    organizers of the Blood drive are to be congratulated .The difference between the usual 1300 odd pints and th e

    pig total is due solely to, their efforts, Their effectiv e

    b1ol

    r fining campaign has demonstrated how susceptible w e#le cajolery and the challenge of competition,

    We -have given 3004 pints of blood . We did not donateblood because we realized the importance of blood plasma ;we bled to outbleed a distant university . This fact may prole 'that we have sporting blood in our veins ; it certainly says noth-ing for our altruism .

    GUEST EDITORIAL ,

    To Do Or Not To DoM

    AN is like a machine ; eif he is not used in the rightway and for the right purposes something goes wrong

    with him. He is also unlike a machine ; first, he can determine

    how and for what purposes he should use himself as a man i .e .discover the rules of ethics or morality, and second, he is fre eto tallow these rules or not . If man follows these directions hewill function smoothly and actually be happiest and freest .

    Man learns these ethical rules instinctively, by traditio n

    and by reasoning . Instinctively, through the voice of cons-cience, he has always known ; taking a man's life is not lik etaking another animal's life; we are bound to live togetherunder certain rules; sexual intercourse has to be containe dwithin given limits ; we are bound to look beyond things t othe Invisible .

    Other men's experience, self-reflection and thinking als oSl}ow him the best rules. He can•see that excess in food, drinkor sex makes him unhappy or that stealing and killing caus edisorder and he himself ultimately suffers . Reason concludesthat a good general rule is that man will be most happy if al l

    'his desires are moderately fulfilled .

    Christianity tells man his most important need or end isGod and that he will be most happy if all his other needs ar esubordinated to attaining God . It gives him the directions t odo this, helps his weakness and through Christ supplies thatnew life required for the finite to attain the Infinite .

    Many today dislike moral rules considering them unna-tural, man-made rules which interfere with the normal de-velopment and evolution or man into a higher type of being :witness Nietzsche's "Beyond God and Evil" ; Existentialism' sdemand for absolute liberty e .g . Sartre's "No Exit" ; the Corn-munist desire for a classless society which could ,not be ifmen remained as unequal in brains, personality and strengthas they are now.

    Blind, trial and error evolution may he normal for being swithout reason and freedom who cannot determine/or them -selves the best and quickest way to evolve . But it would b eanti-evolutionary for man to refuse to use his higher powersof reason and freedom and subject himself again to the blindlaws of chance . There is one unquestionable type of evolutionin man and it consists in his deeper understanding of himself ,his needs, his rights and his purpose .

    BACKWARD TYPE

    Editor, The Ubyssey :

    The weakly humorous Mr,

    Coon has the right to thin k

    and express whatever h e

    chooses. I do not agree that

    you should be wasting valu-

    able space to do the job in ou r

    paper .

    Mr. Coon represents a back •

    ward type in this country wh o

    refuse to accept the fact that

    a mature utterly independent

    'nation, as we are today shoul dhave some national emotiona l

    outlet so vital to the well -

    being of , every nation. The

    people in the U.S . have found

    it in wooden actresses, burn t

    out beachcombers and rein-

    forced brassiere . The morality

    of public officialdom has sun k

    fantastically low.

    if anything is to keep us

    from descending to this bitter

    level of adjustment, it will be

    the high moral influence of a

    solid monarchy backed by a

    worldly king or queen. We

    cannot, as Mr. Coen would

    have us, do faulty lip service

    to this idea. This is faulty an d

    dangerous thinking.

    Mr. Coon's humour has al ;

    ways seemed to me ineffective .

    lilts column, to say the least ,

    is soporific and unintelligen t

    If you must keep him goin g

    Me. Editor, at least confine

    him in his tree and protect

    the rest of us .

    DISTASTEFU L

    Editor, The Ubyssey

    Mr . Coon's laughing face

    could not prevent me from

    taking seriously' his two dis-

    tasteful articles about the dead

    King George 1'1 . Although Mr .

