• WITH THE GLADSOME tidings of last . year's successstill echoing, the Totem business staff girds its loins fo r

the annual battle against Joe "Missouri" College .Joe is the little guy that doesn't want to buy a Totem

until he sees what they look like — the "I'm from Mis-souri . . . " line — and he gets stuck every year.

There were a lot of Joss (andJoetphinea) around the campuslast year who refused to take ad-vantage of "Dollar Down Week" ,but who rushed over to the AMSoffice in May. They had seen the"A11-American" Totem and theywanted to buy .

Well . . . they didn't get aTotem .

You see, this Dollar Down bus-iness was created especially forthe students. It was found to bethe most convenient, and econom-ical meal : Al of selling Totem. ,and the plan was inaugurated a tstudent request .

Briefly, It enables the purchaserto guarantee himself a copy of theTotem early In the year by deltas-Icing one dollar during DollarDown Week . The purchaser thenhoes not pay his other two dollar s(full price of wartime Totem :$3 .00) until he receives his copyof the book in April .

The education of the universitystudent, however, to laborious In -deed .

Here is the perfect set-up. Inuniversities all across the contin-ent, yearbooks sell for five dollars(or more), with purchase In man yinstances compulsory, and on astrictly all-at-once basis.

Last year, exactly 962 Universit yof British Columbia students pur-chased a copy of the historic, All -American Totem . A poor percent -age for an enrollment of over2600 .

Several hundred more copiescould have been sold to those who,

fingertips, valuable suggestions forfor pmproving the format of thei rbook .

THEME GOODFor example, the 1941 Totem was

highly praised for its " theme " —that of the University in wartime--and for the writing which inthe opinion of the judge was"realistic, colorful, without bein gfreakish or even undignified," ye twas severely taken to task fo rpages where many small pictureswere crammed on one page as acomposite .

"Totem' . moans the judge,"are-ut you ever going to learn thatono good and big picture beatsthree or four good little dink yones?"

A meteoric rise—the hardway — accomplished withi nthe span of two short years ,topped with the amazingsuccess of Editor Quick' s1941 Totem .

Two years ago, in the Septemb-er of 1939, when she first steppedthe campus grass, a freshette ,fresh from Fresno State College ,"Quickie" started moving up .That year she served as Activi-ties Editor.

And that year the Totem wa sawarded "First Class" honours.

RAPID RISEThe following year, 1940-41, sh e

became editor of the Totem, whenHampton Gray, slated for office,joined the Navy. The appoint-ment did not come through untillate September — four summermonths of ootentiai planning lost--but Ellzbbeth Quick acceptedthe responsibility, became EditorQuick, worked feverishly .

And that year the Totem wasawarded "Ill - American" hon-ours !

It was more than just a hobby,an "extra-curricular" activity ,this editorship ; for seven month sit became meat and drink, th ecentre around which everythin gspun :u a hazy circumference . Re-sult: the production of the finestyear book ever published In Can-ada .

• FIRST PROGRAM of the Fil mSociety for the fall season wil l

be presented today .Two films will bo shown, th e

first :gaging at 12:30 . Entitled"The Fi• ht for Liberty. " the firs tfilm i ; a review of the 2nd yea rof the war in fast newsreel style--air activity and night bombingover England, including glimpsesof Willkie, Hitler, Mussolini, Gen -coal WavelI, IIuiie Selassie, and

• DESPITE SOARING war -time prices, the 1942

Totem will sell for the sameprice as in previous years :$3.00

Engraving and cover costshave risen 10 percent, print-ing charges are up five per-cent, and there is a generalincrease all along the line .

"Because we are keeping theprice down, it is essential thatmore students purchase a book,this year", stated Editor LionelSalt . "The more copies we sell, th ebetter chance we stand of break-ing even . "

view of the fact that mostCanadian universities sell theiryearbooks for five dollars, andthat the price of tie book is ad-ded to their Alma Meter fee, U .B .C. students are urged to tak eadvantage of Dollar Down Week ,October 15-22, and secure thei rcopy of the 1942 Issue .

From The Editor's Pen

The Unemployment BureauThe recent action of Dean Mawdaley i n

investigating thoroughly the problem ofboth part-time and summer employment forwomen students is highly commendable .Her efforts have at last brought this cam-pus to recognize the importance of assist-ing certain students to find work duringand after sessions .

It is regrettable, however, that a muchhis positive attitude is being assumed bythe authorities toward the subject of maleemployment. W. all know that a so-called"Employment Bureau" does exist on thecampus, but it was only after a Ubysseyreporter was sent to get a story concerningthis Bureau that we found , there was nostory.

There wore also no proud foots andfigures pertaining to employment, for wasthere any attempt made to justify this 'lackof interest in so necessary a part of studentwelfare. Apparently, little or no attempt ismade to contact down-town employers andto familiarise them with the desire of manystudents for extra-curricular work .

