An issue which has been obscure toolong might well be brought into th e

open now. It is the question of the ad-ministration of student buildings .

At present the gymnasium and the stad-ium are administered by the Athletic Dir-ectorates, which consists of students an dfaculty representatives. The revenuesfrom them go into trust funds under theBursar. Brock Hall itself is administere dby a student-faculty committee, the Com-mittee for the Administration of BrockMemorial Building, and its' revenues als ogo into a trust fund under the Bursar .

Why do these student buildings have tobe managed in this way? As these building sare for student use, it would seem that th eCouncil could administer them more ef-ficiently and more practically than can com-mittees consisting partly of faculty repre-sentatives. Surely student government hasadvanced far enough that it can assumesuch responsibilities as these .

The financial arrangements also are no tvery satisfactory. If additional expensescome up or if certain improvements areneeded, nothing will be done when the trus tfund runs out . Should the expenses beabsolutely necessary and the Alma Mate rSociety put up the money, then the book -keeping of the Alma Mater offices and ofthe Administration offices becomes mixed

"The most poetic of all musi-cians," is what Liszt said ofSchubert . Schubert composed wel lover six hundred songs during hisshort life . He looked at any poem ,good and mediocre alike, and In-stantly a melody came into hishead. Haai was actually so indis-criminate that he might have sai dwith Rossini, "Give me a laundry11st, and I will set it to music. "

The great "lieder" composers—from Schuman to Hugo Wolf atleast, have all b.,en deeply in-fluenced by Schubert's songs andhave by no means rejected allSchuberlian touches . Brahms an dWolf each composed over twohundred songs . They differ, fun -d . mentally, in that Wolf was aelscple of Wagner . In fact, Wol ffelt such a reverence for th elyrics and their poetic mater tha tat tunas he sacrificed the purit ycf 1113 melody. The names ofhichendorff, Moericke, and Goeth aapb'-+r most frequently 'on Wolf' sscngs .

New RadioPresentedAt Mixer

Brock Hall's console -model radio - gramo-

phone arrived on the Cam-pus Wednesday. It will bepresented to the Alma Mate rSociety at the Saturday nigh tMixer by Sandy Nash ,Arts President. A. M. S .President Harry Lumsdenwill officially accept this giftof the Artsmen 's Under-graduate Society, designe dfor student use in BrockHall .

This combination radio-gramo-phone is equipped with a built -in aerial and built-in rxorclchanger and, acco rding to theArts' Executive who tried it out ,has an excellent ,lone. All dialsare enclosed in the cabins .

The radio will be available fo rstudents at all times in Brock Hall ,and it is hoped that arrangementscan be made to permit playing o fprivate records, possibly in theevening. It will probably be in -stalled In Brock Hall on Mondaymorning .

The sot is to be paid for fromprocc.ds of the Saturday nigh tMixers, and according to Do nBucklund, Secretary of the Arts -men's Undergraduate Society ,should be paid fur befor e theend of th' . year . It Is also hopedthat there will be sufficient sur-plus to give a sizeable donatio nto the Red Cross.

• Revelations o fThe Writers

up.The sore point, however, is Brock Hall .

As the administration of the building is inthe hands of a student-faculty committee ,applications for the use of the building or o fa part of it go, not to the Student Council ,but to this committee. In a building that i salmost wholly for student use, the adminis -

tration should be entirely in the hands o fthe Student Council if student governmentis to mean anything. At the beginning ofthe year, revenues from the building wentinto a trust fund administered by the Alm aMater Society . The fund was to be usedfor furniture and depreciation . Now therevenues are to go into a trust fund underthe Burser, but to save trouble, the Counci lhas adopted the policy of charging no ren tfor the building above expenses so tha tthere is no revenue.

So far, there have been very few com-plaints, if any, about the way Brock Hal lis being looked after . The opening of it inthe evenings and on Saturday afternoon sis a triumph for Student Council, particu-larly as the extra expenses are being borneby the Board of Governors . It would beworth the extra expense, however, to havethe building in student hands for the mereprinciple of student government .

Control of the building was lost duringthe fall term . The Council should hav ecalled Alma Mater meeting to discuss th ematter and to support Council in a fight fo rpossession of the building. The • Board ofGovernors conceivably might have listene dto the whole story of students even if the ypaid no atention to the Student Council .

Doubtless a full explanation of the mat-ter will be available from the Council at

• the special Alma Mater meeting next week .Any obscure points or questions that re -main in anyone's mind shoud be cleared u pthere .

It might be wise to plan some courseof abtion at the meeting if possible. If thematter is dropped this year, it may be toolate ever to regain control .

I suppose the average audience can see"Henry IV" without being torn by

prejudice for one aspect or another of thePercys' rebellion; the battles are so longago that it has ceased to care . But the aver-age audience at Robert Sherwood 's "ThereShall Be No Night" cares very much, an dhas probably made up its mind, consciousl yor unconsciously, on the issue of the pla ylong before it entered the theatre . For thisissue is the Russo-Finnish war of last yea r(or as Mr . Sherwood would probably say,the Nazi-via Moscow-Finnish war) .

