ADDLEIIEADED SLOLE

Dear Sir :

This letter is written in general ,

to a certain class df alleged auto-

mobile drivers on the campus an d

in particular, to one unknown addle -

headed slole . It is only a gentle ad-

monishment, for if my true feeling s

were expressed, the letter would no t

be published .Necessarily, it seems, an institu-

tion the size of UBC must have i nattendance a certain percentage of

students who drive cars w i th no

regard for others, Now I would lik e

it to be clearly understood that thi s

letter is not directed to all of thes e

people . That is futile . It is not di-

rected for instance, against th e

mental cripples,who insist in attain-ing take-off speed within the park-

ing 'ot' ; nor is it directed against al l

of those, some of them attractive ,who with wild abandon, crumpl e

fenders in abortive efforts to park .This letter is directed solely to asmall group within the latter clas s

who, after having dented an dcrumbled to their satisfaction in th eabsence of the other car's owner ,are content to press on in search o fbigger, better cars to smash, andleaving no note of explanation i ntheir wake . If this group takes ex-ception to the preceding sentencepresuming intent and assert in de -fence that as they have been de-prived of ordinary skill and judge-ment and have no conception ofconsideration or manners, then Iwill consider a retraction of this ad -

monishment, I wish this group woul d

protest . I wish they would appoin tc : their spokesman, the goof wh ocreased my car door . That goof Iwould like to meet ,

Dear Sir :There have appeared in the Uby-

ssey this session, a series of ed-itorials which frequently exceededitorial license and which show ,

,by their rather ill-considered an dsometimes unfair opinions, a de -pressing unawareness of the un-pleasant effects they produce o n

the campus and elsewhere . The ed-itorials regarding the Martin caseand the problems of AMS financ e

bear witness to this view .In Tuesday's editorial "Contin-

uity can be Dangerous," the praise -worthy efforts of the Plant Com-mittee ("eight plain or dinar yguys") to provide effective stu-dent control of AMS finance, ar e

unconstructively mocked by th eopinion that the new finance boar d

will be but a group of all-power-ful wetchcicgs ("willing to hehosed to death for four years" )presided over by a `'lead-pip e

cinch" treastu'er . Surely this ed-itor could appreciate that contin-uity provides the vital experienc eal newly found Ins-requieite) fo r

the pull of treJsurer and as suc h

is not dangerous ,

I suggest that the form of 'con-tinuity' that is dangerous, is tha t

which continues to produce such

The technique can be divided into tw omethods; the brain versus brain method em-ployed against a highly skilled adversar ysuch as Nick Kogas, or the mass attack meth-od, such as was used at the Cab Calloway per-formance Friday.

Poor man's Milton, well aware that

crusts plucked from the ashcan of last week' s

news :

BROKEN BOTTLEA "tall, willowy" blonde last week broke

a bottle over the head of a 72-year-old Vic-toria woman, rifled her elderly victim of al lavailable cash, and left old age bleeding an ddazed by the roadside with a tiara of glass Inher white head .

Blonde, bottle-wielding footpad, apparent-ly, is unknown to Victoria Police .

Poor man's Milton, too close to old agohimself to let that go by without protest ,herewith offers hot tip to Victoria con-stabulary :

And if Victoria C .I .D. uncertain as tobest way to uncover positive indentification ,then let Victoria C .I .D. disguise itself e stipsy matelot, next day that naval eagl escreams, Victoria C,I,D, football helmet underfalse wig, runs excellent chance that tal lwillowy blonde will be waiting outside FIalf-way house in black two-door sedan and fain ttrace of Evening in Paris perfuming midnigh tair .

BARGAIN-BASEMENT BROWNINGFurther than that, bargain-basemen t

Browning is unprepared to go . Bargain-base-ment Browning, with crescent-shaped mol eon left shoulder, has no desire to be aroun dwhen Victoria C,I .D„ shaking off showe rof bottle glass, makes official pinch, andwillowy blonde begins to tell all she knows .

But Mildred ought to have more respec tfor old age .

