B, "Pirates of Penzance," whic h ranks with "Pinafore" as th e most popular operetta by tha t popular pair, Gilbert and Sul livan, was brilliantly presented by the Musical Society on Wednesday evening . The audi- ence, of nearly a thousand stu- dents, loudly praised the ef- forts of the young artists who , for the most part, deserved i t all . Another "super-colossal" pep meet- ing got under way with a bang on Tuesday when Jack Emerson, Maste r of Ceremonies, introduced a numbe r of artists who were received with rare enthusiasm by their critical aud- ience — especially Vic Won, smiling Chinese entertainer from the Man- darin Gardens, who brought down the house with his rendering of "Alone," and Emerton Court, acto r extraordinary . Mr . Court gave a most unusual per- formance . With a few easy stroke s of the "chalk and clay" sticks, an- athema to the average amateur actor , and the addition or removal of a wi g of scant white locks, he became Age , Youth, "Coon"—anything he wished . All it needed was the striking of a n attitude and the impersonation was complete . The audience seemed t o find him equally effective in hi s heart-moving imitations of Old Blac k Joe and a blind Irishman ;,a in the more comic characters of Charli e Chaplin, Adolf Hitler, a Pander St . Oriental and Groucho Marx. Isabel and Kenny Haight, tap and acrobatic dancers, have appeared be - fore the student audience before, bu t in their case familiarity does no t seem to breed contempt . When the y appeared in two of their soft-sho e tap dances, Senkler of Discipline - Committee fame was observed to si t up and take notice Jackie Williamson and his orchestr a provided incidental music—and not s o incidental at that, especially in Duk e Ellington's 'Solitude," when the ai r was taken up by trombone, trumpe t and clarinet in rapid succession . Wit h Wylie proved his right to a plac e among the moderns in his catchy , quick-moving solos of "Body an d Soul" and "Some clay Sweetheart . " Jack Emerson kept the breaks be- tween acts filled up with a series o f jokes and snappy comebacks, the ex- cuse for the latter being given by a heckler (or possibly a stooge) in th e audience . Said heckler was r .o matc h for Mr, Emerson's wit, and had t o content himself with enthusiasti c tooting of the machine known as a "rassberry," Emerson did not seem to find this annoying : it certainl y gave him all the opportunity he need- ed for humour . Wholesale Fiel d Analysed Fo r Undergrad s "Wholesaling is a branch of com - merce that is more fascinating tha n any other ." With these words Mr . John Dunsmuir, of the firm of Mac- kenzie, White and Dunsmuir, opene d his talk on the wholesaling trade at the last Vocational Guidance lectur e of the term . He said that to be successful i n business, one must spend all his time , except when he is asleep ur eating , at that business . To be most suc- cessful, he said, it is better to star t at the bottom and work to the to p through the various departments . Th e going is rougher, but the experienc e more than pays for the effort . H e also said that to be really successful , WHOLESALER'S VALU E There are three reasons for th e wholesaler, he said . First, the whole- saler can give credit for a muc h longer period than the manufacturer . The manufacturer gives about te n days to settle the bills, while the wholesaler will give an indefinit e number of days to the retailer to set- tle . Second, the wholesaler can an d will supply small amounts of good s at frequent periods, where the man- ufacturer can only afford to ship i n large consignments . This necessitate s the wholesaler, :or he can take th e large shipments from the manufac- turer and store it in his warehouse , from which he can distribute it t o the retailers in his district . For thi s reason the retailer prefers to bu y from the wholesaler . He then went on to describe th e different departments of a typica l wholesaling house, and their respec- tive duties, He said that there wer e four departments in any wholesalin g house. PURCHASING DEPARTMEN T First there is the purchasing depart- ment . The personnel of this depart- ment consists of a purchasing agent , his secretaries, and a staff of buyers . The size of the staff depends entirel y on the size of the business. The duties of this department are simpl e in that It is its duty to do all th e buying for the business . But to do this, the purchasing agent