There is nothing more perplexing to anenthusiastic, hard-working student than tobe appointed to do a job, but at the same tim ebeing quite uncertain as to the duties in-volved. Such is the case with the membersof Undergraduate Societies Committee, aninfant organization which is still an orphan ,governmentally speaking .

The committee, which was victorious overan advisory council in the government re -vision battles' last spring, was set up to re -place the more or less spiritually defunc tMen's Undergraduate Society . The old arg-uments against the Men's UndergraduateSociety were that from the functional poin tof view, as a discipline committee, the pos-ition of MUS was unsatisfactory, and that ,because it had no other real function to serv eon the campus apart from decking the fresh-men in green the first part of the year, i twas an inactive group and did little to boostmorale in the undergraduate societies .

What was needed, a majority of studentsdecided at a government revision meeting inthe spring, was a thoroughly representativ egroup of undergraduates representing al lyears, who would take upon their collectiv eshoulders as members of undergraduate so-cieties executives, some of the work other-wise burdened upon council, and also actas a sounding board for student opinion . Acommittee presented was to be elected in th espring from the ranks of the newly chosenundergraduate presidents to council .

However, as a Ubyssey story stated lat sweek, "the Undergraduate Societies Com-mittee is glinguox with its diapers . " The factthat the constitution of the committee recent-ly ratified by its members, was bounced backfor reconsideration by student council prove sthat minor snarls in student government willhave to be smoothed out immediately to a -void deadlock of ideas and duplication o fduties between two groups . Otherwise theUndergraduate Societies Committee will no t

men returning to the campus have both-ered recording how their training affectedtheir period of active service during the war.Nobody has described how, when the go-ing got tough over there, his cadet days a tUBC stood him in good stead, or even steadhim in good stood. In fact the silence isdownright embarrassing.

With a polite cough, therefore, I'd like toget the bull rolling with an account of howexperience influenced my own minor rolein the conflict . (First I should mention thatbefore enlisting in the active forces I had ris-en to the rank of private in the COTC, hav-ing distinguished myself in three differentmedical examinations and fought off single-handed several violent attacks of acid indi-gestion .) Thus when I joined the RCAF i twas natural that they should immediatelypromote me to AC2 .

COTC training, a sticky compound of spi tand polish, soon revealed itself in my per-sistent habit of -shining my buttons. Longafter the other recruits had overcome theirfear of corporals and were lovingly culti-vating rare species of green moss on theirbrass, I continued to shine my buttons . Twoyears after I left Manning Depot I was Millbuying large economy-size bottles of Silvo .I was ashamed, of course, but I just could-n't stay away from the stuff . The Corps wastoo deeply engrained; in my twisted mind Iwas rising from corporal to field officer . Thefact that I was still an AC2 didn't seem tomatter.

Dear Old AllifordI remember vividly the day this habit al-

most cost me my health. I was at AllifordBay station, whose personnel were notoriou sfor their informal dress . Surreptitiously I wasshining some tunic buttons in my hut oneday, when suddenly a large, greasy riggerwalked in. I shoved the cleaning materialsunder my bunk, but I could tell his sus-picions had been aroused by the way h ewas holding my nose in his pliers.

"What you doin' there?" he demandedthickly. "I ain't doing nothing, " I replied,hoping to conceal my college education wit ha double negative. He was not to be de-ceived by such a flimsy device . Quickly,too quickly, he rapped : " I saw you. You wasbuttin ' your buffons." "I was not buttin' mybuffons," I replied tersely. "I mean buffin'your buttons," he snarled . "So do I," I count-ered, determined not to give ground as lon gas the argument remained verbal .

"The joes around here take a dim vie wof anybody cleaning' his brass, son," he con-tinued. This was the first time I had heardthe expression "to take a dim view," but

be able to fulfil its original purpose on thecampus before the winter term is over, an dthe situation may result in a constant Dut yEleven versus USC statement . There mustbe only one truly functional group o nthe campus. The size of the committee hasbeen a troublesome snag . Proposals tha tmembers of all undergraduate societies ex-ecutives, almost seventy people in all, shoul dsit on the committee, were voted down bycouncil, and wisely, too .

The old saw that two or more heads arebetter than one does not hold true when i tcomes to student government, if sections ofstudents have elected their undergraduat erepresentatives wisely. Although the com-mittee was established to serve as a type o fstudent senate a president should be abl eto present the opinion of his undergraduat esociety and enforce the disciplinary meas-ures which were given to the USC by coun-cil as a courtesy gesture .

