like it have a little more lush vegi-tation in the summer time becaus e

will deal with every -

thing from the Indian question to low

cost housing according to rumor s

emanating from the pre-election cau-

cuses.

The CCF party by Cliff Greer will

probably call for a housing scheme ,

a health and welfare Act, a labor cod e

and a program of education grants .

Their long range program, it is said ,

will be based on the Regina Manifest o

of 1933 which calls for a "planned

and socialized economy in which our

natural resources Ind the principal

means of production are owned, con-trolled and operated by the people" .

INFORMED SOURCES

Informed sources say that the LPP

headed by Gordon Martin will ask

the electorate to support a program

of world disarmament and control of

atomic energy, and a Domestic policy

of low cost housing, social security ,

and a higher old age pension . A likely

slogan for the party is "Peace, Pro-

gress and Socialism" .

Sources close to the Liberal party

state that Liberal policy will be chiefl y

concerned with freight rates, Indianaffairs, National health and welfare ,immigration and labor. Party leader-ship will be in the hands of BobDodd, when the politicians go to thepeople.

John Cowan will lead the Pro-gressive Conservative party when i tstrives to attain a majority in Thurs-day's elections . Main planks of th eP. C. platform include maintenanceof world peace and a domestic policyof increased immigration and popu-lation. To carry out these policie sthey intend to support United Nations ,advocate arms reduction and cam-paign for the extension of the franchiseit is said.

For Ex-Service Men and Women - Students - and

sentative, Mr. H, Perley-Martin, will be on duty Thurs -

day and Friday each week, 12 to 1 :30 p.m., in the rear

of the Legion Canteen .

There has seldom been a more worthwhilecampaign than the one being waged now by

the Pre-Medical Undergraduate Society andthe Canadian Legion to have a medical facult y

established on the campus this year .

Everyone seems to be agreed that it is desir-able for British Columbia to train its own

doctors, that there is a shortage of doctors i n

the province, that there is a shortage of hospita laccommodation, and that great consideration

should be given to the hundreds of students ,

especially the veterans, who are preparing

themselves to take medical courses in the hop%

that some school will soon open its doors to

them.All those things being accepted, then can

it not be said that it would be ridiculous if

the government and the university admini-stration could not get together in some way

to effect a beginning on a first class medical

faculty to be established on the UBC campus.

If there is not a firm resolve to start a first -rate school, then it would be better to forge t

the whole issue, because any make-shift ar-rangement would only have to be correcte din future years at great cost. And those whowould establish the faculty on the universitysite have almost as strong a case in tha tregard .

The other proposed site most often men-tioned is that of the Vancouver Genera lHospital, even though medical education ex-perts called in to review the situation hav ealready pointed out that that hospital is alreadyinadequate for existing purposes, let alon eadding a medical school, and that it is to o

large for efficiency. Those in opposition to theGeneral site point out with substantial justi-fication that the ideal plan is to establish themedical school at UBC in co-operation wit hthe other faculties, on a site where there i ssufficient and highly desirable space for th econstruction of combined teaching, research ,and hospital accomodation as a health centr efor the people of all the province .

The experts who made the survey last fall ,including some of the foremost authorities o nmedical education alive today, estimated that

the minimum capital expenditure for a firstclass faculty of medicine would be two million

dollars for the school itself and four million

for a teaching hospital . Their estimate ofannual operating expenditure was set at tfour

hundred thousand dollars, exclusive of anypossible deficit for the hospital . Despite that ,the government of this province has not see nfit to increase its orginal offer to the university

of one and half millions for capital expenditureand one hundred thousand for operatingexpenses .

In the face of this situation, the Pre -Medical Undergraduate Society has made thereasonable plea that although the medicalschool should be started under those term sthere should be a commitment from the gov-ernment to pledge the additional necessar ymoney to be expended over a period of yearsantil the desired facilities are provided .

The Ubyssey supports this plea and urgesthe government and university administratio nto get the medical faculty established thi syear .

FREEDOM,

It is possibleFREEDOM

that the intro-duction of thispolicy of greater

freedom for the pupil - the rightand need to think for himself - intoall other fields of education mightbe quite as rewarding as it has beenin the art class . The emphasis hasbeen far too much on the authorityof the teacher - on the moulding ofthe child to a prescribed formula -rather than upon the encouragementof the pupil to develop his own per-sonality from within - with the teacherin the role of a guide and assistant .

