Open Letter e , .

To Dr. Carrothers and Econ. SocietyTo Dr. W. A. Carrothers ,and to the Economics Society ,

Quoting a few sentences from the report of a speechmade by Dr. W. A. Carrothers to the Economics Society ,R. C. MacDonald (C .C.F. Dewdney) has demanded the form-er's dismissal as chairman of the Public Utilities commission.

The Ubyssey has already expressed its apologies to Dr .Carrothers for the misstatements accredited to him in th estory .

The gravest mistake was a printer's error which was notcaught by the proofreaders, and which completely contra-dicted Dr. Carrother 's statement . As the story appeared inthe paper, it said that "Public ownership is improbable ",when his actual words were, "Public ownership is NO Timprobable" .

This was our mistake, and we earnestly express ou rregrets, both to Dr. Carrothers and to the Economic Society,for all the embarrassment and inconvenience it has caused .

To safeguard against any future trouble, from now onthe UBC will accept only reports of speeches which arecovered and written by staff reporters .

Yours regretfully,The Publications Board .

Overseas Ace VisitsUATC On Campus ,Tells Of Dogfights• WING COMMANDER Jack

Charles, 24 year old Canadianair ace, told of his air combat ad -ventures in a brief address to th eUATC at their Wednesday parade .

Wing Commander Charles, wh ohas a brother, Dick, now attend-ing the University, held his aud-ience spellbound as he explainedhow he swooped and dived hisSpitfire in his fierce aerial dog-fights.

He also told of how he won £500by downing the 1000th enemy air-plane of his squadron, bringinghis own total to 18} confirmed'victories.

When interviewed, Mr. Burkestated that his program for thecoming year will be to "build th eBureau Into the fabric of campuslife" by fulfilling its two wartimeobjectives

1.To secure part-time work fo rstudents.

2. To prove the value of theBureau in handling part - timework. This will prepare it to takeover full-time employment afterthe war.MEETING GROUND

"With the return of free compe-tition there will be a need for anagency on the campus to providea meeting-ground for employerand employee," he stated.

Mr. Burke intends to begin gath-ering vocational information whichwill be available to both graduate sand undergraduates and whichshould prove extremely valuable .

This week, Ed Friesen and th enew director will appoint an as-sistant manager . The candidate sare Joshua Long, Don Hammer-sley, Harry Aqua, and JamesCralgen .

Mr. Friesen could give no def-inite information about summeremployment . Regulations will beset by Selective Service and willprobably be similar to those oflast year.

Carrothers RefutesReport Of Speec h

The following is a letter fromDr. W. A. Carrothers, chairman ofthe Public Utilities Commission,which was received by the Uby-mey last week .

Our retraction of the story waspublished in the February 23 issue.

The Editor,"Ubyssey, "

University of B .C . ,VANCOUVER, B. C.Dear Sir :

I have been somewhat enter-tained by the report of a meetingof the Economic Society at whichI spoke on Wednesday evening,February 9th. Were it not for thefact that some people reading thisreport might really think I madethe statements contained therein ,I would not trouble you.

I think this report must estab-lish a new high in imaginative lit-erature. It would take rather along time to correct the inaccura-cies, and to do this is not veryimportant anyhow, so I am simplyrequesting that no serious atten-tion be given to the report.

It may be, of course, that some -one in making this report wasjust having a little fun. I wouldcertainly hope that it does not rep -resent the impression which wa sleft on the members of the Econ-omic Society, otherwise I wouldhave to conclude that my retire-ment from the University has im-paired my power to co-ordinatethought and language.

Yours truly,(signed) W. A. Carrothers

• THE WAR AID Council's caution money campaign ,which started on March 1st, was put over with such suc-

cess that the waivers flowed into the AMS office in far greate rnumbers, just from the first day's collections, than they haveever done from a whole campaign before .

To add to these results, the en-gineer's campaign, which will beunder the direction of their newpresident, Roy Morton, has notbegun yet. The science drive forwaivers will begin on Monday andrun for two consecutive days.

