Responsibilities

STUDENTS AT universities atthe resent time have special res-ponalbilitiee bemuse of their spe-cial opportunities said Dr . N. A.

M. MacKenzie in his welcomingaddress to the freshmen on Tues-day noon .

"We can say without boastingthat we have a group of instruc-tors here as good as any other inCanada. You should make gooduse of them," Dr. MacKenzie con-tinued.

MINGLING ADVISEDAdvising non-veterans to get ac.

quainted with those who have seenservice, the resident stated veter-ans have been a pleasure to wor kwith because of their enthusiasm ,application, general experience an dmaturity .

"Attendance at university givesmore than just training. The stu-dents must gather a philosophy ofliving and an attitude towards lifethat will make them sufficient tocope with any circumstances whic hmay arise . "

Students should plan to tak eadvantage of every opportun -Ity that Is offend to themwhile they are in university ,advised Dr. MacKenzie.

"I think I can safely say thatthe time you spend at universitywill be one of the happiest of yourlive. You have untold oppor-tunities for forming lasting friend -ships and for leading a wide andvaried existence. Take advantageof everything . "

The university has done all tha tit can, but not all it would lik eto do to make college life full andprofitable, the president went on .

By utilizing every opportun-ity, the students should notonly serve as good under -graduates, but as worthwhilecitizens when they graduate ,he told the freshmen .Because of its graduates, the

University of British Columbi astands in the front rank of Cana-dian, and even North Americanuniversities ."

Speaking at Friday's meetingwill be Dr. J. A. Harris, FacultyRepresentative on IFC, Dr. H.McLeod, of the Applied ScienceFaculty, and Dr . J . Alla dyne, ofthe department of Biology .

Registration for rushing beginsMonday at 10 :30 In the AMS office,and will continue from 10 :30 to4 :30 daily until Friday . The regis-tration fee charge will be 50 cents.

This plan, similar to that useuIn the sale of the 1947 Toter ,has been adopted to ensure anefficient distribution of the avail-cble Directories this year.

When the Directory, is issued ,only those students who hold theorder card will be able to getcopy .

It's expected that this fall's DI -rectory will contain the names,addresses, and phone numbers o fmore than 8500 students.

Nominations must be signed b yten members of the AMS and noone member may sign more thanone nomination list.

Election speeches will be heardMonday, October 7, in the Audi-torium and voting will take placeWednesday, October 9 in the Quad .

Due to a mistake in the eligibil-ity rules in nominations, one oflast year's members was illegall yelected to office. Therefore moreelections are being held this year .

TODAY THE VOICE of theCampus URS came up to batwith a now emergency service .One of the new students wasneeded to give his father alifesaving blood transfusion .

No other detail was avail -able than his name . However,URS with no waste motionrigged an extension to theirampffing system and shot outall available "gee" .

The man was on his way tothe General Hospital within10 minutes of the call hittingthe Campus.

This timesaving was essentialas the father was bleeding todeath. Good work URS.

Stating that the university vet-erans were the most privileged andgenerously treated of all person sunder the rehabiliation program,Livingstone went on to say thatfor this reason, they owe a dualresponsibility—to other vets not sofortunate and to the country .

NON-PARTISANHe stressed the fact that the

Legion is not a partisan organ-ization and that its purpose is notto keep veterans seperate citizens,but to make them better citizens .He appealed for support of th eLegion in its effort to preserve th espirit of comradeship and unity Inservice developed during the waryears,

FIGURES JUST releseed by theBursar's office show that an amountof $4534.65 was added to theMemorial Gym fund from las tspring's caution money waivercampaign .

It's estimated that about 1500students signed the waiver forms,thus turning over to the fund wha tremained of their caution moneyafter deductions for lab breakagesand library fines .

Because i,nly non-DVA studentswere allowed to sign away themoney it's believed that abou t75% of the amount available wasturned over to the Memorial GymCommittee .

Beginning this year, the caut .or rmoney fee is incorporated as part /of the sessional fee and is nrefundable .

of the moment .It's the Cairn Ceremony, and today of all

days it will be worth the slight effort o f

attending.

