RADIO PRODUCTIONENTERS NEW ERA

THIS TER MOut of the restless longing of

youth to make its voice heard acros sthe undulating ether, there was ore-ated in days gone by a new institu -tion, "Varsity Time." 'Twee feeble ,disjointed and primitive, and Its ex-cessive walling. dapleased the gods .

Then came evoluton—the Insurg-ency of life which had already prove dIts power by replacing the slim yamoeba by the supreme creation, th eSophomore—this same evolution nowset to work on Varsity Time .LESS PRIMITIVE

Gradually It became leas primi-tive, less feeble, lea disjointed andthe gods at time* tolerated itsyouthful babbling.. Then came therevelation of De Vries' theory of"mutations" which state* that thelong and weary process of evolu-tion is sometimes avoided by thesudden production of somethin ggreatly advanced .Hope for Varsity Time has grown .At 8 .18 p .m., October 7, in the yea r

of our Lord 1938, marks the begin-ning of a new Age In the history ofVarsity Time—the Ouydurkin Age.

On that night as the gods relaxIn their Olympian chesterfields, hold-ing between their fingers the knobs,which in a flicker of time can castthe proffered gifts of man into ob-livion—may sweet music echo i ntheir etherial chambers, may en-trancing drama and alluring enlight-ening items stay their hands .

Organizing and integrating force sare now at work to make this muta -tion a reality.OFFICIAL S

The appointments of Oazy Dur-kin as Producer, Bob Thompson,as Script Director, Victor Freemanas Chief Announcer and J. D.Macfarlane as Radio News Editorhave been made but there are stillvacancies In the clerical and actingstags .Evolution Is a progress in discip-

line and co-operation and if th eOzuydurkin Age in Varsity Time isto be successful it must have direc tassistance from many more personsand co-operation from all—Tuu mEst!!

Australians Puzzled by Ou rExpressions

By IRENE EEDY

"What Is a coed?" questioned theEnglish voice of Hugh Robson, Aus-trallan debater from Sydney Univer-sity when asked, in an interviewwith the Ubyssey, how our coed s

compared with theirs .

.After being enlightened, Hugh

stated with due deliberation tha tthey "compared more than favor-ably with out Australlarf coeds, I nfact they're magnificent." To thi shis colleague, Fred Thoneman fromMelbourne University agreed heart-ily and added with a merry gleamIn his brown eye*, "We have very

little trouble with our coeds In Mel-bourne, they are very pliant, Infact we call them 'students of mat-rimony' over there."Both visitors were puzzled by num-

erous phrases and expressions em-ployed by university students here.'Campus' for example, is a ter mwhich does not exist In the Austral-ian student's vocabulary, neverthe-less they "admired the approach tothis campus immensely . "

Tall, six-foot-and-over Thonemanis a scienceman interested mainly i nthe field of physics . He hopes to con-tinue his studies in Germany and, onthat account, is an ardent studentof the German language and liter-ature .

Law is the special study of th eSydney graduate, who cryptically re -marks that he is not interested i npolitics . However, he expects to lear nmuch concerning the political natureof this province during his thre eweeks sojourn in Vancouver befor eproceeding on the debating tou rthrough Canada and the UnitedStates .

BUILDINGS PROVIDEDBY GOVT.

University buildings are providedby government and private endow-ment, and at present in Melbournethere is an extensive new rebuildin gprogram going on, for a Union Build-ing. In Sydney, there is both a Wom-en's and a Men's Union Building andonly on special occasions does onegroup intrude upon the 'holy o fholies' of the other ,

NO FRATERNITIESFraternities, as such, are not in

existence in their alma maters bb-Ing replaced by various clubs andsocieties similar to those under ou rliterary and scientific grouping.Social functions are numerous an dfavor the formal with white ti eand tails in preference to the in -formal dinner jacket. Prices oftickets are approximately fifteenshillings .One group which deserves specia l

mention 1s the Sex Equality Clu bat Melbourne, every member o fwhich, goes to functions 'dutch .'

RHODES CANDIDATESAPPLICATIONS DUE,

APPLY REGISTRAR

Applications for the Rhodes Schol-arship must be made at the Regis-trar's office by October 31, whereforms may be obtained, or fromthe Provincial Secretary of theRhodes Scholarship Association, W .Tom Brown, 1111 Rogers Building ,

To be eligible candidates must b ebetween the ages of nineteen an dtwenty-five, single, and have com-pleted at least his sophomore yearin college . The applicant must als ohave resided in Canada at least fiv eyears with the intention of perman-ent residence .

