McRae HitsMAD Funds

Don McRae, Treasurer of th eUniversity of British Columbi aAlma Meter Society, expressedhis disapproval of the allocationof $1 .75 per student to the Men' sDirectorate before the Constltu .tional Revision Committee onWednesday, November 13 ,

McRae pointed out that thissum is deducted from women'sfees as well as from men's, bu tthat the allocation to the Women'sAthletic Association was votedfrom general funds. The $1 .78allocated to the MAD is one -quarter of the total fee paid byeach student to AMS .

BOOKKEE4!ING DIFFICULT

Continuhg, McRae illustrate dhow this situation affected book -keeping for mixed clubs, such asArchery, where half the budge twas paid by MAD while the otherhalf was paid by Council .

He suggested the establishmentof an overall Athletic Directoratefor both men and women, withproper precautions to insure the

rights Cl women.

SOUNDING BOARDWhim questioned on the position

of the Undergraduate Bodetie&Committee, McRae said that hefelt it would not be ableto over-rule the Council but that it couldprovide a soundtngboard of stnsdent opinion.

He suggested that motions forlarge expenditures or activitiescould be referred to it for reviewbefore council decision'. "The UBCshould provide a training fold forfuture Council members", he, said .

The eosnmittee is consideringfour main points of contentionraised last year; relation of Ubt,to the Student's Council, Dls-otplino, Eligibility, and Electio nProcedure.

Ray Dewar, chairman of thecommittee, has issued an openinvitation to all students withideas as these subjects to presentthem to the committee.

LIBRARY SHOWS

WATER COLORSSix water colors, mostly Fraser

Valley scenes, by Elizabeth Amesare en show in the Library foye runtil nett Saturday, November 23 ,when they will be replaced by sixmore.

"For my part it is the winds ofthe Okanagan and the Fraserbrushing aside the dirt of human-ity," says Miss Amass in deecrib-ing he r art .

The following letter from WilfWalker was printed in the Univer-sity of Alberta's Gateway recentl yWalker. a former student at the

U of A, is now attending the Uni-versity of British Columbia. Hereare his Impressions of this campus.

IMPIIONSBeing a loyal Alberta citizen ,

born and weaned within sight o fthe Mad buildings and a graduat eof the U of A to boot, this char-acter was prepared to look in atthe University of British 'Colum-bia with a highly critical eye whenhe waived to register here InSeptember .

He found a jostling communit yof students out on Point Grey, allgoing about the business of get-ting higher education in a deter -mined fashion . The gates of th eUniversity were left wide openand none were turned away whohad the basic academic require-ments.

The student population is abou t8,600, of which approximately 1,800are women, and 4,000 are veter-ans.

UBC CanvassIs` a Successful

Early returns from the studentcanvassing indicate a tremendouspublic response to the War Mem-orial Gym Campaign .

Over 17,000 pledge cards wer edistributed to the canvassers o nThursday, and returns from theserange from one to 150 dollars.

"Results from Thursday's driveare exceptionally gratifying, 500per cent better than we ever ex-pected," stated Penn McLeod, Ex-ecutive Manager of the campaign.

'Totalled returns have not beentabulated as donations ere stu ncoming in," he said.

Woodward's and Spencer's atomhave contributed $2000 and 5300(respectively to the student en-deavour.

Returns from regular GymDrive canvassing yesterday a-mounted to $3000.

Mummers Offe rDramatic Effort

How much sorrow a woman' smind can absorb, will be illustra-ted by the University of BritishColumbia Players' Club in theirforthcoming presentation "Rider sof the Sea."

Stark tragedy is the theme of theplay written by J. M. Synge, an dconsidered by some critics the bes tof modern dramas .

FEMALE LEAD

Unusual note is the fact tha tdirectors of the production are amother-and-son duo, Mrs. IvyRalston, veteran director of Littl eTheatre plays, and Derik Ralston,long-standing member of UBCsPlayers' Club .

Leading female lead, Maurya ,portrayed by Norma Fieldhouse ,represents a strong willed mother .

THANKSThe Ubyssey would like to give

credit to the student photographerswho took the pictures which ap-peared on page 9, 10 and 11 In theVancouver Daily Province forThursday, November 14. All thepit on those pages were taken byPublications Board staff photo-graphers, including Tommy Hatch-er, Gus Worthington, MickeyJones, and Bob Steiner.

