EditorialsOPEN HOUSE

In only a little over five weeks, o . "'ebruary 11, the universit ywill put before the public another "Open House" demonstrationof the work done at the university . The committee in chargeprobably does .not realize the quantity of work involved in th epreparation of the exhibits . Even though many of the depart-ments have anticipated the event and have preliminary prepara-tions, five weeks hardly seems stiMeient to execute such a tremen-dous undertaking.

Although the groups working on demonstrations will benefitgreatly from their experience of last year it will take the earnes twork of every student if "Open Huose" is to be successful . Wesincerely hope that a sufficiently large group of workers will assis tthe director, Bill Bacon, in order that he will not have to neglec this academic work entirely.

xHis Mark .

By PROX Y

It's an amazing thing, when youcome to think of it, how many peo-

ple believeON CHEWING GUM. what they see

in print. It'snot quite so astounding, however, todiscover that most of the people whobelieve what they read are those whohave learned very little more thanjust how to read.

The latter statement may be veri -fied, I think, by a quick glancearound at those whose literary recre-ation is taken in the fields of pulp-magaslnes, bill-boards, and comic -strip ads for Grape-nuts, yeast cakes ,dentifrices—and chewing gum .

It's a fact. The gum-ohewingestpeople in the world today are th eshop-girls. taxi-pilots, telephone op-erators, etc . Even a low salary wil lbuy a nlgkel magazine . And suchpublications fairly scream oral hy-giene from every page . Mary Smithlands the big job because of a beau-tiful smile enhanced by gleamingteeth ; Jane Doe gets her man be -cause her teeth are pearly ; and al-though Pepsodent does a certainamount of this good work, Mr . Wrig-ley would have us believe that he isCupid, prettily done up in garnishwrappers, Ave in a bundle for anickel,

By this time. You 're probablythinking that I'm a crank aboutgum-chewing. That I think it'scheap, vulgar, and corny . Nothing isfarther from the truth . But let's goon.

Very few students at U.B.C ., Ihope, read Liberty or such magazines .But I know some read Esquire andother fifty-centers. And even these"top" matte advertise gum. Butwhether etudes read the ads or not,some of them chew gum. Not verymany, I'll admit, but a few . A bit ofresearch shows that between 150 and200 packets are sold every week inthe Oaf .

Now I'm not going to insult ourcampus gum-chewers by suggestingthat they believe the ads. I'm posi-tive that anybody with a trainedmind wouldn't chew gum because hethinks it is good for the teeth an dgums .

So there must be another reason .And, so far as I'm concerned, ther ecan be only one . If university peoplearen't susceptible to modern Ameri-can high-pressure advertising, theymust chew gum of their own freewill . They chew gum because theylike to chew gum. Just as I do.

What the lower aunt-chewin gclasses don't understand, and whatwe of the university do, is that gumchewing, in many cases, is a mean sof overcoming inhibitions, of defeat-ing an inferiority complex, of sub-limating nervous energy. In this ca-pacity, gum has a definite value, an dfulfills a definite demand in the lifeof modern, high-strung youth .

Well, this problem might have beenapproached from a different angle.But at last we come to the big point .

I can understand why gum-chew-ing is not permitted in public andhigh school classes . In the first place ,those poor kids haven't yet learnedto think for themselves . They hav eto be told that they're displayingdefinite mob characteristics whenthey chew gum . And besides, discip-line has to be taught in some way—and gum affords the opportunity .

.B ..t here, when we are dealing withgrown-ups who have learned to thinkfor themselves, and when we are pre-sented with definite psychologica lproof as to the value of chewin ggum, the high school attitude seemsto be a bit superfluous. We've all bee nthrough that, or we wouldn't be here .

And now that we're here, and onour own, so to speak, it seems hardlynecessary to point out that we shoul dbe given credit for enough intelli-genbe to form our own decisions asto whether or not we wish to chewgum.