Admittedly and unabashed than, U.B.C.surely straggles behind a great number ofother North Ameroian universities. Upon

examining certain facts of syllabus, it wa sfound that such colleges as the Universityof Washington, Oregon, Cornell, California ,Harvard, Columbia, and various othershave extremely well advanced methods o femployment acquisition.

The following are but a few examples .The University of Washington states thatit places most of its women applicants injobs. Harvard publishes a detailed bookle twhich deals with the problems of an aver -age university budget.

California keeps records of annual andsummertime employers, and Indiana ,through the National Youth AdministrationAct, distributes part-time jobs right on thecampus .

While these progressive organizationswill not guarantee appolntw nts to then andwomen students, they are, neverthiLlss, ac-tive in their work, striving continually tohelp all deserving applicants.

Let us therefore call for a more vigor-ous policy, on the part of the proper auth-orities, in finding for those men who requireit, the means to a swifter and easier pa-ssage through this university ..

Favorite new song of the 45ampere was "The One Fish Ball",borrowed from Victoria Colley.Music was supplied by MackSworn. (violin), and John Soro-eh,n (mouth organ) .

The general theme, "Christia nResponsibility In the World Today"was the subject chosen by Dr. J.W. Melvin of United Church. JimMelvin gave a report on the ha-Hostel movement.

Frank Bertram, Archie Bain, JoeAwmsok, Beryl Matheson, and EdWyboume participated in a paneldiscussion, and Bob Morris led adiscussion group Monday morning.The aft rnons were free for re-creation, including boating andfishing . as far as the rainy weath-er permitted.

Congratulations, Totem !Congratulations to the staff of the 1941

Totem! Under the guidance of petite editorBetty Quick, they produced a year book o fexceptional merit and have brought inter-national recognition to U.H.C.

It is pleasant for them to bask in thesunshine reflecting from the All-AmericanAward Certificate which they have received .It is also satisfying for them to hear theacclaims of fellow-students who rejoice withthem in their success . Last year they clim-axed the steady advancement which Totemworkers have made for over twenty years .

But these people who regard the Totemas their baby, who begin planning ite pagesbefore the term begins, toil long hours tak-ing pictures and composing forms, and the nsurvey the finished product with critical

eye, are never satisfied. The year-bookgerm seems to get into their blood.

Already they have been industriouslyplanning to make the 1942 Totem a bookwhich will surpass the All-American annualof 1941. This despite the obstacles of risingprices and shortage of materials caused b ythe war.

Lionel Salt, editor of the Totem thisterm, realizes the task in front of him andhis staff. But at present his staff is in avery 'embryonic state. In fact, he is almostalone in that resplendent Totem office.

Therefore, an offer goes out to all stu-dents who are interested in working on theyearbook which is destined to uphold theAll-American standing it has attained . Itis an offer to come to the Publications Boardoffice and join the Totem staff .

SOCIETY is holding a Fal lField Day this afternoon from Ito 4 :30 p .m .

In view of the fact that lastin face of army competition, theevent is considered to be of es-pecial Interest to the campus thi syear .

Competition this year consistsof grain judging, stock judging ,identification o f horticultura lcrops, poultry judging, plowing ,and a can-rolling contest .

Prizes will be distributed at theAggie's annual fall banquet, sche-duled for Thursday, October 30 .

Added Incentive?Personally I don't believe any

student executive should be paidfor services rendered to his AlmaMater any more than I believ ehe should be paid for attendinglectures.

To dangle the prize of free tul-tlon in the faces of students as a nincentive to editing a newspape ror serving on student council, i sto take away all the spirit of freeand voluntary enterprise that hasmade U.B.C. great during hergrowing years . ,

Student executive work, or stu-dent journalistic work is as muc hof an education as any lectur ecourse given on the campus. Yoget out of It what you put Into it .Students should pay for the priv-ilege of working for the Univers-ity — not get paid for it .

That is the moral aspect of th ecase . There Is another aspect aswell.

, IThe Alma Mater Society has seta dangerous precedent as the ex-

perience of other Universities willshow. There are other students be -sides the council president an dtreasurer and Ubyssey editor whoalso work hard In student activ-ities.

to be more requests for paymen tof fees, more resolutions brough tup on the floor of an Alma Matermeeting . Club presidents an dtreasurers, business managers ,publicity chairmen, senior Ubys-sey editors all work hard in cam-pus activities .

Other Universities w h o paycouncil president, treasurer andstudent editor, also find it neces-sary to pay a host of smaller sal-aries . The snowball can roll .

It will be interesting to watchthe progress of next spring's el-ection and see how the added In-centive of free tuition fees affectsthe progress of student politics.

The main business on the agen-da will be an extension of the pas sfeatures . The executive Is com-posed of five permanent membersand five elected annually. TheMusical Society, Players' Club,Student Christian Movement ,Mamooks and Parliamentary For -urn hold the permanent positions .

• PERHAPS the readers hav ebeen reading much ado abou t

military training and sports et-cetra and so on, but if you've nottired of the subject, here's a ne wangle .

