It

Checks ItsCampus Status

By JACK FERRY• STUDENT COUNCIL has referred to President N, A. M .

MacKenzie a request from the sampus LPP organizationfor "clarification of our status as a political group at th eUniversity" and for club-room space on the campus .

The request came to the Studen tCouncil of the Alma Mater Societ yin a letter from W. J . GordonMartin written "under the instruc-tions of the Students Club, LPP,at the University" .

It was presented by Literary an dScientific Executive President Fre dLipsett to Council's regular meetinglast Monday night .

Martin's letter asks for "a meet-ing place of a more or lesspermanent nature", and space fora library and notices .

It further states :"It is to be understood of course

1. that our club would not, underany circumstances that I can fore -see, expect any funds from theAMS or any other Universityorganization, nor would we accountto anyone except ourselves for ou rexpenditures ;2. that we are not requesting anyprivilege for our political organ-ization other than what we regar das proper for any similar organ-izotion."REJECTS LIMITATION

Martin emphasizes that his grou p"do not accept the idea that weare politically free outside of thecampus but limited within . "

He claims that his attitude is thecorrect one traditionally at Can-adian universities.

He concludes by stating that"ours is not a narrow politica lorganization only — Marxism is astudy that embraces h i s t o r y ,science, nature, economics, currentaffairs, customs, ethics, philosophy ,etc . in a very broad sense . "

In a reply, Lipsett points outthat any new student group mustreceive permission to organiz efrom Student Council, which Isusually given in the case of clubson the recommendation of the LSE .

The second step is to have aconstitution approved by LSE an dCouncil.

He explains in his letter to Mar -tin that it is impossible to providepermanent club space for morethan a small number of clubs, butthat any recognized organizationof the AMS may book room sregularly.FINANCES

With reference to finances, Lip •sett's reply mentions Article IV sSection 1 (b) Of the AMS Consti-tution which rules that "all money sreceived by student organizationsunder the Society . . . shall be re-mitted . . , to the business officerof the Society ."

In conclusion, Lipsett inform sMartin that for clarification of th estanding of political organization son this campus copies of both hi sand Martin's letters are being sen tto President MacKenzie,NEED GOVERNORS' O K

Council deemed that this was th estep to take inasmuch as all out -side organizations must have per -mission from the Board of Gover-nors to form campus groups . Thisrule applies to all off-campu ssocieties, political or otherwise .

Mobile Uni tTests For TB• THE ARRIVAL of a thirty -

four-foot white bus on thecampus February 11 will signalthe commencement of a tubercu-losis survey of staff and studentsat UBC .

The bus, housing a completeself-contained mobile X-ray unit ,was originally scheduled to cometo UBC on February 4, but wil lnow arrive a week later, accord-ing to Harold Huggins, an office rof the BC Tuberculosis Society incharge of the work .VOLUNTARY SURVEY

The campus survey, which willbe wholly voluntary, is a screen-ing project designed to detect tu-berculosis in its early stages whe nthe spread of infection is unlikely."This is a 'well unit' we ar e

sending to tit university," Mr.Huggins said . "We are looking forevidence of tuberculosis so thatpreventive measures may be takenbefore symptoms occur ."

He added that the best argumentfor prevention is early protectionagainst the disease ,SIMPLE TECHNIQUE

The screening process handle dby the mobile unit is similar toordinary X-ray technique, excep tthat it can be done with the sub-ject wearing a shirt or blouse . Ittakes less than one minute tocomplete.

The unit is expected to handl enearly 400 students daily, It wil lremain on the campus about eightweeks.

Confidential reports are main-tained by the unit, and individua lreports will be handed to eac hstudent volunteering to take th e

test .

Last Chance For Artsme nTHE LATEST EFFORTS of Student

Council to revive the dormant studentexecutive organizations of the Arts facult yby throwing in a pep meet with next Tues-day 's elections can not help but remind usof the Roman rulers and their circuses .

But that is exactly the step that Counci lhas taken, and for their refusal to let sleepin gdogs lie they are to be commended .

For several years successive Arts electionshave been called just as with the otherfaculties, with the difference being that theeffete Artsmen can not be bothered to dragthemselves out from the stacks to attendthem .

We give them the benefit of the doubt b ynot saying "from the Caf" .

