Exhausted ScribeDiscovers Hut 12

• ARE YOU tired of being apseudo-Pheidippides —runnin g

from the huts behind the audi-torium to the ones beside the II -brary, all because you don't knowthe numberin system set up byour "Walter" ?

This exhausted reporter decidedto figure it out and here is the"dope" on it :

The huts behind the auditoriumare supposed to be numbere dfrom 1 to 4, while those beside the.library are numbered from 10 to12 .

This is only a continuation of atrend that has been taking placefor some years now. More andmore students are seeking degreesthat give them something tangible ,degrees that seem to be sure tick -eta to well-paying jobs,WORLD TOO MUCH WITH US

This swing from the humanitie sto the sciences has been a sourc eof great concern to Arts profes-sors at thla and other universities.Many of them feel like Words -worth did that "the world is toomuch with us," that man is ne-glecting himself as he becomesmore engrossed in his machines ,his inventions, and his economi csystems.

Some of the more pessimisticcultural leaders have gone so faras to predict that technology willone day outrun reason, that manwill use his machines to destro yhimself and his world for ever .

Maybe they are right . In thedying days of the most . "rriblewar In history, our scientists un-veiled a new force that, with afew improvements, could destroycivilization in a few minutes. Theatomic bomb has sealed the fateof both the "victors end the'vanquished" of the next war.

TEACHERS NEWLY-IMPORTAN TThe gigantic explosions tha t

levelled, Hiroshima and Nagasak ishould surely raise our educatorsto a new level of importance.Once and for all, man must b etaught to live peaceably with hisfellows, even if it means neglect-ing his beloved machines . Theonly alternative is utter destruc .lion .

Why then, with this situationstaring humanity In the face, d ouniversity students persist in turn-ing to coures which offer trainin glimited to narrow technologica lfields?

Maybe the fault lies in our so-ciety; maybe we have built up apoor set of values. We suggestthat at least part of the fault lie swith the Arts professors, with th ehigh school English teachers, withthe people who are loudest in la-menting the swing to the sciences.STUDY OF MAN DRAB

They have transformed thestudy of man himself into some -thing dry, drab and uninteresting .They have dissected Shakespeare' splays until they have becomemeaningless jumbles of Elizabeth -an phrases, They have surrounde dthe study of history with a must yaura of meaningless hokum .

ATTENTION

All students new to this Uni-versity and those registered insecond year are required tohave a physical examination .Those who have not done so ,kindly make your appointmentfor this examination IMMEDI-ATELY. This does not apply toex-service personnel who areto report to fill out the medica lcard. Do not delay; attend tothis immediately . The Studen tHealth Service has moved toHut 2.

than at any time in its history . Forthat reason, it is being more ambl-tious than before ; German's operais far more difficult than the Gil-bert and Sullivan performanceswhich the club has specialized in.

Rehearsals for the opera ari heldeach week on Monday and Wed-nesday in Applied Science 100 at12 :30, and on Friday in Agslottlture

100. Auditions for parts in theproduction will be based on ma-terial used in the general ensem-bles.

Perhaps the situation is no tquite this bas at Manitoba, butthis year's unbalanced registratio nfigures show that something defin-itely is wrong. It is a queer edu-cational system that makes stu-dents more anxious to examinethe nature of inanimate object sthan to study themselves and theirfellow men.

It Is high time our Arts profes-sors got rid of the idea that the yare fighting a losing battle . Theyshould "sell" their counies, not byadvertising "Take Arts and make-10,000 a year," buy by .throwingout the hokum and scholastic non -sense, by once more making thestudy of man and society a vital,absorbing thing.

MUMMERS PAINT ROOM

UN-NAUSEATING GREE N

BY BETTY GRAY and JERRY WILLIAMSON0 ONCE UPON A TIME there was a green room . It

wasn't a pretty shade of green, in fact, it was a prettydamn nauseating shade of green. It had, indeed, a most de -pressing effect on the inmates; after a while they lookedgreen. Being, therefore, a bright and intelligent bunch, theydecided to paint it green. An un-nauseating, undepressingshade of green you understand.

