Crerar Urges

More Learning

CLAIMING that "there can benothing more important than asound knowledge of ethics andcivics, and of national and loca lpolitical machinery," General H .D. G. Crerar ,ln a speech to 1000veterans in the Auditorium Tues-day noon, urged that Canadashould start a program of educa-tion on current affairs .

"Our experiences of war haverevealed the danger and futilit yof shallow thinking and selfis haction," said General Crerar inpraising the Canadian army's prac-tice of conducting regular dis-cussion periods on matters of cur -rent events .

"I believe the Canadian armyhelped to develop a national out -look in the men, and that we mustcontinue to become more tadmore Canadian, and less anti leaprovincial if we are to developinto a great and powerful nation,"he told student veterans.

Gen. Carer also stressed theneed for establishing some systemof physical examination for allCanadians.

"The results of army mbdicaishave a wider significance titanmerely military," he said in em-phasizing the fact that resultsshowed a 'staggering need' forthe implementation of medical anddental care througout the nation ,

"II submit that such a planwould contribute immensely to thehealth and happiness of Canada, "

he stated .

MYSTERY of a large paintingdelivered to the office of Alla n

Ainsworth, AMS president, las tweek, was solved on Tuesday when

Mrs. Eva Bene, post-graduate stu-dent, informed Ainsworth she haddonated the picture to UBC.

The picture, a 17th centuryFlemish work with additions byFrench classicists of t h e 1 8 t h cen-tury, represents Venus a n d

Bacchus.Angela and roses in the picture

were added by the French, Mrs .Bene said!

Mrs . Bene, now studying psy-chology, came here from Hungaryeight years ago.

Her father, an art collector, sen ther the picture before the war.No artist's name is on it.

Mrs . Bens said she understoo dthe picture would be displaye deventually in one of the ne wbuildings planned for UBC . Ains-worth did not know what its tem-porary location would be .

The applications were made aftera meeting of more than 400 veter-ans in the Auditorium Tuesdaynoon, at which John MacKenzie ,Legion housing committee chair -man, and Dave Brousson explainedplans for the homes.

Urgency of the student-veterans'housing plight was shown, Mac -Kenzie said, by the fact that nearlyall the applicants stated they wouldpay one year's rent (300) In ad-vance to help finance the scheme .

Answers to queries about theapplicants' present accommodationshowed graphically, MacKenzi esaid, the desperate need for th e"pre-fab" plan.APPLY NOW

Arguments for the expanded

brief, included :

1. Provision of summer and post-

graduate employment is urgent, asabout 80 percent of students needto work to get through university .When government-financed veter-ans no longer made up a largepart of the enrolment, registrationwould fall greatly unless student shad sure means of finding work .

2. The service would be a mean sfor eliminating criticism of thelarge movement of Canadian uni-versity graduates to the Unite dStates.

Ainsworth said the existence o fa permanent, expanded bureauwould be of great interest to hig hschool graduates ,

Most British Columbia students ,he believed, were inteersted I nfinding employment in this prov-ince . Development of importan tsecondary industries here woul ddepend on their remaining, h esaid.

Building, building, everyone has a pro-posed building for the campus tucked uphis or her sleeve, figuratively speaking .

The Canadian Legion Housing Committe eis publicly cogitating about one hundredpre-fabricated homes for veterans to sprungup "somewhere near the university," thesoon-to-appear physics , building has burstinto blueprint, and a news story on ou rfront page today tells us that an announce-ment of a university war memorial building ,is soon to rush from the lips of a jointstudent-alumni committee, which, the pressrelease informs us, has been doing muchwork for the past month.

The alumni have also been mumbling intheir Graduate Chronicle beards about th eplans of the forthcoming women' residences ,and whether they should be planned fo rquantity or quality.

The whole mumblety-jumblety has re-sulted in the lamentable fact that students ,particularly in respect to student to studen tconstruction projects, wonder, every timethey see a hat, just who is going to pull abuilding out of it,—and when.

