'I Like to Start a New Existence'

DILEMMA OF CZECH DP'S 'OUTLINED FOR STUDENT S

(The plight of hundreds of political exiles in Europe should be made ade-quately clear to UBC students in this column written by former AMS presiden tGrant Livingstone . In his travels in Europe last summer, Livingstone realize djust how little the North American continent is doing to help displaced stud-ents . In this column the conviction of one student is made adequately clear . )

By GRANT LIVINGSTONEPresident AMS, 1947-4 8

Last week, just after UBC's splendid plebiscite decision, Ireceived a letter from one who might possibly benefit fro mthat decision . He is a Czech; now a refugee because he sup -ported Benes' party and participated in the Prague studen tdemonstrations of February, 1948,

I met him anti some 20 of his fellowexiles last year in Park and promisedto try to get them admitted to Cana-da . Unfortunately the German Schol-arship scheme last fall cut across th ebows , of plans for refugee scholar -ships . I was prevented ,by ill healt hfrom pressing the matter last spring ,and effort's to have a company sponso rMojmir and a few other this summe ras ordinary immigrants fell through .

For three good reasons I'm passin ghis letter along : first, I hope som ereader or readers might help me t ohelp him . The chief requirement i ssponsorship by some person or fir mable to assure him a year's employ-ment .

Second, this is a clear cut exampl eof how your recently voted ISS dol-lars are needed .

GRANT LIVINGSTONE

Third, I hope the eloquent simplici -ty of his appeal will stir the hear t

and the conscience of enough who read this to raise some voice against th eilliberal, heartless, selfish, and utterly un-Christian—and stupid— . legislationwhich is constricting this wealthy and empty country's immigration polic yto a mere trickle in the face of such desperate need by such worthy people .

Surely Albert Einstein, Jan Bata, Toscannini, surely our own Mario Prizec ,and the host of those not individually great but each giving some andcollectively contributing immensely to their new country their European -nurtured brains, skills and characters, surely these and the witness of history ,are evidence enough of the benefit's to any country of a liberal immigratio npolicy .

Certainly Canada can admit thousands more of the wards of the IRO thanwe have to dates, and we'll benefit in body, mind and soul by so doing.

To come back to the point, I commend to the heart, the thought and th econscience of the comfortable reader this brief letter :

Paris 1 of Octobre 1949 .Dear Grant ,

I begou paedon for writing you without having your answerfor my last letter from this scmmer . I still am hardt truing t oget to Canada the situation is not very excellent for me i nFrance. I can't get a job because I am a foreigner and refugee .The scolarshie I've got last year was just for one year . Now Iam truing to get some job untill I ' ll go to Canada . As I now yo ujust have to send me the labor contract and I'll get easelly th evisa in Paris . I hope that you understand my position .

I like to start a new existence but in France it's inpossibie .I don ' t fear any kind of work and I think that I could get apritty gcocl job later in Canada, I am still working for the Cze kstudent organization, we are now about 300 students in Paris .All the boys you've met last year in Paris are still here and ar ewaiting for further emigration . The situation in Czeosovaqui ais turning very bad for the people . They have been arreste dabout 50 .000 people in 3 clays—after official report from Prague .The situation is going to bad . The Democrates are cleporti nto Siberian and you know what that means . Well, Grant I hop eto hear on a possible about you and please be so kind anddo somethink for me that I could get to Canada .

Sincerelly yous ,MOJMIR BOUCNIK ,

The fund now guaranteed to ISS has many calls on it, all worthy. I' dlike to see the maximum possible number cf its beneficiaries return to thei rcountries to advertise Canada and democracy . I hope ISS will continue t oimportune External Affairs to allow German students, and I particularl yhope that candidates will be sought from South East Asia where democrac ycan be measurably furthered by such a move .

But the vital present need is just the one met by ISS this past year ,namely to bring as many as we can of these IRO students to a permanen trefuge in Canada .