The ceremony, which is held each year ,at this time, serves to remind all students

that they might not be attending universityat Point Grey if it had not been for theWn-thusiasm which earlier undergraduate s

showed for their college .

Back in the dark days of the earlytwenties, when UBC lectures were presentedin even darker classrooms in the old Fair -

Beware the other extreme, too . There

are no plots to "wash out half the freshmen ,

to keep the university from getting over-

loaded." Any average type who does a

reasonable amount of work can make the

grade .

A common story circulated is that the

professors don't mark your papers individ -

. "they just stand at the top of a fligh t

of steps, and toss them all down, giving th e

highest grades to the ones going farthest, "

for these presumably are the "weighties" .

That's a lot of rot, too, as any prof who sits

up nights marking the damned things will

testify .

UPPERCLASSMEN NO GODS

Each year's crop of freshmen seems to

have more clues than the crop before, so

perhaps this will only apply to a few very

young lads. But the novice in any set-u p

usually holds the more advanced type in

some awe and wonderment. Personally, we

succumbed to the myth whilst in junior

because we can't all line up formeals, and still make lectures . Butwhere are all the bits of waxedpaper, and all the paper bags be-ing filed? Most of us desire tokeep the lawns and walls clean,but we can hardly be expectedto carry waste paper around i nour pockets, as I did to-day.

Can you not use you influenceto have waste baskets spreadabout the campus? Our lawnsand pool are much more desirab,, ,In their native state .

VARSITY LIFE

Varsity life is one of the nicest things tha tcan happen to a fellow, and we're sure you'l lenjoy it . There'll be football games, dances ,pep-meets, parties, shows, and plays . What-ever you do, don't miss the annual Players 'Club and Musical Society presentation ;there are no better on the west coast .

When you get time, incidentally, do a littlestudying, preferably when its assigned. Itgenerally takes three years to find out thatthe work is easier if you keep up with it ,but now you know the secret.

Above all, feel lucky that you're at UBC,because there's no better university any-where. And if you're looking for an easythree units, take Plumbing VI : it's a pipecourse .

FROSH AND ENGINEERS MIX THINGS UP ;WOOF DEALS WITH FEMALE OFFENDER S

LATER FIVE AUSTERITY waryears, freshman hazing has againcome back into its own .

Groups of students, consistin gmostly of Engineers, making up fo rlost years, began promptly at noo non Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-day, to punish freshmen disre-garding the first year regulations.SLOW START

Punishments took the form ofdunkings, depanting, and generalroughhousing.

On Monday hazing got off t4

a slow start, although it picked u psomewhat later on .

A mushy count after the firsthour listed 11 first year studentsdunked and 1 depanted, againstfive upper year peen dunked .

On Tuesday fighting was quiteheavy, with reinforced freshme ntaking the offensive and inflictingheavy casualties on the Science -men. Preliminary casualitles lists&how that 11 Sclencemen weredunked as against only 5 fresh -men .WOOF IN ACTION

During the same period manyfreahettea were punished for in-fraction of the law. WOOF's roam-ed the campus in small compactgroup meting out punihment toany wayward freshette . Althoughtheir punishment did not consis tof dunking, many were daubedwith green lipstick, and otherswere made to sing for the spect-ators.

In spite of the fierceness of thehazing aoienemen have been ad-hering to the Versailles Treaty onthe treatment of freshmen .

Before any dunking, watches ,spectacles and wallets were care-fully removed.

On Wednesday the campus wasshooed to hear of the disappear-tame of the engineers . Howeverthe raving mob of red elates wenreplaced by a marauding band of

upper year artsmen and aggies. To-tal casualities: Frosh-nil Science-men— innumberable lone engin-eers dragged from peaceful medi-tation, depanted, and thoroughl y

MacKenzies MakeTheir Hut Cosy

DESPITE RUMORS to th econtrary living in huts CAN becomfortable, especially if it has IIrooms and inside plumbing. Pres. -dent McKenzie, his wife and chil-dren have managed to turn twosurplus army huts into one of themost up - to - date homes to befound anywhere in the city.

