Night Students Bal kAt Education Costs

The cost of education at UBC run s

high for a group of Social Work 57 5students attending night school . AlmaMater and campus building fees in-crease the cost of the course to thes estudents to a total of $34 for one an da half units .

Most of those who are taking thecourse are department heads wh ograduated from the university fiveor ten years ago and who attend a tVancouver Normal School building.

Walter M. Ewing, treasurer of th eAlma Mater Society, has received tw oletters requesting that the eight dolla rAlma Mater fee be refunded . Letter s

from H. E. Blanchard, representin gthe students, and Marjorie J . Smith ,head of the social work department,pointed out the unfairness in chargin gthe Alma Mater and building fees to

these students. No action has been

taken .

Greetings from the good of USA,where men nre men, and women playgames with Italian film directors . Wefrom the Land of the Midnight SinIt+tt the Welfare State bearing tidings

of good will and a case of good swill .The swill is somewhat depleted, an dthe good will was a bit strained b ythe segregation laws in your mal lbut 8% of the time we love every bonein your heads.

You understand, of course, that weUW people are exceedingly dignifiedand shy. From a cultural standpointwe were Intensely Interested In thesweater situation at UBC . There is arumor at Washington that all Is no tbody that looks like body in femalearchitecture . In fact, Seattle is sup-posed to have more tallies per capitathan any other west coast city . Wewish we could tell you more aboutthe subject, but since research is abit difficult, our Information is strict-ly second-hand. As you probabl yknow, anyway, you only get out of aawait the judgment of the growers . "

There Is something definitely ir-teslstable about Canadian women . Atfirst, we thought it was the pungentsmell of reclining musk ox, but furtherinvestigation proved it to he the aro-matic odor of money . Since this is afamily paper, we can't tell you ex-actly what we think of BC women .

Suffice it to say that they do have

their points. And If you think we aregoing to risk expulsion and deport-ation by telling you what thosc '"point sare, you're as loony as a Vancouverstreetcar driver.

Of course, you realize we are almostduty-abound to dish out the flattery .Emily Post would insist that we tel lyou what great people you are, he wmuch we are enthralled by Vancouver ,and what a swell campus you have.For all you know, maybe we hateyour guts, think Vancouver is alousy excuse for a city, and yourcampus is about as invigorating as amildewed cantaloupe . But it isn't thetruth, really . We think your city i sa mighty nice excuse for a vacation,your campus ranks with the best, an dyou have the cutest guts we ' ve eve rseen .

You Canadians do have one quaintlittle habit which caused us no endof trouble . All over town there aredoors marked "Ladies" and "Men" .Not only that, but one place says "Li-censed Ladles and Men" which soundsa lilt vulgar, so we'll change the sub-ject .

We repeat: Underneath those yardsof cloth that women call skirts ,

THERE ARE LEGS.

At the snack bar, the research teamfound their work a bit simpler . Sincethere was an abundance of womenand a corresponding lack of chairs ,many of the yatilig Canadian girlswere perched on the tops of th etables . Getting up off their knees and

whipping out their slide rules, the

Other countries using some of this .UBC-developed alfalfa are New Zea-land, Malaya, Great Britain, De?t. ,mark, Norway and British Hendee*,Moe said .

"Wherever tested, Rhizome hasshown a high degree of cold reslMt-

ance," Moe said . "It is even thrivingin areas north of Ketchican, Alaska

.Other promising features of this

new alfalfa are spreading growth ,higher yield and suitability for pas-turage.

"Already this year we have ordersfor 3,600 pounds of Rhizome seed," .

Moe said. "It is indicated that thisfigure will be doubled by time `furspring planting. "

The alfalfa is now being tested forits resistance to disease, Moo said . •Also under test is Rhizoma's ability toreproduce in various climates .

"Sonic plant varieties show well'inexperimental stations and then fai lwhen seeded on actual farms," Mo epointed out. "While Rhizome ha sshown the possibility of being a veryvaluable to Canadian alfalfas, thefinal appraisal of its worth must nowawait the judgement of the growers ."

Diary Records Change of Heart

By RUTH SIMON

Dear Diary:

Well, here I am in Vancouver with the rest of the Wash-

around, but that I'd learn something up here, too . So some of

the fellows have volunteered to tutor me in manology— a pre -

requisite to an MRS degree .

Washington was never like this, IMy first class tonight was quite almost, hate to have to go back to

disillusioning, and I have concluded Seattle.that UBC men don't make very good

tutors. My date .pent the evening

the merits of various poetic rhym e

schemes. I learned a lot—about thes e

things . And I also learned that th e

Canadians are quite different fro m

our Washington men . I'm sure that a t

this rate I'd never make my grades.