Final revision of the act whic h

would allow MAD to check up on th e

activities of students playing on Non -

university sport teams was passed

Wednesday at the MAD meeting.

REGULATION

Regulation of requiring universityathletes to play on UBC teams in -stead of outside groups, is not newat' this university .

Regulation has been in effect almos tsince the university has been in ex-istence .

MAD, this year taking the bull b ythe horns, has sought to make some -thing definite come out of the act .

IMPROVEMENT

Athletic Directorate is now tryin gto keep this regulation enforced, i nthe hope of improving athletics inthe university .

MAD feels justified in making thi sstand, having written to universitiesacross Canada and some in th eUnited States, in order to see what'action is taken in regard to athlete splaying for outside teams .

Every college in Canada has aruling similar to that at UBC, com-pelling students to play for the uni-versity or receiving permission fromproper authority to play off the cam -

POWER TO FIN E

Act gives MAD power to recommen dthat the student council impose afine on delinquent athletes who d o

not conform to the regulation, tha tis, who do not write MAD for per -mission to play outside the university .

MAD will notify these athletes tha tthey will have the fine imposed upo nthem, and then AMS will carry ou tmeasure, imposing the fine .

The Ubyssey last year warned that th euse of army huts for lecture rooms and

laboratories was a dangerous thing .

Monday night the Law library nearly

went up in smoke . The occurrence onl yserved to emphasize the basic fallacy of

using army structures for educational pur-poses .

Last year, the home economics huts ,Orchard huts, and the Totem snack ba r

burned down . With them went thousands o fdollars worth of valuable equipment, and insome cases, irreplaceable notes and books .

The time has come for the provincia lgovernment to take the proverbial bull by th ehorns and appropriate enough money to buil dadequate facilities for such faculties as la wand medicine .

Students currently involved in angr ycontroversy over the status of universityathletes on downtown teams might well h edevoting their attention to the broader fiel dof BC athletics generally .

The fact that promising athletes whos epresence would certainly benefit UBC team sare playing foci outside clubs is an indicatio nof a fundamental weakness in the athleti csetup. While the state of affairs is regrettabl eit is not unusual at Canadian universities .

The reason 'behind the sorry lack o fschool spirit especially in Western Canad ais what those interested in the purely cul-turtl aspects of education call "athletic de-eiz has-is,"

`'The arguments on both sides are wellknown. But there are few at UBC even i nthe most disheartening years of inter-collegi-ate competition who suggest an unrestricte dprogram of athletic subsidy .

The faculty of medicine, to be completel yadequate, should be housed in a structur ethat will allow for expansion in the futureand yet be large enough for the presen tneeds .

University builders, if they are plannin gto build more huts of the type now used ,should reconsider . No university can con -

' centrate properly on the job at hand, if th efear that the work may be wiped out in on enight is constantly hanging over its head .

More reasonable heads ask only tha tfootball and basketball teams be given sup -port enough to enable thew to come out o ftheir respective seasons with a 60-40 per-centage of games won and lost .

The administration and the student bodyas represented by the MAD seem to beworking at cross purposes . As long as majorsports are rigidly de-emphasized it seemsunfair to demand undergraduate participa-tion .

Anyone who can read, or hear for tha tmatter, knows where UBC has been . Justbecause the stadium fills up on Saturda yis no reason for anyone to get the idea tha tUEC can go on in its present state of affairs111 get behind UBC athletics in a positiv elash ion ,

By VALEAR STEDMA N'Round 'bbut this time every year ,

Christmas exams, Christmas present sand Christmas clothes come to mind .

There was a time when we wrot eletters to Santa Claus . Now we findthere are still more subtler ways t ohint what we'd like for hristmas . Withjust this thought in mind, Cathie, my-self and the spirit of St . Nick wentshopping for a Christmas "drea mdress . " Now one of us was exactly surejust what constituted a "dream dress "but we knew that somehow, some-where, there would he • ne .