From the entrance hall ofbleached paneling to the chrom.bleached panelling to the chro-mium trimmed kitchen, it Is theepitome of modem design andefficiency .

Wide double doors lead into a24' x 25' living room. Over the redhick fireplace at the east end o fthe room hangs an oil painting o ftheir youngest son Petrie%k, whileabove the grand piano is a paint-ing of his sister Shelia by thesame artist .

The remainder of that hut hasbeen turned into a tastefully de-corated dining room . Diechmanpottery mugs presented to Presi-dent McKenzie by the Universityof New Brunswick are arranged o nthe buffet. On the wall are hung aseries of Holbeln prints.

As the huts are without a base-ment the compact heating unit i sinstated on the pound floor . Itconsists of a small coal furnacewhich can be converted to oil assoon as oil tanks and other equip-ment become available .

The "T" fomation of the hut sallows the living room, diningroom and part of the kitchen to becontained in the cross bar of the Twhile the other hut is devoted tobedrooms and a room which wil l1:e turned into a library as soonas the Presidents books are un-packded.

Football games will constitutethe third part of these series . Abroadcasting booth is being instal -led in the stadium as a gift of th egraduating class of '45 . This boothwill be the finest of its type in thecity and wil lbe equal with any ofthe ones used by the large Ameri-can colleges .

INTRAMURAL SPORTBROADENS SCOPE

THE INTRAMURAL setup at UBC got off to a grea tstart Monday afternoon in Bob Osborne's office in the con -

fines of the Gym . After a two-hour bull session, the skeletonintramural committee succeeded in working out variousproblems in connection with the program for the comin g

year.It was decided that all teams wishing to enter must tur n

in a list of 25 names by the 1st of October. Forms for thi spurpose may be picked up any time at the Physical Ed . officein the Gym. This list is just a starter, to indicate to th ecommittee how many clubs are intending to participate i nthe intramural schedule. Full lists, which must includ eall the members of the organization eligible for intramura l

participation must be in by Nov. 15. If any club wishesto add' more members to its playing roster, they can do s oby obtaining the consent of the intramural committee .

POINT SYSTEM DECIDEDVarious points pertaining to scoring, bonuses, and extr a

points were decided. Entry points of 50 will be given toevery team entering any event . Penalties for defaults willbe deducted from these entry points . If a team defaults onegame 50% of their entry points will be deducted, if the ydefault more than one game they lose all their entry points .

Bonuses will be given to the winning teams in playoff s

between leagues. If the playoff is a team event, the cham-pions will receive a bonus of 20 points, but if it is an individ-ual event the winner will receive 10 points,

All the sports will be divided into major and mino r

events. These categories do not necessarily indicate therelative importance of the sports to the University, but tak einto consideration the amount of training necessary, and th enumber of participants. The points alloted for the winningteams differ in the two categories . A winner in a major eventreceives 100 points . A winner of a minor event receives75 points .

The entrance of the team into th ePacific Conference has broughtgreat quantities of able-bodled meninto the folds of the Stadium .

But, there are still openings fora few lucky men to get in therewith the team without taking th ebeating that the boys cm the fiel dwill be taking.

The committee is also considering entering the Jokers'roller skating meet in the intramural program. This eventwent off with a bang last year, and it is felt that it wouldmake a good intramural activity .

Chalk talks are becoming evenmore an integral part of the train-ing sessions with the recent intro-duction of sound films into theprogram. The prospective grid -men were shown the science ofblocking Monday evening throug hthe medium of a cellulose rendi-tion of a practice on the Colgatecampus.

Alternating his somewhat tem-porary backfield combination sthrough formations of the "T" andsingle wingback, Kabat continue sto impress his charges with theadded speed and drive requiredfor the American code .

MSC Cricket Teams To StageExhibition Match On Saturda y

AS A CLIMA7 to a fine season, Varsity's two cricke tteams meet in an exhibition game on Saturday at the Brock -ton Point Oval. The two teams have been playing steadil yall summer against the City teams and have made a verygood showing.

