The Ubyssey Sharpens Up, Even . MoreWhen UBC students returned to the campus in January, 1941, the y
found that their favorite campus newspaper had gone through a typo -graphical revolution. All the stories started off with grandiose black dotsand 'capitol letters, the type-faces were different, and column rules,—th ethin lines between each column of type—had been done away with .
That razzle-dazzle, snake-hips, make-up was abandoned bit by bit ,until now, after six years of experimentation, The Ubyssey is back i ntraditional newspaper dress . The last step was taken with today's Issue--the revival of column rules .

A decision against embarking on another public campaig nfor increased DVA'grants was ratified at a general meeting ofthe local branch 72, of the Canadian Legion, held Wednesday ,January 15 . At the same time, proposals for

The cost-of-living bonus idea wassupported by Branch 72 at the Con-ference on the basis , of its previouslydeclared intention to pursue its poli-cy of asking increases only in theevent of a sharp rise in the cost ofliving, causing mass withdrawals fromthe University Training Program, I twas felt by the Branch, as a result ofthe recommendations of its executive,that in view of the government's re-fusal to even consider new demandsfor increases at this time, pressingany campaign for this purpose wouldnot be effective

LETHARGY IN HIGH PLACE SThe Ubyssey is constantly amused b y
certain student officials who generally thin kvery little of The Ubyssey 's opinions and effec-tiveness, but who suddenly find the paperabsolutely indispensable whenever they happe nto be organizing some event.
Most amusing of all recently have been th emembers of the Elections Committee of th eStudent Council, who when confronted withthe necessity of running the AMS elections o na more practical basis could think of very littleelse but allowing the candidates to put upanother couple of posters a>}d to put anothe rlwndred or so ' words in $tatements to beprinted in The Ubyssey,' In passing, it might be noted that no one
tools tfto troubled to Consult Ubyssey editorsabout this step . Yt is true that the pape rbelongs to the students and should be for thei rservice, byt;it ip also true that the people wh odo the work in producing the paper migh tprofitably be consulted about appropriat elengths of statements. Those editors, however ,are :used to such types of officials and shall d otheir best to co-operate ,
But this paper would also like to kno wwhen on earth the Elections Committee is goingto shake itself out of its lethargy and spend alittle. more time on the problem. Actually, thethree members should have started work onrevision of their regulations last fall, instead o fwaiting until several groups, including TheUbyssey, prompted them to act this Month,
In fact, there were recommendations standing
over from last year's committee which this
year's group hadn't apparently bothered to
read.
The few changes made so far are ludicrous
and still leave the regulations inadequate for
a campus of nearly nine thousand voters. Add-
ing several posters and lengthening statements
is not enough to gain the interest necessary .
There are indications already from some of
the candidates that they intend to campaign
on a scale far beyond the limited imagination
of the Elections Committee . If the committee
does not act soon it will be faced with man y
rule infractions, and it will have only itself to
blame.
Practically nothing has,been, done to ensure
that the polling is carried on as efficiently as
it might be. For one thing, it is ridiculous to
assume that an electoral district housing nine
thousand people can be accomodated on vot-
ing day in the foyer of the auditorium . Why
not set up polling booths according to faculty ,
making it easier for students to vote and for
officials to scrutineer ?
It is true that the Undergraduate Societiee
Committee is working out suggestions for re-
vision, but why has the Elections Committee
not done a little work itself on the problem ?
In that way, alternative suggestions could be
considered, rather than having a block of ideas
adopted at the last minute for the sake o f