As we glanced through the gailydecorated stores we came across su mstunning metallic-striped taffetas ; so-phisticated crepes ; rich brocades an dslinky satins . But somehow, none o fthese were " it . "

All at once, tucked away in th ecorner of a tiny shop, we saw ou rdress . One glance and we hurrie dinto the shop ,

Taking it gingerly from the displa ycase, the saleslady assured ue in he rvery best Parisian French, "Eet is tru ebonne ;" Then to Cathie, "M .edemois-cite eet is your gown," And she slippe dit over Cathie's head and the line sfell into place . I realized that this wa sCathie ' s "dream dress! "

Made of a rich satin brocade, th esoft sea-foam green was a backgroun dfor a slightly softer tone of gree nrose petals . A low, off-the-shoulde rneckline came to a dramatic clip a tthe peak of the snug-fitting bodice .A bisque waistline let fall the ful lflowing skirt, Beneath the bouffan tskirt, a real old-fashioned hoop, and asnow-white ruffled petticoat! At th ehem, two contrasting bows, of lace -brocade, caught up the skirt allowin g

-the taffeta ruffles of the petticoat t opeak out ,

Truly, Cathie was a dream herself !And as dreams go, we know that ol d

Santa will he making one little mis svery happy on Christmas morn, if o nthe tree, she finds her "dream dress" ,waiting.

Mardi Gras preparations are bein g

made and it is expected that the '

'Seattle UniversityFeatures Tall Tea m

By GIL GRA Y

When coach Al Brightman' sSeattle University Chieftain s

take the floor against the UB CThunderbirds tonight at 8 :3O ,

the Birds will be out for blood . Iin three out of four contests wit h

the Seattle group last year, the Bird s

went down to defeat . This year thePomfretmen will be out to avenge lIthat record .

But things will not be easy . Eigh t

returning lettermen are on the Chief-tain roster this year .

Among them are the smooth shoot-

ing Elmer Speidel who counted fo r

so many points against the Birdslast year, teamed with Bob Hind-

quist at guard, and also one of thesmoothest centres playing in the

northwest, big Earl Spangler .

AVERAGE HEIGHT IS G' 3 "

The first string of the Chieftain s

has a height average of over six foo t

three . In fact only two men of th e

fourteen coming to UBC for the gam eare under six foot .

But things will not all go the wayof the visitors, despite the fact tha tthey are fielding an identical team

to last year's .The Birds will feature a tall for -

ward line of Forsyth, Bell, and Munrowhich is expected to give the Chief -rains considerable trouble in the re -bound department .

Oivards Mitchell and Watt will be

playing first string and will ver y

easily make up in speed for what the ylack in height .STRONG RESERVES

The Bird reserves look very goodthis year . Only two men on th esecond string are new to the Birds ,Hudson and Louie . The other three ,Southcott, Walker, and the lank ypivot artist Art Phillips are all play-ing their second year with the outfit .

But most important of all, th eBirds now have one of the most*eking factors last year, experience .

Saturday night the Birds are t omeet the highly rated Clover Leafquintet, in another exhibition, non -conference tilt . In many people' sminds, especially those interested i ncity sports, this will be the gam eto see .

Puil Prevented FromPlaying For Bombers

Permission to allow Thunderbird halfback George Pai lto play for the Blue Bombers in the Junior Canadian Footbal l

final in the UBC stadium Saturday has been refused by MAI) ,because of a Conference ruling ,

MAD was forced to deny permission nto Phil on the grounds that it woul djeopardize his eligibility to play fo rthe Thunderbirds in American foot -ball while he is still at UBC.

Evergreen Conference ruling doe snot allow any football player to par-tieipete in outside team play durin g

or after completion of the regular col-lege football season ,

Conference ruling on infraction o fthis regulation is that the athlete heprevented from playing football in th econference clueing his remaining year sat university .

If Puil were to play Saturday, h ewould automatically he kept fromplaying for UBC as long as he con-tinued to seek his education here . Th econference would see to that .
