workers will have to carry out a

housecleaning program to reducethe accumulation, Garry Miller ,Student Council treasurer, declare dye sterday,

"The accumulation is gettin glarger all the time," he reportedto The Ubyssey. "Please tell the

students to come and look it over . "

LOOK IN AM SHe believes that many students

did not know that articles foundon the campus were brought tothe AMS office to be claimed .Other students who had inquiredfor lost articles might find tha tthey had now been turned In, hesaid .

The collection, Miller said, in-cludes numerous textbooks, slide -rules, scarves, girls' kerchiefs ,

spectacles, pens and pencils, lec-ture notes, gloves, compacts ,

lighters — and service men's dis-

charge buttons .

The motley collection had be-come too big for the availabl e

space, Miller stated .

ONE PROFESSOR of history onthe campus has found that over-worked dynamos add dramati c

impact to his lectures .Speaking to an English Histor y

class on the Napoleonic wars, th eprofessor quoted a British states -man's famous saying : "The lamp sare going out in Europe . "

At his words, the lighting of th eArts building blacked out, due toa power failure .

POWER FAILURE Council Plans $100,000 Loa nAIDS LECTURE

From Students For More Spac eCALLING for a flood of student suggestions for expan-

sion of Brock Hall facilities, Garry Miller, AMS treasurer ,revealed Tuesday that the planned expansion will not entai la mere addition to the present building but will be a secon dbuilding, probably of larger size .

"The Student Council plans t o

float a bond issue to finance theexpansion, " he declared, "Wewould be able to float a loan of a tleast $100,000, and probably coul d

make one of up to $150,000 . "

The present Brock Hall wa sbuilt on a bond issue of $80,00 0floated in 1939 . This will all b e

paid off in two years, probably

sooner, Miller disclosed .

Original plans were to pay offthat loan in 11 years by a threedollar addition to each student' s

AMS fee . Increased enrollmen thas meant that only $16,000 re -mains to be paid off .

Continuation of the three dolla rtax would be ample to pay off theproposed larger loan in an 11-yearperiod in view of the size of th estudent body, Miller said .

Pointing out that the method o ffinancing the new building made

It the students' property, Millersaid the AMS committee preparing

plans for the expansion wouldwelcome suggestions of all kindsfrom students, especially those ofthe first and second years wh owould be here to use it .

Because of the continuing diffi-culty of getting building materials ,Miller could not forecast when thenew Brock Hall could be built .However, he thought constructio ncould start late next year.

The committee working on theplans would like to present de -tails to city architects within amonth, Miller said . The committeele meeting weekly and would giv efull consideration to all sugges-tions received .

Approved by the Student Coun-cil on Monday night was the com-mittee's suggested priority listingfor facilities proposed for the ex -tension .SPOT ONE

Given first priority are : cabaret -style dance floor, 75 by 135 feet .

LUTHER CLU Bamphitheatre to accommodate 25 0persons, a salon for 30 persons an danother for 80, a Totem office, 1 6

Visioning Visual Education The 2fGyseaf

The onus is now on education and th e

general public, with its tendency to "arm

chair generalize, " is diverting its attentio n

away from atomic battles and boundarydisputes to the topical question of "Who isgoing to university, how, what, why, an dwhere? "

Every "arm chair educator" has con-ceptions of what the university is doing ,and all have ideas as to how these thingsshould be done . But some of the mos tvaluable offerings have come from student sthemselves, even if they are addicted to rose -colored glasses, and we would like to present ,and add to, an editorial sanction of "celluloideducation" presented by the Toronto "Var-sity, " representative newspaper of th elargest student body in Canada .

The "Varsity" has gone out on anargumentative limb in intimating that inmany cases the screen and projector couldreplace, if not completely, partially, th eprofessor and the diagrammed text-books .But the limb won't break, because theeditorial in question has been reinforced byhealthy arguments favoring establishmen tof technical and documentary films as anintegral part of the curricula of all Canadianuniversities, with special attention given toengineering and medical courses ,

"If several universities were to co-oper-ate, sharing the cost and benefits of edu-cational movies, and the change was madeslowly, it might not cost any more than th epresent system" reasons the editorial, whic hqueries pointedly if "the potentialities o fmovies have been recognized by Canadian

Outdistancing by far any other new sstory this week in news value, is, we feel ,the Publications Board challenge to th eStudents Council to a quiet and slightlyathletic noon hour game of basketball . Theverbal gauntlet has been hurled down, an dthe contest, long and eagerly-awaited uni-versity tradition and always won by thePublications Board, is, as the sportingauthors say, "on" .