    C. did succeed In putting too

    much sense In his lines, his big

    ideas peeled off the tree he

    sits on, can easily annoy.

    I am not a British subjec t

    and I am as emotionally tie d

    up to Britain as perhaps Mr.

    C. 1a to Ethiopia, but never-

    theless the sad event of the

    Monarch's death touched my

    heart and not the brain as in

    Mr. C.'s case .

    I cah assure Mr . C. that coun-

    tries which have nothing to do

    with Great Britain paid great-

    er and sincerer tribute than I

    could see around Ime here .Would Mr. C . spend a minuteto think why? If he can't fin d

    the answer I would advise him

    to climb clown from the tree

    --perhaps then he will under-

    stand.

    The death of a man such as

    George VI, is not a very prope rsubject for critical comments.

    Even the Russians realizedthat! Mr, C . tries to justify his

    statements by referring to hi s

    "great teacher" Barry Mother.

    If Mr. Mother says so, the n

    Mr. C. you are right ,

    4n conclusion I would stress

    how I liked 'Mr . C,'s logic. in

    his first sentence he pleads for

    our connection with Britain

    as a very valuable one, as a

    definite step towards a worl dcommunity of nations. Butlater he wants us to act ascitizens of a grown-up nationand to condemn the declaringof Elizabeth as queen of Can-

    ada as an act of a colonial gov-ernment .

    UNBROTHERLY SENTIMENT S

    Editor, The Ubyssey,

    Messrs, Lyon and Dadson

    have chosen Brotherhood Wee k

    as an appropriate time for ex-

    pressing their unbrotherly sea •

    timents concerning fraternitie s

    and sororities .

    Aside from the fact that they

    are not members of a frater-

    nity, and hence are hardly qual-

    ified to discuss the matter, Mr .

    Lyon's attitude seems particu-

    larly out of place in one wh o

    has difficulty in obtaining th e

    support and confidence of th e

    Students' Council .

    According to these brethren ,

    a fraternity is a campus body

    formed with the avowed pur-

    pose of excluding all racial and

    religious elements other than

    the accepted few . In reality, fra-

    ternities are self-supporting ,

    self•regulafing campus group s

    containing students from al l

    walks of life. They have no

    political, religious or moral ax e

    to grind. No other universit y

    organization can claim to re-

    present as, many diversified

    campus point of view as the

    fraternal bodies .

    Imposing on none, the frater-

    nitles and sororities as a "min •

    ority" group will continue to

    give their Alma Meter the high

    quality of leadership and ser-

    vice which they have so freel y

    dispensed In the past .

    BCE CRITICIZE D

    Editor, The Ubysse y

    The CCF Club views w ;th

    consternation the proposed in -

    crease In transportation fares .

    There Is something drastical-

    ly wrong with BCE set-up, Near-

    ly all major Canadian cities

    have cheaper fares than th e

    present ten cent fare here . How

    come ?

    The BCE is becoming a sort

    of supergovernment. A fewdays ago, civic officials t o

    North Vancouver were inform-

    ed they had to consult the BC E

    before they could reduce the

    fares of their ferries from te n

    to five cents. In other words ,

    the elected representatives of

    the people, who own and oper-

    ate these ferries, cannot reducethe fares without the consent o fthe BCE .

    This is certainly a public uti-

    lity that should be operated

    under public ownership, as i t

    is In most western Canadia n

    cities,

    forts they are making to pro-mote the Brotherhood of Ma nunder the Fatherhood of (lod .

    mocracy only when each personis willing to grant to every

    other person the same rights

    RIGHTEOUSNES S

    Editor, The Ubysse yI' have been reading wit h

    mounting rage the letters t othe editor in the Ubyssey, o nthe subject of the cartoon cafe

    exchange sta .

    a feminine friend, was the

    first to champion the cause

    of righteousness ." At that time

    almost a whole column In you r

    newspaper was wasted. It

    might have carried a worth y

    news story, a paid advertise-

    ment, or, rather than the dri-

    vel it did, a completely blank

    space !

