City Manager Pla nUnnecessary I nVancouver

Speakers Club WineDebate with U.B.C.Forum

The feasibility of a City Manage rfor Vancouver was the issue inTuesday's debate between the For-urn team and the Vancouver Speak-ers ' Club .

Judges' decision went to the Van-couver Speakers Club who upheldthe negative aide of the resolutionthat the City Manager plan of civi c

administration should be adopted inVancouver. "

University speakers were RobertBonner and Arthur ranks. BurtMorrow and Peter Houston repro-seated the visiting team.Robert Bonner lead the affirma-

tive with a scathing attack on th epresent civic administration. Hecharged that the heavy tax increase,the decline in public service, an dgeneral incompetency at the CityHall was a result of "ignorant ad -ministration . "

The only solution would be a CityManager type of government similarto a corporation with a head execu-tive and a board of directors .NO CORRUPTION

Burt Morrow, leader of the nega-tive, blamed the city's deplorablefinancial condition on its heavybuilding program, relief costs an dschools . "There is no corruption i nthis city," he declared .

He maintained that a city mana-ger would be a dictator and that th eVancouver people showed their dis-approval by their plebiscite agains tthe City Manager plan .

The City Council came in for atongue-lashing when Arthur Fouks ,second affirmative speaker, in acounter attack accused the alderme nof general incompetence "squarepegs in round holes . Just a debatingclub with the mayor and council a neternal see-saw . "

The city engineer, comptroller, an dsolicitor also came under his cen-sure .

Peter Houston, negative speaker ,denied the city was deteriorating ."Vancouver," he said, "has risenfrom comparative obscurity to thir dcity in Canada . In its fifty-two yearsof existence it has come to rank

STUDENTS VS.CRIMINALS?

"Is Psychology Common Sense?"

was the title of the lecture given by

Dr. J . E. Morsh when he spoke at a n

open meeting of the Psychology Club

in Agriculture 100 Thursday noon .

Dr. Morsh took the stand that psy-chology consisted of a great deal

more than common sense and gav einstances of how amateur students

of human nature, who depende d

simply upon common sense, fre-quently got into difficulties .

LEAP YEAR ?For an example, he said that a

man might turn down an offer o fmarriage from a beautiful red-head-ed girl simply because he had heard

that red-headed women are spit-fires .

Psychologists have proved tha tblonds and brunettes are just as like-ly to have nasty tempers as red-heads .

Another piece of common sens eknowledge is that criminals hav ecertain distinguishing features . Psy-chological research has shown tha tthere is an equal percentage of per-sons of cr iminal appearance at Dart-moor Prison and Oxford University .

The next guest speaker will b eWarden Cooper of the Saskatche-wan Penitentiary .

However, if this drastic legislationIs repealed with the coming of peace ,democracy in Canada might be pro-served, he continued.

Our FirstPresident

He made more contributions tothe university than any other man ,but his most precious gift was th eexample of his own heroic struggl efor his ideals against overwhelmingodds ." These words uttered by Prof .Larsen epitomize the spirit of Dr .Wesbrook .

Frank Fairchild Wesbrook wasone of the founders of the university ,and its first president . In 1918 he re -signed his position as Dean of theCollege of Medicine and Surgery atthe University of Minnesota to tak eup a government appointment t oestablish a university in the farwestern province of British Colum-bia .

Provided with a virtual promiseby the B.C. Government that th eUniversity of B.C. was to be equalto any in Canada, Dr. Wesbrookmade his plans. A site was chosen ,In the wilderness of Point Grey,which the founder alone recognisedfor its value . A Science building wasstarted in 1914 and temporary quar-ters taken in Fairview—"The Fair-view Shacks ."

A nucleus for the University Lib-rary was personally installed by Dr.Wesbrook in the shacks, part of thi sbeing invaluable books purchased byhim in England .

DISAPPOINTMEN TConstruction of the Science Build-

ing was suddenly brought to a stand -still by the intensity of war effort .However, Dr. Wesbrook maintainedhis ideal through this and other dis-heartening setbacks. H. carried onthroughout the war, despite the lackof adequate financial support orteaching staff.