This early training whereby th e

child is forced to a passive acceptanc e

of the teacher's word is the wors t

possible preparation for citizens of a

democracy - if the governors are t o

be looked on by the people as littlefathers, to be obeyed to the grave,then such an educational system isthe perfect answer - but if the aimis toward any true form of democ-racy, the child must learn early tothink for himself . And only theteacher is in the position to bringabout in the students this independen tself development .

emphasis has beenplaced on theimportance of an

Letters To The EditorMarsh RepliesDear Sirs :

May I make two very brief com-ments on Mr. J. V. MacDonald's state-ments to the UBC Pharmacy Societyas reported in the newspapers onThursday .

(1) Mr. MacDonald alleges tha thealth insurance is "Russian", "Bol-

shevistic", etc—whatever these termsmean . If any philosophy has inspir-ed the organization of health insur-ance, . it is essentially liberal, an ddemocratic, as the best develope dexample — the British — abundantl y

shows „Incidentally, Mr. MacDonald does

not seem to be aware that stat emedicine—which, properly defined ,means a system under which most

doctors, (like teachers in Canada to -day) are employed directly by th estate—is not advocated in my Re -port,

(2) Does Mr. MacDonald believethat only doctors should fram ehealth insurance legislation? (It i snot at all char whet he does mettl eMedical services, and of course4cknsd . tl : ibility and disease, in -volve 1 i,iia

Significant AttitudeDear Sir :

The failure of the ISS Drive onthe Campus reflects a signdfcant at-titude of mind among the studentbody. For here has been demon-strated in the well-understood lan-guage of dollars and cents the ga pthat separates the culture of NorthAmerica and that of Asia and Eur-ope. It would be impossible to ex-plain to a student from either ofthese continents the contrast betwee nthe paucity of the contributions andthe ostentatious displays of extrava-gance to be seen at any Universit ysocial function . In a country so com-paratively wealthy as Canada th einability of the university student sto see beyond the limits of pecuniaryself-interest in the fore of hurna nsuffering and need reflects upon th ecountry as a whole. For if the sup-posedly enlightened and educate dsection of the community have s olitho in common with their Asia nend European counterpm is • little hop e(en he held out for any measure o f

standing be tween less - prici -Icpcd peoples• little hope indeed fo''any concept of One World . The fi-gures released in Saturday's Ubysseymust stand to the shame of the Uni-

versity .

Robinson Ski sIn Eastern Meet

By JACK LEGGATT

Judging from Eastern Reports ,

UBC's Garvin Robinson is not doing

any too well on the Laurentian sk i

slopes, but when the combined re-sults are tabulated, it is hoped he

will have placed in the running ,

On Mt . St. Anne, where the Domin-ions were held last Thursday to

Sunday, the courses and snow con-ditions are entirely different fro m

Coast skiing and, owing to the fac t

that Gar arrived at the last minute

for the downhill, sit is understood

why he failed to place among the

winners.Ftu•ther details of his activitie s

are lacking from the East but it i s

hoped the results will be availablethis week.

Dozens of entries have been flood-ing into the Vancouver Sun's office

from UBC for the annual internation-al ski tournament which will be hel d

on Grouse Mountain this Sunda y

starting at 11 a .m.This tournament, which will se e

the entire proceeds being donated

to the Olympic Ski Fund, will fea-ture a giant slalom race, the cours e

of which is being set by UBC coac h

Peter Vajda, and a jumping tourna-ment

An added interest for the UBC sk iteam will be a seven man aggrega-lion from the Royal Roads Nav yAcademy, Victoria, who plan to ente rboth events .

Following this week's tourney, onMarch 16th when the intramura l

PNW Loop Rac eTied Three Ways

If you took a furtive peek at th e

Pacific Northwest basketball confer-

ence standings lately, you probably

thought you were seeing things. And

you were, brother, you were.

UBC Thunderbirds, who have been

so hot and cold this year that the

referees have had to carry a ther-

mometer instead of whistles, have

tallied themselves a loop record o f

wins and losses which bears more

than a coincidental similarity to those

of Linfield and College of Puget

Sound,

HAVE EIGHT WINS

All three teams have a total of eightwins to show for their season's ef-forts. And all three teams have a

black - mall( on four losses in thedebit side of their books .

Thus it is that the College of Idaho

these Portland guys! "It is true that last weekend, they

were anything but hot, but although

the 'Birds looked good Friday nigh twhen they dropped a 49-41 decisionto the Pilots, hundreds of hooplafans will tell you that they saw theWorkers of Oz play ball like theyhaven't played all year when theydefeated the Portland lads in theSaturday fracas .

And the final 56-49 score was jus tabout indicative of the way the gamewent . The Pilots opened the scoringSaturday night but the lead see-sawe dback and forth until the score read11-all . That proved to be the "go"sign as far as the 'Birdmen were con•cerned .