has to know the buying power of the district i n which the wholesaler is operating . SALES ORGANIZATIO N The second department Is the sell - (Please turn to Page 3 ) Library Has Exhibi t Of Varied Attractio n Rare old manuscripts, commercia l advertising, objects d'art, geologica l maps, and a fascinating collector's li- brary of rare books on a great var- iety of subjects comprise the exhibi t on view at present in the Facult y Room of the Library . The exhibit , loaned by the British Government by arrangement with the British Trad e Commissioner, consists principally o f posters, books, and maps, all issue d by various departments of the Bi itish government and related to the re - sources of the Empire, its industr y and trade . Many of the books are of the greatest historical interest . Part of the Doomsday Book, made by orde r of William the Conqueror to enumer- ate and evaluate all the battlers o f land throughout England — the firs t British census—is on view in repro- duction . There are samples of th e beautifully executed maps of the Or- dnance Survey, some of them on a scale of six inches to the mile . Ther e is a facsimile of two pages of the Co- dex Sinaticus, the earliest known cop y of parts of the Bible, for which th e Government and people of Englan d recently paid one million dollars , making it by far the most costly book in the world . The exhibition includes many inter- esting photographs of the art treas- ures of the British Nation, scores o f BEST IN FIVE YEAR S In fact, old-timers say that thi s year's offering is the best that th e Musical Society has done for at Toas t five years . An excellent orchestra , good lighting, and pleasing sets helpe d to make the show the success it is . For the most part, the men wer e not well made-up . The most glarin g example of this fault was the Pirat e King, Ian Douglas, who had the Groucho Marx face with Eddie Can - tor ens . One wouls( not luivt, been_ surprised if he had at any momen t pulled out a cigar, gone into a crouch, and queried, "How'm I dole'? " On the other hand, the member s of the ladies chorus and the feminin e principals were properly grease - painted . In the chorus Marjorie Find - lay made a particularly pretty pic- tu'e and looked as if she had sudden- b' come to life from Grandma's ol d Family Album, with her bonnet, he r frills, and her rosy cheeks . WIT AND TALEN T SPARKLE TUESDA Y AT NOON PEP MEE T Alice Rowe, whose fine soprano voic e was heard to great advantage In th e lilting melodies of "Pirates of Pen- zance," In which she takes the roman - tic lead . Popular Visitor s Include Court , Won, Emerso n ALICE ROWE GOO D Of the leading characters, Alic e Rowe as Mabel gave the best per- formance . She coupled a well-trained voice with considered (but not ap- pearing so) acting. She was possibl y equalled, but not excelled by Lillia n Walker as Ruth, the Pirate maid, wh o looked convincingly ugly—tree wor k of the make-up man—and who inter- preted her part well . Douglas Ford, as Frederick, th e hero, started off his performance i n a wooden manner . Although his voic e was at no time anything but pleasing , his acting suffered a great deal fro m either nervousness or unconsciou s stiffness . This manner, however , passed away during the second act, and his trio with Ruth and the Pirat e King was delightful . OUTSTANDING MAN A . K . Macleod as the comical Ma- jor-General Stanley caught the aud- ience at once . Without overacting , and he had no lack of opportunities , he delivered his famous dissertatio n on the qualities of modern major - generals . His costume and make-u p helped considerably to make him th e most outstanding of all the men i n the cast . Mournfully perfect in the role o f the sad Sergeant of Police was Gor- don Stead . In the costume of th e Victoria, B .C . Police Departmnt he led his 'boys' through their paces i n a manner that had the crowd almos t on their feet in approval , Overacting spoiled some of the ef- fect that Morley Neal as the Pirat e Lieutenant might have made . Scene - stealing is sometimes permissible, bu t he made the mistake of distracting th e audience from the important action . That is never permissible , DUET HIGH SPOT The orchestra handled the musi c acceptably . As it should, it neve r stressed the accompaniment to th e extent of ' drawing attention—but th e singers were able to feel that the y had capable support in all their work .