On this sizzling question, Tuesday even-ing ' s audience seemed to divide itself intotwo parts, if you will allow my rough-and-ready generalization . One part unquestion-ably accepted Mr. Sherwood 's thesis that theSoviet bear lumbered. into Finland just be -cause the animal trainer in theWilhelm-strasse cracked his whip; the other, cannyproducts of the scientific method like my -self, had read Pritt and Coates and the"Labour Monthly" for the negative, and, forthe affirmative, the Victoria "Daily Colon-ist" (this latter, I might explain for thebenefit of dwellers on the continent, is theoracle of Vancouver Island Toryism, aspecies which finds the Gulf of Georgia com-plete Insulation from the outside world) ;and, having achieved this feat of impartial-ity, formed a suspended judgement (th eintellectual's name for a prejudice) to las tuntil some of the fumes of propaganda clea raway .

• As fantastic to his read-ers as his own pixy

creations such as Miss Fung aKlaxon and Dr. Elf Moon-glow, is Isaac Ben Solomo nBen Isaac Ben Joseph Ha-Doresh Jabez.

The usual counter to the ques-tion of "Who is Jabez?" Is "Whatis Jabez?" Then you're stumped .Once he was called "An Overtim eDraw With Nature" (Proceeds toRed Cross), but that was onl ypartly right .

The name has no special mean-ing . . Jabez chose the nom-d eplume by opening a book ofnames, coming to the Js, and tak-ing the first one. Actually it is ofJewish origin and has varied in-terpretations. Strangely enoughone refers to "families of scribes" .Another is "more honorable thanhis brethren" . The name (Correct-ly pronounced Ya-bez but takenat U.B .C. as Jay-hez) is derivedfrom the saying of the mother o fthe original Jabez—"I bare hi mwith sorrow" .

Tears, Idle TearsAnd so divided, the audience greeted

"There Shall Be No Night" . The majorityapplauded vigorously, sniffled into handker-chiefs, and gave a restrained hiss or two .The minority, probably of one, just lookedon glumly .

What else could it do? In case youdidn 't waste your money, listen a momen tto what Miranda Valkonen .played by LynnFontanne) had to put up with . Her son goe snorth to fight with the Finnish ski troopsand dies of wounds . Her husband, a neur-ologist, is serving as an army doctor and iskilled during the attack on Vilpudi. Herdaughter-in-law is wrenched away from herhome, and sent to have her baby amid th ecold comforts of relatives in New Bedford ,Mass., Miranda's ancestral seat . Mirandaherself has prepared to set fire to the hous erather than submit to the invaders ; more-over, she and Uncle Waldemar have equip-ped themselves with rifles to resist the Rus-sian troops 'as they close in . Or are theyNazis, Mr. Sherwood? At any rate, theyweren't called up in the U.S. draft) .

Not such a high score, you say, astragedies go? But this is no real tragedy.It is heavy gloom by the shovel-full, timedto smother the real genius for comedy of Mr .Lunt and Miss Fontanne . The melancholylies heavy on the spirit, like a sodden pud-ding on the stomach . And no catharsis Inany of the three acts . "There Shall Be N oNight" won't even move you to buy a warsavings stamp .

Hearing that Jabez was to b erevealed, one girl asked about hiseyes . The left one is grans an dthe right veers in practice to-ward blonds and in colour to deeppurple. That is the latest report .He may have switched them a -gain by tomorrow .

In reality Jabez is a handsome ,modest fourth year ertaman. Inhis conversation he is just likeone of his columns, perhaps mor esubtle .

'Candy Hungry? Here's just what you likeMontrealEvery Sunday with monotonous regu-larity Montreal has a murder . It adds

spice to this turbulent ant-hill. If youhaven't any friends you can always talkabout the last murder .

Just recently a butcher, on ' Sunday,some derogatory banal and puerile thingsabout the army. A cripple frowned at himand wagged a threatening digit . He gotbutchered .

They don't have man hunts or red head -lines. The police just cruise up and un-dramatically put the fiend away .

Montrealers don 't go to church on Sun -day. They stay at home and murder thei rfriends .

I can hardly wait till Sunday .

Montreal has always been drummed u pas a pretty large and expensive little town .Not only do outsiders cuddle the impression ,but even Montreal residents . Indeed eventhe census taker .

Pioneering in such an attitude was diffi-cult. I spoke of Saskatoon, but even afte rspelling it they couldn 't pronounce it .

My greatest faux pas was in askingwhere "The Bay" was. At home, the Baywas where you got off the street car . Hereit is where you get off the ship .

But in spite of their idiosyncrasies, Mon-trealers are the friendliest people in th eworld . If you ssk a person where someplace is, instead of digiting, as is done i nthe West, they take you there. And theytalk to you without being introduced .

A.B .C . Varsity Jamboree lately .From all reports it lived up to itsname. Included in the evening'sentertainment was roller skating ,professional entertainment, Bandr_velile, the snake dance, and ball -room dancing. How some studentsfrom coast to coast envied the mtheir snake dance! In fact, so grea twas this noble emotion that som eof the enthusiasts on the campu stried to round up a charming co -ed to perform the mystic contor-tions of the dance, When It cameto roller skating was there, per -chance, a little boops-a-dalsyingwith a hard wood floor ?