Although Dr. Wesbrook died be-fore the armistice on Oct . 20, 1918 ,his idealism and devotion to a singlecause inspired others to carry outhis plans. The University was fin -ally moved to its own campus i nPoint Grey in 1926.

His memorial is not a gravestone, or a stone seat in front etthe Library, but an entire univer-sity, a university developing out ofhis plans, dreams and spirit .

EditorialsIN MEMORIAM

Today commemorates the life of one of the men who laid th efoundations of the University of British Columbia, President F. F.Wesbrook. On keeping with one of the few traditions of thi syouthful institution, the Senior class will take part in a service ,which will be held by the Wesbrook Seat in front of the Library .

More important than the memory of the actual accomplish-ments of Dr. Wesbrook is the undying picture of Dr . Wesbrook ,the man. Few pioneers have faced disappointments, obstacles, an dhonest labour with the enthusiasm and aggressive energy tha tcharacterized Dr . Wesbrook.

He came to the province of British Columbia on the under -standing that the future University of 13 . C. was to be the mostcomplete educational institution Canada had known. The tragicstory of the early years of the University is well known now. Thebirth of the academic child turned out to be unfortunately prema-ture, and the babe was placed in the famous "Fairview incubator "there to grow in strength until its ultimate removal to Point Grey .

The disappointments of watching his cherished plans fall t oruin, of receiving instructions at regular intervals from the B . C .Government to reduce expenditures, and of fighting incessantl y

tv the very life of the University during the years of the Grea tr, accentuated the greatness of Dr. Weabrook's nature .His greatest ideal was "to carry on", in spite of the persona l

sacrifices involved . His generosity, resolute strength of will, devo-tion to duty, and love of humanity drove him forward through th ehardest years of this University's career .

His students learned to respect him, and to love him . His gen-uine and profound interest in all the people round him won fo rhim that precious thing in life, true friendship .

And Mill today, we students show our appreciation and ou rfriendship for a mull we never met, but a man we cannot forget .His eagerness to fight for his cause has inspired his successors i ntheir efforts to assure a noble future for our University.

The spirit of this man must live on in the hearts of us studentswho are reaping the harvest of benefits from the seed which fel lso abundantly from his hand .

INTRA-MURALSMuch has been written in vain efforts to rouse the students o f

the Campus from a state of apparently permanent lethargy an dindolence. Once again a plea goes forth for at least mild interestin the extensive intra-mural program which has been prepare dby the energetic Maury Van Vliet .

It is possible that the total absence of support, which ha scharacterized the intra-mural events until now, has been the resul tof inactivity of last year's class athletic representatives, or of ageneral ignorance about antra-murals .

By now, however, a new group of athletic representatives ha sbeen elected, and perhaps, too, a few students will have becom eaware of the existence of inter-class competitions .

The suggested fields for class rivalry are much the same a slast year. Volleyball, basketball, track events, cross country races ,rope climbing and English rugby are all included in the list o factivities . But at the moment only four teams have appeared t ocompete for the volleyball crown, whereas there are twelve poten-tial teams on the Campus. This, then, is the student answer toMaury is effort s

Last year, the support was excellent . Students who ordinaril yhad no opportunity to display their mediocre athletic abilities ha dchance upon chance to become the heroes of their class, or to gai na little additional knowledge about the sport involved .

The intra-mural program was created for the benefit of stud-ents. It is no hardship to those running the scheme if studen tsupport fails. Intra-mural activity will be curtailed or terminated .

ELECTION MISTAKESClass elections are over. •It would be interesting to know th e

number of students who are aware that elections had even beenheld. The quorum for a class is apparently that number presentat the meeting. It could not be otherwise when actual experienc eis considered, for there is little doubt that a ten per cent attend-ance at any one class election meeting was a commendable average !

The new executives of the various classes face a term of offic ewhich entails no tangible form of assistance from their invisibl eelectorate, and less credit or thanks for their labours throughou tthe year. It is to be hoped that this glowing future will not dete rthem from performing their respective duties .