I would like to go on record ashaving wondered what parliamentaryright a professor has to insult a stu-dent in front of all his—or her—classmates, for doing a bit of innocu-ous gum-chewing . And I'm warningall professors, here and now, that thefirst one who speaks to me aboutchewing gum in class will receive acarton of Wrigley's, by return mail .

My parents told me not to smoke :I don't ;

Or listen to a naughty joke :I don't ;

They make it clear I must not winkAt pretty girls, or even thin kAbout intoxicating drink :

I don't .To dance or flirt is very wrong :

I don't ;Wild youths like women, wine an d

song :I don't ;

I kiss no girls, not even one ,I do not know how it is done :You wouldn't think I'd have muc h

funI don't .

And here is what my fan mai l(God bless her!) brought me In replyto my poem of last Tuesday :Oh if you were a kangaroo

With all his funny stances,You'd never get a girl, Dear Lew ,

Who'd go with you to dances !

Thought of the week: Many arural romance starts with a littl ecorn and ends up with a full crib .

Only thirteen weeks till April exams we are reminded . . . andmany students will spend an extra hour studying each evening . Com-fort and studying can go hand in hand . ;qrs . Paton's Lingerie Shop ,2793 Granville Street, has flannel robes which are included in thei rspecial January sales . A particularly attractive robe is of soft greenwith white corduroy velvet trim and large capacious pockets . . . .There are tailored models too . . . in all the latest color tones and chi cblack with white polak dot trim . . .of all the egotists we have everknown, Chang Suey takes the cake . . . he wanders around among hisunsuspecting friends and asks them how they liked Chang Suey thisweek . . . and they poor souls, not knowing the identity of C . S., un-wittingly venture to express their real opinions . A friend of ours whowas on the bus, remarked to us the other day that Chang "must be agenius to be so dumb!" . . . other flattering robes are in dirndl styl eof rose, navy, russet ; zippered full-length up the front with tassledzipper catch . Sophistication is in every line of the bonnington robeof black with thread-thin stripe of red, and the suave trouser-le gsleeve.

When one buys a dress, one often wonders what the men wil lthink about it . So we decided to ask Chang Suey's advice concerning

frocks and gowns for coeds . At Lora Lee 's Dress Shop, 2.814 Gran-

ville Street s he picked out an array of gorgeous dresses in blue, hi sfavorite color. One was a charming afternoon dress with ' black skir t

and top of robin's egg blue with silver thread stripes . This is one tha t

is included in the gala dress sale and priced at $10 .95 . Another mode l

that to2k his fancy was the double-collared silk crepe frock . One

collar is white and underneath it is a collar of the same material as

the dress . Tiny pleated edgings go from neck to pleat tip in fron twhile the tucked short sleeves are shirred a,: the shoulder line .

For evening, pastel blue chiffon gown with tiny bolero jacket ,which when removed gives a formal effect . The bodice of the gown i swhaleboned and narrow straps of blue are detachable .

Thank you C .S. A freshette has upset the dignity of the pepste rmales by appearing at their table at the most inconvenient times . . .they are a masculine organization and wish to remain so . . . any ladiespresent are accidental .

Slippers tinted to match the favorite gown are smart and are afeature of the Mezzanine Floor .

Dainty sandals in satin and velvet with open toe and heel . Thespecialized platform sole gives comfort as well as added attraction toevening dancing .

By J. D. MACFARLANEIn case any of U.B.C's lethargi c

campus occupants should wake u plong enough to wonder what use acampus paper is, we thought it agood idea if we were to offer a littl eenlightenment on the subject.

Many people have some kind of asour idea, no doubt based on theirown thoughts and habits, that th eUbyssey, and other such publications,are centers of unemployment activityexisting so that a few crackbraine dpeople can have their verbal fling .

We are much amused by the wayin which some people came roaringinto the office the day Varsity openedafter the Christmas holidays anddemanded a Ubyssey . This seems tobe significant that some people aresufficiently awake to want to Andout what is going on around our fai rcampus.

