His running mate, Mr. X as treasurer, is truly amystery man having not yet divulged his name or policies.How these two men will act together as a team is a matte rof concern to every collegian .

SCHOOLING BIG WORRYOne of their main concerns is

education . Farm income on-the

province to provide adequate

schooling, especially in the lower

grades .Besides the problem of financin g

have difficulty raising enough

money to send their eons and

daughters to university ."How do you suppose," one del-

egate asked, "we can afford to' send

our children to college when farm

level? "J. G. Dlefenbaker, Conservative

member of the House of Commons

to protest against onditiona o f

ConscriptionS.P.C. ClubDebate Topic• CONSCRIPTION, the most im -

portant issue in Canada today ,was discussed from all angles bySocial Problem Clubbers at noonyesterday.

Speakers Betty Dawe and Jun eNewton led the meeting. Bettyurged conscription as best meansfor an all-out war effort whichCanada has not achieved yet."Th war concerns all nations, i s

world-wide and every front is Im-

portant, not manpower . Conscrip -

of home defence"On the opposite side, June arg-

ued that it is the production o fnecessary materials that is so im-portant, not manpower. Cnscrip-tion would disrupt our industr yby taking skilled workers and

putting them in the army . Shealso stressed the fact that con-scription would disunite Canada,

rather than unite it.In the general discussion that

followed, the question of Quebe cwas felt to be very important .

Prof. FlaysCanadianLocalism• SPEAKING to the Canadian

Student Assembly DiscussionsClub on Tuesday, Dr. SylviaThrupp told the gathering tha t

many difficulties lay in the wa yof an ideal socially planned society .

The speaker warned that muchof the heavy industry now beingbuilt up might be worthless afterthe war and could not be included

in a plan. Much seasonal and un-certain employment is graduallybeing eliminated in the new in-dustry ,

"There Is extreeme provincialismIn Canada . The people in B .C. donot seem to be able to see ove r

the coast range . Due to the differ-ent leadership and outlook of th eFrench Canadians I do not thin kthat there Is any satisfactory solu-tion to their problem" the speak-er maintained .

Milk-maids and cowboys wil labound as part of the costumedcrowd, including members of theAggie faculty, which will danceto the rhythms of George Reifel'smusic which will include every -thing from Strauss waltzes to thehog caller's lullabies.

The hall will be decorated with

bales of hay until midnight, an dpink elephants and assorted drag-ons occupy the stage thereafter .

• HINTS OF an extensive A .R.P. program have been Increas-

ingly evident on the campus inthe past few weeks. Although noofficial statement has been issue das to the extent of the preparations,many signs of activity are appar-ent .

On the top of campus buildingsas well as the minor buildingsboxes have been built. All theseboxes contain sand which will beused to extinguish fires startedby Incendiary bombs in case of anair raid . Ladders have been con-structed up the sides of the build-ings to facilitate escape. Numer-oua pails for carrying water orsand to the scene of the fire areplaced arund the campus.

In an official statement expect•ed next week, the details of theA.R .P. will be explained and Itis also possible that regulationsconcerning students in case of anair raid will be 'sued.

THE UBYSSEY

Friday, February 6, 1942

* From The Editor's Pen

Pertinent QuestionsOn Wednesday we elected a new presi-

dent to guide our Alma Mater Societythrough its fourth, and toughest, war ses-sion of 1942-43 . We elected, for the thirdtime in history, a scienceman, who sweptinto office with a platform of rather startlingreforms.

Our newly elected president undoubt-edly was most sincere when he made thos eelection promises . By the results of the poll ,it is evident he convinced a formidable num-ber of students that he could give themthe changes he proposed. But how is hegoing to carry out his promises? Especiallythe one about changing the representationon Students ' Council ?

The election for treasurer takes placenext Wednesday. The election for tilt otherseven council seats is scheduled for theweek after. Therefore, inside of two weeksour new president will have, whether hewants it or not, a new council elected on th eordinary representative system . What is hegoing to do about those seats for the presi-dents of the faculty undergraduate societieshe promised his electors? What, legally, can

he do? He does not assume office until th eend of May .