The freshmen, who are at pres-ent leading the race for the larg-est number of waivers, have al -ready contributed more than 50% .

Commerce, Agriculture, a n dfourth Year Arts are lagging be-hind the other faculties just now ,but the campaign is too young yetto predict which will be the win-ning faculty .

A considerable number of waiv-ers were also obtained at the per-formance of the "Count of Mont eCristo," on Wednesday.MIXER CANCELLED

'Layman's' Criticism Too Sharp For Even Staid Players' Intellectcan sing, act, or write any betterthan 'passably . "

The Ubyssey claims to be reaW-tic and practical . Then let it ceasesuch unfounded criticisms, andlook to its own house . If you wantto see good articles, Mr. Layman,give student ability a chance .Publish the articles offered. Cri-ticize certainly, but give the stu-dent a chance. And once again,when it comes to singing or acting ,be constructive, and be unsophis-ticated enough to say "Goodwork," when it is good .

To paraphrase your closing re-marks, "In general . discounting afew minor slips and discrepancies,the Ubyssey layman (or laymen )produced another disinterested, in-congruous production and mem-bers of the staff are to be compli-mented on playing their respec-tive roles to the utmost of theirability .

By TED ENGLISH• "Professional licence has gone

too far."This, a direct quotation fro m

"Iolanthe," is most applicable tothe criticism of the same operettaby the layman (or laymen) on thestaff of the Ubyssey . Many is thetime I have threatened to scourgeWinchell ; many is he time Ialmost burned the paper with alibelous letter to Upton Close . Butit took our layman to bring me in -to print (I hope) .

I have no grief for those whowilt under criticism, Criticism ishealthy. Constructive criticism isextremely valuable . But there isnothing quite so useless as apolo-getic and Inconsistent digs at anyperformance and nothing quite solacking in consequence as the wildassertions of an uncultured crit-ic .

It was quite unnecessary for the

"layman" to so identify himself .Anyone who would sit withinthree feet of the drums at a mus-ical production and believe him .self capable of a criticism, espec-ially of voice strength is, withou tdenomination, a layman to thearts .

Then we were "treated" with adose of backwoods chatter aboutfalse modesty. This, followed asit is by omniscient conclusions onthe abilities of the cast, dogmaticand sarcastic in true pseudo-pro-fessional style, can hardly beclassed as consistent .

If this is an average opinion I amforced to boast of a more thanaverage appreciation of musicaland dramatic presentation . Thi shas been my field of extra-curric-ular activity for years and I nowproceed to climb out on a limbtr answer the call for criticism.and to right an injustice.

From well back (at a profes-sional distance) my impressions o fthe operetta Iolanthe seemed tobe :

Firstly, a technical efficiency ofhigh grade . The sets were welldone, the lighting was better thanthat of the San Carlo company.Criticism on this score is onlyminor .

Secondly, a highly commendableacting performance (this from aPlayers Club member) . It is verydifficult to put over the charac-terization In a musical drama sincethe whole basis is unreal . The at-mosphere of Gilbert and Sullivanwas successfully maintained. Thebest characterisation of the typewas that of Keith Simpson . Thefemale leads were handled withcharm. On the other hand, th eacting of the Lords was not stan-dardized enough for the properGilbert and Sullivan background .

Thirdly, the orchestra and per -formers were well coordinate dconsidering their limited opportu-nity of practicing together . Thereare usually failings on this score .

Fourthly, the singing was an ex-cellent amateur performance. Na-turally the singers are not fullymatured . They are, like the "lay-man, " still university students.Considering all this, however, Iagree with the downtown critics,and Mr. Haydn Williams in par-ticular, who knows how exactin gthe yardstick of musical prowessin., and who has been most com-plementary of the production,made as It was under increaseddifficulties.