    By D. R. B,

    "Pirates of Penzance," whichranks with "Pinafore" as th emost popular operetta by thatpopular pair, Gilbert and Sul •livan, was brilliantly presentedby the Musical Society onWednesday evening. The audi-ence, of nearly a thousand stu-dents, loudly praised the ef-forts of the young artists who ,for the most part, deserved i tall .

    Another "super-colossal" pep meet-

    ing got under way with a bang on

    Tuesday when Jack Emerson, Maste r

    of Ceremonies, introduced a numbe r

    of artists who were received with

    rare enthusiasm by their critical aud-

    ience — especially Vic Won, smiling

    Chinese entertainer from the Man-

    darin Gardens, who brought down

    the house with his rendering of

    "Alone," and Emerton Court, actor

    extraordinary .

    Mr . Court gave a most unusual per-

    formance . With a few easy strokes

    of the "chalk and clay" sticks, an-

    athema to the average amateur actor,

    and the addition or removal of a wi g

    of scant white locks, he became Age ,Youth, "Coon"—anything he wished .

    All it needed was the striking of an

    complete . The audience seemed t ofind him equally effective in hisheart-moving imitations of Old BlackJoe and a blind Irishman ;,a in themore comic characters of CharlieChaplin, Adolf Hitler, a Pander St .Oriental and Groucho Marx.

    Jack Emerson kept the breaks be-tween acts filled up with a series ofjokes and snappy comebacks, the ex-cuse for the latter being given by aheckler (or possibly a stooge) in theaudience . Said heckler was r.o matchfor Mr, Emerson's wit, and had tocontent himself with enthusiastictooting of the machine known as a"rassberry," Emerson did not seemto find this annoying : it certainlygave him all the opportunity he need-ed for humour .

    Wholesale FieldAnalysed ForUndergrads

    "Wholesaling is a branch of com -

    merce that is more fascinating tha n

    any other." With these words Mr .John Dunsmuir, of the firm of Mac-kenzie, White and Dunsmuir, opene dhis talk on the wholesaling trade atthe last Vocational Guidance lectur eof the term.

    He said that to be successful inbusiness, one must spend all his time,except when he is asleep ur eating,at that business. To be most suc-cessful, he said, it is better to startat the bottom and work to the topthrough the various departments. Thegoing is rougher, but the experiencemore than pays for the effort . Healso said that to be really successful,

    WHOLESALER'S VALUE

    There are three reasons for thewholesaler, he said . First, the whole-saler can give credit for a muc hlonger period than the manufacturer .The manufacturer gives about te ndays to settle the bills, while thewholesaler will give an indefinit enumber of days to the retailer to set-tle . Second, the wholesaler can an dwill supply small amounts of goodsat frequent periods, where the man-ufacturer can only afford to ship i nlarge consignments . This necessitatesthe wholesaler, :or he can take thelarge shipments from the manufac-turer and store it in his warehouse ,from which he can distribute it t othe retailers in his district . For thisreason the retailer prefers to buyfrom the wholesaler .

    He then went on to describe th edifferent departments of a typica lwholesaling house, and their respec-tive duties, He said that there werefour departments in any wholesalinghouse.

    PURCHASING DEPARTMEN T

    First there is the purchasing depart-ment . The personnel of this depart-ment consists of a purchasing agent ,his secretaries, and a staff of buyers.The size of the staff depends entirel yon the size of the business. Theduties of this department are simplein that It is its duty to do all th ebuying for the business . But to dothis, the purchasing agent has to knowthe buying power of the district i nwhich the wholesaler is operating .

    Library Has ExhibitOf Varied Attraction

    Rare old manuscripts, commercia l

    advertising, objects d'art, geologica l

    maps, and a fascinating collector's li-

    brary of rare books on a great var-

    iety of subjects comprise the exhibi t

    on view at present in the FacultyRoom of the Library . The exhibit ,loaned by the British Government byarrangement with the British Trad eCommissioner, consists principally o fposters, books, and maps, all issue dby various departments of the Bi itishgovernment and related to the re -sources of the Empire, its industr yand trade.

    Many of the books are of thegreatest historical interest . Part ofthe Doomsday Book, made by orderof William the Conqueror to enumer-ate and evaluate all the battlers ofland throughout England — the firs tBritish census—is on view in repro-duction. There are samples of th ebeautifully executed maps of the Or-dnance Survey, some of them on ascale of six inches to the mile. Thereis a facsimile of two pages of the Co-dex Sinaticus, the earliest known copyof parts of the Bible, for which theGovernment and people of Englan drecently paid one million dollars ,making it by far the most costly bookin the world

    .The exhibition includes many inter-

    esting photographs of the art treas-ures of the British Nation, scores o f

    BEST IN FIVE YEAR S

    In fact, old-timers say that thi s

    year's offering is the best that th e

    Musical Society has done for at Toast

    five years . An excellent orchestra ,

    good lighting, and pleasing sets helped

    to make the show the success it is .