    Inspired by his grandiloqu-

    ent beginnings a number of co-

    lumns in the same vein spran g

    into print. Lesser in literary

    quality of course, but quit e

    equal in unadulterated non -

    sense.

    I was disheartened to see

    an apology in the newspaper.

    But perhaps the magnanimity

    of the editors serves only to

    throw into greater relief the

    ridiculousness of these afore-

    mentioned letters . What a gi-

    gantic lack of thought and per-

    ception must pervade a grou p

    of students who think that on

    a campus such as UBC, racia l

    derision would be countenanc-

    ed by the editors of their

    newspaper, What an insult to

    those editors .

    The latest cry from the rank s

    of the persecuted few comes

    from one who signs himself ,

    "a colored student," and who ,

    In effect, begs excuse for Rv

    lag and suggests, perhaps i t

    would be best If the foreign

    students did not appear on th e

    campus. In his case and in the

    case of any others with an

    equal lack of gumption an d

    delicacy of feeling, I am forc-

    ed to agree that that woul d

    be a most intelligent plan.

    The majority at UBC wel-

    come foreign students on th e

    campus. They are liked for

    their individual personalitie s

    and are respected for the con-tribution they make to the un-

    iversity as a whole. The fact

    that all students on the cam-

    pus are valued for their tru e

    worth rather than on the basis

    of .theit' nationality, color, o r

    the particular slant of thei r

    eyes has been made signall y

    obvious by the recent outcom e

    of the AIMS presidential elec-

    tion .

    We should show great pit y

    for the individuals represent-

    ed in Mr. Loosmore's, and in

    other letters, who showed

    such a misplaced avidity of

    perception as to derive any-thing damning from tha tharmless cartoon. Since theyhave, one must assume eitherthat the damnation is deserv-

    ed, or that their intelligenceis on a par with the now fa-

    mous ape in the picture .The members of the engi-

    neering faculty did not develo peditorial diarrhoea over th e

    fact that said ape was dresse din an engineer's sweater . Forthe simple reason that th3yhad the good common' sens eto realize that the cartoon wa smerely an innocuous bit o ffun ,

    The hypochondriac can al -

    ways find a disease for him •self. Likewise if the foreignstudents wish to find persecu-

    tion factor's around the cam-pus it will not be difficult .

    Let'r smarten up ; we nee al lpeople here and most of u s

    realize it .

    ver beer mugs, ao that they would

    be in the right place at the righ t

    time .

    JOHNYEOMAN,

    IAN AND GO Din Chapel, don't you,"

    Ian looked gravely Millthen away. '

    "How out you hears wLAi, I

    yell down your nook?"

    Ian smiled a little, and farplied "Oh, its' e`aay, I .

    . "Think your pretty musiotil ,

    Saturday was a good day.

    'Classes ended at 112 o'clock, the

    whole afternoon was free, it

    was almost 12 now.

    fan hoped that the other

    boys would start a game of

    soccer after lunch . He knew

    that they wouldn't mind him

    Joining in because he playe d

    full-back on the junior team,

    and he hoped some day to 'be-

    come a detenceman on the

    senior , team. Mr. Peters' hadeven mentioned his name In

    front of the school's 93 pupils,

    after the Juniors had won an

    Important match against St .

    Martin's. He said that Ia nmight become a good player

    it he kept up the fine way In

    which he always led the bal l

    to the t+orwards (Ian had a

    powerful kick for his age, )

    even though he should become

    a little more aggressive in his

    play. True, Mr. Peters had

    mentioned seven other playersby name. But anyway, Ian

    could write home to his par-ents and tell them only whatthe headmaster had said abou t

    him. Then they'd think . . . No,

    they'd know the truth and

    laugh. They always laughed at

    him, Well, what if- he wasn't

    good at soccer, he was good

    at singing . Mrs . Black said hewas. And painting. He was th e

    best in the class . Jones was a

    dirty bully for 'plashing paintall over that picture of th ejug and the bananas. He didthat to everybody, but they al llaughed. Even though Ian gotangry, Jones did it, worse tha n

    to the others . Ian couldn't un-derstand it. He wished that h e

    could laugh like they did . Oh ,

    damn them, anyway.