Last fall, it may be remembered, Studen tCouncil, through its subsidiary Undergrad-uate Societies Committee, scheduled Artsclass and faculty elections for October 16 andlater on November 29 .

On the first occasion nobody attended th emeeting . On the second, and even mor e

THAT delightfully pixilated publicatio nNEW YORKER recently reported on one ofthose fabulous American radio programsfeaturing "audience participation ".

In this particular show the announcersventure into the audience seeking womenwith fantastic wishes to be fulfilled . Theproceedings have the more exciting qualitie sof a seance, a revival meeting, not to mentio na Parliamentary Forum crisis .

At the specific show reviewed an earnestyoung woman leapt to her feet and screame d"Make me a reporter! "

They didn't take her. But we would have .Had she been a UBC student we migh t

today tell her that her wish is not at al lfantastic, We can tell her what we didn ' tdare interject into our welcome address onTuesday .

We can make any UBC student, male o rfemale, a reporter.

We are not interested in what you rreligion is, what your politics are, or in what

sex you have . All we require from you is

interest and a little time .Perhaps you intended to take a fling at

Last Tuesday evening I spent a nickel fora newspaper . And it was worth it . Everycent of it .

I read the paper from front page to backpage. I read the funnies. I read the stoc kmarket quotations. I read the society notes .I even read the editorials .

And then on page sixteen, on page sixteen ,I read it.

There it was, right on the bottom of th ethird column . All by itself . Six words :

Ecuador has never been exactly measured .Ecuador had never been exactly measured !Did you, I said, ever ever in all your life

ever imagine such a thing?No, I said.And I was right .The paper was certainly worth the nickel .The next morning I was happy . I whistled

as I went down Fulton Avenue, I whistledas I went up Crowder Street . I whistled inthe elevator. Allons enfants de la patrie .

Good morning, I said to Miss Black, goodmorning to the fairest of the fair, thou of th egolden tresses, '

Shut up, said Miss Black, for heaven 'ssake, must you open your mouth the mom-ent you step into this office ?

Alas, I said, I must, I must . What is in ,must come out . Alas the fate .

Miss Black yawned most impolitely .Good morning, I said to Mrs . Ludd, a good

good morning to thee, elder one . ' Tis a pitythou canst not hear, and my beautiful wordsfall on silent, deaf ears. Alas the pity.

Shut up, said Miss Black.And I did .At ten minutes past ten o'clock that morn-

ing, I suddenly remembered . I had beenhappy all the time without knowing why .

Miss Black, I said, Miss Black, I have thegreatest news for you .

You're quitting? she asked .You hurt me to the quick, I said, but

strange to relate, I am quitting. Not to-day ,not to-morrow, not next week, but soon. •Ihave at last found my metier, my life's . goal .

Miss Black looked at me.Well, I said, I am going to measur e

Ecuador.What?I 'm going to measure Ecuador, me. I.Miss Black groaned .Suddenly I felt that all the talk was use -

infamous, occasion the Engineers turnedand elected themselves to all the Arts offices !

So now Council is making one last attemp tto hold sophomore and junior-senior Artselections by planning to hold a pep meetTuesday noon, to serve as a lure to attrac tARTS students to the elections that wil lfollow.

Our Student Council, which is alreadyoverburdened with a flurry of activitiesbrought on by the greatly increased regis-tration, might well be excused for washin gits hands of the whole matter of Art selections.

In making this last appeal, however,Council is heeding the voice of its conscience ,for in the Alma Mater Society treasury i sone dollar for each Arts student to -go to-wards his class party this spring.

The fact remains that without an executiveto plan the affairs there can be no parties .

It's as simple as that, Artsmen .—J. F.

campus journalism last September and thenwere frightened into constant study by som enasty professor's threats . Now you findthat you made a first class in the Christmasexams. So why not mix newspaper workand spring fever ?

Perhaps you do not intend to makejournalism your life work . That is quiteunderstandable . As a matter of fact, neithe rdo many of the Publications Board members.

But no'matter what field of work you arepreparing for you will find that in late ryears a little knowledge about the newspape rbusiness will be a valuable acquisition .

If a few more people knew a little mor eabout the press then the newspapers mightnot fool so many people as they now do.

