The Daily Ubyssey STUDENTS' FORUM

The old problem of "when i.-

not d senior" is once more coming to the foiWe refer, of course, to the e1h.;ibil'1

regulations governing candidature fur ofton Student Council.

After the confusion which resulted lastyear when several candidates in first year law

objected to being ruled freshmen, a commit-tee under the Undergraduate Societies Com-mittee worked long in drafting amendmentsto the code of the AMS to clear up thesedifficulties.

The amendments were finally passed byCouncil near the close of the year—too lateto cover last year's elections—and the harras-sed lobbieSts went away happy.

It appears, however, that all is not yetright with the eligibility requirements.

Under the terms of the amended Code,Article 1, a freshman is a student registeredin First Year Arts and Science, or its equiva-lent. By equivalent, the constitutional re-vision committee probably meant first yearagriculture, pharmacy, but not first year ap-plied science or law. In any event it shouldat least be made clear.

A Sophomore is a student who has com-pleted his first year and once again the same

ambiguity exists.

How bright and beautiful you look to-night, kiddies.

Standing there, with your hair brushedand congealed jam of daily living washedfrom your faces, you make us think of theghostly forms of all the other kiddies whocame downstairs in their flannelette night-gowns, long ago, and had their little hour.

Well, before we adjust the auto-thermo-stat dial heat control on your spun-glasssleepers, put you in your soybean crib, andplug the lot into the moduflow electricaloutlet; suppose we sit down for a while, andyarn about Old Times.

Long, long ago—about the year 1947—before the state scientists found a way to havebabies born into the world with a cathodetube already installed inside them (substi-tuting efficient motivation by radiofrom national headquarters for inefficient oldfree 1,Vill) a great Man died,

They called him Big Red. Big, becqitt.-.he wit.; tall find strong; Red, becautie of tilt ,

red that gleamed in his hair, He wasknown with infection to millions of peopH,all over the world. No, kiddies, he hadELIC number. You must try to rememberthat this was long ago, in 1947, before theyhad Economic Unit Control numbers fotipeople.

Anyway, kiddies, this big Red died of aheart attack. Perhaps we had better explainthat. A. heart attack, to people of that time,meant roughly what a 'blown cathode tubewould mean to you now. They used to callit Death; but you know it as TerminatedUsefulness. Believe it or not, but those peopliieven used to waste paper writing poermiabout it.

HE WAS GREATThis Big Red was so popular that when

he Terminated, he had his picture printed inwhat they called the Press. When people sawhis fine, aquiline features staring out of thePress, and realized that Big Red had Termin-ated, they somehow knew that somethingrine had gone out of their lives.

We told you that Big Red was a greatMan. Just how great he was, we can measureby holding the record of his life against thestandards of his time.

When people practised monogamy, andanyone who had two wives was a Mormon, abigamist or a scoundrel, Big Red had 368wives. By those 368 wives he had 236 recog-nized offspring. And all that in the space ofthirteen years.

The definition of a Senior—any studen•who hat completed three full year.-i-- -repro.

d improvement over the old defini-tion involving graduating vcitirs, since appliedi-eience students graduate in five years andlaw in five or six Or more.

The most unfortunate oversight, how-ever, is in the definition of a Junior. Thedifficulty is that all members of law with theexception of those holding Arts degrees cango on being Juniors for their entire threeyears.

As it stands, the article states that aJunior shall be any student who has completedhis first year and one other in any facultyand who is not in his graduating year noralready holding a degree.

The regulation has a floor but no ceiling.The danger of this looseness lies in the

fact that older students can run for officespresumably reserved for third year students. . . Junior Member being a case in point.

Council may well tend toward a pre-ponderance of older members, to the exclusionof younger people. Such a lopsided balanceis not altogether just, and 'we sincerely tru3tthat present corrective efforts believed to heunderway in USC will come to fruition beforenext year's AMS elections roll around afterChristmas.

By LES BEWLEY

Strangely enough, he was damned fromno platform, thundered at from no pulpit andflogged from no printshop. In fact, they wereall rather happy to hear about it, and cheeredhim on.

He had little else to console himselfwith, did this Big Red. When it came togetting his share of the good things of life, hewas awfully dumb.

NO TUB, NO NOTHINGHe never owned a radio or a refrigerator,

in an age when even the dumbest citizenknew that he was underprivileged if hedidn't have those things.

He never owned a tin tub, let alone aporcelain bathtub; and when he needed abath, he usually got hosed down. And thatin an age when even the sorriest citizen real-ized that he was one of the submerged oni , -third of the nation, if he hadn't a Pentbrolt,in hinrtelf in.