The greatest amount of confusion has bee ndisseminated by a front page story in las tThursday's Ubyssey, calling for "a flood o fstudent suggestions for the Brock expansio nplan" and announcing grandiosely that ther ewere to be two Brock buildings for theuniversity. The story also prods would-b estudent 'suggesters impatiently by insistin gthat the Brock planning committee woul dlike to present plans to city architects withi na month. And every time a workman passes

THE UBYSSEY, Thursday, January 31, 1946, Page 2

CALLING ALL CONTRACTORSby carrying a hammer and 'a few nails ,students are accustomed to say to each othersagely, "There he goes to lay the cornerston efor the new Brock. Let's follow him . "

This is worrying the students' council an dthey hasten to explain that they are merelycalling for architectural suggestions fromthe student body as to what the Brock Hal lexpansion should entail and what it shoul dinclude. Plans of tentative student proposalswould be submitted to city architects for th enecessary estimate in cost, and that is all.Precautions are being taken to insure tha tstudents, on the basis of their experience ,list what they feel are the facilities neede dmost, so the building committee will hav esomething to rely on when future studentsinsist crossly that they would rather hav ehad fur-lined telephone booths and pool hall sinstead of club rooms and dial service i ntheir building.

Another thing that is worrying the stu-dents' council is that no one knows that inthe event that a joint student-alumni com-mittee announces a war memorial projec twithin the next two years and that projectdoes not happen to be an extension to Broc kHall, they will do an "Alphonse and Gaston"act and let the war memorial committee goahead first with its plans . That is if the jointstudent-alumni committee sees fit to recom-

mend a building, which will probably be very

likely, as students of the University of Britis h

Columbia, who have already sponsored four

different drives, seem to have contractors'

blood in their veins .

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF MARDEE DUNDAS

TIMES HAVE CHANGED .A whole generation of British Columbians

have now graduated from the University ,and the amount of time necessary for everyuniversity to become possessors of a strongalumni association has elapsed here. Ouralums, a living part• of university historywho did just as much as the government indevelopment of UBC, are a powerful group,and their opinions carry more weight tha neven they think .

It is only right that the alums shouldsolicitously watch every move of the nowadolescent university, which they peram-bulated in its infant stages out to Point Gre yfrom the Fairview shacks and pushe dthrough the "awkward age:' lade. . moredifficult by depression and lack of publi cinterest, by vigorous student campaigns .

But both the times and the attitudes ofthe students have changed from the day swhen students had to snatch what they coul dget in the way of development before thepromise turned out to be a mirage . That 'swhy there is a slight bit of friction apparen tnow as a result of alumni comment on th eproposed womens' dormitories .

The alum are nice about the whole thing,but they feel that a utilitarian, semi-perma-nent dormitory would be preferable to amore permanent nand more expensiv estructure which would house less people .Their main grief seems to be that a basemen tfor recreational facilities and a "Shampo oroom," a sore point, will replace a floor whic hmight accommodate approximately 65 mor ewomen, They also favor double rooms, an drent placed at a lower cost in a low cos tbuilding so that "their low cost will helpcompensate for the transportation costs o fthe university. "

Personally, we would like to disagree .Semi-permanent buildings were necessaryto put the university on its feet, and shuttingour eyes to the army shacks on the campus ,we feel that the days of semi-permanentbuilding are definitely past .

On with the permanent structures, which ,more costly now, will still be paying off ahundred years from now. If the universityis not able to establish permanent structure sin what is probably the greatest year of it sexpansion, it will probably never do so .

WE'RE HAPPYPersonally, we're just as glad that we

started the. Ubyssey "What Is Your Opinion"forum, and we hope that the majority o fthe student body feels that way too .

In an informal poll of five hundred stu-dents selected recently at random by re-porters, a majority gave the nod of approva lto the forum and many suggested severaltopics which they considered should be dis-cussed. Examples were "Russia," "TheFrench-Canadian Problem," "Fraternities "and "Chlorination . "

We're happy about the whole thing our -selves .

More students are reading the paper .More students are writing for the paper . Weseem to be cramming our news and ourforums into the Ubyssey, both at the sametime. We're getting more letters to theeditor . And we seem to be unearthing more

after,

columnists .People are catching on to the idea . The

original plan was to throw open a spot i nthe Tuesday and Thursday papers forstudent discussion on topical points . Stu-dents had complained that we hadn't give nenough space to student opinion; we hadprotested that we had neither the opinionsnor the space.