    'The bell went, meaning that

    the weekend had started . Ian

    ran off to lunch, shouting withthe others as loud who could.

    It was biasing hot that af-

    ternoon, but the soccer play-

    ers didn't mind that . They ran

    and shouted and kicked the

    ball with as much zest as they

    had done an hour earlier whenthey started the game .

    Ian was reading in stops an dstarts, not concentrating onthe book at all . He was sittin g

    on the ground with his bac k

    to the woodshed, which was

    about a hundred yards fro m

    where the fellows were play-

    ing .

    "Hey, come on Ian," Ken•

    noth had shouted as he led a

    crowd to the soccer field a t

    the run . Ian had almost jump-

    ed up, but stopped as Ken

    yelled to the others and paid

    no further attention to him.

    "He calls himself my, bes t

    friend," Ian thought, "but he

    really prefers the others . I'm

    too different . . , he Sete bor .

    ed . , . of course, I really don' t

    care, 1'11 read ; ill show him I

    don't care . "

    Then he put the book down

    and joined in the game . He

    liked soccer, too much .

    Kenneth was on the other

    side and was one of the for-

    wards. Mr. Peters said that

    he. showed more promise than

    any other of the juniors.

    Though a little erratic, the

    Headmaster said, Kenneth was

    very aggressive, always fol-

    lowing up any advantage he

    had. "I bet I 'll be as good a s

    him though . . . when I get

    on the Senior team, " mutter-

    ed Ian as he took his place

    Of all the exhibits planned

    for UBC's mammoth Ope n

    House 1952 to take place

    March 8, the one most popular

    with high school students and

    the "small fry" will probabl y

    be the School of Education dis-

    play .Their exhibit will illustrate

    the little red school house o f

    days gone by, complete wit h

    old fashioned text books, a

    blackboard and a curriculu m

    made up of large doses o fReadin,' 'Rion,' and'Rithmetic, '

    Beside it will be an archi•

    in front of the goal mouth, alittle to one side.

    Kenneth was runnthg down

    the field with the ball at his

    feet. Ian trotted over to inter-

    teat him. A quick flash of his

    bopt, though, aad'Kenneth was

    by him like a flash.

    With' a quietly snarled sob,

    Ian kicked at his best friend'sfoot, trapping him. After-

    wards, Ian's mind repeatedover and over to him how

    Kenneth had yelled, "You

    fool!" and the other player s

    booed and jeered, and how he

    himself had laughed at themand run off by himself to pry,

    in the bathroom,

    'Midday on Sunday was ver yhot. Jack, who had a thermo-

    meter, was very excited be-cause it wa gs 1.00 degrees inthe shade. He had a chart, andhe said that this was the ho t

    test day for that month in thelast dive years . Jack was anice fellow. Ian liked him be-cause he was quiet and, beinglame, could not go in for sports

    very much, except swimming

    He was good at swimming . But

    Ian was the school champion

    in the juniors ,

    Ian went down to the thicket

    around the old well, where hecould lie down , in the tall

    grass, burnt yellow at thi s

    time of the year, and look at

    the sky and the mountainswithout anybody being able to

    see him at all .

    He liked the mountains . He

    liked to imagine himself clim-

    bing to the top of the bigglacier near the summit of thatmountain, 12,1000 feet, 13 ( 000

    feet . . . up, up.

    Last night he had dreamt .

    about climbing. He was with

    Peter Cawley, the school cap-

    tain, and both were very tired

    as they neared the top of the

    mountain . 'Ian remembered

    how Cawley showed him the

    best footholds. He also remem-

    bered a funny weak feeling i n

    his knees .