So came the eve and they al lgathered, the girls with littl ebuckets of paint and the boys ,garbed in colorful if ill-fittingarmy rompers, sporting crocksof an internationally known bran dof dirt remover (no plug) . Thi sproduct is very efficient .

Not only did it remove dirt, butalso paint, cuticle and large patch-es of skin .PAINT IN HIGH SPIRITS

Abacchean orgy of taking in th evitamins in a truly epicurianmanner ensued .

Refreshed and rejuvenated, theywent back to their task, undaunt-ed by the somewhat revolting col -or scheme. At midnight they re-alized they should open a window ,the one that opens that is. .

It has been too bad that student musi-cians who helped pay expenses with part -time work in downtown orchestras could no texchange notes with non-union membersand put their pep to work for UBC . A well-organized band which would even have will-ingly played free of charge would have beena valuable campus asset and university ev-ening and afternoon dances would havebeen less painless to organize without unionred tape and wage restrictions .

However, now that the grief is over andthe powers that be in the union world haveallowed a university band to organize, weshould be able to plan for a full schedule ofmixers in our time budgets . Students board-ing on the university campus will need ex-tra recreation.

Red Cross work might meet with morecoed response if it were expanded to includ emap-reading, motor mechanics, day nurserywork, Alexandra Neighbourhood House du -ties, which were all offered two years ago .

Or perhaps it might still be placed on acompulsory place as an alternative for phys-ical training for first and second year wom-en. Penalty for incompletion of quota, couldbe withholding of university credits .

• ONE OF THE most uncompromising at -titudes to overcome here at the univer-

Student enthusiasm suffers a severe at -tack of "rigor mortis" when activities com epulsory in war years are re-established ona voluntary understanding . Shrinkage of theCanadian Officers Training Corps to one-tenth of its war membership is an indicatio nthat students, just like the butchers an dhouseholders protesting meat rationing, arein a control-avoiding mood.

This year, coed Red Cross work, al-though set up on an honor system throug hsororities and women 's groups, will probablybe bogged down by disinterest . It is usuallyall or nothing at all with activity, especiallywhen supervised by students .

To The Editor

A Religious InpasseNational unity can never be achieved

in Canada if religious groups duel and laythe blame for a split of nationalistic feelingto the tenets of the other .

Destructive criticism piles up an un-surmountable barrier of bitterness and al-though idealism does not seem to have paidoff in world unity yet a rational and unbias-ed analysis of the two "Canadian Solitudes"is the only method by which to bring abouta meeting of Canadian peoples, politics ,problems,—and perhaps even ideals .

Universities offer the proper ground forpractical idealism and any thinking studentis mind-free from ungrounded, warped, an ddestructive mass opinions which in som ecases are based on truths but are elaborate dand generalized so that they become ground-less half truths of far-reaching and section-alistic effect .

EDUCATIONAL FEATURE SNaturally there are other bene-

fits to be received at a university .Mainly extra-curricular, they con-sist of such things as social con-theta, friends, ambitions, ideals, orperhaps a knowledge of bridg eplaying. They, too, are actually .a type of education .

Another benefit we receive un-der the wing of our Alma Mammyis the power of endurance . Welearn to endure dry lectures, lon glabs, aciencemen, bus lira-ups, oa fline-ups, books-store line-ups—need I go on?

Suffice to say that at university,you get ample opportunity to teatyour powers of endurance.

you are the future citizens andpotential leaders of the world ."

To the upperclassmen this oft -quoted statement will doubtlessseem rather prosaic . To the fresh,it might sound slightly impressiveIt might.

No matter how it sounds, how-ever, there is one quality abou tthis statement that has caused itto be so universally and oft-timesquoted ,

Namely, It is true .And why should it be? Wha t

is there about a university tha tpromises a rosy future of world -conquering for its graduates?EQUIPMENT

Obviously the university studen treceives some world-conquerin gequipment that the not so fortu-nate or not so ambitious peopl eof the world do not receive ,

Of what do these benefits con-sist?