    For the most part, the men wer e

    not well made-up . The most glaring

    example of this fault was the Pirate

    King, Ian Douglas, who had the

    Groucho Marx face with Eddie Can-

    tor ens. One wouls( not luivt, been_surprised if he had at any momen t

    pulled out a cigar, gone into a

    crouch, and queried, "How'm I

    dole'? "

    On the other hand, the member s

    of the ladies chorus and the feminine

    principals were properly grease-

    painted . In the chorus Marjorie Find -

    lay made a particularly pretty pic-

    tu'e and looked as if she had sudden-

    b' come to life from Grandma's ol d

    Family Album, with her bonnet, he rfrills, and her rosy cheeks .

    lilting melodies of "Pirates of Pen-

    zance," In which she takes the roman -

    tic lead .

    Popular Visitor sInclude Court ,Won, Emerson

    ALICE ROWE GOO DOf the leading characters, Alice

    Rowe as Mabel gave the best per-formance . She coupled a well-trainedvoice with considered (but not ap-pearing so) acting. She was possiblyequalled, but not excelled by LillianWalker as Ruth, the Pirate maid, wholooked convincingly ugly—tree wor kof the make-up man—and who inter-preted her part well .

    Douglas Ford, as Frederick, th ehero, started off his performance i na wooden manner . Although his voicewas at no time anything but pleasing,his acting suffered a great deal fromeither nervousness or unconsciou sstiffness . This manner, however ,passed away during the second act,and his trio with Ruth and the Pirat eKing was delightful.

    OUTSTANDING MANA. K. Macleod as the comical Ma-

    jor-General Stanley caught the aud-ience at once. Without overacting ,and he had no lack of opportunities ,he delivered his famous dissertationon the qualities of modern major -generals . His costume and make-u phelped considerably to make him themost outstanding of all the men i nthe cast .

    Mournfully perfect in the role ofthe sad Sergeant of Police was Gor-don Stead. In the costume of theVictoria, B .C. Police Departmnt heled his 'boys' through their paces ina manner that had the crowd almoston their feet in approval ,

    Overacting spoiled some of the ef-fect that Morley Neal as the PirateLieutenant might have made . Scene-stealing is sometimes permissible, bu the made the mistake of distracting th eaudience from the important action .That is never permissible ,

    acceptably . As it should, it neverstressed the accompaniment to theextent of 'drawing attention—but th esingers were able to feel that the yhad capable support in all their work .

    PEACE SOCIETY

    Some time ago the Ubyssey published a let -

    ter from some Eastern society, which set forth

    the organization of peace efforts working in

    Canada today. Prominently figuring in these

    societies were student peace organizations .

    The campus here has been noticeably lack-ing in these manifestations of student senti-

    ment. Although a worthy will sometimes writ e

    a letter to the editor pointing out some hideous

    war menace in our midst and an occasiona llecturer will give us a sober talk on the inter-

    national outlook from a peace-lover's point

    of view, the general campus outlook seems tobe comfortably vague on the subject .

    It might be a good thing if some of our mor e

    earnest souls livened things up a bit. Anti-war

    demonstrations may be slightly naive, but the

    idea behind them is wholesome enough .

    We have a score of books on the subject ,purchased in the days of our violent pacifism ,

    and we have been waiting some three years fo r

    some appropriate society to spring into being ,so that we might make a donation, and becomeone of the patron saints . What are the chances ?What has become of Mr . John George Hill ,we do not seem to have noticed his name in

    the news recently. He would have known ho wto handle our dilemma !

    CONGRATULATIONS, MUSICIAN S

    We are happy to congratulate the Musica lSociety on their product i on of "The Piratesof Penzance" which is, on the whole, the bes tproduction of the Society that we can recall.

    Considering the vocal limitatipns that ar ealmost inevitable where undergraduates ar econcerned, the soloists acquitted themselve ssatisfactorily, and the choral work was distin-guished. The act ing was better, on the whole ,than we anticipated, and the stage manage-ment seemed quite competent . Particularlypleasing was the appreciation of comic values ,which can be wasted so mercile ssly throughinept handling .

    We heartily recommend the "Pirates " toany student who has not yet seen it, and wishesany light, musical enterta i nment .

