It was suggested by Lucy Bertonthat admission to mixers be onewar saving stamp, This, too, wil lbe decided at the neat meetings.

Student apathy towards the neworganization was notable, and oneof its first duties seems to be t ofoster a bit more class spirit amongArts students .

Institute in July, and UBC chem-ical engineering students were able ,after eight years of endeavor, toform an affiliation with the parentsociety.

"The principal aims of the stu-dent chapter are the promotion ofchemical engineering on the cam -pus and the affiliation of chemicalengineering students with the In-stitute," stated Sandy Buckland ,president of the group . "Student -members benefit in that they aretaking the first steps towards be -coming members og the parent or-ganization," he added .

Formation of an employment bureauon the campus to provide contact betwee nstudents who have some spare time whichthey can devote to work, and employers,who are greatly in need of labor, is a highl ycommendable move, and is worthy of thesupport of the student body .

These days there is a great shortage o fman' power, and any measure which wil lhelp to relieve' industries faced with thisvery serious problem, should receive everyconsideration. Eastern Canadian studentsare moving west to help in the harvest onthe prairies and there is plenty of oppor-tunity, for western students to help out i nindustries. This is especially true of B .C . ,where there are so many vital war indus-tries suffering from lack of labor.

An employment bureau has been oneof the great needs of this campus for som etime. When nearly eighty per cent . of thestudent body rely on summer jobs andpart-time work to earn all, or part, of theirfees, some organization which will assis tthem to contact employers who need them ,will afford a great saving of time, both t othe student and to the employer .

At present there is no shortage of re -quests from employers for student work-ers, but it was not always thus, and ther e

Vancouver's fight against the chlorina-tion of its water has an interesting sideligh tin the attacks being made on the scientificopinions which have been expressed on th esubject.

Dr. C. E. Dolman, head of the UBCDepartment of Bacteriology and Preventiv eMedicine, whose report on the condition o fthe water, made as the head of the Provin-cial laboratories, resulted in the chlorina-tion order from Ottawa, has received a greatdeal of the attention paid to the men o fscience .

The Vancouver Sun, always willing tocapitalize on a situation involving publicopinion, has been the leader in the attack son Dr. Dolman. Several weeks a g o thispaper published a column which drew apicture of Dolman as a cold-blooded man o fscience, and endeavored to show that he wa sincapable of looking at the chlorination prob-lem with anything but a strictly scientifi cview. A few nights ago The Sun publishe da letter, typical of the reaction this payer hasaroused . The letter (signed UBC Arts '40)said in effect that Dr. Dolman was, becaus eof his stand, a discredit to the Universit yat which he is employed.

It is our opinion that any professor inthis university who uses his training to reacha conclusion, and then, without catering topublic sentiment, gives his findings andstands by them when called upon, is a creditto the standards of our universities .

It is the job of a university to give ou ta training which will enable men to tackleproblems both social and scientific, with a napproach which avoids bias and prejudice,which seeks for the truth in a logical manne r

Once upon a time, long, long, ago, be -fore anyone had heard of Hitler or Musso-lini or Lifebuoy, there lived a very plumpman named Emperor Concertinus the Colos-sal, who commuted between Rome and Cleo-patra before she gave him the old barbershop brush off in favour of one Marc An-thony, the answer to a maiden's phone num-ber. Now, this Concertinus was a dyspep-tic grouch, due to his habit of taking the od dsnort of olive oil without soda, and we d omean bicarbonate. He was never reallyhappy unless he was burning a Christia nhere and a Christian there, and sometime sall over.

So one day we find him sitting in th eping-pong room, morosely watching his lat-est troup of dancing girls, the Carthagiia nFollies, supposed to be the hottest outfi tnorth of the Tiber, as the historian Heroditu stells us with his teeth in his cheek . Connie ,for 'twee thus that he was called by the boysdown at the Arena. Connie turns to thegiant Nubian slave standing behind him inthe capacity of Vice-President in charge ofKill That Thing Before It Lays Its Eggs .

"Where are those Christians I ordere dfrom Sears, Roebuck; Snowball?" barks Sh eEmperor .

"They's heap , boss," the slave replies ,drawing a bead on a bluebottle .

