Butscrap metal of various kinds, vita lto the war effor t, was collected i ngenerous quantities . At out. timesix sweating Freshmen, greenties dangling, heaved on thei rtruck an old gas range .

One Freshman came backscreaming, "What luck! Two ol dboilers and three bicycles in on eblock ." At ten o'clock the hastil yladen trucks hauled the scrap tothe National Salvage HeadquartersWarehouse and the exhauste dFreshmen class repaired by car tothe McGill women's residence ,where they topped off the even-ing with two hours' dancing.

SCIENCEMEN VOICE OPINION SVigorously leading the attack ,

Arvid Backman, fourth-year scien-ceman, charged that the adoptio nof the plan would lead to cotn-mercialism in campus politics anda deterioration in college spiri tHe pointed to many American un-iversities where football stars arepaid, as a parallel of what wouldhappen at U .B .C .

Charles Nash, Men's Undergrad-uate Society President and fifth -year mechanical engineer, stresse dthat "the payment is the same asan honorarium and will enablemen to run for the positions with-out fear of the financial obstaclewhich now loaves them open onl yto students who can afford them .Those elected will be able to re -turn early from summer employ-ment and so prepare themselve sfor the heavy tasks of the winte rterm.

According to reports from reliablequarters, the men of science were suppose dto make an appeal at Wednesday's AlmaMater meeting for more money to be spen ton Pass Features this year in their faculty .'T,itis decision, we are informed, was mad eat the S.M.U.S. meeting held the day pre-vious but the plan never developed .

It is perhaps fortunate that the matterdid not arise for lengthy discussion on Wed-nesday, for it would have been merely awaste of time. Since the beginning of theterm Students' Council, and the L .S.E .President in particular, have been workingon plans which will result in student,' re-ceiving more value for their Pass Moneythan they have done in recent years .

The general feeling of the Council isthat more features should be offered whichhave a particular appeal to several smalle rgroups of students rather than concentratesolely on presentations which only vaguelyinterest much larger 'audiences .

Therefore, all societies on the campu swill be approached and asked to submi tto the L.S.E. President suggestions for PassFeatures which would be of special interes tto their own particular group of students .For example, the American Institute of

Associate EditorsLucy Berton, Margaret Reid

Electrical Engineers, the Society of Tech-nical Agriculturalists, the Historical Societ yand all other clubs will be asked to suggestto L.S.E. the type of program or speake rthey would like to have appear for theirstudent following under the Pass System .These suggestions will be carefully consid-ered and Pass Features arranged, as far a spossible, in accordance with them .

Some students may claim they do no tbelong to any of the organizations whic hcome under L.S.E. and therefore they willnot benefit from this plan. Students' Coun-cil has considered that possibility too .

A Special Events Committee has beenset up to act entirely separately from anyclub in gathering suggestions for Pass Fea-tures of general interest . This Committee ,composed of three carefully chosen men wh orepresent a cross-section of all student opin -ion, will submit their suggestions to theCouncil through L.S.E. also. Thus, two dis-tinct "suggestion-making " machines will beco-ordinated through one head .

In this manner it is hoped that the bes tprograms available may be obtained by th ePass Fund and presented as often as finan-cially possible to the groups who havechosen them in the first place,

• THE WEEKLY MEETING ofthe Students' Council has been

duly called to order and Secre-tary Atkin blissfully rambles onthrough her minutes while : Mc-Bride scrum his agenda seriously ;Porter just as seriously tries invain to hit the wastepaper basketwith paper balls; Davies goesaround the room opening windowsto get fresh-air ; Buck rolls up hissleeves and tilts his chair backready for action; Morris slowlygoes to sleep ; Nash nonchalantl ypours himself a glass of water ;Nicholson bbsily writes an essay .

• Although the agenda is ver ylong tonight McBride run s

through It in record time becausehe has to got to a rushing function .Eckardt wasn't as considerate ashe, however . She left for a soror-ity rushing pasty as soon as sup-per was finished In Brock DiningRoom .0 THE COUNCIL deliberates on a

suggestion which President L .S . Kllnck made to cut down onadministration expenses of thestadium. The President's plan tosave the students money was toobtain sheep to keep down th egrass and weeds on the footballfield.

"A few sheep grazing in thestadium field would look as pret-ty as deer in a park," remarkedthe University President.

