CBC Commentator to Spark DriveFor ISS Funds on UBC Campus

An address by CBC commentator John Fisher on Mondaywill spark a doublebarreled campus drive to boost membershipin the UBC United Nations Society and to raise funds for ISS.

Through a special arrangement with

local UN authorities, the campusbranch has gained permission to trans-fer their 25 cent membership feefrom the UN-sponsored Canadian Ap-peal for Children to the UBC Inter-national Students Fund.

Jim Sutherland, president of t'hecampus group, stated yesterday theirdecision in no way reflected on theobjects of the drive since both groupswere members of the UN Rehabili-tation Council and the money hadthe same ultimate goal.

Fisher, who two weeks ago return-ed from war-devastated Europe, willformally launch a week-long drivefor United Nations membership onthe campus,

Forum Says:

Greek SocietiesPoor Influence,'Undemocratic'Eighty percent of Parliamen-

Prime Minister Ben McConnell toldthe "house" that the Greeks are "aclique of financially superior beingswho segregate themselves from therest of the university."

He admitted, however, that as in-dividuals Greeks were "quite human."

"I once had a date with a sororitygirl. It was quite a gratifying ex-perience." he said,

Leader of the Opposition, DaveWilliams, contended that fraternitiesand sororities are "only exercising theright of the individual to choose hisown company." Williams is a frater-nity man.

Other Government speakers pointedout that, since under the Greek ad-mission system the veto of two mem-bers is sufficient to rule a candidateout, the Greeks "could not be any-thing but an undemocratic influence."

U of T Contributes$4000 But FailsTo Attain Objective

Toronto, Feb. 20—(CUP)--With 84,000 contributed to theISS fund, the University ofToronto is still short of its ori ;-

cover only one of the fourspecific projects for which thedrive was conducted.

Maybee thanked campaigners fortheir work in publicizing and collect-ing for the drive and pointed out.that the falling short, was due to the"physical incapabilities of myself andthe central ISS commiltee" of reaching every student and convincing himof the importance of the cause.

He admitted that many of the rea-sons given for failure to contributewere good reasons, but that theywere due to ignorance. Some feltthat the ISS was politically tinged,that it is badly managed, that fundsneed fine accounting, Mayhee ex-pressed his regret that the committeecould afford neither the time northe personnel to dispel these doubts.

The committee head said finally,that efforts would continue in orderthat the rest of the students mightbe contacted and asked to contributesomething.

Rapped As"Inadequate"

(Special to the Daily Ubyssey)

Toronto, Feb. 20—The bonusgranted to married veterans bythe Dominion government thisweek was rapped last night asinadequate by the StudentCouncil ex-service committee,in a special session,

The committee felt the governmentturned a deaf ear on the status ofthe great body of unmarried veterans,men and women, who are daily facedwith growing problems, financial andacademic,

Veterans have dropped their xoursesbefore real financial destitution setin and the government should recog-nize this fact, said Fred Umansky,ex-service chairman.

Present plans still call for thesending of a delegation to interviewDVA Minister Gregg in Ottawa topress for the allowance bonus forsingle veterans. The delegation willleave when the appointment is ar-ranged by the Dominion Commandof the Canadian Legion,

Discrepancy Brings ConfusionIn Wake of Wednesday Elections

For 21 hours yesterday Men's Athletic President BudSpeirs' position hung in the balance as he waited the recount ofthe votes cast in Wednesday's elections.

Some discrepancy arose as to theinterpretation of the AMS code re- Igarding the distribution of votes on Veterans Bonusthe second count, and a recount wasmade at the request of Harry Smith,unsuccessful candidate.SWEATMAN OUT

At the end of the first count it wasdiscovered that candidate HankSweatman was low man and hisvotes were distributed among theother three candidates. On this basisSpeirs had 589 votes, Smith had 578and the third candidate, Dick Pennhad 543.

It was at this point that the dis-crepancy crept in claims election com-mittee head Bill McKay.

At this point Penn's third choicevotes should have been counted as hisscond choice and distributed betweenSpeirs and Smith.TOTALS DIFFER

On checking through election totalsyesterday morning there seemed tobe a small discrepancy between thetotals for Smith and Speirs and theinital totals for all four candidates.

