A wise investmentToday the administration will introduce the first of its

three guest speakers on the United Nations .

The speaker is Lester B. Pearson, who comes to us, not

as the leader of Canada's Liberal Party, but as a true interna-

tionalist, a man _dedicated to the success of the United Nations ,

a elan who, more than any other Canadian, knows and rec-

cgriizes its worth.. . - TTte UTr ited Natisiias .is ; to date, the only effective machine

e of providing a means to safeguard the peace of thewould -arid -ensure the perpetuation of the human race .

A wise business man would attend the meeting of any

egmpany of which he was an extensive shareholder, so should

we, as individuals with our interests heavily invested in the

prospects of a future attend a meeting whereat we might find

out 'a means to ensure our investment .

-EL.

Pen pals ? ?Both The Ubyssey and the Associated Women Students

have found themselves singled out as the latest targets in an

age-old game of darts.There are many fanatics, who while regarding themselves

a$ righteous, violate their own profesed principles by writing

filthy letters condemning those who have, however innocently ,

pricked their sense of decency. These hypocrites we propose

to disregard .

The letters- printed on this page are worthy of your con-

s}tleration. And they are worthy of an answer .

. Tp deal first with the subject closest to our hearts, w e

will explain the rationale behind our "double standard . " For

we -do indeed have a "double standard."The editorial page is the place where we express our own

opinions and propose our own beliefs as to propriety, morals ,

and other such ,personal subjects .On the news pages, on the other hand, we do not expres s

opinions, moral or otherwise . The news pages are strictly

neutral .It was our opinion at the time, and it is still our opinio n

that the AWS debate was the top story of the day. The debate

was attended by more than 1000 students, and it was a dis-

cussion of a topic of interest to all, of us—namely, the relations

between the sexes .Our editorial, `Sick, sick, sex," was an objection to what

we felt was the motivation of those attending . At no time

did we feel that the topic was a wrong one, morally or other -

wise .We do think, however, that if 1000 students can sti r

themselves to attend such a debate, many more than 150

should-have been able to bestir themselves to attend the re -

cent general meeting of the Arts and Science Undergraduate

Society .As for all the objections flying around downtown regard-

ing the debate, we dismiss them with a sneer . Those who op -

pose discussion of such topics are those who feel, that we ,

as young adults, should accept their moral judgements with -

out questioning them .Speaking for ourselves, we are unwilling to accept an y

moral pronouncements, even the Christian ethic, without

thoroughly considering it .We think that the debate, tongue-in-cheek though it may

have been, started a lot of people thinking .

We think it was a good topic. We hail the AWS— even ifwe must do so through a storm of brickbats .

(We would hasten to add, however, that we are thorough-

ly in favor of chastity. We do not agree that chastity is out- -

needed.)

'Hypocrites'Editor,The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir :

Are the editors of The Ubys-sey hypocrites I am reluctan tto be so harsh. Perhaps theyare merely unwitting victimsof "double standard" morality ,believing with' the head in Godand purity but following th epromptings of those regions o fthe body referred to in Fri -day's editorial "Sick, Sick ,Sex" as being located "belowthe belt . "

That editorial shows thatthe Ubyssey believes in res-ponsibe reporting that it wantsto give due space to importantand significant news and com-ment . But Friday's paper is evi-dence that the prime aim ofour "vile rage" is to titillat ethe fancy of libidinous ado-lescents.

I find this rather 'insulting .Yours sincerely,

—Brian Dawso nArts IV

Irresponsible Act'Editor,The Ubyssey .Dear Sir:

The women of this campushave made an outrageous mis-take in allowing such an ob-viously attention-getting topi cfor a debate to take place onthis campus. (RE: resolved thatchastity is outmoded . )

They made their second mis-take when they invited suchan indiscreet individual as Mr .Matthews to participate . Hisargument was crude and out o fplace in debate .

The third mistake was madeby the editor of The Ubysseyin allowing the most vulgarideas to be printed . -

-Every student who still has

any values must disassociatehimself with this irresponsibleact . As far as I am concernedthe sin has been crossed . Inthis case it should not be theadministration who demandthe resignation of the editor .It should be the students.

I propose that the editor o fThe Ubyssey be asked to re-sign by the student govern-ment . If this advice is not fol-lowed the students should tak ematters into their own hands .