Primarily and chiefly comes th ebenefit of education . Althoughthere is some difference of opinion

ANEMIC PEACE PIPEThe world at large lolls idly on

It is never a wise plan to be a socia lostrich,—to submerge your brain in the sandof indifference and let the rest of the worldand its problems go by,—but it is usuallymuch worse to watch the world go bythrough prejudice-colored glasses, especiall ywhen prejudice-free minds are sorely need-ed to bring an ultimate meeting of Canad-ian minds .

Mr. Bowman has been no credit to theVarsity Christian Fellowship .

longso cool . , suslasting.

While the students here andthroughout North America, enter-ing into their first post-war ses-sion, shrug these details off assomething distant and more orless unimportant, the students InCuba at least take some action ,democratically, by voting a 24-hour sympathy strike.

STUDENTS RATHER SLOWIn sum, it is very apparent tha t

the students of the great democra.Iles are rather slow to help thecause of the United Nations Intheir effort to promote a truly co -operative world . In sum, it Is ver yapparent that some phase of uni-versity education is lacking, foris it not true that university edu-cation is meant, in part, to pro -duce world-citizens?

TRANSLATIONIn the course of the development of th e

so-called sport a host of technical terms hav ebeen introduced into the vocabularies of theardent climbers. In addition to severa lwords imported from various language ssuch as bergeschrund (translation : hole)and crevasse (translation : another hole)many local idioms have sprung up .

For instance, when a climber hears oneof his fellows say that there is an "interest-ing bit of climbing ahead" he usually call sa halt to write out his will. This term isapplied to slopes in excess of 75 degere sfrom the horizontal although under excep-tional circumstances it may be applied toslopes as gentle as 60 degrees if the surfaceis smooth as a plate glass window with ab-solutely no handholds . "Interesting" is anunderstatment. Any of the survivors willverify that .

"Just like Granville street," is a strictlylocal term which means that the trail hasa slope such that any person falling off itwill hit it again (literally) not more thantwenty yards downhill. Packing into campin the rain at midnight with a 75 pound packcomes under the heading of "good experi-ence . "

NOT VERY CRAZYIn spite of all this, people still climb and

most of them are crazy about it . Some arejust plain crazy . There seems to be some -thing about climbing that gets a person an dwill not let go. Once the victim gets thevirus he spends the rest of his days strug-gling up rocky pinnacles where even themountain goats seek an alternative routejust so he can have the privilege of writinghis name on a grimy piece of chocolate ba rwrapper and enclosing it in an equall yancient tin can for posterity .

There is no rhyme or reason to mountain-eering .

But it's fun.

Supposing this as true, as it ha sbeen proclaimed time and again ,then one object of our institution sof higher learning is to produce In-ternational students — student swith a common bond and a mutualfeeling of concern for their fello wstudents throughout the world .

After battling the forces of Fas-cism for six years and emergingwith a "complete" victory, i tseems rather Ironic that studentsthe world over have not yetachieved this feeling of a corn-mon bond, and have not yet be -come truly international students .

0 OF ALL THE many and varied out-door pastimes known to man the most

pointless is undoubtedly mountaineering .How anyone can find pleasure in clamberin garound on oversize granite piles is absolute-ly beyond the comprehension of the averagecitizen. Perhaps this is why climbing hasbecome the sport of the intelligensia . Per-haps nobody else is capable of understand-ing it.

To all intents and purposes the climber isa normal person once you get to know himaway from the hills . Of course he alwayscarries a small suitcase full of mountainscenery photographs, but then it may be tha the once took a trip east on the CPR an dwas fascinated by the Rockies .

PEEK-A-BOOOnce the mountaineer gets to discussing

peaks he gives himself away at once. Whereany of his sea level bound cousins would becontent to make some remark like, "Isn' tthat a pretty mountain," the son of the hillsis more apt to come out with something like,"Say, look at that sheer face there. If afellow had good nails he could get up thatchimney easily . "

He will then give a twist by squirm de-scription of the approved manner of inchin gup a cliff with nothing more substantial forhandholds than slight discolorations on th erocks. The red stains are better than th egreen ones .

When the climber gets a novice into themountains he is in his glory. He is alwayssurreptitiously glancing around looking fo rsteep cliffs, preferably overhangs, which hethen drags his inexperienced friend up, al lthe while loudly proclaiming how much

easier this way is than the usual route . This

is one reason why there are so few moun-

taineers. There are other reasons, but they

are too gory for publication .