Even more depressing than news of re-newed activity of Mildred, comes news o flocal professional lovers of proverbial under -dot

trainer, are currently making night hideouswith representation of modern, flea-ridde n

collective Lady Macbeth, wringing bloodyhands wildly and moaning : "out, out, damne d

spot" and groans of multitudinous seas in-

carnadined .

STRAY GLASS SLIVER S

Army & Navy Milton, absently probin gscalp for stray glass slivers, reflects that

perhaps blonde Mildred was not so bad afte rall, though afflicted by peculiar sense of fu nand mercenary outlook on life .

On further reflection, he feels that mis-

guided girl, also subject to secret control o fnewly-enthroned Beezlebub, at least make s

as much sense in direct drive for additiona l

stocking-money, as does campus CCF club ,doggedly picketing fellow-taxpayers federa l

A SEARCHLIGH T

Dear Sir :

Like the beam of a sweepin g

searchlight that illumines briefl y

the objects in its path, the press ha s

an inability to shed equal ligh t

upon significant developments i nthe world . Spain is one day in th enews, Czechoslovakia the next,Greece, France, India and Indones-ia follow .

Are we to dream that the be-all o rthe end-all exists in the state cur-rently highlighted ; are we to as-sume that the social struggle isdormant in Palestine because Chin ahas captured the headlines ; are weto be stampeded into emergencymoves that in themselves displa ytheir own futility ?

No democrat may, with anythin gbut sickness of heart, choose be-tween the equally detestable forcesin China . Or if he does, he mus tchoose the Communist side, becausehis understanding of Russia is notup to date.

Ther e was a time when Russi adid appear like the russet morn ,walking o'er the dew of the east -ward hill, bringing man freedo mfrom oppression of his fellow man ,bringing equality of opportunity t oall . There was a time when that Rus-sia sought an understanding wit hthe west, when it gave evidence o fits sincerity of belief in the Leagu eof Nations, when it seemed, with its1936 Constitution, trembling on thebrink of demoqracy ; but that tim eis gone, killed by the British Torie sin their tragic catenation of blund-ers that produced World War 11 ,and grim thought though it is, wemust recognize that the corpse i scold .

The tear has done dread thingsto Russia : made more absolute he rleaders, more authoritarian hercivil rule, and enormously fed theambitions of her rulers with themarvelous ability of her troops .

Our hope lies not in directly con-testing the power of Russia, nor o fabetting it, but in supporting dem-ocracy wherever a thin flame show sits presence, and it does not i nChina .

We should be pressing our gov-ernment to lend economic aid toIndia, to Germany, to France, an dwherever else thousands of valian tsouls are throwing their all into th estruggle .to make that. government srepesentative .

What if the cause of democracyin these countries lies in the hand sof the Socialists! The question ever yman must resolve within himself i swhether he wants democracy, o ra system guaranteeing to the fe wthe ownership of the means ofwealth production, We must over -come those rigid men in our ow nsociety who have dug their ditches ,and are preparing to die before themyth of free enterprise . . It is no ttheir death that worries, but th edeath of the rest of us,

Cliff Greer .

Dear Sir :I am amazed at the Studen t

Council's refusal to even considerthe designs submitted by architec-ture students for the new sign -board .

Believe me, if the beautiful an tnatural site of the university ca nsurvive the frightening aspect ofthe university 's permanent build-ings, it has nothing to fear froma modest well-proportioned bill -board, the advantages of whic h

are obvious,

Sincerely ,R. D. Francis, Arts 2

ORCHID S

Dear Sir :

I move a vote of congratulations !

Seldom does an individual hav e

the occasion to condemn a majority

in one breath and then, a few gasp s

later, lament the misfortune of tha t

same mob . However, at Tuesday ' sGeneral Meeting the opportunity t o

indulge in such a paradox was af-forded .

At the outset of the meeting onewas able to critically survey th e

weak attendance of the studen tltbdy, and then, at the conclusion ,pity the disinterested student, wh ocould not sacrifice a precious lunc hhour to heat' the Plant Report, Thi s

well-phrased, well-delivered in-quiry was obviously the end resul tof individual sacrifice and laboriou sresearch, coupled with a practica lsolution to the financial deficits o fprevious years . It was easy, to sa ythe least, worth hearing and shoul dhave been heard and recognizedby more students .