The scholar is chosen by theCommittee for Selection of theProvince not on a written examin-ation but on the applicant's previ-ous record. it is necessary for allcandidates to be interviewed bythe Committee and If they so de-sire, an essay must he submitted .The scholarship is worth 0400 a

year for two years with an option o fa third year. However this thir dyear will only be allotted if the schol-ar can submit a definite plan o fstudy for that period . This pla nmust be satisfactory to his Collegeand to the Rhodes Trustees .

put before last night's meeting ofthe board of governors concernednot only the student campaign butalso a plan to supplement the stu-dent financing of the Union build-ing. The first was a request for astatement of the Governor's bud-get for the coming year and a copyof the budget for the year Natpassed . The Board has In the pastrefused to publish information con-cerning their proceedings .The second request was that the

Board of Governors ask the Provin-cial Government for an additionalgrant of from $15,000 to $88 ;000 fo rthe term, 1938-30. If this grant wereforthcoming a student fee raise o f$10 would bring in an income evenlarger than the government grant.For this reason the committee feel sjustified in asking the government ,by means of the Board of Governors ,to share less than half of the extr auniversity expense .

In the event of the second propos-al being accepted by the board th ecommittee was to request that th edate of payment of fees be postponeduntil such time as the provincialgovernment can consider the propos -al .FOR SUPPLEMENTARY FUNDS .

The fourth request which comesfrom the Alma Mater Society ra-ther than the Campaign Commit -tee Is that the Board of Governorsprovide the A .M.S. with a grant of$2,800 for a period of ten years, tototal $38,000 In order to supple-ment funds already collected forthe Brook Memorial Union Build-ing. The Alma Mater Society con-siders that this Is a justified re-quest in view of the fact that thesum involved le a small portion ofthe total sum which has been pro-vided by the students themselves ,and that no money for buildingshas been forthcoming from theBoard of Goovernors since th eUniversity was first built . Like-wise the students have, without as-sistance from the Board of Gov-ernors already completed an ex-pensive building plan .

STUDENTS EARN FEESDURING SUMME R

AS MINERSTo all those who worked on land ,

in the .air, on the sea, in mines . . .and on ice-wagons, we wish a suc-cessful term.

U.H .C. students, in their search fo rways and means of earning feescover all these fields of occupation.

SURVEYSTo students in applied science was

given the opportunity of gettingpractical experience in their own linewhile earning their fees for the nex tyear. These men go out on surveyswhich frequently continue until afte rthe fall term begins . Some of themfind places In research departmentsthroughout the province, while oth-ers descend to the murky depths t ofatten the perilous avocation of theminer 'for a spell . '

FIRE-FIGHTERSThe shutting down of logging

camps this summer, due to fire haz-ards, caused the unemployment ofmany students, although some ofthem were employed fighting fire .

The supervision of playgroundsprovided an opportunity to bothmen and women studenta whosefuture work will be connected withphysical education or teaching,

The B.C. Electric employed stu-dents on the street emu* and intheir office and retail departments .The C.P.R. hotels and summer re-

sorts provide employment for aconsiderable number of students, es-pecially girls, who find the workvery profitable because of the tips ,which are plentiful in the more ex -pensive hotels.

VERSATILITYTutoring and coaching were wel l

paid and excellent experience forwould-be teachers. A certain num-ber of students find positions i nstores and offices in town, but thisyear very few were able to get tha ttype of job .

Versatility is the keynote in stu-dents' summer employment . . . andhard work .

The other point worth mentioningabout the same meeting concerns afew of the powers that be in the

so-called major clubsMUSICAL of this voluble Cam-VERBOSITY pus . The meeting was

obviously to be a leng-thy one, for some fifteen heartieswished to lead the Freshmen into thei rrespectful "clubbish lairs," by paint-ing vivid and exaggerated picture sof the benefits that are to be receivedfrom joining this club or that one.

But it was at this very gatheringthat the President of the MusicalSociety decided that the best policyfor his Club was to talk for so longa time that no other club 'could evenget an opportunity to tell of its ad -vantages. Not content with thi spiece of verbal crime, the said pres-ident included in his speech certai nrefrences to other musical clubs onthe Campus .