Council thanks the President forhis suggestion, but feels the sameas Buck who said, "I would hateto be tackled on a field just re-cently grazed by sheep! "

• IT IS A THROWBACK, n odoubt, to his summer job days

fear that their voice won't beheard on Council while they haveNash and Buck representing them.Buck contests every move if ther eis even the slightest danger thatthe redshlrts are being over-look-ed,• ONE FROM LAST WEEK : A

very important matter is be -fore the Council and a deep hushhas fallen over the room whilethe tin-gods try to think itthrough. Suddenly a voice crashe sthe golden silence and breaks th espell .

"Excuse me, Mr . President, areyou going out to Kerrisdale be -fore the Fresh? "• ALL KIDDING aside, this year' s

had his tongue torn out by red hot pincers )was well attended .

Moreover the Society transacted muchUseful Business . Mr. Arthur ("The Ham-mer of Syntax") Fouks made one of hisfiery speeches in Fouksy language, madeup of words from the English dictionarystrung together according to secret rules .However the clear light of Mr. Fouks' in-tellect shone forth, and edified one and all .In spite of Mr. Beckman's leather-lungedand seemingly unpunctuated protestations,the Society decided to grant certain studen tofficials "Honoraria" ..—carefully to be dis-tinguished from " Salaries".

Mr. Porter read us a prolonged sum-mary of the financial achievements of theSociety, which so lulled us that a motionradically amending the constitution waspassed in its stocking feet immediatelyafterward. But the graceful Mr. Bonnerquickly slipped out of the arms of Morpheu sso neatly twined about him by Mr. Porterand rent( the air with horrid shrieks, urgingthe students to defend their liberties .

So eloquent was Mr. Bonner that theSociety was obviously getting ready to re-scind every minute do the book. This wasonly averted by the smooth competence ofMr. Morris, whose seemingly casual, but re-peated references to "Your Council" so in-flated our egos and gratified our personalpride that we were ready to do anythin gthat he asked us.

But Woe! Woe! to Messrs . Nash andBuck! There is surely wailing and gnashin gof gears amidst the Sciencemen for theywere sorely let down, when these colleague sof theirs adopted a quiet ' and rational at-titude, and, treading delicately, spoke withcare, moderation and elegance, and com-pletely eschewed pig-headed bias of anydescription.

One gathered incidentally in connectionwith election dates, that last year 's Counci lhad, by legitimate vote of the Society as-sembled, been solemnly empowered to con-sider the advisability of appointing a com-mittee to study the question of electiondates .

THE GERMAN LANGUAGE, ANDOTHER ASPECTS OF KNITTING

•' TODAY I READ in a Physics book :"Alles, was geschieht (anhebt zu sein)

aetzt etwas voraus, worauf es nach elnerRegel folgt." The author then adds ; "Thisstatement Is not scientifically clear ." He cansay that again. Anything in German Is notclear. It is impossible to unfold a straighttale in German. You have to say every-thing partly backwards. More accurately ,you start In the middle of the sentence, andwork both ways . If you have anything par-ticularly important to say (which Is un-likely) you put it at the end. All the verbspile up at the end in a struggling heap. Ifyou lose the last page of a German three-volume novel, you're done for. All theverbs are there .

Quite often they have the colossal im-pertinence to split up words into fragments ,and cram the rest of the sentence in themiddle. As for instance : "He SA— having-removed his cigarette, stood up and curse dunder his breath, LUTED."

They make up for this, though, bysticking together great piles of other wordsinto great indigestable lumps without jointor seam. To translate these horrors, yo ufirst have to pick them apart with a pencil .Then you look up all the bits separately.Then you try to figure out what the wholething means, remembering that Germansnever think straight. The whole thingsounds like Mohawk by the time you'v edone with it . I cannot countenance a lang-uage that would describe an ordinary thinglike a shovel as: "Metal- thing-dig-with-to-whom -in-perhaps-the-garden-unless-other-wise," The whole thing is monstrous, an dI spit me of it, as we say in French, whic hwe will take up next week .

University holidays may be dividedinto two classes: public and Roman. OnWednesday we had one of the latter, in th eform of an Alma Mater Society meeting .This "annual semi-annual" meeting (thu sthe Mamooks, each of whose announcers has

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC SThe Canadian Universities Con-

ference, and a Committee of thi sConference including the Univ.r-city Presidents took action earl yduring the war to the effect tha tthe regular series of Intercolleg-iate Games should be curtailed ,especially insofar as their contin-uance would interfere with mill-tary training at the Universities

On this understanding the mill-tary authorities sanctioned mill-tary training at the Uuiversitie sand offered exemption from othe rmilitary training during the per-iod of a student's attendance pro-vided that all physically fit mal estudents fulfill the requirJd mili-tary training at the University .