In view of the small majority, 68votes, by which Speirs was electedWednesday it was felt that a recountwas necessary because if the 35 votesthat Speirs got were to go to Smith,he would have been elected.

In yesterday's recount the vote stoodat 845 to 765 In favor of Speirs.

"The entire affair is due to a mis-interpretation of the election rules,"said Bill McKay.

THE DAILY UBYSSEY Friday, February 20, 1948

Next week has been designated "UnitedNations Week" by the local UN society onthe campus.

They are launching a membership drivewith the double-barrelled purpose of swellingtheir campus strength and of earning moneyfor the ISS.

The connection between the two, al-though perhaps a little remote on the surface,is entirely logical. The International StudentService is an organization which has existedmany years with the purpose of providingrelief for destitute students of all countries.

When the United. Nations established therehabilitation council, ISS was given a seatand assigned a quota. From this quota, ISSin Canada was given a share, It is clear thenthat the money earned for ISS is part andparcel with the money earned for the UN-sponsored, Canadian Appeal for Childrendrive.

In this issue of the Daily Ubyssey theEditorial board has assigned page three tothe UN for the purpose of publishing en-dorsing statements from leaders in a goodcross-section of campus clubs.

While it may be a little over enthusiasticto expect a handful of students at a wild-westcoloqial college to do very much in the wayof ensuring a lasting peace, the local UN,if it is successful, can serve as a nucleus tofoster the organization of similar branches atother Canadian universities. This in itself isan important function, in that UBC is one of

the very few schools where branches havebeen established.

A second function lies closer to home. Itis that of sponsoring a balanced program ofaddresses in an attempt to inform so vitala strata of the public as the university student,of the aims and purposes of UN.

UN is the only body now in existencewhich has as its prime purpose the mainten-ance of world peace. It could, in the future,hold the seed to a successful world govern-ment or parliament of nations, of the sortmany analyists claim to be the only solutionto the international problem.

The fault with UN is not with the leadersbut with the people. The average citizen hasbut a vague notion of the proceedings of theSecurity Council. What is needed is a world-wide education program to dispell narrownational biases and political quibbling thatloom so largely in the path of world peace.

Anything that can be done at UBC tofurther this end is to the good. It is our dutyto society.

The politically conscious are now won-dering whether the big wind that swept thecampus Wednesday was Mother Nature'sanswer to the recent AMS elections campaign.

A UBC course to teach young Canadianshow to work has been called for by M. LeoSweeney, Vancouver weather booster. Atunion or non-union wages, Mr. Sweeney?

PittanceDear Sir:

I greatly enjoy your little paper,which I sometimes get from mynephew, but I was astounded toread the letter in one of yourissues suggesting that the singleveterans give $8 off their pittanceto help the maried vets. Surely themarried vets cant expect thesingle vets to support their wives.In the first place if these fellowscan't do something extra to keeptheir wives, then they have nobusiness with them. If a singlefellow has had the sense to ref-rain from marrying until suchtime he is in a position to keepa wife why penalize him for an-other's stupidity?

I would point out that it costssingle men $40 a month for roomand board, which both you andthe married vets will grant doesnot leave much for car and bus

"fares, clothes, etcetera, consider-ing the present day cost of living.I think it it just as hard for thesingle vets as for the married ones.

In any case neither single normarried vets are obliged to attendthe university and if they circum-stances are such that they can'tmake ends meet, then it is up tothemselves to make a change intosome earning capacity, But on noaccount should any married manexpect another man to help sup-port his wife - a wife and familyare a man's own responsibility.

Yours truly,Jane G. W. McKinlayAunt of a single vet

It was murdered bygovernments of various countries whofetl that national pride and profitcame first. The people of the worldknew the League was their only hopefor peace, but they ignored becausethe ydid not force their governmentsto make international organizationwork. Today the people of the worldhave one last chance to save civiliza-tion.Here on the campus every studentshould be a member of the UnitedNations Association.

Campus Leaders Pledge AidTo United Nations Society

Livingstone Backs UN

In the belief that the UBC branch of theUNO can fulfill an important part in estab-lishing similar groups at other schools and indirecting student thought towards channelsof world peace, The Daily Ubyssey has devot-

ed this page to the group's membership drive.Statements from campus leaders have beencompiled by UN members and are printedbelow.

