Illustrious UBC Graduate

An Editorial

LjLQuiet Please !

According to Rod Morris, President of the AMS, asystem of staggered lectures at 8 :30 will be given a trial soon ,in an attempt to clear up the tretieportation congest1on .

Every morning the B. C. Electric buses groan underthe steadily increasing loads of students riding out to Varsity ,At 10th and Sasamat from 8 to 8:30 a,m, large crowds areforced to fight to get onto the buses and as the bus drivers ,noted for their ability to pack the machines, have to set alimit somewhere, it means that many people are late fo rlectures .

The faculty has agreed to alter their lecture hoursso that some of the students may get out a little earlierwithout having to hang around, waiting for things to start ,when they get here.

The plan is roughly as follows : Some of the large r8:30 classes, probably the freshman sessions will start at 8 :10and will continue to 9 :30. As there is usually four hours aweek in these classes one afternoon period will be dropped .The first twenty minutes will be used for study of lectures .

The other classes will take up at 9:30 as usual.The plan is a good one as it will mean that the traffic

load is spread out over a far longer period while it will onlymake a twenty minute difference to the student .

There is one hitch . The students coming to the latersession will have to be extremely quiet when they are inthe halls . If they make a great deal of noise then it will b e

impossible to conduct the other lectures, and the plan wil l

fall through .Just why anyone would want to make any noise at

8:30 in the morning is beyond , us, but apparently there aresome gay spirits, who are not impressed by the fact that therest of the students are wishing they were back in bed andare in no Erica for'nofea ,

So it is up to the students who arrive for the 8 :30's as to Sask. Dean

whether the plan will be a success. If they are quiet and playball with the professors who are coming out to take the early Th inks Art

sclasses, then they won't have to fight their way into the bus .SSsssssshhhh! You'll wake the freshmen.

THE UBYSSEY

Friday, November 13, 1942

• From The Editor's Pen

The RoeRitchie Case .Minute 16 passed at the Student

Council meeting of October 26 was origin-ally intended as a measure which woul dfacilitate council business, instead of whichit has resulted in one of the most complicat-ed issues that the council has yet run into .

Minute 16 merely states that any stu-dent, arranging a function under the juris-diction of the AMS, must submit to the AM STreasurer a budget for the function, at leas ttwo weeks before the date the function willbe held. It is passed so that council wil lhave plently of time to consider and, i fnecessary, revise the budget . It has beenfound that if this time limit is not allowed ,that the council must permit some things t ogo through merely because the date of thefunction is too close to permit further in-vestigation. Therefore Minute 16 was passedfor the protection of the student finances .

Then comes the Arts-Aggie Ball . TheCommittee in charge has not submitted abudget two weeks before the tentative date .they have had sufficient warning, so the yare told that they cannot have the affair onthe 18th. Mr. Ritchie, president of the Arts-men's Undergraduate Society, submitted abudget to the treasurer for an Arts-AggieBall—to be held on November 25, and thebudget is submitted well ahead of the re -

quired time. So everything is fine, regula-tions have been complied with . '

At the Council meeting of November 9 ,Mr, Mercer brought the matter up and re-commended that the affair he held on the18th. The fun commences.

Mr. Mercer's reasons for having the af-fair on the 18th are : (1) that to move it tothe 25th would be penalizing the studentsmerely because their Undergraduate presi-dents (Hugh Ritchie and Johnny Roe of theAgricultural Undergraduate society) havenot been efficient in their handling of the

show. (2) That the date of the 25th will

conflict with the Senior Class Party which ,

according to Mercer, was to be on the 28th.Taking point number one, it would seem

that it would not be penalizing the studentsmerely to move the affair on one week, in-sofar as a week one way or the other shouldmake little difference to the students .

Point number two falls flat when it i sdiscovered that no application to hold thesenior class party had been made to Joh nCarson, president of MUS, under whos ejurisdiction falls the setting of dates forsocial function&

Then we have the problem of a lettersent out by Arvid Backman, treasurer o fAMS, this drew the attention of councilmembers, to article 16, and informed the mthat Mr. Backman felt he might be in aposition where he would feel it his duty t oresign, should Council not uphold Minute 16 .