In fact, he vi;,s probably thii('(I ell hi; itge. [tut\vas nit) dumb to realize it, or because no oil , '

ever the trouble of cionvineinthim of it., he never thought that he was beini;exploited; and be lived a hell offull life, in the bargain. If he ever heard ofneuroses, he probably thought they weresomething, to eat.

He never in his life asked for, or receivedfi guarantee, a contract of employment, t.ahours of work agreement, Or a bill of right..;.

Possibly because lie never believed thathe had anything to whine, complain or gripeabout, he never in his whole life whined,complained or griped, He just seemed happyto be alive.

Boy, was that Big Red dumb!He was so dumb that hundreds of thou-

sands of people (smarter than he, by far)used to feel impelled to stand around andwatch him, with love, respect and admirationin their eyes. They voluntarily drove hund-reds of miles, just to see a dumb guy whokneW only one thing, when the bell rang forthe start; .and that was to do his level best.

PerhiPs, in their hearts, the visitors knewthey' were looking at one fellow who neveriri his life' started a job by asking: "what's inthis for me?"

Well, kiddies, that was the Man theycalled Big Red. His real name was ManO'War. If there is any lesson to be gainedfrom his life, it is probably this — that peopleare too proud to learn from a horse. A horsemight cast his bread upon the waters, butman would rather drain the pond.

Those who read Mr. Dean's letter

last year will not he surprised by

his attack on the International Re-lations Club for having a non-parti-

san approach to world problems. We.lv•pe that this yea•'s 'Food forthouplir V. ill centain some vitaminsnd caloric value and not he all bulk!

'rhos, %via) have followed the club'st•rogress will consider it a real trib-IiIc to the objectivity attained tofind that the only stone that com-munist can throw id it is that itII is not allowed itself to be used asa mouthpiece for propagand:.,HTi \1/4%is not even called a fiAselid.

Most of us knovvi how difficult itin a world delueird with propa-

to if out enough fragmehlsof truth to build up a reayonahlyticeurate concept. I cannot help feel-ing that the philosopher kings in ■ -)u,-midst who came with all the answersare wasting their time at university.

Most of us however are not satisfiedwith the conjuror's simple 'Throw ared blanket on it and it doesntexist' solution, It appears that thoseenlightened souls whose eyes aredimmed by the brilliance of theirsoviet halos are not content withpreaching the gospel to those whoattend the Communist Club, an ex-cellent institution which provides thebias which Mr. Dean feels is lackingelsewhere. They wish further toforce us to put on their red spectacleswhen we study world problems.

WHITE QUEENThe IRC has always had the speak-

ers it wanted, so for that matter has

the LPP club and the SPC; so Mr.Dean, why the White Queen attitude?You will be quite safe under oursystem until your group attempts

to use the strong arm methods whichyour compatriots in Europe are em-ploying. The IRC picked its speakers

because they were considered author-ities on their subjects and Deanseems unable to pin any politicallabels on them, or he would havedone so. Would he prefer us to callon local cell leaders to talk to uson Palestine instead of the Araband Jewish representatives whom wehad? Does he feel that the treatmentof Holland, Germany or Asia byNigel Morgan, Maurice Rush or anyof the campus prototypes would beauthoritative and educational? Whobut the very chosen few would creditTim Buck with a masterful under-standing of the problems of Britain,France, Czechoslovakia and Yugo-slavia and their solution as the resultof a visit , of several weeks?

SIXTH SPEAKERFor the information of those who

were not on the campus last yearI would like to point out that Mr.Buck was the sixth communist speak-er who had visited us at a time when)no speakers from any other partywere permitted. A rather far cryfrom persecution isn't it? In spiteof that, Mr. Dean wanted the otherclubs to present communist speakers

To cite one example, the questionof atentic energy was discus:4d hythe club. The American and Sovietproposals and the Australian cum-

Promise were all presented. The So-viet proposal was examined, not thewild accusations which the Sovietdelegate takes advantage of the Se-curity Council to broadcast to theworld, but the concrete alternativesto the Baruch plan. Those of us inthe club wish to get at the basicfacts,Thot to be subjected to the irre-

sponsible eushing; which Dean re-commends.NAME CALLING

It is all too easy to call everyopponent a fascist and attribute all1,voidcl troubles to capitalism. Some-

times one wonders how it is possible,for people to be blinded by the pat-ent cure-all. In the USSR where onlyone view is presented or allowed andall are endoctrinated from child-hood with the faith, it is understandable, but in our country where thechoice exists—Mr. Gray last yearadvised me to spend some time inthe library getting some of the factson the USSR. For his benefit—thatof those whose only source of in-formation is party pamphlets, Iwould like to say that eight monthsIn the Soviet Union has given meperhaps a more balanced insight inoconditions there than most of itssupporters on the campus of whoseignorance any intelligent Russiancommunist would be ashamed.