    THE EDITOR IS WITHOUT AN IDE A

    Thelations ,

    exercising a calm, impartial judgment on al lmatters, spiritual and temporal ; he must droppears of wisdom and not revert to foolishness—the province of the columnist •

    He must be an Olympian being who viewswith unperturbed solemnity the petty scramb-ling of his fellows . It is only when he is re-quired to open his editorial lips and speak, an dat the same time is uttery sterile as regard sideas, inspiration, or observations, that he i sbereft of his majesty and becomes a mere fret-ful human .

    Did you ever notice the little bag at th eneck of a lawyer's gown between the shoul-ders? There's a reason for it .

    When the British courts began lawyerswere permitted to accept an honorar ium butcould charge no fee . The honorarium was car-ried in the little bag while the lawyer plead hi scase. And if he flagged the client could alwaysdrop in another coin, like dropping a nickl ein a slot machine.

    BOOKSELECTIONPlato, Lucian and Greek Morals—

    Imagine a book that tries to provethat George Santayana is merely abrilliant essayist, and that P . G. Wode-house is the one real philosopher ofthe day, and you have some idea ofthis one .

    The Pageant of Greece—A series ofprose and verse translations fro mGreek literature from the earlies ttimes. It lives up to its title.

    Others Abide—Translations by Hum-bert Wolfe from the Greek Anthology ;they're worth reading, unlike mostverse translations.

    Select Epigrams from the Greek An -thology—If you can read a little easyGreek, here you are ; if not, Dr . Mac-kail has added some very gracefulprose translations.

    Euripides and His Age, Gilbert Mur -ray—You probably read this book inyour freshman year, but it won'thurt you to re-read it . Very pro-Euripides .

    Greek Romances—Chocolate, withsugar coating an inch thick .

    Plutarch's Quyete of Mynde—A Fac -similie of Wyat's translation of oneof Plutarch's gentle essays .

    The Greek Tradition — Essays onsome out-of-the-way corners ofGreek life, including a rather grue-some one on Greek country-life .

    Specimina Codicum Latinorum Va-ticanorum—Don't be alarmed at th etitle : it's merely a selection of repro-ductions from Latin MSS, in the Va-tican .

This division ofthe sales organization is for servingcustomers who come to the whole-saling house to buy their goods, Th eoutside department consists of th efield men. This is the last steppingstone to an executive position in thebusiness.

    The third department is the ware-housing department . This departmenthas to take care of the goods tha tcome in from the manufacturer, cat-alogue them, and store them in theirrespective storage places . This de-partment is subdivided into four div-isions . They are the order, checking ,packing and shipping departments .Over each is a manager, and th ewarehousing manager is boss of themall .OFFICE ROUTIN E

    The fourth department is the of-fice force . "The size and personnelof this department depends entirelyon the size of the business," he said ."There may be one or one hundredpersons employed in this department ,depending on the type and size of th ebusiness," he added . In a good sizedbusiness, this department is subdiv-ided into seven sub-departments. Theyare the accounting, credit, costing,traffic, advertising, stenographic, andexchange departments.

    In concluding his lecture, he gav esome good general advice on chosin ga profession. He said to choose aprofession, determine to succeed, an dput your heart and soul into it . Hesaid that, while an education is notabsolutely necessary, it always helpsto have one . In applying for a job ,he advised, be mannerly and deter-mined, not diffident .

    "PIRATES"

    When the lights dim in the theatreon an opening night, there is a all-ence that can be heard in every cor-ner . The orchestra, playing the over-ture, seems to be keeping the aud-ience in suspense for what is to come .Every person squirms a little in theirseat, finds a comfortable angle, andsettles down to enjoy the first act -for audiences always want to like apeHormance, that is a thing misun-derstood among young actors whofear the coldness of what they be-lieve is a critical crowd .

    "Pirates of Penzance," like a lot ofGilbert and Sullivan works, hangs ona plot as thin as the ice after thefirst frost . When the finale is near-ing, there are always a lot of thingsto be cleared up. To the inexper-ienced, it looks as if the show wouldrun for another hour .

    Then, of a sudden, everybody onthe stage begins explaining things, asong or two is sung, and, to the sur-prise of all, the show is over . That i sthe charm of Gilbert and Sullivan —they never let a little thing like aplot interfere with their delightfulmusic .

    Along with the "Mikado," "Pirated"has been based on a lot of thingsthat couldn't possibly happen. Thatwas all right in the days when thesewere written—today the style is so-phistication and complication, alon gwith menace and subtleness—but theoperettas by those two Englishmenstill remain universal favorites .