"Then why the hellos don ' t they send

is good reason to expect that future stu-dents will be faced with a difficult tas kwhen they set out to get a job . That iswhere this employment bureau has an ex -a regular part of the university .

If this organization is handled proper-ly it can promote lasting good will betweenemployers and student labor. With this asa wedge it will be far easier to get the em-ployers to hire university students in dayswhen they are not so short of help .

It should be quite easy for the employ-ment bureau to provide, at the presen ttime, a very valuable service both to thestudents and to the community . There is,however, only one danger which it migh tbe be wise to emphasize .

As students attending a university inwar time, we must remember that our onlyexcuse for tieing here is that we are at -tempting to fit ourselves to take a place inthe community. Should high wages temptus to neglect our object then they will bedefeating the original purpose that thegovernment had in allowing us to come touniversity.

If that. danger is avoided, and it is thetask of the students who take the work t oavoid it, then the whole plan should be agreat success .

and which does not shirk from the pi senta-tion of the truth. Science courses in parti-cular are noted for the standards of accur-acy which they set .

It would be foolish to say that scienceis perfectly infallible, but in spite of intoler-ance, misunderstanding and in many cases ,ignorance, science has made great contribu-tions to the modern world . This applies tothe field of public health where the scien-tist, who has tried to introduce new method sor measures to protect health, has frequentlybeen forced to buck a wave of popular feel-ing which is based on personal interests .

It is a strange sight in a supposedl ymodern world, when people pay for the ser-vices of highly trained men, and then refus eto accept their recommendations.

Scientific approach may not be perfect .But neither is anything else . The fact re-mains that science has been time-tested an dis based on accurate observation and carefulstudy, and has proven to be the best methodof tackling any problem which may face us .Science is constantly changing and its abilityto adapt itself is a recommendation . Senti -

ment is generally, founded on a shaky base .It is slow to change and it is impractical t ouse it as a basic for judgment .

We hope that the universities will con-tinue to turn out men who are willing todevote their energies to a scientific study o fthe facts, and who will be willing to hol dby their decisions until these decisions arerefuted on logical grounds . We hope, too;that the press will give these men a fair hear-ing, and that they will not try to disputethem by appealing to popular sentimen trather than intelligence,

• TODAY I'm trespassing on myhonoured colleague's territory .

Today I'm writing about charac-ters—not the usual hum-drum ,

'social-service-project type of char .

aster that paces this page occas-ionally, but vital, indispensibl e

characters who have helped tobuild the Pub tradition and wh owill carry on that tradition tofuture generations of Pubsters.

These characters never lie . Man yof them were veterans of the Pub-lications Board long before ou rnames appeared on the masthead .

Others have appeared and beenadopted be its but recently. Howor when they came into being isa mystery which we do not active-ly attempt or solve. If we dochance to unravel the solution, i tIs with conglomerate feelings—those of exultation and pride, yetwith a some of bereavement o fthe aura of ghostlinem that sur-rounds there beings.

• SUCH WAS the cam . of

ETAOIN SHRDLU. Long has

he been the protector and monitorof the Pub—in fact, his is a namecommon to the ears and lips of aulconcerned with the newspapertrade, but to none did he hav emore meaning than to the Ubyssey .

He is our comfort and shelter inmoments of stress. Each pre.wnight as the paper goes to bed, asFred mills the final fatal proof,every pubster utters a silent pray-er to Etaain . If, on one of tiles ,rar occasious, the UBYSSEY i spresented with a scoop, a Devoutgroup gathers about THE desk inthe Totem office and offers thank sfor Etaoln's benediction. And notonly in journalis^tic matters la haour guide, bet in all the difficul-ties in our daily life .

But some time ago ,the hallowedname appeared as a printer's errorat press . Fearing some mystic

power behind this slip, we stare daghast at the words until, glowin gwith divine inspiration, one of themore worldly individuals sudden-ly beetled down to the linotyp emachine and returned with th enews that Shrdlu was but the off-spring of a linotype, spawned inthe first two rows of letters .

He did not lose any of his fas-cination for us, through the revel .ation, nor did we lose any of ourfaith in him. He is still the great-est character in Pt'b history to us .

