Due Tuesday

Members of the USC have ap-proved the idea of having Art'selections on Tuesday, November

.88, in Arts 100, since the abeenceof Art' s representatives on USC hashampered the committee's oper-ations.

The Art's executive at the pre -sent time is almost non-oxidant,since two of its members have re -

signed.to the work of USC.

that since Arts is the largest fa-culty on the campus It is Impor-tant that it be fully represented onsuch an important body as USC .

Council Builds

Ticket Office

Both aides of the Quad noticeboard will be replaced by ticketoffices if AMS plans materialize .

Tentative plans would enlarge

the present structure by buildingticket offices the full length ofeither side . Notice boards couldthen be placed on the outsidewalls between the wickets,

Tickets of all kinds would be onsale here. It I. expected that thelost and found departments wouldalso be located In the Quad, thusallievating the congestion in theAMS office.

Mr. John D. Lee, building sup-erintendent will be approachedfor an estimate of the cost of theproposed building. Applicationwill then be made to the adminis-tration to cover the expense in-curred by the project, Allis pres-ident Ted Kirkpatrick announcedWednesday. Kirkpatrick pointedout that the application may be

declined due to the eomprehen-dve construction program alread y

in progress . In this event the AMwill bear the expense, he added.

ITS DUE IN JANUARYThe conclusion of the current phase of

the War Memorial Gymnasium drive wil lsurely be cause for relief, not only for th estudents but also for the general public .

The people who have been carrying o nthe campaign need a rest from their efforts ,and the others require a respite from th ecarryings on.

For month after month, "Gym Drive" ha sbeen dinned into the organs of sense up t othe point wbere they have lost their sensi-bility .

Now, the members of the Alma MaterSociety must pause and see what has beenthe result of all this effort . For one thing,R is quite apparent that the venture hasfallen far short of its financial mark. Foranother, it is quite obvious that the drive asconstituted does not meet with the approvalof every student, or of even the great ma-jority of students .

While the last receipts are being counted

and the last bills paid, it will remain for thepeople who are directing the campaign t oponder over the situation . One very health ysign has come from their direction in th epast week—the willingness to bring out int othe open for the first time some of thebasic reasons for student apathy towardsthe drive. Now that those powers-that-beare willing to face reality, instead of beatingtheir chests and imploring all to fall in step,something may be salvaged from the appar-ent wreckage.

Also to be commended is the determinationto ensure that the Memorial aspect of th ecampaign is not neglected, with the parallelintention of squashing any interests whic hwould turn the effort into a mere excuse t obuild a larger gymnasium at any cost .

Meanwhile, the general student body cansave a'lot of time and bother by being con -tent to wait for the final reports to be madeto them in January.

TO BAR CITY'S WATER

Those fortunate enough to hear the CB CStage 47 play Sunday evening last mustostrainly have been impressed with the time-liness of Henrik Ibsen's "An Enemy of th ePeople" It bears a remerkable parallel to thecontroversy over chlorination, which last .

summer occupied the attention of press andpulpit. The weight of competent medica ladvice was countered by "public opinion " ,and chlorination of Vancouver's water sup-ply, forced through as a war measure, wa sabandoned.

Whatever the indignant citizens who lik e"pure" water think, the U .S. Public HealthService feels that eta' water is really "unfi tfor human consumption ." To make the view -point one of apparent authority, the deput yminister of health at Ottawa, G . W. Camer-on, also believes that Vancouver water i s"almost continually contaminated . "

THE IMPORTED EXPERTSDespite the favourable judgment passed

on Vancouver 's water supply by the import-ed experts last summer, suxicient doubt nowseems to exist to warrant re-opening th ecase. Should this occur, it will be interestingto watch the outcome of the struggle be-tween public and expert opinion . The scoreat present is 1-to-O in favor of the public .

Letters To The EditorLUXURY DRIVE

Dear Sir:

In a recent editorial in theUbyesey the statement was made:"The time has come for UBC'sstudents to face the truth aboutthe War Memorial GymnasiumDrive." I agree . But let's not de-ceive ourselves about the issue.Why shouud a public institutionbe built from the proceeds ofraffles, rummage sales and beautycontests? If the gymnasium isurgently needed at this time, itshould he bu i lt from public fund sand not from charity . If the gym-nasium is not urgently needed ,then it should not be built at all .Where did the idea for this schem eoriginate? A ballot vote of studentopinion was never taken . Why not?

There are better ways of honour-ing the dead than by the erectionof a bu'lding which will benefi tless than one per cent of the pro-vince's population. Spending half amillion dollars on the luxury of a

gymnasium is a vulgarity at thistime when veterans families ar eforced to live in attics, cellars, andchicken coop&

POISE AND BEAUTY

Dear Sir :

I am wondering if the fact wasmade clear to the other universi-ties, that poise and personalitycount higher than actual beaut yin last week's contest. MarionAlbert had them all beaten o npoise and personality, but I got theimpression that all the other cam-puses sent out their best womenwith an eye on facial beauty an dfigure, which in my opinion wereSUIETior to the chcsea queen . Infuture to avoid any misinterpre-tat i on of beauty standards, a list ofthe percentages allotted for eachpoint of so called beauty shouldbe forwarded to each competin guniversity before they choose theircontestants, and thus clear up the

shadow of doubt which exists in

many minds other than my own.