Robert W. Edwards, Assistan tDirector of Athletics at Univers-ity of Illinois is of the opinion that"if we are to improve the nation' sdc, ;rte of physical fitness durin gthese times . we must turn to mor evi_;orous type of activity—weightIiftins, for instance. "

Mr . Edwards presented the start -ling fact that 50'l of army volun-tcesn and 90' ; of air corps appli-cants in the !United States force swere rejected because of physicalunfitness .

Them's hard words stranger, butdoggone it, their true .

Thus, the question arises, as-suming that a comparable figur ewould refer to Canada, what canthe university do about it ?

Otu' answer Is that U.B .C . canand Is offering physical classes t oimprove our military efficiency .For men only, among other things,weight lifting is offered.

To quote Mr . Edwards again ,"Weight lifting Increases the In-dividual's muscle tone, develop sbody resistance, and gives one anorganic vigour that he is unlikelyto possess otherwise . "

If you doubt this, try it some-thee. And we do mean "try it ."

Underneath our football steadsVarsity behemoths may work outwith the barbell equipment at al lhours . Student instructors are al-ways willing to demonstrate weightlifting technique .

Two arm curl, deep knee bend ,prone press and abdominal raisearc suggested exercises for all -round development, the Directorstated .

In the stadium gym, there ar eweights ranging from 2'i z to 50pounds, heavy and not-so-heavybars, and all necessary auxiliaryequipment . All, like the highwa ypedestrian, enjoy a good lift .

It might be a good way inwhich to reduce that bulging waistline . You know fellows, or is tha ttoo personal ?

• I SUPPOGE that my career insport could really be said to havestarted when my Auntie Ethergave me a pair of running shoesfor my twenty-first birthday .

Everyone agreed that this wasan unusual display of affection onthe part of Auntie Ether, whohad never before given me any -thing, except the mumps when Iwas six. Nevertheless, I recogniz-ed the shoes immediately as tha ttype which Woodward's throw sIn free with the purchase of apail of lard, and I made repeatedattempts to dispose of them with-out a trace, only to be foiled byfate and a persistent plumber .

Fearing that we might still beexcluded from Auntie Ether's will,the family severely criticized thisabortive attempt to liquidate hergift, urging me to wear the ghast-ly running shoes .

"Ruh around," said the family,"or else, "

In a special meeting, it was de-cided that It would be necessaryto have the tread worn off th eshoes before New Year's day,when Auntie would be comin garound to tales back her Christ-mas card.

"You might try playing Bad -' minton," suggested someone .

"What's badminton?" I snappedsuspiciously.

"It's a sort of indoor sport, 1believe ."

"Like post-office?" I demanded."Or do I have to us both lungs? "

A guilty silence settled on thegroup. I looked wildly from tacoto face, blanching at what I sawwritten there .DAWNING

"You don't mean," I choked,"you don't mean it's exercise? "

Some bowed their heads silent-ly, while others turned awayshame-faced. For a minute theworld seemed to spin around craz-ily, but I somehow managed toget a grip on myself.

do it," I whispered, blowingmy nose sibilantly.

"I'll do it for the family! "The next evening I was formal -

1y dressed for the sacrifice. Grand-pa had disinterred a mouldy pairof long, khaki shorts with the leg -end "Shuawap Scouts, Troop 5 "blazoned across the shank, andthese hung limply to below theknees. Another member furnish-ed the raquet, while a third sup -plied the strings.

"Shouldn't he take a shuttle?"someone asked .

"New. They'll give him the bir das soon as he starts playing."

I shook hands all around, slip -ping an envelope Into Grandpa'shand, in case I should fall to comeback, and a few minutes later wasslinking into the gymnasium .

There I was somewhat startledto see a large number of largerwomen lying on their backs withtheir feet in the air . It looked lik ethe symptons of mass ptomainepoisoning, but, supposing it to bepart of the game of badminton ,I assumed the proper position andstarted kicking phlegmatically .

Then,, abruptly, a behemoth offto starboard shrieked, and rearedup on her haunches, pointing afat forefinger at me. Immediatelythe rest heaved off the floor withshrill cries, huddling together an dstaring at me.YOU NEXT

"Well, I guess I'm 'it'!" I laugh-ed nervously .

At this, a beefy amazon, evid-ently one of the ringleaders, step-ped up to me, glaring balllger.ently.

"Are you a woman?" she snarl -ed .

"Don't let these shorts fool You,madam," I said stiffly. "I shaveregularly . "

"Then how dare you sneak inwith us girls' Pro-Roo class?" sheahouti‘d, as the others Fowle dominously .

."I came to play badminton," I

protested."The badminton club met last

night," she returned hotly . "Thinkagain, brother! "

They were closing In on me now,like a herd of elephants who allhave their eye on the cams youngsapling, so that I had a suddendesire to travel . In fact, "ShuswapScouts, Troop 5" rapidly becamean Illegible blur as I sped out ofrange of their hoarse else.

That evening ended my careerin sport. Auntie Ether died soonafter, leaving everything to a petturtle .

We burled the running shoeswith her.