It all boils down to the brutal fact that theUSC has very little more to do than the abol-ished Men's Undergraduate Society. Andits suggestions are still subject to banish-ment . Thus the presence of almost sevent ycommittee members would be slightly un-necessary .

This does not constitute a wet-blanketingattempt on the set-up, as the USC is, we geel ,potentially both a functional and a truly rep-resentative organization. It differs fromthe Men's Undergraduate Society in thatfresh organization has brought an obvious-ly heightened sense of student responsibility ,that ther are several thriving new undergra-duate societies added, and that a presiden twill be elected from the committee itself torepresent it on council next year,

It should work well when its establishe dmembers will be content to come to week-ly meetings and do a little more talking as agroup than acting as a group.

from the way his hand kept hitting the sideof my head I gathered that it was unfavor-able .

Shrum As a Vision

After waiting an hour to make sure therigger had gone away, I climbed down care-fully from the roof and, after consulting myface in the mirror, decided my complexio ncouldn't stand too many dim views beingtaken by people with hard, horny hands . Iswore I wouldn't clean my buttons again .Immediately Colonel Shrum appeared as avision, wagging his finger disapprovingly ,but I shook him off with a hot shower .

I managed to go five days without onc ecleaning my brass, not even touching a but-ton unless absolutely necessary . But thenlittle things kept reminding me of the COTC ,maybe a man would drop his rifle on parade ,or a rifle would drop a man on the shoot-ing range— and the old desire would swee pover me hotly . I tried to lick the thing ; i twas no use. I started polishing my buttonsonce more, secretly, after dark, behind thecoal pile .

Against the Wall

There I would sit, with my brass dullyreflecting the moonlight, and from time totime Colonel Shrum would appear on a va-pour, nodding benignly . Once, moment ofmoments-- he spoke to me encouragingly ,unprintably. Then, after I had polished thebuttons I rubbed tar and grease on the mso that rigger and his friends wouldn't know.This went on until I finally obtained a corn-passionate posting to Ottawa.

In other, less harrowing ways the COTCtraining backed me up on active service ,often right up against the wall . In the Corps ,for instance, we had learned how to crawlunder a wire fence, and were about to tr yit on a real wire fence when I enlisted. Onat least one occasion this crawl saved m efrom an ugly encounter with an armed pa-trol of 3P's on my return to camp from anightly celebration.

And, naturally, since the COTC hadtaught me something about rifle drill, I hadan advantage over the recruits who didn' tknow a butt from a bustle. Thanks to thisprevious training I was appointed by thecorporal to do guard duty, while the rest ofthe flight had to go down to the YMCA toswim or shoot pool .

Oh, there were numerous little ways thegood old COTC helped me stay in the Ser-vice, maintaining my rank of AC2, as I did ,right up to the day of final victory. So, i fthere are any young punks on the campusscoffing at the Corps, they'd better not com enear me. Why? Because I've been eatin gonions, that's why .

EDITOR'S NOTEFor some UBC fellows, the war

is still going on . The following Isa letter received from Ken Weaver ,former associate Ubyssey editor ,who is still stationed in Germany.• DEAR JACK :

Speaking of newspapers, ther ehas been a little shake-up on th eeditorial staff of the Maple Lea fbrought about by a leading ar-ticle and editorial regarding send-ing Zombies home on points gaine dby Canadian service, Some o fthese men have been in activeservice, but just the same theirpoints should not be counted untilthey have arrived overseas. Any-way, I'm afraid the Maple Leafwill lose all Its old fire and be -come merely a newspaper.

Concerning the CAOF, moot ofus here are pretty browned offabout the whole deal . We under-stand that we have to wait untilthe higher point-men get home bu twhat then? In all the army's plansfor repatriation there is nothingsaid about the thousands of me nwith less than fifty points. Whyshould we be made the goat whenlow point men in Canada can ge ttheir discharges?

We in the CAOF Isn't easy.Boredom is our chief problem. Thearmy's solution to this is the par-ade square, but that doesn't do. T ous the war is still going on, we arestill under army discipline andwe're fed up .

Wilhelmshaven Is a place tha treally took a beating. No matterwhere you look, there 's nothing,just broken and shattered build-ings and blocks and blocks ofrubble.

