With those who know the in-fants best, it's girl babies threeto one.

Bearing out this statement,judges of the Daily Ubyssey's"Diaper Derby" Saturday nightawarded three of the fourprizes to female contenders ina contest to pick UBC's mostbeautiful baby.

At the same time a note of ironycrept into the picture with the an-nouncement that each of the threemale adjudicators, President N, A.M. MacKenzie, Professor S. N. F.Chant and Professor C. W. Toppinghad nominated girls for the first placespot while the only femminine of-ficial, Mary Pat Crowe chose a boy.a boy.BLONDE WINNER

Top honours in the affair werecarried off by a petite blonde con-testant, 23-month old Susan JoyThorneycroft. Accompanied by hersomewhat bewildered parents, Susanwas on hand at the "Diaper Dance"to receive the first place honours.

Toddling onto the bandstand, shegravely held hands with PresidentMacKenzie as he presented her withseveral prizes. Then, with a charmand poise that belied her years, thediminutive winner smiled betwitch-ingly to the audience as flash bulbsexploded around her.COOL AND COLLECTED

Susan's parents, Mr. and Mrs. SamK. Thorneycroft were almost besidethemselves with pride and embarras-ment but their daughter remainedcool and collected through out theproceedings. Thorneycroft is a thirdyear Mechanical Engineer.

The other three babies to receivespecial mention were not at the dancebut their pictures were flashed on ascreen and then the parents werecalled up to receive the prizes,

Second place was won by Eva MarieMcDougall,Mrs, Hughwards fromONLY BOYS

Mary Pat Crowe, 1948 Mardi GrasQueen, presented a gift to Mr. andMrs. Thiessen whose 'son Eric was theonly boy to place in the contest.

Fourth and last prize was given tothe parents of Carole Anne Griffithsby Professor Topping.

The four winners were among the211 contestants whose pictures wereconsidered in the contest to arouseinterest in a proposed day school atLittle Mountain Camp.NURSERY FUNDThe presentation took place duringan intermission at the 'Diaper Dance.'Proceeds from the evening netted$200 for the nursery fund,

At the beginning of the ceremonyPresident MacKenzie congratulatedthe Little Mountain Council for theirefforts and wished them every success

Resolution read, in part, "Whereasby the Canadian Citizenship Act . . .and . . . the United Nations Charter. . . Canada is committed . . . torespect the rights and fundamentalfreedoms of all without distinction asto race, sex, language, and religion. . .; we a group of 700 students . . .representative of the student body ofthe University of British Columbia. . . urge that our fellow Canadians,the British Columbia Japanese, begranted full rights of citizenship whichmust include enfranchisement andequal opportunity in all fields of em-polyment."

HIDEOUS DISEASEDr. G. G. Sedgewick, head of the

Department of English, told the meet-ing that the B.C. government's actionin prohibiting Japanese from workingon crown lands was "a symptom of ahideous disease—racial discrimination,"

In a calm, clear voice, he urged"moderation in dealing with the prob-lem."

"Let immoderate action come, as itwill from the other side. There areenough moderate arguments on ourside to prove our point," he said.

"During the war, when sabotagewas possible, the Japanese were allow-ed to work on Crown lands. Whynow, when there is no danger, shouldthey he prohibited?" he asked.

As evidence that public opinion canaffect government action on such mat-ters, Dr. Sedgewick cited the caseof three Japanese students who lastyear won scholarships to UBC andwere prohibited from coming here totake advantage of them.

"Our past action on the Japanese

"I regret that the political partywith which I am associated has notbeen true to democratic ideals," Lewisdeclared.

Hon. Gordon Wismer, K.C., B. C.Attorrey-General and Minister ofLabour, who was to have outlinedgovernment stand on the question,was unable to attend because of"pressure of public business."

Representatives of the StudentChristian Movement, the VarsityChristian Fellowship, and the New-man Club were unanimous in theiropinion that discrimination against theJapanese was "contrary to the brother-hood of man sought by Christ."

CRIMINAL ATTITUDEHarry Rankin, vice-president of the

Student Labor Progressive Party Clubtold the meeting "that those whourge racial discrimination should betreated as criminals and lunatics."

He also asked the meeting not toforget the other racial minorities,"Chinese, East Indians, native Indians,and Negoes, who are just as maltreatedas the Japanese."

National ContestFor 'Pretty Baby'Honors Proposed

Members of the UBC CanadianLegion think veterans here havethe prettiest babies in Canada,and they're willing to prove it.