Dear Madam :I would like to clarify three

points in the write-up of the Oc-tober 12th meeting of the Pre-Me dUndergrad . Society which appear-ed in your Saturday issue ,

1. It alludes to Dr . MacKenzie'sstatement that the Medical faculty"might open in 1946 or 1947," theinference being that, on the othe rhand, it might not. Ever sincethe appropriation for the facult ywas passed by the governmen tearly this year, Dr . MacKenzie'sintention has been that it shoul dbe operating in 1947, and that i tit appeared feasible to open it i ntemporary quarters a year earlier ,then intended that it should b eoperating in 1946.2. It quotes me as saying tha t

the Vancouver Medical Associa-tion was divided on the questio nof speedy establishment . I spok eonly of the personal opinions o fseveral prominent doctors (whoare, of course, members of tha tbody) whom I has consulted in a neffort to determine a good work-ing policy for the Pre-Med group .No reference was made to any de-cision of the Vancouver Medica lAssociation as a whole .3. It states that Dr . Dolman wil l

make a survey of medical schoolsnext spring . This, too, is inac-curate . The administration hopeto have Dr. Dolman commence hissurvey at the first''of the year ,and by next spring the job will b efinished and Dr . Dolman's com-plete recommendations will be inthe hands of the president .

Yours very truly ,PAT FOWLER ,

to reliable sources, his parentswere of Polish descent, and forfive generations had been dancers ,

There Is a story that once, anx-ray picture was taken of hisfeet and the picture showed tha theredity had affected one of them ,

giving it a partial resemblance tothat of a bird. As an ob trve rsaid at the time, "No wonder heappears almost to fly. He is almosta human bird."

Vaslav Nijinsky was born onFebruary 28, 1890, in the southernRussian city of Kiev . When hewas nine, he entered the Imperialschool at St. Petersburg, where hisfirst teacher noticed the extraor-dinary development of the mus-cles of his legs, and his ability tojump. When he was only 17, hemade his debut in Mozart's DonJuan at St . Petersburg, whore heeclipsed all his teachers .

During his first season with theImperial ballet, he met Serge Dia-ghilev, the man who war to man -age his career, and bring him tothe music-loving world's attention .After a debut in Paris in 1911, Nt-iinsky danced in the cities ofEurope, and then sailed for SouthAmerica, where he married theHungarian Romola de Pinsky,

During world war I, he was in-temed in an Austrian prison cam pwhere he fretted himself ill be-cause he couldn't dance, And itmay have been this internmentthat brought on the later tragedy.

In 1918, Diaghilev managed hisrelease, and brought Nijinsky toAmerica, where he danced at theMetropolitan, and then went againto South America . From Monte-video he returned—in 1917—to St .Moritz, and to his last tragic pub-lic appearance.

More than 25 years have elapsedsince that awful evening—a gener-ation has grown up that has nevereven dared to hope it might arethe great Nijinsky dance

But now the man 'mown as thegreatest dancer of all time isscheduled to dance again, at theMetropolitan opera, sometimewithin a month.

• THE WORLD thought Nijinsky would neveragain. For more than 25 years, the world's

dancer has lived in the dark night of insanity —incurably mad .

Once he was reported dead, a victim o fexecuting those who suffered from menta l

But Vaslav Nijinsky is not dead .

And Nijinsky already has dancedagain, several months ago, inAustrian forest, when a strangeman suddenly astounded Russiansoldiers by his sudden gracefulleaps and pirouettes.

Now Nijinsky is to dance againin public, in leas than a month a tthe Metropolitan opera house ,where he will dance the immortaltall role of Stravinsky's balle t"Petrouchka . "

And when the curtain goes upon the great Metropolitan stage, itwill be the first public appearancecf Nijinsky since the night ove r25 years ago, when Nijinsky walk .ed to the stage to give a recitalat St. Moritz.

