RAGE TWO
The engineering spirit is dead .A group of 30i engineers had to flee in con-
fusion before an army of proctors-to b eexact, two of them. With a multitude of fairmaidens waiting to be rescued, the knightserrant fled the field.
From now on the engineering battle-cr y"we' are the engineers " will have as muchmeaning as "the rains in Spain fall mainly i nthe plain".
The engineers have degenerated becauselifd for an engineer is getting too simple an d
' '1d land perspective in considering the workof these scholars, we should recall . that for.almost 2,000 years most of the greatest think-ers 'attd:othee builders of Western Europe hadembraced -Christianity. During the eighteenth
& nineteenth centuries, however, it wasa EtUtted by a growing number that therewee, nothing . outside of nature. It was fel tthat science was demonstrating' that naturewas- going on of and by itself . We now knowthat suck a conclusion was not justified . Withthe,advent of World War II, and especially i n
1 England with the Blitz, when every valuewas challenged, thinkers were driven to re -examine their basic assumptions concerningthe universe. Various important books werethe result .
C. S. Lewis, Fellow of . Maudlin College ,Oxford, one of the greatest literary critics andthinkers of our day, dealt the philosophi cnaturalism alluded to above a mortal blow inhis book "Miracles ." I In the opening chaptershe-deals with naturalism's tenet that nothin gacts independently of nature,) He shows that ,on the contrary, the minds of men must func-tion independently of nature as long as the yare thinking rationally. To assume otherwiseia, .nor- better than the aberrations of one af-flicted- with delerium tremens . To deny thevalidity of rational thought, as naturalisti cthinkers admit their system does, is to drawback, from belief in truth . This is a denial o fthe very foundation of our universities, and i smuch more damaging than has commonl ybeen realized, It has been pointed out tha tIn the long course of European history, thosewho have 'demonstrated that they have aright to speak, by their creative work an dtheir contribution to the welfare of mankind ,have usually espoused the supernatural view

Of. course, when we do see abergaln we don't waste time .
' Wily last week we saw an ad i n
the papers announcing "n gigan-tic 50 per cent discount sale ."

Now mind you, we were no t
fooled for one minute . We kne wthat ten per cent off means n odiscount ; that 25 per cent tneart s

of the universe . This Is not difficult to under-stand when the naturalistic thinkers tell u sthat, as they see things, there is. not any mean-ing to anything. Lewis formerly accepted th enaturalistic view, but found it untenable .The aim of his book has been to enable us t olay aside modern prejudices in order t oexamine candidly the early history of Chris-tianity .
Two of the greatest historians of our day ,Arnold Toynbee and Herbert Butterfield ,Professor of Modern History at Cambridge ,have both espoused Christianity. Toynbeehas felt forced to do so as the logical step i nthe light of historical ; study covering a life -time. (See his "Civilization on Trial " ), d Lastwinter' • in the lectures on "Liberty in theModern World" at Queen's University, But-terfield demonstrated that there is no depend -able' foundation for human, freedom apar tfrom Christianity .
Some of the greatest educators of our dayhave embraced Christianity as they havewrestled with the problems of modern educa-tion.! Sir I ichard Livingston, Vice Chancel-lor at Oxford University, has done so in hi s"Education for a World Adrift," and otherbooks. He says that Christianity is the lifeblood of our civilization in the West . SirWalter Moberly, Head of the Universit yGrants Committee in Britain, has indicate dthat we should look to Christianity in our re -thinking. ("The Crisis in the University . " )Canon Spencer Leeson, who was long theheadmaster at Winchester, has taken a simila rposition in the Hampton Lectures he gave a tOxford.' (See his "Christian Education .")
The names of a number of erstwhile libera lthinkers in America, such as Trueblood andNiebuhr, as well as leading scientists whohave come to the historical Christian vie wmight be added . With the abdut face of suchleaders, does it not become the rest of us toconsider with caution whether religion is outof date?