Executive members of the legionchallenged all other universities inthe Dominion to a national "Beauti-ful Baby" contest Monday and saidthey were so confident of winningthat they would even suggest aboard of judges picked exclusively

from the east.Among the judges suggested

were Prime Minister MackenzieKing, a bachelor, John Bracken,M. J. Caldwell and other notables.

Harry Curran is the thirdcandidate to enter the race forAMS treasurer. His platforMis based on "impartiality" and"independence from all politi-cal parties."

Press WomenExtend InvitationTo Budding Writers

Canadian Women's PressClub has extended a specialinvitation to university stud-ents interested in writing toattend their award Presentationand Reception to be held thisyear in Vancouver.

Highlight of the evening will bethe presentation of the Club's awardfor writing excellence to Mrs. Marg-ret Ecker Francais, prominent Van-couver free-lance writer.

The surprise attack on council mem-bers who hold office for more thantwo terms came from Paul Plant,candidate for Alma Mater Societytreasurer, while all candidates forpresident and treasurer were on theplatform for last-minute election ap-peals.

Plant's demand for a "third tern"ban was aimed directly at his majoropponent in the council elections,Jerry Macdonald, for two years theLiterary and Scientific Executiverepresentative on council and now acandidate for treasurer.

NEW COUNCIL URGEDPlant told the sparse auditorium

audience that council members shouldno longer remain in office "simplybecause they like their job,"

He urged the election of "11 newcouncil members" every year.

With a completely new panel everyyear, he said, council would offermore "freedom of expression" andtraining in leadership.

'CONTINUITY' PLEAIn direct opposition to Plant's plea

for a "clean slate" on council isMacdonald's major plank—a call for"continuity" in the student legislature.

Macdonald was seconded by BobWilson, who told the election meetingthat only five councils in 32 yearshad failed to include members serv-ing second and third terms.

Wilson termed Macdonald "honest,hard-working and reliable" and citedhis long record of student activity on

the campus, a career that includestwo terms on council as president ofthe Literary and Scientific Executive.

MORE CONCERTS

Under Macdonald's regime, Wilsonsaid, the "artists series" concerts atUBC had been increased from threeto 12 a year, and five symphony con-certs had been arranged for the cam-pus.

With a dramatic entrance, law stu-dent Tom Fisher introduced candi-date Harry Curran Flourishing a12-page prepared script which he saidertolled the virtues of Curran, Fisherthrew it to the floor, declaring hewould be as Curran is "concise."

Curran told the meeting he wouldbring to the council "maturity, in-tegrity, experience and impartiality."He was backed by no political groupor campus faction, Curran said,

Two Ex-OfficersVie For PostOf President

Whichever way the variablepolitical winds may blow onWednesday, UBC students willfind themselves with a formerarmy lieutenant as studentpresident.

That's the one thing sure in theturbulent political campaign that willwind up at the polls when UBC stu-dents decide between one of two ex-army officers for president of theAlma Mater Society,

Polls will be open from 10 a.m. to4 p.m at several voting stationsthroughout the campus. At the sametime, students will choose a newtreasurer from among three canddiatesJerry Macdonald, Paul Plant andHarry Curran .

LAST MINUTE APPEALS

In the windup of presidential cam-paigning Monday, supporters of thetwo aspirants turned the UniversityMall into a racous, circus-like side-show. In the UBC auditorium, how-ever, the candidates presented a moresober note as they made last-minuteappeals for support.

A lengthy record of student ser-vice in councils of the CanadianLegion and Science faculty furnishedthe platform for former school teacherDave Brousson.

His seconder, Ralph Heune, toldstudents that Brousson had "keptclear of all political ties" and hadbeen instrumental in obtaining mar-ried quarters for student veteransat Acadia, Little Mountain and SeaIsland.

NFCUS WOULD LIVEBrousson pledged support to UBC's

"open house" in 1948 and promiseda program to bring the National Fed-eration of Canadian University Stu-dents "alive."

Brousson's adversary, Dave Wil-liams, also presented a platformplanked with a lengthy 'record ofdiverse student activity.

He is the holder to two tennischampionships, for three years a firstclass student, the organizer of radiodebates at UBC and orginator oftravelling debating teams to the U.S.

