"Not Justified by Facts "Ubyssey news story and editorial which appeared in th e

Tubsday edition about Big Block Club failure to carry out thei robligations in the present gym fund campaign were "not justi efled by the facts of the case." , In a letter to the editor. full tex t

of which appears inside, Brock

Ostrom, MAA president, exoneratedthe Men's Big Block Club, and ex-plained the reasons for misconcep-

tions.' The Men's Big Block Club as

a whole "was never asked as agroup to help," Ostrom said, an dhe added than John Tennant, pro-sident of club, agreed that it wa snot possible to organize the clubin the short time available .

Ostrom and Bill Sparling, MA D

secretary, agreed to undertake th e

alieakin g duties, and when Ostrom

fell ill, Sparling was "forced t ocarry on by himself . "

Ostrom said that all campaignspeeches to freshnient will be com-pleted by Monday and not Thurs •clay as was originally planned .

The letter compliments Men' sBig Block Club on thci : . work dur-ing the year so far, and Ostro m

1 feels that they have capablyhandled any extra world they haveundertaken ,

How the mistake was made by

the Gym- Club Committee was ex-plained by Roy North, speaker'scontititteA chair man .

The committee was Informedthat the Big Block Club as a wholewas throwing its number Into th edrive but In reality the club wa sunable to do so .

Both Ostrom and Bill Sparling,members of the Big Blocks, volun-terred to help, North said .

When Ostrom fell ill Wednes-day, Sparling still - carried on an dcontacted two fresh classes .

Thursday however, Ostrom car-ried out his ubllgatlotls and man-aged to Induce the largest percent -age quota of the current campaign ,126 percent from one of the fres hclasses, North reported .

There is no cause for alarm, h e

Stone Work by Cameron

Editor, The Ubyssey,Dear Sir :

With reference to both you rnews story and editorial inr today'spaper concerning the Big Mee kroneous impressions. Both thesearticles placed the Big Block ClubClub, I wish to clear up a few er :in an unfavorable light and arenot justified by the facts of theease .

It was not decided until last Sat -urday' night that some of the cam •paign speeches for the Gym Drive

4night be undertaken by member sof the Big Block Club. At thattime I informed Mr. Bill Haggert ,chairman of the Gym Committee ,that I would personally do every-thitfg I could to help him in Meefforts . Mr, Sperling also volun-teered his aid .

Upon discussing this matte rwith Mr. John' Tennant, presidentof the Men's Big 'Block Club, onSunday, it was mutually agreedthat to organize the ,club for thi sproject on such notice would notbe feasible . The Big Block Clu bwas never asked as a group to help .

The first of the Freshman clan -des were to be spoken to on Tues-day. Unfortunately, a series oftour meetings on Monday left ni every little time to prepare fo rthese speeches . In light of this ,

. In the past few days several suggestion shave put forth for the re-organization ofstudent government .

No one is likely to deny that studentgovernnierit is far from perfect. On the otherhand, it should be remembered that the pres-ent systein has given tis good government fo rmany years .

In other words, reform might be a goodidea—but there is no need to panic into some-thing we may be sorry for later.

Some of the suggestions point out tha tsome of the present council seats just don'trepresent anybody. Junior Members andSophomore Member are obvious examples .Who ever heard of a Junior Member whofelt it his duty to express the views of ihird-year students ?

On the other hand, why should he? What

we usually expect is that councillors will do

their utmost to reach decisions in the bes t

Wednesday 's $10,000 donation from th e

Kinsmen Clubs of B .C . has a double signifi-ance .

It is, first and foremost, a symbol of the

public faith in the service UBC is renderingto the community .

Second, it points up the fact that while

U,BC is not likely to be highly endowed for

a long time yet, yearly donations from group s

and individuals can go a long way to fill th e

gaP.'A $10,000 donation is worth as much i n

as single year'as the income from a $150,00 0endowment's .

interests of the student body as a whole .Governnieiht Which represents nobody is

dangerous. $ttt government which represent sa faction can become goverfifnrnt by pressuregroups all too easily.

Maybe a compromise might be reached .

It Might even be possible to establishparliament and cabinet system which wouldmake possible a much wider expression ofopinion without slowing down too much thewheels of government.

Maybe-if USC—or the inactive constitu-ents of it—were re-organized into an Organi-

zations Assembly, a sort of lower house wouldevolve .

All these are possibilities—good or bad .We don't know yet . It's going to take a lo t

of study. Meanwhile, we can rest assuredthat student government won 't go to the

dogs.

The Kinsmen's contribution will go to aid

the fight against polio—a fight which may

soon come to culmination in some solution s

if the money keeps rolling .

Polio fighting is only one of the hundreds

of practical causes which a university ca n

do much to help .

But we must not forget that some of th e

long term fights—those which involve thehumanities and the social sciences—are just

as important . Maybe they're more importantin the long run.

We would ask donors not to forget th e

future in their interest in the present .