Tim merits of the resolutions con-tained in the repo r t are not thesubject of this letter . Congratula-tions are . Disinterest is a perennia lcomplaint with all organized ac-tivity on the campus . Despite thi sd i screpancy, acknowledgement of aMork well done demands no morethan a handshake or a clap or bette rstill—an & Morita,

As long as a union member casts a

ballot, unions will have to partici-

pate in politics.

Pat Conroy, secretary-treasurer o f

the Trades and Labor Council o f

Canada, told a meeting of the CC FClub that unions' support of the CC Fis only a transfer of ideas .

To the question of why the TLC i sin politics, Conroy said, " Unions havealways been in politics . The individua lunion can support . any party . "

"Business," he continued, "is of th eopinion that labor should suppor teconomic activity but keep out ofpolitics . This is impossible, "

Conroy stated that the election o fthe last Quebec government cost tw oand one half million dollars, "Some -one must support the younger part yn this rising cost of elections . "

Conroy feels that if the CC Fseciaiizes Canada, labor will be abl eto do a much better job in its field .

He also told the meeting that Cana-dian political machinery does not le tthe population take an actual part inthe choosing of candidates ,

Colony On Campus

Trip by 17 UBC students

Saturday has resulted in th e

establishment of another inter-

national fraternity on the cam -

pus ,

Members of Lambda Chi local fra-ternity journeyed to Seattle and theUniversity of Washington to be in-itiated into the international Lambd aChi Alpha . Alpha Psi Zeta were hostsfor the occasion supplying accomoda-tion for the visitors and providingthe degree team for the ceremony .

Lambda Chi Alpha was founded a tBoston University in 1909 and has 123installed chapters, five awaiting in-stallation, two being revived andeight colonies, and is the largest fra-ternity by virtue of its functioninggroups .

UBC group will have the status of acolony until installation as a chapte rin the fall of next year . The 17 menwho have been initiated into the in-ternational will be members of AlphaPsi Zeta, U of W, until the loca lchapter is formed ,

THE VEIN proves rich, a shaft is sunk, and a

new mining town springs into life. The main

street takes form. Commercial buildings rise.

When such a development occurs, the service s

of a bank are needed — to handle payrolls, to

keep savings accounts and, as the town grows ,

to furnish bank credit for the needs of the

community.

This is a basic pattern in Canada's develop-

ment. And part of it is the local bank manager,

providing those financial services which help

Canadian men and women to win the reward s

of modern enterprise and modern living .

temporary design . If anyone findsthem too "futuristic," (which the yare not, by any stretch of the im-agination) then the fault is hi sown for living so far in the past ,architecturally at least, that thepresent is still future in his eyes ,

As to the editorial inference sthat the billboard' would neces-sarily be "crass " and "yankee " orthat UBC 's progressive and intel-ligent Department of Architectur ewould even consider designing on ein collegiate gothic, these are i nthemselves sufficiently distortedand humorous as to require nocomment .

In view of this aforementionedshortage of interest, the writer i sobliged, although out of order, to

second his own motion of congrat-ulations to Paul Plant and his com-mittee for a "probe" which no tonly erased the suspicion of mis-appropriation of funds from tw ogentlemen but also reinstated thegood fame of UBC throughout Can-ada .

They also showe d

that certain re-

marks made here

a few weeks ag o

were substantiall y

true despite some

varied and unfor-tunate interpreta-

tions of the com-

ments .

In a nutshell the remarks were

as follows (a) the present 'Bird s

have a lot of latent talent (b)

they are mostly young and inex-perienced and (c) will need a lo t

of careful coaching to develop ,

Over the weekend the studen t

Gagers lived up to all of these class-

ifications. Their latent talent i s

becoming more and more obviou s

all the time as they develo p

their sea legs but there is still a

fair amount of ground to cove r

yet .

OH SO GENTLESpecial credit is due to 'Bird

mentor Jack Pomfret for the care-

ful and systematic way in whic h

he is bringing out the best in hi s

charges .Physical fitness is the keynot e

to the Pomfret program and he

makes sure that everybody con-

cerned realizes its importance .

