our weeVancouver now has four daily newspapers with the pub-

lication this year of The Daily Ubyssey .

Previously published on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-

days, this year's student newspaper will appear four times eac h

week, Tuesday through Friday, on the University of

Columbia campus.

THREE IN CANADA

This brings to three the number of

Canadian universities with a daily

student organ . The others are McGill

and the University of Toronto, win-

ner, last year of the Bracken Trophy

emblematic of the best college news-

paper in Canada .

Four issuse per week Is classed

as "daily" by university standards.

An edition on Mondays is considere d

impractical because it would neces-

sitate work on Sundays because of

the samll number of students in at-

tendance on that day.

"A daily newspaper is necessary to

keep pace with the activities of an

enlarged student body," declared Don

Ferguson, editor-in-chief of the Pub-

lications Board when he announced

the new program .

Started as a monthly in 1916 Th e

Ubyssey went bi-weekly in 1930 .

Fourteen years later the paper expand -

ed to a tri-weekly basis with a n

editorial annuoncing that the move

"is first step toward the establish-

ment of a daily paper" .

It's True

It's true .

The signature across the top of this page reads "The Daily

Ubyssey", and it's true .

On Saturday afternoons more than three decades ago the

founders of the original "Ubicee"'—mimeographed and tacked

to notice boards once weekly—used to push back their type-

writers, put their feet up on the desk, and joke about UBC

someday having a daily student newspaper.

Well it's here .

you are too .

We of the Publications Board are proud of it and we hop e

TRIUMPH blazes in the eyes of these students as they gain the

covetted position at first in line at the Registrar's office queue .

For many of the 8000 who fought the crowds to complete their

registration during the ten-day period this meant as much as

a five-hour wait .

Postwar 'Bubble'

opsjn Slack Year

The UBC postwar boom is over.

After three hectic years of jampacked lecture rooms and

skyrocketing registration, student numbers at the universit y

have hit the skids .

Registrar Charles B. Wood announced Monday there wer e

now 8,150 students at UBC. Last year at this time there were

8300 .

Next year, M. Wood predicted,UBC will begin the expected postwarnosedive as veterans who have swel-

led classes to all-time records, collec t

caps and gowns,

PROCEbURE REVISED

This year's version of The Ubyssey

will be run on the sand. basis as a

regular daily newspaper with th e

operating procedure revised accord-

ingly . Facilities of The Standard

Publishing Company, which print s

the paper, have also been increasedthe handle the extra work ,

Position of managing editor, newl y

created in order to reduce the work

of the editor-in-chief, has ben filledby Laurie Dyer, last year's sport' seditor . Individual editions will be i nthe hands of Joan Grimmett, Val

Sears, Hal Pinchin and Jack Wasser-man .

The new program and the close con -

tact maintained by The Ubyssey wit h

other Vancouver papers will give any

student interested in journalism a

sound training on the Publication s

Board, Editor Ferguson pointed out .

Dirty Eleven

Spend Summe r

CleaningWhile the majority of the eigh t

thousand UBC students were

busy following the birds to Vic-

toria this summer, members of

the new Alma Mater Society

Students Council were busyscrubbing window ledges in pre-

paration for their return this fall .

During the meetings held ever y

third we ek plans were discusse d

for reorganization of the AMS

offices. Following details of a

report prepared during the sum -

mer by George Masters, office

manager at the Vancouver Gen-

eral Hospital, enlarging of th e

staff from three to five member s

has been undertaken .

Changes have also been madein the arrangement of the officelay out .

,Excavation behind Brock Hall

has begun as a result of th eCouncil's planning for extensio nof the AMS offices and clu brooms .

Plans were also made to con-tinue the campaign for funds fo rthe War Memorial Gymnasium.

NOTICEAll students—freshmen and up-perclassmen—who are considerin gthe Student Publications Board as

their choice of campus activitythis year will be cordially wel-

comed at an introductory gather-

ing to be held in the Brock Hal lstage room, 12 :30 Wednesday.