I'd stay a pre-wed major forever .Good night, dear diary . I'll go t o

sleep now and dream of those incom-parable males at Washington !Dear Diary ,Oh, those wonderful Canadian men!

I really learned a lost tonight . Mydate gave me a combined lesson i nastronomy, biology (quick surveycourse only!) and geography . I amnow acgqu'inted with the city o fVancouver — especially with the morescenic spots in Stanley Park .

MKS AT CAF ?'By MARV PETA L

Deep in the underground confines of the auditorium lie swhat may be one of the campus ' most potent harborers o fdisease . Long a UBC joke, the cafeteria cannot continue in -definitely as an object of light humor when there are so manyobvious deficiencies .

The Caf was designed and built back in the days whe nthe University had a planned enrollment of only fifteen hund-red gild, the local beanery was constructed to accommodate aproportionate number 'at mealtimes, ' Today, with the school 'senrollment highly inflated, the cafeteria is all too often filledbeyond its safe capacity . When 600 students crowd into an al -ready inadequately ventilated room that has been designed for

425. the breathing conditions are hardly conducive to goo dhealth.Nt ES AREN'T EVERYTHING

But respiratory systems are not the only parts of th eanatomy that are being abused by the Caf . Frequent and spon-taleous belches in the classrooms seem to indicate that stom-ach are also taking a beating. To clear up this trouble th e

adIitrators of the cafeteria would . . do well to submit foo dsamples to the bacteriological departmen i for periodic analyses .

Inspection t as it is carried on now, is all too infrequent.T*cWi+les are looked over only twice a year, An inspector fro m

the metropolitan health committee . of Vancouver visited thei%teria early this month and has just handed in his repor t

to University authorities. Results of this report have not bee ntire' public.' They should be .COMMITTEE NOT ACTIVE

UBC has a health services and education committee whic hlids as a consultant body and has, among its other duties, thelab of seeing that optimum or near-optimum sanitary conditions

are maintained. This is all very fine and progressive and it i scertainly a step M the right direction . But the health servicesand . education committee has not called a meeting in more tha n

year!, People in high places have certainly ben negligent in their

duties . But if the administrators are at fault, the patrons areonly slightly less to be blamed for the situation in the cafeteria .The mass of crumpled paper sacks, bread crusts and food seep sthat heap up on the Caf floor invite the broom too seldom andvermin too often . The rubbish on the floor is the fault of boorishstudents, not negligent administrators . Sweeping up is done atreasonable intervals but rubbish-flinging students are appar-ently too quick for the broom wielders . .WHO'S TO BLAME?

Regardless of who is at fault, the fact remains there i ssomething rotten in the state of the cafeteria . It may be theadministrators; it may be the operators; it may be the customers .Or—perish the thought—it may be the food .

SPORTS EDITOR SOUNDS OFF .By JOHN THOMPSON .

Nice going, UBC! Some twenty very confused, but grateful ,members of the DAILY staff sat in on our first rugby gam eyesterday afternoon. We weren't exactly unhappy about th erelit,

Once again, it was proven that good teamwork, can oftenovercome other handicaps—in this case, the superior Stanfordweight. We especially appreciated this as we've got a little bi tof it down our way, too, with the Washington basketball team .Before the season, all the experts picked them to finish a ver ypoor last . No height, no experience . That ' s what they said. Butthanks to the same fiery spirit and teamwork as that displayedby the UBC rugby team, the Huskies are playing WashingtonState this weekend with the hoop title at stake . If you don' tmind a plug, may they be as successful as the Ruggers . , .Speaking of spirit, the Braves certainly deserve a lot of suppor tfrom the campus when they play the YMCA Monday nightdown town. They have a swell record and have an even chanc eto cop the city Inter-A title . We understand that the rest ofthe fans ride the Braves pretty hard when they play awa yfrom the campus. They deserve a lot better, so everyone o fyou who possibly can get down town and back the Braves .

as "that insipid, cynical drama criti cwho finds no good in any institutionor field of bemire endeavor . "

Enough preliminaries. Since there

were no plays to play down, at pres-ent, on UBC campus I had .to seekother thing upon which to voice acomment or two. Got a few thingsthere which I obtained as . a result of

a stroll about the campul the other

day .

First stop was the Mice of Asst .Prof Dorothy Somerset . From her I

found out that, despite the lack of

a formal department, there is con-siderable dramatic activity at UBC .

Academic work bn theatre, Professo rSomerset stated, is done under th eEnglish department . From their ef-forts there evolves one great play

production a year. This year's pres-

entation: "Masses and Man," by ErnestToiler.