The campus is more than a 45 -minute ride by street car and busfrom the centre of Vancouver an dtransportation is a difficult prob-lem.

A number of students haveformed car pools and drive In styleto the university. The parking lotis an automobile dealer's dream —more than an acre in extent andstudded with everything fromModel 'T' to Cadillac convertibles .

GOLF COURSEThe campus itself comprises 548

acres, including an 18 - hole golfcourse .

The Students' Union fees arehigher at UBC, but more campusclubs require subsidization than atAlberta, Some of the novel or-ganizations include the Gliding andSoaring Club which has three orfour gliders .

FILM SOCIETYThe Film Society, presents cur -

rent movies every week, togethe rwith the Women's Debating Club ,the Jazz Society, the Chess Club ,

nd of course, the Jokers.

The story quoted faculty "spokes -men" as sources of information ,recording them as saying thatpresent salaries were insufficien tdue to the rising cost of living.

Furthermore, the article statedthe spokesmen believed that, sinc eincrease in student fees were un-likely, higher salaries would haveto be covered by a grant from th eB .C . government .

NO REMARKSMany faculty members inter-

viewed by the Ubyssey refused t omake comment.

Dean J. N. FWayson, head ofApplied Science faculty, declaredhe "had not been Informed of themovement" and was unable toidentify spokesman .

Dean D. Buchanan, Proferor W .Gage, and Dean Dorothy Mawdsleywere noncommittal.

Victims OF WarReceive ISS Ai d

International Student Societie sthroughout the world are activelyengaged in relief and rehabilitatio nmeasures to aid those students leftdestitute by the war, according toPhil Evans, sophomore member ofthe Students' Council of the Uni-varsity of British Columbia .

Evans states that the global ob.jective of ISS Is $2,126,000 andCanada will be asked to contribute$50,000. Each student In Canadawill be canvassed for a one dol-lar donation to the World Student'Relief Fund .

NO COMMITTEEAs yet no active committee ha s

been set up at University of B.C. ,but as chairman of the futureoommittee Evans expects the cam-paign to get under way early i nthe New Year.

Eastern universities already hav etheir campaigns in full swing, sai dEvans, and student response is mos tenthusiastic.

URSYouth Foru m"Plots Better B.C.

'How can we build a bette rBritish Columbia" Is the topicchosen for the Radio YouthForum to be broadcast by theUniversity Radio Society nex tThursday at 12 :30 p .m. in BrockHall. This program is presentedby CKWX as a public servicefenttire .

Opportunity will be given t oUBC students to participate in th equestion and answer period .

Most of the students have theirnoon meal on the campus and themajority carry their lunches, whichthey eat on the spacious lawns(when it isn't raining) or in thesnack-bars and cafeterias.PEP MEET

The fact that most of the studentbody 3s on hand at noon has madepep meets popular . These give var-ious organizations a chance to pub-licize their activities, and thus helpuniversity spirit.

Top talent is often on hand t centertain at noon hour . and starswho have appeared so far includeBert Most and his band, Thome-sine Talley, pianist and a group ofjive artists who were playing in'Jazz at the Philharmonic" at adowntown theatre .

PERFORMANCESThe performances are free

A feverish building anupaignhas been inaugurated and tempor-ary army huts have been broughtas far as 350 miles to serve aslecture rooms and labs.

A $5,000,000 permanent buildin gplan is well under way, with aNuclear Physics building and awing to the library now beingconstructed . Other buildings areon the agenda awaiting availablelabor and materials .

GYMNASIUMThe students couldn't wait for

the government to get around tobuilding them a gymnasium, sohave started on their own to raisefunds for a memorial gym .

UBC has its eye on the future ,and is building with the realiza-tion that it is going to remain oneof the larger universities i nCanada.

For Alberta's sake I hope thatthe taxpayers and their representa-tives smarten up and see fit t osimilarly expand the already over -taxed facilities at the U of A .

KINGSTON, Nov. 15, (CUP)Majority of students at Queen' s

University favor the formation of

political clubs on the campus, ac-cording to a survey conducted re-

cently by the Queen's Journal ,

Evidence presented by counselfor the respondent supported theoriginal decision .

SIGNS 'OF LIFEThe campaign for a War Memorial gym-

nasium, being conducted at the presen ttime by the students of this university, hastaken a new and gratifying turn. By Fridaymorning, officials of the drive were frantical-ly separating donations and pledge cardswhich started rolling in early and kept theirhands full all day. No group of officialsworked harder, and it is safe to say thatthey have enjoyed little work this year a smuch .

