It's an old story, this story of th eCairn, and the great Campaign of1922, but It's worth telling again . Stu-dent council members retell it everyyear to the handful of students wh oare interested enough in maintainin gtradition to keep the Cairn's memoryalive .

On Tuesday at noon, students areexpected to assemble once mor earound the memorable pile of rockswhich still stands, ivy covered, befor ethe Science building, and pay tribut eto the pioneers of 1922 .

TRADITIONThe University of British Columbi a

has few traditions, but no Universityhas a greater tradition than the Cairn .

The Cairn Is the University .It Is a shrine before which every

undergraduate must bow his headbefore he can call himself a true sonof his Alma Meter . It is the concreteform of the nebulous something whic heveryone refers to as College Spirit .History is engraven across Its ruggedivy-covered face . Tradition standsout from every granite block whichis part of its makeup .

Until you have seen the Cairn an dappreciated it, you have never reall yseen the University .

But the Cairn which they built stillstands — a symbol of the Alma Mate rspirit which smoulders beneath theacademic exterior of the undergradu-ate body .

The Book Store

As usual at this time of year, it is almos tImpossible for the average hurried student toget a book in the Book Store. Although somestudents are served in a comparatively shor ttime, others have to wait half an hour or some -times an hour before they get what they want .

This inconvenience is quite avoidable .Stores have similar rushes during sales, an dthey manage to keep the crowds moving at afairly good speed. Even the Book Exchangeworks more quickly .

The staff of the Book Store is large enough ,but the delegation of one person as cashie rseems unnecessary as no time is actually saved .The salesman has to wait for the change be-fore he can serve someone else . One moreperson waiting on the students would make areal difference .

Members of the staff could, we believe ,move more quickly although they do workvery hard at this particular time of year.Surely too, it would not add greatly to the cos tof administration to hire students to work par ttime. If the proposed co-operative book storeprovides better service at lower costs, it wil lcertainly get more business.

University ClubIs the University becoming a rich man's

club? That question Is being asked acrossCanada by a number of publications and byprominent men .

The trend In Canadian universities hasbeen markedly in that direction in the lastfew years . Endowments have disappeared ,government grants have been drastically cut ,and fees have risen accordingly . The resultingrise in the cost of a university education ha sprevented a great many students from lowe rmiddle class and working class families fromcontinuing their education. State universitiesin the United States charge only a nominal feefor residents of the state, but in Canada, th eprovincial universities have been forced to in -crease their fees to previously undreamed o ffigures .

•In England, too, a wide system of scholar -

ships provides the mean s, for anyone with abil sity to attend university . The statement wasmade lust before the start of the war thatseventy per cent of the students at Oxford wer ethere on scholarships .

For students who do not live in the uni-versity town, the burden is especially difficult .Here at U.B .C. for instance, students from theinterior, or up the coast or the island have t ocount six or seven hundred dollars for thei rexpenses, a sum which can hardly be earned inone summer, no matter how good the job .Therefore, a student who cannot get help fromhis family, or who cannot get a bursary or ascholarship, has no chance to attend college .Brilliant students who obtain a scholarshipaften cannot attend university because the ywere unable to find work in the summer tha twould pay for transportation, board and room ,clothes, and books. Notice how many interiorscholarships revert to someone else .

On the other hand, there are a large num-ber of young people living in the city who com eout to the University for no other purpose thanto have a good time. It is becoming the"thing to do" in social circles in Vancouver .Such young people are wasting their own time ,the professors' time, and the taxpayers' mone ywhich might be used for far more valuabl epurposes .

The University to some extent is failingin its function of providing leaders for Can-ada . It is missing a great deal of good materia lin the poorer classes of the outlying regions ,where so many leaders come from, and it iswasting its faculty and equipment on materia lthat will never be valuable to Canada . Thisfailure is not the University's fault by an ymeans. The university grants across the coun-try must be restored and increased, and thenumber of scholarships and bursaries avail -able should be greatly increased .

Orator : "This statement, gentlemen, maytax your credulity . "

Voice : "What! Has it come to this?"

Ara OJicdI StoryI'm afraid that this is going to be a rather

unpopular column, but I want to get some-thing out of my system, so here goes . If youare easily riled, perhaps you had better no tread it. I know to start out with that fewpeople agree with me, and I don't expect t oconvert many by the time I'm through .