Now certain of the councillors, who fee ldeeply about messing around with the sociallife of a student body to the extent of aweek's delay in a dance, also realize that th eloss of their treasurer, would be very incon-venient . In fact it might be downright em-barassing, especially when 520 men in red

sweaters start asking why their boy Bill i sleaving office,

So Mr. Backman withdraws the implic-ation of his billet-doux, the stage is set, theaction begins.

To those of you who have read this faryou now hake the background and the edi-torial begin&

Mercer's motion to have the dance onthe 18th was passed, Mercer, Sully, Mathe-son and Warner crying Aye! with Buck,Malvin and Backman crying nay! Carso nwas unavoidably absent and Morris has novote.

So those four members of council namedas favoring the early date, have voluntaril ywalked over their own motion which waspassed to protect the student body. Morris ,stated very emphatically that he thoughtthey were making a very big mistake an dletting themselves in for future trouble .

We agree . Council business this year hasbeen conducted on a haphazard basis tha tcan be satisfactory to no one, and unless theystraighten out and follow a few of the rulesthey are going to find themselves in a mess .

To accuse Ritchie and Roe of being in-efficient, merely because they did not ge ttheir budget in on time for the 18th, Is silly .There is no law that we know of whichdefinitely sets a date for the Arts-Aggie . Ifthere has been no date set for the SeniorClass party, then there is no good reasonwhy Ritchie and Roe should be expected toallow for it when they arrange their funs'Lion . They originally planned for the 18th,but when that proved to be impossible theychose anothr date, which was perfectlywithin their rights. If they had tried to buckthe council ruling and made an attempt toget their function on the 18th, then therewould have been cause to complain .

'But they stayed within the law and i t

was Mercer, the Boy Economist, who took▪ it upon himself to at a new date and one

which would not comply with council reg-ulations.

': Then Mercer moved that Ritchie an dRoe be summoned before the cow

The score to date: Ritchie and ' Roe havemuddled their dates but have thing sstraightendd out, Mr, Mercer, supported bySully, Matheson and Warner suspend coun-cil regulations and toss things into an up -roar, Mr. Mercer moves that Ritchie andRoe be charged with inefficiency . Simple—if you like Chinese puzzles.

No more can be said until council passesjudgement on the two men, but it is ourfeeling that even a stern rebuke to the und-ergrad presidents will be an injustice .

In conclusion we would like to stat ethat, although we have no desire to pick onthe Student Council, if they do not tightenup their business methods we think thatthey are going to wind up in a good dealof trouble. We do not believe in rigid ad-herence to any set code if there is goodreason for suspending the code, but an ykind of government that is going to workmust have some rules to go by.

• With The Other Colleges

• For The Engineer s• IF UNCLE SAM'S airmen are ever forced down in

jungle or wilderness while in flight, they will be able tosubsist on specially prepared rations until they can get to apopulated settlement .

The brand-new rations, called "Parachute Rations" bythe Wright Field Army Air Corps test and research cente rat Dayton, Ohio, were produced by the Quartermaster Sub-sistence Research Laboratory at Chicago .

In describing the new rations ina General Science Forum addressgiven in co-operation with th eU .S. Army Air Forces,Dr. Everet tW. Thatcher of Schenectady, co-ordinator of civilian pilot trainingat Union College, said that a day' sfood contains 3500 calories . Therations are wrapped up in sturdy ,moisture-proof packages.

BREAKFASTAccording to Dr . Thatcher„ the

breakfast ration has four ouncesof pemmican biscuit, two ouncesof modified malted milk, one three-ounce can of veal: loaf, two solublecoffee tablets, two cubes of sugar ,and one slice of gum.

The noon-day meal ration haseight more pieces of pemmican bis-cuit, as well as a tube of bouillonextract, a package of 15 dextrosetablets, a tin of ham spread, an da piece of chewing gum .

The package of "D" ration forsupper consists of chocolate, suc-rose, dry milk, lemon powder in alittle cellophane bag, some mor echewing gum, three cubes of sugar ,and a tin of sausages .

"Recenty a 14-man expeditionmade a hundred-mile hike acrossthe hot desert sands of New Mex-ico just to test out this new ration, "Dr. Thatcher pointed out . "Theexpedition was composed of thre eofficers who were attached to theAero Medical Research Laboratoryat Wright Field, seven enlisted menfrom the Wright Field Medical de-

tachment, and four college pro-fessors.