He was twice a McGoun Cup de-bater and at present sits on the execu-tive of the Literary and ScientificExecutivP, council for all campusclubs

Williams told students he wished tofoster "healthy and keen" competi-tion among university groups "butnot that competi oitnthat leads tobitterness,"

He would seek, he said, to "easethe friction between The Daily Ubys-sey and Student Council, since con-tinued friction between the two isan unhealthy sign."

Fifth Poll BoothEases Congestion

Congestion at the polls will be re-lieved in Wednesday's AMS electionsby the addition of a new polling sta-tion in the Armouries, Returning Of-ficer Bill McKay announced Monday.

Under the new system Law andCommerce Students will vote in theBrock, Aggies in the Agriculturefoyer, second, third and fourth yearArts in the Auditorium foyer, firstyear Arts and first and second yearsApplied Science in the Armories, andother years Science in the AppliedScience building.

Political and religious differences were replaced by har-mony and singlessness of purpose Saturday when a resolutiondemanding enfranchisement and full rights to employmentfor British Columbia Japanese passed unanimously at a massmeeting in the Auditorium of 700 UBC students representing12 campus organizations. problem," Dr. Sedgewick continued,

POSTCARDS TO MLA'sDECRY DISCRIMINATIONPrinted post cards, urging MLA's to "do all in their

power to rescind the recenty reintroduced law barring Jap-anese Canadians from working on Crown timber," are avail-able at the offices of The Daily Ubyssey, and the StudentChristian Movement,

The cards protest the legislation as a basic denial ofhuman rights contrary to the UN Charter.

All students are invited to call at the south basement ofBrock Hall and sign one of these postcards.

Today's meet will be held at 12:30,on the Arts Lawn if the weather isfine, Livingstone said. Should wea-ther conditions be poor the meetingwill take place in the Gym .

Affiliation of the National Feder-ation of Canadian University Studentswith IUS will be the main item ontoday's agenda. It was the subjectof a special AMS meeting on January23, but lack of time prevented a de-cision being reached.NO COMPLAINTS

Livingstone indicated Monday thatno complaints of lack of informationconcerning the question of affliationwould be considered legitimate .

"Student Council's resolution isbased entirely on reports of Canadianobservers at Prague," he said. ''Threeof them represented NFCUS therelast summer."PROVISIONAL

ASSISTANT EDITORS: Les Armour, Doug Murray-Allan

Decision of the Department of Lands inplace the question of Japanese on CrownLands in the hands of the Legislative Assem-bly is the only sweet note in a symphonyof governmental discords.

Seldom has any piece of governmentalprocedure aroused such a storm of contro-versy not only among the voters of BritishColumbia but throughout Canada. It ishoped that the MLAs will squash this hyra-headed piece of legislation before it becomesuncontrollable.

Divorcing the whole plan from its impli-cations of racial prejudice there still remainsthe difficulty of precedent. It takes butlittle imagination to see how much discrimin-atory procedure could be extended to includeany racial or religious minority a pressuregroup saw fit to persecute.

No one was more aware of the impli-cations of the bill than the students of UBC.They showed their determination to preventits enforcement in a dozen different waysand each time there was unanimity amongst

Test CasesIt is rather difficult to be a columnist on

a university newspaper. There's the matterof subject for instance. What are universitystudents interested in? Should an off-campustopic be sude. When the columnist has finallyanswered these questions and many otherslike them to his own satisfaction, he knowsthat whatever subject he does end-up with,he will not be able to do it justice.

Take this business about the ban on Jap-anese in the B.C. woods. Everyone has beentalking about Japanese for the past weekand there certainly are many things to besaid on the subject. Nice words like toleranceand brotherly love. Not so nice words likerace-discrimination and hate. The words arethere and waiting. Now all that has to beclone is that they be tied together in a logicalsequence.

SEARCH FOR LOGICBut something more than logic is re-

quired. The mere ability to string wordstogether in grammatically-correct appeals toreason is not enough. If it were, the need forthese words would not be evident. That iswhere the columnist's problem arises. Heknows as he gropes for ideas that he cannotsuccessfully appeal, for the elimination ofhate and race dicrimination on the basis ofreason and logic and so he must of necessityfigure out a way to twist words and make hisappeal to the emotions. It is a difficult taskbecause the man who feels that discriminationand hate of one's fellow citizens is wrong hasusually come to his conclusion as the resultof careful reasoning.

