BureauDirectorWanted• APPLICATIONS for the Po-sition of next year's Director ofthe University Employment Bur-eau must be handed in to theAMS office by Satutday, Febru -ary12

Prospective applicants m u a thave initiative and a desire toserve the students, and also a cer-tain amount of foresight in orderto plan for a full time post-warBureau. Experience in some oc-cupation outside UBC is preferre dbut is not absolutely necessary .DIRECTORS DUTIES

Duties of the Director are: 1 0is manage the office efficientl yand to place as many students aspossiblt. (2)To keep in close con -tact with downtown businessmenand organizations.

The position entails an averageof two hours work a day. In ad-dition to this it is expected thatthe appointee (appointed by theStudent Council) will spend sometime this year in the Bureau in or -der to acquaint himself with thework.

The Editor ,Ubyssey,Dear Madam :

ISS has been sabotaged! Lastyear the International StudentService campaign was a completeflop because of the fact that therewere too many other activitiesgoing , on during the drive . Thisyear the ISS committee made surethat this would not happen again(we thought) .

The first week of February wasbooked three months ego, and theStudent's Council Office promisedfelthfully that there would be noother event of any sort all duringthat week .

After three months of planning,the ISS committee announced itsprogram for the week. Every-thing was cut and dried and read yto go—last year's terrible recordof lea than one and a half centsper student would be blotted outand UBC would be able to hold upits head again.

However, with leas than a

week to go and all the progra mlined up, Student's Council sud-denly realized that elections hadto come off during that week(someone mutt have been thumb-ing through the constitution) .

Well, well," says Council, "yo ushould have realtzec that electionswere that week."

"We're very sorry, but we wan tMonday for speeches and Wednes-day for elections." (It seemedthat Dr. Shrum had somehowbooked the auditorium for Tues-day noon tour, so that was outtoo.) Postponing the elections fo ra week was suggested, but theCouncil thought that utterly redic-uloue—the constitution did not sa yanything about postponing them ,and one had to abide by the con-stitution—that was final.

The thousands of students, someof them from our own alma meter,who are helped by ISS funds werenot even considered.

Council, it seems, is afraid ofcriticism. There has been much

hostilities, the ISS Intends to con-centrate on post-war relief forstudents .

ISS Week on the campus willend with "Hunk Henderson Bas-ketball Night" on Friday .

At 7 :30 "Pat Bay Gremlins" wil lappear against Varsity Thunder -birds In the gym. At 9 :00 a dancewill be held In the Brock, "Th eLetterman's Limp" featuring DaveMcLellan's orchestra .

A Vancouver Committee of Na-tional ISS has been proposed t osupervise and provide a continuingbody of people to direct the wor kof the ISS in Vancouver . It woul dbe made up of representatives of

of it lately (—and rightly so, Iwould tend to think—) and Coun-cil is afraid that if such an un-orthodox thing as the postponingof elections is done it will beopen to more criticism.

So, became our Council has no"guts," UBC will, in all probab-ility, not redeem herself in themanner we had hoped from herterrible record of last year, andmore important, all those studentswho are up against the coldreality of a barren prison cam pwill have that much less financialaid.

AU this because we have a coun-cil who cannot see beyond itsnow, and who has no seams of re-aponaibility to anything that Isreally worth while and progra-elve .

This, of course,' is just the lat-est example of the shortsighted-ness of this year's Council .

Out of all this comes two points .Firstly, be careful when you voteon Wednesday, and secondly, do

grads, undergrads and high schoolstudents.

INFORMATIONIt would undertake to spread

information regarding ISS, to ai dstudents in areas disrupted by war ,to plan for student rehabilitatio nIn the post-war period.

Thus it is hoped that a perman-ent group will be provided which

will maintain interest and accumu-late information and experience

over a period of years . It would

be put at the disposal of the War

Aid Council and would work to

enlist the help of the people of

the community .

not shrug ISS off as Council hasdone, saying as it has said thatelections or other things are mor eimportant. Because, damn it,anyone with half a brain knowsthat's a lot of rot !

We can't fiddle around withtradition and red tape, etc ., whilethe rut of the world is burning,while people are starving and dy-ing and going slowly nuts becaus ethere is nothing else to do bu twander around a bleak, lonelyprison camp.