We are also versatile in the Publicationsoffice; We do not spend all our time o nyour student newspaper. We also put out aquarterly magazine, the THUNDERBIRD ,and a first-class yearbook, the TOTEM .

So whatever your talents or your year,come over to Brock Hall and 4ee us some -time .

—J. F.

less . Useless to talk to Miss Black. Uselessto talk to Mrs. Ludd, she couldn't hear, any -way. Useless to talk ,

So instead I thought ,One, Ecuador has never been exactl y

measured . Two, Ecuador must be meas-ured. Three, I shall measure Ecuador.

Oh, it's a wonderful thing to have some -thing to think of .

First I take a course on surveying . ThenI go to the National Geographical Instituteor something and they sponsor me. Then Igo to Ecuador. Then I measure Ecuador.

At lunch I discussed it with my friendOscar Ronick.

Are you serious? he asked.Of course.Are you kidding me? he asked .Of course not .Do you mean all you say? he asked .Of course ,He looked straight at me .I had to look away because one of his eye s

does not look in the same direction as theother.

They laughed at Edison, I said, until theysaw the light .

I finished my lunch alone .At night I told my family .Something's wrong with the boy, my father

said to my mother.My God, my sister said to my mother.My mother said nothing.That night I dreamed about Ecuador, but

I can't remember anything about it ,Then I forgot all about it until to-day .When I remembered I told my boss, Mr .

Fuller, that I would soon be quitting . AndI told him why.

Johnny, he said, how old are you ?Fifteen, I said .Did you ever go to high school ?No .Why?We have no money and I need to work .Exactly . That's why you have to stay her e

and work, and you can never measur eEcuador. Now am I right or am I right?

And he was right .So someone else has got to measure

Out ., during the Christmas holi-days.

"Der Boss" had her twenty-tintbirthday in the East, amid flyingsnowflakes and a bout of 'flu en-joyed by Senior Editor Marian Ball .We hope all la well again by th etime they have returned to ourbosom,

• UNIVERSITY slogans are fewand far between, and one of

the most famous is the one origin-ated by the Western Ontario Ga-zette — "Through the portals ofWestern pass the most beautifu lgirls in the world ." (EDITOR 'S Non—It is interesting to note that th eGazette got honorable mentionfor their photographs in the recentBracken Trophy contest) .

We do not dispute the point ,and even to our prejudiced femaleeye it was apparent that thereare many beautiful women pass• •ing, or failing, through Western'sportals.

However we are making a sligh taddition to the slogan . . . "ThroughWestern ' s portals pass the latestdelegates in the world ." For the

first two whole days we felt agreat deal of respect for our fel-low delegates — preponderantlymale — but secretly wonderedhow they ever made deadlines .They were usually an hour latefor our conference .

On the last, day, Marion and Islept in and then sped sheepishlyout to the conference in a tax i

feeling very guilty about fallinginto the sinful ways of our fellowdelegates. We felt a little betterwhen half of the delegates, includ-ing the president, attempted tovault into our cab when it sloweddown to cope with an intersection .

On the whole the conference wasrather good. It's ten bad thateditors did not have time to trotout their individual policies, withspecial reference to politics, theliaison, if any, with the studentgovernment, and their methods o f

dealing with mutinous printersand advertising managers . Wewept on each other's shoulder ,about costs, and cub reporters ,but I do think that policies shoul dhave had a day to themselves .

Naturally our favorite extra -curricular topic of conversatio nwas editorial policy, and we wer eInterested to match ideas and ex -change friendly arguments withthe editors of the Varsity, Mani-toban, McGill Daily, Sheaf an dthe Gateway. We also bandie dwords about the Japanese prob-lem which has a long way to gobefore fading out as a conversa-tion topic . I think, incidentally,that this improved CUP wire ser-vice will be a good thing for thelarger university papers. It wasamazing to see how much eacheditor knew about other univer-sities merely by the exchange ofpapers. And the best thing i sthat they were vitally interested.

Isobel MacKenzie's tongue-in-cheek Beauty on the Spot columnhas been read and even reprinte dall across Canada, our opinion o n

the Japanese problem has been

noticed, several delegates wantedto know what Luke Moyls andJabez looked like and the identityof the editor who hatched the

column head "Home Thoughts ofa Broad" was sought by others—we didn't apologize . They wereall interested In our university ,Its growing pains, and the goodcare it's taking of its service peo-ple .