Mr, Haggert agreed that Thurs-day would be soon enough o rthese addresses, Mr . Spavling an dmyself were to speak to— the re-mainder of the' classes on Wed.nesday, Jan . 24th. I was not wel lon this day and was unable to ful-fill 'my obligations and Mr. ' Spat-leg was forced . to catty on byhimself . However, the F)'osh eani•paign schedule, though somewhatdelayed, will be completed by Mon-day next,

I think it can be teen from th eabove tots that any blame for thisdelay cannot be placed on the Bi gBlock Club . They are a very activeorganitation and have ,this yea radded Much to student activities .'they very adequately handled theFroth Strioket in the fall term,and have added considerably tothe success of the WtUS . Co-Ed .this spring. They have also un-dertaken to help the Men's Ath-letic Directorate at all athleticevents, I think it will be agreedwhen the amount of time theyspend at practice and games ha s

'been considered, how difficult i tis for them to undertake any ad-ditiottal student activities, andthat the extra they have bee nable to do has been well handled .

Sincerely yours ,Brock Ostrom ,

Two general proposals for re-making the governing body ofthe Alma Mater Society have been advanced by student organs-rations, Ivan Feltham, chairman of the constitution investigationcommittee announced this week.

The major difference betweenthe two general proposals is thequestion of whether we ought t ohave one relatively -small councilor a large representative council toinclude a smaller executive, Fel-tham said .

He emphasized that these propo-sals do not constitute a positive de-cision by the committee . Two can-Crete and detailed proposals will ,be drawn up and circulated widelyamong campus organizations, h esaid .

EDITORIA L' Today themeISS Comiltittee takes . the- opportunity of pre-

senting to the students of this university some idea of theocnpe of activity that the Commitee represents .

.On these pages you will find descriptions of various phase s

of the program: foreign student relief, D .P. Student scholar-ships, German student scholarships, international seminars ,local bursaries, book drives, welfare committee (EROS) etc .

This whole program obtains its initiative from' the suupor tof the general student body and faculty at UBC .

A great deal of the effectiveness of the program can b eattributed to the one dollar that each student on . the campuscontributes to ISS.

Other universities in Canada look with admiration on th eScale of our activities . Because of relative size we commanda position of leadership and authority in the Canadian univer-sity community.. The support of UBC students should be continued and in .Muff led . The effectiveness of our work as a student servic eorganization and the expectations of our sister universitie sbotb in Canada and in other parts of the world make it manda-tory that UBC take the initiative in developing further th elimitless prospects of service and leadership .

German ScholarshipEDITORIA L

Students might well be advised to consider the practicabilityof continuing the scholarship program with Hamburg univer-sity .

These scholarships cost us about $1500 for each studen tbrought here .

The resolution that was passed at the Spring general Meet-ing in 1948 committed this university to sponsor scholarship sfor German students at Hamburg University . This commitmen thas now been fulfilled by two German students from Hambur gbeing sponsored this year at UBC. There can be no assumptio nthat the scheme has proven to be unworkable or foolishl yidealistic.

There is every reason to expect that Hamburg Universitywill provide exchange scholarships for UBC students to stud yin Germany. This small start might quite possibly load to ageneral exchange program between Canadian and Europea nuniversities that will at last implement the dream of decades ofCanadian students . The universities would indeed become aninternational community.

However, the Hamburg scholarships are expensive . Further,different political and economic considerations govern theinternational scene today than governed the scene in 1948.

How 'does the $1500 today measure in the scale of value swhen that $1500 is translated into medical supplies, text books ,etc. sent to South East Asia .

This is your decision to carry on the German scholarshi pscheme or to use these funds for other perhaps more pressingpurposes .

This year the program is con-centrated upon sending materia laid and in continuing the studentD.P. scholarship policy ,

The appeal for Southeast Asi awas made by William McDougal lwho had just returned from the 18 9conference and tour centeringaround Bombay .

A dynamic speaker, McDougal loutlined Asia's needs and statedthat the students lacked even themost fundamental things .

It was decided that one half o fthe lee funds would be spent fo rrelief to Asia. Part of this mone ywould be used to provide suc hthings as books and paper, whil ethe remainder would go for badl yheeded medical supplies, hostel sand summer most camps .SCHOLARSHIPS

This is a common question asked b ymany of the UBC . student body . Well, it'snot that much of a mystery. The initialseasily translate into National Federation o fCanadian University Students ,

The translation glees a lot further thanmerely decoding the abbreviation. The inter-pretation of the NFCUS aims, objectives an dideals make themselves felt in all activitie sof university student life across our fat-flung Dominion of Canada .

This national body, consjsting of ove rtwenty universities and colleges in Canad ais the only representative national body withthe power to express the thoughts and ac-tions of the university student as an organize dunit .

0 4 ¶'NFCUS carries out this function by ob-

taining reduced travel rates on our railwaysand trans-ot':eanic ships during the summer .It also acts as a central committee for boilin gdown • and consolidating the needs of th euniversity student .

With this in mind, NFCUS has beenurging the Federal ggvernment to begi n

mosphereend of a year the students hav egone through the Football week •ends, faculty formals, year parties ,Queen's Revue, Aquacade and ex-ams together, and ire well satu-rated with the widely know n"Queen's Spirit . "

COLORFUL STUDENTSThe students themselves are a

colorful sight as many of the boy swear -Scotch Queen's tams an dvivid year jackets . Most of thereal work is clone in the New Yea r

as Christmas exams rarely counttoward the final standing. Al-though the actual standard is ver ysimilar to that of UBC, 75 per cen tis needed for an A or first classmark .