However, Students must decide fo rthemselves beforehand whether or not the yare in favor of increasing Students Councilmembership again this year. In an effortto stem the tide of Publications Boardbasketball victories, council members hav ecalled for larger councils, with the resultthat this year a Social Coordinator andSophomore Member were added to counci lranks. One, an ex-Pubster disloyal to th e

PUBLISHED below is an exchangeeditorial written for The Varsity, studentnewspaper of The University of Toronto, byPaul Vaillancourt jr. of the University ofMontreal's Le Quartier Latin, and translatedfrom the French by another U of M student ,Marcel Reid.

The Ubyssey reprints it here in theinterests of better inter-provincial relation-ships .

A question to the forefront in our Uni-versity at the present time is the formatio nof relationships with other universities .Furthermore, we have decided to establishat U of M a foreign relationship department,to make our university known and to ex -change opinions on questions of the day .We are convinced that these relationshipsshould not be kept at a half-sincere hand -shaking level.

To make these contacts profitable, w eshould discuss not the ideas on which weare united, but those on which we ar edivided. And we shall not be surprised ifthere are many that fall in the latter cate-gory .

Unity Is Crucia lSurely one of the first problems to be

discussed will be the problem of NationalUnity; and on this subject we at Montrealhave ideas of our own. We have beenhearing of it ever since we were old enoug hto read the Star, without asking ourselveswhat it signified .

There live beside one another in Canadatwo great nations, each with its own religion ,culture, language, and aspirations . We be-lieve that, with all the good will in the world ,a single nation cannot be mashed out of theseteterogeneous elements . Nor would such afeat be of any advantage, either for the oneculture or for the other ; for the personalit yof each would suffer in proportion as unity

Visual education does not appearneglected "west of the Rockies," anda documentary film being prepared bythe' extension department of the universityabout the expansion of the university itsel fis perhaps the "thin edge of the celluloidwedge" here. The film, sponsored by theuniversity, will be distributed throughou tthe province to high school groups ' toconvince people who "don't believe a thinguntil they see it," that education is essentia land the University of British Columbia ca nprovide that education .

*The next steps for the university should

be, first, the presentation of scientific anddocumentary films produced, if the ide a"catches," by other Canadian universitie sand such groups as the National Film Board ;and secondly, the production of educationa lfilms here. We have the potentialities an dthe slogan, "A projection-room lecturetheatre for every permanent building " maywell be seized upon by students .

As the editorial sums up, the fundamen-tal advantages of visual education remain ,for "In the fraction of a second during whicha scene changes ji movie could take thespectator to any part of the infinitesimallysmall world in which bacteria, atoms, an dthe theory of the calculus exist . "

council members, which may only end whe nall undergraduates except pubsters arecouncillors, by circulating petitions on th ecampus to the effect that council may notbe authorized to call for future increase ofmembership in the face of impending Pub-lications Board basketball victories . Thiswill guarantee that the freedom of the pressmay be safeguarded from a preponderanceof councillors .

The situation, is, as we see it, in ourusually unbiased fashion, "crucial," Stu -dents must choose between freedom of th epress and preposterous preponderance ofcouncillors .

about achieving National Unity by this old ,unprofitable and impossible formula? Letus leave the politicians to wrangle over tha tmethod of meaningless compromise .

In our relationships with other universi-ties, we shall look less for unanimity than forgood friendship and mutual understanding .For without agreeing with the thoughts andactions of another person, one can under-stand and even sympathize with his motives .We intend that these exchanges of ideasshall be sincere, and free from racial o rreligious prejudices . We shall not try toconvince our friends that Quebec is th ecentre of the world, nor shall we in turn b eready to believe that Toronto is .

MADISON — The University o fWisconsin faculty has barred al lnew out-of-state, non-veteran stu-dents from the school during thenext semester which begins Janu-ary 22 .

The action was taken because ofhousing shortage in Madison . Itsaid the measure is only tem-porary.

Exceptions will be made for stu-dents appointed to teaching orresearch assistantships, scholar-ships and fellowships carryingcompensation .Exceptions also will be made for

wives and husbands of studentswho are admitted, for studentswith a bachelors degree and ahigh grade average, and for for-eign students who enter the uni-versity direct from their countries .

LETTERS ToThe Editor

Beauty and ChildDear Madam :

Barbara Smith, in her Beauty-On-The-Spot column of January1P, overlooked one important as-pect of her views in favour ofwomen graduating .