The topic concerns popular music . I won'ttell you my opinion of it yet, because I hav eto work up to sort of a climax . There havebeen a lot of people lately claiming that jazzis good, that it represents the spirit of the age ,and that it will live because of that fact . Theysay that people whistle it and sing it, andtherefore it is the only true "people's music" .That is partly true, of course. It does repre-sent the spirit of the age, if there is any onespirit, and people do whistle and sing it .

TIPPY TIN

But people do not whistle and sing it be-cause the themes are any better or easier t owhistle than classical themes. That is shownby the large number of themes of popularmusic taken from classical sources. I remem-ber one day a few years ago, I was very sur-prised to hear the bakery man whistling th etheme of the last movement of the "Symphon yEspagnol" for violin and orchestra by Lalo .The next day, I heard a grocery boy downtown whistling it . It was a week or so befor eI realized that they were whistling the verseof "Tippy Tippy Tin".

Nor are themes presented any more effec-tively in modern music . It is often far easierto pick out the theme in a classical piece thanit is from the tangled mass of syncopation andimprovisation of a popular orchestra.

Popular themes are whistled and sun gchiefly because they are repeated over th eradio so often that everyone hears themmany times .

PULP MUSIC

As for the permanent value of such music ,I believe that most of It Is In the same class asthe literature in the cheap pulp magazines. Itis often vivid and catching, using every de -vice to attract the listener or the reader, bu tonce heard or read, has nothing left . Thereis no doubt that it is primitive, or a large partof it. Our. reaction to the rhythm is the re -action of the savage to the rhythm of thedrums. It has much the same effect on us ashad the ancient dances at the festivals an dceremonies of savage tribes .

A number of modern dance tunes have ,in fact, come from the jungle direct to us . Ex-piditions properly equipped went out' into theAfrican jungles to record native drums andsinging. What they brought back was usedfor new "hits ." American and Canadian tasteshave been developed to appreciate such stuff ,and it was popular .

Professor Sedgewick—"God never mad esuch a fool as the 20-year-old . "

Students return to the University this year at one of themost critical and one of the most tragic moments , in the historyof mankind. In one brief summer, the war pictue has changeduttdrly. Free men everywhere see the conflict with new eyes : ,they see this civilization that has 'been built up for better or fo rworse struggling for its very existence . Universities as the coreof this civilization have a vital stake in the struggle .

Under such conditions, this University, like the others i nCanada, has a definite part to play. It must place its entir eresources at the disposal of the government, because it woul dsoon cease to exist should defeat occur .

It must turn out engineers of all kinds to develop the na-tural resources of the country, to expand its industries, and t oimprove the quality of its products . It must produce scientiststo discover, not new means of mass slaughter, but adequate de -fence equipment against the weapons of barbarism. Above all ,it must train leaders — men who can think for themselves, wh ocan make decisions, who can speak and write coherently an deffectively. By, fulfilling these functions, the University canbest serve at the present time .

There can be little criticism of the introduction of militar ytraining in the universities .

Many activities, particularly some of the major sports, wil lsuffer considerably, but there will be physical training for allmen in the miitary training . The only question that arises aboutthe training is "Will it be adequate?" We are ready to do ou rpart .

We can hardly expect everybody to listento symphonies and operas all the time . Apeople must have dances and songs that canactually be danced and sung.

I'm not condemning all popular music atall . There are a great many hit songs thatare not primitive nor debasing, songs thatanybody can enjoy, whether he belongs to th eclassic fanatics or to the swing fanatics . Suchsongs live with the people and will always b epopular .

An open meeting of aU students In-terested in any phase of radio will beheld at noon, on Tuesday, October 1 ,in Arta 1D4.

The society has been functioningfor three years, in a field consideredthe newest of th arts, under a handi-cap more severe than that whichfaced the Player's Club in its earl ydays during the last war . Officialsof the group state that they hope tobe able to base this year's activitieson a firmer foundation . How thiscan be accomplished, with member sstill able to take active part in broad-casting, will be discussed at the meet-ing on Monday .