By this time, it is conceded that the driveis not, nor can it be, a financial success .The campaign has been extended a wee kto give opportunity for contact with specia lnames and outside groups .

Yet if the drive must fail, the universit yas a whole may feel that this is certainly notdue to want of effort by the undergraduates .Such a charge might have been laid at onetime during the drive, it is true; but thewholehearted response to Thursday's rall yrequest that the students solicit contributions

from their friends and families indicate sthat they have no lack of spirit .

An unfortunate error caused the rally tobe held at 11 :30, although only at the lastminute did drive officials learn lectures hadnot been cancelled, as requested, after all .The turn-out in front of the library—thoughsmaller than it might have been—was heart-ily pleasing .

For another thing, there weren't enoughpledge cards available . This was no one'sfault, as the printers were over-worked an dcould not supply the requisite number i ntime. It is interesting to speculate on jus thow much UBC could have raised could ninethousand students have been supplied wit hpledge cards—and had all of the nine thous-and accepted them.

No matter what end—successful or not—the drive reaches, however, those who hav elaboured on this campaign are gratified bythe spirited response of the students .

The Children's Hour By LEA B

Well, boys, that soft thump you hear d

behind , you was just us jumping off the

bandwaggon. Not that it matters a greatdeal, but when the waggon happens to bethe War Memorial Drive and the disembar-kation takes place in public, it is a some -

what different matter.The fact is, fellows, that we can't honest-

ly go along with you on this particular

hayride. Not all the way, that is .If you'll allow us to mix the metaphor a

little, we'd like to make it plain, at the out -set, that we're not abandoning ship . This

War Memorial Drive of ours isn 't loggingwhat she should, and we have a leak her eand there, but she isn't going to sink on us .And if the weather is nasty she can ride it

out. We're not heading for the Carley floats ,boys--but just for another look at the chart .

WHERE'S THE FIRE ?In short, we might put all of our hesita-

tions into one small question — "where's

the fire? "

That's the question which is being aske d

both here and downtown. "Where 's thefire? What's your hurry?" And we're notsure what the answer is .

We're not at all sure that the right an-swer is: "Why, because we've GOT to putthis Over The Top . "

We repeat, fellows—we haven't lost heart .But why must the entire half-million—th eestimated cost of the proposed new gymnas-ium—be raised on this particular drive? Orin this particular year? And what if it takesus two years, or five, or ten, for that matter ?

A memorial is a memorial is a memorial ,as the late Gertrude might have said, irres-pective of the interval of time before it gets

built .But we can't get along with the existing

inadequate gymnasium facilities . Can't we?Are we kidding ourselves? What did we d obefore the present gym was constructed ?

Does anyone seriously believe that thelack of three hours per week per man o fdeep-knee bends (which you can take i nyour bedroom if you desire) is going to guar -

anted 8000 prolapsed tummies and coronarythrombosis for all? Or that the addition ofthose three hours will really & truly—as weadvertise—build a Better B .C. ?

POOR DORIAN, POOR DORIANWe may be sopping wet about this, but if

the worst comes to the worst, and we wen tgymless for five years, we can't subscribeto the idea that the gymless graduates willemerge looking like the Dorian Gray wh o

lay on the floor. Or anything like it.

To sum up, we see no earthly reason whyanyone should die of shame if we don't reachthat half-million dollars this year . But wedu see a few earthly reasons why thereshould be no cries of "Shame" if we don' treach that objective .

And one of those reasons is this : you canput old John Q. Public, that butt of hoar yjokes, upon the fiscal rack, and stretch himfor all he's worth—but two things you ca n

not do. You cannot demand all of his blood ,for he will surely die, or worse, Stop Caring.And you cannot cry "shame" at him if hecannot or will not produce another drop ofblood. Because it was, you know, our idea ,and not his, that put him on the juicingmachine .

ONE MORE DOUBTWe had another small doubt, fellows . It

was just, really, that being a very fusty ol dsentimentalist, we sometimes wonder if we

wouldn 't prefer a tall, cool, long-lastingmarble shaft, topped by an old-fashione dangel with a badly hurt boy in her arms, tothe smell of sweaty sneakers and the cry o f"kill the bums" .

