Pay Off For Gy m

THOSE MADCAPS of the cam-pus—the Jokers—have managed tomake their antics pay off for theGym fund to a tune of no less\ than$3498.10 .

The ten cents comes from a piggybank belonging to a little brotherof owe of the Jokers.

The club is emphasizing that thetotal so far is only a beginning an dthat it's going to start growing al -most immediately .

The sum of $3498.10 includes re-ceipts from Joker activities lastyear . It represents such featuresas selling hot dogs, raffling nylons,and staging a show at the Orpheumtheatre .

Penn McLeod, manager of th eMemorial Gym Committee, points ,out that other money can be in -directly credited to the Jokers . Inappreciation of the Club's enter-taining stunts, members of thepublic sent in several sizeabl echeques .

This is it .There now seems little doubt that, for a

time at least as long as anyone can predict ,there will be more students at UBC this yearthan in any other year,

That means an equally impressive amoun tof problems. In spite of the comprehensiveplanning done by the administration and bystudent officials to prepare for the situation ,it's more than probable that conditions onthe campus will be, to say the least, nerve-wracking .

In turn, that involves an especial needthis fall for the presence of a willingness tomeet, and solve, the friction-full situationswhich undoubtedly will arise .

No doubt, many things in the first fewweeks, or even months, will be far fromsatisfactory. Yet, if everyone prepare men-tally for the shocks, then all should even-tually be satisfactory ,

How the problems are met will determin ethe future of the university .

Like the rest of the world, UBC is at thecrossroads.

Here, the problem is to take care of an

It's too early yet to tell exactly how badthe housing situation is for university stu-dents, but one thing is certain—it is far from

good .From all indications, it seems that many

hopeful men and women have been pourin ginto Vancouver intent on attending UBCbut without any assurance of finding a suit-able place to live .

Whether their hopes were justified can no t~ylearned for some time. For those whohave managed to find places, but at higherrates than they figured on,it might be monthsbefore they learn that they can not stan dthe pace financially .

Even if current plans to find emergenc yshelter for veteran students work out satis-factorily, there 's little doubt but that addi -

The MummeryCarrying his registration booklet at the

high port, Homer Quincey of Moose Groin ,Saskatchewan, marched stiffly into the Arm-ories and halted in a queue . Homer was

used to queues, now. He knew queues s owell he could stand in one in his sleep . Mat-ter of fact, he had been dozing in a queue in

the Admin Building when they woke him

up and told him it was time to pay his five

dollars. By then Homer had forgotten whe nhe first started to line up, and why. For thelast few days he had just been following thelarge wart on the neck in front of him, blind-ly and open-mouthed, hoping it might lea d

to food or a place to sit down .It had led to another queue . It led to a

tab a marked "REPRESENTATIVE O F

D OF ARTS", where most of the stock -

'judging seemed to ,be ' going on. Homercombed his yellow hair and rubbed hi s

stubble nervously . He found himself con-

fronted ."What is your course?" asked the Repre-

sentative .ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY

Homer squinted at her, his' small, red -rimmed eyes wary . Once before in a simi-lar situation he had spoken too soon, withthe result he spent four years in the RCAF

piloting a mop. Noticing a Calendar on thetable, Homer pointed to the cover .

"What's that say? " he asked cautiously .

"Why, it says, `The University of "BritishColumbia ' , " replied the surprised Rep .

"Yeah , " murmured Homer, looking crafty ,

"I ' ll take summa that . "The Rep recoiled slightly ."But you must have some course . What

are you interested in taking? ""Sixty bucks a month," Homer replied

readily, feeling surer of his ground .

influx of students expediently, while at thesame time maintaining UBC's scholasticstandards and spirit .

The manner in which the problem istackled will mean the difference in whetherthe university becomes an undistinguishedmass of students, or whether UBC's reputa-tion and distinguishing spirit emerge un-tarnished.

When the university 's policy became oneof admitting all those qualified to attend, itmust have been decided that UBC studentsand faculty would respond in the necessar ymanner, with the required spirit .