Women bear children . And be-cause they bear children they,more than anyone else, play th emajor part in rearing their chil-dren. Therefore, who will nor-mally make the better mother, thebetter companion—she who hashad but meagre education andnarrow scope in life, or the wo-man who has a deep particularknowledge and a wide genera lknowledge, who has seen much oflife and letters, if only vicariously,the woman ,in short, who is cul-tured ?

In over twenty years of matur-ity spent in three 'continents thepresent writer has yet to meet thechildren of a mother who was auniversity graduate, who werenot themselves above the averag ein intellect, poise—culture in gen-eral .

The Gauntlet is Hurle d

a voice From .quebec

No Melting-PotWe do not believe, for example, that the

only way towards a good solution involve sa basic handbook of Canadian History de-signed not to hurt anyone's feelings anddirected by an exclusively Canadian ideal .We do not want to forget our past, becaus eto forget our past would be to deny ourhistory. Those who have died and havesuffered to obtain our rights shallnot receivethis insult.

Meanwhile, we are ready to face the futurewith confidence, because we see among theyounger generation some unambiguouswishes for good friendship . May thosewishes of good friendship become concret eand real .

Thanks to these exchanges of ideas amongstudents of Canadian universities, we hopeto see some day our two distinct nationalities ,each saving its own character, both inspiredby the same strictly Canadian ideal, havin gthe same flag and working together to theexpansion of Canada.

ONE of the quainter aspects of life on the campus cameto light the other day, when we discovered that The Ubyssey' sregular Thursday issue comes out on Saturday . '

This puts us all in a heck of a spot. Sunday dinners aregoing to be eaten on Tuesday, which is a meatless day .Hermine, put that can of Spam right back in the cupboard :we can 't have Sunday dinner until Wednesday this year,WEEKEND S

Even worse, weekends falling onMonday and Tuesday as they no wdo, hapless undergraduates won' thave any weekly break . This wil lnot apply to honor students an dgraduates, as any Joker realizesthey work all the time.

It pains me to realize that th ework I do on Tuesday and Wed-nesday is going to be old stuff, be -cause I really did it on Monda yand Tuesday, and the results don'tbecome apparent until Thursdaybecause that's when our issuecomes out.

And then, when at the last mo-ment I think all is sweet harmonyagain, I remember that it won' tappear at all until Saturday, be -cause Thursdays now come onSaturdays, and Saturdays fallin gon Mondays as we are assure dthey must, that brings us to nex tweek, and I have to start in allover again .WEAK END S

The shade of an old gentlema nnamed Gregory is by this timeturning over in his hallowed be dno more than our poor brains arewhirling here in tale office.

At the risk of another catfitfrom the correspondent who hasprecipitated this diurnal calamity ,we must carry the matter out inlogic to the bi t ter end.

Take, for example, midnight .Now it isn't midnight any more :it's two o'clock in the morning ,of all things! The dear old witch-ing hour has gone all to pot, for-sooth. And already there areominous rumors that sweet youn gthings all through the city are go-ing on strike .

Youngsters coming under theten bells curfew law ate hoppingmad, spitting fire . They have tobe in by eight now, to complywith the New Order of "LJ .C . "This smacks of totalitarianism,and they don't like it ,DAWN PATROL

Think of it . You get up at six -thirty, yawning happily to your -

self "Well, I'll certainly mak ethat eight-thirty this morning. "And then, in the middle of you rmatutinal orange, you realize witha chill that you're already half a nhour late, because it was eight -thirty when you got up at six -thirty.

Well, all right . Take it inmonths . Aunt Lizzie's birthdaycomes on the fourth of February .But she's had it, because thatcame on the sixth of December,and worse than being two monthsand two days old, it's last year,and that was 1943 because it was1945 .

So here we are, all happy an dgay in the Twentieth Century .Only we aren't, really. This hasto be the Twenty Second Century,and we've all been blown to blazesbecause Einstein's third grandso ncommitted an error in judgmen twith a refinement of the atomi cbomb 'way back in 2032 .

NO, NOT YETBut it is even more confusin g

than that . The calendar, one re-maining, stable prop in this whirl-ing nightmare of our New Realityand Age of Reason, tells us this

• is 1946 . So we are living two hun-dred years ago in the 1740's, andthe American revolution hasn' teven happened yet . Truman oughtto be happy about that .