TREK"They flew to Albuquerque, Ne w

Mexico, in an army air transport ,and early the next morning beganthe hike across the desert . Mostof the trip was made through thebig Santa Fe National Forest, fol-lowing the wanderings of parched ,shallow Jemez Creek .

""It was pretty warm, which wa shard on the men, but fine for th epurposes of the whole experiment ,The highest temperature durin gthe was 127 degrees Fahrenheit .Official air recordings for the sameday were 90 degrees in the shade .

" The party went along steadil yover rough country, at altitudesranging from 5000 to 9000 feet a-bove sea level . And the daily mile-age was from 13 to 21 miles. "

"The ration worked out verywell, and the men thrived on it, "the speaker continued . "The 3500calories d day which it providesare about one-half more than theaverage sedentary person needs .

"Each man was weighed twl-codaily, before breakfast and at th eend of the day's trek . Blood testswere also made each morning be-fore breakfast and at the end ofthe day .

"Except for a few blisters andsunburn, the men wound up i nmuch better physical shape thanwhen they started off . "

fully turning the moonlight of fand on with a bombardment ofcloud fragments. Inside the Li-brary was stuffier and sleepie rthan ever. Furthermore therewere still almost four weeks be -fore exams started, So we wentfor a walk .

We should have known fromthe start that something odd wasbrewing. The willows on theLibrary lawn were twitching andrattling about nervously like Dis-ney's trees in "Snow White," in -stead of swishing gracefully likewell-bred weeping willows. Downon Marine Drive you could hearthe rustle of surf eating away atthe foot of the cliffs . Scuddingpatches of moonlight showedbanks of combers charging Belc hbeach, miles of white caps at sea ,and new patches of snow onHollyburn Ridge .

Then we saw It—the lantern i nthe woods behind the wirelessstation . Conscience said, "Hadn' tyou better get back to yourbooks? Besides it's none of yourbusiness, besides it's an awfull ydark night and those woods loo ka bit spooky, besides exams areonly three weeks or so away "

puriosity said, "Exams are fourweeks away yesterday, so don' tbe a pansy . It might be some-thing interesting like a murde ror a kidnap plot."

Conscience said it was not thenight to go investigating crimes,besides exams were only . . .

We went into the woods, feel-ing more like Snow .White thanever.

There were three men aroundthe lantern in long cloaks and oddhats . One held a chart, the oth-er a lantern, and the third wasdriving a stake . The windbrought a momentary whiff ofport wine to our nostrils .

"Confound these mouldy cliffs, "remarked the figure with thechart. "I always like my gun-ners to be able to see the splashe sfrom their fire, but there's not adecent site for a battery on thewhole cape .

I have heard atlout six theories expounded as tothe fatal figure . With every daysomeone discovered some newand "definite proof" that the limitwill be 55 per cont., next day it' s45 per cent, and so It goes, shuttl-ing from one to the other and inbetween until the very mentionof Christmas ands us into near -hysteria.

Some say the mid-term nark shave been sent to Ottawa; someay the Christmas marks won'tbe a final factor to decide the is-sue In January.

Until the final decision hasbeen made and announced to tu twe will all be in the same stateof uncertainty, we will still cringeat the thought of exams and theirpossible result : But until thattime when We are told what I. tobe expected of use we certaWydon't relieve the situation by go-ing quietly mad every time wehear a new angle, and immediate-ly rushing around and tellingeveryone else the ghastly news.

• THESE RUMOURS have bee nof value to one group, despite

all that has been said above, Theprofessors are at last in a posi-tion to hold some definite cost-ly penalty over the "huskies atUBC" besides the usual SAC ,and that threat has caused agreat overcrowding of the library .

Yes, it is crowded, but thenoise there has increased in di-rect ratio to the increase in num-ber of people "studying" there .We're all scared, we all want tostudy so we can continue ou reducation, but there is little op-portunity to study in a place tha tresembles the caf at twelve -thirty.

• THAT DIGRESSES from th eobject of this column in a

way, but I think it is related be -cause a lot of that noise is owedto 'rumourists' confiding theirlatest to the people across thetable .

Rumours interfere with study-ing—if it isn't the actual talkin gabout them, it's the worryingabout them when we try to set-tle down to study .