All singing was remarkablyclear . The voice of the FairyQueen was delightful, not power-ful, but well suited to the part.Alice Stonehouse, as Phyllis, hasa voice with real poslbilities; it

was strong, well controlled, hardlyforced . Elinor Haggart and theother fairies were delightful, andhandled their singing part ssmoothly .

As I have said, Keith Simpsonshows Gilbert and Sullivan abil-ity approaching that of a profes-sional . The male chorus, with itstwo leaders, was effective . and th ebest music, in my opinion, was thequartet, "The' Perhaps I May In -cur Your Blame," in the secon dact, in which the two Earls tookpart . There is no justification inthe remarks about the two chorus -es, unless perhaps the Laymanshould feel that the Musical So-ciety ought to bring in Grade Fivegirls to satisfy his restricted Imag-ination. in regard to fairies . In-deed, the one part in which I wasdisappointed was Strephon, alt olacked the very richness Mr . Lay -man somewhere found in his voice,

although it was quite fair other -wise.

In total, the very idea of Gilbertand Sullivan seems to have bee nlest to the writer (or writers) o flast Friday's article . He cannot,quite apparently see that "Iolan-the" is a light opera . The powerordeals of grand opera are not partof an operetta . The qualities ofvoice necessary are evident"nough. They are clarity, flexi-bility and humour. They are suc-cessfully achieved by the Lordsand fairies, and by the leads in"Ira anthe . "

Yea, indeed, look to your laurels,Mr. Layman. You will never gainthe approval of anyone picturingaverage opinion In such unglow-ing and pseudo-professional terms.Neither can you gain respect fo rstudent mental capacity by suchbanal assertions as that there isnot one among 2500 students who

• From The Editor's Pena

Sign YourThe National Red Cross Society has en-

listed the support of this university in thei rdrive for funds . At present, our annua ldrive for waivers of each student's cautionmoney is under way .

The sum raised by this means will b eadded to that which has already accumulat-ed in the War Aid Council's treasury, andthe total will be turned over to the RedCross at the end of the year .

The objective for this drive is a waiverfrom each student, which would amount toabout three thousand dollars .

All student organizations have been con-tacted and have pledged their support to theWar Aid Council under whose supervisionthe drive is being carried on. However,there are many students who do not belon gto clubs, and who must be reached by out -side personal interviews .

These are the people with whom thesuccess of the drive now rests . The committe ehas provided waiver forms, and boxes inwhich to deposit the completed forms at al lvantage points on the campus . There canbe no excuse on account of the unavailabilit yof the waivers if they are not submitted .

• RECENT RESEARCH has revealed anew type of animal on the campus . This

organism, which has the official title of"Resultaiana Horriblus," Is commonly refer -red to among those who should know betteru the Lab Gremlin.

Science students have long suspecte dthe existence of gremlins in their labs, bu tonly during the last few weeks has theirpresence there been definitely established ,

The Lab Gremlin, contrary to popula rrumour, is not an offshoot of the common ,garden variety, of gremlin . Indeed it is moreclosely related to the more destructive, butless intelligent species of animal, known asthe freshman.

The first gremlin was discovered, quiteby accident, when a fifth year chemical en-gineer happened to look at a bottle of ethy lsomething or other, which he had just emp-tied, and noticed a small figure climbin gout over the top.

With admirable presence of mind heblew the gremlin back into the bottle an djammed in the cork. He then headed forthe Bac. lab, to have a look at the critterthrough a microscope, but on the way heran into a wall which the gremlins had hast-ily erected where the door should have been,and smashed the bottle .

Now, however, students who had spenttheir lives searching for gremlins, and othe rsources of error, had something to go on .They orgastized a posse to search the labwhere the gremlin had been found . Theylooked inside all the lockers, under beakers ,behind flasks, inside gas jets, and unde rsinks. No possible hiding place was left un-investigated .

The search was overwhelmingly suc-cessful, uncovering thirteen gremlins an dseventy-six freshmen.GREMLINS SMARTER

The problem now arose as to how toseparate the gremlins from the freshmen .Several methods Were tried without success .Both types knew what two and two was ,but neither could add four and four. Finally,a successful method was found . All the cap-tives were placed under beakers. The onesthat got out were the gremlins.