    And so the Musical Society keepson producing Gilbert and Sullivan—there is no reason to stop as long a sthey don't repeat too often. The worldhears too little of delightful whimsyand pleasant, airy music as it is.

    GATES

    The University Gates, although no timposing, present an excellent targe tfor speeding motorists. Standing bythe gates in the early morning, I wai tfor the bus and watch the cars coneout of the University area on thei rway to the city . A rather large lim-ousine tears along about five to eightdaily with a speed that brings u pvague memories of newsreel shots ofSir Malcolm Campbell . I've boonwaiting ever since the snow starte dfor the big car to skid and hit thegates. But it won't !

    ZETE S

    There was, evidently, a Carniva llast Saturday. Coming into the Pu boffice Monday morning, you woul dhave thought that the thing was heldhere . The floor was covered with aliberal amount of assorted debris, in-cluding broken glass, cards, books

    ,

    and copy paper. And the tables —they were gone .

    Our three tables, and our type-writers—all gone .

    Not only were they gone, but thosewho took them refused to bring the mback. In order to bring out a Tues-day paper we had to lug the machinesback from the gym—and then usethem on the counter.

    Upon investigation is seems that theZetes, who ran a Housie-Housie out-fit at the Carnival, needed the tables.and took them. In the process o fremoving our furniture they brok eone window and scattered a lot ofvaluable papers in ten directions.Three stories for the last issue of th epaper were lost—not that that wa sa big loss but we wanted them ,

    "The Student" To '

    Reappear Soon

    On March 10, "The Student", theofficial publication of the StudentLeague of Canada, will re-appear onthe campuses and in the High Schools .

    This magazine is the only one inthe country that concerns itself solel ywith the general run of student prob-lems and events which involve stu-dents. It is a pioneer in the field.

    Financial troubles, familiar to al lself-run publications has stilled itscontroversial voice for some months,but once more its articles will chal-lenge student apathy . Discussed fav-orably and unfavorably from coast tocoast, "The Student" has to its credi tin past issues the fact that it hasbrought vital problems to the atten-tion of student bodies . The editorialpolicy of the magazine makes an at -tempt to instil a measure of socialconsciousness in students and to ex -plain the basic relationship of theschool to the outside world.

    Three featured articles will tell ofthe current situations at the Univer-sities of McGill, Toronto and BritishColumbia . Another article will re-count the organization, growth andattitude of the "Student Peace Move-ment ." Plans for sending Canadiandelegates to a World Youth Congressat Geneva, in August, will be dis-cussed . This congress is endorsed byRemain Rolland, Lord Cecil, AndreMalraux, Lord Marley and sponsoredby a wide variety of' world youth or .ganizations under the slogan of'Peace, Freedom and Progress" An -other feature article will deal withthe much neglected problem of stu-dent self-government and the typica lset-up and present failure as they arenow constituted . Other articles an dfeatures will be announced prior topublication .

    A new business management an dpreparation for increased circulationmake certain that this issue will bediscussed and debated by many hun-dreds who have never read "The Stu -dent" in the past .

    Any inquiries and further particu-lars will be given by correspondingwith the Student League of Canada ,139 Brunswick avenue, Toronto .

    Daily papers are such valuable things . Now ,for instance, the Associated press sends ou tan article today, information collected by Dr .Arthur F. Payne, director of the personne lbureau of the College of the City of New York,and telling people how to go about getting ajob, but more especially how to go about notgetting a job .

    That's a genuine service to humanity. Hesays: "Don't take the first job offered to you . "

    Heh, heh. That's one thing I've never done .I don't say I never will, always providing, ofcourse, that some day someone does offer m eone ,

    "And don't say you will take any job at an ywage under any working conditions . You couldeasily develop a neurosis in some jobs, wher eothers would be quite happy. My dear, ima-gine picking up neurosis while out job-hunting ,I always say you can't be too careful about thepeople you go job-hunting with ,

    "Don ' t give your prospective employer th ehard job of finding out for himself just whatyou are good for. Do you know your strengths ,weaknesses, capacities, abilitie s? "

    This job of be i ng Ubyssey columnist is plea-sant and keeps away the big bad neuroses, bu tit threatens to peter out . This makes the fourthyear as columnist of some sort, and I don' tthink I've got the nerve to go on into a fifth .It would begin to look like a Harpo Marx an-swer, when someone accused him of being il-literate .

