Th e p UFPGMU of the book which is i genu- ine and very necessary aid to mom - bore of Freshmen and upper years, a s well as 10 executive and club mom - bore, is to condense in handy form al l information, as Its preface states, "o f reasonable interest to students ." Al l recognized societies with a short syn- opsli of their work, all athletic pur- nuit, all major social events, ar e listed in this useful little book .

For half an hour after th e doors of the auditorium were opened the students kept pouring in . And for coins time after the faculty had taken their placem the students continued t o enter . The auditorium was crowded to capacity and an overflow crowd tille d the hell. Despite the rain, and the fact that it was their first experience of vat . vernity life foP the freshmen, everyone was happy . It was go9d to see th e faculty p rocession again . a dignified procession heeded by Chancellor Mo . Kechnie and President Klinck . When the members of the procession ha d taken their seats every student expectantly awaited the President's addres s of welcome . . The President began by wholeheartedly welcoming all the students . In particular he enteuded his best wishes to the freshmen and expressed th e hope that they would soon become accustomed to university life . Havin g welcomed the students he then greeted the faculty . Referring to the facult y be meld in part, 'These we welcome to an the duties and reeponulblliuea, a s . well as to ill the rights and prkl . -i.'- . leg . . appertaining to their high fessors are genuinely ansJou .i. omce, om New Zealand, Qrut tablish perfectly natural human $la .

How . they ih*ll yoursolves, " Chancellor R . E . McKoohnie als o welcomed the students . In introduc- ing him President Klinck paid a warm tribute to the way in whic h Chancellor MeKechnie has g iven of his time and his effort in behalf o f education . Although he admitted that it wa s his ambition to be connected wit h university work, Dr . MeKechnie sai d that for him there was nothing bu t satisfaction in It . In a humorou s vein he recalled his own experience s as freshman at McGill forty year s ago . "In those days," remarked th e c h an ce I loi', "ever y every freshman wa s marked for Hlau g htr by two or thre e upper claesmen ; hut to-clay I hear o f a Big Sister movement which you ar e organizing to protect freshmen . " The Chancellor pointed to the in - creased attendance as a sign of th e times, namely, that there is a grow- ing spirit in favor of higher education . "We want an educated people," h e emphasized, "to appreciate and (love - lo p the resources of our country. " Continuing, Dr . McKechnie referre d with pride to the enviable record o f graduates from this University and t o the outstanding scholarship of th e faculty. Speaking especially to th e freshmen he earnestly charged them to grasp the importance of their uni- versity courses . "Decide early," h e said, "what you are going to be, wha t you are going to do. To-day you can - not hope to know everything, or t o do e verythin g . Hero there are influ- ences bearing on you moulding you r character, And I would say to you , Think well what you with to becom e then each day gain some useful know - ledge along that line . " [)r . Kiluck then called upon th e Dean of each faculty to address th e students Dean Brock of the facult y of Applied Science in a few remark s welcomed the freshman . He said tha t ()flO thin g only would make them suc - ('esNfIl in University or in life, tha t that thin g Is work, syHtematic work , l)eni Clement of the faculty of Agri - vulture, speaking next, warned th e frt'shn,en to "tic slowly ." Dean Ilol . lorE, Dean of Women, 501(1 all the s1tHients should remember what a great opportunity is theirs . Dea n Coleman of the faculty of Arts an d Science, speaking along much th e same line, referred to education as a birthright . He stated that any uni- ve r sity is built upon a foundation lai d permanently and well by those wh o lived centuries ago, whose names un- sung have perished from the earth . The ceremony, long to be remem- bered by ninny a student, closed wit h the singing of God Save the King . Out-of-Town Girls' Te a In accordance with established cue - torn, President and Mrs . Klinck wil l entertain the out-of-town wome n students of the first and second year s at their home, 2026, 13th Ave . West , on Saturday afternoon, October 2nd , at o'clock .

COMMENCEMEN TSeptember 28th, 192 1

Youth dwells in all our thoughts,yet in our voices

Are echoes of the tones ourfathers hear d

In other days and lands : theheart rejoices ,

But by an unseen hand th estrings are swept ,

And by an unseen power th edepths are stirred .

The magic words of those wholong have slept

Wrapped in the kindly earth theyglorifie d

Speak to us from the twilight ofthe yem's ;

And in the strength, once theirs ,we lay asid e

The lethargy in which our soul sare bound ,

Our idle boasting and our foolis hfears ,

And And this common soil Isholy ground .

H. T. J . COLEMAN.

The twelfth session of the University of British Columbia was ooIsllyopined on Tuesday morning, September With . For half an hour after thedoors of the auditorium were opened the students kept pouring in. And forcoins time after the faculty had taken their placem the students continued t oenter. The auditorium was crowded to capacity and an overflow crowd tille dthe hell.