Study of the individuals captured re-vealed several distinct types .

The most numerous were the pipette -nosed gremlins, which, with the assistanceof their cousins the burette-footed gremlins ,specialized in changing normalities and over-balancing titrations . On more difficult jobsthey were helped in this work by the indi-cator gremlins who subsist solely on a dietof phenolphthalein sucked out of solutions .

It is suspected that there is in this clas sa sub-group of methyl orange gremlins, bu tas yet none have been found.

Another interesting type is the pike -pole, or roller gremlin, which specializes i nrolling thermometers off benches,

Gremlins who have become too old fo rthese more strenuous .jobs are employed inwhite collar capacities, spending their tim emispelling words, spilling acid on reports ,and adding demerit marks .

In the Phys lab only one type of gremlinhas been found . This is the electricalgremlin .

it differs radically from the chemica lgremlins in that its movements can be cal-

WaiverSo far, the returns from the campaign

have been good, but because a few hundre dwaivers have been turned in, is no reasonfor the drive to slacken off .

The need, as has been repeated in dailypapers, over the radio, and by all method sof publicity, is great and will become greate rthan ever, before the war is over. Withthe promise of more and larger raids ove renemy territory, an increase in the numbe rof prisoners of war is inevitable.

It was for relief for prisoners that themoney was used last year . So far, the AMShas not decided for what purpose the mone ywill be directed in 1944. But no matter whatthat decision is, the immediate problem is tocollect the caution money .

The War Aid Council, and its chairmanare to be commended on the manner i nwhich this campaign is being handled . Theconfusion which has surrounded some of theprevious campus campaigns this year, hasbeen absent, and results have been vat-ifying.

In addition, a well-handled radio pro -gram was broadcast over a city station thisweek by members of Council and the Wa rAid Council to promote the city-wide drive .

culated. The number of watts In a DC cir-cuit, divided by the weight in tons of anelectron, will give the maximum number o fgremlins operating in the circuit .

The formula for an AC circuit is mor ecomplicated, being stated as follows : Nequals AVTRCLSMFT, or, in other words ,"the instructor's gone out for a smoke, an dwe can start cooking . "

Last Tuesday I interviewed a smal lelectrical gremlin in a Phys lab . He wasbusying himself pushing the armature of a nelectric motor around in the wrong direc-tion, just to keep his hand in, and he wasquite willing to talk .VACILLATING VIEWPOINT

The only trouble was that he change dhis point of view on whatever subject hewas discussing every time the polarity ofthe circuit changed .

He informed me that lab gremlins werenot really bad, or even overly mischievious ,at heart . In fact, he declared, there had oncebeen a time when gremlins would pitch inand help students to cook their experiments .

"Now," he stated, "we gremlins ar eunionized, and we are striking for recogni-tion from the lab instructors as legitimat esources of error. As long as such recognitionis withheld," he declared, "we will continu eto disrupt experiments, and spoil results . "

He indicated Reddy Kilowatt as th eprime example of what gremlins could doif properly treated .

Yesterday, I discussed the views ex-pressed by the electrical gremlins with awhite-collar chemical gremlin, whom I foun din the library, studying the latest data onqualitative reactions, and dropping bookson the floor as a sideline.

He scoffed at the views expressed byhis physicist relatives .UNCO.OPERATIVE

"Chemical gremlins have never helpe dstudents in any way . We have never com-promised our lofty principles of completeand overwhelming interference," he insisted .

He told of the days before demeri tmarks when gremlins used to shove whol eexperiments on the floor several times dur-ing an afternoon .

"We don't like the way things are bein grun," he asserted . "Some Saturday after -noon we'll just wander dawn and take theplace over, d'y'see."

While in the library I discovered an-other type of gremlin . This is the saw-tooth-ed backbiter, which rips the backs off librarybooks ,

As yet only one representative of thisspecies has been reported, so there has bee nno opportunity to study the characteristicsof the type .