Promise number two, that all the busi-ness of each council meeting, presumabl ythe minutes, would be published in theUbyssey, was obviously made without con-sulting the Ubyssey. Stories arising out o fcouncil minutes are always published theissue after the meeting. No editor wouldconsent to printing the detailed minutes, asthey would take up too much space, muchof it uninteresting and of no news value .

On paper, those election promises lookgood. However, the question of council re-presentation was gone into only last year ,and was NOT changed at the annual meet-ing. The proposal of printing council min-utes in the Ubyssey is impractical . The las tpromise, that all business to be discussed a tany A.M.S: meeting would be printed inthese columns in advance, is an excellentone, but not new. It has been the Ubyssey' spolicy for years to do this.

It will be interesting to watch develop-ments under the new order . We congratu-late the president-elect and wish him all th ebest for his term of office.

It CAN Happen HereAt a time when so much discussion

about A.R.P. is being carried on downtown,it is fitting that we take stock of the situationon the campus to see how well we are pre -pared to withstand an air attack . Elsewherein this issue an article appears describingwhat equipment has been added to the var-ious buildings and the alterations that ar estill being made by the university carpent-ers. Is this enough ?

Last December, when the .first realscare came after Pearl Harbour, ' the Presi-dent took it upon himself to close the uni-versity at four every afternoon in order tomeet the demands of the blackout . He alsoissued regulations setting apart the thre epermanent buildings as the places wherestudents must go in case of a raid . Sincethe new term began, he has cancelled boththese decrees ; the first for obvious reasons,the second because he did not wish to beheld responsible for the lives of nearly 300 0people by giving them no choice of whereto go under fire (especially when one of thebuildings, Science, contains much highly in-flamable chemical material . )

Therefore, as the situation stands now,

students may use their own discretion fo rseeking refuge in buildings, fields, forest, ortrench (running along the west mall be-tween the armories and the woods) if anair attack comes to U .B.C. In other words ,"TuUm Est", and Heaven help you !

The problem of air raid wardens wastackled at the first of this year by the Wa rAid Council. It was suggested that all menwho are category "E" for military trainingpurposes be made wardens and given acourse of instruction to fit them for thei rduties. The plan was laid before the Presi-dent, who is at present investigating its feas-ibility and practicality.

If suitable instruction can be secured ,the university will offer these men course sin first aid, given possibly by the instructorswho are training co-eds in this departmen tnow, and in the fundamentals of fire-fight-ing, by the firemen stationed at the uni-versity. In our opinion, the establishmen tof such a class to act as wardens is a neces-sity, and one which would be greeted bythe student body with enthusiasm.

Remember, it CAN happen here !

Faculty Forum

By A . C. Cooke

• "HOW DO YOU KEEP up with all thenew books?" people ask professors . The

answer is "You don't, not even in your ownfield." This week I have not even tried, buthave followed the familiar advice, "Whe na new book appears, read an old one ." Em-erson said the same thing, "Never read an ybook that is not a year old." My book-of-the-week was published in 1517, and I a mwriting about it because I find much of i tfresh and stimulating today and many ofits ideas pertinent to our time . You woul dnever guess that from the title, Discourseson the First Ten Books of Titus Livius . "You might very well surmise it from theauthor, Niccolo Machiavelli . Few writersenjoy so sinister a reputation. Out of hissurname, said Macaulay, men have coine dan epithet for a knave, and out of his Chris-tian name a synonym for the Devil .

TEXTBOOK FOR DICTATORSThis ill-repute rests almost entirely on

his little book "The Prince" which manypeople know about and some even read .There you can learn how to win states an dinfluence history by combining force andfraud, the lion and the fox . And there youcan find the famous discussion of the ques-tion "How princes should keep faith" tha tfurnishes the text for many a recent editorialsermon on Hitler's broken promises. But"The Prince " is to "The Discourse" as "TheCommunist Manifest" is to Marx's "Capital . "And like "Capital" "The Discourses" hashad few readers. Now that the book is avail-able in a cheap edition, (Modern Library) ,it may have more.

LESSONS FOR DEMOCRATSIt reveals a less sinister Machiavelli, a

republican, almost a democrat, who sees th egood in men as well as the evil, and who ,in the course of comments on Livy, offer ssome shrewd advice to the men of his own

day—and of ours. The chapter headings a-lone set one thinking of modem applicationsand parallels . Take a few examples : theyneed little comment.