Only a few months Wore thatnight, Nijinsky had told a friendthat he believed every great artistmust practice'-consciously or un-

consciously—self-hypnotism. Andin the weeks before that perfor-

mance, Nijinsky had been study-ing auto-suggestion, trying to pur-suede himself he was really th efaun he portrayed in the famou sdance "L'prea midi d'un faun. "

That evening he intended toshow his audience how dances arecreated by the pangs and agonyof the artist. As he walked to-weed the crowded hotel ballroom ,his wife spoke to him, and Nijin-sky thundered, "Silence . It Is mymarriage with God."

He strode down the middl eaisle, walked to the stage, turne dto the audience and said :

"I will show you how w* live ,how we suffer, how we create ."

Hut—instead of going into hi smasterly plroueta, and his amaz-ing leaps—he sat down in a chairand silently stared at the audience .

} The next day, Nijinsky was in amental home, and for years, hewas believed incurably insane . Hewould dabble In painting picturesof wterd butterfiles, distortedmarks and faces with hideous soul .

e" bows eye• until a famed Viennesephysician improved his conditionto some extent with insulin shocktreatments .

Many times, Nijinsky has bee ncalled the man of whom the bird sare jealous. At the height of hisgreatness, he could cross a stagein a single leap. Across Europe,

} and in the great cities of theAmericas, critics proclaimed himthe greatest dancer who ever lived .

Yet oft stage, Nijinsky was al -ways a colorless man, with a paleface, high cheekbones, and small,slightly mongol eyes. But—beforehis retirement—when he wouldapproach a stage, he became thecharacter he was to portray, andhis concentration upon his rolewas so intense, he seemed to walkin a dream.

swimming; the most difficultpart Is getting your feet wet . Afte rcompleting the first paragraph thewords flow like that proverbialstream. Well, now that we've gotour feet wet let's get right in theswim.

Sport on the campus appears tobe In for one of Its better years .With Canadian Football staging apeat revival and the Thunderbirdbasketeers spreading their wingto embrace the Pacific Northwestcollegiate loop as well as the localIntercity league, we have an ex-cellent chance of copping somesectional championships ,

Rugger RepeatsThen, of course, there are the

ever-present English rugger fif-teens who bid fair to repeat theirlast season's sweep of the fourmajor cup. put op for local com-petition. And given time to geta few games under their belts „the soccernen should put up agood fight for the elusive Imperialcup which just slipped out of theirgrasp last senor, .

But the sport that is probablyIncreasing more than any other Instudent participation Is hockey .Ica hockey, we mean, not theever-popular women's grass hoc -key.

Prairie PuckstersWith the influx of prairie and

eastern students, hockey haschanged in one year from a minorsport to an important part of ou rstudent athletic program. At thefirst meeting of Hockey Inc.,- ucouple of weeks ago, 60 playerssigned up here for Canada's fa-vorite winter pastime.

The stumbling block is, ofcourse, the lack of ice . But witha bit of co-operation from loca lhockey moguls this could, to acertain extent, be overcome .

Lack of LeaguesAfter scouting around the lower

mainland, Varsity puck organizer ,Bill Buhler discovered that therewill be only one commercial loopin operation this season. That 1 3the New Westminster ' IndustrialLeague, comprised of five FraserRiver mill teams. The Royal Cityexecutives were looking for asixth entry to round out theirschedule, a gladly granted theuniversity squad's bid for a fran-

chLe .But thin means that the students

will have to make a round trip o f56 miles (by actual count) everySunday night to get In an hour ofhockey. On top of that, only aquarter of the total number ofmen wishing to push a puck aboutwill get the chance to play underthe UBC banner.

Forum's FreeAt the other end of town is the

Exhibition Forum, Vancouver'sice palace . A group of local busi-ness men have put out an enor-mous amount of capital to giveVancouver a first class team t oplay in the Pacific Coast HockeyLeague. They are also sponsoringa squad in the junior loop.

So for three nights a week theForum will be used for hocke yand for another three evenings th eExhibition Association will openthe Forum for public skating. Thatleaves one evening per week ,Sunday, that Vancouver's home ofhockey is not being used .

Commercial hockey did well inVancouver last winter. At leantwell enough to keep out of the

red ledger . Yet this winter the

pucketers who play for fun aren'tgoing to get a chance to cavort .