That spirit is the one which originall ybrought a unversity to B .C., and thenbrought it out to a magnificent site at PointGrey, and then proceeded to develop bothhigh scholastic standards plus the most au-tonomous student government in Canada .

In welcoming the Freshman Class of 194 6—the most important Frosh Class in th euniversity history—The Ubyssey urges al lits members to take the right path at thecrossroads, the path which has already bee nwell worn by thousands of predecessors .

tional homes will have to be found .It's bad enough for any would-be studen t

to postpone a university education for lackof a place to stay, but for veterans who havealready been forced by the war to miss val-uable time the situation is desperate.

Appeals to the general public have so farmet with considerable success .

One source of help may have been over-looked. It's just possible that if every stu-dent now suitably accomodated would askhis parents or landlady—"Could you findroom for another UBC student this year?"—living quarters for another hundred or s ostudents might be found .

The attempts could at least be male . Suc-cessful attempts should be reported to th eExtension Department orCanadian Legion.

Before he realized what she was up to, theRep took Homer's five-dollar booklet, whichhe hadn't even read yet. He watched herclosely, ready to snatch it back if she triedanything funny .

"You'll have to take English 100 and 101 ,and Math 100. What's your language? "

"Canadian," Homer answered promptl yand proudly .

"CARE WILL SAVE YOUR CAR "

By PETER REMNANTIT IS PROBABLY a little late

to be mentioning Shaw's 'Caesarand Cleopatra', but since It is soseldom that a film of such signifi-cance appears I have no intentionof letting the opportunity slide by .As a matter of fact I owe the filmamends, having gone to it in th eexpectation of a satire.

But Shaw's characterization ofCaesar is very far from satire, un-less idealization to the point offiction could be construed as aparticularly subtle form of satire .At any rate, Shaw presents abrand new Caesar paddling aroundAlexandria with, and there's an-other point, a brand new Cleopatra .

Because in spite of the libera ldisplay across the front of th etheatre depicting Cleopatra inevery one of the eighty-seven se-ductive poses, known to any hour ieast of Gibraltar, the film itselfsubstitutes for Caesar's rather ma-ture twenty-three-year-old play -mate a mere slip of a thing—saysixteen .

there is relaxation in any depar-ture from the old variations on atheme of two young things withthe libido of great apes, demonstra-ting the American Way, there isstill nothing like Sex for sellin ga film. Don't think Shaw doesn'tknow it .

To rome to the point, beneathall that Egyptian sand there lurksan alterior motive, and Shaw isat his old game of writing a playfor the benefit of the people whocan't understand his prefaces.PEARLS

This Caesar, with his ever-readypearl for the nearest swine, hisundampt sense of humour and hiscalm control of every crisis, is noneother than a neat enfleshment o fShaw's political ideals. And justabout the time that Shaw was wri-ting the play from which this fil mgrew, he was helping several otherpeople to found the Fabian Society ,

In this light some of Caesar'scharacteristics are worth consider*.

"Dear Sir :"Being over here in Germany on a Control Commissio n

"Many great figures in their own

Topics discussed at the 1946 con.ference included problems of marsFled veterans attending university ,intercollegiate athletics, studentadministration, cultural activitie sand intercolegiate debating. Thir-ty-one colleges were represented.

Date for the 1947 conference hasnot yet been set but is expected tobe some time in May .

From SPENCERS SPORTSWEAR . . . .

THIS IS TRUE"Therefore, I thought it migh t

in some way help if you could sendme a representative collection ofpast Ubyaseya—including perhapsa Science and a Goon Issue (al -though the latter is liable to con-firm their impression that al lAnglo-Saxons are mad!) Never-theless, it would certainly be stim-ulating .

"Perhaps later if you wish, Icould arrange for a regular ex -change but would have to consul tthe education officer to see if thisis possible .