One stupid mistake marred the otherwise drab elections. Th ePresident of the Commerce class was announced elected, was laterfound to be "not elected," and eventually the "powers that be "summoned sufficient Wright to declare the election of the CommerceClass null and void .

The error' made was of a complicated type . Failure to disting-uish between at man named Smith, and a mat named Smith causedunutterable confusion . The Messrs. Smith must feel a trifle embar-rassed over the whole affair, although they are but indirectly con-nected with it .

New elections ar e too likely to leave ruffled feelings behindthen: to be recommended very frequently, but under the presen tcircumstances, there is nothing else to be done .

The seriousness had come withou twarning. I had laughed at her fierc esolemnity, "Then you shall be burieddown in the five-acre, where thespuds grow highest, and you canhave potato flowers to wreath you . "

the clouds and yet, like the moo nagainst the trees they made littlelike the boisterous wind sweeping upfrom the lake valley . I was as happyas the wind-blown grain in the field sprogress . My spirit ran wild in mewhen the head Is young and green ,when the seed has just begun toform. I laughed aloud to think howthe party linen would be a twitterwith the chatter and head-waggle ofold maids who had somehow learnedthat seven months was too short atime to plow a field and bring it tocrop. Then I started to run forsheer delight in my power to run. Iwas like the bull that bellows itsvictory across the countryside atnight .

These fields had my grandfatheredaquered with oxen, these fertileacne. he had wrenched living an dfruitful from the womb of wildernewt To these he had brought•his wife to slag and be lovely fora few years, to bear and raiseohildeen and die. Here, crying In

the eerily morning, had my fathe rby the woos of his mother'sstrength' and the country doctor.and in his time my father worked

a great yellow and black swallow-tail . I stood dismayed for a mom-ent to see her turn into the ripeninggrain. Then I was running myselfafter the figure waist deep in theyellowing stalks . The butterfly wentdancing irregularly across the fieldsthat blenched for the harvest. Acock crowed back at the farmhouse .

Where she came from the daw ndid not break to the crowing o fthe cock . She was of the world thathears the wail of trains by night,the long drawn out note of misery,that goes singing of far-pinees ,broken. She knew the call thatgoes before to draw the long lineof cars after It through the gapsof the hills. But, tike the bugle,this call, too, I. false, can lead tonothing, saving more cities, cannever lead a man to a place wheresounds of darkening bind hi mcloser to the fruitfulness of hisacres .She told me one night and her lips

parted in surprise when I laughe dat her dismay. "You'll have to marryme now," I said . "You'll not beteaching school for another yea rnow, nor any of those foolish thingsyou said you would." Then I hadgone out and was immediately drun kwith the night about me. Mythoughts raced like the moon through

student revolts, and attending a Pan -American students' conference whichdidn't go into session, Mervyn Davis ,Commerce student, returned to ourpeaceful campus on Monday .

A. a representative of the U.B.C .Social Problems Club, Mervyn setout for Havana, Cuba, on July 12 .The conference was to take plac eduring the week of August 26."Cuban students have always been

the leaders of revolutions and underthe rule of Col. Batista, who wassomething of a tyrant during theearly years of his term of office, manystudent leaders were murdered andtortured," stated Mervyn, "but Batistahas become quite democratic sincethen. The students, however, canno tforget the death of their :Mende andwant to lead a move against the dic-tator .STUDENT OPINION SPLI T

"Student opinion Is split In this de-sire for vengeance, and since theycould come to no agreement regard-ing their local actions, the conferencewhich was to further a 'good neigh -bor' policy among students, was can-celled. "

Mervyn made the trip as pureron a freighter to Kingston, Jamaica–.dew to Santlago--and completedhis journey to Havana by bus. Hearrived at his destination on Aug-ust 11 .He was in Cuba when war was

proclaimed but could not find outwhat was happening in Canada . "Al -though I understood the odd word inSpanish, I didn't know enough to beable to read the newspapers," hecommented, "so I had to go to theCanadian and British consuls thereto find out the news . "AMERICAN ATTITUDE

He was in Washington at the tim eof President Roosevelt's neutralityaddress. Davis expressed the opinionthat the Americans were more visiblyexcited about the war, whereas ourown people are quiet, reserved anddignified, taking the pursuance ofwar in a common sense orderlyfashion .