UNDERWAY MONDA Y

The new scheme which got under -

way Monday morning brings specia l

streetcars from the Oak street termin-

us and from Sixteenth and Main to

the campus .

The schedule for the special stu-

dent cars has not yet been announce d

and the cars do not bear any dis-tinctive marking .

One car will run north down Oa k

and six will run across Broadway .

SURVEY RESULTS

Meanwhile results of the transport-ation survey taken during registra-

tion are being tabulated and when

complete will serve as a basis or

proceeding further with the schedule d

improvements, Dewar said .

The B. C . Motor Transportation ,

operators of Pacific Stage Lines, dis-

close, however, that the planned, and

previously announced, direct throug h

service between the UBC campus and

New Westminster has been tempor-

arily postponed .

NO THROUGH BUS

The company conducted a surve y

there earlier this summer, gainin gresponse from 130 students, but when

the price and timetable was an-

nounced only twenty student com-

muters signified their intention to

STUDENT DRIVERS

Dewar suggested earlier that stu-

dent drivers be employed in an ef-

fort to reduce the price .

The two remaining bus lines—fromForty-first and from Alma— are no wunder consideration by the company .

The information compiled from th e

forms filled hi during registratio nwill be used in these negotiations.

STUDENT APATHY

Dewar condemned student apathy ,

complaining that "the success of th e

poll was marred to some extent, be -

cause of the fact that many studentsdid not take the two minutes neces-

sary to complete the form, "

He urged all students who did no t

file the form at the time of registration

to do so before the end of the weekat the AMS office .

The special number 15 street car on

Oak street will leave the Marpole

terminus daily at 7 :17 and will arriveat Tenth and Sasamat by 8 a,m ,

The line is designed to accomodatestudent veterans living at LittleMountain Camp .

NOTIC E

All students who have ap-pointments for their medical

examinations on the after -

noon of Monday, September29, please report to theHealth Service Office, HutA2, immediately .

Late registration may boost thefigure for '47-'48 by several hundred ,but indications on the campus Mon-

day were that UBC's (frantic, circus-

like postwar "bubble" had finall ybroken ,

9,035 LAST YEAR

Total registration for last year, a

record which may not be equalled

at the university for years, stood a t

9035, after all straggling late regist-

rants had been tabulated .

"We expected registration to be

about this figure," the Registrar said.

"The peak has been reached, and o f

course there will be even fewer stu-

dents next year . "

An invasion df 5000 ex-servicemento the campus however, has set a newrecord for veterans on the campus ,officials of the Department of Veter-

an's Affairs declared .

Although student numbers wereslightly lower than last fall, those

who had been through the all-da yline ups of previous years werethankful for a faster, more efficien tsystem put into use this year by theuniversity administration .

PARTTIME JOBS

As students struggled with housin g

and financial difficulties at th e

launching of the new term, Maj . JohnMcLean veterans' councellor for the

university, announced that 250 part

time jobs had been found through

the ex-servicemen's bureau.

About 200 men and 50 women wil lbe able to add to their budget withjobs ranging from baby sitting to truckdriving, he said.

Permanent registration numbers ,assigned to each student this year,would speed up registration procedur ein future years, Mr. Wood predicted ,eliminating the snaking line-ups thattrailed over the campus earlier thismonth .

Book Exchange

Breaks Record

The Campus Book Exchange hassold more books in one week this fal lthan during all of last year .

So said book exchange managerDon Russell Monday as long spa-

ghetti-like lines of students strungout from the improvised book storein the UBC Armouries.

A surplus of texts, especially thosefor first year, still remain on th eshelves, he said, although commerc eand engineering books are in shor tsupply .

A student wishing any other tha nfirst year books must fill out an or ..

der form and wait his turn to hav eit filled which usually takes a day o rtwo, Russell said .

Profits made through the sale ofbooks will be donated to the Inter -

national Student Service after op-

erating expenses of the Exchange arededucted .

Texts left for sale will be returne d

to their owners if not sold by the

time the Exchange closes at the en d

of October ,

Situated in the southwest corner ofthe Armouries, the Exchange is ope nfrom 9 to 3 pm on weekdays and

from 9 to 1 pm on Saturdays .