We hope you understand . If you don't

feel like heaving to this year, then haul of f

and go ahead . With our blessing, But let

us not—ever—start singing that "They Let

Us Down". If we do, They might, someday .

And there are enough people in town al-

ready who feel they have been badgered

enough to feel, at last, that they just don't

give a damn, anymore .

Next week the Players' Clubwill present their annual Chris tmas pieys. Wednesday end Thurs-day, for your information, ar estudent nights, and tickets fo rthem are now available in theQuad. Invitations for the othe revenings are being sent outthrough the mall as usual .

The plays chosen five year showthat some attention was paid totheir excellence as dramatic artas well as to the availability ofcopyright, the cheapness of roy-alties, and the popularity of them-atic material . One choice Is verygood, one is interesting, and theother two are at least adequatelyput together.

The very good one is, of course ,John Millington Synge's "Ridersof the Sea," which captures (afew one-act plays do) a lyricquality of grief, conveyed not

The interesting one is a tran.-

cription from Medieval French by

Maurice Relonde of "The Farce ofthe Worthy Master Pierre Pate-lin the Lawyer." Master Patella' scheating tricks (though they arestill common among lawyers to -day) put me in mind, a little, ofBen Johnaona "Volpone." Butthis transcription though It haskept the humour of the situation,seems to have lost a great dealof the brave-coloured languageof the period .

The two others were writtenmore recently, "Solomon's Folly' .by Sidney Box in 1935, and "TheHouse on Fern Road" by Maud

It is a difficult thing, perhaps ,

to find four one-act plays which

will fit all the requirements, but

we have heard of an original play,

by a UBC playwright, which for

lack of a better opportunity, wasproduced in a private house lastweek. This would be somethingfor an actively functioning PlayCommittee to investigate . I willinclude here a prayer that tit sSpring Play this year will be aplay, this time, and not an over -dressed sentimental spectacle like

through "fine" speeches butthrough the poetic texture oflanguage as it is still spoken i nthe villages of Ireland. Synge him-self wrote, in the preface to his"Playboy of the Western World, "

"In a good play every speechshould be as fully flavouredas a nut or apple, and suchspeeches cannot be written byanyone who works among peo-ple who have shut their lipson poetry. In Ireland, for afew years more, we have apopular imagination that Isfiery, and magnificent, andtender; so that those of uswho write start with a chancethat Is not ill= to writersin places where the spring-time of the local life has beenforgotten, and the harvest is

Cassidy and Peter Coke in 1940 .Neither of them are in any sens eworks-of-art, but, perhaps tlwPlayers' Club feel they are goodenough for their novices to cu ttheir first teeth on. This is a pointof view I would quarrel with. Agood play in the hands of emu -tours may, on occasion, make yourheart weep, but even then it willhave something for them to gettheir hands on and hang onto ,unless they are really incompeten t(which I don't think the presentwell-directed Players' Clubbersare) the play can carry them. Buta bad play in the hands of ama-teurs Is too fearsome to contem-plate ,

last year's "Berkeley Square "One of next week's four plays

is to be presented again it Jan-uary when the four western uni-versitles will co-operate In thesecond Western Canadian Inter -Varsity Drama Festival. My per-sonal choice of the four, pendingperformance, would be the Synge"Riders of the Sea," but my guesswould be (considering the pop-ularity of "murder stories")"House on Fern Road" But youought to see them and choose foryourself.

PAGING MR. PEERS

Dear Sir:

I know the Ubyssey isn't inten-ded to be a date bureau but Iwander if you could possibly ar-range forme to meet A . M. Pan?I'm afraid It would be rather webarreadng for him though, so per-hepe it would be better if youwere to print the questions Iwould like to ask him . Then if hedidn't care to answer he could a tleast plead that he hadn't aaet,this issue of the Ubyasey .

First, Mr. Peers, please under-stead that I am not going to askwhether or not you are a veteran ,or if you lost anyone in thewar. But may I ask what grudgeyou bear the wo.id as a wholethat you would want ' us to hushup all subject of war, forget u,about the misery, the sufferingand anguish, the multilation, filthand disease, and corruption thatare war? You would want us toforget all this, to go on the waythe world has always gone, theselfish way that leads only to war?No. Let us have our war Memor-ies and be ashamed that we letwan happen.