    At the top of the mountain

    they found a very springy div-

    ing board . Ian dived oft and

    soared up Into the sky, his

    arms outspread and a fun-

    ny smile on his face ; sort of

    happy and sad. As he hoveredin the air, Ian could see noth-

    ing but huge mountains below

    him, all covered with allow,

    like lumps of ice cream. He

    thrilled at the sensation of al-

    titude.

    Ian's mother said that yo u

    get close to Heaven in themaul talns . And she said that

    everybody is happy omen you

    are close to Heaven. Like

    when you erg in Chapel . You

    feel a sort of feeling inside ,

    that everything Is alright, an d

    that God will help you. Some-

    thing like in his dream las tnight, when Cawley had guid-

    ed him up the mountaln•aide .

    That morning he had sung

    in the chapel choir as usual.H.e was the leading soprano.

    He sat right up in front of ,h e

    tect's model of one of the ne w

    concrete and glass buildings ,

    flanked by modern texts and o n

    the blackboard, a modern curri-

    culum with its 147 elective sub-

    jects. Above this will be a

    quotation from the U.N. 11111 o f

    Human Rights dealing with

    education .Another exhibit that will at-

    tract owners of home chemis-

    try sets is planned for the Chem-

    istry Building . Here makers o f

    home brew will be asked t o

    come and see if they are drrut k

    and will be invited to inspect

    basses, he wore lout trousers .

    Among these elder boys was

    Peter Cawley, who generally

    sat right behind Ian . He was

    not a very good shier, but he

    was the captain of the Sou-for soccer team and often gave

    lea advice on what to do andwhat not to do, "Go after him ,

    go after him,' he always shout-

    ed ' at Ian .

    Ian used to pray at night forGod to make him as good asoccer player as Cawley was;so that he could allow his frt.ends and Kenneth and Jo

    (who wasn't any good at sport s

    at all) bow important he was.

    He used to imagine whole stor-

    ies about how be would make

    them beg him to play, to save ,

    the school from disaster.

    Whenever Cawley spoke to hi m

    he felt an embarassed thrill ofpride.

    The bell went for tea-time .

    Ian hated to leave the thicket ;

    it was so alone, so peaceful,

    so separhted . And the after.

    noon had gone so quickly. He

    enjoyed the thicket as much

    as he did Chapel . No . . . al -

    most as much .

    He got up pouting and wan-dered across the soccer pitch ,empty now, towards theschool.

    Peter Cawley was walkingacross the earth quadrangle ,between the outer classroomsand the main school building.lie was alone.

    "Are you using your left

    foot Ian?" he said as the Iat•ter approached ► "Oh, I forgetto at times, but . . . "

    Don't" Cawley snapped . You

    must learn to use both you r

    feet in soccer, or else you'r e

    no good."

    "Okay, Cawley, l'Il try to re•

    member . "

    The elder boy laughed . "You

    think you're good at singing

    an alchemist's den ,

    Olt the main floor will lie a

    variety of demonstrations wit h

    a giant magnet, glass blowers ,

    exploslions galore, fabric dye -leg, and a model of your deep

    freeze of the future .

    Downstairs, for those wh o

    can see it, there will be demon-

    stratlons of invisible light, and

    a model magnesium plant . 'l'h e

    annex will show you how whal e

    oil is extracted, and how waxes

    are processed from Lulu islan dpeat .

    nbt"

    den looked id sad pu.again. Ile wished Try muchthat he could laugh . He ter.ed himself to say. "Met WOO.a aloe sermon, wtlnn't it? . . .

    This morning?" "Oh, was it?"Cawley replled with eardalI iand mock interest ,

    "Oh yes, He tallied

    x111about , . .

    "For godsakes gI don't care

    what he said. Why should I

    Come on, or you'll be late. and

    I'll report you . "

    Jan wits quite dumbfounded .

    The service had been so aloe

    and sleepy and pleasant. Caws

    ley was always right shout

    things, yet be laughed at the

    sermon . . . at the sermon.