Psychology, thought by many tobe
the most vital branch of science today ,
is no longer theory without applica-
tion. This comparatively new fiel dof thought is past its infancy. Now
it has reached its youth and the worl dis becoming aware of its power ..11X.
In Australia, two schools have lift-ed the theories of child psychology
out of the text book and found how
well they actually work . One school
is in Sydney, the other in Geelong,
near Melbourne. One need only com-
pare the children of these schools with
those of state schools to realize their
future value to society .
A government school Inspector re-
ported that he has never met children
more advanced in academic study
than the children of one of thes e
schools, St . John's Grammar School,
in Sydney.
A. S . Neill, whose books have de -
lighted and inspired parents in every
land, has a school in England which
will be considered progressive twenty
years from now . This school is des -
cribed in his books The Problem
Child, That Dreadful School and The
Problem Parent.
Encouraging results have been ob-
tained by H. B. Fitch, principal of
Templeton Junior High, in Vartcou•,ver, Here students run their ownschool . They have a wide variety ofcourses from which to choose and arenot weighed down with unnecessaryburdensome homework. Through astudent council the children disci-pline themselves . The teachers, thusrelieved of much detailed admipistra-tion, have more time to make classesinteresting. Most important of allthe students love it.
To carry out this work on a na-tional scale would involve tremendou sexpense . Teachers would have to bethoroughly trained, salaries raised ,
classes cut, and students subsidised.
The cost, however, Is trifling com-
pared with the results obtained . Psy-chologists tell us that the character ofa person is formed within the first
seven years of his life . This is when
it is decide] whether a person is to
become a murderer or a statesman. I
believe we have enough murderers .
Consider the existing educationa l
system. Few believe it is beyond im-
provement. The dread of examina-
tions is mlltiplied in some particu-larly sensit ve children until they ar eliterally sick with fear. Gloomy gram -mar presented by dreary teachers issomething most children would muchrather avoid . And why study lan-guages at a tl if such training does notenable us Io use them ,
The system is obsolete. It neverhas, nor never will produce worth -while citizens until vast changes havebeen made, As Brock Chisholm hassaid, the reason we must make waramong ourselves every twenty yearsis that there have never been enoughmature people in the world to pre-vent it . If we do not allow maturepeople to develop how then are weto have any?

RELIEVE TENSIO N
These comments could be excerpts
from any of many new radio pro-
grams, teen town columns, or mock
courts which are beginning to sprin gup throughout the continent . The
feature they have in common is that
the old roles are reversed, children
rather than their parents are given
an opportunity to ask questions
criticize their parent's technique of
child training, and put forth their
oWn suggestions as to better methods
of discipline, Most of them deal wit h
the age-old problems of homework ,
disobedience, getting to bed on time,
responsibility for household chorea,
pocket money, even behavior prob-
lems such as lying and stealing.
REAL VALUE
I am convinced that such enter-
prises which encourage an objective ,constructive attitude on the part of
both parents and children can make
a contribution toward improving the
mental health of our youth. Psychol-
ogists since the time of Pericles have
recognized the value of emotional
catharsis as a means of relievingpent-up tendon. Gripe sessions are
used in the army, people talk out
their resentments a9d worries withfriends, "Complaint Boxes" are avail -able at many places of work . All ofthese are a kelp in getting the poi -sons of , hostility and fear °out of thesystem. Children are learning earlythe effectiveness of being able teitals their complaints frankly in acontrolled setting.

FREEDOM NEEDED
Naturally by virtue of their greater
experience and better judgement,parents must lay down rules and dic-

child's life . Yet within the limits se tby parents, there should be freedomof choice for the child in many
things—a freedom which is too often
not encouraged, or even permitted,
by over-possessive parents. Yet welearn by our awn experiences par-
ents, by taking every responsibility,deprive their children of this.

In the opening section of the film,the audience takes a trip to the starsby means of solar photographs takenthrough the 100-inch telescope of Mt .Wilson Observatory in southern Cali-fornia, and views complex gyrationsof the solar systems .
Lapse-time photography Is utilizedto demonstrate the beauties of nat-ural science.