The last day of the conferencewas editor's day. We each gaveoperational reports and post-mor-tems on our past term ' s problems .Cause of much weeping, wailing ,etc., seems to be the printingbogey. Humorously pitiful wasthe sad fellow from the Maritimeswhose paper was once delaye dtwo weeks because his linotypeoperator quietly poured hot leadon his feet . . and another editorwho wrote copy in English andhad only French linotype operat-ors who spoke no English at all .One delegate complained that hehonestly didn't know what hisstaff were doing, as they wouldn'tpay any attention to him .

The most enthusiastic editorsthere were Don MacFarlane of theSheaf and the Dalhousie Gazettedelegate. We suspect that chesscolumns will sprout In collegepages. . . . Bill Clerk of the Gate -way taught Madan how to playchess on the train, and everywhere else, of course, and noweverybody's doing it.

Incidentally, we dropped intothe NFCU conference at Montreal

long enough to see ow own dele-gates in action. From all reportsthey deserve a few largo medals .

Those Huts . . .Editor, the Ubyssey ,

Dear Madam :

To those of us who are new onthe campus it is enough of a jo bto know where all of the regula rbuildings are, much less 85 Identi-cal huts.

These huts are in clusters inseveral different spots around thecampus. They are all numbered .How does one find a hut marked31 or 85 or x? What Is the key ?

I am sure that the students whohave been here for months woul dlike to know also.

May I suggest that you publis hin your paper . the key to theorder, or If the order is too com-plicated, a map ofethe campus In-cluding the huts. A map of thiskind could be cut out and kept i na wallet for future reference .

Yours truly,

Jokers Again . . .

The Editor,

The Ubyssey ,

Dear Madam :

Throughout the year I have been

following your editorials with

interest, and have been gratified

to see the consistently high stan-dard of intelligent thought an d

observation which they display . It

was with considerable disappoint-ment, therefore, that I read the

trite, meaningless effort which

appeared as the third editorial i n

the latest issue of the UBYSSEY.

True, there may be a shortageof jokes about Canadians as such,but French Canadians, Toronton-tans, Halegonlans, BC weather, yes,

and even Eskimos, are celebratedIn many a time worn quip or

anecdote .

•That Canadian humour originated

long before the advent of the

Jokers and that they made a com-pletely negligible contribution toit would seem so obvious that yo ucould not possibly have seriousl ybelieved the statements which you

made in print.Hoping for a return to intelligen t

and constructive editorials.

Yours sincerely ,

3rd Year Arts .

We ran into several of B.C,'s

favorite sons and daughters tem-porarily separated from our nicewarm rain, which we cooed fondl y

about to Easterners. . . Bill Bald-win, Phil Ashmore, Bill McKinley ,John Scott, Tony Greer, John Mac-kenzie, Harry Pitts, Cam Coady,and all the rest of the medical

boys we met in Montreal . . . andHerb Greene, Johnny Stamatis ,Irene Steiner and Ashmore again(Es. Non — that man ertainlygets around, doesn't he?) wereknocking around Toronto Univer-sity buildings, and seemed a littlehomesick for UBC. We didn' tblame them.

American Council on Educa-tion reports that 125,000 veteranswere enrolled in colleges on Dec .1, and said 600,000 will be on cam-puses by next September.

The Veterans Administratio nwarned that many schools may b eswamped under the load, whichis due for a heavy increase whenpending liberalizations of the GIbill become law .

By September the AmericanCouncil said, overall college en-rollment will be up 25 per centover the 1,400,000 students of thepeak year 1939-40 .

HOUSING MAIN PROBLEMDr. Frauds J. Brown, that coun-

cil's specialist on veterans' affairs ,reported that most of the nation'sbiggest colleges incluring Yale,Harvard, and Dartmouth were al -ready past their capacity to han-dle returning GIs . Housing is themajor problem.

Brown added, however ,that ifcollege-minded veterans are will-ing to make a second choice, noneshould be denied opportunity toget training at government ex -

questions which arose from thesituation.ODD REQUESTS

Health Insurance and tradeunion disputes are often broughtto Miss Smith. She has been calledupon to translate the Persian cal-endar, locate a supposedly mythi-cal French article (which she di dfind In the Yale University li-brary), and to provide ideas fo rmixers and partied.

