American StudentsMust Conform Wit hGovt . Regulations

American students at UBC are not

recognized as tourists and since th egovernment regards them as tempor-ary residents, they are included i n

provincial road regulations . This is the

crux of the matter involving UBC

Yankees and the provincial police .

Most American regulations state i n

text that temporary residents are ex-empt from obtaining new license plate s

for periods ranging from 90 days t o

6 months .

The American Consulate here in

Vancouver feels that "students . . .

temporarily residing in Canada should

naturally be expected to obey Cana-dian laws . "

Dominion Government regulation scovering such a situation allow a non-

resident to bring a car into Canada

for 6 months without obtaining new

plates provided that they obtain a

proper permit at the border .At the end of six months, the owne r

The v

Q ' students were treated to one of th efittest displays of emotional rabble rousing

in , the history of university political speeches ,Wednesday,

Mr. John Diefenbaker, Progressive Con-servative member for Lake Centre, Saskatche-vVli; sounding like a very bad fundamental-

ii a frenzy over the salvation of his flock,gift►' the Liberal government a thoroughl y

liglitful tongue lashing which added up to

aim* nothing .

Displaying his full bag of ancient tricks ,

he called forth all the old phrases abou t"orders in council every seven minutes" and"top heavy bureaycracies . "

Not tine word, however, was said aboutthe obvious fact that, without orders in coun-cil, the wait business' of a complex govern -

MOM could never be handled and the eve n

lest year 'when they elected their treasure r

by acclamation — a precedent which we hop ewill not be repeated this year .

TheTbyssey pointed out at the tim eTreasurer Walt Ewing was elected that hi sslim mandate might, in the long run, resultIn slim government, Although such has no tbeen the case this year, as is evidenced bytwin 's able handling of the AMS budget, theding: slim government is no less immin-itt.

' Elections by acclamation are dangerou sbecause they show that students are not tak-ing!a healthy interest in the election of theirstudent government. When students are so

A well-known magazine is currently fea-turing a provoking article entitled, "TheFlying Saucers Are Real!" The author be -

lieves that the earth has been under sur-veillance for several years by visitors fromanother planet — a rather disturbing thought .

We' take you to a point some threehundred miles beyond our globe, where ahuge metal disc is whirling along at a prodi-glotls rate .

Etaoin Shrdlu, Commander of Space-Dis cNo. 5, surveyed the teletron screen withsomething more than his usual lack ofemotion. A teletrophoto from one of the rovingremote-control sub-discs had just revealed

ah unmistakeable atomic explosion in Are a18X47 .2A, and Shrdlu 's fourteen protrudingayes emitted showers of red-hot carbon, usign of mild interest .

Shrdlu, in spite of his unenthusiasti cdemeanour, was the most able space-man onthe planet Popsikl, a small world in the Oute rGalaxy far beyond the range of the earth' scrude telescopes. But life on Popsikl wasdoomed, as dirt, the staple diet of the , in-habitants, was fast being consumed ,and ther ewas no doubt that a few more generation sof Popsiklites would eat up the last vestige sof their soil, leaving nothing whatsoever tomaintain life on the planet.

It was for this reason that Shrdul ha dbeen selected by the All-Wise to ventur eforth into the Inner Galaxy in search of anearth-bearing planet as a future colony fo rfamished Popsiklites .

"Go, Etaoin Shrdlu," said the All-Wis egently, "and if you find the Promised Land ,I will confer upon you the title of Silt o fthe Earth . Mud in your eye!" He pronouncedthe classic farewell ,

"Mud in yourn," replied Shrdlu, andrattled and clanked off to his spaceship, hi stwenty-two metal feet almost skipping wit hpride .

And so, into the infinite went Shrdlu ,his armada of remote-controlled sub-disc sand cigar-shaped maintenance ships stringin gout behind his master-disc in glittering array .

Twelve years later, he arrived at OrbG-9, the Earth, and the abundance of dir tor. that planet, as shown by a preliminar ysub-disc survey, left him incredulous. His

more obvious fact that, with the vast increase

in government services—services with which

Mr. Diefenbaker would not want to dispens e—a huge army of civil servants is essential ,

We must commend Mr. Diefenbaker fo rhis forthright stand against the abuses ofthe Combines Act by Justice Minister Car-son-but does Mr. Diefenbaker's party, thechampion of private enterprise, not know thatthe tendency in private enterprise is neces-sarily , toward greater and greater monopoly ?