Queens has no sororities of fra-ternities . It was felt that the stu-dent body was not large enoug hto support them as the enrolmentis aproximately one half that o fUbe. .

a plan of national scholarships, entitling allhigh school graduates with the intellectua lability to attend a university, irregardles sof the economic ability to do so .

- Since N1'CUS includes many studentswith different ideas and ways of life, itserves to bring representative students fromevery region together for seminar, exchanges ,and conference. In this way, a,greater under -standing and respect for fellow students i sfostered and developed.

Lastly, NFCUS provides for the . Cana-dian student body many miscellaneous ser-vices of a varied nature pertaining to inter-varsity correspondence, the Canadian .Uni-versity Press, information concerning studentsummer travel overseas, 'etc .

To the average UBC student the NFCU Scccomplishments and objectives may seemto be of little consequence . On the othe rhand ,however, a deeper and more seriou sanalysis reveals that the National Federationof Canadian University Students is filling auseful function now, and is expanding an dmaturing to a nature of considerable con e-quence in the Canadian university arena .

AMS PresidentEvaluates NFCU S

Nonie Donaldson, AMS presiden tissued the following statement o f•AMS policy regarding NFCUS :

"The Alma Mates' Society is a

member of the National Federa •tion of Canadian University Stu-dents because it is felt that suc han organization, representing sone s52,000 Canadian university stu-dents, provides a clearing hous efor ideas and a material bond b etween the various groups of stn•dents in our vast .country .

Through the interchange o fideas and information, not justat the conference, but also throug hregular bulletins, we broaden ou toutlook a great deal .

Rather than being just UBC stu-dents we can see our place as Ca-nadian university students and ou rnatural tendency toward provinci-alism can grow into healthy na-tionalism and into a better un-derstanding of the various group swhich make up our country ."

VoD~yball SextetDrop Three Games

By FRED SIGURJONSSONDick Penn ' s UBC volleyballists went down to a decisive

3-0 defeat, yesterday, at the hands of an impressive Univer-sity of Washington crew .

Washington proved a more

polished team all' around, fea-

turing spectactular spiking b y

Harry (luny and captain Joh n

Dimmer. UBC showed little

sign of the organizational pla y

with which they started in th e

first game.

It wasn't until after UBC had

lost the first two games, 15-7

16 .6, that the team settled down

and played seriously . Points

were registered slowly and the

lead changed hands often, but

Washington came out on to p

by a score of 15-22 ,

The most sensational play of

the game was made by Wash-

ington. A player had received

the serve but was unable t o

handle it . Washington's George

Kubota ran way back and made

an almost impossible shot bac k

to the court where team mate

Lets Tucker relayed It over th e

net .

The only casualty of th e

game was UI3C's Pete Walker

who suffered a dislocated

bow .

Rugger CoachSays - SupportNon Existent

Albert . Lalthwaite, coach o fthe Thunderbird English rugbyteam, Thursday lashed out a tstudents and the press fo r"lack of support for the onlywinning team on the campus . "

Laithwaite said his team, win-

ners of the MeKechnie Cup for th e

last five years and the World ('u p

last year, has been ignored by th e

Ubyssey and students . "All atten-

tion has been given teams which

lose consistently," he said ,

Turning to another topic . Laaith-

waste erupted with a short, expin •

Mire blast about the position of

athletic director included in th e

Ostrom Plan, "We don't need a n

athletic director here—the students

don't want one, he said. "And yo u

van quote me on that," he a(lded i s

an afterthought .

PLAY TOP TEAM SLaithwaite said his team "play s

top U.S. universities while publici-

zed teams "play only small col-

leges ."

•

"We play Stanford and Univer-

sity of California in the World Cu p

and get crowds of 7000 up here,"he admitted, "But hardly anyon e

comes to see us play local opposi-

tion like Rowing Club, Vindex and

Meralomas ." Laithwaite' said he

considered Vuncouver teams super-

ior to American .

Money entered the pict r e, too .

"Rugby is the lone UBC spor t

which is not expensive, ',' he said .'tit costs only ten dollars per ma n

maid even then, we can't get enoug h

money to buy sweaters . "

In the last game Laithwaite' s

team played at the stadium th e

gross gate was $69 .00 . Net profi t

totalled $62.00, The coach sai d

that with such small expenses .

plus a winning club, students an d

press should support the team . "

'TOP SPORT '"Rugby should be classified a s

the top sport on the campus," hestated .

More players turn out for Eng-

lish rugby than American football ,

which gets more publicity, Laith-

waite said . "We get over 100 boys

out ; football has to scrape alongwith 30 .

"We should have our fair share

of publicity and the cheerleaders

should come out to our games," heconcluded ,

MANAGERS MEE TJI''I .LY ANDERSON has called a

meeting for all those interested I nmanaging a football or basebal lteam next year . This meeting i sto be held in the phys ed office a t12 :30 today .