I wish to express my stron gcondemnation not only of thedebate sponsored by AW SThursay last but also your ac-tion in reporting in a mos tdistasteful manner this dis-graceful episode in your news-paper .

The opinions . expressed b yfour morally twisted individu-als at this public debate hav edone the university irreparableharm .

Surely if the strength andvitality of our cherished insti-tutions and social structure ar eto be maintained a certain lev-el of decency and a sense ofpropriety must be adhered to .I sincerely hope that I am not

the student body .The AWS and those wh'o

participate in this disgracefu lepisode should be summaritycensured by both the AM'S andthe Board of Governors .

It is high time some voice swere raised in stout defenc eof our deeply cherished Chris-tian tradition .

'Not Shocked'Editor ,The Ubyssey,

-Dear Sir :

Many people were shocke dwhile- reading the report -oflas Thursday's debate as nodoubt they were while listen-ing to it . To be able to shocksomeone is very exciting forcertain people, and is the ba-sis of much campaign pshycho-logy. Personally, I wasn'tshocked, excited or amused bywhat I read '— here is why!

Without the fear of war,famine or some other personaldisaster whereby society ca nrelieve its motional energy,we seek other avenues of re-lease . This to some people (fo rexample Miss Brown and MikeMatthews) means standing upin public and attempting toexcite the audlience with al-most anything that happens tofall into their head. Sex, crime ,revolt and atheism are a fewif today's popular topics for thi spurpose. I would suggest thatif these people are so emotion-ally - distressed, they woul dgain far more relief by actu-ally committing - the acts . .

First, I think these type ofshock enthusiasts suffer fro ma lack' of understanding of theirown emotions and how to usetheir energy for useful purpos-es .

Secondly, they have no un-derstanding of other people' sreactions toward their malad-justment .

If you have agred with meeven partially so far, pleasegive some thought to a sugges-tion. Debates and reports ofthe type referred to are entirelyout of place and the peopleresponsible for them are anta-gonistic to a thoughtful, emo-tionally balanced approach tolife and its outcome .

'Cheap Thrill 'Editor ,The Ubyssey .Dear Sir :

Having just heard the an-guished words of two morall ylost females this afternoon i nBrock Lounge I am compelle dto write a few words, and Imean few (their views aren' treally worth mentioning) . Itseems to me that all these girls(supposedly grown-up youn gwomen) want is to degrade sex ,or more specifically copula-tion, until all that remains i sa cheap thrill . Isn't sex playedup enough without their tw obits' worth?

ANNOYED .See editorial left for an ex-

planation of The ' Ubysey's posi-tion. A letter from Miss FranCrarkow, President of AWS ,explains the position of thatgroup. See below .

—Ed.

in any debate, the participantsare assigned sides ; they do not -necessarily volunteer to de -fend or attack the issue on thefloor . The two co-eds who par-

ticipated were asked to takethe affirmative side; the twomale participants, the negative .Their sole duty was to preparewhat they considered a goodargument supporting their sideof the resolution. Knowingboth of the affirmative debat-ers personally, I Pan vouch fortheir integrity.

If you wish to challenge theissue, you must attack eitherthe topic or t h e sponsoringorganization. With regard tothe former, it is my opinionthat if we can't freely discussitems such as this at a uni-versity, where in the worldcan such discussion take place?Possibly the topic infringedupon personal ethics and opin-ions (on the part of those whowitnessed the debate) but cer-tainly not to the extent thatit should be ignored. We arepart of a modern society andshould be aware of what isgoing on around us, whetherit be chastity, drinking, or em-bezzling .

Concerning the sponsoringorganization, the AWS councildid not foresee the controver-sy, any more than the LegionCup debate would have ex-pected repercussion- from theSPCA on the recent topic "re -solved that bullfighting shouldreplace football on the cam-pus ." We merely put forth atopic we felt would be of in-terest to UBC women (whichwas the underlying purpose ofthe entire week) and to pro-vide an enertainiii panel forall those in attendance .

I sincerely feel that thewhole matter should be viewe din its proper context—that ofan academic debate .

Honesty—Here?

Being a rather forgetful per-son, I have thrice lost mypurse on this campus . It hasbeen returned intact threetimes, — a fact that has mad eme very grateful . . . .

DR. CHARLES DRAKE

Thursday, February 2, 196 1

By MALCOLM SCOTT

Chaos unlimited is the only apt description that can be

applied to Monday 's Council Meeting. The chair allowed th e

meeting to degenerate into a series of circular arguments over

points on which there was really common understanding.