He pointed out that freshmencould join one of these clubs, butthat if they wanted to learn music ,they should join the Musical Society .Now we don't pretend to know afrightful lot about music, but we doknow that the Musical Society notonly provides an incomplete musica leducation, but also thinks too muchof what they have presented and d opresent .

Which brings to mind the nex tthing. Too many clubs on this Cam -pus are inclined to think that twoyears success or so Is enough to war-rant their scorning any other at -tempt to form another organizationin the same general field .

Each time theVarsity heroes disposed of anothe rof the unfortunate opposing glad-iators, the crowd gave a deep growlof bloody thanks.

EditorialsA POLITICAL ISSUE ?

On the recommendlttion of the Campaign Committee, we ar einformed, Students' Connell will petition the Board of Governor sto ask that the government grant to the University be increasedin the amount of front *15,000 to *35,000. At the same time ,according to this plan, the present *25 increase in student fee swould be reduced to a *10 increase, the students thus contributin gin toto approximately $20,000, or *5,000 more than the minimu mincrease asked of Victoria .

The U

b

yssey does not wish to express any opinion whatsoeve rregarding the financial aspect of the problem, but it feels ver ystrongly that the Students' Campaign Committee, speakin gthrough the executive body of the Alma Mater Society, ha sexhibited more than a modicum of good sense in approaching th eGovernment on this question, through the constituted authority ofthe University, namely : the Board of Governors .

Success met the Committee's efforts during the summer, ami dthe resulting removal of attendance limitations was a very rea ltriumph for them. It is quite conceivable that similar successwould greet a direct overture from the Committee to the Govern-ment with respect to the problem of increased fees . However, thedanger in pursuing such a policy too far—and we believe th eCampaign Committee fully aware of this danger—is that o fmaking a political issue of the affairs of. the Committee in general ,and of the Alma Mater Society in particular .

In view of this peril, the Campaign Committee has taken th ehighly sensible and far-sighted course of approaching the finnnein lpart of its programme through the body which controls th efinances of the University, and has in this way 1'limiuntell rim ypossibility of U .A.C. affairs becoming a political issue either o nthe campus or in the Province as a whole .

. The Ubyssey expresses the sincere hope that the ('onunitte emay carry on its campaign with the same tine regri n d for the ideal sof out. University that it has shown by this step, and that it sefforts—and those of the Board of Governors--may meet wit hevery success .

THE BAND?'loch credit is clue Dlr . (zzy Durkin for his recent successfu l

attempt to organize a university band on the campus . Buildin gon a rather small foundation of his last year's hand Mr . Durkinpersuaded Vancouver's most famous band-leader, Mr . ArthurDelamont to net as the leader and succeeded in an equally (liftieul ttask of persuading the student's council to finance his endeavour' .

Crowned with success in his two preliminary arrangement sMr. Durkin called a meeting of all students interested in becomin gmembers of the band. Although the meeting was fairly wel lattended there are not yet sufficient number of ntusieinns to ensur ethe success of the venture. The band will be without doubt ofvery great benefit to the students and it is the personal duty o fevery musician on the campus to assist with the organization o fthe Varsity Band .

the pleasure and entertainment of it smembers, the Society has obtaine dan enviable reputation in Vancouverand its vicinity for its successful mu-sical productions .

With the popular presidedt,Frank Patch, again at Its head ,the executive Is busy planning afull programme for the comingseason, and considering the sug-gestions of the musical director ,Mr. Williams, for the spring oper-atta. Although It has been ru-mored that the Society may pro-duce one of Herbert's or Frimi'slight operas, no decision on thi squestion has yet been made.

FRESHETTES ROMPWITH BIG SISTERS

AT ANNUAL SUPPE RFreshettes last night doffed thei r

green regalia in favour of romper sand imposing hair ribbons, whe nthey attended the Freshette Suppe rheld in the University Grill .

The masquerading youngsterswere solicitously accompanied bytheir "Big Sisters," who joined i nthe evening's frolic as enthusiasti-cally as did their charges.

Following supper, an impromptuprogramme was conjured up, andthere was much hilarity over thevaudeville efforts of seniors andFreshettes alike .

Arrangements were In the handsof the executive of the Womens'Undergraduate Society, with JeanStordy, the President, as usual keep-ing her skilled and protective eyeon the proceedings .

FROSH TO BE SHOTIN GYMNASIUM ONMONDAY FOR TOTEM

Compulsory shooting of Freshme nstarted in earnest on Monday at theGymnasium. The gun was the cam -era of Artona's Studio, the reason ,The Totem .