The Players club is apparently an-

other focal pelnt of campus theeplan

activities . This organization, durin gthe course of a year, stages a eerie;of one-act plays and a major pro-duction in the spring, Professor Som-erset is a member of the group's ad-visory board. She was formerly di -rector of the club .

Down home at UW the campus Isinfested with theatres--swell we havetwo of them, at any rate—that ham-mer out productions six days a week ,52 weeks a year. Keeps both dram astudents and critics busy . ProfessorSomerset has seen the UW Showboa tand Penthouse theatres, and thinksthey are, in a word, " . . . delightful."

At any rate, this poor-man's BrooksAtkinson is glad to see that the"theatah" suffers no neglect at UBC

Hear thew have a real going con-cern on the candpus, in the form ofthe University Music Society . Thisgroup, I am informed, is responsibl efor all musical productions at UDC .Currently being staged is the musical"Tom Jones ." No lack of entertainmentat this institution—if you're bored i tmust be your own fault .

Wandered through a place knownas Brock Lounge, a sumptuous plac ewih all the bustle ar.d activity o fa funeral parlor . C ;uldn't figure ou tthe cause of the prevailing air oflethargy until rcmeone Informed m eone of them "damyankees" had re-ferred to Canada as the last vestige ofthe British Colonial Empire. I toldthem I was an observer from lowerTasmania and hurriedly left .

Way down in the bowels of Brockhall there slaves an active little groupknown as Radsoc. Facing a frighteningcomplicated gadget called a consol e(probably the best one in Vancouver ,I was told) was none other than DickTurnbull . In case you're interested h ebears the impressive title of Assistan tChief Engineer .

Dick and a group of bewildered an-nouncers in an adjoining room oper-ate the campus network, which boun-ces out information and entertainmen tto Ubeesecites each day from 12 : 0to 2:30.

UBCers have it all over UW whenit comes to providing daytime enter-tainment for students . About the onlykick we get down there during th eday domes from watching co-eds sli pon the ice-covered walks . Pink slips Iseem to be all the rage this year .

Over the air he sounds somethinglike a hair-lipped Ubangi . Fine fellow,though .

Before leaving would like to ven-ture an opinion or two on Vancouvernitelife . For one thing, where Is it ?

Thought I'd stumbled onto a reallygood deal until I found out licensedpremises doesn't connote free licens einside the joint . Incidentally, whatgives with this ladies-gents routine?You know what Freud said concerningrepression or suppression, or what -ever It was .

Concession : Canadian brew stand sheadaches and shoulders above ours .

Concerning Canadian women: Ah,yes. Very lovely, very friendly, veryenteitaining. Unlike American women ,you can look deep'inta their eyes with -out having dollar signs staring bac kat you .

The weather: Quack !

Joke: Why did the chicken cross theroad ?

Answer: To keep his pants up ,

By NANCY THOMASFumbling through Vancou-

quiet, modest Canadiaw jals we wer ebowled' over to see a bevy of DaisyMae , facsimilesrtntningr around . Skirtswere hoisted tool ,shoes were absent.Later we dleeovered it was all in th eMerest of scenes . Research in leg-elegy,

We wondered why you Canuek gal sdo not teach your fellows bette rmanners. At the Hoosier Hotshotsblowout the audience disintegratedwhen the , rugby captain was intro -duced.

Your CAF was another object o famazement for us floundering ferns .By the time you pile coats and book son your tables where do you put th efeed? W e , came to the conclusion tha tour system of having meals servedin organized individual houses ha sits advantages.

Hearing so much about the Cana -dien hospitality we were a littl edisillusioned when one of our re -porters had his wallet fleeced at the"Y" . He said there were four bigburley men that accosted him an dthey were all riding pink elephants .

WE vs THEYOn the whole it is our biased opin-

ion that you gals always dress upmere than U of W coeds . A pair ofhose on our campus is a rarity .

Another difference noticed — wedo ,our nuking in private. On thewhole we consider this extr n . curri-cular activity .

While sauntering through Brocklounge we noticed the purdy music .

iWith exclamations of "What no com -mercials" we decided to try and ge ta cross country hookup for our Stu-dent Union building .

Rug y Confuses L/W

Stanfot Doesn 't Win

By JOHN THOMPSONHere it is, a half hour after seeing my first English rugby

game, and I must say that it 's confusing, but not amusing . Themost confusing part about it is the final score . In Americanfootball, they just don't treat the Stanford Indians that way.In fact, Mr. McColl and' Company made a little trek north t oSeattle last fall for a spot of tea with our Washington Huskies .They had the tea and we had the crumpets . The score was some -thing like 40-0 Stanford.

As for the play itself, I suffered silently for fifteen minute swondering why both teams kept kicking the ball out of bounds .It semed as if they were doing it deliberately . They were! That 'sthe part that is confusing . I wondered which team was goingto wise up first. About that time, one of my eight Percent friendswised me up .