Perhaps if members of Councilhad to live in a prison camp fo rthree or four years, like HunkHenderson has had to do, andlike thousands of other studentshave had to do, they would not soreadily say, "We're sorry butthere is nothing we an do . "

So there are two things to re -member this week. Elect an effi-cient council for next year andGIVE A DOLLAR TO ISS,Harry L. Benny,Chairman MS Committee

At Noon• THE POLITICAL winds

begin to blow at 12 :30Wednesday, when part yleaders for the coming Moc kParliament will present theirplatforms for the approvalof the voting public,

The election will take place atthe meeting in Arts 100. Ballotswill be distributed at the meeting ,and there will be no outside vot-ing.STATEMENTS

Pre-election statements from theleaders of the parties contestin gthe elections were as follows :

Lea Raphael, Liberals: "The Lib-eral party stands, as always, fornatural evolution of Canada aren gwell-establianed lines and in ac-cordance with specific problems ofCanada.

"Progress is necessary and forth -coming, but it will he a progressstrictly Caradlan, and not pattern-ed after an idealistic concept ofthe sodalist state.

"We will endeavour to promot eand foster Canadian unity in everypossible way so that Canada mayact effectively to preserve peace inthe post war era in league withother mutually sympathetic na-tions. "

Jim Wilson, CCF, "The basis forany post war international co-op-eration, economic or political ,should be the United Nations, one.not the British Commonwealth ofNations. We shall endeavour t oInaugurate a progressive form ofdecentralized socialism, and vigor-ously oppose all reactionary in-fluences." .DOWN-TO-EARTH

John Cowan, Progressive-Con-servative. "The policy of the Pro-gressive-Conservatives is the onl ysound and logical, down-to-earthpolicy in Canada today .

"It opposes the bureauocracy,frustration, and negations of "King .ism " ; the naive socialism with itsshabby-genteel form \ Of "utopia-planning" for Canada

."The Progressive- Conserativesbelieve the British partnershipas against the quasi-united nations,should be the nucleus of wo rl dpeace.

The Labour-Progressive party ,which is not to be represented inthe parliament urges their sup-porters to vote CCF.

Remember, the only way youcan express your opinion in' thi selection is to attend the meetin gin Arts 100 at noon on Wednesday,

Bibbs andPorteousIn Contest• WEDNESDAY, students

will go to the polls to de-cide who will be next year'sAMS president. The pollswill be open from 10 to 4and will be located in thefoyer of the Auditorium .

This year there are only twocandidates, Dick Bibbs and St uPorteous, Both students have ha dexecutive experience. This pas tyear B'tbbs has been serving onthe council as Junior Member.

He has also been active in Mc -Goun Cup debates and the parlia-mentary Forum, Porteous is presi-dent of third year Arts and Secre-tary of the Commerce club.

Following are the platforms ofthe candidates;DICK BIBBSt

"The president of the AlmaMater Society in the coining yearwill, with a new president at theuniversity, with the possibility ofthe war's concluding, face prob-lems not now seen. He must beprepared to lead the society againinto the activities and inter -col-legiate competition of peace, or t ocontinue the curtailed activities ofwartime while ensuring that un-expended revenue is wisely setaside for future needs.

Because the future is unsettledand because the normal function sof a president, which include mak-ing a liberal return to the studentsthrough economy in operating theAMS, and fostering public goodwill through sane handling of slu edent affairs, cannot properly beincluded ih a platform ; I wouldlimit my platform . to three prin-ciples of immediate concern to theSociety :1. Maintaining did increasing stu-

dent control over studentbuildings.

2. Development of goodwill withthe administration.

3. Full co-operation with theAlumni Association in thei rattempts to have establishe dthe Department of PhysicalEducation, increased bursariesand campus residences.

STU PORTEOU &"The decision to fire the account-

ant should not have been takenat a special meeting of the Councilin the middle of the summer wit honly five of the nine memberspresent" said Stu Porteous.

"In view of the fact that theAlma Mater Society is big business,and the fact that the President andTreasurer serve only one term i tis essential that there be a manin the office with business back-ground and accounting experience,who will be there this year, nex tyear and the year after, who willbe able to offer assistance and ad-vice to the president and treasurerand who will be a link betweencouncils,

Because of the uncertainty ofwar conditions Porteous didn' twish to commit himself to any se tplatform, but promised to cam-paign whole heartedly and enthus :iaatically for any worthwhile sawdent enterprises.

Porteous felt that because of hi sextensive executive experience,his comherce training, his enthus-iasm for this kind of work and be-cause he would have a great dealof time to devote to the job, thathe was the logical choice.

After a great deal of uncertainty thatsprang up last week, ISS Week did get off t oa Mart yesterday with a free tea dance i nBrock Hall . That tea dance is to be followedwith a full week of entertainment for th estudents .