Everyone seemed to be caught up in the mad whirl . A de-

cision was made but the proper procedure was forgotten thu s

invalidating it .

When two constitutions submitted for approval were foun d

to be in poor form, the chair pushed them through withou t

adequate consideration. Co-ordinator Russ Brink was forced t o

vote against the adoption of the Arts Undergrad Society's con-

stitution because he felt that the Council, in their haste, were

making changes rather than corrections. Perhaps this unrul y

session was a needed relief from the tensions of the last fe w

weeks but there are other more fitting ways to relieve tensions ;

e .g .—a good debate—on chastity perhaps !

The Women 's Athletic Association is after a larger fixed

grant from the AMS fees . They are asking for a further 25 c

to make their total grant up to 90c per student . Due to the far

reaching implications of this request, the matter has been de-

layed so that the Finance Committee can consider its possible

repercussions .

The WAA advanced a budget to justify their request .During the Council 's rather superficial examination of

the document one Councillor asked if it was free from arti-

ficial inflations. At this Dave Edgar told him that he was

"accusing the girls .of padding. " This prompted Russ Robinson,

who usually makes these faux pas, to say "Priceless, I'm glad

to see somebody else get into the act . "The WAA request has undoubted merit as the girls ar e

sadly lacking in equipment, sports equipment that is . However ,the final say rests with the student body as this request m-is tbe passed at the spring general meeting or by referendum . Asone councillor remarked : "if they don 't accept it at the generalmeeting, it's likely the students feel they don't des,:rve themoney . "

President Edgar felt -called upon to assure one councillo rwho didn't know whether she wanted a motion or not. Hegrinned lavasciously and said "yes, yes, you can have a motionif you really want one." She didn' t

On being informed that the Architecture representativ enever appears at USC meetings, Councillor Robertson re-marked "a flaw in our system ." He -was referring to the 'actthat next year an architecture representative will be required .to sit on Council.

It was mentioned that Associated Women 's Students Presi-dent Fran Charkow had received insulting leters and phonecalls as a result of the Chastity debate. Fran was asked if sheneeded help . She replied, "If I 'm in trouble, I'll yell . . . I meanin trouble on the phone . "

In reply to Dave Edgar's "let's get into Women's athleticsminutes", one councillor replied : "I'd like to get into' women'sathletics right now." Wonder if they can find a spot for him?

UCC favorscampus wideelections

Due to the AMS Constitutiona lamendments, University ClubsCommittee has been compelledto change its by-laws concern-ing the election of its president .

"NICE SMALL SCHOOL"DOESN'T WANT FRAT S

Talk of bringing fraternities and sororities to McMas-ter is rearing its ugly head once more . For decades, thistopic has been brought up and knocked down on this ,campus. We hope that sanity and rational thinking wil lagain prevail .this year and the subject will be rejected.

A major reason students come to this university is thatthey hear it is "a nice, small school where you get to knoweveryone ." Let's keep this opinion of McMaster alive byrefusing to accept fraternities .

Paper's probe revealslarge bookstore profit

THE GAZETTEUniversity of Western Ontario

This week saw the first re-sult of bookstore profits beingput to use for the students . Thedistinguished speaker himself ,without any disrespect intend-ed, was second in importance .

Today is one year and eightdays after the Gazette firs tprinted the highly controver-sial "Bookstore Report ." -

What exactly has been ac-complished ?

The Gazette became curiousin the first place last fall be-cause of complaints receivedfrom Law students . They saidunfair prices were b e i n gcharged by the bookstore andthey were not being give navailable discounts .

The Gazette went to theComptroller, R . B. Willis, andquestioned him concerning thefinancial setup of the Book -store. The popular conceptionthat the .bookstore was non-profit was d i s p e l Le d whe nmany thousands in profits wer efound to have accumulated .

*It was found that a 20 per

cent mark-up was charged onthe publishers' list price to pa yfor operating expenses of thestore . After expenses in 1958 -59, around $12,000 remained inprofit .

Before The Gazette becam einterested such profits wereplaced in an accumulating sur-plus. At present $74,000 is i nthis surplus . The surplus isused, along with a loan fro mthe university, to buy books atthe first-of the year .