This is to urge every student interested in pre-serving world peace to participate actively and intell-igently in the , campus branch of the United NationsAssociation. In making this appeal, I would like toemphasize that I do so not as any "impracticalidealist" but a thorough-going realist. In the twentiethcentury, and particularly, in this third year of it'satomic age, the concept of "One World" is a truism.With modern communication and transportation, con-cepts of the fundamental quality of all men, the

it sufficient sovereignty to permit it's will to pre-dominate over national wills. The League of Nationsfailed because its members would not support it'sdecisions. It's•failure was a direct cause of WorldWar II.

Today we have the United Nations which lacks theidiological strength of the League but has a widerpractical basis of support, Unless it is supported it isin danger of suffering the same fate of the old Leaguewhich would result in World War III.

Ron Grantham—PresidentWorldwide cooperation of the

peoples of the world is more necessarytoday than ever before. Political or-ganization has proved inadequate anddangerous to world cooperation. Itmust be an organization of the peopleand not of political parties. The peoplemust be taught to think logicallyand reasonably. They must learn ofthe social problems of the other racesof the world and must learn to apply.reason and understanding in thehlsolution.

The average student on this campusis far too Ignorant of the principlesunderlying the United Nations Or-ganization. For preservation of man-kind this organization must succeedin its purposes.

The United Nations Club on thecampus is sparked by non-politicalinterests. Its one objective is bringingtogether students regardless of race,creed, or political interest, to promoteapplication of reason and understand-ing in ensuring a cooperative worldsociety.

Economics SocietyDavid Braide—President

There are number of ways inwhich nations settle their differences-physical coercion, economic warfare,diplomatic agreements, and educationare some of them. It has been provenby history that in the long run, thelatter method, education, is the surestway to attain lasting peace. Just asyou cannot hate a man you under-stand, in the same way nations whichknow each others' thoughts and feel-ings are not likely to be suspiciousand distrustful of each other. This isour last chance to make such inter-national understanding a reality; andit is the task of the United NationsSociety to aid in bringing this about.I have been authorized by the mem-bers of the Economics Society to statethat we shall throw our full supportbehind the organization.

AgricultureIan Greenwood—President

It is useless to talk about unitednations in the world before talkingabout cooperation in, our own com-munities and on our own campus,This can be partly achieved by suchorganizations as the UndergraduateSocieties and Clubs, but a group thatwould cover the entire student bodywould be one such as the United Na-tions Society.

SCMRobin Andrews—President

The United Nations is the last linkof any importance remaining betweenthe contending world powers. If wesay it will not succeed, we are notpredicting but are causing its down-fall, This venture in world coopera-tion can succeed if enough people be-lieve in it, and act accordingly.

LPP ClubNorm Littlewood—President

The United Nations of the worldunited in the common fight againstFascism, so that all peoples might livein peace. The people of the world stilldesire peace. For that reason, it isessential that we as Canadians fullyunderstand exactly what the UNO is,that we at all times evaluate whatis happening in the UN Assembly orthe Security Council. Such an,eval-uation, if made, with due regard toother phases on international affairs,will strengthen the struggle for peace.

I believe in the United Nations. Thevarious organizations covered by thattitle are the one hope for internationalamity in the world today. They pro-vide, in the • first place, a table atwhich the nations can meet face toface. They also provide a stage uponwhich the nations can expend theirspleen in mock battles of rhetoric.But most important of all, the UnitedNations organizations represent acrossroads, or a series of crossroads,at which individuals of all nations,journeying their separte paths of na-tional interest, meet and discoverthey are going in the same direction.I refer here to the various specializedagencies of the United Nations. Fortherein is carried on the real workof the UN' in building internationalunder4anding. In these organizations,men of nations really cooperate be-cause theys hare a common interest ina specialized subject—health, for in-stance, in the WHO.

Two things are desperately need-ed by it; the first is that it shouldbe given all-out support by the peoplesof it's member nations and thereforeby their governments; the second isthat it should establish and workprogressively towards the goal of be-coming a true world government. Bothof these efforts depend upon eachindividual person who believes inpeace.