It is to be remembered that the students-are not required to pay for these activities .They are presented more as a recompensefor donations to the ISS fund ,

The committee in charge has set as anobjective the sum of one dollar from ever ystudent. However, many students on thecampus do not know what the ISS is anddoes, and so we feel that some explanation isnecessary.

ISS stands for the International StudentService . It is the organization which pro •video textbooks and studying supplies fo rstudents who are held in prison camps inenemy territory. ,

The fund ii maintained by donationsfrom many organizations, most of them fromuniversities like ours.

Not only students, but professors whoare prisoners as well are served by the ISS .It provides one means of occupying theminds and the long hours spent in captivityby our fellow students who are less fortunatethan ourselves.

Students who subscribe to the coursesoffered by ISS may obt$in degrees and com-plete their courses if they have discontinuedtheir education to join the forces . Studyingallows a release from the monotony an dworry which attends the prison life . . .

Canadian universities in the East andmiddle west have already held their IS Sdrives and some of them raised as much astwo dollars and fifty cents from each stu-dent during the week's drive . Last year,

UBC contributed the pitiful sum of $180—this from a university of approximately 2,500students ,

This year the War Aid Council resolvedto make up for last year's flop by collectingone dollar from everyone. They began thei rpreparations for the events last Novembe rand have carried them forward since thattime. Now they find at the last minute tha ttheir plans must be changed .

The one drive of the year which shoul dinterest students, as students, and whic hmay probably be of direct benefit to someof our own friends is confronted with ob-stacles at the very beginning which maywell mean the failure of the drive.

Every student on the campus shouldmake a special effort to support , the drive tothe best of his ability. It is unfortunate tha tit follows so closely upon the Red Cross Bal lwhen most students gave as much as theycould afford to the Red Cross,

But there must be some money left inthe pockets of the people at UBC . We mustsupport this cause, because it is a worthyone, and because we cannot let the otheruniversities of Canada feel that they ar ecarrying the burden, and that we in thewest refuse to acknowledge that there is aneed for student service.

One of Varsity's best-loved basket -ball players is at this moment confined in aprison camp. A basketball game and dancewill be held in his honour during this week ,and it is hoped that all students who knewhim, or know of him, will torn out to theseevents and donate their dollars to ensurethat he, and all the others like him will hav etheir lives brightened a, little by the effort sof the students of the university of BritishColumbia .

CongratulationsCouncil and the students combined to pro-duce the best soctsl-event of the year .

It is to be hoped that future Red CrossBalls will prove as successful as this one ,and that future drives on the campus willbe as well supported .

One means of testing the co-operation ofthe students and their ability to subscribeto every worthy cause which is promotedon the campus is the present ISS Drive. Ifwe can make as great a success of this drive ,which in the first place has a much smalle robjective than the Red Cross Drive, we wil lhave proved to the public that universit ystudents are not entirely oblivious to theresponsibilities which they, as students, ma yundertake .

Not only was more money added to thegrowing Red Cross Fund than ever beforeby this one means, but also the studentswere treated to better entertainment tha nhas before been presented.

The committee of fraternity men an dwomen who were responsible for the well -planned program, and the efforts of the

The Red Cross Ball and affiliated event swere a tremendous success .

Despite the complaints of those peoplewho could not evade the conscientious raffl eticket promoters and the high pressure sales-men of the dance tickets, students of UBCand friends of UBC gave freely to the gian tdrive .

What's Wrong With COTCAdvenee eopy of editorial to appear in the Jemmy miller o1 The

Engineering Journal, the monthly publication of The Engineering Instituteof Canada .

University students always And something about which to grumble ,but never has there been so widespread and so common complaint as tha tabout the Canadian Officers Training Corps. A visit with the studentsin any university reveals that this is the first thing they are ready t o

talk about .The institute's interest in this Iles principally in the fact tha t

engineering students from practically *very university,beve brought thei r

questions and complaints to its attention and have eked for suistanc e

in exposing conditions which they claim are unfair, unreasonable, and

wasteful of time and energy. The almost unanimous agreement among

students of all universities indicates a state of affairs whirl requires

thoughtful consideration by the proper officials . The opinion of members

of the staffs seems to support the complaints of the students.

The complaints are these:(a) The work is very elementary, and the same programme i s

followed every year for four years. The student in his senior year

Invariably feels that six hours a week have been totally wasted . He has

learned nothing that would be of value in the event of an invasion, o rthat is of use to him If subsequent to graduation he joins the Army .