My joy was short-lived, though . Stanford's Boyd Bensonbroke into the clear, tossed a hip at one of your UBC Rugger sand withdrew it just as fast . Now there were only two menahead of him, and only one of them was in a good position t ostop him. And right on Benson's heels came Mr . McColl, all217 pounds (Stanford propaganda—that guy is bigger than that )of him. I shut my eyes and waited for the impact of McCol lthrowing the key block on that one all-important defender .

I waited and waited—but didn't hear anything. Finally Idared to take a peek. What happened! No ambulances ou tthere picking up the plebes . In fact UBC had the ball . My firstthought: These Canadian officials are crooked . My secondthought: McColl was asleep and missed the block. My third :thought: It's a good thing his football coach Marchy Schwartzwasn't looking, or Bill would have had to gd to his Englishclasses for two weeks as punishment. My fturth thought : Ididn't have time . Ray Frost, your sports editor, slapped mehard four times and told me to come to the party . After shakingmy head and ordering two around; I finally realized that I hadthe wrong idea .

So you can't block, hith? Why didn't someone tell mebefore. I don't like appearing stupid anymore than anyon eelse does, even though it's becoming a habit .

I was ready to give up, but suddenly McColl went Ameri-canized long enough to kick a field goal—pardon me, a penaltykick—from a difficult angle. That was more like it--and weshould know, for we had to sit through enough of his conver-sion tries on that infamous Saturday afternoon in Seattle las tfall.

Then a couple of minutes before the game ended, UB Chad the ball in a scrum—and speaking of scrums, hasn't any-one in British Columbia heard of the T-formation—and whenthe ball was kicked back, John Junior Tennant fdked a latera lback and ducked in off right tackle (at least, where the righttackle should be) for a short gain . Nice quarterback sneak,

By VINCE A. MARTINSpeed, and fancy ball-hand-

ling won out over brute strengthThursday afternoon as theUBC Thunderbirds won 11-Sin a hard-fought, fast-movingrugby game with the StanfordIndians,

It was a tough game from any-body's standpoint—including the pay-ing customers who were left limp a t

the final whistle .

Boasting a galaxy of 200-pound

football players, Stanford had more

fun pushing their lighter opponentsaround in the serums than they di din the open field where the lighter,faster Birds passed and ran circlesaround them .

INDIANS SCORE FIRST

Looking big and rugged the red-

shirt Indians scored first . Takingadvantage of a fumbled kick by a

UBC player, Dick Hughes, Indian

back, smashed over from about thre e

yards out . The convert by big Bil l

McColl put the Californians ahead5 .0.

Except for a couple of spectacular

runs by McColl and Co ., UBC had

things ratty much their own wa yduring the rest of the game .

LATHAM SCORESUBC first broke into the score

column when Rws'Latham, a spark-

plug of the Bird team, touched the

ball down between the goal posts

after his team had passed and ran fo r

45 yards. (Latham converted and the

score read 5 .5,From then on in, the game was an

up-and-down-the-field affair featur-

ing smooth ball-handling by UBC and

bone-crushing tackles by the Indians .Outfought by their smaller oppon -

ents, Stanford rarely moved the ball

bac kW their three line .The Bird's next tally came on a

pass combo shortly after the start

of second half—John Tennant to

Frank Watt to Jack Smith who slip-ped over for three points . Latham

missed the convert.INDIAN RALLY STOPPED

Another penalty kick by Latha m

midway in the half, put the game o n

ice for the Birds . Stanford came back

with a penalty kick by McColl latein the game and were fighting furi-ously for another score as the fina l

whistle sounded .Particularly outstanding in the Bir d

squad was Tennant who figured' i n

most of the UBC down-field marches .

Hinson, DeYoung and McColl carrie d

much of the load for the Indians .The two teams will meet again at

2 p .m. Saturday.

Bill McDonald is expected ton counter with Jeff Russell and Hal

Norgaard at forwards, Dick Raven-horst at center and Stan Peterson an dJerry Starr at guards .

UBC must stop high-scoring Peter-

son to break into the winning column ,but much of the Bird attention willgo to Starr, who put on a great floo rshow last year when the Vikes fel lbefore the locals,

TALL 'BIRD TRIO

Pomfret bases his hopes of repeatin gthe upset upon the over-all height o fthe 'Bird front wall. The two startingforwards and Mg John Forsyth standsix feet five inches.

McDonald's great defensive center ,Ravenhorst, is no midget himself .He'll be the tallest man on the cour tat six feet six inches,

The 'Y ' quintet, which finished firs t

in regular season play, defeated th e

Braves in two previous encounters ,