He is in the position of a man who speakslong about the aesthetic qualities of th esquare and then explains that what he reallyappreciates is the circle, You can't, Mr ,Diefenbaker, make circles out of square',

Maybe Mr . Diefenbaker ought to stay inthe House of Commons where nobody seemsto worry much about logic.

While no one will doubt or challengethe capabilities of this year's treasurer, th eacclamation of a weak or sloppy person t oone of the most important positions in studentgovernment might easily result in return ofMountains of debt .

No student, we trust, would like 'to se ethe return of austerity and the curtailmen tof activity to the campus, The answer is t onominate enough capable people to justify ahealthy competition when ballot-markin gtime arrives.

meticulous observations conducted over aperiod of several years, and particularly hi sdetailed observations of the behaviour of th einhabitants, led him to the conclusion tha there was the dirtiest planet in the entire uni-verse . He was enthralled .

As soon as the time was propitious ,Shrdlu landed in an unsettled area and se-cured fresh food for his crews . A party wa sheld on the other side of the moon that night ,and all and sundry agreed that fresh loa mfrom Orb G-9 provided the most deliciou srepast that ever they had eaten . The chef' smud-pies provided a dessert that was literall yout of this world.

But there was much to be done befor ea full report could be taken to the All-Wise ,and for months Shrdlu watched the rapidl ychanging, composite pictures on the teletron ,pictures flashed from every corner of th eglobe in an unending stream by the sub-discs .Anything particularly interesting was arrest-ed and regarded in the most intimate detail .

And it was with particular interest andgrowing satisfaction that Shrdlu watched at- jomic explosions, which increased in numberand intensity over the next year .

Finally, his work done, Shrdlu turne dhis armada towards the outer reaches o fspace, in whose chilly blackness spun th ered ball of his native Popsikl .

Ten years later, almost to the day, Shrdl upresented his report to the All-Wise, wh oimmediately went into retirement to examin eand analyse the great mass of data. A monthpassed, then the intrepid space-man was sum-moned to the council chamber . The All-Wis ewas jubilant .

"Etaoin Shrdlu," he said, "you have save dyour race! There is, however, one thing yo uneglected to mention, Will we have to us eforce to colonize Orb G-9? "

"No," replied Shrdlu, "I wanted to tel lyou the good news personally . It'll take usten years to get there, and by that time ther ewon 't be a living thing to oppose us . " Hehanded a picture of a towering, mushroom -shaped cloud to the All-Wise . They looked etit together for a moment, then burst int osimultaneous guffaws .

"Yuk! Yuk! Yuk! Oh, Yuk! Yuk! "They should arrive by 1970, weathe r

permitting .

What's Going On by bob russell

"Without too much exaggeration, I

think, one' could label Fortune My

Foe as Canada's first national play. "

"Although it has only recently been

published, Fortune My Foe has al -

ready had six or more productionshere . Soon It Is to be produced in

Norway, which makes it one of th e

first Canadian plays to attract the

attention of Europe . "

These comments, from two promin-

ent Toronto critics, Lucy Van Goghof Saturday Night and Herbert Whit -taker of the Globe and Mail, illustrat ethe high esteem held for this brilliantnew Canadian comedy .

The Players Club were considerin gproducing Fortune My Foe here thi sspring, instead of thcir current choice,Priestley's An Impactor Calls . Thereasons for producing the latter, dis-carding the former, are of vital con-cern to UBC students, for these rea-sons govern the tyre of play shownto university students .

The Players Club have a policy oftouring the province wish their on eand only major production each year,

production of Robertson Davies' FORTUNE MY FOE .Cliff Robinson 's set design for Bob Gill's recent

- "The Canadian Drama Festival i n1949 brought forward the best full -

length play by a Canadian (measure d

in terms of dramatic values and al l

round interest) that has yet seen th e

footlights. "

"It is certainly by far the most im-

portant product that the Canadia n

Theatre has yet exhibited ."