CONFUSION

Be careful not to confuse a prc-gressive with a communist but when

you are sure of the identity of oneof their party agents se to it thathe does not get into a position wheiehe can use he club for the party's ownends. It is alarming to see that inBulgaria, Hungary and Poland theopposition leaders who were execut-ed or escaped were not even labelledfascists, as has been the custom. Thiscould be an indication that Russiafeels that public opinion abroad hasbeen so influenced by its propa-ganda that their most glaring actswill not be condoned without even ananti-fascist appeal. If they seizedpower in this country do not forgetthat our Liberal, Conservative andCCF leaders would be the CanadianPetkovs, guilty of conspiracy againstthe party in power.

Those socialists who still cannotsee where their party stands in thisregard should learn, before it is toolate, from the treatment meted outto their members in France and Italy,what their position will be if thisviolent minority seizes power,

At UBC there are some 30 membersof the LPP party cut of 9000, a ratioof 1:300. If they wish to sit and heareverything discussed from their ownone-sided slant there is a club forthat purpose.

If, however, they persist in enter-ing other organizations with the in-tent of using or wrecking them, evenstudents who have been trying tostay on the fence and be broidinindedare going to lose their patience anddo something about It.

Marl I any confidence that suchmoderation bounded Mr. Colawell'i_iambitions, for our economy. he mightwin a disciple. But he was playingdouble tune. With one hand he be-

guiled me with sweet notes of mod-eration and with the other, he beat

the big drum for the faithful.He said that we must subSitute

"healthy" competition for public goodfor unhealthy competition for privategain. There he shows his true colors.That is the basic principles of so-cialism, which must inevitably leadhim, and us, if we are foolish enoughto follow, across the shadowy Rubiconbetween "services" and "production"to the heart of all our creative en-deavour. As for this principle, if hereally believes that an "Order ofLenin" or a "Coldwell's Gold Star"has ever been, or will ever be, till themillenium comes, a greater incentiveto creative effort than personal gain,

then I can only suggest that he carryit back to the schoolroom fromwhence he brought it.

Certainly, if he was dismissed fromhis teaching job because of his poli-tical opinions, as he complains, thenthat government did us a poor serviceto e: pose the country to the knuckle-rapping philosophy of the kinder-garten,

With the frog-jumping contest in the Armory rapidly

approaching, disaster has struck the Jokers—someone has

stolen their frog.

Dick Ellis reported that a suspicious character lurking

around their training grounds had made off with the

champion racer "Skyrocket".

This grave loss however does not dampen the spirits

of the zany club. They have a substitute, which they are

LAURIE DYER, Acting Sports Editor

EDITOR THIS ISSUE—Gil Gray

UNOFFICIAL, BUT STRICTLYAmid a din of well-intoned groans from the reprobates on

the Sports Desk, your humble scribe made his unheralded re-appearance from oblivion yesterday after his rather forcedlayoff. And so, to the kind readers who expressed the hope thatfate had forever banished this menace to journalism from thesheet, we express our thanks—and consolation.

This scribe was in a tough spot: he was a bum out of a job,and was "strictly unofficial." What finally clinched the issue,however, was our big punch line—that since Moyls had grad-uated to better pay, and Dyer had been promoted, Chick wasnow the "Dean of Ubyssey Sports Writers," and with thefoul-tasting mouthful it was all over.

We're On A Winning StreakVarsity's loyal grads received a handsome Homecoming

gift Saturday afternoon when the gridiron edition of the Thun-derbirds finally clicked and chalked up their first win inAmerican Conference play. The victory had eluded Kabatcavaliers in twelve trips to the post—it was a long time incoming; but this corner reckons that with a minimum of breaks,the winning may become a wee bit more of a habit next season,despite the conversations a local city columnist persists inrepeating to his eager public.

The weekly shipment of orchids is tossed in liberal bunchesto Doug Reid who turned in another inspired performance, andon one or two occasions reminded this corner of the subtledipsy-doodling of Squirmin' Herman Wedemeyer; to BobMurphy for a standout exhibition of plunging and running; tofreshman Freddie French for a great display of leather-snagging;to "old faithful" Herb Capozzi and Phil Nixon for some capablebruising play on the line; and to Greg Kabat, Wisconsin, '33,who showed a few of the local drugstore quarterbacks that hecan still produce the goods if given half a chance.