Dear Sir:It was indeed disappointing that Th e
Ubyseey chose not to carry any reportof last Wednesday's meeting of th eLegion. Some of the decision. reach-ed there directly affect the welfareof 5000 veterans on the campus andsurely have a news value equal to th e"Deep Alva Boy.".
For instance, one important resultof the meeting was that the UBCLegion, which for the past year he .Icondstentiy supported proposals forincreased grants, voted down a motio nthat a campaign for a cost of livin gbonus be Inatgureted . Speakin gagainst this motion, President GrantLivingebone asserted that he was op -posed to any insane campaign unless"circumstances altered radically and
it could be proved that veterans wereleaving University en masse for fi-nancial reasons Executive Don Lana-kail pleaded with the members notto "embarass" the government in its"fight against inflation" by askingfor more money .
Surely this change of policy andthe accompanying pronouncements bystudent veteran officials are of suf-ficient interest to the average vet towarrant being published . In view ofthe fact that all other Legion meetingshave been given publicity In you rpaper, why this particular omission ?
Yours truly,JACK HOWARD,
Dear Sir :For nothing better to do ens night,
a friend of mine and I added up theW. M. vm totals as printed in TheUbyseey on Tuesday, January 14 andwe were amazed to find that eitherthe printer or the gym office had ad-ded $$201,023 .90 and $32,000.00 and $37,•500.00 with the amazingly nathenatic •a1 incorrect answer of $271,023 .90.Truly amazing, isn't It?
And something else puzzles me:why was $8,036.49 listed with nosource attached?

Varsity With Banff Entry

Down "Y" Squad
Victories in all twelve events anda 4-1 win in an Aquabolo game iswhat the Varsity Swim Club canboast of After Saturday night's swi mmeet with the Vancouver YMCAAquatic Club .
Neither team was at full strength,but the Varsity people especiallywere at a deficiency since neithe race swimmers Irene Strong nor DickEllis were present,
Aquabolo Is something similar towater polo . Instead at each end of thepool there is a basket as in basket-ball and a gong on the backboardjust above the basket . If the playersinks a basket he gets one point ; Ifhe hits the gong he also gets on epoint, If he can do both he gets twopoints,
This new game, born of the geniusof a Vancouver army veteran, hasthe trace of many xough-and-tumblesports. Even though the quarters areonly two and a half minutes long,fatigue called for many substitutions .
Invented by Norman Cox of th eVancouver YMCA, Aquabolo allowsanything and everything within rea-son. If a player won't let go of theball, it is up to the other player tomake him let go. Substitution is al-lowed at any time and ends arechanged at each quarter and aftereach point is scored .
Following are results of the swim-ming meet :
Forty yard freestyle; men—FredOxenbury 18.2-5 seconds; women—Kay Worsfold, 30 seconds.
Forty yard backstroke; men—JimHawthorne . 36.3 .5 seconds; women—Kay Worsfold 26.3 seconds.

What with the last minute entry of the University of Wash-
ington Huskies ski team in the big inter-collegiate ski meet a t
Banff this weekend, the UBC planksters are beginning to won -
der if the downhill, slalom and giant slalom courses are going
to be a bed of roses .
But Coach Peter Vajda is sure of one thing, and that is his
ski team is composed of the best skiers on the campus . After
long and careful picking from the multitude of skiers at UBC ,
Coach Vajda has selected his 11 men who will entrain tonigh t
the popular Alberta ski centre .Leading the list are such ski star s
as Gar Robinson, Doug Fraser, GordyCowan, John Frazee, Don Anderson ,Gordy Hall, Gordie Martin, Arni eTeesdale, Jack Skinner, John Barryand Gerry Lockhart ,
Selected skiers from the Universit yof Manitoba include Ken Wallace,Eric Martin, Bill (Tiger)'Milne, KerbyGarden, Pete Crawford and Ray Beek .
The Gateway, official publication ofthe University of Alberta, said "fromNorm Rault, Clarence Haakenstad,Bill Mustard, Bob urner, Bob South-erland, Dave Freeze, Bob Freeze andBill Armstrong, a six-man aggrega-tion will be selected for the com-petition, "
In the past, the team has competedwith the Huskies at Martin Pass—the Huskies home ground . Now,neither team has had a chance to rac ethe course and the team members areanxious of the result. But this inter -collegiate meet is not the only eventCoach Vajda has entered his severa lteams in.