"In the eastern American statesthe students are in complete agree-ment that they should keep but ofthe war although the majority ofthem are in sympathy with theAllies."Quite by chance," he continued ,

"I attended a meeting of young peo-ple in New York and I was astonishedand horrified . They were anti-Semiticand said they couldn't wait untilthey saw the time when the streetsof New York should run red with theblood of the Jews . This same groupwas definitely pro-Hitler and theyeven gave the Nazi salute. In facttheir unbelievable stupidity amazedme."

Prof. Irving OnRace Problems

"What are the results of racialinter-marriage? How may the alie nadjust himself to a new environ-ment? Why is the assimilation of aracial minority difficult?" Thes equestions and others, pertaining tothe national friction in both Europ eand B.C. enlivened the first meetingof the Cosmopolitan Club Sunday.

"In order to study these questions,we must realize the impact ofnational institutions on the publi ccharacter," stated Professor J. A.Irving, citing instances from his con-tacts with the Coast Indians . Mr.Irving, guest speaker, explained th emaladjustment so common with aforeign people when they try to con-form to a different code of living.

The club'. first meeting, attende dby representatives of eight nations ,gives every promise of another suc-cessful year. Students interested i na better international understandingare invited to attend the monthl ydiscussions.

By PIERRE BERTONEver since the day that he or sh e

embarked upon college life as theGreenest of the Green, every under -graduate has heard of and becom eacquainted with a mysterious some-thing known as College Spirit . Every-body I . exposed to it, everyone talksabout it, no newspaper article i scomplete without some mention ofit. And sooner or later we And Jo eCollege asking, in his innocence :"Just what is College Spirit? "

Therefore, in order to dispel thispitiable lack of knowledge, this re-porter has been asked to attempt anexplanation .

In the first place, despite popularbelief, College Spirit does not comein bottles. Dispel this wickedthought from your minds. In thesecond place there Is no course inCollege Spirit in the Motu .* rooms .No professor could teach it . In thethird place, it can't be bought in theCaf. The only way to get it is t oacquire It . It doesn't creep up frombehind and nab one suddenly ; itmerely grows on one. Like SantaClaus, it can't be seen but is influ-ence is noted everywhere.

It is the spirit that impels red-mastered Scienoemen to chant thei rlusty incantations upon the slight-est excuse ; it is the urge thatprompts usually sober scholars todash madly across the football Ael dand rip the goalposts from theground; it is the force that moti-vates frail little co-eds to sell apple son street corners for the good of the

Cause . It is the power behind stu-dent publications, pep meetings, andevery type of voluntary college acti-vity.

In short, College Spirit is an activeenthusiasm on the part of Joe andJosephine College in all thing. Col-legiate; a spontaneous exuberanceIn university affairs ; an ardent de-sire to be a living part of a greatInstitution .

College Spirit was the drivingforce that impelled a band of U.B .C .students in 1928 to march in pro-test from the old Fairview shacksto the spot where the Cairn nowstands . College Spirit built the Sta-dium, and 1s erecting the UnionBuilding. And College Spirit moti-vated the great Student CampaignIn 1987.

Every student executive body,every university society, every col-lege organisation runs on CollegeSpirit. It's that certain Indispensablesomething that makes or breaks acampus club.

Vague and intangible though itmay be, College Spirit is the lifeblood of every great university. Withit, a university lives, moves, an dbreathes ; without it, it can only b ea lifeless institute, useful merely asa medium for turning out studentsprepared, perhaps, for technical pos-itions , . . but not for life.

And so, having absorbed the above,you will be able to truthfully answerYes or No next time some pryingIndividual pointedly asks: "HaveYOU got College Spirit? "

Basketball interests on the Campus!already high for the coming season ,were aroused to fever pitch when i twas learned that George Pringle,brilliant guard of former seasons, ha dregistered at the University for post -grad work .