Further . evidence of this partwhich the Ubyssey plays In campuslife is the fact that when the Ubysse yceases publication late in the sprin gterm so that the staff can preparefor examinations, we, and our con-freres are continually being ap-proached by all and sundry with thequestions "What's going on'" an d"what happened at such and suchan affair."

From this we would say that, in itseesenee your campus newspaperplays the part of co-ordinating uni-versity student affairs, and of givingstudents the possibility of gettin gtogether with their friends in theactivities they And most congenialwith the protracted and involved, t osay nothing of inaccurate and made-quote, system of the grape-ylne .

And there Is, aside from this, thematter of student opinion, throughwhich all things' worthy of a pro-gressive student body are done. Thisyou may also find consolidated anddisseminated in your Ubyssey editor-ial columns .

However, be this ar It may, wereally started out to ramble hitherand you, in an attempt to locatesome of our lost brethren. For it isfrom the records of these men thatwe find another reason for the exist-ence of campus journalism.

From the university papersthroughout Canada present day edi-core of daily newspapers pick theirstaff . This fact Is becoming estab-lished as a veritable rule, and mostjournals demand university men intheir organizations .

Outstanding on Vancouver papersare such men as Alan Morley an dKenny Grant of the Vancouver DailySun, Norman Hacking, Edgar Brown,and Himie Koshevoy of the Pfovinoe .Himie was originally with the NewsHerald before he moved over to th eProvince this year. Another NewsHerald man is Dorwin Baird, recog-nised by Vancouver editors as oneof the most up and coming youngnewsmen in Vancouver. Derwin isnow with radio station CJOR and ismaking really great time. Manyhere know Darby of old, and manymore of Vancouver's citizens knowhie voice as it comes over Texac onews, Signal Oil, This Week in His-tory, and many other features .

Outstanding amongst Vancouver'syoung newsmen from the Universit yof B .C. is John Dauphinee, day sell-tor of the Canadian Press . Johnnywas senior editor of the Ubyssey inIn 1985, which was our first year,here, and, at the same time, he wa sthe Varsity correspondent for th eDaily Province, as well as regularreporter .

Another young fellow whom manyknow is last year's senior editor ,Frank Perry, now an editor of th ePrince George Citizen .

Following this, on Friday, January27 at 8.15 "The Wedding of Palo "will be brought to the campus . Thiswas obtained after great difficultyand will be one of the most enjoy -able pictures to be seen this year.Its quiet simplicity and moving storycombine to make an interesting pic-ture. The film was photographed inLapland and authentically portraysthe traditions and customs of thatcountry .

At the general meeting to be hel dtoday in Arta 100 the policy of th ecoming months will be decided an dfull details on the film under pro-duotion by the society will' be given .It is the duty of every member toattend. AU those who are not mem-bers but who are interested in anyactivities of the society are welcome.

VARSITY TIMEThe first program of the sprin g

term will go on the air Friday, Janu-ary 20, at 8.80 p.m., over CJOR . Lasttall's staff, and any who are inter-ested in taking part In the programduring the Spring Term, are herebynotified that the Studio, Room G,Aggie Bldg., will be the scene o fmuch activity commencing Tuesday,January 17, at 12 .80 noon .

By way of this investigation wealso noted in our Canadian Univer-sity Press detail that Larry Alexan-der, of the Alberta Gateway, whoworked with us so well for severalyears on the Western IntercollegiatePress Union, and last year on Cana-dian University Press, now owns hi sown paper in Yellowknife, N.W.T. ,where he, with his former Gatewayimmolate Chuck Perkins, has start-ed up the "Yellowknife Prospector, "a bi-weekly sheet of some six pagespublished with the aid of a couple o ftypewriters and a mimeographin gmachine.

The paper has a circulation ofsome 500, almost the entire popula-tion of the town and carries miningas well as local and outside news ,together with advertising shippe din from Edmonton .

