Time For Some Change' B(FIFTH EDITORIAL )

Criticism of the stand taken by the Ubyssey on the questio n

of financial assistance for athletes has come from numerou ssources on the campus.

The Ubyssey wishes it made very clear at this point tha twe are not advocating that the administers of such a fund rang efar and wide in Canada, seeking a herd of out-sized Neandertha lapes to uphold the honor and integrity of UBC. It is far from th eintentions of the Ubyssey to advocate anything of this nature .

Numerous Vancouver businessmen, to make an analogy ,have cried tha recent exodus of Canada's best brains to the

_United States . Whether we realize it or not, our best athletesare heading south too, lured there by the promise of pai dfees, board, and a job that pays $75 for 50 hours work per week .

The Ubyssey is not advocating that such an extensive schemeas this be put into action at this or any time .

The Ubyssey's intentions are, that the athletes chosen woul dbe Vancouver players who would otherwise leave Canada fo rthe U.S. These athletes would have their fees paid according t othe academic standing attained by them . Surely these athlete swho are willing to be pummelled and beaten for the old schooltie are deserving of some remuneration .

Ubyssey editors, with sore pants from sitting on the fenc efor so long on the question, feel that the remuneration shouldbe in the form of concrete financial aid .

Without this system, the editors forsee no sign of improve dathletics on the campus, particularly in the football field ,

So far in this series, the Ubyssey has been largely showin gwhere the weaknesses in the present athletic scup lie . This doesnot necessarily mean that we haven't got a constructive pla nto put this system into operation .

But that's another story — a story which we will beginafter Christmas exams and holidays are over .

In his letter to President Miller ,the ex-editor said, "The task of direc-ting a campus newspaper has been

over-burdened this year solely b ecause there are no students who ar eversed in the technical aspects o f

newspaper production . This . . . is a

lack of foresight . . . of the last fou r

About a month ago, the USC mad eseveral recommendations with re- we can look forward to similarly fac-gard to the Ubyssey which we feel tual presentation of contentious issues

in the future .7 . Only one suggestion remains, an d

this is probably one you didn't hea rabout, or rejected for some reason sof your own ; we suggest that a larg eposter, bearing such words as :

"Got some news for us ?Here's how to present it best :

1. Come in between 11 :3 0and 1:30 on the day before pub-lication .

2. Have it typed out beforeyou arrive if possible .

3. See the editor for the day .4. If he 's not there, dro p

your news in the box whic hyou will find etc . etc . "

will drastically reduce the numbe rof news )nix-ups that occur . If youwish, we' ll make up a poster if youwill type out the appropriate text andhang the poster up in some visibl eposition in the Pub. After it ' s made.

Lastly, we should like to thank yo ufor your most encouraging editoria l"USC comes into its own, " and for thecooperation and support we have re-ceived from you individually, Ou r

few weeks have shown a marked im-provement of the Ubyssey in this re -port . Without mentioning the out-come, we feel that the MAD questionwas admirably handled, and only hop e

scholasticloge .

For your information, Mr. Editor ,we might point out that St . Martin' sCollege contains an excellent facul-ty which is performing the task al -lotted to it .

The purpose of . a university or col-lege, as you well know, is to bringcut the best morally, intellectuall yand physically in the individual, no tthe mere attainment of so many cred-its for a degree. St . Martin's, fro ma physical aspect, is certainly no t"jerkwater," nor do we believe it in-tellectually to fall under the samevague generalization . After all, the 'teaching staff of St . Martin's, who areBenedictine Monks, are not noted fo rtheir deficiency in scholarship, no rhave they been so from the foundin gof their order in the fifth century .

In conclusion, may we ask that al lwho are unfamiliar with St. Martin's ,visit it and thereby taste of its "jerk-waterness," Again may we state oursupport of a programme for an im-provement in the athletic status o fUBC teams but we certainly disapprov eof such disparaging remarks without 'adequate qualification .

Yours Sincerely ,Paul Kitos ,President, Newman

A Year or ProsperityThe year 19 .19 has been a monumenta l

one in many ways for UBC students,

Every organization on the campus has

felt the icy hand of austerity for the pas t

year and yet it has not curtailed the cultura l

or athletic activity of any one group . Stu-

dents have borne up well under the load o f

debt passed on by other years .

Even more significant has been the con -

tribution that Student Council of the pas tyear has made to the university, Seldom ha sUBC been privileged to have more astute an dwell-guided administration than in the pas t12 months .