Chiefs Win, LoseIn Weekend Games
Doug Whittle's Chiefs managed aneven split over the weekend, as the ywhooped it up Friday eve at th eExhibition Gardens and took th eStacy's into camp 41-35, only to bowbefore the league-leading Meralomaquintet the next night by a 45-39score .
The Friday night contest proved tobe an uphill battle for the studentsfrom wire to wire . Playing a-ruggedand rough brand of ball, the Chief scaught the Shoemen in the third quar-ter at a 23-all score, and went on t orack up a six point margin in th enext 15 minutes,
STACEYS LEADBroadhead sparked the Chief attack
in the first panel, as the Blue an dGold barely managed to keep in thegame, Stacey's going ahead, 23-19 .Ken Wright's somewhat torrid aggre-gation maintained the margin to thehalf time gong, when they loped offthe floor on top of a 23-19 count ,
After the breather, the Chiefsstraightened out their sights, an dhung up a large eight points whil elimiting their opponents to a meagrefoul shot . The scoreboard read 27-24as the Chiefs and Stacey's pell-melleclinto the final heat, and Blue andGold were never in trouble for th enext 10 minutes ,
Height and experience pared offwith dividends in the Saturda ynight contest . Sandy Robertson, IvorWyn, and the rest of the Physica lEducation Department on the Mere-loma roster allowed their younge rconfreres in casaba a brief lead i nthe first quarter, but passed them i nthe second to control the gamehandily to the final wire .
CHIEFS SECONDThe win for the Meralomas main-
tained their undefeated streak, an dclearly established them in mld-season as the class of the loop. TheChiefs arc currently tied for secon dplace with the Royal City Adanacs ,who took the measure of the lowl yLauries on Friday night .
CI-IIEFS--Bajus, Bossoms 7, Mitchel ,Town 6, Broadhead 5, Cook 2, Letna m6, Boyne 9, McLeod 2, Capozzi 4, Mc -Keachiei. Total;41,
Off to a slow start, it was 8-0 for thevisitors before the 'Birds could man-age to find their checks . A fast pass-ing attack was working nicely forthe Rockets and things looked ba dfor the Varsity squad. But then i thappened and the 'Birds came to life .
The local students didn't stop unti lthey had scored twelve straight point sand they kept that lead from ther ein to the tape, The Bremerton squadseemed to grow tired under the rapi dpace kept up by the continual streamof 'Birds and soon the shooting eyesof the Bremerton lads was so far off ,that discouragement set in,
McGEER HIG HPat McGeer ended up with the scor-
ing honors for the night with a large16-point total for his efforts . Thedependable Ron Weber took nine an dNev Munro, who is quickly becominga first string artist, notched eight o fthe best.
As coach Osborne threw in the re -serves consistently, the fans saw alittle more than usual of the boys whohave been patiently waiting thei rchance . The work of Bobby Scareand Gerry Stevenson looked impres-sive and once again the crowd cheer-ed the antics of "Long John" Forsythe .

Inter B Hoopster sBowToArrow Five
Misfortune continued to ride in theVarsity Inter B hoop chariot againFriday night when the campus Gagerstook an almost traditional two-pointlobs, this time a 27-25 nose-out fromthe Arrows quintet . The Friday nightaHAlr was the sixth of such contestsin which the Inter B boys have over -atone a deficit, only to drop the gameat the last moment .
Arrows led the etudes by a 14- 3count early in the game, but a poin tmaking streak from the Blue an dGold outfit put the count at 25-23 forVarsity, But the truckmen came bac kwith two quick baskets in the dyingminutes of the struggle :to leave thefrustrated Varsity crew on the lowerside of the scant win margin.
Dark horse of the UBC perform-ance was Walt Manning, who Wentberserk in the third quarter to ;putVarsity back in the running ,and rackup seven points for himself,
Ruggermen Pre pFor Trip South
Preparation for the biggest sportevent of the year, the invasion of th ecampus by the rugger team of theUniversity of California, is keepingthe boys of the local rugby squadsbusy these days. Perspiration is be-coming second nature to the studentsas strenuous workouts are the orderof the day .
Unable to use the open fields forover a week, the budding Thunder -birds took to indoor work under thewhip of chief coach, Roy Haines,Coach Haines, who goes through theexercises with the boys, is preparin ga championship crew for battle ,
NEED TRAININGThe rigourous training is more than
necessary in order to stand the pac eof the schedule which will see theBlue and Gold playing in Vancouver,Victoria and California, as well asmaintaining a full list of Stadium en -Counters.
Opposition will be powerful in allcases. The Californians, although notplaying rugby as a major sport, kee ptheir champion grid men in conditionby playing rugger in the spring. Pos-sibilities are that big names in thegrid world will be on hand when thestudents from Berkley invade the lo-cal stadium,
LOTS OF PLAYERSRoy Haines has another problem ,
that of selecting the Thunderbirdsquad from the two exlatinc seniorteams . Both aggregations, the Vars-ity cup winners and the hard playin gUBC lads, have a large number oftop performers who really know howto handle the oval ball . Openingsfor twenty players will be availableand 'the eligible boys number ap-proximately thirty .
Big problem of the season is trans-portation, as Thunderbirds travel t oVictoria and California in successiveweeks.

