of Its forms but In particula rto intercollegiate competition . Thisyear has seen some attempts in thi sline but their efforts have bee nspasmodic and lacking in any def-inite organization for a years pro -gram of such nature .HOCKEY TRIES HAR D

Ice hockey and football hav emade attempts this year to getsuch competition under. way an dparticularly In the ease of th egridders the results have been ofthe best. A crowd of about fif.teen hundred turned out in on eof Vancouver's better rain stormsto watch a losing Thunderbirdeleven battle with the Universityof Alberta at night. This shoul dbe enough to show that the spir-it is there If the right kind ofgames are provided . The hockeyteam with the very minimum o fhelp has played several game swith teams as far south as Call-fornla but are now finding it al -most Impossible to stage any re -turn games with these teams .

CAN WE HAVE STRIP ?The basketball team, champions

of the Dominion, which makes mor emoney for the University than an yother sport, have had no outsid egames here except with a few Jun -for Colleges and even had tothreaten a walkout to get new strip .The rowing club, the ski club an dthe swimming cup even thoug hthey try to foster intercollegiatecompetition do it at a cost ratherthan a profit .

Last year the students du gdown Into their Jeans and buil ta fine stadium which, things re-maining as they are, should be a sgood a hundred years from no was It is today for the amount ofusage it gets . All it needs is theword "Sunkist" printed on It t omake it one of the prise lemon sof the year. Instead of being ameans of providing money forthe furtherance of sport it ha sbeen used about two or thre etimes for big events .

AH Mal lUniversities in the United State s

make as high as one million dollarsa year out of their sports . Loyolaand Notre Dame with an enroll-ment of one-quarter of ours attrac tas high as fifty thousand peopleto their games . While U.A .C. couldnever hope to come close to thesefigures it should at least be ableto put them on a paying baste .

The only way In which this ca nbe done Is by appointing a sport sdirector to act as publicity agen tand organizer of all sporting event son the campus . The spirit that wa sshown this year over the Victori ainvasion and last year when the11th versity or Saskatchewan washere for the football game can bebrought out again if the same typ eof games are featured . However,getting the student hotly out 1s onl yat part or what should he done .-With a city of 350 .000 it should h esimple to pack the stadium and gy mfor games it Vancouver people ge tinstilled in then! It. hit or the spiri toi' the campus through an efficien tpublicity agent .

It's being done elsewhere, s owhy not here . Let's try to pu tour sports on a money-makin gbasis and also make them enjoy-able for the participants an dsomething besides a headache fo rthe various managers who try t opromote them .

INTRAMURALSThe semi-finals will be on Wed-

nesday between Science '38 andArts '40. Winner of this serie swill tangle with Science '39 in th efinals .

45 points respectively . The live -wire murals committee claim sthis race to be the highlight o fa very successful intramuralyear, and promises even bette rthings to come .

"its just another matter of time! "declared Bob Melville, this year'sRowing Club prexy, when discuss-ing the coming triangle meet wit hOregon and Washington on March6th .

IT'S A CINC H

"Just a matter of the few min-utes our eight huskies need t osweep down the Universit yCourse In Seattle, and oop th ewinner's flag!" piped up Publi-elty Manager Brook Cornwall onthe campus on the same day asyour reporter was eagerly Inter -viewed, and deeply Impressed b ythe enthusiastic energy wit hwhich this duo of Rowers plunge dInto discussion on their favorit etopic .

As a matter of tact, after listen-ing carefully to each oarsman, w ecan't see bow the Blue and Gol dboat can possibly miss sprayin gwith its backwash both Americansquads in the 150•pound event .PROFESSOR WILSON IS COAC H

This year's ship has the bestrudder It's ever had in ProfessorFrank Wilson . With the Kelownlana star in his own right, as counsel .ler and critic, in practice session severy day this week, the B. C. ves-sel will surely "catch no crabs" ina straight course to Victory .

And their are eight of the fines tmotors in the Canadian launch thi sseason. Geared to the highes tspeed and efficiency through earl ytall and winter training, and hel dat the top through stiff spring work -outs, the '38 "Varsity" crew arenow aching to slip Into high .

SEVERAL NEW FACE SStroke Bob Pearce will be

serving his third term on th efirst squad, and his Job of cra wcaptain adds to his duties. An-other last year man. Ewart Heth-erington, will be In Number 'Tw oslot, while a Freshman, Bennett ,cope Number three . Bob Hay -man and Pete Leckie-Ewing, bot hwith little previous experience ,have fought hard to gain Num-bers four and five places respea •tively, while Graham Darling, aSenior rower of two season sback, slips Into sixth slot . Lyn-ott, another Fresh, has earnedNumber seven position, andFlasher, a former V.R .C. star,will pull a hefty oar from th efinal spot . At present, there' snary a hog-calling Coxswain i nsight, but the Rowers are await-ing patiently for an expert Frog-voice, bantamweight, paddle-les soarsman .It that's not sufficient reason for

a U.B.C . triumph here's another.Last season, Wash. defeated Var-sity by a mere length, while th eHuskies drubbed Oregon by seven .NOV' . practically uo mathematics;are required to see that B . C . had adefinite edge a year ago . and wit ha st ronger crew this season, it ssimple subtr action to say C' ,in a breeze! "

Other meets being mooted b yMelville, Cornwall and company a tpresent include a V .R .C., U.V.C .regatta on March 15 or 20 . and thepossible entry of a squad in thePacific Coast Meet on May 15 .