There is evidence of the presence in thelibrary of another type of gremlin whichrips pages, but all efforts to find a livin gspecimen have been unsuccessful .

The theory has been advanced that, con -sidering the type of books which they wer eforced to exist among, all these gremlin smay be dead . Exponents of this belief pointout that it should be quite possible for dea dgremlins to function in the library, at leas tit doesn't seem to hamper the books any .

So far no gremlins have been found inthe Biology lab, but several instructors ar estill under suspicion .'

THE UBYSSE YFriday, March 3, 1944

The Editor, The Ubyssey ,Dear Madam :

I have read with interest thefront page editorial by your col-umnist, Mr . Scott, in Tuesday' sissue of the Ubyssey . I am surpris-ed that he should become so "ho tand botheredd" over a little frankand constructive criticism . May Isuggest to Mr. Scott that in orde rto be provocative it should not benecessary to make erroneous in-ferences .

However, Madam Editor, thepurpose of this letter is to expressmy gratification that "COTC In-fluenco" has brought such immed-late results . As those who wereon parade on Saturday will know ,I refer to the fact that the Ubysse yaccepted my specific suggestionand published on the same frontpage with Mr . Scott's editorial athree column story on Lt . Cmdr ,Gordon Stead .

This apparent change in polic yfully meets the criticism which Ihad the temerity to offer. I shalllook forward to seeing in the Uby-asey further articles on the a-chievements of other students whohave won distinction .

Yours sincerely ,Gordon M. Shrum.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The story o nLt. Cmdr. Gordon Stead had beenplanned by the Commerce Issu eStaff before Dr. Shrum's remarkson parade. This does not indicat ea "change of policy", even if itwas prepared by the Commerce .men . The Ubyssey has printedthree stories and one picture ofUBC students on the battle fronts .This is not an overwhelming aver -age for 38 issues, but our reducedstaff has not the news coverage offormer years . The Ubyssey wasnot protesting his criticism of thepaper. We realize our limited abil-ities even more than Dr. Shrum .We said the criticism was unjust-ified because it came on parade ,had nothing to do with the train-ing, was without previous consult-ation with us and was without anunderstanding of conditions. We

were not "hot and bothered" be-

cause of the criticism, but becaus eof the remark that the COTC

should have Influence in studen taffairs . We do not agree with this

view. Tuesday's editorial stil l

stands.

The Editor ,The Ubyssey,Dear Madam :

To be rigidly scientific in th epresentation of facts, or not to be ;that is the question . Whether 'ti ;nobler to suffer a bit of exagger-ation for the sake of the elgquen tflow of a friendly article, or t otake pedantic arms against it. Onone point I think we might b efirm: not to offend the armed for-ces by calling a lientenant-colone la brigadier. But what about "sev-en sons playing soccer"? After all ,one son playing English and Can-adian Rugby (with a bit of soccerfootball after joining the artillery )

, plus five playing soccer plus : 1

daughter playing grass hockey—all for U,B .C, at one time or an-other—are (roughly speaking, an dallowing a trifling substitution ofone item for another) equivalentto seven sons playing soccer foot -ball . Perhaps one should adop tthe attitude of Ko-Ko : "YourMajesty says, 'Kill a gentleman,'and a gentleman is as good asdead—practically, he is dead—an dif dead, why not say so? "

You see my difficulty : facts vs .style. I merely present the dilem-ma, without presuming to resolveit

Respectfully yours,0, J. Todd

The Sports Editor,The Ubyssey,U. B . C.Dear Sir :

It appears from your article onthe sports page of last Friday'sissue of the Ubyssey that you donot understand the situation withrespect to the B .C . Physical Fit-ness Program . We are enclosing aclipping from the Daily Provinc eof February 19 that states that th eProvincial Government is plan-ning to vote, not $16,000, but ra-ther $30,000 for the purpose of fos-tering the health of the provincethrough the activities of the Pro -Rec. It might be advisable, sir, t oacquaint yourself with all the factsconcerning a situation before youwrite such articles.