Despite the rain, and the fact that it was their first experience of vat.vernity life foP the freshmen, everyone was happy . It was go9d to see thefaculty procession again . a dignified procession heeded by Chancellor Mo .Kechnie and President Klinck . When the members of the procession hadtaken their seats every student expectantly awaited the President's addressof welcome .

.The President began by wholeheartedly welcoming all the students . In

particular he enteuded his best wishes to the freshmen and expressed th ehope that they would soon become accustomed to university life . Havingwelcomed the students he then greeted the faculty . Referring to the facultybe meld in part, 'These we welcome to an the duties and reeponulblliuea, a s

Chancellor R. E. McKoohnie als owelcomed the students . In introduc-ing him President Klinck paid awarm tribute to the way in whic hChancellor MeKechnie has given ofhis time and his effort in behalf o feducation .

Although he admitted that it washis ambition to be connected wit huniversity work, Dr. MeKechnie sai dthat for him there was nothing bu tsatisfaction in It. In a humorou svein he recalled his own experience sas freshman at McGill forty yearsago. "In those days," remarked th ec h an ce I loi', "ever y every freshman wasmarked for Hlaughtr by two or threeupper claesmen ; hut to-clay I hear o fa Big Sister movement which you are

organizing to protect freshmen . "The Chancellor pointed to the in -

creased attendance as a sign of th etimes, namely, that there is a grow-ing spirit in favor of higher education ."We want an educated people," heemphasized, "to appreciate and (love -lo p the resources of our country. "Continuing, Dr. McKechnie referre dwith pride to the enviable record o fgraduates from this University and t othe outstanding scholarship of th efaculty. Speaking especially to thefreshmen he earnestly charged themto grasp the importance of their uni-versity courses. "Decide early," h esaid, "what you are going to be, wha tyou are going to do. To-day you can-not hope to know everything, or t odo everything. Hero there are influ-ences bearing on you moulding you rcharacter, And I would say to you ,Think well what you with to becom ethen each day gain some useful know-ledge along that line . "

[)r . Kiluck then called upon th eDean of each faculty to address th estudents Dean Brock of the facult yof Applied Science in a few remark swelcomed the freshman . He said that()flO thin g only would make them suc-('esNfIl in University or in life, tha tthat thin g Is work, syHtematic work ,l)eni Clement of the faculty of Agri-vulture, speaking next, warned th efrt'shn,en to "tic slowly ." Dean Ilol .lorE, Dean of Women, 501(1 all thes1tHients should remember what agreat opportunity is theirs . DeanColeman of the faculty of Arts andScience, speaking along much thesame line, referred to education as abirthright . He stated that any uni-ve rsity is built upon a foundation lai dpermanently and well by those wh olived centuries ago, whose names un-sung have perished from the earth .

The ceremony, long to be remem-bered by ninny a student, closed wit hthe singing of God Save the King .

KLA•HOW-YA HThus to welcome our friends old and new, we lift our feet fro m

e editorial desk where summer idleness has permitted them topole and with gentle atrokings of our pen we rouse the UbysseyWits halcyon season to make for its wonted flight across th e

current of our winter activities . While yet its wings are stretchingarid ruffling preparatory to soaring, a pleasant drowsiness, aftermathof deep, unbroken rest, insures good humour to its voice ; and whil ethe sleepy palm of Morpheus still lulls in rest that critical facult yW itch may later utter querulous complaint, we undertake our Initia ldilly, than which none could be more to our taste . We greet hero -

,With, another college 0eneration ; we welcome the latest and lustiestWant, the class of '30 .

At the .present moment we shall refrain from the recital of dul lprecepts or the utterance of lengthy admonition, and this for tw oreaeons, of which the latter is derived from the former . Imprimis ,we had had but short acquaintance with the incoming class and s oWould not presume, as do doctors, to diagnose upon a moment' snotice ; seeoadly, as was suggested in the preceding paragraph, w eare yet drowsing and averse to undertaking a serious probe of th ehealth of the new member of our academic family, or forecastin gthe progress of its malady .

Let it suffice that we repeat our greeting to Arts '30, elaboratin g'upon it to the extent of wishing them during their stay with us th every best that the years can offer, assuring them, out of our exper-ience, that much is to be given and much to be gained. It is, further ,gtti belief that Arts '30 will give much and, in so doing carry on th etradition established by former classes of which three, still within

"these ', -

walls, utter the sentiments just now echoed by the Ubyssey .

THE EXODUSAlthough students are today greeting old friends, and exchang-

i g , pleasant accounts of summer holidays or summer work, they mus tnotice with regret the absence of many familiar friends . Some ofthe are remaining out for a year, some have left university, some ar eattending other universities . This year the number of those wh ohave left the U. B. C. for other universities is far in excess of thenumber in former years .