Yellowknife is a small minin gtown in the North West Territories,which has sprung up with the dis-covery of gold deposits . It has grow nin a few short years from a grou pof tents to a thriving town wit hstores, an up-to-date hotel, numerouscafes and drug stores, a fully equip-ped theatre, and many other featuresof interest .

We wish to congratulate Larry o nhis achievement in pioneering inone of the most difficult professionswhich he could have picked for suc ha tank . . . the task of developingnew territory.

This, in a email way, is just a briefindication of what the Ubyssey, andany other campus newspaper, mean sin university life . It is, just as muchas lectures and labs, an educationfor future life.

MUSIC SOCIETY BUSY

'REHEARSING FOR

OPERA

A girl sits at the piano in th eAuditorium, playing a quiet, beau-tiful piece from "Serenade ." Twostagehands are at work, preparin gthe stage for the operetta. Thereis so little noise or activity that i tis hard to believe that "Serenade"will be ready for production in sixshort weeks .

But an hour later the same stageis the centre of a veritable cycloneof activity. The chorus is in posi-tion on stage; stage hands, "extras,"and "understudy.," throng every bi tof space behind the set ; the directorsare literally everywhere at once ."Serenade" is in rehearsal !

This is the atmosphere which per-vades the auditorium as the produc-tion date for the Musical Society'soperetta draws near.

Various committees are always a twork off the stage, handling thebusiness end of the production .Their task is to provide publicity ,plans for sets, costumes, and a hostof the other essentials that all cul-minate in a successful showing.

The rehearsals are now begin-ning to take a definite form . OnWednesday the chorus, and someof the principals rehearsed thefirst act . It Is expected that inanother week or so the orchestrawill begin to work in with theoast.

Musical Society will feature excerpts

from their productions in half-hourprograms. These will not, however,Interfere with the activities of BobThompson, who will continue in hispresent capacity of script writer.PROSPECTS BRIGHT

It is through the efforts of OMyDurkin, initiator and director of th eprogram, that these new departureshave been made. He hopes, by ea-operation with Campus clubs an dsocieties, to put Varsity Time in astronger position than it has here-tofore held . The prospects are goodfor a successful season of diversifiedand interesting programs.

WOMEN DEBATE PUBLIC

CONTROL OF UTILITIES

Subject of the debate held by theWomens Public Speaking Club yes-terday was "Resolved that the Gov-ernment should have control of pub-lic utilities . "

Stella Bridgman, taking the affir-mative side stated "Utilities are ne-cessities and therefore could well betaken over by the government". Shesaid that under government controldistribution and consumption couldbe increased, as a result of lowere dprices, especially in rural districts .

Amy Hackney of the opposing aid esaid that the government has noplace in industry because "Govern-ment control Is contrary to the policyof individual initiative". In reply,Stella Bridgman stated that govern-ments supplied laboratories for theimprovement of products .

MORE LINES.On the second line Jack McArthur ,

Orme Dier, and Jim Ussher workemoothly'together and excel in back -checking which plays havoc withtheir opponent's offensive .

The "kid line" composed of fresh -men Frith, Kapok, and 0111, gain ex-perience by relieving the first twolines . Much is expected from thi syoung trio which has already shownits scoring ability .

The defense positions are sharedby Jack Moxon, Angi Provenzano ,and Maury Lambert .

The games which provide an ex -citing brand of hockey should rate abetter attendance than they have sofar—so let's give our ice-squad moresupport in this game tomorrow nite .

HOCKEY TICKETS O.K.There seems to be a certain am-

ount of doubt concerning the validityof the hockey tickets being sold o nthe campus and which are labelle dDec, 23. The Ubyssey sports staff I ngeneral and the hockey club in par-ticular hereby assures those con-cerned that everything is on the upand up and nobody is being chiselled .

ST. REGIS O NSOCCER BIL L

Mad as hatters because of thepostponement of their Chilliwackjaunt Wednesday, Varsity soccer-men will be just aching to tear intoSt. Regis by the time Saturday come sand the ball is centred off at Cambi eSt. at 2 .30.