Though we are not Pro-Recmembers ourselves, we admir e

greatly the good work that this or-ganization is doing in all commun-

ities of the province . Pro-Rec is

something which is' made avail -

able to all, even in the remotest

corners of the province, and it cantherefore be stated to be far morecapable.) of fostering the Province' shealth than would the establish-ment of the Physical Education de-pertinent at the University, whic hwould cater to only a small per-centage of the population ,

You, sir, state that it is essentia lthat future leaders of our societ yshould be in good physical condi-tion . Why should only the futureleaders of our society be in goodphysical health? Are riot the ran kand file of our future society en -titled to that right, too? Are yo uabsolutely certain that this Uni •verity contains the future leadersof Canada and of British Colum-bia ?

In conclusion, we would like tocomment that the establishment o fa physical education departmen tat the University would undoubt-edly lower the Intellecgual leveland standard of the student body.Let us not grant university degreesfor the ability to play quoits orhorseshoes.

Yours truly,John S. ChurchRobert L. de Lyffer.

The Editor,The Ubyssey ,The University of B.C .Dear Madam ,

The three authors of the lette rin the Feb. 18 issue of the Ubyssey ,the three loyal but misguided sup -porters of a Students' Counci lthat has failed its responsibilities ,have missed the point of the"Front Page" letter of Feb. 15 .

The Council was being criticizedfor failing the trust of former stu-dents who have planned, workedfor and pate fora system and a

building that were to be admin-istered for and by the studentsIt failed that trust by loosenin gAMS control over its own affair sand by allowing the UniversityAdministration to step in whereit did not belong. All past coun-cils have respected the advice andthe powers of the Administration ,keeping in mind the necessity o fmaintaining the right to direct itsown functions and property.

The statement that "governmen tregulations, military training, and

the 'Administration' have greatl y

limited" the pewee of Students '

Council is hard to understand

Granted they can prove to be a

handicap in the exercise of powers ,but not a great limitation .

By making radical changes inthe operation of the business of-fice the Council declared uselessa system that had been develope dover a period of years and hadproven to be efficient. It dis-pensed with the services of a po-sition as well as a personalitywhom past Councils had learnedto respect as one whose vast ex-perience and accumulated know -ledge would serve their Societyand protect their interests in anadvisory capacity .

By asking for the resignation ofthe Proctor of the Brock Buildingthe Council displayed its lack o fknowledge as to the importanceof his position and, it seemed, tothe source of his salary .' No one wishes to belittle thegood work that every Counci ldoes, and the three authors mayrest assured that those of us over -seas received accurate reports ofthe accomplishments as well asthe blunders of this last Council .The enumerated list of accomp-lishments is a futile defense as itrepresents the activities of all pas tCouncils . We are all glad to seethese achievements, many ofwhich are the execution of plansformulated by recent Council .;who could not put them into ef-fect because of existing circum-stances .

The point that states that Coun-cil is on better terms with the'Administration' is not one to beproud of if it has been at the ex-pense of allowing the control ofthe AMS to slip. We could alsosay that Italy put herself on bet -ter terms with Germany whenshe allowed the Huns to overrunthe country . (My apologies to theAdministration for a rather grimcomparison . )

Now that another Council hasbeen elected, the happenings ofthe past may be forgotten—wehope not . Let us hope that nex tyear's Council will realize its re-sponsibilities not only to the pres-ent student body, but to all thosewho are proud of having built theAlma Mater Society into an effi-cient self-governing body for thebenefit of those who follow after .

Yours truly ,(signed) Charles W. Nash

ABSORBINGWhen the family moved to Ker-

risdale, Snowball became MapleGrove' s prize pupil . Soon ,Roberthad absorbed all that Point GreyJunior High and Magee couldteach him, It was during thi speriod that "Snowball" gained in •ternatlonal fame as a ping-pong(with apologies to the Sports de-partment) player and lead corne tin the Kitsilano Boys Band.