Not only has the debt been eliminated

this year, but a start has been made on th e

War Memorial Gymnasium, the cause of th e

debt. Soon UBC 's memorial to B . C . 's war

dead will be a reality on University Boulevard .

One of the greatest contributions stu-

dents have made to world unity was okayin g

a S1 fee raise to provide foreign student s

with scholarships to UBC . No one will deny

that this was a concrete step in the cementin g

of Canadian-European relations .

The editors of the Ubyssey take this

opportunity, its last in 1949, to extend t o

students, administration and even Walt Ewinge very Merry Christmas and a Happy Ne wYear .

OF Exams And FinancesMany students are about to find them -

selves in financial difficulties owing to th e

lateness of Christmas exams . Exams, this

year, do not end until December 20—onl y

four days before Christmas .

Fe Christmas employment is largely concen-

trated in the pre-Christmas period. Employers

are reluctant to hire students for four days .'The post-office, for instance, insists that stu-

dents seeking employment be able to reportfor work Monday, December 19—a require-

ment impossible for a large portion of stu-dents who are forced to write exams on the20th .

The administration feels that the univer -

sity year is already too short and therefor e

could not be shortened to allow students a

longer Christmas vacation . In past years,

however, it has been found possible to en d

the session in time to allow student a full

week of work .

There are undoubtedly circumstances

which led the administration to extend the

period this year—but the reasons are of littl e

help to students forced to pay fees on Janu-

ary 1 .

Perhaps the administration could permi t

students in financial difficulties to delay fe e

payment until February 1, thereby givin gthem a chance to raise the money .

Egos may rise to infinite height sfor the well-dressed woman, bu ta voguish clothes hanger will not ,we fear, find enough confidencefrom an over-stuffed wardrobe t osail through the exams . A well -padded book and smart neat ac-cessories of notes are of more ad -vantage at such a time.

The followers of fashion maga-zines an sadly neglecting thes eBibles of faddishness for the dulle rbut more advantageous volumes ofMilton and such. However a hap-pier note will be reached on th e20th and feminine minds will agai nturn to the lines of Dame Fashion .

Christmas costumes are dear t othe minds of women . It is a timewhen a woman can wear the ex-tremes and really get away with it .Suits are all very well and defin-itely handy, but cocktail dressesand formals are now in their ele-ment ,

Rumor has it the plunging neck -line has had its clay . The ccrsu sof (Tiniest here in the Pub run salong rather diverging lines .

Many Coeds Thumb; I

Luckier Than Boys

TORONTO—(CUP)—Are girls sue- I

cessful as hitch-hikers? This question

arose some time ago, so we decided I

to ask some of the coeds and a few of

the boys, their opinions on girl hitch -

hikers .

LONDON, ONT.,—(CUP)—.Decemb-

ber 1st—Western U . students are dis-

pleased at the shortness of the forth -

coming Christmas holidays which wil l

I only be of eleven days duration com-

i pared to fifteen days last year .

Most opposition to the shorter lay-

ll off from studies comes from student

( whose homes are elsewhere tha nLondon or Ontario in general ,

Students as a whole appear to wan ta shorter summer recess rather than 'a token holiday at the main festive ;

season .

Cne Saskatchewan freshman i sbrooding over the fact that out of th eeleven days he will only be able tospend five clays at home having to '

waste six days on board train travel -

ling to and from his home .

Another factor which governs th echange is the clays on which bot hChristmas and New Years' fall . Stu-

dcnt :, however, \ till have to grin an dbeat' it because they will definitel y

only have eleven clays at Christmas .

•DONE YOUR CHRISTMAS

SHOPPING,

The coeds are enthusiastic about thi s

business and go at it with vim, vigou r

and vitality . Many, including a lo t

of Fizz Edders, come to school tha t

way in the morning, while man y

others hitch-hiked around Canad a

and Europe during the past summer .

The boys admitted that, given th e

choice of picking up a male or te -

male passenger, they would invari-ably pick the gals, so you coeds are .all set . Some morning, when ti pai rof you are running late for that 'nine o'clock cats, try thumbing a riche .If you have es much success es w eunde<sIand you are supposed to have ,we are willing to bet that you'll soon 'become tat old hand at it .

Like an over stuffed chesterfield, "Blac k

'Magic," currently playing in Vancouver, is a

monumental cinematic triumph of 'sheer quan-tity over quality .