We are announcing our fourth panel topicin this issue. It will be "Racial Prejudice, "suggested for review by an overwhelmingnumber of students . Additional ideas willbe welcomed.

Make your contribution short, 700 word sat the most, and keep the deadlines which w eannounce with each topic in mind, as w ehave to limit the discussion on each subject .You can always write a letter to the edito r

if you miss a panel.

Ruby's PublicityDear Madam :

There has be : n much talk of lateabout anti-fraternity and anti -sorority feeling on the campus .Whether or not this was jusitfie dpreviously, there can be littledoubt left in the minds of moststudents at UBC after the mag-nificent display of pettiness an dsnobbery in connection with RubyDunlop's being elected Queen ofthe Mardi Gras .

There can be no excuse for thelack of publicity in downtownnewspapers, and even less'for th eUbysey "write up," insulting inits brevity .

The contrast with sororityqueens ' publicity in previousyears only serves to emphasizethe discrimination against thisyear 's freshette queen. And yetsome people seem unable to un-derstand why there should be anyanimosity toward the Greek Let -ter Societies.

If those responsible considettheir coverage adequate, I can se eno possible objection to havingtheir names published in the

Ubyssey, in order that they matree2ive the credit they deserve .

Yours truly ,Bob Harwood .

TO ANYONE who reads a news -paper, the veterans' sit-dow nstrike in Hotel Vancouver is ol dpotatoes ; but it proved very in-teresting to us, because for th efirst time in our lives we got apeek behind the scene that madethe week-end's headlines. Perhap syou'd like to come back-stage withus for awhile .

We had often wondered whypeople like to be reporters. Wecouldn't credit that printers'-ink-in-the-blood theory, of course, an ddecided that some-day we woul ddo some real sociological investi-gation. We didn't nave to wai tlong for a first class case .

A couple of policemen werestanding near the door, but the ymade no sign of intention tostrike-break us, so we got in al ltight . Though the hobby d theonce-grand building was dull andheaped with rubble and oldboards, we made out several peo-ple . A couple of ladles approachedus and asked us nicely :

"Are you with us? ""IN spirit, Yes," we said, fearful

lest somebody on the dry squadshould find we have a place t olive already. Besides, Jim' s aLiberal.

"We 're glad to have sympathiz-ers," said the pretty one . "You'llfind the rest upstairs, If you'd liketo go up." Jim smiled back ather, but she had some other busi-ness to attend to and left us .

The next person we ran into

Ace Sun columnist Ray Gardne rwas there, and though we ar esure it was accidental, he looke devery bit the Hollywood versionof a newspaper man . He seeme dmost preoccupied ; a cigarette stuckto his lower lip ; and he wore aDana Andrews-model Stetson ,tilted back .

Presently a couple of radio sta-tion attendants crawled by, carry-ing 700 pounds of equipment . IanArrel explained that he was goingto record a "man-with-a-micro-phone" program for later re -broadcast . ' We didn't get CKWXon the dial that night, but theyprobably scooped North America .It just goes to show you. With al lthe reporters about, the striker slooked mighty few and far be-tween.

Dear Madam :In Saturday's Ubyssey, unde r

the query "Political Parties on theCampus?" which I presume isasking whether we should orshould not have them, you invitedstudents to submit their views onthe subject . Here, for what theyare worth, are mine .

I hate to shock you, Madam,but your query is out of date .Madam there already ARE politi-cal parties on the campus .

Perhaps no sad-eyed intellectualdeputation with proletariancrumbs of bread and cheese in it scollective whiskers has as yetpenetrated yew• cloistered lair i nthe bowels of the Brock, but I ,drifting quietly around the earn -pus, have had numerous seriou sverbal encounters with young menand women who believe that so-cialism is the cure-all for ou rtroubled times and who honestl yconceive it their patriotic duty toconvert me (I have a vote) t otheir position . Equally I have hadsolemn young men, Union Jackfirmly in hand, endeavor to ex -plain (unsuccessfully) the difference between Liberal and Con-servative .