Playing a very fast brand of ball thatfeatured close checking, beautiful bal lhandling, short neat passes, and som esweet shooting, the 'B'irds worked th eball around and took advantage ofevery break. They completely be -fuddled the highly touted Portlandsquad for nearly fifteen minutes afte rwhich the whiz-kids left the floorclutching a 30-15 bulge.PORTLAND RETURNS

Portland came back with a venge-ance in the second half and althoughHarry Kermode opened the scoring,Portland was the team from thereon for a full eleven minutes beforethe 'Birds could get back on the bit.With nine minutes left, the Pilots ha dclosed the 'Birds' margin to a meretwo points as the score read 35-33 .

Settling down again, Kermode andForsythe sank gift shots and then NevMunro came through with a honey .From then on, it was tit for tat withthe 'Birds getting a little the betterof the bargain as they continued theirsmooth play of the first half .

The game ended at 58.49 with bothteams still going hard . This first winover the Portland quintet in throestarts this year found the 'Birds attheir best. Harry Keeniode was highfor the local squad notching 13 mark-ers for his night's efforts. For thevisitors, a long lanky hoopeter by thename of Ford came through with awell earned 16 points,SCOTT LOOKS GOOD

Although he only got eight points ,Mary Scott, playing guard for thevisitors, turned in a performance thatmarked him as one of the smartestguards local fans have seen for awhile, He also showed some abilityat discussing the odd decision of thegentlemen with the whistles .

Of the second string 'Birdmen, DaveCampbell looked pretty fair out thereas he hustled continually.

In the Friday night fracas, the 'Birdsthrew up a zone defence that verynearly worked perfectly against thePortland team .

The game was fairly close in thefirst half as the 'Birds left the floorat the breather under a 23-19 margin .

After the half, the Portland crewstarted working and built up a lea dthat kept them safe for the night .Weber and Haas with 11 and 9 werehigh for the Students while BobBeveric k15 for the visitors .

Victoria Trip Off

ForUBC Swimmers

Sad news has come to the mem-bers of the Varsity Swimming Club

as it was announced yesterday tha t

the team would not be making the

trip to Victoria on March 7 when

other Varsity teams invade the Is-

land Capital,

The news came from Archie Mc -

Kinnon, coach of the Victoria YMCA ,that they found it necessary to cal l

the meet off. However there will

still be plenty of men to represen t

the University when the teams make

the trip .

Although there won't be any hoop

teams going over, two rugger teams

will be away, one to play in th eMcKechnie tilt, and another secon ddivision team which will probabl ymeet Vic College .

SOCCER TOOThe Varsity soccer team will go

along to meet the Victoria Westswho are at present leading theSenior League. That contest will tak eplace at Athletic Park . There is alsoa possibiliy that the UBC team ma yalso go.

The men's grass hockey team willalso be following the 'Birds to Vic-toria to meet a Vic team in anothe rexhibition match .

Just to make the whole matter asure-fire success, the Varsity major-ettes will be very much in evidence .Alhough it may not be a full scal einvasion, Victoria residents will un-doubtedly know that UBC is in town .

Scrum half John Wheeler set up th enext scoring play as he flipped theleather to Nesbit who in turn, le tMacDonald pack the ball over th eline .

Victoria lost their star fullback latein the second half when veteran playe rTorn McKeachie was taken off witha bioken collar bone. Speedy wing-man of the Birds, Ray Grant, wastaken off by Coach Haines to eventhe sides .

Daryl Popham made the only scor efor the visitors when he dropped apenalty kick over the bar to make th epoints 13-3.

MACDONALD SCORES

MacDonald soon put these pointsinto the background by crashing overfor another try, making the finalscore 16 .3 .

Notable among the starry Birds ,who are hoping to travel to Californiain two weeks are many names . Seniorman of the team George Biddle whoappeared slightly ragged in the open-ing half got full controll in the secondframe and treated the fans, who prac-tically filled the grandstand, to severa lspectacular bursts of speed.

Russ • Latham threatened the thinred line with several fast end runs.Captain Barry Morris showed up wellin the scrum as did heavyman Scot tKerr. Doug Reid was instrumental inkeeping the heat on the Islanders un-til late in the game when he wasshaken up and knocked into touch.

A light rain which started early inthe afternoon curtailed half time cere-monies but many fans heard the gamebroadcast over the CBC .

A celebration banquet was heldafter the game and the party latercontinued at a dance on the northshore .

Sport moguls are expecting anothervictory when Birds invade BrocktonPoint Oval on Saturday for the fourthgame of the McKechnie aeries,

The fifth and last game for theBirds will be played in Victoria ,March 8, and will be the feature at -traction of the invasion of UBC teamsthat is currently being planned .