Now or Never

for '41 Totem

All students holding receipts on

the 1946-47 TOTEM must present

them at the AMS office before

Tuesday, September 30 in order to

receive their copy of the year-book .

At that date a public declaration

of invalidity will be published and

receipts will no longer be honored.

If any students have lost their

receipts (the little blue cards pre-

sented at the time of sale last

September) they are advised to

call at the AMS office and have

an adjustment made . '

Any TOTEMS remaining afterSeptember 30 will be sold at the

standard rate o $3.50.

Since many students are anxious

to secure copies, a waiting list has

been prepared and students wish-

ing copies should have their name

included immediately.

Frosh Name

New Prexy

A precedent was set at the Uni-

versity last Friday when the Freshclass elected a slate of officers tocarry do as Freshmean representa-

tives, In the past, these electionshave often been delayed until Nov-ember .

Peter Murphy, a seventeen-year -old graduate of Vancouver Collegewas elected president of the Freshclass . The vice-president is to beWalter Sinclair and Phyllis Tobi nwas named secretary . The sports re -presentative will be Dave MacFar-lane .

While at V .C., Murphy sat on Coun-

cil as president of the 1946-47 ses-

sion, and intends to take just asactive a part here on the campus. Heis very interested in student govern-ment .

It is very probable that Murph y

will see that the Fresh class is well

represented in atheletics for he him-

self is interested in basketball andbaseball .

One of the first duties of the newl yelected' president will he to arrang ethe Fresh party coming tip nextTuesday . He will also have a seat o n

Cairn Ceremony

To Honor Trek

An honored university traditionwill be recalled once again whe nthe annual Cairn Ceremony takesplace today at 12 :30 pm on the mainMall ,

The ceremony holds special signi-ficance for freshman as it was thefreshman class of 1922 who initiatedthe trek .

President Norman A . M. Mac-kenzie, Grant Livingstone and Jo-

seph F Brown, who was chairma nof the publicity committee in the or-

igial trek, will address the gather-ing .

The ceremony is held every yearto commemorate the trek of 1922when students then at the Fairvie whuts marched out to Point Grey tolay stones for the campaign for itnew university campus.

Probably one of the main reasons that s ofew freshmen ever see very much of theLibrary during the first week of the fal lsession is the fact that the Lily Pond is soclose to the great stone structure . To go un-necessarly close would be to invite trouble ,or such is the rumour.

For say what you will, Fresh Orientatio nis upon us again and the perennial week o finitiation will very probably go on as it ha sin the past . Naturally, ideas on freshmanhazing have changed a great deal on th ecampus during the last few years . No longe rshould it be necessary ' tp remind student sthat harm can be done if some care is no ttaken in this great demonstration of welcome .

The fact that hazing has been put in thebooks as a "must not" shows that in the-pas tsomething has gone wrong . There will alwaysbe those who object simply on the groundsthat the whole thing is very childish . It would

Tradition has it that a columnist, for hi sFirst Effort of the Year, explains the why sand wherefores of his conduct and what hestands for . "This column will always standfoursquare against : cancer, the double stan-dard," etc ., to quote from Les Bewley of lastyear. This column stands for nothing, includ-ing Anarchy .

Nevertheless, tradition also has it that theFirst Effort should fill as much space a spossible. So I 'll take this opportunity to pas son some comments about a picture currentlyplaying a downtown theatre .

"Carnegie Hall " is one of these experi-mental works that Hollywood turns to puttingout now and then . As soon as it is released o nthe market, everyone holds his breath for awhile until "Variety" has found out justhow much money the picture is losing o rmakng across the country .

ERIMENT BE DAMNE D

Actually there is nothing very experi-mental about "Carnegie Hall", except tha tit has dared to give the public over an hour o falmost uninterrupted classical music .

Much of the risk has been taken out o fthe enterprise by the introduction of a plot ,however small . In this case the plot, a wisp ofa thing that threads its way through Beeth-oven and Wagner, is nevertheless quite alarge concession to the box-office. For with-out it, how could Hollywood encourage thelaymen to come into the theatres to get aneducation in good music ?