The logical answer to the accusation thatthe dirty Japs will work for less than a

white man' is that in most cases the Japaneseis working for a whiteman. It could be pointedout that many whites have worked for sweat-shop wages but that when they did, loud andviolent public reaction bettered their lot. Noone bothers to protest that the employer ispaying the Japanese low wages. Instead the`Dirty Jap' is damned because he accepts thewages because he must eat.

That is part of the logical answer.

GRIM REPLYWhen he gives this answer, the reason-

able man can expect a retort that goes some-thing like this: Would you want your sisterto marry a Jap?

At this point, because he is only human,the reasonable man would probably fumeslightly and reply, "Not while there are jack-

the political clubs, study groups and facultiesthat was a pleasure to see.

It is sometimes discouraging to note howimportant political questions come in for littleor no discussion amongst the general body ofstudents. They are relegated to considera-tion amongst a feW political clubs, tabled andforgotten. It is time students became moreinterested in pragmatic politics rather thanthe idealistic bantering of ideologies.

The Japanese question is as importantto British Columbians as the Negro difficultyis to the people of the southern States. If wecan solve it without the prejudice and blood-shed that has characterized negro legislationin the States we will have taken a great steptoward establishing better racial relations.

Forms are available in The Daily Ubys-sey office protesting the government's dis-crimination against Japanese lumber workers.Students are invited to fill them out and mailthem to their district MLAs. In this way wecan take an active part in erasing a blot fromB.C.'s political record.

asses like yourself around to make her lifemiserable."

After he regained his control he wouldpatiently explain that toleration is not synon-omous with marriage and that choice of mateis up to the individual.

Intermarriage, because it does not involvebread and butter, is a relatively minor pointat present and so it is skipped over lightly.The columnist goes on to deal with the moreserious plaint that the Japanese do thingsto well. They run their stores and their farmsso efficaciousy that white men cannot com-pete, it is said.

The defender of the minority, with sweetlogic and bitter irony, can only say that ofcourse some do just that. The reason, hemaintains, is that there are many Japaneseoperating corner grocery stores that wouldhave been doctors, or lawyers, or dentists,if they had been white. Because they werenot acceptable to the medical schools of thiscountry they are making a living as bestthey can. There are different levels of in-telligence in both white and yellow races.If the man of yellow color is held down be-cause of his color and as a result must com-pete with white men of a lower intellectuallevel than his own that is certainly not thefault , of the man who is yellow in color. Ifhe was granted an equal opportunity he wouldbe in his rightful place in society competingwith his equals.

REASONABLE CONCLUSION?

Those are the words all done-up in alogical pattern. I personally have used themon many occasions, used them in the sameorder. I felt that they were logical steppingstones to a reasonable conclusion. For thatreason I have set them down here.

Those who think as I do will read themand feel gratified that their own sentimentshave been given the added weight of havingappeared in print. They will nod their headsand say to themselves that that guy Wasser-man is not so dumb after all and they willgo on thinking the way they do.

And of those who disagreed.

How the feeling of inadequacy takes holdfor I know that it has been in vain. I knowthat nothing I have written will have changedtheir views one bit. I will always feel frus-trated because, perhaps, if I had more skillwith words I would have been able to appealto their emotion and, in that way, reach theorigins of their thoughts.

Candidate'sPlatforms

Candidates whose names will ap-pear on the AMS ballots tomor-row present here their nominationplatforms. Only those seeking theoffices of president and treasurerwill stand for election this week.

Here are their platforms:

For PresidentDavid Brousson

If elected to the presidency ofthe Alma Mater Society, I pledge:

1. Active furtherance of theGymnasium and Medical SchoolDrives.

2. Emphasis on student publicrelations to develop a province-wide understanding of our Uni-versity, and to foster an employerconsciousness of our graduates.

3. Active support to PresidentHarwood of NFCUS, to show lead-ership to the other Canadian Uni-versities, and to further the excel-lent aims of NFCUS. •

4. Further development of theUndergraduate Societies Commit-tee into a rival part of AMS ad-ministration, through leadership,co-operation, and motivation.

5. Encouragement of activitiessuch as the Joint Pep Board, tobuild a real "University of BritishColumbia" spirit.

6. Full publicity to all Councildiscussions and decisions.

7. The best and most efficientadministration I can give to theAlma Mater Society, free fromimpartialities and politics of everykind.

DAVE BROUSSON.• • *

David WilliamsCouncil must be the representa-

tive of all the diverse campus ac-tivities. By co-ordinating them, andby promoting strong student loyal-ty, Council, in the coming yearsof a declining enrolment mustwork for increased stature of UBC.