This agreement has been observ-ed by Canadian Universities andin the two largest Institutions al lintercollegiate sport has been dis-continued. At the University ofBritish Columbia the situation wa spresented to the University Coun-cil on Athletics and Physical Ed-ucation and the following resolu-tion was passed, Sept . 1940; thisaction was repeated, May, 1941 .

1. "that all Intercollegiate sport bediscontinued for the currentacademic year . "

2. "that no University teams beentered in extra-mural leaguegames which would interferewith military training on Sat-urday afternoons" .

COUNCIL ATTITUDEThe general attitude of this

Council is expressed in an agreedstatement ratified for a meetingof May 7, 1941.1 . That Athletics and Sport should

This situation has been the sub-ject of considerable correspond-ence on the part of other Univer-sities especially since their proxi-mity permitted regional competi-tion, without interference wit hmilitary training, while the moreextended time and expense In-volved In return games with Brit-ish Columbia precluded comple-tion of the series.

sity golf champion for at least another month but a self-acknowledged fortunate fellow if he holds the same distinc-tion at the end of the time .

McBride's golf title goes on the block this week in th eannnual Varsity Open Championship. There's a group offame-hungry fellows who are anxious to relieve him of th ehonour and every one of them a potential threat .

Here's the line-up after Mc -Bride . Top ranking again is Hans"The Austrian Apple" Swinton.Hails from Vienna, holder of theCzecho-Slovakian amateur champ-ionship, Jericho country club tit -list and a four-handicap man . He' shitting the ball a mile and hassuddenly galnqd a delicate puttingtouch which he didn't have before ,although he'd never admit it .

MORE APPLESNext In line is Jimmy "The

Kootenay Apple" Allan . Holder ofall-Kootenay championship and anative of Nelson he is a cousin ofMcBride's everywhere but on thegolf course. He knocked "cm" Mc-Bride out of the Kootenay chasein the quarterfinals of the Koote-nay tournament this summer an dsays he can do it again "I'm reall yplaying super, excellent and scin-tillating golf", says the modest Al-lan .

Bob Plommer, "The Shaughnes-sy Apple, "is as tough a hombreas any in U .B .C. tournaments andhas to his credit a fine one-downdefeat from champion Art Chris-topher in the semi-finals of theShaughnessy golf course champ-ionship . MdBricle beat him onl ytwo-tip in the semi's last year ."I'm a cinch", says Plommer . "I' mseriously thinking of withdrawin gto make sure one of the othe rboys get a chance . "

Of the new boys out of highSchool — who are too young t oworry about life and all haverazor fine putting touches — areTeddy Chambers, a clouter fro mLord Byng, and Norm Kent, an -other Byngite who once shot a73 at this writer in the final ofthe West Point Junior champion -ship, four years ago when he was14 . P.S. He won .

DARK HORSEDown from Powell River carry-

ing a display of assorted champion-ships is lanky Tom Hunter. Hunt-er played in the B.C. juniorchampionship at Jericho countryclub four years ago and turne din a pair of 78's. That was fouryears ago and he has played near-ly every day since, including ex-amination days, so you know whathe shoots now . He lost a ball o nthe last nine at Varsity the othe rday and •, scored a 38. He's pro-bably the most likely dark horse .

Opposition i n increasingl ystrengthening capacity may be ex-pected from Maury Van Vliet ,Athletic Director, who started thissummer in the 90's and who noweschews tobacco for a week if heis so foolish as to card an 85 .

Bruce Yorke and Don Kurtz —two more seventy shooters — areboth gunning for their first Var-sity title . Anyone might sneak in .

Then there's a fellow who ha sto write the doings of the golfin gfraternity .

t xplanatio n• WE MUST clear up a lot of worries that the Classic s

department has been going through. When we hast-ily made up "Convivus Scribit" for the title of our guestcolumn we merely thought to put "the Guest Writes" on amore original sounding level. Trusting a campus Latinscholar, we believed innocently that it was a masculine nou nand as such was the correct form .

After publication, hordes (the whole one of them) ofRabid Rct'nans demanded that I change it to the really cor-rect "Conviva" which happens to be the common gender .With humble apologies to the Classics department, we ar egoing to leave the title "Convivus Scribit" and let the gender sfall where they usually do. Who knows, this column maybecome famous and we wouldn't want future historians won-dering about the title when they come to write "The Fal land Decline of Canadian Journalism ."