It should be pointed out the$12,000 represents only a sixper cent profit . Six cents on thedollar is not enough of a sav-ing to pass back to the individ-ual student . H o w e v e r, alto-gether the money can be usedfor worthwhile projects .

*This was recognized and a

student - faculty - administra-tion sub-committee of t h eBoard of Governors- met to tryand find a use for the money .It was a bit of a surprise tomost students that we hadmembers on this committee .

It was more of a surpris ewhen the committee backe dwholeheartedly the p 1 a n of .Dean Saul, last year's US Cpresident, and Don Milne, las tyear's UC Prefect . The planwas for a lecture series . It wa simmediately put into effect .

Over the summer and earlythis fall Tom Hockin, the newUSC president ; Jack MacDon-ald, president of the Hippo-cratic council, and Dave Mc-Kinley, Prefect of UC, cameup with a plan to spend the re-maining annual profits .

All agree with the adminis-tration to leave the aecunmlatt

ed profits untouched if pos-sible . Therefore an expensiveloan will not have to be madeeach year to finance inventory .

The plan they came up withwas to use the money to main-tain a hockey rink . The main-tenance costs had been hold-ing up any plan's for construc-tion the Board of Governorsmight have had.

The plan was unanimouslyagreed to by the sub-committee .The Board of Governors me tlast Friday. As yet there is noannouncement -even to th estudent members of the sub-committee of what their de-cision was on whether or notto use some of the profits fo xa rink maintenance costs .

*

:iFThe Gazette still isn't satin

fied that students are gettin gthe best deal they could on th ebookstore financial manoeuver .ings .

-Why did the profits go dowr.

$3,000 after students becam einterested in them? Sales havegone up from $197,000 to $223, -000 from 1958-59 to 1959-60 .

Why haven't the finances ofthe Bookstore and the post o ffice been figured separately 'Students are concerned wit'the bookstore profits onl yFiguring the two togethermakes convenient confusion .

How about that accumulated surplus? How expensivEwould it be to borrow moneyto start the season? Couldn' twe use the surplus and let theannual profits take care of th einterest expenses ?

And the biggest question o fall . What would have happene cto all that money if ThEGazette hadn't begun an in.quiry?

• The following is a reprint of America nauthor Ernay Hemingwerst's first look at a

university football game .—Ed.

It was wet. It had been raining all morning ,

and now everything was soaking . I was soaking .

As I waited for my date in the Common Room a t

Mac Hall, my clothes stuck to me. She came

down finally, and she looked excited and radiant ."Hi,' she said .

"Hi," I said.We started for the football field. I was abl e

to pick up six bottles of 'Scotch the night before ,and as we walked along, I could feel them flop-

ping loosely in my trouser pockets . The flopping

bottles felt good, but I was looking forward tositting down . I was having trouble keeping my

pants up .She was very excited . She would run a littl e

now and then, splashing muddy water on m y

clothes. Sometimes I splashed back, but it wasdifficult to do an adequate job. My pants kept

slipping .We were the first spectators to arrive at th e

field . She said she liked to sit away from the rest

of the crowd. We sat on the grassy bank on the

west side of the field at about the ten yard line .

It was the wrong spot . I sat down in a gras scovered puddle, and now another part was wet .

*

*

*

The teams came on to the field . I took out on e

of the bottles and drank it . It was poor liquor ,

but it warmed all the way down. The game start-

ed . The kick-off came toward the end of the fieldwhere we were sitting . The kick-off return wa s

67 yards, and play remained at the other endfor the rest of the first quarter .

After the first few plays the players' sweat-ers were so muddy it was impossible to tellfriend from foe.

By quarter time I had finished the six quartsof whiskey. I felt a little glow. Somewhere ,someone grabbed my hand and said,

"Isn't this lovely .""Yes," I said, "lovely . "The Scotch had made me talkative .The teams changed ends, and on the opening

play of the quarter, a long forward pass too kthe ball to the other end of the field . Play stayedthere for the rest of the half. The field oppositewhere we were sitting was a solid green, at th eother end a sea of mud. The scoreboard hadbeen damaged by the rain and was not operating .For the first time in my life I didn't know whatthe score was .

*

*

*Just before half-time, we got our first close

look at a f000tball player . He was being carried

"I do . solemnly swear that Iwill faithfully execute the Of-

fice of President of the Unite dStates, and will, to the bestof my Ability, preserve, pro-ect and defend the Constitu-tion of the United States . "

off on a stretcher and his face was covered inblood.