For the benefit of Freshmen, th eTotem is the University Annual, andit is hoped by the editor thereof thatit will contain the portrait of eachand every Freshman on this Campus .

Freshmen must first make an ap-pointment at the Auditorium BoxOffice for a time to have thei rphotograph taken, and must thenarrive at the studio, which is situ-ated at the North West corner ofthe gymnasium.The total cost to each student is

$1 .25, and this Includes, in additionto the photograph in the Totem it-self, a large portrait in a frame, don ein the traditional style of Artona .

A SMALL COMPLAINT"Any complaints?" asked the order-

ly officer."Yes, sir," came the voice of Pri-

vate Huggins ."Well, what is it?" asked the offi-

cer ."This steak is underdone, sir," sai d

Private Huggins."But I don't see any steak ." ex-

claimed the officer ."It's right here under this potato ."

wailed Private Huggins .

It is with no little trepidation tha tI embark upon this, my first trip intothe perilous realms of columnisti cjournalism. For the life of the aver-age columnist is fraught with appre-hension . With the publication of hisfirst attempt he becomes a slinking ,dodging thing, hiding—whenever pos-sible—behind trees and hedges an dnom-de-plumes and things .

This, perhaps, is as it should be .There is a law which ostensibly per-mits a certain freedom of speech .But to date I've heard of no lawwhich protects a poor, defenselesscolumnist from being crushed be-neath the outraged heel of some out -raged heel .

Anyhow, here goes . May the brick-bats fall where they will . The bou-quets should take care of themselves .

.In racking my brain for an idea, I

remembered something that was sai dnot so long ago by one of our moresuave, better-looking members o fCouncil . During the summer, in a'letter to a friend, he made mention of"that intangible thing . . . CollegeSpirit ." We have been wondering ove rsince just how intangible collegespirit really is .

In my humble opinion, spirit doe snot lie in the murderous Frosh-Sophconflicts, it does not lie in the physi-cal aspects of the Bon-fire . Nor is i tto be found in the superficial, fren -zied rah-rahs which characterize ourathletic meets . It lies, rather, in thetimeless tradition of which thesethings are the external indication .

For this reason, I was glad to hea rof the Bon-fire's revival. There isnothing, I think, which could be morenostalgic in later years than th ememory of that Frosh Bon-fire . Scuf-fling figures in uncertain shadow . . .towering flames giving off a flicker-ing circle of light . . . the gradualhush as Frosh and Soph forget thei rrivalry and gather close about th eglowing embers, awed and united inthe presence of Tradition . . . themajestic rhythm of the college hymnrolling slowly out across the darken-ed, autumn campus .

Our council friend was right . Thereis something intangible about CollegeSpirit .

.A bouquet to this year's energetic

Totem Editor, John Garrett . He is,definitely, one of the 'chosen twelve .'Almost before the green-hats havestraightened out their time-tables,they are being bustled off to the gy mto watch the birdie. And some ofthem still don't know where the gy mis . Once the Frosh pictures are taken ,of course, the Totem is practicallyfinished. All that's needed is a grou ppicture of the faculty and some kindof binding .

With a little co-operation from youFrosh, then, Johnny should have thebiggest and beat Totem in years readyfor sale in a short time . He is cer-tainly going about it more methodi-cally than any Totem editor I canremember .

This year's crop of misses is abou tthe best yet, to my way of thinking .Greetings, gals, but have a heart .Don't snub a fellow just because h epounds a typewriter . There can onlybe one Tommy Williams on the Cam-pus at a time .

LUBy LIONEL SALT 'Trailing on the short end of a 3-2 score with but two minutes remainin g

to full time, Varsity's colourful grid squad pulled the game out of the fir ewith a last minute touchdown that left th efor breath .

It had been a game featured by f,the brilliant field-running of thestudents against the educated kick-ing of the Irish. ap Roberts, Wil-liams, and Joplin all pulled off lon ggains but were constantly stoppe ddead when pay-dirt was anywherenear at hand .Farina, at the quarter, handled hi s

team with seasoned judgment, butlacked In the pinches often relying onforward passes with a soggy' ball .Twice the Yayoees averted the threatof the Varsity grid men by intercept -ing long forward passes .KICKING GAME

Johnny Pearson figured largely inthe student attack, his punting so -counting for points In the first an dthird quarters when, in both theseperiods, the Irish were rouged behindtheir own line .