CONDITION GOODThe team's condition is fairly good

and they will be ready to go tonightaccording to all reports gleaned fromCoach Doug Whittle.

Everyone on the team seems to rea-lize that it will be a tough gameand will be prepared to go on thefloor and give their "all" for the dearold Alma Mater.

ATTENDANCE POORIn previous years, the Chiefs have

drawn only small crowds to theirhome games. It is hoped that thisyear interest in basketball on thecampus will have reached the pointthat at least some of the students willfind their way through the front doorof the gym into the game.

Again, game time is 8:30, the placeis the UBC gym, the Chiefs homefloor, This is a pass feature. AMScards will be punched at the galeand Booster passes will also be bon-cured .

All -StudeHoop LoopUnder Way

Next year's basketballing'Birds and Chiefs, the Inter-mediate A and Senior B teamswere seen in action last night.

Since these teams have been ban-ned from the Vancouver and DistrictLeague, a form of house system hasbeen drawn up which allows theSenior B team, the Acadia campteam, and three Inter A teams tocompete. These teams each have aseparate hour of practice, under theguidance of a separate coach.MONDAY GAMES

Each Monday night as well asoccasionally before a Chief game,these teams play in accordance witha schedule that is soon to be postedin the gymnasium. This system ofplaying on the campus will allow theplayers to get in time with basket-ball with no wasted time travellingto gyms.PLAY POOR

But 'back to the results of lastnights card in which Teams 2 and 3met in the initial fracas at 7:15, andTeam 1 met 1 Senior B in the secondtilt. Both games were hard foughtand a lot of spirit was displayed onthe part of the players. Being thefirst scheduled games of the currentseason, both games were filled withsloppy ball handling. somewhat er-ratic shooting and a general tendencyfor players to be a little rough, Thislatter fault is no doubt caused by thepoor condition of all clubs.

GAME SCORESWhen the teams did click though,

they really clicked, and as the follow-ing scores show there were basketsmade. In the game between Team 3and Team 2, Team 2 scraped a nar-row 40-37 win over the other aggra-gation. The boys capitalized on thecalls for rough stuff, sinking a highpercentage of their foul shots. Highmen for the winners were O'Brienwith 16 and Les Matthews with 9,high for the losers were Howe with14 and Kushnir with 8.

In the second game, the Senior Bteam took an early lead and grimlyheld on to take a 44-39 game fromTeam 1. Ex-Joker President DaveHayward swished a mighty 14 pointsthrough the hemp and was closelyfollowed by Senior B team-mate Price

The Championship flight ofthe UBC Golf Club's tourna-ment is finished. Saturday aft-ernoon, after a gruelling morn-ing round which saw DivotmanFsplen lead Doug Bajus by 2holes, Bajus came back to beatEsplen 5 and 3 to become thisyear's UBC golf champion,

Playing on a wet course, underde!'initely adverse conditions, Esplenshot a morning score of 71 to the74 of Bajus.

Esplen did not lose the round be-cause of poor golf, though, but ratherbecause he was not quite good en-ough to beat Bajus. Credit shouldbe given to both these men for theoutstanding golf that they playedall the way through the tournament.

In fact, in six rounds that Esplenplayed in, he had a par score totalfor the six rounds.EARLY RESULTS

To give you some idea of wherethe other good golfers in the flightwent wrong, we will trace the lineof successes of the finalists. Esplenfirst beat Bodie one up, then OrmieHall 5 and 3, and finally Dick Hankyon the nineteenth green.

Doug Bajus passed Granger 4 and2, then Latham 6 and 5, next BobPlommer 3 and 2, and finally Esplen5 and 3. Dave Dale was beaten byDick Hanky 2 and 1,

SPEEDSTERS PRESENTRunning again this year are last

year's winner, Bob Piercy and run-

ner-up, Pat Minchin. From the results

of the Invitational two-mile run at

half-time 41 the Homecoming football

game, in which run Piercy sliced

ten whole seconds off the existingrecord and beat Minchin to the wireby a fair distance, it would seemthat Piercy would have the slightedge in today's race. However, thatrace was around a flat stretch ofground and not "cross country" asis today's event. Things might wellbe different.

FRESHMAN WINNERIn previous years it seems to have

been the style for freshmen like theunofficial record holder Ken McPher-son, Al Bain, and Bob Piercy tocop the laurels. Whether this racewill run true to form will be un-known until that first man crossesthe finish line.

Since the runners have been prac-tising regularly for some time nowand since the entry list is over 100,this may well be one of the bestC1'1) , Country ever to be held to the