• A CHARACTER who seems tous to be more of a mortal being

since we can actually sec the re-sults of his actions, even thoughwe have never actually seen hi mhim self, is SAA1'ti1Y, Sammy i swithout a last name, No one ha sever heard it mentioned or haseven felt that he needed one, h eis so well known in the office . Heis entirely different from Etaoin .Where the latter is the benefacto rof the Pub, Sammy is the mischief -maker .

He is the one who sneaks downto the Pub and opens doors at th emost inauspicious moments. He isthe one who pushes shut windowswhen the Brock basement is asstuffy as only it and lecture roomscan be . He is the one who hide scopy pencils; and destroys untype dnotices, incurring the unabate dfury of irate little club executive swhose whole futures are threaten-ed by such disastrous occurences .And he is the one who leaves mes-sages for gullible pubsters tophone a certain number and askfor Len Kay .

• AT LEAST, all of these plot swere attributed to Samm y

until we realized that so muchtrouble could never be the evil -doing of only one man. Then wediscovered his accomplice—flesh o fhis flesh, blood of his blood, hisown son OGLE'THORPE.

Oglethorpe is quite young, he hasnot yet acquired all the irritablehabits of his parent but. he is anapt and attentive pupil . He takescare of the minor acts of destruc-tion, such as breaking into the Pubat nights and leaving all the lightsburning with the result that weare invariably working with a tleast two inactive bulbs.

We realize it Is too late to re -form the elder of this degeneratepair, but it is heartbreaking to seesuch delinquency in one as youn gas he. Here is your subject fo rpsychologists and sociologists . Ifanyone can suggest a suitable casemethod of treating Oglethorpe hewill be eternally blessed by thePub and Etaoin and given our ful lco-operation .

attending, the co-ops were wellrepresented, with the co-op girl sleading in the fire-side songs.

Lounging on the beach, explor-ing the Autumn trails, or cook -house duties occupied the camper s

After Dr. Melvin's address onSaturday night, Ed Wyburn leda variety of dance and song.

The Sunday discussions revealedS .C .M. opinions on the vital topicof students in a total war econ-omy. Most of the students pestle .ipating felt that they were a ver yprivileged group receiving stil lmore privileges, and that the yshould show their appreciation i na concrete way.

• IN ANSWER to the inquiries o fstudents regarding the apparent

number of unused carralls, Dr .Kayo Lamb, Librarian, stated ."This occurs every yea$ ."

"The reason is that people whohave the privilege of using perma-nent stacks have not yet settleddown to study ." He thought tha tin another two weeks this condi-tion would be much changed .

Soccermen Are Defeated In Opener

Varsity Wins;UBC DefeatedIn Cup Series

By NORM KLENMAN

• SIX DAYS have elapsed since the dampish Miller Cuprugger opened, but Varsity's big win over Ex-Byng in th e

Brockton Point feature attraction last Saturday is still beingtalked about ,

BIG CHANCEIn informal discussions at the

meeting of the Vancouver Rugb yUnion Tuesday night, beliefs thatVarsity had a good chance tohold its own this year were ex -pressed.

A team of stalwart ruggers.chosen at random by CoachMaury Van Vliet, took the fiel dhopefully and thrilled the sparce-ly populated stands with as goodan opening day Miller Cup showas has been seen in many years.

BYNG BOUNCED ,Champion Ex - Byngs never

knew what hit them when Vars-ity started its fast-breaking, hard-tackling tactics . Veteran Al. Ns.rod shot the Varsity men into thelead with an early try when heburet over the ex-Byng line froma loose-scrum .

The champs evened the countearly in the second half on a tryby Alex Carlisle, but the tie van-ished when Al. Jones, a UBC fresh-man, dribbled past two defend-ers and crossed the final fiveyards free.

Varsity B did not fare so wellin its contest with Rowing Club ,but the rowers had a hard figh tto end in the lead .

REID SHINESDougie Reid, star receiving half

in the Inter-High Rugby Asaocla-tion last year, kicked a'beautifulpenalty to put the B boys ahead.

But the Oarsmen plugged awayuntil the breaks casts, bowTuronne Intercepted a pass andwhisked it to Don Rush, wh ocrossed the line . Norm Constan-tine converted brilliantly andsent his buddies into the lead.

Tomorrow's schedule, compiledat the Union Meeting, ' ,places Varsity in line for two en-gagements once again, but no de-finite word that they will fulfil:bear has been hard .