Editor, the I1byssey ,Dear Sir :
Well, I see the last blood driv efell flat . Perhaps this will brin ghome it few facts to some cf th estudents who are forever be -moaning the 'policy or using high -pressure snlesnuutship on bloo ddrives and other such endeavor's .I seem to recall certain pr e..ble dstudents who last year claimed torealize the importance of bloo ddonations co much more keenl ythan anyone else could . At thesame time they ridiculed the En -gineers because, they said, theEngineers bled only to prov etheir virility .
What an Infantile attitudethat Is! I would like to see thes e
same students when they neede da transfusion . Would they ques-tion the motive behind the dona-tion that saved their lives? O rwould they thank God thatenough donations had been madeso that there was blood availabl efor them ?
There will be another bloo ddrive in the spring 'and the En•gineers will be pushing that one .
After the spring drive, whenUDC has set the record for blooddonations among the Canadia nUniversities and when the En -gineers have withdrawn from thefield of battle to make up for th etime they have voluntarily spen tcampaigning for blood, l for onedon't want to hear any Mow -witted, holier-than-thou numb -skull lamenting the lack of altru -ism in UDC .
The Engineers, and indeed ,most of the UBC students, ar emore than willing to help in any -thing like this . A combinatio nof a echoes purpose with somegood clean fun has produced thehest results so far . So in thespring, when the Engineers tak ethne out to lead the way an dmake a name for UI3C it migh tbe more to the point If they go tsome wholehearted support an dmaybe a little cretin instead of alot of criticism .

"What faculty are you in?"
Whoops! There goes that smile
again. Now the rushee is showin ghis teeth, Isn't that cute . I wonder

Fraternity men have a strange

jabbering incoherently to a rushee
who always seems to be . beside
him. He's smiling! Gee !
Look at that poor fellow. He's
just been introduced to twenty

got his registration card out to se ewho HE is . Now nobody is talkin g
to him : Whoops! The elbow works

The much loved and much sung
old song "Wait Till The Sun

as the title of a new film—a
musical comedy. In spite of the
sparkling title, the film is neither
musical nor comical . In fact i t
piles tragic incident upon tragi c
Incident in true soap-opera rash:
ion until every character appear s
doomed to meet an untimely end .
The only musical selection dur-

secondly crooned by a Barber-

The Story follows the career
of a young barber, played by
David Wayne, in a small frontier
town named Sevillinois, startin g
In 1895 and finishing up in 1945.
It seems that while the youn g
barber is serving his country i n
the Spanish ' American War, his
wife leaves their two children
and rubs off to Chicago with one
of the customers.
However; rather than meet a
fate worse than death, . both are

young man returns from the war

EZRA WHEATCR'OPT
The Compost HeapI
BC's THREE basketball teams settle down to rigorous trihiin g
U this week as they prepare for the opening of their respectiv e
seasons over the week-end .Although a further weeding out likely will take place, the three
UDC coaches have a fairly definite idea of the material available t o
than' . Jack Pomfret, Dick Penn and Barry Cowes have selected 3 8
players so 'far who will represent UBC In outside competition .
The Thunderbirds, basketball style, face the same problem a s
' Jelly Andersen's grid team—loss of lettermen. Jack Pomtret ' s hoop men
will enter competition for the first time in four seasons without 'Art
Phillips, John Southcott and Dop Hudson ,
The three, regulars on the team for four straight seasons, will play
their ball for Eilers in the V & D Senior A League .
POMFRET WILL MISS GEOFFROBABLY THE BIGGEST blow 'to Thunderbird plans for a eucess•
F ful season came with the announcement that 'Geoff Craig will no t
be returning to school this year, The lanky, 6-root, 8-inch centr ewould have bit his peak this year and showed the form that was solong expected of him. Geoff would have more than filled the spot lef t
by Phillips had he not decided to stay out pf school for a year .
Craig is currently sparking the Clover Leafs in their hoop battle swith the Eilers . Without him Pomfret has no experienced bucke tplayer who can patrol the backboards with real authority.
Besides Phillips, Southcott and Hudson, Pomfret has lost Nti lDesaulniers, Willy Louie and Elmer Matthews, three players whq wer ewith the Birds for part of the season .
Neil has used up his eligibility at 1'B(' ; Louie isn't playing thi sseason and Matthews is currently with Artie Club .
Returning from last year's squad are Brian Upson, George Seymour ,Lundy McLeod, Gary Taylor, Danny Zaharko, Buzz Hudson and Ji mCarter .
JAYVEES WILL BOLSTER BIRDS
CARTJR AND SEYMOUR will be handling the centre slot for th e
team. Upson, an ex-whiz with Lance Hudson's Y1MCA teams, is a% veteran guard and a two-year letterman . Lundy McLeod starte dout with the Jayvees last season but was moved up to the 'Birds wher ehis push shot could do more good .
Gary Taylor and Carter also started out with Dick Penn's JuniorVarsity squad but were moved up to the Varsity before the end of th eseason. Zaharko, from Duke of Connaught . Is the smooth-laying guar dwho sparked the team last season . Buzz Hudson comes from Victori aand played for University of Washington Fresh before migrating -toUBC,
Moving up f rom the outstanding Jayvee team of last year are Ga vDempster, John McLeod, Herb Forward, and Bob Bone . All four shouldhelp the Birds greatly ,as they were the backbone of Penn's team s las tyear which some observers rate higher than the Thunderbirds .
Dempster, last season captain of the J .V. squad, is an outstandingplay-maker and a deadly shot . Little Herb Forward always hustles andshould add some drive to,the Bird attack, a quality they lacked last year ,
Both Bone and McLeod are htg and fast and were included In th eline-up when the Birds travelled to Alberta ,
PENN HAS WORRIES TOO
DICK PENN is faced with even a tougher problem than Pomfreewhen it comes to Manpower. Not a single Jayvee player ha sreturned to this year's tenon, Besides the four who are graduatin g
to the Birds, Penn will he missing Phil Barter, Lou Murphy, Dou gItrinham, Jack Herb, Laurie Iton, Bob Humphries, Max Bertram an dHector Frith .
, Huge Phil has left school and is playing his ball for Ron Weber' sClover Leaf's . ;Murphy, Itrluhan, Bertram and Frith have also finishe dwith UDC. Jack Herb tore ligaments in his knee playing football whil eItotr and Humphries haven't the time to play hall this year .
To add to Penn's worries, his squad, which played exhibition game slast winter, will be entered in the Senior A loop along with the afore -mentioned Eilers, ('lover Leafs, Arctic Club and New Westminste rModerns ,
As a nucleus for a squad Penn has lined up Robin .Abercrombie ,Ernie Nyhaug, Stu Madill, Val Christie, Harold Rourke, AI (loldie, Ji mPollack, Gerry Kenyon, AI I''otherhtghamu, ('R,ve Paul, Herman Zlokli-kovits, Dick ('limey, Hot) Gordon and [line McInnes .