Ever since the first 'Bird prac-tice calesthenics, heretofore un-

known on local maples hav e

played a big role in the training

set up .

Push-ups, rope skipping, mede-

cine balls and just plain runnin g

have been the daily diet of hi s

charges and the method in the

supposed madness came to ligh t

when the 'Birds outhustled thei r

opponents in both weekend con -

tests .

and ball handling, the 'Birds wereable to cover up their faults b y

running the slower opposition into

the floor .

PLAYER YARD AC EAnother smart idea of Pomfret' s

is the way in which he has bee ncapitalizing on the yardage of his

players . His newly formed "tal l

team " boasts an averagg height o f6 ' 3 1-4 " and with one of the mem-

bers, Ried Mitchell, standing a

mere 5' 10", it makes the rest o f

them pretty big .

There is an old cliche amon g

basketball players "that you don' t

have to be tall to play the gam ebut it sure helps a lot," and that' s

just about how It is going to work

out for the skyscraper line . Theyshould always have the jump' o n

their opponents, literally and fig-

uratively .

The other Thunderbird line i smade up chiefly of smaller an d

faster cagers, among them th e

three mighty mites who are play-ing senior ball for the first time .

Pomfret is making certain tha t

these neophytes are getting plent yof playing time in pre-conference

tilts so that when the big test

comes and league play gets unde rway they will be ready for it ,

DEFENCE THEORYFor both of these lines the 'Bird

mentor has a specialized theory of

defense which he is teaching them .

The taller, faster cagers immedi-

ately fall back to their own terri-tory after losing the ball, depend-

ing on their height and reach t o

put up an impassable wall , Thesmaller, speedier players work on

the principle that the best defense

is an attack and concentrate onworrying the opposition all of theway down the floor .

Cage enthusiasts, who at the be -ginning of the year looked into th ehoop future with foreboding, now

have the assurance that the abl ebut undeveloped 'Birds are in goo dhands and, under the capable tut-elage of Pomfret will soon b eplaying the best ball that is i nthem .

SCANT MINUTE S

In the Friday night tilt the 'Birds

were well down with scant minute s

to go . Then, thanks to a field goal an d

a gift toss, made good, it was a tied

up ball game .

Then lanky forward, Nev Munroe ,

made the all-important basket in th e

'last half minute of play that gave the

'Birds their win .

Saturday night's fracas saw the

'Birds leading by a 48-45 score after

Art Phillips scored for the 'Birds .

When Duane Magee took two point s

for the Falcons, and then Harry Pric e

was awarded a foul shot which woul d

have tied up the game, the 'Bird fan s

wer e all but out of their seats .

But despite the fact that Price' s

free throw average or the night wa s

very good, he missed the all-import-

ant shot and the 'Birds took posses-

sion on a neatly executed stall play

and held on to their one point lea d

right down to the wire ,

NEW STAR

Ried Mitchell fireballed his wa y

through both of the games for th e

'Birds and was up to his usual to p

form of hoop style . But there ap-

pears another star in the offing fo r

the 'Birds this year in the person of

Long John Forsyth .

In both games of the Falcon-'Bird

series over the weekend, the tall

centre picked off a sensational seven -

teen points for the 'Birds .Long hours of practice on his dunk

shot and careful coaching from th ementor, Jack Pomfret, paid off in

She showing that Forsyth made over

the weekend, There seems to he n o

doubt how big a part he will play i nthe forthcoming 'Bird games,

The new additions to the team

certainly put all they had into thegame whenever they hit' the floor ,

even though they seemed to get a

little too excited at times to bothe rwith the rudementary fundamental sof the game of basketball ,

Jack Pomfret must have somespecial medicine he feeds tohis Thunderbird hoopsters be-tween halves to sharpen uptheir shooting .

Both the Friday night win of 52-50

and the Saturday night victory of

X 48-47 saw the 'Birds get off to a poor

start in the first half . It seemed tha t

they could not quite get the bal l

through the basket in these period s

but only managed to rim it constant-

ly .

Ample proof of the strength o fTnunderbird hockey stars was see n

this week when eight team members

were selected to represent Vancouve rin an all-star contest against Leth-