Library Starts lChecking Book s

IN ORDER to facilitate checking

all outgoing books, a library inden-tification card, obtained at regis-tration, must be presented each

time a book is borrowed.Stack permits will be given only

to fourth year honour students

and those doing post-graduate

Several additional student assis-tants have been hired, and the

GREG KABAT. . , UBC's Head Grid Mentor

BACK TO THE OLD GRIN DALAS, SUMMER has gone . (What a punch line to star

a paragraph with! It's so obvious!!) Every year about thi stime comes fall, and with it comes another term of learnin' .So once again, we put on an intelligent expression and toddleout to dear old UBC.

At first everything seems about the same. There's stilla line-up at the bus just as there was when we left after th elast exam last spring. There was a line-up at the Adminis-tration too and there undoubtedly will be in the Caf. Yes,everything is about the same .

It's A Big Girl NowBut a second look around tells a different story. UBC is

growing even more than it did last year . It doesn't take longto find more new huts for instance . It doesn't matter whereyou go, there are plenty of 'puzzled freshmen and freshetteswandering around the campus ; even more than last year itseems. Yea verily, everything at the old alma mammy seemsto be going big time .

Keeping right in step with the general expansion idea i sthe realm of Sport. The Blue and Gold took long steps inthe right direction last year as far as sports are concerne dand this term would seem to offer even greater things to theguys and gals who keep our colours flying high in the sport -light . Just as an example of the way we ' re growing up, takea gander at the Stadium .

Slight Growing PainsPlans for the expansion of the Stadium are still unde r

way but even now, many additions have been made . Short -ages of this, that, and the other thing haven't helped matter sany of course . Nevertheless, all the seats have been painted ,the field has been renovated to a colour that would deligh tany Irish blood, and the track has been put into first clas sshape.

On the north end of the oval, an auxiliary playing fieldhas been whipped into shape . At present, it is seeded, an dso it might be a good idea to keep your big feet off for awhile .Also at the north end has been built a few rows of cemen teats following the semi-circular shape of the oval .

Drill Hall For PracticesStill at the north end, a large drill hall is being placed

at the beginning of what was formerly the 220 straightaway .It is large enough so that it can be used for football practiceson a slightly smaller scale .

On the far side of the oval, three tennis courts are beingThere will be two at the North end next to the aux -

y playing field and another at the south end . Next to thelatter will be an out-door court for the odd game of "chink "

something else like that there ., More seats are also being put up on the far side of th e

track . With the addition of these covered bleachers, the Sta -' dium will have a capacity of more than 4000 screamingspectators .

Radio and Press Booth YetBehind the new seats there will be a putting or bowling

green as well as a couple of jumping pits for the cinder men .Just south of the drill hall there will be new dressing roomsintsalled .

The crowning glory comes with the addition of a Radi o. booth and Press box at the top of the grandstand. This comesas a gift from the graduating class of '45 and it is certainl y

.4 welcome present to the world of sport . Now that the RadioSociety can broadcast the Varsity games, interest in our teamsshould blossom forth in great style .

It all adds up to the fact that Sport is expanding alongwith the University . It certainly looks like a great year forsport and for the Blue and Gold .

Hangar SolvesSpace Problem

ONE OF THE additions to theSports facilities o the campus thisyear will be in the form of ahangar all the way from Tofine.As yet the size of the floor is un-certain but the latest figuea mad eit 128 feet by 112.

This will provide a space ap-proximately equal to that of theArmoury floor . Although parts ofit are here at present, it is notexpected that the building will beready for use until after Christ-mas.

When the whole thing is builthowever, its possibilities are un-limited . The floor will be of as-phalt and will therefore allow forthree tennis courts as well asIota of apace for Badminton.INDOOR PRACTICER

It can be used for archery, golfpractices with the help of tackdrops and cricket practices . Thereis a possibility that in years tocome, a lacrome box can be putup and it is hoped that this willdevelop into a regular intramuralsport.

All the teams will be able topractice there . It will be largeenough for the grid teams to goover their plays or for the ruggerteams to practice their tactics .This would be particularly hand yon a rainy day when the teams.are supposed to play the next day .

The only drawback is that i twill be impossible to practicetackling but the mogals hope to

beat this problem too.