Just why students are leaving this university for other college sis not entirely apparent . Of course, we realize that certain courses ,such as . the medical course, are not given here . We realize, too ,that old universities attract young students . But these facts d onot explain why Arts students are leaving this university for McGil lor Toronto. Perhaps, because of high fees, they have decided toattend universities of greater repute . Perhaps too, it is a sign of th etimes, this thing of students travelling to gain experience, to broadentheir viewpoint and outlook on life . We very much motet, however ,

that they have not remained with us until graduation day, . Fo rthey could be of more service here, in our young university, tha nthey can there in old universities ,

AN APOLOGY AND A REQUES TIt is but to be expected that, during the rush and confusion o f

commencement, the work of the Ubyssey staff will be somewha thampered and that the first two issues at least, will bear marks o fthe pressure under which they have been turned out . We thereforeask the indulgence and co-operation of the student body until aroutine shall have been established to ensure a proper representationin these columns of all student activities . To this end, we ask al lsecretaries of clubs and athletic organizations to assist the staff a smuch as possible in securing copy relative to meetings and futur e.activities, by turning in announcements to the Publications Office .

The "Ubyssey" takes pleasureIn announcing that Mr, Geral dStevens of Arts '23, was at thefiat meeting of the Students 'Council, appointed Business Manitiger of the "Ubyssey" to All apost left vacant by the resigna-tion of Mr. Dlgby Leigh, Arts It

The Literary Editor wishes to an-nounce that he has definitely retiredfrom competition with the featur eeditor, who operates the "LitanyCoroner, "

It has been considered advisable t oalter the whole policy of the Literar yCorner. Instead of printing eachweek a solitary student effort it hasbeen decided to devote a page ever yfortnight to topics of literary Interes tsubmitted by members of the Facult yand of the Student body. It wil leasily be understood that the successof this will depend mostly upon theeu'.tability and quantity of contribu-tions . Anythin g of literary value•- •either poetry or promo—will be wet .come .

During previous years this partiatetar branch of the "Ubyssey"—owin gprimarily to the fact that the materia lsubmitted has been comparativelyscarce—has been maintained onl ywith difficulty, Consequently It lehoped that the Faculty and student swill give their best support . All con •tributlons should be addressed to theLiterary Corner and left at the "U.byasey" office in the auditorium build-ing.

Why make the Fresh wear a greenribbon? Any other color would b ebetter—More of a contrast .

One thing about Registering ; theydo not swear you In . You do theswearing afterwards .

After noticing the bonedust on thecampus a Freshman asked it thatwas the famous "Valhalla" cemeter ysite . A brutal senior remarked thata science man had probably scratche dhis head .

Speaking of music ; the composerof "Bye, Bye, Blackbird" has some-thing to crow about.

.Everybody can now appreciate th e

expression : "Calendar daze . ".

A treat is afforded all Freshme nwho wander into the Library base-ment. They can spend hours en-joying themselves at the electrichand•dryer . The man who inventeda way to make the Fresh enjo ywashing their hands was a genius ,

"Why is a Feature editor like aclever burglar?" "I'11 bite, why?""Because he is a wise arackeman . "

LAWYER SIf a man were to give another an

orange, he would simply say : "Hav ean orange." But when the transac-tion is entrusted to a lawyer to be pu tIn writing he adopts this form : "ihereby give and convey to you, al land singular, my estate and interests ,right, title, claim and advantage o fand in said orange, together with it srind, skin, juice, pulps and pips, an dall rights and advantages therein ,with lull power to bite, cut, suck, an dotherwise eat the same or give th e:lame away with or without the rind ,skin, juice, pulp or pips, anythin ghereinbefore or hereinafter or In anyother means of whatever nature o rkind whatsoever to the contrary inany wise notwithstanding . "

And then another lawyer come salong and takes it away from you .

Initiation !

INITIATION!!! What visions ofdoom do these dread syllables conjur eup In the minds of the poor, miserableFresh! In•It•I•a•tlonI All around thesehalls the youths and maidens of ten.der years stand in trembling groupsand discuss their uncertain future ."In•it•i.a•tton," whisper the Sophs . asthey gloat over their prey, Over al lhangs the dire Incubus of Initlation .

Ask any old•timer about Initiation .He will tell you a tale that will makeyour hair stand on end and freeze th emarrow of your bones . He will re•late to you at length the sufferingoof victims In the "Good Old Days,"when men were men and initiationwas INITIATION, He will regale youwith bones and rattling skeletons—masked figures — groans — sighs —screams of agony—victims being ledone by one into the Torture Chamberto be pounced upon by their heart-less tormentors !