PLANS MADEFor the purposes of clarity, the

name "Varsity" has been given tothe A team and "UBC" to the Bboys. The former will meetRowing Club in Brockton Ovalat 3:15, and the latter are billedfor a match with Ex-Byng in thelower pitch at 2:30.

Navy and Ex-Britannia, lncl-dently, are due to clash in theopener at 2:15, which makes atotal of xi xteams at this junctur eof events . The Union executivesare dickering for an Army andan Airforce entry, but no officialword has yet been released.

Eaton 's EtchingsBy ART EATON

• THE INTEREST shown in American football durin gthe past week has led to some inquiries, and a grea t

deal of historical research by your humble writer. Thugsubject has proven to be almost as interesting as the topi cunder discussion last week . I decided to adopt the samemeans of investigation because it was the simplest, and theeasiest, and the most logical .

EVOLUTION OF MANThe history of the dame goes far, far back beyond

the annals of recorded time, to probably the day when thefirst amoeba became disgusted with his one-celled exist-ence, and decided to make a change . It is said that thiscreature murmured something about a sneak end run ashe slithered out of the Atlantic, what there was of it, an dcarried the mythical ball to the shores of Tripoli .

But for the ensuing several million years, the scrim-

mage seems to have messed things up sfl badly, that it i simpossible to glean any sequence out of the whole thing .And so we are certain of nothing until the time of th eGreeks. It was in 732 B.C., that the Spartans, an ingenious ,if unphilosophic group of fellows, devised the now famoussleeper play. The Athenians, hereditary enemies of th eSpartans, took offense at the new move, called foul play ,and demanded another game. They called it the Pelopone-sian War .

ROMAN TWISTAh, but the Romans, bless them, were the ones . They

gave the sport such a boost in their time, that the gam ehas lasted right down to the present . The old arena at theCapital City was filled every day with crowds of enthusias-tic football fans who cheered the players on every clevermove. Augustus himself, it is said, carried the ball for th ePink League in 347 .

The much touted forward pass, used by many of th emost discriminating teams today, is actually the result ofthe brain wave of one swain called Boris, who got the ideafrom watching a lord of a manor throw beer bottles out o fa window, or casement, (it doesn't matter) . In the auspic-ious year of the battle of Blenheim, Boris put his theorie sto a practical use by teaching the English gentry and othe rswains to use a bow to take a hundred yard run away

OF PIGMIES AND PROHIBITIO NThere were no new developments until the time o f

the era of prohibition, when the whole world was amaze dby the exploits of the Zanzibar entry in the pygmy festiva lheld in Africa, around the region of the Great Jungle . Be-cause of prohibition, the spectators were so sober that theywere able to see one of the most clever plays ever executed.The Zanzibarians won handily by a length by using a thre eman line against their opponents ' two man line. It was avictory for the mathematicians .

SCIENTIFIC CONCLUSIONSNow, this investigation has been interesting, to both

the follower of sports and to the man who just lives. Butit is necessary to derive some sort of conclusions from an yinvestigation. These have been reached, and are nowlisted .

1. The game is a rough one, though it has becomemore gentle as the years have gone by . The Greeks andthe Romans, brave souls, used to play for keeps .

2. The game is a good one to watch, for it has a fin ehistorical background, filled with traditions, and blood .

3. Farina will coach Varsity 's entry.

4. This has all been a waste of time, and more of i tcan be prevented by more sporting news, and more activereporters to get it .

• VARSITY'S hope in the V. andD. soccer league received a

sharp set-back Saturday at Powel lStreet grounds when our round -ball artists were defeated by th ehighly skilled West Coast Ship -builders team .

Playing with about half a dozenformer Coast League players, theWest Coast team was able to mak eonly one tally in the first half.

But came the second half andthen the slaughter began . Playingwith the wind and rain against

week. Johnson said that he had received word that th eleague schedule would begin on October 20. He was nottold at the time whether his squad would play the first gam eor not . Art, however, seems confident that his boys woul dplay sometime during the week .STANDARDS HIG H

This year's squad will have to b epretty good to hold up the standar dof play set by last year's . Thatteam reached the finals of the In-termediate A League playoffs lastyear, and were barely nosed by theSperling crew, who went on towin the Provincial championship . I