This patronizing attitude by businessmenwhose musical knowledge and appreciatio nends with Clair de Lune and the NutcrackerSuite is the factor that keeps Hollywoodand England decorating their period piece swith classical music .

seem that something is wrong about freshma nhazing .

At the same time, there appears to b esome great traditional force that rolls on yearafter year to make the freshman's initiationto college an unforgettable one . Somehow,year after year, freshmen find themselvesshining an upperclassma n's shoes, sitting onthe fountain in the Quad, singing songs toattentive ears, reciting poems from Caf table sand .many other little things that might b eclassed as quite mortifying and hard on th eprestige .

Actually, hazing isn't as prevalent or a stough on the UBC campus as it has been inother places . Undoubtedly, there will besome. Probably the best thing for the fresh -man to do is to remember that the "Week o fWelcome" is only so long .

And then again, your turn will come nex tyear—let us pray .

"FULL MOON AND EMPTY ARMS "

As an example, Rachmaninoff's secondpiano concerto has been used as backgroundmusic for at least a half-dozen films, both inHolywood and in England . . This piece o fmusic is a successor, of course, to the highl yhonored positions held recently by concertosof Greig and Tschaikowsky .

Anyhow, you get the idea . Hollywoodproducers, ever on the alert for raising thecultural standards of society, are doing u squite a favour .

The plot, incedentally, in "Carnege Hall" ,concerns the story of a young lad with atalent for playing the piano and a mother wh ois very anxous to see her son turn into an -other Iturbi . The son, after years of diligentlystudying Bach and Chopin, decides that "thi smodem stuff has got something—it's POP-ULAR" and runs away from home to joinVaughn Monroe's band as a pianist .

THE PRODIGY SON

Years later, of course, he returns, thecomposer of a very successful jazz rhapsodywhich he himself plays in Carnegie Hall .

The moral of the story is (a) Mother isa bitch, but a forgiving one, and (b) Theonly serious composing being done today isin the jazz idiom.

And so we have Carnegie Hall . The high-brows will hate the music for being trite an dbanal, the lowbrows will hate the story be -cause it is weak and the music because thereis too much of it, and the Women 's CultureSociety of Upper

-Fairville will just love it

because there 's all that good MUSIC in it ,my dear.

Meanwhile, only Variety can tell us i f"Carnegie Hall " is grossing millions . And inthe meantime, there is always Danny Kaye .Always.

Freedom Of CourtStressed By Farri s

The degree of freedom of the courtsas a true reflection of the degree ofdemocracy of a nation was stressed

by Chief Justice Wendell B . Farri s

when he addressed the opening classof the first year Law students Monday .

This fifth freedom and its protectionby the Habeas Corpus Act are indica-tive of the predominant position in so-

ciety of the law, the courts to enforceit and the officials to present it, he said .

Mr . Justice Farris commended the 170men and nine women on their choic eof the legal profession, adding thatstudy at law is the most excellentfoundation for business and politica llife . He expressed the hope that fin-ancial gain is not paramount in theminds of the students, saying that i twould probably come as a monumentto attention to the fundamental prin-ciples of the law,

Letter To The Edito rDear Sir :

It has been obvious from thecomments overheard in the reg-istration lines that students at -tending the University of BritishColumbia are more interested i nensuring late morning lecture sthan in taking courses whic hwill be of value to them .

The oft-heard remark, "I reall ywant to take Psychology 707 but i twas at 8 .30" or "I guess I will have

to take Math 666 because it fit sin with my time table" show atragic disregard for the purpose sof higher education .

It would seem to me that som eperson who has the qualificationsshould make an effort to pu tthese misguided individuals o nthe right track . Whether theypay their own way or the gov-ernment is supplying the cash i tis certainly a waste of money andtime, if "students" persist in thi sattitude .

Maybe this situation is a re-sult of the mass production edu-cation that is being doled out at

most universities these days.