May I ask what sort of consci-ous you have, or do you reallywant us to forget the fine youngmen who gave their lives in thiswar? Whatever their reasons forenlisting, the fact remains thatthey did, and they died. and thatyour lffe and mine would be con-siderably different today if theyhad not. Let us have our WarMemorial to remind us.

Now I think we are agreed tha twe want to remember war, andalso that we want to prevent it.But whet is the use of preventinginternational wars if our warshere at home are to continue tcincrease at their present terrify-ing rate?

I man the wars of JuvenileDelinquency and Physical Unfit-ness. And where shall the remedybe found? Is a leader to rise upfrom amongst the juvenile delin-quents and say, "Look hers kids ,this isn't the right way to facethe problem of living . Let's stansomething constructive! "

Shall some underweight young-ster gather a group together afterschool to do exercises and playgams, because they haven't ad-equate instruction in 'school? No.And a War Memorial Gym at UB Cwon't solve the whole protuoa ,but let's build the gym . With itat any rate we can train some ofthe leaden so desperately neededto kelp these younsters who arenet se fortunate as we.

And lastly, sir, just what grudgedo you bear to your Universitythat you would try to show it insuch an unfavorable light to thegeneral public? You want peopleto believe that the gym is to berneraly "a luxurious playground

When new additions are built ,they will more than double th ecubic size of UBC's book sanctum.New structures alone are largerthan the present building.INSIDE

We all know that having a gymwill mean bigger and better daysfor sports at UBC but would youhave it otherwise? The descript-tion of the facilities in the newgym sound rather wonderful, butare you *Wafted With what wehave now? If so, 1, hope you'rethe only one on the campus whois.

WE HANG UP THE GRID STRI POnce again, the end of another season has come . This

year however, is the first in a long while that a UBC squa dhas hung up the strip after a season of American grid . The'Birds played their last game of the season last night unde rthe lights at a little place called Forest Grove way down inOregon. But while the American squad from Pacific Uni-versity was playing host to our Blue and Gold kids, our at-tention was turning to the current Miller Cup series now infull swing in the English rugby circles .

The Miller Cup, for those who have not been initiatedto the Varsity version of the English game, is one of severa loffered around these parts, and by the by, it is one of thre ecups that Varsity has in its possession from last year's battles .

Three Cups Mean Good Rugger .The other two pieces of silverware that are being proudl y

displayed in the showcase are the McKechnie and the Roun-del Cups, both of which mean that Varsity played a lot of goo drugby last year.

Once again this season, the Varsity squad is leading thecompetition a merry chase as they proceed to show themhow a team wins the Miller Cup. Much of the credit for theway it has been playing is due to coach Roy Haines who cer-tainly knows his way around an English rugger field .

But then if Roy had no material to work with, it woul dnot matter how good he was . The fact of the matter is thatthere are a great many smooth rugger players on the campusthis year . Many of them have performed for the Blue andGold before. Many are playing their first year with theVarsity squad.

An All-Varsity Game TodayThis afternoon though, we're due to see both of Varsity' s

rugger aggregations in action. Yes, it's the old UBC vs.Varsity fracas, and it promises to be quite an affair .

Of course, it won't be any too easy for the UBC squad t ocome up with a victory over their brother team for the simpl ereason that no other team in the race has been able to d oit yet. But then, these kids are just plain hard to convince .

The last time these two teams met, the UBC squad suf-fered their first defeat of the season. But that is just onemore reason for the UBC team to want to win this one .Natch, the Varsity fifteen has the idea that they want a clea nreport to present to poppa Haines at the end of the season .This, hen, would be a very poor time to drop a game .

The New 'Rules Looked GoodJust talking about rugger "fifteens" reminds us of th e

thirteen man battle that was tried last Monday. Words arestill flying in all directions concerning pros and cons of th enew type of ball. Actually though, besides the speed andmore exciting play offered to the spectator, the new rulin goffers a lot to the Varsity team in particular .

Always in the past, rugger has been a tough sport on th eplayers. Comes the beginning of the season and great quan-tities of hopefuls turn out for the first practice . After a while ,the teams have to be trimmed down to size. And how manymen are needed? Fifteen and two spares at the very outside .

If you're one of the fifteen, swell. But who wants to siton the side-lines waiting for someone to break a leg so that hecan get into the game? It simply meant that many of theboys who were interested weren't playing ball .

The Players Get A BreakSo maybe this substitution is a good thing for the players .

It will mean that a team would consist of twenty men and al lof them would be reasonably sure of getting some time o nthe field.

