By BRIAN WHARFThe late Sigmund Rom -

Although, in the main, th eentire cast of 42 played extreme •ly well there are two chief rea •atlas why the operetta shoul dIbe welhrecsived .
The first was Mills Andrewplaying in the role of Kathie,the serving girl with whomPrince Karl falls in love . MissAndrew's clear, rich and sue .prleingly powerful sopranovoice marks her as a trulygroat singer. Her acting, toowas faultless as she entere doomplilelY ihto the part ofthe pert young waitress .

Faculty of Forestry led th efield in the "bloody" contest ,reaching 200 per cent of their in .ittal quota. Thin-blooded lawyerswere the .only ones not reachingthe point set for them on the bigthermometers — they collected amere 88 per cent of their quota, i,

There are two possible proce-dures, Under the first, a studen tmay have a Council member pro -pose the amendment and have i tembodied in the Council's minutes .Under the second, a proposedamendment must be postal in
Prince's personal valet . Thiscomic role could, it playe dweakly, easily degenerate intoa burden .
Yet Young, by his superb act-ing ability had the entire aud hence waiting for his appearan-ces. One could sense the pleas .urable anticipation that rippl-ed aroung the auditorium whe nLutz strode pompously onto th estage .
.Young was ably supported by
his valet Hubert, played byGerald Lecovin. The two werean, excellent comedy team .

Kelvin Service gave a per-formance in his portrayal ofPrince Karl the leading cheat•ter of the operetta . His tenorvoice, though mellow and pleas-ing was however not sufficient-ly strong for him to be heard a tall times. Especially in hisduets with Miss Andrew Ser-vice was drowned out.

'wholly satisfactory as Dr .Engel the aged tutor of Princ eKarl. His acting was too stilted ,bat that was most probabl ydue to "first night blues ." Alsohis voice resonant and rich I n
places was forded and a trifl escratchy hi others . Yet with alittle more experience particul-arly in the acting departmen tWatt should be a valuable mem •ber of the club .
Of the minor characters Mar.guerita Stanlow as Gretche nthe maid of all work stood outbecause of her likely and en-tirely natural performance.

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 .

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 .

non-fraternity or sorority mem-
bers simply do not wish t o

In closing I have not mar attto differentiate ourselves Cro nany other group on the campus .We are a part of the 'univer-

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,

BROTHERHOOD WEE KEditor, The Ubyssey
The appreciation of the Boardof Directors of the Canadia n
Council of Christians and Jew s
is extended to the faculty an d
student body of the Universit y
of British Columbia for the ef-
forts they are making to pro-mote the Brotherhood of Ma nunder the Fatherhood of (lod .
Canada will achieve true de-
mocracy only when each personis willing to grant to every
other person the same rights
and privileges he himself de -sires . Brotherhood Week—Feb-ruary 17 - 24, 1952 has bee nproclaimed by the Prime Min-
ister of the country, The tit ,lion. Louis S. St. Laurent as atime when educational pee -grams will be initiated to brlu gabout this desired result .
With the schools, universi-ties, churches, community or-
ganizations and the media ofcommunication throughout th eland directing their attention t o
so worthy a cause the unit ywithout uniformity of our na-tion will be assured .
It is the hope of the board of

versity of British Columbia wil lmeet with great success ,

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-

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

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

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

doing their best to make it two

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
Saturday the Birds will be needling

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.