Miss Smith, who has been withthe Library refere,tce departmentsince 1930, graduated from UBCin 1921 and taught in Vancouverschools for the next four years .After this she attended the Uni-versity of Washington and oncompletion of her course receiveda degree In Library Science . Shethen travelled to the University o fMichigan where she took he rMaster 's d e g r e e in L i b r a r yScience.

During this time Miss Smith re-celved several specialized coursesin reference work. Before com-ing to the UBC Library she work-ed in libraries In the Universityof Washington, in Boise, Idaho,In Lawrence College, Wisconsin ,and for a short time in the Van-couver Public Library.

Brown revised a previous sett-mate of 2,000,000 GI scholars inall levels of education and said henow believes at least double thatnumber eventually will take ad -vantage of government pai dschooling.

Temporary housing is being pu tto use everywhere, Brown said .Georgia Tech recently leased 1,000Quonset huts at a nearby Armycamp and is running busses backand forth, he said .

• STUDENT governmentof University of British

Columbia is unique in Can-ada and may be an exampl efor reforms at other Canad-ian universities, Allan Ains-worth, AMS president ,declared yesterday in re-porting on the first post-warconference of the NationalFederation of Canadian Uni-versity Students .

Revival of NFCUS, accomplishedat the conference at McGill Uni-versity, December 11.28.29, wasbegun last year by Dick Bibbs andKen Creighton, predecessors ofAinsworth and Garry Miller asAMS president and .treasurer .

"I>BC is the only Canadian uni-versity where the students controltheir own finances, and the onlycne whose students' society is in-corporated," Ainsworth declared .

UBC SUPERIORAinsworth and Miller, UBC's

delegates to the conference, foundconsiderable interest in UB'C' sstudent government in discussionswith the other 24 delegates . Someof the other universities plannedto obtain detailed information onstudent organization at UBC, Ains-worth said .

Asserting his belief that UB Cstudent government was superio rin almost all ways, Ainsworthattributed the superiority partly tothe relatively recent organizationof UBC . This had led to greaterstudent participation In universit yaffairs. AMS, with wide auton-omy, had always co-operated withthe board of governors In suchmatters as provision of new build-Ingo.

Ainsworth and Miller spentDecember 26 working with JackPyle, setting up a conferenceagenda .

Dues to NFCUS were set at threecents per student. All UBC stu-dents are automatically member sof NFCUS by being members ofAMS, which pays their dues.CHEAPER RATES

Recommendations of the confer-ence student services committee ,approved by the conference, In-cluded: expansion of the exchangescholarship plan, by which third -year students spend one year at auniversity in another province :opening of negotiations with therailways for renewal of specialtravel rates for university students :and requests for more scholarship sand bursaries from Ottawa andprovincial governments .

Under the exchange scholarshipplan, Helen Lord of UBC is nowat Queens' University. Last yearLawrence Wragg of McMasterUniversity spent a year at UBC .Two or more UBC students migh tbe able to get similar scholarshipsfor next year, Ainsworth said .

Liaison committee of the con-ference, headed by Ainsworth,heard an address on InternationalStudent Service by Professor Mar-cus Long. "We were satisfied thatISS L non-religious, non-politica land has a sound financial policy,"Ainsworth reported. "ISS will bethe principal medium for inter-national relations of NFCUS."

The committee recommende defforts to co-ordinate tours ofCanadian and foreign debaters inCanada .JOB BUREA U

Formation of a national studentemployment service was discussed.ATMs service would be particularlyvaluable to reduce the number o fCanadian graduates going to th eUnited States," Ainsworth said ,mentioning criticisms made ofCanadian students for this migra-tion .

W. C. McVean, Bishop's College ,Que., was elected NFCUS chair-man, Major E. A. Macdonald wasre-appointed permanent secretary-treasurer, and W. Watt, Universityof Manitoba, was elected vice-president for Western Canada .

Other features of UBC addin gto its uniqueness, discovered byAinsworth and Miller, are that I tis the only Canadian universityaffiliated with a United Statesorganization (Pacific Student Presi-dents' Association), and the onlyone a member of a US athleticconference .