And this habit of spreadingrumours doesn't apply only to th ecampus . Look at the posters onthe walls of buildings ,on sign -boards, in street-cars—every-where there are warnings agains ttalking about things which ahot'l dnot be discussed, whether it i sthe weather ,or shipping, or thedraft.

They say it undermines morale ,and much as we 'sophisticated 'individuals scoff at the phras eyou must admit that it has suc-ceeded in a similar fashion at th eUniversity ,

• THERE IS nothing we ca ndo, until we are informed o f

the ruling concerning draftees a tUniversity. We may never betold defintely what that ruling is ;that is, we may never know theactual percentage we must makein our exams to avoid such drrsti smeasures as have been. suggestedabout caf tables.

Until we are given that in -formation. the best we can do i sto avoid discussiong matters

• EDMONTON, Alta,—Two east -

It is believed that the reporteddenial of COTC leaves to stu• 'dent harvesters must be a mis-take. The order is now being in .vestigatd.

RANDOM RAMBLINGS--(Continued From Page 2)

we stepped on a the traditionaltwig.

"Who are you?" demanded thegentleman with the chart, whenthe other two had laid us lowan instant later and we stood un-nerved in a circle of glintingswords and horse pistols. Wesuddenly realized the strangerswere wearing whits bneahem,buckled shoes and cocked hate.

We explained everything in aconfused babble .

"An Englishman of some sort,probably a settler," said theman with the lantern. "Shell wekeep hint to; questioning, Cap-tain? "

They introduced themselves asCaptain George Vancouver, andLieutenants Puget and Brough-ton, of His Majesty's Sloop "Dis-covery ."

"Ghosts . . . !" we gasped ."We stepped out of the pic-

ture in the Library wall over anhour ago, and not a soul in theplace had missed tie," Puget said .

We swallo*ed once ."Do you do It often?" we quer-

ied .Every night at midnight for

months now,” he said . "All thenaval and military ghosts in\Eng-lish history go on duty at twelveto haunt Mr. Chamberlain an dLord Halifax . Drake takes hisdrum along and dins It in theirears. "

"I can't understand all this mo-dern nonsense they call states-manship," exploded the Captain ."Don't these people in parlia-ment realize that any English -man can lick nine foreigners whil ehe has an ounce of dry powde rleft or a sound arm end a cut -lass? "

"And what about these gunsthat were ' going to be put ou there?" demanded Broughton . "It' sfortunate we decided to surve ythe emplacements ourselves or tit ajob would never have been done .This chap McKenzie is going tocome in for a little haunting, too ,when we report this to Drake! "

"But it all seems such a need -less expense while there's theMunro Doctrine," we began .

"A good flogging is what youneed, m'lad," said the Captain .

The three leaped as one man ,there was a crash, then darknes sand silence, broken only by th edistant moaning of the wind .Someone was shaking our shoul-der .

"Come on, wake up or we'l lmiss the last bus!" said theGenius .

Slowly we picked up our hea dfrom the Library table and look-ed at the painting over the door -way. The Captain was back o nthe deck of the "Mexicana" talk-ing casually with the Spaniardsand the Indians . Behind himBroughton smiled sardonically ashe looked across at the clock .

Two more hours and they woul dstep out again . Sometimes wefeel mighty sorry for Mr. Cham-berlain .

• VARSITY'S HIGH-FLYING Thunderbirds swarmed allover Air Force Wednesday night at the Varsity gym, to

come up with their second straight triumph of the week-ol dseason. Varsity were determined to redeem themselves afte rtheir unimpressive debut last Saturday, and proceded toout-shoot, out-run, and out-pass the scrappy Fliers.

victory at noon yesterday .Close behind Lee, ran Bob Dav-

idson, Sigma PM Delta entry, wh owas just beaten out In a last min-ute sprint on the last turn of thetrack .

It was perfect cross-countr yweather for the crowd of over 500 ,who had assembled in the Stadiu mto width close to one-hundredcoalpstitors start and finish thegrueWng test—the most popular ofthe Mtn-mural sports.

Micing next to the D.U's in teamstanding was the Kappa Sigmatern; whose runners came In{rouged around twentieth place.$dthid the Kappa Sip in teamcider are Sigma Phi Delta and X IOmega.