Bright FutureFor Cricketers• WITH THE RETURN from

active service of several for-

mer cricketers, and with the large

freshman class of this year, the

future of cricket at UBC looks

.exceptionally rosy .

A general meeting of the Var-

sity Cricket Club will be held on

Thursday, at 12 :30, in Arts 108.

Business of the meeting will ,in-clude election of officers and or-

ganization for winter practices in

the armouries, New and prospec-tive members are particularly urg-ed to attend.

During the last summer, th eVarsity cricke club enjoyed itsmost successful season in som e

years. Start.ng out the season inred-hot style, the Blue and Gol dheld top spot in the MainlandLeague fo rthe first half of the re-gular schedule, displacing th ehighly touted Brockton Point an dBurrard teams .

STARTED WELLHowever, the UBC aggregation

slipped to fourth place in the sev-en-team league during the latte rpart of the schedule. John Powell ,popular skipper, unfortunately wasforced to drop out in June, due toan Injured knee, However, hi splace was ably taken by an ex -RCAF pilot, Jim Beard, who be -came a worthy addition to theteam .

With the many additional fel-lows who have learned the gamewhile in the services, it is hopedthat a strong team can be built up.Meeting time is at 12:30 in Arts109 .

Sandy Robertson, scoring cham-pion of last season is back alon gwith team-mates Reg Clarkson,Ole Bakken, Ron Weber and Pat-McGeer .

Gordy Sykes and Art Johnson ,both of whom left the squad ayear ago for different reasons, areback on the roster this year .

The rest of the crew are ex -servicemen, and many of themhave seen action with the forme rThunderbird quintets. Ralpn"Hunk" Henderson, who was aprisoner of war to Germany, re -turns to the pivot spot after fiveyears' absence .

Harry Franklin captain of the1943 club, and Harry Kermode ,another starry pivotman, are alsoback on the list . Ritchie Nichol,formerly with the Dominion cham-pionship Domino team from Vic -torte, completes the 11-man string .

Although the 'Birds won't star tcompetition in their league untilafter Christmas, they hope to stageseveral outstanding pre-season ex-hibitions here on the campus.

Their first tilt against the WWCVikings should prove quite adrawing card to all of last year' sstudents . The Blue and Gold quin-tet poured on the heat to acm ea 72-56 triumph after losing to theBellingham Vitamin Kids at Wes -tern Washington College, 60 .56 .

Freshmen PlaySophs Thursday• EVER SINCE those second

year hoopers managed to edgethe Fresh cage squad in that an-

nual Frosh-Soph classic, the fresh -

men have been aching for a chanceto get back at the Sophs.

And after much bickering, the

two outfits have decided to stagea rematch on Thursday at noo nfor the benefit of all luckless

casaba fans who were unable tosqueeze into the gym at the lastperformance .

This time, the freshmen feel

capable of upsetting their seniors ,and coach Harry Kermode backsup this feeling with the statemen tthat his charges are in better shapenow than they were at the las t

outfit will be able to fend of th e

attacks of the lowly freshme n

again, for Pat McGeer, Herb Cap-

ozzi, Bob Haas, Gerry Stevenso nand Fred Bossons have all im-proved their shooting eyes.

Basketball enthusiasts are re -minded to be in the gym early o nThursday noon if they hope t oget a seat .

Following the opening tilt, theVarsity squad hopes to entertainOregon State Beavers and Wash-ington State Cougars of the CoastConference when these two clubsmake their pre-season tour of theNorthwest .

The 'Birds are also hoping foranother crack at John Warren'sWebfoots from the University ofOregon. Although UBC lost outby four-point margins in both oftheir battles last year, they havehopes of upsetting he Ducks thi sseason .

Let Hair Down

• FRESIIE'rrES of the 1945 ses-sion are "letting down their

hair", "doffing sophistication", and"forgetting about their appear-ance" .

At least that's the opinion ofTotem photographer J . C . Welber-er, who has been snapping thefreshman dass for the past twoweeks .

"The women just flounce in, fluffup their hair, shrug their should-ers, and say 'I guess I look allright'," he marvels.

"Men seem to be getting value rthis year", he added .