This and similar stuff I presum eto be political activity on behalfof political parties. Although Iam not as yet converted I find thispolitical (horrible word) activit ymost stimulating and I believe tha tif the AMS will pull its head ou tof the sand and assist these groupsin forming clubs, the univer-sity will be better enabled to be-come a cradle at real democracy ,which after all should be its firs tfunction.

Well, Jim was game, so we head-ed along toward the Hotel. Weexpected picketing and riot squads .But there was none of that eithe rand we decided it/must be a vet-erans' show and not a Capital -Labor Revolution .

was our old pal Bill Tutte, a for-mer UBC boy who writes most o fthe news you hear . on CKWX .Without looking up, he mumbled"hello" and went' on scribblingnotes.

It seemed to be a race to seewhich reporter could get the mos tdown. The Press, incidentally in-cluding Jim any myself, outnum-bered the vets 3 to one . Jim pre -tended he was from the KitsilanoTimes and we grunted somethingabout the Tokio Herald, However ,no-one bpthered us .

We went upstairs, eventually ,and found a meeting going on .Photoflash bulbs brightened thesecond-floor corridor continually .It was good to see Art Jones, wh oset high standards of photographyon this campus, pressing the shut -ter fora downtown paper ,

"How about yourself?" counter-ed a smiling woman sympathiser ,

"Well," replied Austin, "I'm hereas a veteran fighting for veterans'rights, but I also belong to a po-litical party. It would be betternot to mix politics up with thisstrike . "

Mr. Delaney's attitude was fairenough and they permitted him todecline . A couple of others wer eelected, some committees chosen ,and things broke up. Jim got tiredof pretending he was a reporter ,and we didn't really think theTokio Herald could use our stuff ,to we left .

There you have it . No shootin' ,no fireworks, no haids bashed in .Just a quiet afternoon, but itmade headlines from coast t ocoast .

the development of great parlia-mentarians and I think that poli-tical clubs here at UBC could fos-ter men equally capable who coul dgive us leadership in the parlousyears ahead.

Yea, let us have political clubs,parades, pamphlets and all . Theymay help to dispel Mr. Klenman'shazy fairyland.

Speaking of Mr. Klenman, ho wanyone who starts an article witha screamingly funny line like "I'l lbet a barrel of monkeys to deadgoldfish" has the cold nerve to re-fer to anyone as hair-baked, as h edoes at the end of his whole as-tounding article, is beyond me .

As a sample of Mr . Klenman'sclarity and coherence, let me quot etwo consecutive sentences from hisarticle: sentence one "Keep poll-tics off the campus," sentenc etwo "Bring speakers of ever ygroup and faction out to talk tous," The rest of Mr . i~1enman sarticle is even more illogical . Fieon you Mr . Klerxnanl Back intoyour purple cloud and think whatyou are saying before you chargeinto print again!

In closing may I again emphasizethat no mordant fear of politicsand no amount of saying it isn' tthere is' going to stop political ac-tivity on the campus. Furthermore ,political activity, no matter howdistasteful some of its manifesta-tions have been, is the very blooaand breath of our democracy . Let' shave lots of it, let us encourage itsgrowth and above all let us makesuch activity a provocation t oourselves to think, and think clear-

ly, about who shall lead us and in

what way, in facing the enormous

issues of these times .

Yours truly ,

WHAT JS YOUR OPINION ? No. 3 : Political ClubEDITOR'S NOTE : This is the

organize on the campus. The opinions expressed are those ofBy GREG RIC E

THE MOST RIDICULOUS task a returned Canadiancould find is pleading for freedom of political action . Yetthere appears to be some doubt of the existence of th eAtlantic Charter in the eyes of the Alma Mater Society, sothis article is indeed necessary. Let us look at the matterwithâut derision (if possible) and come to a reasonableconclusion .

We sometimes think of a uni-versity only as an institutionwhich provides us with an edu-cation leading to future job. Onthe whole, most of us are face dwith the necessity of earning aliving, and we readily recognizethe importance of a specialize deducation in determining our fu-ture life work .