For the troops, there are two orthree clubs and some shows . Theclub for Canadians is operated by

the Knights of Columbus—sellssnacks, chocolate bars and coke,sometimes. Unfortunately, it i salways crowded. There Is a Jerryorchestra, and it is certalft`ty funn yto hear them give out with "Lethe Mood . "

I went a'ul lasted the BlackMarket the other ., eht. It is cer-tainly not a qth lv run affair . It1s in an old gr reed in Wil-helmshaven, and cry open.

Everybody Likes It• IT WOULD SEEM that there is one activity at Varsitythis year where we can truthfully say that "everyone is try-ing to get into the act." And in this case we are happy to hea rthat it is so popular amongst the students at UBC this year .

We speak of the Intramural set-up that Bob Osborn ehas so effectively put into practice since he arrived at th ebeginning of the term .

As Bob explained to us at the time, the whole idea wasto get as many people as possible into organized sports an dhe has most certainly succeeded in doing just that . Hundredsof boys are listed on the Intramural teams and an organize dschedule has already been drawn up for Volleyball andTouch Football, both of which are in action now .

There are twenty-four teams entered in the competition .Twelve of these are fraternities and as usual, the frat boysare carrying their share of the load. However, the othertwelve teams prove interesting too .

Lots of CompetitionThe "Men in Red" got so pepped up about the idea tha t

they entered one team of Engineers and another team simplycalled the Sciencemen . Their opposition is finding that thei rindomitable spirit can not be put down any too easily .

The VCF team comes from the Varsity Christian Fellow -ship, There are also teams from the Anglican College an dfrom Union College.

The only faculty to field a team is the Aggies . The boysin yellow are doing well too . Another group has been formedaround a nucleus of boys from Trail and Rossland who cal lthemselves the Smelter City gang, The boys of the Ex-Arm yCourse who were taking No. 2 Army Course out here haveentered a team .

From the high schools, three more teams have been mad eup. The Lambdas are ex-Byng boys, while Magee's repre-sentatives have once more entered the Mu Phi's . A new addi-tion is the Ex Kits . group which has entered under the nam eof the KAT's .

• THE VARSITY THUNDERBIRDS lay their slim Miller

Cup lead on the block this afternoon at Varsity Stadium

when they face their college rivals, the Varsity Veterans, i n

the annual Homecoming feature .

The Vets are currently tied for the runner-up position

with Meralomas just two points back of the leading 'Birds .

If they lose this all-important struggle, the ex-service stars

will be eliminated from the race.On the other hand, by trimmin g

the leaders, the Vets can throw th eseries into a three cornered figh tfor the coveted trophy . The othe rmember of the triumvirate whi mhas taken a strangle-hold on th eleague standings is Jack Bain" tcolorful Meralomas . 'Lomas ar efavored to waltz through Ex-Bpi •tannia down at the Point this af-ternoon .

Varsity, after their thrilling vie .tory over Meralomas last weer: ,are all set for their rivals and a ;econfident of taking their fourt hstraight win of the year . Inci-dentally, the Birdmen haven' tbeen beaten in the last two year ;and have been tried only twice .

They will be led into the. frayby Barney Curby, hero of las tweek's terrific battle. Curby is fas trounding into one of the outstand-ing players at his position on th eentire B .C. coast .

Leading the attack from he haw: -field will be the very dependableDon Nesbit, outstanding candi-date for the five-eighths positionon the 1945-46 Thunderbird Mc -Kechnie Cup entry . He will h 'capably assisted by Bob Crull antiJack Armour, clever wingman,who was one of the brightest star son last year's championship team

There has been a major .hake-a oin Varsity's already0lghly potent

scrum with hard working KeithMcDonald being injected into th elineup in place of Earl Butter -worth, a starry rookie last season .There is ., possibility that Butter -worth mny be lost for the remain-der of the season, as his shoulde rwhich was injured last year, ha snot mended properly ,

With bath MacDonald and Curb yplaying next to each other in the: cond row, Varsity's scoring punc hshould progress by leap. andbounds.

In an attempt to combat thetremendous speed and drive Oftheir younger opponents, the Vetswill rely on their overall experi-ence . Many of the club's stalwartsstarred on the gridiron for year sbefore entering the service so the yhave a great deal of scoring punchin their lineup .

To begin with, they have forme rRep, Barrie Morris, who has bee ncarrying the brunt of the attackalong with Captain Bud Splera .Spiers has looked very good sofar this season and can be countedon to play a steady game at hisfive-eighths spot .

Another star in the backfield i sOwen Gilpin, fullback deluxe. Gil -pin is a smart ball player and willbe a headache to the Varsity at-tackers .