Swimkids ExpectSensational Yea r

FOR ALL the little fishes at UB Cthis year, the Swimming Club isready again . A big year is for-seen for its members by DougWhittle, assistant Physical Ed .Director.

The club went to the trouble las tyear of coming out on top in atelegraphic meet against otherCanadian Universities and WesternWashington . They also miteed theB.C. champipahipa and did verywell .

Notable in the former was ayoung lady by the name of KayWorafold who took a couple offirsts. However there are manystars of last yltar returning to theclub again this year.MANY RETURN

Among them ar Dick Ellis andLou Attwell both of whom favorthe back stroke . Two breast strokeartists, Jack Turner and Jim Haw-thorn will be back. The divers aresuch good men as Chuck Bakanyand Harvey Allen .

Besides all this, Irene Strong ison the campus this year. Mentionof her name is word enough thatbig things are in store for theswim fiends.

A meet is scheduled for the firstweek in December against ArchieMcKinnon'a team in Victoria an dit is hoped that challenge meetswill be held against Conferenceteams.

First meeting is on Mon., Oct. 7at 3 :30 . Members should pick upSwimming Club Membership cardsat the AMS office,

affair in the Faculty of Arta andScience. Although as yet the exacttitle of the degree has not beenannounced, the course will startthis term. Already there is an en-rollment of 41 men and eight wo-men for the course.

It is hoped that the students whotake this course will have two ma-jors when they are finished . Onewill be their Physical Educatio nand the other would be somethingof their own choice which woul dprepare them for High Schoo lteaching .TEACHER TRAININ G

This would qualify them to teac hone subject along with Physical Ed .in the schools . This is very desir-able in most of the B .C . schoolstoday.

The first year of the course willbe an ordinary first year Artscourse but there are certain pre -requisites which will have to betaken to enter the Physical Ed.course . Students will register forthis course in their second yearo: after completing Senior Metricproviding that they have the neces-sary prerequisites.

This includes courses such asPublic Health and Preventive Me.dicine, First Aid and Athletic In -juries and also nine units of Psy-chology.VARIED STUDIES

There are also arrangementsmade for study jag Exercise an dMassage, Athletic Coaching, an dHistory and Princiles of Physica lEd. and Recreation .

The course will total 60 unite asdoes an Arts course. However,hours will be longer than the aver -age Artaman'a in that there willbe extra hours which would bethe equivalent of a lab .

These lab periods will be takenon the gym floor or outside . Insecond year, there will be sevenhours each week spread outamongst Gymnastics and Calis-thenics, Team Games, Aquatics,Individual and Dual Activities ,and the Dance.

VOC Gets GrantsTo Repair Cabi n

GREAT NEWS has come to th eattention of those mountain en-thusiasts on the campus who ar emembers of the Varsity OutdoorClub . Council recently okayed agrant of five hundred dollars forthe group to be used for repairingtheir cabin .

The club is one of the few sportorganizations off the campus bu tnevertheless, it has done its shar ein bringing glory to UBC . Theyoperate a cabin on Grouse Mount -air, and although the accomodatlonis\limited, this affords them theprivilege of being fairly choosey .With the fairly tough require-ments that the club has in pract-ice, they obtain the guys and galswho will get the fullest benefi tfrom what facilities they have.

There is instruction in skiingand climbing throughout the yea rto preparation for the big tourn-aments that the VOC takes partIr. including intercollegiate affairs.

The Mountainmen made greatstrides last year in their inter -collegiate efforts at Mount Bake rand in entries up here in the dif-ferent tournaments held.

Club president Fred Roots ex-pects another bigger and betteryear in '48 and with last years'experience, things look ratherbright . That 500 smackers willprobably help a lot too .

Varsity stock was boosted acouple of notches when Bob Mur-phy, highly touted as the bestplunging fullback ever to lug the.pigskin for Vancouver College, re-ported for heavy duty last week .Powerful Robert, after a brief so-journ south of the border wherehe had been offered a myriad o fscholarships, threatens to form th enucleus of the Varsity aggregation,where his offensive ability will beput to effective use .