"Men rise from one ambition to another.first, they seek to secure themselves againstattack, then they attack others." Blueprint sin "Mein Kampf" .

"Impetuosity and audacity often achiev ewhat ordinary means fail to attain". Blitz-kriek .

"Fortresses are generally more injuri-ous than useful . " Maginot Line mentality .

"Whoever desires constant success mus tchange his conduct with the times . " Don' tprepare for the last war .

SOUND ADVICE"How to organize the defences of a city

on the approach of an enemy ." Sound ad -vice on A.R.P .

"What qualities a commander shoul dpossess to secure the confidence of hisarmy." General Wavell enumerates them i n"Generals and Generalship," now in th eLibrary .

"Great men and powerful republics pre -serve an equal dignity and courage in pros-perity and adversity . " " . . . I have nothin gto offer but blood and toil and tears at .dsweat . "

"Whoever has to contend against manyenemies may nevertheless overcome them,though he be inferior in power, provided h eis able to resist their first efforts ." We arestill resisting while factories hum .

"Love of country should make a goodcitizen forget private wrongs ." Victoria an dOttawa papers please copy .

Though Machiavelli wrote four hundre dyears ago, perhaps, because he knew huma nnature and dealt realistically with some o fthe permanent problems of politics and war,he has a message for democrats as well a sfor dictators .

MEMORIES THAT BLESSAND BURN

Four years of university life arebound to leave impresions . Factis though, that some of the im-pressions are far from academic. . . like the first English 1 lecturefrom Freddie Wood, whose bitin gstyle has since been copied byOscar Levant . . . and the surpriseyou get after four years of highschool when you see studentssmoking in U .B .C. halls . . . andthe time I fell into bad grace withthe President's secretary by justcasually mentioning that he hadgiven the same address to thefresh class two years in a row.Even a comparison of the twonews reports failed to convince he r

. and the day two membersof the discipline committee invite dthe press into the Council office,locked the door and served th edrinks.

More memories . . . when Mal-colm Brown and Struan Robert-son together with yours trul yformed the struggling infant nowknown as the Radio Society . . .still struggling . . . when Sprin gused to be greeted in the old Pu bOffice by reporters jumping ou tthe windows . . . when the firstcampaign to build Brock Hall fel ldismally, a flop . . .when the in-creased fees rumpus threatenedto split things wide open . . .

THE BELLS STILL TOLLIt seems somebody is wrong.So frequently you hear cement-

ators on our modern life expressdespair because "higher education"is robbing our young people of theideals and ambitions they had inthe "good old days." One of theexamples put forward by suchprofessional weepers is that girlswho go to university lose thei rdesire to get married .

To my memory, few universitygirls lose their desire . And thisweek two ex-student wedding scome up to puncture that belief.

Nevertheless, university grad-uates seem to approach marriagewith a slightly different attitudethan some others . Take the aver-age girl . She falls head over heel sfor some chap, marries him forthe simple reason she wants toshare life with him, and provid ehim with some reasons for incometax exemptions.

Sometimes your "educated" gir lattacks the problem from a differ-ent direction. The initial fact offalling in love is probably thesame, although sometimes thisgirl will be a little more coldl ycalculating in her approach . Sheprefers the man with the down -to-earth, steady type of work . Sh ehas been taught about the "goo dlife" and has been educated amidsurroundings that make it hardfor her to face possible hardshipand personal sacrifice . In herchoice of a man she tries to avoidsuch a possibility.

Not that she is too soft for hard -ship. She just believes that if shecan get along without it, sheshould . Another considerationweighed carefully by the univer-sity girl is — what Is the menta lcapacity of this man? If he is notuniversity trained, then she runsthe risk of being too clever forhim — or at least, too outwardl yso .