If such is the case, I, for one,would mpch rather see a longe rperiod of registration in orde rthat there be a greater opportu-nity for personal consultation

with the Deans of the variousfaculties . No matter how odiou sthis suggestion may appear, afterthe "battle of the Armories "something on this order must be

done .

Otherwise, one can only sug-gest that the university enlargeits staff of stenographers and go

into the business of mail-order

diplomas .

Yours for an education instead

of a mild anesthetic .

He ignored his father's modest am -bition to have him become an engi-neer and at an early age took tojournalism, via the chalk-and-back-fence school . Upon graduation hejoined the staff of the "Pub" beingrelegated to the position of genera lreporter . His Pub' career, accordin gto Perry, was distinguished by hisfrequent brawls with his editor-in -t Jn summer vacation work forCanadian Press in 1938, he scored asensational beat when the CPR pier"D" fire broke out.

sued its annual list of do's and taboo sto be carefully observed and abidedby while the newly arrived are bein gamused, confused and abused duringtheir six days of initiation .

And most of the regulations, many

of them traditional carry-overs fromlast year's festivities, are in regards

to dress.'FROSH CUTS '

Styled to look like so many left-overs from a Sinatra fan club, boththe guys and the gals are wearinggreen bow ties. But right there th e

Frankie-fan resemblence ends, for th e

latest edition of Joe College is sport -

ing—not a silly, rumpled thatched of

hair—but a "Frosh-cut", which i s

apparently a brush-cut just long en-ough for the frustrated freshman t o

grasp and tear out during the more

depressing parts of Frosh week .

Joe's feminine counterpart is als o

accentuating the tonsorial . Her coif-fure consists of three pin-curls dang -

UBC Overcrowdin gNow On Way Out

In the not too dim and distant future students at the Uni-vversity will not be plagued by crowded lecture huts, insufficien tlibrary space and overtaxed labs .

At least, not if the Provincial Gov-ernment, the Board of Governors ,

and the army of construction work-

ers, plumbers, electricians, and car-penters now on the campus have

their way . The only obstacles ar e

rising costs of lumber, materials and

increased wages.

Construction now under way and

that about to start will cost around

$4 million.

ORIENTATION STARSJABEZ, CLUBS, CAIR N

UBC 's 1300 green-clad freshmen will be wined and dine d

with a program that began at 9 a .m. in the auditorium Friday ,

when the Frosh heard an address by Dr. N. A. M. MacKenzie ,

president of the university.Following Dr. MacKenzie's speech ,

representatives of UNTD, COTC ,

Alumni Association and Legion ad -

dressed the assembled Frosh .

The new X100,000 Physics buildi ,will be completed this year . Labour

shortages and construction costs hav e

delayed completion but the building

is in partial use and the unfinishe d

rooms will be completed this ses-

sion .

The new building is expected to

be one of Canada's leading nuclear

physics research centres. Construc-

tion has not yet begun on the Va n

der Graaf generator, funds for which

came from the National Researc h

Council. The generator will take a

little over a year to build and when

it is completed plans call for con-struction to begin on a linear accel-

lerator .

There are no windows in the mai n

lecture rooms which are soundproo f

and air-conditioned .

Present indications show that theNational Research Council has a linterest in the University which wil lcontinue for some time .

The power house is undergoing a

$332,000 expansion and will be finished

in January .

Out by the barns a $50,000 Agri -culture Pavilion . was completed inApril . The Pavilion combines th efeatures of a motion picture theatre ,class room, stock ring, cold storagewarehouse, and butcher shop . It willbe used both for classes and judging exhibits .

An important fur-bearing animallab was officially opened less than twoweeks ago. Although it may look lik eit, The Ubyssey has been assure dthat the building is not a converte r

army hut but was built separatel yof new materials . The final cost of th eequipment will be about twice th ecost of the building.

Research into the diseases an d

nutrition of fur-bea:~ ing animals wil tbe carried on here . Thirty mink hav ateen deflated as starting stock for

experimentation .

Still in the Agriculture Depart-ment, the government has calle d

tenders for construction of an Agr i

cultural Engineering and Mechanic s

Building to cost about $50,000 .