Riding high on the crest bf an early season victory wav e
the Varsity Thunderbirds sailed to their third straight win on
Saturday afternoon, clobbering the downtown 's toughest repre-
sentative, the Vindex Club, 11 .6 in Miller Cup play .
tlh'ds now share the league's tleadership with North Shore Al l
Blacks and South Burnaby, both
of whom have played one mor e
game than the Birds .
Although the margin of victory
was a scant five points Birds were
far superior in every department .
'Their sweeping, pass perfect three •quarter line attacks completel y
'raffled and thoroughly disbrganiz •
ed Vindex; Lacking height in th e
Rneouts, weight in the scrum, pow •
er and thrust in the three lin eand above all the ability to co-ordinate these elements Vindex
never approached the polished pre-
cision of UBC's mighty Thunder -birds .
Centre three-quarter back Jerr y
Main chalked up the first three
points for Varsity, when he bull -
dozed over the line from ten yard sout . Bob Mortord, Birds newly dis •
covered kicker, added two more
when his convert kick from 35
yards out was good . .Taking advantage of the Vinde x
woefully weak tackling and seem-
ing inability to follow up Birdswent further ahead whin left win g -er Johnny Newton scored his fift htry of the season . One of the strong•est and most brilliant open fieldrunners in coast rugger circle s
Newton dashed 30 yards for th esecond try .
Injured ou 'a prevlaus play, .Mar -ford, although he played the re -minder of the game, did not at -tempt any more converts and th e
.last t yro tiles were unconverted .
SPOON SCORES 2Vindex, by the miraculous kic k
lug of Spoon Wotherspoon, forme r
Thunderbird player, scored al ltheir ,points in the second halt .Booting two penalty kicks, on efrom the 35 yard line and the sec-
ond from 41 yards Wotherspoo nbrought the Vindexers withinstriking distance ,
OLIPBHED TR YIt was Varsity, however, wh o
grabbed the last scoring play .
Hugbie Greenwood, a centre threeman, playing on the right wing ,scored on the prettiest and mos t
polished try of the entire game .The ball came out of a scrum o nthe loft hand side of the field andNas lined back to the three lin eby fly half Russ Wright, Eachmember of the three line carrie dthe ball before Greenwood wen t
over to score .