This repitltive work, of high school cadet grade, bores the student o f

university calibre. Many claim that their performance is worse at the en dof the four years than it was when they started.

(b) No credit is given for all this drill when the student enlist s

in the Army. On the other hand, the Navy and Air Force allow theircandidates reasonable credit for the work they do in the UniversityNaval Division and University Air Training Corps. What is even more,since their programmes are much farther advanced than that of theArmy, the boys maintain an interest in them and actually get somebenefit from them. If the training of the COTC is not worth anythin gto the Army, it is a mild statement to say there would seem to besomething wrong with it .

There is only one man moreannoying than the man who turn soff the lights at a party, and tha tis the one who turns them onagain,

s .e •Sgt.: "What do you mean youwere tricked into marriage? "Cdt : "The gun wasn't loaded . "

. .* *Freshman: "My blonde is so sus-picious, she keeps her shade clownwhile undressing ."Soph: "Just imagine! "Flesh : "That's what I have to do!"

There's the wonderful love of abeautiful maid ,

And the love of staunch trueman .

There's the love of a baby that' sunafraid ,

All have existed since timebegan .

But the most wonderful love ,The love of loves ,

Even greater than that of amother,

THE UBYSSE Y

No Economic DemocracyIn Canada - • Jamieson• THE EXISTENCE of economic democracy in Canada

today was the crux of a fast and furious argument Fridaylast between Mrs. Laura Jamieson, MLA for the CCF, andLeon Ladner, prominent Vancouver civil lawyer and formerConservative MLA, guest speakers at the first of the ne wseries of general student meetings sponsored by the Socia lProblems Club in Arts 100 .

Speaking on the topic, "Hav eWe Democracy In Canada Today?"Mrs. Jamieson said that Canada,after four years of war still hasconsiderable political democracy ,but is without economic demo-cracy.

She said that In spite of thegreat achievements in war pro-duction, the "reactionary" policiesof the King government on labor,farm and racial questions pre -vent the enjoyment of economicfreedom by the majority of Caned-Ian people.ORDERS-IN-COUNCIL

She particularly objected to themany thousand orders-in-counci lwhich the Ottawa Cabinet has is -Wad, terming them autocratic .

They are depriving parliamentof its tight to propose and enactlegislation in the name of the Can-adian people", she said . Undemo-cratic, too, was the exclusion ofrepresentatives of labour a n dfarmers from war boards.

.Mr. Ladner, on the other hand,stated that Canada not only haspolitical demdcracy but economicdemocracy as well; that the gov-ernment has had to make manychanges of an "authoritarian"nature, only to put Canada on awar footing; that the orders-in-council are part and parcel ofthat chines, agettlal for theefficient operation of the CanadianWar Wert.DISCUSSION

Mr. Ledne°s speech was fol-lowed by a lively panel discussionbetween the two speakers, in whichMrs; Jamieson 'accused the federalgovernment of many "undemo-critic" misdemeanors, especiallyon labor questions and war profits ,while Mr. Ladner defended thegovernment's record with equalvigor .

The question, do we have econ-omic democracy in Canada today,remained unanswered.

Wills Made,Council ToPlay Pub'• TERRIFIED council membershave at last agreed to set a dateIon the long 'postponed pub-councilbasketball game .

Last week the Pub, tiring of thefutile promises of the council, is-sued a fennel challenge to theirweak-kneed opponents, so wordedthat it could not be ignored byany self-respecting paramecium .

The result of this defiantmessage was that one councillor ,somewhat less closely related t oa jelly-bean than his fellows ,aroused himself momentarily tothumb his nose at the pub emmis-aries."WE WILL PLAY "

"We will play the pub duringthe first week of March," h egargled hideously .

"Next year, " ammended hi shorrified confederates immediate-ly .

It is to be expected, of course ,that the council will do its bestto forget the date, or put it off un-til the middle of exams, or some -thing along that line, but someaccident may yet force them toplay.

Celluloid BeatersFeature Attraction• TABLE TENNIS, the fastest game to be played as a

tournament, will be before the public's eye in the gy mtomorrow night, The Greek letters and independent teamswill supply all the talent needed to make this table tenni stournament a very great success .