And Then There's the JokersThe organization that'eally takes the cake, however ,

is the Jokers' Club. The group originally started as an ex-Serviceman's intramural team, but since that time, every -thing that one could imagine and some that you . couldn't, hashappened to the Jokers .

The whole thing was the brainchild of one Dave Q. (asin queer) Hayward. He was certainly just the man that th eboys needed . Since its beginning two weeks ago, the clubmembership has reached about 150, The only limitations ar ethat you are not supposed to belong to a fraternity and tha tyou have got to be absolutely nuts.

The Jokers have indeed begun to build up some spiri taround UBC and we could certainly do with it . They wil lprobably be at the game today to add interest to the Home-coming event.

A Big Happy Famil y' There's no doubt about it—Intramurals are really some -thing big this year. The boys must like it of else they would-n't come out for seven o'clock games or spend their lunc hhours playing for the team. What's more, audiences are be -ginning to develop, particularly when the Jokers are playing .

The best thing about it is that these teams are helpin gto create interest in UBC for the team members . We needplenty of that UBC spirit too . We've heard people say thatthere isn 't as much spirit at UBC as there was at their high .school . Let's all get behind these intramurals and give it al lwe've got . And most important of all—remember that UB Cis our Alma Mammy . It's the only way to build that spirit up .

• STYMIED BY the run of we tweather, the girls' tennis tour-

nament will continue if and whenthe sun stays out long enough todry up the puddles on the courts .

The games, which .were well at -tended, have almost all been play-ed to the semi-finals . The double ;tournament is down to the semi -heals but the singles still havethree rounds and more to go .

Already the field has been nar-rowed down to the more out -standing players, and when theweather permits, those walkin gpast the courts will see some ex -pert racket-swinging .

They will see such artists as PatCowan, Joan Feast, Isabel Mac -Kinnon and Nancy Raine tieingfor the singles title . On the dou-bles side will be Mary Green an iPat Cowan battling G r a h a mThomson and Biddy White, th ewinners of the game playing Con-nie Liddell and Jean Buchana nfor the title .

Fencing Clu bFormed Here• THE NEW baby of the AMS ,

the Fencing Club, officiall ycame into existence at a meetingWednesday noon with the electionof its executive. The elected are :President, Ken Carter ; vice-presi-dent, Steve Howlett ; secretary -treasurer, Evelyn Atkinson .

The club was formed from a nu-cleus of the fencing gym classmembers who were further inter-ested in the sport . There are, how -ever, experienced members as well .It is hoped to develop a fencingteam which will challenge othe rclubs in the city, and fencin gteams from other universities .

Anyone interested in joining th eclub may gain particulars by tele -phoning Steve Howlett, AL . 0913-R .

Both beginners and those wit hprevious expel twice are welcome,

struction engineer of the club. Andit Is shared by such returned me nas Chuch Wills and Dyne Kayll ,both of whom have seen activ eservice on the water in a very dif-ferent capacity than at present .

With but two eight oared shell sthe "Blenheim Street Boys" ar erather worried about accommoda-tion in regards to the present in -flux of scullers. It is honed tha tthe now defunct Victoria Rowin gClub will part with one of thei rshells to help reliev etion. As it is, crewsout practically ever yweek .

As competition does not tak eplace until spring, results of th eyear's training won't crystalizeuntil well into next March. Butthis is not allowed to dampen th elads' enthusiasm, for crews mus tstart getting into shape almostimmediately this year because o fan entirely new lineup .

on a diet of codfish and salmon. Nor are they raised fromknee high to a gnats eyebrow in dories, rowboats, and mud -SCOWS .

These are but a few of the con-clusions arrived at by some of ou rfledgling UBC oarsmen who hav ebeen spending their former COTCtime learning the "rhythm of theriver."

Put in the pot and allowed tomelt, it all ltpils down to th efact that rowers are made, notborn, that skill is more essentia lthan weight and that "rowing awhaler" and "stroking a shell" ar cas different as the training of anartsman and an engineer .

With competition hrcl to fin dduring the past four years it ha sbeen rather a touch and go propo-sition for our scullers, but the fu .ture seems bright this session it ,

regards to rowing meets . As i tstands now the Varsity Club ha t"men, money and material" for asuccessful term against Washing -ton 's and Oregon's tor-notcl ;crews .

And perhaps they'll hold a spo tnext year which will give them achance to row at "Poughkeepsie"the "Rose Bowl" for all colleg ,crew men .