I have no patience with anyonewho declares; "Sure, the world is amess, but what can I do about it?"and then abandons the question. It isthe democratic responsibility of everyone of us to help shape the future. Ihave no sympathy either for the In-dividual who declares that peace canonly be brought about when the

Thompson put it, "an historical imperative of our age."To the realist, the questions to decide are; what

form this world state will take; how it will be broughtabout; and whether it can be established in time toprevent another world clash of the major existingconflicts. Bismarck, Von Turpitz, and the Kaiser en-deavoured to give it the form of a Germanic empire,and twenty-five years after they failed, Hitler at-tempted to achieve the same purpose and came withina very narrow margin of succeeding. There have beenand are others in the world, who would establish sucha state as an empire of their particular country, or asa unitary government of their ideology. Like the Ger-man attempts, such schemes for a world state wouldnecessitate conquest by force of those who will notfit the pattern.

During this century, two attempts have been madeto form one by cooperative means, on a republicanfederal basis. Neither has fully succeeded, becauseIn neither case did the member nations surrender to

The vast majority of us do not wish to impose ourwill on others, and do not wish to allow others toimpose theirs on us, but to establish the commonauthority which may limit us but will also protect us.We can make great strides towards a system hereon the campus by joining and supporting the UnitedNations Association, and giving it the benefit of ourexperience, our theories, opinions, and assistance, andby ensuring that it's resolutions are forwarded to theU.N.

In short, let us each undertake democratic re-sponsibility for the future.

Hockey Coach AsksStudent SupportFred MoonenDaily Ubyssey,Sports Dept.

I do not know whether we shouldterm this an epilogue or a prologue.In any event the UBC hockey teamwill be playing Nanaimo Clippers inNanaimo, Friday and Saturday nightsin the first two games of a threegame series to decide who will meeteither the New Westminster Cubs orthe Vancouver White Spots in theSenior B hockey finals.

Win or lose the UBC hockey teamwill be out there to give only theirbest. Although I must confess thatNanaimo have a very formidableteam, it is my honest conviction, bar-ring unforeseen difficulties that UBCshould win, We are probably shortof substitutes, conditioning and prac-tice. But what we lack in these, weshould make up in smart hockey.

May I extern:Ct° YOU— and otherswho have followed the destiny thisyear of your hockey team, and theeditors of the UBYSSEY for thesupport you have given the club inthe paper. As for many of yourstudent body may I suggest that theyhave missed many a sporting thrillby their absenteeism from hockeygames.

If this is a prologue, let us havethe support of the University for thefinals. If an epilogue, we will haveto wait till next year to arouse theenthusiasm of the student body intheir 1948-49 edition of the Thunder-birds.

REPLYDear Sir:

On behalf of the Sports desk, Ithank you for your letter and may Iadd that covering your hockey clubhas been—and I hope, will still be apleasure. I can do nothing but agreethat the team is made up of a swellbunch of fellows and although theyhave had their 'off-nights' as any clubwill have, they have always giventheir best to the game and have madethe name of UBC respected through-out the circuit.

And I also concur in your opinionthat with a reasonable share of thebreaks, the 'Birds will go into thefinals of the Senior B playoffs.

As for student support, I must admitthat there has been a lamentable lack

of that valuable commodity.

Friday, February 20, 1948

The powers-that-be must have beenmore than a little psychic, for withthe league schedule entering its finalweek, the three top teams: CPS, UBC,and Willamette—the other five ag-gregations are miles out of the race—tie up with each other in fours games.CPS Loggers and Willamette Bear-cats tangle in a home-and-home series,while the 'Birds meet Willamette Sat-urday night at home and next Wed-nesday tackle CPS on the Loggers'own hunting grounds. CPS holds theinside track at present but eitherWillamette or UBC could easily creepup from behind and snag the leaguecrown. Every tilt from here on inis a crucial and the whole mess spellsa hectic windup to a great season.

Byway of enlightenment, the affair willtake the form of sex segregation—thatis the hags or bags or what-have-youwill be permitted to seat themselveson one side only of the gym, whil^the men must dump themselves ont'other. The price of admission entitlesyon spectator to a pom-pom and ice-cream bar. More yet—the Varsityband will be in attendance, a half-time tandem art is on slate, and asong-fest is planned.