    The world was turning insid eout, surely.

    ian ran after Cawley . "Rev

    erend McDermot IS sort o f

    silly, isn't he" ."Course he

    le," laughed the big bay . I

    don't believe in OA "

    There wasn't much to do

    at study period that evening .

    But Ian didn't want to writehome, He Just sat and let his

    imagination ply all moos4him. Then he became aware ofKennet)) neat to him, 4$ by

    FIRST HALF TIRS

    Front row men Charlie Brum•

    well' and Frank Gower scored both

    of the ' first hhif ties . Brumwel l

    carried three Vancouver .mon ove rthe, Una with him as he bulldozed

    through the Reps defence from a

    lino out. Gower, after breaking u pa Vancouver attack dribbled th eball past all defenders, picked u p

    and charged down the field .

    Hooker Bill Mulholland com-

    pleted the forwards share of the

    scoring as be converted three ou t

    of four attempts . Convert kickin g

    has been one of the weakest point s

    of the Birds and if Mulholland co ltinues to boot them over with

    such machine like regularity oneof Coach Albert Laithwalte's big-

    gest headaches will be solved .

    MAIN INJURE DBut If one problem has bee n

    solved an even larger one came a s

    a result of Saturday's game . Cap-tain Gerry Main, one of the bestplayers and leaders in local dir •des, was severely injured.

    Although be refused to go off

    the told and played the remainder

    of the game in right wing th e

    charley horse he suffered in th e

    early part of the second half wil l

    be enough to keep him from play-ing perhaps for the remainder o f

    the season .

    Right' winger George Pull, play-

    ing in Main's inside position wa s

    the first back to figure in th escoring. Making one of his tricky ,

    baffling runs Pull successfull yshook the Vancouver defence ,Then, when the game was nearl yover Pull did a repeat perform -ante but on being tackled passe dback to Main who was able toamble across the line to complet ethe rout ,

    GAM' NOT GOODDespite the li fressive scor e

    and the equally impressive show-ing of the forwards the game wa s

    one of the worst of the entireseason. Repeated fumbling by bot hsquads And particularly by th ethree lines happened all too fre-quently throughout the game . For-

    tunately for the Birds Vancouve rwas by far the worst offender an dthis coupled with the forward' sopportune playing made the differ .enoe,

    '

    Steve Gryschuk was the marks -

    man for the Birds on Wednesday

    shooting in three goals and assis -

    ting In four others. Haas Youngwas next in line with two goal s

    and two assists with Gunner Bailey

    0

    e

    doing their best to make it two

    straight .

    By virtue of two strenuous Drac •

    tices and a couple of vigorous peptalks the Thunderbirds really'pour- tied on the pressure. With thOtr

    big two game series with 'U'. ' of

    Alberta this coming Friday ' , and

    It was Stets Grysehuk's secondhat-trick of the season which car-ried a vague promise from ' th emanager to buy him a hat aroundthe vicinity of Denver, Colorado .'

    GUNNER BUSYBut the busiest man on the Ice

    was Gunner Bailey, From tote open •lug whistle Gunner fore-checked,back-checked, skated rings aroundthe Beavers and altogether did thework of two men . His two goal scould easily have been many more.

    Really Going

    By BRIAN PRENTIC E'Last Wednesday night seems a long time ago but on that

    night the UBC Thunderbird hockey team really had themselvesa big night . They chopped down the Burnaby Beavers by a scoreof 13-6 to win the first game of the semi-finals in the Commer-cial Hockey League .

    Birds really went on a scorin g

    spree in all three periods, They

    led 6 . 2 at the end of the first period ,9.5 at the end of the sandwich ses-

    sion and coasted home by bangin g

    in four more goals in the fina lframe.

    And the most Important thing i s

    that the Burnaby Beavers did notgive up trying to win throughou t

    the entire game . After beating tile

    Birds 5 .3 the week before they were