.The dramatic incident of the da y

was supplied by yo vg Kenny Mc -Pherson, a student ! the Univers-ity Hill High School, who on beingglutted permission to run in therace trained for a week and ahalf and ran third—just behindLee and Davidson.

There was less of a spread thi syear than last—the two and three-quarter-mile test run over quar-er of a minute faster than last yearand was made slightly tougher byreversing the route . Said DougLee as he leaned against Bo bDavidson for the Photographer "Itwas the toughest rave I ever sin."

The race, organized by M. L. VanVliet and Harry Frankliq, ran offvety smoothly . Theis was no con-fusion at either start or finish, acoral offset being made by hurdlesat the and of the course to makesure of correct order In takingresults.

The victory marks the secondsuccessive win for the D.U.'s. Lastyear Doug lee came in first andDiiidson second—the same orderas in this year's meet. Last year,too, a dark home place among thefirst finishers. He was Billy Hus-band, who placed after Lee, an dwas comparatively unknown on thecampus. This year of course the

/peat unknown was Kenny Mc -Pherson .

The first ten finishers were Dou gLee (Delta Upsilon), Bob David-(Sigma Phi Dolt), Rattenbury (An-glican College), McKenzie (Gam -ma), Seraphin (Rho Rho), HarryThompson (unattached), Ferris(Lambda), Art Johnson (Xi Om-ega), Dave Heyward (XI Omega) ,Walt Green (Omicron) ,

These men will probably be ask -ad to continue training for theforthcoming cross-country meet atSpokane; however, nothing is de-finite on this as yet .

The order of the teams is asfollows:

Big time is right because the Army squad boasts alineup that includes several former Sarnia Imperials andBalmy Beach players from the ORFU of last season. Thesemen are no slouches at the game and as Farina says, "theyare big and tough and dirty . "

'The birds ran through a threehour scrimmage practice on Wed-nesday and added a few new playsto their list . Mr. Van Vliet at-tended that workout and his ex-pslence should add a bit of polis hto their attack .

GAME CLOSER THAN SCOREThe game last Wednesday was

considerably closer than the 53-30score indicates. For three periodsthe Thunderbirds led the AirForce boys, but not by ainythinglike tie huge margin they finishedup with. The reason for this isfound in Coach M. L. Van Vliet'slatest strategy which is to dividehis club into two teams and playeach team for half the game . TheFliers had a hard enough timebattling one Varsity team but toengage two of them, a fresh oneevery quarter, was a little toomuch.

After dropping behind 13-8 atthe end of the first quarter, AirForce played on even terms withthe Collegians for the next twoperiods, to go into the last cantobehind 32.24. In this last session,the men of Mayers finally wiltedunder the terrific pressure thatthey had sustained and vainlywatched Varsity pour in 31 pointsto the Fliers' 8 .

TWO COMPLZTE SQUADSAs mentioned above, Mr. Van

Vliet divided his boys into twosquads. The first one of these(guards Stilwell and Yorke, centreBakken, and forwards Sykes andHayward) played the first quarterand rolled up thirteen points totheir opponents' six . The otherfive (guards Franklin and Johnson ,centre Kermode, and forward sBarton and Robertson, came ou tfor the second quarter and gath-ered six points to the Air Forces 'five.

The third session saw the returnof the starting five who played oneven terms with the Airmen, eachside getting thirteen points. Thefourth quarter completed the nose -dive of the Fliers.

It would be hard to pick the in-dividual star of the Thunderbirds .

e

ox

They all played well, no man get-ting less than three points. It thetime ever comes, when Coach VanVliet has to pick five regulars, hewill have no easy task . There wasonly one-point difference betweenthe points picked up by his twolines, Messrs . Franklin, Johnson,Kermode, Barton, and Robertsonpicking up twenty-seven points tothe twenty-six gathered by Stil-well, Yorke, Bakken, Sykes, andHayward .

Si UTTLEWORTH TOPSThere was no question as to who

starred for the Air Face . BigJim Shuttleworth received thathonor with ridiculous sass. Hosunk one-third of the twenty-onefield goals he attempted and con-verted four of his eight free shots.He was the one thorn in the Var-sity flesh and Komodo and BA -ken, who aren't exactly slouches,couldn't touch him. The rest of theMayers' men weren't much prob-lem to their Varsity cheeks, al-though they were dead game andhustled all the way.