letter to the editorDear Sir :
'
It appears that Mr. Peter Vajda,Varsity ski instructor, has been en-gulfed in the turmoil of preparationfor ski meets and has consequentlybeen deceived as to his duties as sk icoach . Mr, Vajda appears to haveforgotten one factor in his haste.Namely, that there are many morecompetitive skiers enrolled on ourcampus than those fortunate enoughto spend their Christmas holiday sunder his instruction .
Dissatisfaction has arisen amongstthe majority of potential skiers onour campus . Apparently Mr. Vadjais under the illusion that only thebest skiers visited Revelstoke withhim this Christmas . The trip referredto resulted after much effort by Mr .Vajda and his colleagues in arrang-ing accomodations for those enthusi-asts able to spend the holidays skiingat Revelstoke . His plans were suc-cessful, Over sixty Varsity OutdoorClub members accompanied him, andout of this large group he segregate dthose interested in competition andconcentrated upon their development .
Those skiers that could not affordto accompany Peter had to be con-tent and trudged gamely up their .respective mountains or journesedmerrily to their interior homes . Theytoo entertained hopes of qualifyingfor the Varsity ski team and prac-ticed diligently with that aim in view .
Two weeks have elapsed since Mr .Vajda's return to Varsity—ampletime to run-off team eliminations todecide who, amongst all competitiveskiers interested, would constitute th eteams entered in the inter-collegiateski meet at Banff this coming Sat-urday, A berth on one of these team sis one to be earned, not one to bemade possible by Indiscrirninarechoice,
There are many skiers on our cam -pus who did not go to Revelstoke bu tcould possibly place amongst the topten men . Probably Mr. Vajda haschosen the best men to visit Banf fbut if properly conducted eliminat-ions had been conducted, at least tha tchoice would be authentic .
If elimination trials had been use dthey would have served two purposes ,First, it would have established thebest skiers in that particular rac eand secondly, what is even more im-portant, it would have fostered acompetitive spirit amongst the less -polished skiers . It is ,to these inex-perienced types that Mr. Vajda mus trely upon for the nucleus of futureteams .
One cannot justly belittle the fin ework done by Mr. Vajda in preparingpotential skiers for races, ,However,of the forty or more men who atten-ded the dry-skiing lessons give nevery Friday night before Christmas ,it is interesting to note that only asmall percentage of them were evenconsidered as ski-team material ,These are the men who deserve afair chance .
A clique governed the activities oflast year's ski team and it now ap -pears obvious that it will again do s othis year,
BOB CROMPTON.
GYMNASTS WANTEDUBC's gym club, entering a team
in the coming Pacific Northwest gym -nestle meet to be held at . ExhibitionGardens, requests that all gymnasti centhusiasts interested in participatin gin the competition turn out to th eUBC gym on Tuesdays at 6 :45 p .m .and on Fridays at 5 :30 p .m .
The hoopla artistry playing for UBC this year is certainly turning out to be a surpris epackage, for the Thunderbirds did it again Saturday night when they out-worked and out -played a highly-touted Bremerton quintet at the UBC gym . After the smoke of battle hadfinally cleared away, a quick glance at the scoreboard gave the 'Birdmen a 51-41 victory in agame that saw Coach Osborne put every one of his eleven men on the floor as he tried ou tvarious combinations .