The Radio Society extends aninvitation to all students who wishto make radio their major hobbyor Interest . There will be oppor-tunities to perform on the air, and,if sufficient Interest is shown, Itis believed that a number of radi oworkers would come to the cam -pus to assist in the planned acti-vities .The Society has a pledge of all ai d

that can be given by station CJOR ,and Dorwin aBird, former editor ofthe Ubyssey, and now Program Di -rector at CJOR, has offered to securetho co-operation of his colleagues a tthat station and CBR .

Experience is desirable in newmembers, but not essential, Clubofficials are more anxious to meetstudents who are interested in radi owork, and willing to co-operate to th ebest of their ability .

Are all freshettes alike? that's what a Phi Deli and a Fresh -man were wondering when they tossed to see which one o fthem would take each of two freshettes to the Frosh — ma ybe they'll both be lucky ! .

'A pleasant way to spend some time is to look around a t

Plant's, 504 Granville, at the thrilling selection of clothes fo rcampus wear — they'll be pleased to show you around andthere's no obligation to buy . . . corduroys and suedes are thenewest styles from "Mademoiselle"—college number . . . butafternoon and evening wear, suitable for sorority rushing par -ties are also being highlighted . . . smart jacket and skirt com-binations provide striking displays of sportswear . . . speaking

I of sport did you hear about the downtown student reporter ,who, having been invited to a house party, spent the evenin glooking for it on the beach . . . the hostess, who is the daugh-ter of a professor, found him on the front doorstep curled u pin her best pillows and blankets, which he had scoured th ebasement for . , . after making a chummy little phone call tothe sister of a colleague at three a .m. mind you, he decided tostay the night . . . the anti-climax of the affair came when aneighbour saw him leaving early and immediately phoned t osee what the big idea was, tsk, tsk , . . that was the first thehostess' mother knew of her nocturnal guest .

We 've just heard of the scienceman who apparently hasgone the way of all flesh with the announcement of his com-ing marriage next week . . , it seems that the red sweatere dones are human, too . . . Mouton, which looks just like beaver ,but is only one-quarter the price, is featured for campus wearat the New York Fur Company, 797 West Georgia . . , bothswagger and fitted styles to suit all occasions . . . there's anaddition on the story of the blonde Sigma Phi Delta and th efrog of 'last issue — he slept with the frog all night, and didn 'tknow it, of course, until it hopped out of the 'sleeping bag i nthe gray dawn . . . it was of the large variety that grows i nthe cold north — red with green spots . . . they have thetrickiest little hats to match the fur coats too, at the New YorkFur Company . . . one of the Phi Dolt members of the Totemstaff has given his girl friend a new pin—maybe she wore thefirst one out , .

If you really want to impress that beautiful freshette, orde ra distinctive corsage from Ritchie's for the Frosh, she'l reall ybe impressed by these college boys . . . like the ones somefreshettes have met in classes like French 4, when they dis-cover that they're in the wrong room half way through thelecture and with a great deal of uproar decide to leave thos ehallowed precincts . , . flowers for table decorations are bein gfeatured this week by Ritchie's florists, 840 Granville, for thesorority parties . . . chrysanthemums, carnations, roses are es-pecially recommended by Harry Ritchie, Aggie '40, for thes efunctions .

It seems the girl friends of two Phi Kap Pi's are fussy—by the way, one is a nurse, one a model at Hotel Vancouver —at a party at the Cave they disappeared, about the time to g ohome, and although the rest of the party searched high andlow, they couldn't find them, and nothing has been heard o fthem since . . . maybe they objected to the obviously socia ltendencies of the two celebrants .

Ho then takes his inkless fountainpen and scribbles "Category A" onyour form and tells you to go home.And if the next morning you have acold, blame it on the examination .The room is steamy and you feelgrimy after you pass out . You thenaro attested and you leave the jointa soldier of the king. Its a cinch .

Harmer even hopes for a moreexciting season, one that will b eshort and snappy . He expects th etoughest opposition from Victoria ."We've lost nearly all our line and

almost half our backfield, but apar tfrom that we'll have a good team, "Maury moans . But others are mor eoptimistic and point to a list of pros-pects including a line of Tucker, Cote ,Curry, Wallace, Orr, Mattu, and Gar -diner, and a backfield of Finlay ,Fournier, Teagle, Gus Carmichael, an da fellow named Harmer .PRACTICE NIGHTLY