RUGGER MEN, TOOTwo grldsters, boasting much

prowess in their accustomed sur-rounding on an English ruggerteam, have decided to cast in theirlot with the American code . Do, .Nesbit, the lad with the educatedtoe, and Bob Starry, another boyfrom Lord Byng have offered thei rservices.

Putting the emphasis on condit-ion, Kabat has been consistentlyexhorting his charges to get in thebest shape possible . Indicative ofits effect on the summer-torn can-didates are the sweat-drawn via-ages as they drag themselves tothe showers after a season.

Miss Henderson comes from Tor-onto, attended High School in Sar-nia, and later returned to the Uni-versity of Toronto . Miss Hendersonhas played most sports, but whe nquizzed she mentioned Basketballand Softball especially .

NEW ASSISTAN T

Miss Jean Carmichael, a native ofour capital city, Ottawa, will beassisting Miss Henderson in th ePhysical Ed program . She attende dGlebe Collegiate Institute. Aftergraduation there she pushed on tohigher levels at Queens, Universityof Toronto, Columbia Universityin New York .

Miss Carmichael has participatedin most sports, including golf,swimming and skating, which sheseems particularly interested in .

SPECULATION has run rampant around the PhysicalEducation offices lately about the feasibility of broadenin gthe football setup on the campus . In addition to the Ameri-can football club under the tutelage of Greg Kabat slated t oengage the Northwest Pacific Coast Conference in gridiro nfray, an inter-faculty loop is being mooted. Possible entriesinclude the Arts octupus, Science, Law, Pre-Med., and

Commerce ,Bob Osborne, In unofficial con-

ference with the press is reportedto have favored the idea in theopinion that the 5000 husky malesnow cavorting about the campuswere capable of producing morethan one football squad.

The brand of football suggeste dwould approximate the Canadia ncode, leaving open the possibilit yof entering the Junior Board ofTrade league and even of stagingexhibition contests with the newlyformed "Big Four. "

NOT EASILY DONE 7BCThe P.E. Department chief sak i

that there were possible imped-menta to the sccheme . The presentdearth of equipment looms as th eoutstanding obstacle in the pathof the widening scope of sport a tUBC, and the shortage of footballgear shows no intention of beingrelieved In the' near future.

Again, lack of faculty organ-ization, specially prevalent am-ongst the vast horde of Artamen ,threatens to tie up big-time inter -mural sport, which until now hasbeen limited to fraternities an dother clubs led last season by th ehigh flying Jokers. However, ifthere be strength enough to unitefaculty spirit, approval should beeasily forthcoming from the mog-uls in the Gym .

Imagination could hardly con-ceive of the terrific appeal anArts-Science football game wouldhave for the campus . Picturing th ewell-drilled redshirts parading tothe stadium alonside the countlessarray of wandering Artsmen seem sto be a source of great interest . Itremains for the campus to get or-ganized and fast.—Turner

Reading from left to right :Bob Osborne (department head) ,Doug Whittle (assistant director ofphysical education), Ivor Wynne ,and Jack Pomfret. The ladies tothe left take over the femininesection of the department. Fromleft to right : Misses Carmichael,Henderson (director), and Clay.

SOMETHING new has been ad-ded and in this case, two thingseven yet have been 'contributed tomake the game all the more enjoy-able for Varsity's sport fans .

Both are donations from gradu-ating classes. The Class of '45 hashad plans drawn up for a Radiobooth and Press box to be installedat the top of the grandstand inthe Stadium while the Class of '46has presented the University wit na time-clock to be put up in thegymnasium .

The Radio booth is under con-struction at the present ime and i tis expected that the first Confer-ence game between the boys fromWillamette and UBC will bebroadcasted .

The booth will be made sound -proof and will be equipped wit hmodern apparatus suitable to car-ry the games to the pupllc in big -time style .

TIME CLOCK IN GYMBeside the Radio booth, a mod-

ern press box is being installed .It should, be large enough forfive reporters at least, The wholething will occupy the centre sect-ion of the grandstand at the ver yback .