But even if the new rules aren't adopted, English ruggeris a great game to watch. Today, the kids will get anothe rchance to view their boys in action right otit here on th estadium field . Now we can sit back and concentrate oncheering our boys through to another English rugger cup .

Now about two ties 'til Tuesday ?Never, sever put yourself at your roommate's mercyby borrowing his ties.

No need for it at all . Not when there's a plentifulsupply of colorful, bettealooking-than-everArrow Ties at your Arrow dealer's .

They're perfect-knotting, thanks to a special lining.Get yourself some and have 'em on hand .

BEAUTIES TO VISI TRUGBY T i LT TO DAY

By HAROLD MURPHYThe spotlight will be on the stadium this afternoon whe n

the two senior campus Rugger fifteens are joined by theBeauty Queens to present a big afternoon to the fans . High-lighting the sport card will be the feature Rugby game as th eleague leading Varsity team faces its brother squad, UBC, at2:00 p.m. Another Rugby special will be presented at Con -naught Park when two campus second division teams, En-gineers and Fresh face each other .

English Rugger takes over th eStadium again this afternoon inthe absence of the UBC Americangrid squad. The undefeated Van-ity team sorely beret by injurieswill be facing the hard pressingUBC squad, which, on the otherhand, will be able to field one ofits strongest lineups of the season .

At present the Varsity boys ar eaway out in front in the MillerCup race but will be playing theafternoon without the service ofspeedy Pete Hobson who is out ortown this weekend. Gordis McKee ,who was injured in the last gam eand Bud Spiers who has beentroubled lately with a bad knee ,will both be on the sidelines to-day to leave the league leader:definitely on the light side .

Back on the lineup after rweek's absence will be atarrYthree liner Russ Latham who hassparked the Blue and Goldthroughout most of the season .Other regulars include big BillDunbar the powerful fullbackwho will be playing for the lasttime before undergoing an oper-ation on a troublesome knee .

The UBC aggregation will tr, .

elude all the regulars who hav ein practices, appeared to be inthe best of condition. Having bee rbeaten by Varsity in a previousgame by only one point, the UBCboys have a very good chance ofgetting into the winning columragain.

Secondweekendsquads meet at Connaught Park .Froth and Engineers will be try-ing hard for a win when theykickoff at 2 :30 this afternoon.

EDITORIAL

Recent discussion centering around the province-wid eWar Memorial campaign has reached a point where editoria lcomment on the Sports Page has been deemed advisable an dhighly appropriate .

Throughout the $500,000 venture, the sports staff of th eUbyssey has duly appreciated the obvious benefits to theathletic and the athletic-minded factions on the campu s(among which it must include itself) that would accrue fro ma successful conclusion of the Drive, and its manifestation i nmodern gymnastic facilities . We, of the Sports section, arenot attempting to conceal our satisfaction that the choice ofthe War Memorial should have been a new gymnasium .

That a similar tribute to our war-dead could have beenattained under the form of other projects, we do not deny ;and we should be the last to assert that only a gymnasiumcould have completely ,fulfilled the aims of a living WarMemorial, a memorial that would combine remembrattee wit hutility.

However, we do wish to affirm in very plain terms ourconviction that—whatever its physical embodiment--th eprimary aim of the current money-raising campaign is to erec ta tribute to the honored dead of two World Wars, lives whichconstitute the eternal and irreplacable sacrifice of the Pro-vince of British Columbia.

The issue of how such a tribute was to be manifest hasbeen conclusively settled, And provincial reaction I . thechoice of a War Memorial Gym has been wholeheartedl yfavorable. The $25,000 grant by the Provincial Governmen tamply substantiates our claim. In short, the idea of a gym-nasium stemmed from the dominant desire for a moawnents lmemorial; and gratuitous assertions that the contrary be true ,not only disastrously impede the cause, but engulf it is a lightthat savours of rank commercialism of an ideal the Sportspage would be the first to defend .

Big Block Club Concerned

About Foreign ' Sweaters

This practic ehas always in the past been con-sidered very poor taste but it hasnot been necessary recently tomention the practice or to takeany steps to combat it .

This year however the practiceseems to be far more prevalenithan it has for many years . On eof the main things that a fresh-man is asked to do when he come sto Varsity is to devote all his acti-vities to Varsity and forget tha the once went to a certain highschool or was a member of anyparticular group.