Fortune My Foe woods have a very

strong appeal to a UBC student audi -

ence ; it would not be popular in

the province. Therefore we are not

permitted to see Fortune My Foe .

There are other considerations . Th eplay must have a small cast and asingle set . It must not involve com-plicated staging (Fortune My Foe ha sa difficult puppet set in the last act) .If these considerations are not me tthen the play will probably losemoney on tour.

There are further limitations. Sinc ethis is the only full-length play pu ton by the Players Club, considerationmust be given to the number ofwomen in the cast, or the youn gactresses in the Club will not receiv esufficient opportunity to act.

To choose a romantic comedy yea r

after year would not be in th e

interests of students actors or stu-

dent audiences. But the first consider-

ation must be the provincial audience,

and not the students, since a large

sum of money is tied up in the tour .

the audiences of B. C.'s larger towns

and ciOes on the itinerary .

It would be a mistake to consider

these provincial audiences indiscrimin-

ating; this is certainly not the case .

However these audiences see very

few plays, and prefer something light ,ideally romantic comedy.

and this play must be chosen

appeal not only to the student's, but

U of

But University students should be

permitted to see plays designed for A

sophisticated audience . Plays embody- ;

ing new dramatic tendencies, new ,

stage effects, new literary style', newacting techniques must be preened

before the undergrad can receive a

rounded education .

In other words, UBC is not din/elope

ing in Vancouver a discriminating ,

1 critical, informed audience who can

Toronto appreciate new Canadian dramatists,

It is not training actors and directore

in key with the advances being :aide

to' in dramatic art.

Obviously Gordon Hillier and theVancouver Little Theatre do not trttft .

ficiently feel their responsibility t oproduce significant contemporlt'7drama . Nor should they be expectedto . The responsibility must rest onthe institution credited with beingthe centre of the courft1Y's ideas, thgfulcrum of the country ' s culture, theseedbed of intellectual and artisticcreation, the university ,

However, drama at UBC followsyears behind the times, and our almos tdormant Players Club lis not preparedto take the lead in case a dramatis tdevelops either on the, faculty or thestudent body. That such a possibilityappears ridiculous indicates the trag-edy of the situation.

Until UBC shows itself a desirableplace for drama students to develop,it will not attract talented dramastudents here to study, which in turnhinders UBC's development as acontributor to the drama, It is up toUBC to break this vicious circle ,

The obvious answer Is to presentmore plays, in which case the pla ychosen to tour the province could be'popular' without denying our stu-dents opportunity to see really im-pertant new plays, which demand asophisticated audience until theirmessage becomes hackneyed enoughto place them, too, in the 'popular 'class.

Presenting more plays is easier saidthan done, nevertheless It must bedone if UBC is to get out of thehorrible rut in which it finds itself. ,

note ?

Dear Person :

I wish to congratulate the personwho made off with my brown glovesfrom the Rook Store at approximatel y11 :25 a .m., January 14th, What a fastand exceptional job you did! My God ,I wasn't out of the Book Store mor ethan three minutes and back to , findno trace of the gloves . You ought togo into the business professionally ,friend'.

However, although you are ob-viously a master at thievery . I suggestat the same time you are either fin-ancially inert or a rather low type.If you are that poor why not see abark or a friend should you possessone . Why I complain, my friend, I sbecause I'm rather poor myself an dputting myself through school .

Mid, the articles I buy are preciou sto me only because I paid for themwith hard-earned cash. Admittedly,three dollars is a relatively small su mfor same, but for me it means a lot .In fact, so much that If I ever see yo uI'll risk a lawsuit to break your neck .

Lastly, for your sake, I hope yo unever get caught at this stealing busi -

means of Insuring peace.4. Organizing study groups to in-

vestigate the causes of the presentworld crisis and

5. Stimulating student interest inthe objectives outlined above .

Furthermore, as Canadians, th emembers believe that Canada has agrowing influence among the na-tions of the world and that herforelgn .pollcy has much to contri-bute to world peace . We feel tha t

To carry out these alms, it Isproposed that the movement open -