Further Investigation will revealmore concrete facts concerning pre•views initiations, Details will com eto light of how the hapless Fres hwere seized and their forme desec-rated by a too.liberal regalia of paint,tar and other unmentionable mix-tures ;--of how they were forced toparticipate in a promiscuous beaut yparade down Hastings and Granvillestreets, incidentally stopping to polis hthe car-tracks and play Eull•in•th ering with traffic policeman ;—ot howa large proportion of the city's popu-lation, particularly the youngerbrothers of the victims, enjoyed thedisplay as much as Selle•F1oto circus ;—of how the parade finished at theC .N.R. depot where a huge bonfirewas erected and yells and songs tor-tured the night air . Thus were theFresh welcomed to the bosom of theirAlma Meter in the "Good Old Days" !

Having worked the miserable mi-nions of '30 to a state of panto b ythe above paragraphs, it is well t oenlighten him still further . Radica lchanges have bean made In the Ini-tiation program in recent years .Arta '28 had an entirely differentInitiation. Arts '29 underwent a some.what harder ceremony than their Im-mediate predecessors, but were tor-cod to earn recognition by the swea tof their brows Already many stn .dents think that these two classeshave been let off too lightly, and ad-vocate a return to the traditiona lform of initiation. Others noticethat the campus hardly conveys theperfume of violets to the olfactor ysenses, and think that a few hours ofspade-work should again fall to th elot of the verdant ones .

initiation this year will probabl ybe of the now safe and sane typo ,The danger Is that the ceremony wil lbecome a farce, and make tho uppe ryears ridiculous, The problem fo rthe initiation committee is to develo pa form of initiation that will pleaseeverybody .

Meanwhile the Freshmen may res tassured that they WILL probably hav ean Initiation of some sort this year,and that it will not be an easy one.No one can say what form the cere-mony will take ; whether it will be areversion to the traditional style, oran improved new kind . They can on-ly hope for the beet . , . .

But who can tell???

`The Old OrderChangeth '

Tennyaon'e old gag : "The old orde rchangeth, yielding place to new,"applloe with considerable force evento this weird page, Of the threefeature editors of last term, namel yMr. McG000kle, Mr, Gaston and Mr .Sauterne, two have departed fromthis college life, and the other ha sclimbed to dizzy heights on the)our'nallntic tree. The Feature Pag eI . now obliged to hang out the sign :"Under new management . "

In previous years, the life of afeature editor was anything but arest—home . There wee a staff o fabout ftve, --consisting of the Feature .Editor-In-Chief, a couple of featureeditors, and one or two reliable con•trlbutora,—to concoct thirty .thre ehundred words of sparkling wit twic ea week. It followed that there weretimes when other activities, evenacademic work, interrupted the strea mof thought of some members, and al lthe available feature writers werecalled upon at the eleventh hour towrite thousands of words to all upapace I

In launching this year's "FunnyPage," the present feature editor hasa deep compassion for all the featurestaff (including himself), This yearhe wants 1,458 helpers—the totalenrolment of the U . B. O. everystudent, man, woman or child is here -by Invited to send a written contd .bution to this page, and receive thesame lack of consideration as is at .forded to the regular staff. In ad.dition, on the approval of the Editor-in-Chief, he intends to appoint one o rtwo regular contributors who hav eshown a high standard of ability, tothe dazzling position of feature re -porters (probationary or permanent )and opportunities for further promo .tion ,

Those students who happened toread this page last year (may thei rtribe increase!) can remember suc hfeatures as the "Litany Coroner," " ISeen To-Day," joke column, serials ,articles of a light nature, burlesques ,columns such as "Hints for Li tBugs," "Ave Atque Vale, " "Salmonand Sauterne" and variously designs .ted pieces by A. X. McO .

It would help the new staff con•siderably (and the postal authoritie simmensely) it every student wouldwrite a short letter to the FeatureEditor giving his or her opinion ofthe late federal election and previou sfeatures of this page. Such letterswill positively not be road or evenanswered ,

break-

Drop 3000 feet!

yES, the Parker Daofoid Pen wa stossed from an aeroplane at dizz y

altitude to test its new Non-Break-able barrel and cap made of Parma -nits and landed 3000 feet below—unharmed.

We kept secret nearly a year the factthat all Parker Pans and Pencils havePermanite barrels and cape until bya series of heroic trials we proved be-yond a doubt that they do not break.

Now Parker Duofold,already morepopular with students than an yother pen, will be seen in School an dCollege classrooms more than ever.

Shapely, balanced, lacquer-re dbarrel with smart black tips made o fNon-Breakable Permanite, and aPoint guaranteed 25 years for wea rand mechaniad perfection. That's acombination that can't be equalled a tany price.

Choose your point and color at an ygood pen counter . But look with carefor the name of the originator, "Geo.S. Parker," on the barrel . Carry thefinest and you'll never need apologize .