Construction of the Arplied Scienc eBuilding was started this year . 'I' hbuilding, to ne four stories high wil lhe partly finished in time for thewill aot be ready as the original a lallocation of $750,000 was found inad-equate due to increased buildin g

costs . The foundations, west of the

power house, are well under way .

The noise in the usually peacefu llibrary is caused by constructio nworkers busily engaged in adding anorth wing to the building. The ad-

dition, costing $775,000, will be en-tirely completed in one year . The ne wspace will be used for gneral study ,stacks, and carrels as well as other

facilities. The outside will be finish-ed off with stonework in harmon y

with surrounding buildings .

The Board of Governors is consid-

ering starting work on a building to

house Biological Sciences and Phar-macy. The plans are complete but

tenders have not yet been called a s

high construction costs have raised

the price of building over the origin -

al $600,000 allotted .

Emergency accommodation include s132 standard huts and one air forc e

hangar in use as a Physical Education

field house . The huts are being util-

ised as offices, storerooms, and lunch

counters as well as lecture rooms and

23 labs.

It takes several feet of the skiers delight—snow—to enable

the campus skiers to take to their "planks" , but even now at the

first of the new term, the active skiers have laid their plans for

the forthcoming gala season.

Off hand, it looks as though the

coming season will see severa l

hundred U .B.C. skiers out tryin g

for positions on the widely known

competitive ski team. Under UBCSki Coach Peter Vajda, a vast pro -

NEW WESTMINSTER, B .C .

Of course, one of the majorevents of the coming season will

be the Western Canadian Inter -

collegiate Championships held at

Banff with the U13C team defendin gchampions .

For the first time in severalyears, Banff will hold the spotligh tfor the 1948 Dominion ski champion -

ships. Again in these individual

events, UBC stars will shine .Backed by last years Western Can-adian champion, Garvin Robinson,

it is expected that similar titles wil lagain fall to our Point Grey Halls

of Learning .

Actually, last years team mem-bers are in far better shape than th eaverage competitor . When skiing

finished for the season last April ,

26 members of the team journeye d

up to Garibaldi Park for a one

month skiing holiday.

Even if this wasn't enough skiing

for one year, several members tookoff late in June to compete in the

Mt . Hood downhill event which was

a killer from the word "go".

A drop of 4000 feet in two miles

taxed all the skill and daring of theplanksters Even against AmericanOlympic stars, Gar Robinson, Arni eTeasdale and several others cam e

within the winning ten .Yes sir, its going to be a big ski-

ing year on the Campus and let shope the stuff—snow that is— fall sfreely .

season will be held in the stadium(south end) today at noon .

All former players are asked to at -tend and a special invitation is of-fered to all new players. The firstproctise will be staged on Wednesdayat 2 .30 p .m. on the upper field .

New HangarsGraces Campu s

Newest addition to the sport sequipment of the University of Brit-ish Columbia, is a recently purchasedaiarplane hangar, Located behin dthe Brock Hall, this hangar will hel pto alleviate the strain now beingplaced on the present gymnasium.

The Hangar was brought in fro mTophino on the west side of Vancou-ver Island, and assembled at its pres-ent site .

The inside of the hangar is line dfor a total of 10 courts for differen tsports. Included are two regulationBasketball courts, three volleyballcourts, 2 tennis courts, and three bad-minton courts .

The floor is all asphalt except fora small part at one end which is leftjust as it was found, dirt. This willbe useful for indoor track events .

At the other end of the hangar therewill be a golf practice range set up.There will be room for nine golfers t otry out their cuts slices, and hooks.

A WELCOME TO THE FROS HKlahowya, freshies! With a pleased rumble the might y

Thunderbird spreads wide its ruffled wings and nods its beak i n

approval . By no wmost of your student officialdom has tossed

you the welcome mat, but with well-worn whisk your humbl e

scribe dusts the carpet anew and beckons you all to the shadow s

under the eye of the Totem, the symbol of the spirit of UB C

With Totie your sports editor says "Welcome, fresh! "

Well, you 've reached the campus,—you 're on the mall .