There are a good many othe rpoints in this discussion that couldbe brought forward. In fact, thereis probably the basis of a livelydebate in the thing. I've mention-ed it here only because it happen-ed to cross my mind — and be -cause somebody reading thismight like to take 'sue with m ystand .

one of those journalistic incon-sistencies that inevitably resul tfrom commercialization of th eprinted news medium. The paperrecords faithfully on the frontpage that junior class presidentHugh Ritchie has ruled "no flow-ers at the Junior Prom, "

• LETTERS TO '

THE EDITO

(Following is a letter from a nAlberta exchange student . )Editor, The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir :

Being an exchange student atthe University of Alberta has beena mixture of fantastic and wond-erful experieces, so I thought I' dwrite and tell the students at U .B .C . about one of the most gro-tesque so far, namely, the Med -Engineer Competition In the Am-bulance Fund Drive.

The underlying purpose of thisdrive — the buying of a »500 am-bulance by the students of theUniverstiy of Alberta — seems tobe bf minor importance, and th ereal problem has been "whichfaculty, the Meds or the Engin-eers, can get the most pennies,nickels, dimes or dollars to uphol dIts prestige . "

The original idea was for eachgroup to have a mile of pennie sextending across the campus i nthe form of a V for Victory . AUcontributions, no matter' how small ,were to be gratefully accepted .CALCULATION

However, it seems that one o fthe Engineers, having paced hi sMath 102, calculated that if eac hstudent were to contribute onedollar, the quota could be reache,ialmost immediately. Thus, withthe idea of getting (and may Isay in any possible manner) acherished dollar from each student ,Meds and Engineers took theirposts at the entrance to the campuson that fateful day when th estruggle was to begin .

To the majority of the students ,sleep-walking to an eight o'cloc klecture (they do have them here! )it was just like a nightmare to begreeted at the onset of the day,by figures resembling OrsonWelles' "Men from Mars." At firstsome delicate little six-footer, cla din his baby sister's clothes woul dsmiling enquire, "Have you pai dyour dollar yet? "OH, NO

If, through stupidity, you justas smilingly nodded "No", andwere pushed along by those behin dtrying to escape their persecutors ,you were faced by another fiend ,arm'd to the teeth with axes ,sledge-hammers, etc . This time,no questions were asked . By thetime your eyes had become ac-customd to the pistol which wasin between them and the glaringred flannels, another monster ha dsearched your pockets and take nwhatever looked like or felt likemoney.

The agony of seeing your much-needed lisle hose money wrenchdfrom you was aomwhat soothe dwhen a sympathetic-looking indi-vidual apprached, gently raise dyou to your feet and gave you alittle button which was proof ofyour patriotism and valour. Afterunsuccessful attempts to, regai nyour only means of subsistence for

pared . There may be lots of thingsabout this paper that a newspap-erman wouldn't like, but the stu-dent readers may be assured thatthey are getting close to the bes tcampus news coverage in Canada .

It is not the job of a universit ynewspaper to reflect the cultureof the campus, That can be reserv-ed for the time when U.B.C. cansupport a monthly magazine . Inthe meantime, in the necessar yjob of telling the student bodybody as a whole what indivduaisor groups are doing, the Ubysse ydoes a smart job .

Probably the best .

BASKET ABUSE• THE SILVER Salvage basket s

about the campus are appar-ently unsuccessful as callectionshave been pitifully small . Stu-dents have been using them a swaste baskets for everything fro mrubber bands to orange peelings .

Those students with guilty con -sciences can ease their minds ofthese unpatrotic deeds by pur-chasing War Savings Stamps a tth AMS office, They're on salenow .

the next month, it was with afeeling of i,r!de that you stagger-ed off to class, proudly displayin gyour insignificant little accessory .

SOARINGHowever, in view of the fact that

the fund was nil on Monday, Jan-uary 26, and had soared above$1600 by Thursday noon—it seemsas if Winston Churchill's state-ment has been put into practice —"Never have so many of us beencalled upon by so few to do samuch. "

It Is a wonderful idea and wellworth trying! At this rate we wil lhave our ambulance in no time !

Sincerely ,—Nan McLeary.

To that end, certain personastrove desperately against thoseforces of boorishness and barbar-ism, similar to those which hav etday the upper hand in Italy.

"The University of Alberta spec-lelizes in medicine, law, dentistryand other such faculties and as aresult the rating of those facultiesat Alberta is very high," Fouk sstated . He added, however tha tU.B.C.'s faculties of Arts andScience are superior to Alberta's .