The hotelmen are one of the sur-prises of the league so far this sea-son and the campusmen are sure t ohave a tough battle on their hands .Weeks of practice and efforts to ge tin shape leave Charlie Hutchens 'boys just oozing optimism fromevery pore .

SICKLIST SICKLYAs we have said about three times

before, the soccerrnen are now vir-tually devoid of injuries . The for-ward line will be much more deadlywith McMillan back to put mor epunch into the attack . .

The defense is fairly dependabl ewith Croll and Mizuhara, and th ebruising John Affleck is ready totake over at left back should Mizu-hara be moved up to the half line .

RENOVATIO NDennis Leong, a renovated hal f

back, has been turning in a seriesof sparkling performances in thestudent net and no apprehension i sfelt on that score .

Fred Sasaki end Jack Rush are apair or steady half-backs who ca nalways be depended on to getthrough a lot. of work, Rush being a nexcellent performer in the third -back style of game, while Sasaki I sthe more constructive player,

The Grads have yet to win agame so far In the competition, andthough we're not guaranteein ganything terrific, It seems fairl ysafe to say that the students havea good chance of coming out ontop In their first fixture of the NewYear .

INELIGIBILITY BUGABO ORumors of ineligibility remain

DIPSY DOODLESCORE GIVE SVARSITY ' W I N

By ORMIE HALLVarsity's majors of the mapl e

court won the dipsy-doodle crow nlast Wednesday when they beat th eDominion champs, Westerns 43-42 b ythe official score, tied them 48-43 b 'the Varsity score, and lost 41-44 bythe score board .UPSET CHAMP S

Such was the mess that greetedleague official Mort Gordon rightafter the game which saw the Var-sity rookies outspeed and outhustl ethe Dominion champs. Led by Ran abatthison, and By Straight, andsparked throughout by the pivot -playing of Lucas, the Slue and Ooldupset the dopecart that had themlabeled for the scrap heap and car-ried the game to the Westerns .

From your reporters angle behin da post in the west section, Varsit ywere the winners—by the simpl eprocess of just sinking one too manybaskets . When this commentatorarrived at the game half wa ythrough the third section Varsitywere sinking them right and left an dat the end of the stanza were ahead8 points, 28.87.

Westerns were a soared bunch o fhoopers at this stage of the evening' sentertainment and couldn't seem todo anything right.GOLD DUST TWIN S

However, paradoxically they start-ed to click early in the last quarteras soon as their start point getter,Art Willoughby was benched forfour personals. Perhaps Joe thebutcher boy, who was sitting behindme, explained the whole thing whenhe said "Now somebody else on tha tteam besides Bardsley and Willough-by will get their hands o?i the ball . "

Anyhow they pulled a couple ofsmooth plays that sent the Varsit yyoungsters into a spin and soon theywere ahead—according to the un-official score board . Tough luck fo rthem for they didn't rate the sam eway with the official scorer and withthe score 43-41 in their favour witha minute to go they stalled insteadof picking up the point that theywere actually behind ,

NOTICETracksters are reminded that th e

fleet meeting of the current seasonis to be held in the gym next Tues-day, Jan. 17, at 12 .30. All aspirantsto positions on the track team ar ereminded to be present at this org-anization get-together in order t obecome acquainted with the set-up.

Behind the plucky work of Rut hWilson and Faye Burnham, the blu eand gold team played themselves outand even managed to hold the ram-paging winners to 9-8 at the breath-er, but could not beat their sure ,confident, playing in the second half .

A large factor in the blue and golddefeat was the astounding ability o four girls to miss free shots—in al lthe collegians sank but three of th etwenty awarded them .

Team—Wilson, 6 ; McEwen, 1 ; Col-lins, 1 ; Burnham, 6 ; Martin, 2; Har-ris ; Asselatine ; Kjos, 2 .