I promise full support to:1. Promoting co-operation be-

tween all faculties and easingfriction between Council and TheUbyssey.

2. Revitalization of USC and vi-talization of NFCUS.

business or otherwise, I could de-vote a maximum of time to theexacting job of the presidency.

For TreasurerPaul Plant

For the past year I have beenserving as treasurer of the Men'sAthletic Directorate. This organiz-ation controls it's own finances,apart from Student Council help.

My platform consists of severalpoints, namely:

1. Better disbursement of fundsfor student clubs.

2. Prevention of a candidatestanding for election for a thirdterm on the Student's' Council

3. Introduction of a freshmanassistant to the treasurer, in orderto supply capable candidates forfuture positions.

4. More efficient staging of theFall Ball. (Last year it lost moneyin spite of a full house.)

5. Action on the War MemorialGymnasium.

6. A new financial set-up forathletics.

SUN LIFE OF CANADA

Thumbing our noses at superstition,13 of us took off from an RCAF run-way at Sea Island Saturday for aone-hour cruise over a sizeable areaof the lower mainland. Aboard theplane were five air crewmen andeight wide-eyed passengers.

Six of the civilians were boys whomay don the blue uniform in a yearor two as Permanent, Non-Permanentor Reserve members of the RCAF.Photographer Neil Macdougall and Icompleted the passenger list.

'Birds Surprise Portland;Take Two From Pilots

Displaying the speed, fire, and accuracy of shooting that is characteristic of a first-ratebasketball club, the UBC Thunderbirds won both of their weekend games against the PortlandPilots, 64-54 Friday night and 55-47 Saturday.

A team that was reputed to be oneof the toughest to meet the Birds thisyear, the Pilots showed some excellentform at times. Though there wasnot a lot of height among the Portlandcrew, they seemed to make very gooduse of what height they did haveas the lanky colored boy, JacksonWinters, snared rebounds for thePilots.

FOOTBALL AGAINAmerican football has once again stepped into the campus

limelight, only this time it is the coach rather than the teamwhich is facing the audience. It seems that Greg Kabat's con-tract with the MAD expires this Spring, and the possibility ofthe contract being renewed is extremely remote.

It is not the purpose of this column to discuss the pros andcons of Kabat as a coach, or to be committed to either side ofthe controversy. It is the purpose of this column, however, tostir up a little controversy of its own. At the present moment,Kabat is receiving the sum of $800 per year in return for hisservices as head football coach on the campus. When this iscompared with the salary of even a Bellingham high-schoolcoach, the sum, to say the least, looks rather ridiculous.

The point we would like to make is simply this. Irregard-less of whether Kabat or some other coach handles the Birds,let us at least pay him a salary which is somewhere in line withhis services. American football can become the major sport onthe UBC campus, but only if we can pack the stadium for everygame; and before we can do this, it's necessary to have a sharpteam, and a sharp coach. Sure it means a gamble. If we raisethe salary of the coach, we are gambling that the receipts fromnext season's games can pay for the increase. In our opinion,we can and should pay the football coach a sum far larger thanthe measly $800 he is receiving at the present moment.

If worst came to worst, and the Administration could notsee fit to carry out such a step, then let us by all means with-draw from the American football setup. Let us admit that aschool of 9,000 students cannot, or will not, support a footballteam. Let us point to the College of Idaho, with a total enrol-ment of approximately 500, and say "They can, but we can't.Let us admit that we have no school spirit, and stick to playingtiddleywinks, or some other inexpensive sport. But by nomeans should we have the gumption to take a gamble and hirea coach at a decent salary — that's asking too much. Or is it?

How actually do you feel towards the situation? Shouldwe or should we not raise the salary of our football. each?

A TributeIt is about time that Bobby Haas, starting centre of ,,he

UBC Thunderbirds received a pat on the back for the branlof sportsmanship he has consistenty displayed on the basketbcourts. Haas is one of the cleanest players on the courts, andat the same time remains one of the leading sharpsters of theteam. When Jackson Winters, a colored player on the Portlandsquad, was banished from the floor on personals Friday night,Haas held up the game for a few minutes while he trotted )ve_.to the Pilots bench, and shook hands with the offending player.Such displays of sportsmanship and clean play are what makeor break a game with the fans, and Haas deserves only creditfor the high grade of sportsmanship he has shown — not onlyFriday night, but in every game in which he has played.