Three players from each enteringrepresentative group will be al-lowed to enter the contests . Onemember will be allowed to pla yin the single rounds and two en-tirely different members will havea chance to take their place inthe doubles .ONE NIGHT STAND

The Idea of drawing up the rulesas such is to a l low a maximuminstead of a minimum of players toenter into the fun. The contestsare scheduled to be completed I nthe one night and playact shouldbe warned that they mutt disposeof any weaker opposition withgreat dispatch ,

This will make play in the finalsmuch easier and spirited and hurrythe bedtime hour along consider -ably .

Last year a team under the ban-ner of Beta Theta PI put a team ofAnglicans down for the final coun tafter the Anglicans knocked PhiKappa Sigma and XI Omega outof the running in the doubles,

Beta Theta Pi also made off withthe honours in the singles eventlast year, downing Deltas in thefinal .

feature basketball tilt .Add to this outstanding contest

a jive session from nine to one ,just across from the gym in theBrock Hall, and the evening iscomplete . Dance hits will be re -produced by Dave McLellan' aorchestra.

Much, credit is due to the Bi gBlock group for their work thisterm. Besides the great deal theyhave done for the promotion ofsports on the campus, they alsoaided the Red Cross by raising$128 at the Harlem Globe Trotterbasketball show here two week sago .

The UBC Thunderbirds are a tpresent in the second spot of theInter City Loop, but they intendto take a leap forward this week -end when they entertain the PatBay RCAF in the first two gameseries of the year . The first gam eis on Friday night at the campusgym and the second is at VAC onSaturday night ,

The Birds are all set for actionfor they are well aware that awin will put them in a clinch withthe Fliers for the first place . WithJim Scott and Bruce Yorke backwith the team, the outlook Ls quit ebright for Varsity .

Last Saturday, the Gremlinsfrom Patricia Bay barely nosedout the Vancouver Combines inthe contest over at Victoria . PatBay won out by a single baske twhich Norm Baker slipped in withminutes to go making the fina lscore 39.37.

Blue and Gold when the studentsvisited the home grounds of theVictoria league .

This victory for the CrimsonTide automatically cancels theposponed game between Vancou-ver and Victoria. A game wascalled at the end of the half be-fore Christmas because of densefog. Now if the game was playedthe most Vancouver could dowould be to get a tie with theIslanders. A tie would not takethe cup away from Victoria be -cause it is a challenge trophy andthe team holding the cup must bedecisively topped before it has torelinquish the mug.

Practises are now being concen-trated on T sdall Cup teams.Last year the Tindall Cup was aRound-Robin sudden death affairwhich saw Varsity triumph inthree straight games to take thecup. As the teams are defeatedthey automatically drop into theBell-Irving Cup play .

Perhaps there could be two cupheaded out this way?

Soccer MenHave ToughTime Sat:• THE JINX which has fol -

lowed both university socce rteams all stason continued itsdirty work on Saturday whenboth teams lost again, Varsity toWest Coast on the campus andUBC to Pro-Rec Rangers at Mc-Bride .

West Coast should have been aneasy win for Varsity but Philleywas missing, due to an injury,Bennie was unable to play, andCampbell was injured in the sec-ond half . Baker played In Ben-nie'splace at fullback and Martinplayed left wing instead of Phil -ley.

In the first half Varsity took thelead when McNeill scored andkept It until the second half. Tenminutes after the change over ,West Coast was awarded a pen-alty which they made good. Theyfollowed up with two break-awaygoals without a return from Var-sity to make the final score 3 to 1 .

Meanwhile UBC, forced to pla ywithout goalie Gamble, was play-ing circles around Pro-Rec Rang-ers . They just could not click a -round the goal, however, puttingshots around and above but neve rthrough . The jinx played havocon two shots which were abso-lutely certain, but stopped dea don the goal line

Pro-Rec had no such difficulty .On five break aways they eludedCowie, yho played goalie in thefirst half . These five goals gavethem a comfortable lead and e-ventually the game 5 to nothing.

Mermen, you don't know whatyou missed when you couldn't seeyour coed sisters (?) wrigglingtheir shapely fins through the YMCA pool . The scene at the poolwould have delighted the heart o fany rough old seafarer or science-man .

In the local game (7), the Vitttitle quintet had control of theplay for the most part of the con-test, but the Pie-Rates kept the mworried by sinking the occuiona llong shot. As a matter of fact,Laurier managed to take the leadat one point .

The Army had to play very care-ful ball, as the Vancouver refspoliced every foul . Art Chapmantook three calls in the first quarterbut kept clear of the fourth fo rthe rest of the game. Doug Pedenand Nick Turik had three person-als by the half. Peden escapedthe showers but Turik was not assuccessful .