But do we consider the univer-sity as being more than a glorifiededucation factory which is massproducing people with the techni-cal equipment necessary to un-dertake specialized jobs? And d owe consider an education as beingmore than the things we learn inlectures and labs ?

WE ARE CITIZENSStudents at UBC hold responsi-

bilities of Canadian citizenship .Being students does not exemp tthem from these responsibilities.

This may sound strange, bute one of a student' s special respon-

sibilities is that of becoming edu-cated . By being educated, I mean

TH E

Th common excuses for fetter-ing political activity on the cam-pus have been cause for hilarity;both in the press and the recen tdebate . Nevertheless, they havebeen presented to the public aslogical contentions and must betreated as such. As listing them i norder of merit would require theassistance of a psyohopathic spe-cialist — let us number them.

1 . Political clubs would detractfrom studies.

2„ Wealthy students might spendlarge campaign sums.

3. Party organizers might com eto the campus as students.

4. Politics taint campus life .5. We are in search of truth and

knowledge and must read ou rtextbooks in an impartial light .

BOOKWORMSThese arguments themselve s

give evidence of their origin. Be-yond doubt the people behin dthem are from the world of booksand do not feel ready to graduateinto the world of reality. On theother hand those of us who havespent the war years on the cam -pus of life are not prepared tobury our heads in the sands ofobscurantism .

If we have time for popularitycontests we have time for poll -tics. If wealthy students canspend large sums we can spendcommon sense. Party membersand leaders of all parties are herein the form of both professors andstudents . This was openly admit-ted by members of every partyin Wednesday's debate . Why thenprohibit a right that is guaranteedto them by the constitution of ourcountry ?'Coming to the impartial stud y

question, Thinking is a craft . Ourlogical reasoning cannot possibl ybe influenced by political idea sunless they are nearer to truththan we are. If we deny this weare condemning our own abilityas students.LOOKS TO ENGLAND

May we further remind youthat in your capacity of holdin ga jealously-guarded monopoly fo rpublishing news on this campus ,it is about time you began givin gfair treatment to all groups inproportion to their numbers, in-stead of consistently carrying theviews of a minority.

in "tainting" their undergraduateswith political ides., —Oxford, Cam-bridge and Harvard—not to 'men -tion our own colleges in Saskatoonand Montreal . As we ponder theproblems of Canada and the worldwe would do well to rememberthe great statesmen that mustcome from our universities .

Experience Is the best professorwe have on the campus. If weare not allowed to tackle our ownproblems and overcome them w eshall be left out of contact withour most vital national problems.Housing conditions and unemploy-ment will become statistics to us.Instead of organizing to battlethese problems we will becomedreamers theorizing on them.While children are going hungr ywe will be debating on the effectsof social consciousness on unem-ployment. While new wars areincubating we will be ruminatingon "attitudes ."

Going back to the controversy ofpolitical clubs. Do the makers o fuiversity regulations dare to tellany returned man that he has notcomplete political freedom on thecampus? A year ago in Italy andEurope we hardly hoped to getback here to enjoy our 'freedoms .Now we are back only to be in-

sulted with the puerile antics ofcertain college elements.INTERESTS VETS

There is not room enough hereto detail fields of po .itical interestsfor the veteran . He has had somany utopian plans offered himin the war years that broken prom-ises seem to lie about like dere-lict vehicles after battle . Yet nowthere are those among us wh owould even deny him the right totake to task the people respon-sible.

This university fs made up of alarge proportion of student vet-erans. Let us not forget they aremature. They are adults . To betreated like school children willnot help their adjustment to nor -mal life . Will the Board of Gover-nors consider this in the future?

If graduates from UBC are totake their places in society asleaders, they must be educated—and political education should b ea part of their education .BUT KNOW LITTLE

Most students attending UBCknow little about politics . Thereare a number of reasons for this—the most important being the fac tthat students do not, as a rule ,have enough free time to join apolitical party, take an active par tin it and understand its basis ,policies, and program .

If political clubs were organizedon the campus, students would beable to attend political discussionsand meetings much more easily .

would, I feel, be more likely tointerest students in politics thanwould the approach of politicalgroups off the campus.