Then he came to UBC. He soonbecame known as the only studentwho could not see over the to pof the Caf tables. From here onevents moved swiftly . The annualCoed was announced . The culmin-ation of "Snowball's" career wa sat hand. He entered the competi-tion for the Dogpatch Crown .From a close competition "Snow -ball" emerged victorious. Amidall the splendour of a medieva lcourt, he was crowned King"Snowball".

Even in his greatest hour "Snow -ball" retained his humane qual-itles. He was kindly, modest an dunassuming to the end . Althoughhis reign was brief, the memor yof this august monarch will remainlong in our hearts .

Birds Play Western Washington• Off The CuffBy CHUCK CLARIDGE

Inter-Collegiate Hoop ContestToday At Noon: Pass Feature

contest . This American College team is one of the outstanding squads in the Northwester n

By ERNIE ROY• THE TRAINERS have

proved themselves bothcapable a n d efficient inhandling their positions ontheir respective teams. Thegreatest help they have hadin this respect has been fro mthe weekly lectures given byDr. L. E. Ranta of the Bac-teriology Department .

To give people on the campus

an idea of what a trainer learns,

here is an outline of the course

• ELSEWHERE in this sheet is a letter to the editor fro mtwo students who disagree with things said concernin g

this column a week ago on the matter of establishment o fa Physical Education department on the campus .

These two gentlemen are apparently annoyed with afew of the statements I made which they thought should no tbe so .

But in their concluding paragraph lies one main faul tof their argument which idea, unfortunately, is taken by al ltoo many people these days .

"The establishment of a Physical Education Departmen tat the University would undoubtedly lower the intellectua llevel and standard of the student body, " they say. "Let usnot grant the University degrees for the ability to playquoits or horseshoes . "MORE THAN PLAY GAMES

Could anything be more foolish? Do they think that acourse and a degree in Physical Education are just going t oentail an ability to play athletics well? Do they think tha tstudents taking such a course would do nothing but playgames all day ?

Physical Education takes in a much broader field tha nappears on the surface. For instance, a course in Bacteriologyb on the proposed curriculum which would give studentsan insight into preventive medicine .

As for lowering the intellectual level of the student body ,do these two writers think that a man or woman should bedenied the right to obtain a degree in any field in whic hthey are proficient ?

Students take honours in Chemistry because they likethe subject and are capable of handling the material under-taken. Likewise the majority of students at this Universityare experts, or claim to be, in the subjects of specialization .ARE YOU WORRIED?

Is that any reason why they should be denied the righ tto take Chemistry or any other subject? Perhaps you ar eworried because someone should come along and be grante da degree because he has the athletic ability, which yo uhaven't, to obtain any degree offered .

Mr. M. L. Van Vliet, our men's Physical EducationDirector, has a Master of Science degree in Physical Educa-tion from Oregon, which, I don't think anyone will agre ehas been granted because of "the ability to play quoits o rhorseshoes . "

The University is a place far the training of studentswho will go out and take their place in the world . PhysicalEducation Instructors, which would mainly be the purposeof taking such a course, are just as much in need, or moreso, now that the Government has granted money for Physica lfitness throughout Canada.MONEY NOW FOR PRO-RE C

The writers also state that, because the money has bee nvoted to the continuance of Pro-Rec work throughout th eprovince, this would be "far more capable of fostering theprovince's health than would be the establishment of aPhysical Education Department at the University . "

That point Is granted as being essential to the Province ,but I would like to ask the writers if they know where th einstructors for such a program would come from unless som esystem of training them could be established.

This is where such a department would show its primeessentiality. Properly qualified men are just as much neede dfor a program such as this as they are needed in the fieldsof engineering or any of the pure sciences .

Many other departments are needed at this Universit yto provide a full curriculum for students, but if the money i slabeled for Physical Education, why not place it where i tcould be used to the most good ?