With his eyes rolling like steel ball s

in a pin ball machine, Orson Welles as the

famed 18th Century Charlatan Cagliastr o

(real name : Joseph Bersalmo) moves through

the lush court of the decadent Louis XV I

and Marie Antoinette . With Marie by his

side, Welles finishes off the picture with a

grunting duel on a tower high atop the pal -

ace .

This aborted` story, taken from the nove l

Memoirs of a Physician by Alexander Dumas ,

was filmed entirely in _Italy at a tremendou s

cost . If you •like spectacle and sheer weigh t

of set and costume, don't miss this one .

As usual, Hollywood takes the book and

twists it to its own ends . Cagliastro was act-ually a medical quack, who roamed throug h

Europe selling fake medicines, including th e

elixir of life . He ended up in a prison afte r

implication in the famed diamond necklac e

affair during the reign of Mare Antoinette .

In this picture Cagliastro is chiefly a

hynotist who, with a wave of the hand, man -ages to spellbind half of Europe . The pro-ducers even manage to work Mesmer, th e

original hypnotist, into the script, In th eend, he helps to break the story up .

No actress, but very pretty to look at ,

is Nancy Guild, who takes the part of a nAustrian girl implicated in the overthrow o f

the French throne . It seems she is an exac tdouble for the queen end the conspiratom

plan to use her for their own ends . AkimTamiroff, as Cagliastro's assistant, obviously j

relishes his character role .

The transplantation of Howard Duff ,

who appears on radio as Sam Spade, to th e

motion. picture doesn't seem to have bene-fited his standing as an actor, Aside fro m

the fact that you'll find out what Sam Spadereally loohty like, "Illegal Entry," Duff' ssecond semi-documentary film, is hardly wort h

the price of admission .

With the aid of Marta Toren and Georg eBrent, Duff manages to bust it wide open .Most improbable bit of the film involves afight between Duff and a gunman at aMexican Landing strip . After being pummel -led in the face and having his head smashe dagainst the landing strip Duff walks non-chalantly back to the aircraft, after knockingout the gunman, without a scratch on him .

Since This Corner won't be back unti lafter Christmas, it might be wise now tonominate the pictures which seem likely t oget Academy awards in 1949 .

Two pictures stand out as likely winners ."Snake Pit," which starred Olivia De Havil-land rates high on the list and seems likel yto cop honors for its realism . Some scenes ,notably those in a mental institution packabout as much punch as it 's possible to get .

Another show that This Corner enjoye dwas Red River, which introduced Mont-gomery Clift to move audiences, This pictur emanages to instil the feeling of wide openl)OC,'s into the outhenrC' as no other has .

Uhyssey editors are confused .Headlined the Fencepost, "Gateway Editors Resign, "In a front page letter to University of Alberta Student s

Council, editors said they did not have enough staff to pro-duce their twice-weekly paper .

Later the same week, the Gateway hit the streets again ,this time four pages of it filled with cuts showing the anual alumni reunion .

"Monel," an alloy composed of%s Nickel and % Copper, is today in general use for washing machine tubs, and for washers and othe requipment in modern laundries . Being rust-proof and corrosion resistant, it eliminates trouble fro mstains and verdigris . Its hard, glass-smooth surface removes all danger of injury even to the mos tdelicate fabrics .

Husky Tactics Unknown But UB CCoach Stressing Rebound Work

"Five straight" is the aim o f

the UBC Thunderbird hoopteam when they tangle withthe University of Washingto nHuskies this Saturday night a t

.And judging from the last tw o

workouts of the 'Birds, they ar epressing pretty hard to make that ai m

UBC's basketballing Chiefs

were plowed under 61-36 by

the league-leading Clover Lea f

sharpshooters in a Senior A

hoop contest at the UBC gym

Wednesday night .

Loss dropped Chiefs into a three -

way', third-place tie with Artie Pola r

Bears and YMCA . Each team has fou r

points .

Although the loss was decisive it wa sa tough one since Chiefs battled har d

all the way . Nothing Chiefs trie d

was enough to stem the raging CloverLeaf tide which has already sweptits way through six successive wins .

Biggest gun on the hard-fightin g

UBC squad was sophomore Bill Rap-

tis, scoring nine points .

When the Chiefs take to the cour t

tonight against New Westminst e

Luckies they ' ll be out to break u .that three-way tie . Luckies, who have