So today isn't today, because it'sthe day after tomorrow, and i fthis is Thursday which is Satur-day it has to be Tuesday becaus eTuesday is Thursday . What'smore, today, being the day aftertomorrow, is also the day beforeyesterday, which is what todaywas when it is today.

the gospel . . .according to Luke Moyls

THOSE RED-HOT JOKER SIF EVER THERE IS an organization on the campus that 's

screwy to the last nut and bolt, the Jokers ' Club is it. But

we 've got to hand it to them. When there are crazier

contraptions or ideas to be brought up, we'll look to the

Jokers .Although their sparks are setting fire to every square inch

of the campus, their hottest firebrands are warming UBC ' s

sports soup to a delectably scintillating smell of steaming

enthusiasm, something unsmelt of for many moons .

The gospel they are spreading isn 't hard to swallow. To

become a Joker one must renounce all ways of convention —

after paying the one buck registration fee . Women, jokes ,

and low-down music (?) are foremost in every Joker 's mind ,

and in that order .

Are You A Joker Convert?Led by Ace Joker Dave Hayward, who, incidentally, wa s

once a Thunderbird basketball player, the newly-formed sec t

spends much of its spare time mingling with UBC 's 7000-odd

students, converting such characters as they can touch fo r

one somolian, and scaring non-believers all to hell .Naturally these Jokers take advantage of sporting event s

because the students are so much more concentrated and

easier to contact at UBC's various athletic features. And

seeing as how sports editors usually attend such contests, i t

isn't long before they accost me.I tell them I haven't a greenback to my name, but they just

laugh in my face . (Jokers don't find it hard to laugh, even

if it isn 't a joke.)A ferret-faced individual sidles up to me and, after

informing me that he has been elected to check my case, he

says my goose is cooked because he finds out that the boss

doubles my pay only last week . I have to admit this, but

I plead with them. After all, two times nothing is still

nothing .

Woe Betide The Non-Believe rWhen it becomes evident that they won't take no for a n

answer, I ask them how my credit stands . Little Ferret-Face

replies, saying it ain 't in very good shape .Well, I tell them that I might get a job with some luck y

newspaper when I graduate. Why only last summer I amearning as much as ten dollars a week and all the copy pape r

I can eat. But it's no use. They tell me their treasury isdry. They won't accept nothing but cold cash .

Since that day my life has been one hectic chase. lustbecause I didn't have ready money, they've branded me anon-believer—practically an outcast . Only last Saturday Iwas almost run down by their car parade as I was on myway to the rugger game. Those Jokers stop at nothing .

I hear there's going to be a fencing exhibition betweenhalves at Saturday night's basketball game. Remind me topolish up my stainless steel suit . The Jokers are bound tobe there, and something tells me there might be somebloodshed.

Cleaning A Well-Soiled Cuff

,Here's an interesting note from one of Jim Coleman s

recent columns in the Toronto Globe and Mail : "Gent namedBob Gage writes from Ottawa to offer the opinion that th eAssumption College basketball team could beat Universityof British Columbia Thunderbirds . . . Points out tha tAssumption won its final 12 games consecutively last yea rand has won seven out of eight so far this season . , . There' san excellent idea for some local promoters . . . Gage alsosuggests that Victoria Dominoes could be invited east, too ,since they split with the Thunderbirds in a two-game series . "

. And here's another hot note from Royal Brougham' scolumn in the Seattle P-I: "La Don Henson is la leader inla coast conference scoring, making la Edmundson very happ yand proud ." . . . And here's an Ode to Basketball :

We'd love the referee, I know,If but his horn he wouldn't blow ,Moral of this brief epistle —Ref, we do not like your whistle !

TTHUNDERBIRD SKIER SENTER KANDAHAR

THE NATIONAL Collegiate Ath-letic Amociation convention in St.Louis has heard a strong argu-ment against the recruiting andemployment of athletes by col-leges.

Dr. Arthur Holly Compton—theWashington university chancellor—told delegates that intercollegiatesports are at the crossroads in themost cr itical period of their his-tory because of financial pressureto win games .

Compton said many coaches andcolleges are straining their con -sciences in employing athletes an durging students to devote to thegame time and interest that shouldbe reserved for studies. He sai dthis tendency has led to a popularopinion that college athletes ar edullards unable to take part in

"If the heavy demand for inter -collegiate games as sports spec-tacles interferes with a program ofeducational athletics, the institu-tions that are in earnest abou teducation will toe compelled tostop the intercollegiate games. "

Compton, went on to say he fel tthat such a move would be in thewrong direction—even if circum-stances compelled it.

Earlier, NCAA baseball coache stook steps to prevent the bigleagues from grabbing players be -fore they finish school .