The strengthening of the nine City teams with returningservice men has brought the standard of cricket to a pa rthat is comparable with any other league in Canada today .

The Blue and Gold had a team in each of the two divis-ons and although neither team finished on top of theirsection, real promise was shown for the future . It was mostlya matter of experience that knocked the Varsity squads fro mthe top rung. Next year should tell a different story .

In the Senior Division, Varsit y"A" finished second only to theRowing Club squad . Pete Hobsonand Art Hill shared the glory asbats and Art Griffon was the mostconsistent bowler.

The team's fielding was easil ythe beat in the league boding fini-shed and snappy throughout eac hgame . Notable in this respect wasthe work of captain Lea Sullen ,Ned Larson, and Ron Williams .

The Varsity "B" squad startedout with a bang, winning six ou t

' of their first seven games. Al-though their winning streak wasshort lived, the "B" boys endedup in second place in the Lowe rMainland aeries.

PUDNEY CONSISTENT

Although they fell to third placeinn the Gardner Johnston tilts,the team was impressive through .out the eason.

Dave Pudney, team skipper ,took batting honours with nanaverage of 23 . Best bowling aver -age was chalked up by CharliePillar who took 47 wickets for 439runs, an average of nine .

IT CAN BE DONE

IF MY FRIEND Eric P. Nicol can get away with it, so

can I. He's been writing The Mummery for nigh on nin e

years now, so I guess I've got license to start pounding out

columns for the third straight year .Eric, better known to freshmen and freshettes as Jibe ;

is one of my favorite humorists . H. Allen Smith is another,

and Danny Kaye is yet another.Only t'other night I made a point of taking an evenin g

off to take in Daniel's latest effort, the one in which he pre -

tends he's an athlete or some such.I specifically went to see how to tie sports in with

comedy, but there was one scene which stole the show, as far

as I was concerned . It was the one where Danny's milkwagon

horse, Agnes, falls flat on the pavement.

Memories, Memories! !The milkwagon mount stirred malty memories of happy

days at the Hastings track for some reason . . . probably

because the nags there do everything but fall flat from

pregnancy (as was the case in the film, for those who haven' t

seen it yet) .Deep in my race track reverie there is one incident whic h

sticks out sharper than any other,' for it seemed particularly

humorous to me at the time .It all happened one very hot Saturday afternoon at Littl e

Saratoga—that's what the local sports scribes call Hastings .

There was Bookie Bob and Harry the Horse and Hot-U p

Henry, and they were all excited as hell even though the

first race hadn't started.

Was Ashes Only Hot?I tell you this Ashes Only is hot as a firecracker, Bookie

Bob was saying .But Hottip Henry didn't seem to agree That gluespo t

prospect couldn't run even if they built a fire under her, say s

he. I like this Brown Earth .But at this point, the heated argument is stopped by som e

character who joins their select group.Harry the Horse suddenly turns to the stranger and

questions him: Say, don't tell me you had to pick Wallac e

Kelk's selections again today. Is he still sick? What a bunch

of nags: Jazz Lady, Franklin D., Brilliant Help, Streamline

Early Day, and . . . hey, look fellas, he picks Ashes Only

in the last race !The newcomer nods and brushes him off, and besides ,

the first race is just coming off .

The Stranger Was In ThereSix races have gone by the board and we find the same

select group more excited than ever .Bookie Bob is screaming to the guy who made th e

selections . Four winners you pick, and two seconds but yo u

don't bet. You should have your head examined.

And so should we, Hot-tip Henry is yelling . Leave us

all go cover this Ashes Only. It looks hotter than ever, now,

and the odds are ten-to-one.Moving to the straight wicket in a body, they all plunge

their small fortunes on No. 4, which of course is Ashes Only .

You guessed it . Ashes Only runs a ,torrid last, trailin g

the field by a smart seven lenthgs .

And so, dear kiddies, the moral is . . .Incidently, I hate to boast about things like this, but th e

guy who made the selections was me ,