Going Into the third period twopoints up the men of Gold and Bluereceived a setback when a backfiel dfumble put the Kaycees in a direc tline with their goalposte . Lang kickedthe field-goal from thirty yards ou tto give the Irish the lead 3-2.

From then on It was the fightingof the students for the equaliseragainst the determined defence of th eKnights to hold their slim lead . Thefourth quarter was all but over be -fore the Varsity men could get towithin scoring distance . Farina, Var-sity quarter, called for a kick andPearson obliged with a long puntacross the Kaycee line. The Irishsafety man, rushed by the speed yVarsity linemen was forced to try topunt out of danger .LAST SECOND S

Varsity hopes rose as the pigskinVarsity hopes rose as the pigskin

thwacked against a Varsity shirt.The Irish recovered on their ownone-yard line but interference rul-ing gave the ball to the students .Two minutes to full time were lef tand it was do-or-die for dear ol d"Alma Mammy . "It was real pressure on the Varsity

Withthe game already in the bag the stu-dents hammered another nail intothe Kaycee coffin with convert aftertouch, Aub Gray doing the honours .

Sport-writers and fans alike haile dthe game as the smoothest and fast-est grid-opener ever viewed In th eSenior League . Close to four hundre dVarsity rooters yelled themselve shoarse as the teams battled for thespoils .

PRIMA DONN AAnd before we forget, did eve r

anyone see a greater showman o nthe gridiron than the aforementione dTommy Williams . After being hel ddown to only about fifty yards al lgame, our Horatio Alger made thefumble just at the end of the thir dquarter that gam the Knights thei rbig chance, and boy! did they tak eit for three points . But what is threepoints in the life of a star like SweetWilliams? But next time, pray Tom ,watch the clock a bit closer beforeyou put on the big act, because youknow we have a weak heart, andhow were we to know that you ha dthat touchdown up your sleeve ?

DAVIS VISUALIZES A NE WSERVICE CLU n GROU P

By BASIL ROBINSONRadical reorganization of the

Men's Big Block Club along thelines of similar bodies operating I nother large Vntversitiee, is thedream of Jack "Spud" Davis, ne wM.V.S. president.According to Davis, who seems to

be fairly conversant with the situa-tion, similar Athletic groups are act-ing as Service Clubs and meetingwith remarkable success in other in-stitutions . Consequently he sees noreason why the proud wearers of thehighest U.B.C. Athletic award sshould not fill In similar capacities .

He proposes to launch the follow-ing reorganisation policy unde rM.U.S . sponsorship.

(1) Big Block Club to stags money-making social events . As the mom-berm of the club are well-known an dhave a great Influence and drawing-power, the Men's UndergraduateProxy considers they are the logicalpromoters of such functions, if theirsuccess, especially in the financia lfield, is to be assured . Proceeds o fsuch affairs would go to the Broo kMemorial Fund .CHEER LEADERS

(2) The conducting of all pre-gam epop meets and parades . In this lino,the Big Blockers would be give nample employment. Davis Idealisesunder this heading a cheering sea-tion made up entirely of Big Bloc kMen and a Big Block cheer-leade rto lead the yells accompanied by th eproposed Varsity band, In this re-spect, the Athletic stand-outs woul dlargely take the place of the Pe pClub. In this way Davis believes abetter Varsity spirit could be aroused ,something which, it is rumoured, ha sbeen noticeably lacking at Universit yfunctions so far .

(3) The maintenance of campu sdiscipline . Here again, it is Davis 'very logical belief that more respectis commanded by a Big Block Manthan by anyone else on the campus .

(4) The performance of other func-tions of a Service Club nature. Un-der this head the possibilities fo rwork available appear to be un-bounded . It is the hope and inten-tion of Davis that by the above-proposed rejuvenation and reorgan-ization of the Big Block club, th esomewhat bitterly-expressed opinion sof certain professors with regard tothe Athletic heroes being, literally ,"big blocks" will be gradually re -versed .

A general meeting for all mem-bers of the club for reorganizationpurposes will be held in the Gymon Wednesday at 13 .30. A full turn -out is requested .

GRASS HOCKEYGrass hockey, the game of swing-

ing bludgeons gets under way nextSaturday when the Varsity squadmeets Vancouver Club at ConnaughtPark .