The gift from the Class of '46is in the form of a time clock an dautomatic scoreboard for use inthe hoopla contests. It can mostcertainly be used to great advan-tage not only by the spectatorsbut also by the team and thecoaches.

It is expected that the clock wil lbe placed above the corner dooron the south end of the gym. Thisis the place that was formerlyused for broadcasting but It ispossible that the space can be usedfor both.

Um. He shows, at all times, ahatred for violence and extra legalacts, which might seem unusualin a conqueror . He meets all sit-uations, however, with strong selfcontrol, and the control of thos eunder him by means of rationallegal code . With such weaponshe can overcome any amount ofdisjointed opposition, built of fana-ticism and superstition.SHAW AND FILM S

Shaw has realized for manyears the tremendous power of th efilm industry, and the almost hyp-notic effect of the films, over avast and easily impressed Audience.In 1933 he pointed out Hollywoodas the most immoral city in th eworld, not with connotations of sex ,but with reference to the doc-trines of Anarchy which it wasirresponsibly pumping out to itsaudience. And It is worth men-tioning that that anarchist outlookhas become as prominent in thecomics with their superhuman,above the law heroes, as it has issmall time American politics.

The appearance of 'Caesar andCleopatra' was a wonderful piec eof timing, and it carries lemons ofmajor importance. Whether thoselessors were consciously directe dtoward any specific country, it isimpossible to knaw—their applica-tion in the face of a growing con-tempt for legality is universal .

Brltannicus, Caesar's scribe fromthe Western Isles, Is a delightfulcharacter and a superb bit offriendly satire on the Englidu, buthe is also the author of the mostdgnificant line in the whole pic-ture : Only as Caesar's slave haveI been truly tree,

ped him into sections and bundled him intorooms. All afternoon he bounced back andforth across the hollow square of tables, lik ea billiard ball gone berserk . When he wentto a table, the man would take his time-table sheet and make some squiggly mark son it. He'd go to another table and there theman would stare at the squiggly marks ,frown, scatch his nose, shake his head andsend him back to the end of the line-up forthe first table. There the man would cursesoftly, glare at Homer, scratch out the firs tsquiggly marks and squiggle in a set of newones .

"That's all I can do," he'd bark.As he shambled back to the second table ,

Homer looked at the squiggles and wonder-ed how the man came to have an importantjob like that if that was all he could do .

Triumphantly bearing the squiggles of th esecond table, Homer would pass to a third ,where the man seemed to find all the squig-gles very amusing. He laughed, a funnysort of laugh, and Homer laughed too justto be neighborly, until the man sent himback to the first two tables to have all th esquiggles changed again. He wonderedwhat the sign outside had meant about go-ing around clockwise . He felt there mustbe something wrong with his mainspring.SUCCESS !

When all the spaces on his time-table werefinally filled, Homer was delighted to findthat he was left with Sunday afternoonsand Christmas day free. His only disap-

pointment was that he had 8 :30 lectures sixdays a week.

"I live in New Westminster," he had ex-plained to the English Department .

"Beautiful city," said the Department ,squiggling him for 8 :30, section 78, HL4 ,

Getting past the remaining tables was jus ta matter of time, but when Homer limpedfrom the Armouries he found his brand, ne wfive-dollar booklet had been ripped all tohell . Well, they did it. He refused to goback to the Admin Building and start ove ragain. He never wanted to stand in lin eagain, for anything, He walked slowlytcwards the bus-stand, passing' a long line -up for something or Qther. His feet wincedat the sight . Not until he rounded the Ag-gie Building did he see what this was thequeue for :

The bus .Sniveling quietly, Homer turned his step s

back to the line's end, sagged into place ,and looked up into a large wart on the nec kin front. At last he was beginning to under -stand why the Registrar had asked himabout his standing in high school. Had hestood enough? he wondered. Were his feetready for college ?

Then Homer realized the advantage heand other ex-servicemen enjoyed : they hadhundreds of hours more queuing time totheir credit. This was just an extra-longpay parade, that was all . And Homer Quin-eey shuffled towards the bus with the lightof hope shining in his eyes.