Operators all, you're now big-time "collitch" joes and gals . Oh,—

not quite! There 's yet the test, the time-honored ritual of th e

university: the week of initiation . It's a week of fun, a wee k

of mock servility before your intelectual masters (Yak, Yak) .

It's your week: you 're in the spotlight . The sophs envy your

innocence (from the sublime to the ridiculous) . The upper-class

(women) envy your fresh youth B(crac!) Butthis week yo u

must envy our suavity and poise, our mundane experience. So ,

show deference and respect, freshies, or its the brush and the

lily pond for you.

That's Not For MeWith those famous last words your scribe casts down the

whip. Ah, yes, like the cagey matador he will stand gracefull y

aside and watch the brawl from afar . Time is precious, and the

Chief (how that man Dyer loves Battery) has "urged " me to

use the fleeting seconds to give you a brief picture of the athleti c

setup on the campus.

Space must confine us to a preliminary outline of the inter -

collegiate sports arena. UBC, the Dominion 's youngest univers-

ity, has of late adopted the most aggressive sports program.of

any college in Canada, with the possible exception of the

University of Western Ontario at London .

We'll confine our comments on that southern Ontari o

institution to a brief remark about its inauguration of th e

athletic scholarship . Western is the first (and still the only )

university above the border to take the big step, and you r

reporter has viewed conclusive evidence the past year, testify-

ing its its success . The Western Mustangs have dominated th e

Eatern Collegiate Union (McGill, Queens, Toronto, Western )

for the past two years, especially in football, basketball and

track.

A NORTH—SOUTH AXIS

For reasons with which your scribe will deal in some later

effort, the athletic scholarship is not a feasible policy at Poin t

Grey at the present time . However, Varsity took an equall y

pioneering move two years ago when she became the first o f

Canada's "centres of higher learning" to join an American 1Conference .

In 1945 UBC pulled out of the faltering Western Inter -

collegiate circuit after taking a financial hosing in the Hard y

Cup series, and accepted a bid to become a member of th e

Pacific Northwest Coast Conference.

The PNCC was a league consisting of, privately endowed

colleges stretching through Washington, Oregon, and Idaho .

Admission was sought by both parties . The Americans ap-preciated the prestige the conference would reap by incudin gamong its membership the second largest Canadian university ,

while, on the other hand, the senate and faculty of UBC lookedwith favor upon one of the most stringent clauses in the con-

ference code : no athletic scholarships .

Grin And Bear I tAlthough the athletic moguls on the campus could not bu t

feel embarassed at the enrolment figures which gave UBC agreater overall student body than those of the other college s

combined ,they saw the PNCC as a step in the right direction

towards their ultimate goal : participation in the Pacific Coas t

Conference .Complications will appear, however, if this further move is

ever broached seriously, for it will seem impracticable to enter ;such terrific competition without the fortification of the athleti cscholarship and its BBT (books, board, tuition) sanction withwhich to secure or keep our stellar athletes .

History In The MakingWell, fresh, that's the drill . Since we started our conferenc e

escapade two years ago we've won two titles . In 1946 theThunderbird, basketball boys swept through their conferenc eschedule absorbing only one loss to cop the pennant bauble .And this spring the Blue and Gold thinclads romped to thei rfirst conference track title at Portand Oregon, where theydethroned the perenial title-holders, the Whitman College Mis-sionaries, who had dominated the PNCC cinder paths for th epast 20-odd years .

And Now The CommercialBefore your reporter signs off and rubs the slate clean, h e

wishes to submit the annual plug for the sports page .As the official recorder of every athletic event on the

campus worth print, the "sheet" acts as an indispensible orga nin your student life . Most of our experienced staff has left us fo rforeign pastures, and your scribe is left with but one or tw oregulars. There are three Associate editorships still open, an dplenty of advancement awaits the keen sports reporter .

If you want to meet people, if you want lots of laughs, anda useful student career, come down to the pub offices on th enorth side of the Brock and see the boys at the "desk" . Sure ,there's a little work to it, but it's an extra-curricular activityyou ' ll enjoy .