"Isn't this fine," she said."Yes," I said, "fine . "

At half-time she decided to get us somethingto eat . She insisted that I stay where I was whileshe got the food. The water in the puddle hadrisen about two inches . As she got up to go forthe food, she kicked me in the shin with one o fher high heels .

"Ouch," I said ."Hurt," she said ."Yes," I said ."Sorry," she said .She went to get the food . I could feel the bloo d

running slowly down my leg . It stopped runningand I knew it had coagulated . But it was sore .Very sore .

She came back carrying six hot dogs, and 2cups of coffee . She thought I might be hungry ,she said . She handed me four hot dogs. I hatehot-dogs . I had looked forward to a cup of coffee ,but as she handed it to me, she slipped on th ewet grass, and spilled coffee all over me . It wa shot .

She began drinking from her own cup, an dnow and then I would accidentally hit her arm .Some of it spilled on her clothes .

The second half was like the first . Play re-mained at the other end of the field . I was soake din coffee, and rain, and had a badly swolle nankle .

Isn't this marvellous," she said ."Yes," I said, `marvellous . "The game finally ended . We had seen abso-

lutely no football, and heard no score . The mud-covered players left the field and we walke dback to Mac Hall . I tried not to limp, but he rheels must have been very sharp . My leg hurt . Ilimped. Finally we got to the residence.

She went in, and I started home . It had stoppedraining. Halfway home, I remembered. Therewas something I had to do. I turned back to MacHall . When I got there I had her called. Shecame down and smiled when she saw me . Whenshe got close I kicked her hard in the shin . Ilooked down and saw the blood making strang epatterns on her muddy ankle. I looked at herface . She looked surprised .

"Ouch," she said ."Hurt?" I said ."Yes," she said ."'Sorry," I said .I turned to leave ."Ernay?" she said ."Yes," I said ."We had," she said, "such a damn fine time

together.""Yes," I said, `"a damn fine time . "I buttoned my coat and went out . It was rain-

ing again. I could see couples and groups head-ing for the coffee shop. I started home . I wasfeeling better, now . Much better .

Or, at least, they would tothe ordinary run of men. We donot know if even a man suc has this will be able to solvethe problems with which hisnation is confronted : even lessdo we know if he will be ableto solve the apparent dilemmawith which the Western Worldis faced .

We are impressed by hisactions during the two monthsof the "lame-duck" period : weare impressed by the calibre of

Speech `slanderousdissolves into chaos and endsin dictatorship ."

Gibson said, "I want tomake it clear that my speechat UBC was not intended inany way to discredit personal-ly the minister of Mines or t ocast aspersions upon the civilservants of B.C .

"Today the minister quotedfrom a newspaper report ofmy speech. The alleged quo-tations contained were frag-mentary and of a necessityfailed to convey the full mean-ing or intent of my remarks .

"I can assure the house andthe people of B.C. that i ful-ly intend to set forth my viewsabout this government and it spolicies in my forthcomingspeech;

"I hope that I will be giv-ing the right to be heard. Letthem judge me after they hav eheard me."

At one point, Kiernan saidthat to check the' newspaperreports of ' the speech, hewrote Liberal Leader Ray Per-fpuit Kiernan . although hebad the permission of Liberalleader Ray Perrault did notread the letter . -Here is itsfeat, de released later by Per-rault:

"I would, suggest that bothyou and I keep in mind, whenConsidering any remarks attri-buted to Mr. Gordon Gibsonthat perhaps he, of all people ,3s entitled to speak with forceand persuasion in regard t othe matter of honesty or dis-honesty in government .

"In 1955, he left this Houseaccused of unwarranted and. 'untruthful charges. Subse-quently his stand was provenhi the court to have been notonly warranted but indeed agreat public service .

He now takes his seat inthis House as a member dulytlected to represent the man ythousand votes in North Van-ouver. By reason of such

election he now has the confi .fence of the persons he re-sresents and I would notthink he should" be denied the'fight to speak out in suchnanner as he chooses to do .

"Neither you nor I shouldpresume to comment in ad-ranee on what he wishes to:ay, or to limit his right to in-lividual expression on anyubject .

"Mr. Gibson is the first t oadmit that in certain areas h epeaks as an individual withmowledge born of personal)xperience which no otherran or woman in this housean claim to have .