At present, eaaadian universitystudents do not play a leadin gpart in the political life of thecountry because their education inthis area has been sadly neglected .

The European universities havealways been not only centres o flearning but also centres of anysocial movements and reformsthat' have taken place. This shouldapply to UBC . Does it ?

In conclusion, I would repeat,that if the University of British

BC Artist

Shows Work

A COLLECTION of watercolo rpaintings by the noted BritishColumbia artist J . L . Shadbolt, isbeing shown this week in the Mil-dred Brock Room of the BrockMemorial Building .

The exhibition is under thesponsorship of the University Ex -tension Department . The collectionincludes three groups of painting sentitled "Bombed Buidings,""Cornish Fishing Villages" and"The Canadian Scene."

Mr. Shadbolt who is at presentinstructing in the Vancouver Schoo lof Art, has recently returned fromoverseas where he served as Ad-ministration officer for Officia lCanadian War Artists .

A native of Victors, he hasstudied in New York, London andParis and is widely known for hispaintings on the many phases ofBritish Columbia life.

This artist was the winner o fthe prize for water color paintingsin a recent "BC at Work" exhibi-tion and Is also responsible forthe excellent murals adorning thelocal United Service Centre .

Another advantage is that thesepolitical clubs would have a dis-tinctly student approach whichColumbia is to take its rightfu lplace in the total life of the prov-ince, then political clubs must notbe excluded from the campus.

By D. S. GRAY

I AM convinced that political clubs are a necessary partof University life and should be formed here at UBC . Myreasons for taking this position are as follows :

First, I think that as University students, we shouldrecognize ,the fact that a University is not an institution se tapart from society. It should be an integral part of anycountry's life and should be one of the leading groups i nsociety.

COTTON is not grown in Canada—our climat eis too cold. Very little Nickel is mined in the

0 00e~a United States — most deposits so far dis •covered there cannot be mined at a profit .So Canada imports American cotton . TheUnited States imports Canadian Nickel . Eachproduct helps to pay for the other.

Canada produces 90 per cent of the world' sNickel, but uses less than three per cent .So we must continue to export Canadia nNickel if we are to continue to employ

e

r?s al*/ te retractile

thousands of Canadians in the Nickel mines ,

smelters and refineries, and other thousand s

who produce the lumber, power, steel ,

explosives, machinery and supplies used by

the Canadian Nickel industry.

Canada cannot keep on importing from

other lands unless she exports Canadian

goods. By constantly seeking to expand

the uses of Nickel at home and abroad,

the Canadian Nickel Industry bring s

additional benefits to Canada.

THUNDERBIRDS TRAVE LSOUTH TO PLAY PILOTS

UBC 's THUNDERBIRD BASKETEERS take to the air tomorrow as they wing southwar dto Portland to take on the Portland University Pilots in a two-game series in the Rose Cityon Friday and Saturday nights .

VARSITY ' S pucksters camethrough with another one of theirnot too uncommon, sweeping vic-tories over the week-end by de-feating Pacific Veneer 14-0.

After a hectic first two minuteswhen one of the Pacific Veneerforwards tried to clip Owen Wood-aide with a well swung stick, Var-sity settled into the play and withinfour minutes had netted their firstcounter by Hug Berry .

This was followed by goals b yBill Buhler and Jim O'Brien, an dthen to finish the first period HughBerry came back out to score twowell-earned goals, giving him atotal of three goals and givingVarsity a lead of 5-0.

FIVE MORE GOALS

SLATED SATURDAYThroughout the balance of th e

game it was just a question of howmany goals Varsity would score .The second period appeared veryone-sided with Varsity carryingthe play to the opponents for prac-tically the whole of the perio dresulting in five more goals whil eblanking the Pacific Veneers . BillBuhler countered a pair, andO'Brien, Nelford, and Porteousgathered one each .

The third period started off ina similar vein and even thoughPacific Veneer managed to rallyup a much stronger defence, Var-sity seemed to run into very littl etrouble in going ahead and getting .four goals by Keating, Buhler an dHusband (2) .