    "Why," he said with dignity, "I spent thebest years of my life in Grade 3 ."

    So pretty soon I 'll be sallying forth to getmyself a new job, and Dr . Payne's little rule sshould be very helpful. Apparently there aresome jobs now . News of three local boys mak-ing good seeped through last week . There's theGreat D. C. Macdonald and Chris Fletche rsinging Antipodeanly (whoops) on the radio ,and a two years', ago graduate recently got hi sfirst job since then, driving a hearse .

    (Pause for thought : how does one sell one -self as a hearse-driver, and what about th eneroses? )

    So I think I'll just write me a form lette raccording to Payne and leave thousands o fthem where I think they 'll do me the mostgood .

    "Dear Sir (or Madam) :"I'm going to save you the trouble of find-

    ing out for yourself just what I am good for ,lest you leap ,at negative conclusions. The fol-lowing are my strengths, weaknesses, capaci-tie s, abilities and peculiarities .

    "I can tear a telephone book in two dia-gonally, right through the back binding, the nrip it across again, which shows my strength .On the other hand I have never been able suc-cessfully to cope with the people that own thetelphone that goes with it, particularly whenit was just issued last week, which shows cer-tain weaknesses .

    "My capacities : For mushrooms, infinite ,coffee, large but indefinite, steak, pretty big ,the Better Things in Life, possibly six glasses .

    "My abilities : I can play `Long, Long Ago 'with two hands, and the Chopin Nocturnewhich starts G, E, D, E, D, C, with a hand an da half . I can type and I know shorthand up tothe-shun hook chapter. I was also to collitchsome years ago, and learned some interestingthings . I can wash dishes and drive a car an dplay bridge and craps,

    "My peculiarities: I don 't paint my finger-nails red (if Sir), I'm kind to children anddumb animals (if Madam) . No matter howhard I try I couldn't get to work before te nthirty, without getting neuroses, and I have t ohave an hour off for tea, besides an hour fo rlunch.

    All the male choruses were pleas-ing, but then they have been writtenwith a swing that makes it impossibl efor one to dislike them if they are ren-dered with any degree of efficiency .

    JAPANESE DEBAT EAT WASHINGTON

    In a return meet at Seattle three

    members of the Japanese Students'Club of this university will opposethree speakers from a similar organ-ization on the University of Washing-ton campus on the topic of the Sec-ond Generation Marriage Problem .The forensic encounter is to take theform of a "Problem-Solving Debate, "so called by Its formulator, Prof .Frederick Orr of the University ofWashington .

    Problem Solving differs from theestablished form of debate in elimin-ating the "affirmative" and "nega-tive" aspect from the argument andconcentrating, instead, on a solutionof the problem at issue . "This typ eof debating tends to break down un-desirable prejudices, and develops intheir place tolerance and broadmind-edness," contends its originator.

    The resolution therefore will beframed as follows, "How can tire Sec-ond Generation Marriage problem besolved?"

    This debate revives a traditional ri-valry between the two Japanese Stu -dents' Clubs. Shinobu Higashi, Rog-er Obata and Kunito Shoyama are t odefend the honor of the Alma MeterSociety .

    PROTEST

    Many students were very indignan tover the inadequacy of the accomoda -lion given the distinguished speaker,Major McLaren. He was forced togive his talk in stuffy, overcrowdedArts 100, continually interrupted byflapping blinds and sizzling and hiss-ing radiators. The inexperience of theprojector operators caused many ofthe slides to be shown backwards .

    When a distinguished man like Ma-jor McLaren offers his time to theUniversity, it is only right that he begiven a little more consideration .

    Sc . '38 apologizes for the moronicmembers of the class who spread the

    ' obnoxious fumes of butyric acid allover the University last week.

"Joe", Captain, and main -stay of the luckless Senior A's, ha sbeen chosen by Province sport-wri-ters as a first string guard on theannual Inter-City All-Stars--congratsJoe! Another young ball-tossing as-pirant who plays along side of ou rperfect-player on the A team—Lloy dDetwiller—deserves honorable men-tion for his fine showing this year—his first in Senior company .

    Hats off to the English ruguy club ,one of the Pew to uphold the Varsit ytradition in the sport field—they'v epractically won the Miller and Mc-Kechnie cups.