Another interesting observationmade was that our Student Coun-cil evidently enjoys much morepower than Alberta's . Their Coun-cil Is subject to the whims of a"provost", another name for acensor board, whereas our counci lis free of such restrictions.

"Alberta students are muc hmore studiou9 than U .B .C .'s, beingmore advanced, generally," Fouksstated, "the result of this is thattheir efforts toward the Red Crossand other charities lag behin dours ."

'Todd's loss will be a great one to the soccer club, which

Todd was in his fifth year hereat Varsity, has played all five,and has been captain of the team

On the soccer pitch Toodie wasknown as a clean fast player —always a favorite with the crow d— and invariably turning in hisbest games when the team washard pressed . Besides playing fo rVarsity in the Wednesday, Toddis a member of the Kerrisdal eteam in the Coast soccer league ,

To avoid confusion and to ensure fair play, .each frat-ernity will be made a marker, to be posted at turns, an dthe course will be well staked out .

McLACHLIN ONShores, sparked by Billy Mc-

Lachlin, 'broke through the tightfour man zone defense used byVarsity to score 53 points Highspot of the game came when BillyMcLachlan topped the leaguerecord held by Long John Purve sand Ken 'Hooker' Wright by ring-ing up 27 points in one game, justone point over the record .

Fielding Barton, Kermode, Ryan ,Franklin and Johnson in the firstquarter, the Thunderbirds presse dthe play to make their best shoot-ing of the night . Tricky Art John -son sparked the team to get si xpoints in the first ten minutes.

Varsity was ragged at first, bu tsettled down to show superiorityover the Shores both in offenceand defense . But the scoreboarddidn't do justice to the tears ef-forts, for it showed only 13.11 forthe Blue and Gold at the end ofthe quarter.

In the second round, Shores tookthe edge over Varsity, tying u pthe score, then grabbing and hold-ing a slight lead. U.B.C. 's attackswere strong but their defense wasnot good .

As the period ware on, the Birdsseemed unable to control the playwhen under Shore's basket . HarryFranklin was the sperker for Var-sity, although ,he only scored 2points, and although Sandy Hayplayed iq his spot for a good partof the second trial. The sessionclosed with Shores leading 25-19 .

QUARTER SLUMPAfter the half, Varsity went into

their traditional three quarterslump, showing a sloppy attack,but a stiff guard. Because of thistight defense, most of Shores'goals came from set-ups McLach-lin swished the ball through thenet time and again with uncannyaccuracy . But Varsity managed to

4 get seven points in the ten midutes and the score was 35-26 a tthe end of the third quarter.

The last quarter was the best .The play opened slow and steady ,but wizard McLachlan was stilldropping them through the hoop.With six minutes to go, the Birdsstarted a series of power play sthat took the ball up and downthe floor like a bullet. Longpasses, individual playing, an dwild shots were the rule . But thestudents couldn't get the breaks,and Shores maintained a good lead.

At three minutes before fulltime, McLachlan had a total of 1 9points, and Shores decided to givehim all the shots in an effort t obreak the league record of 26points in a game .

LAST HALF DRIVEBilly sunk two baskets before

the Birds realized what was com-ing off . Then Ryan was left tocover the Jewelers strong man andthe other eight player fought outthe game. But by quick passing,long shots, skill and luck, McLach-lin was able to sink two more t otop the record.

Even the student body presen tdheered him for the performance ,and his record is even more re-markable when it is realized tha the only missed eight shots in thewhole game, and four of thesewere in the last two minutes ofthe game, when the play wasrough and ragged .

The game ended shortly after,with Varsity trailing 52 .39. If theU.B.C. 's attacks had been lesssloppy, and if Barton and Hayhad not played a poorer game tha nis usual for them, Varsity mighthave made a better showing .

The scoring went in this way :SHORES: McDonagh 0, Bardsley

6, McLachlan 27, Glasg 5, Beato n1, Pay 4, Lee 3, Sands, and Nick-erson 1.

VARSITY: Franklin 12, Barto n3, Julien, Ryan 5,, Dean 2, Hay 2,Sully 4, Mottlahawl, Kermode 2 .