I am terribly sorry that Mr. Galt

had to make such an ignoble dls-

rlay of his ignorance in last week'sUbyssey . This batttle of the beau -

ties has been up to now, kept on

a high cultural level, with all

parties displaying good sportsman -ship. Mr. Galt probably thought

that he was kicking the seven

Regina lads while they were down .He is sadly in error, for despitethe U. of S. refusal to enter thecontest, the boys procured an entr yfrom Regina College and not onlythat, they have devoted their ownprecious time and even money tomake this contest the success i twas. Would that there could be afew more aggressive people to in-stigate such publicized endeavour ,instead of such critical, satirica land stagment individuals as Mr .Galt .

The Passing

Not so very long ago, the Keeperof the Wassail Bowl renounced al lseasons but Autumn. It is now witha cons i derable feeling of joy tha t

,the Wagon takes off its wheels,exchanges them for runners, an dbecomes a sled.

Sunday last the Wagon's driverwas informed that Vancouver washaving snow. Due to a weeken dtrip, the Wagon knew nothingabout it. Sunday night on its re-turn, the Wagon found that itswheels were the only logical means .of motion .

Monday morning, however, an dmuch to its chagrin, the Wagonfound that its wheels were a ratherridiculous appendage . Leaving theWagcn behind, then, this particularTote climbed into a car and cameto the campus by way of MarineDrive and Spanish Banks .

Yuletide And

The coming of the snow, not bymy means an annual event in Van-couver, symbolizes the coming o fwinter; the coming of winter;brings to natives of the Inter :orand the East a warming memory ofthe days gone by when they coul ddon the ir skates on the river'sbank, and skate practically withoutlimit in any direction that happen-ed to fit their fancy .

The coming of winter also bringsthought of the Holiday Season.

To college students, snow meanswinter and winter means Christ-mas, but alas , Christmas also means

earns. Norm, my rather effusiveent of the Autumn, you coul d

Ave scored a point for your fadedsection of the year if you had justthought a b't about your subject—

Of A Year

Even Mr. Klenman's exuberant

description of the beauties of

Spring failed to make an impres-

sicn, What, Mr . Norman Q. Wassail

Bowl, can compare with the beau -

enervating strife .My first introduction to Harry

Adaskin was when I listened to

the in-between speaker for th eCBC exchange on the Sunday NewYork Philharmonic program, They

sere the first lectures on music I

ever understood .

SELF-MADE MANThis self-made man learned hi s

background on the men whos ework he plays the hard but pro-

fitable way . While other men in

the orchestra which he conductedfor a stock company whiled away

the time between intermission s

with a poker game, Harry Adas-kin sweated out the French lan-guage, by h i mself . For two years

he didn't read a word of English .Thus, when he came to study inParis, he was able to understandhis masters, Challey, Thibaud an dEnesco, under whom he studied .

A lecture by Adask in is a

promhle to anticipate with eag-

erness. It Is a pleasure to atten dand a lesson for meditation. Hi sintvoduetlon often goes Uke

:h iss"We've been going through Hell

this morning—we've been prac-tising Mozart "

Then he goes on to explain tha tMozart may be played accordin gto the notes written on the page ,but that the player is really at!suit if the music just sounds

pretty.VIVACIOUS WiFE

His vivacious and charming dark-haired wife, who is known profes-sionally as pianist Frances Mara ,accompanies her violinist husban dwith the line undertsanding, tonaland harmonic perception whichonly a fine artist can exe^ute .

In speaking of his marriage toFrances Mare, Mr. Adaskin con-fides openly:

We met on a professional en-gagement"

Ills usual accompanist was un-able to show up for a concertat which he was playing . Thesubstitute accompanist playedthe music so well by sight tha the thought It would be a goodidea to make It permanent .Mr . Adaskin's whole life has been

devoted to music . But under th eheading of music, he Includes athorough knowledge of the entireculture and li!e of the times inwhich his composer hued an dwrote . Thus, he has the capacity tospeak, with first-hand knowledge ,on the men who made the lifeand the manners of a composer' stime. It is this capacity of studen tin his art which makes HarryAdaskin so proficient as a teacher.STUDIES HISTORY

I As he poured the last of hi safternoon cup of tea, he explained

his study ol history. If a man isto understand the Impulse, eutdatmosphere which go Into thecreation of a great work of art ,then he must study the historycal the times. If a man understandsthese things, he is better able toperform a piece of music in some-thing of its spirit of composition.

"A musician," he said, "whocan only play the music Is onlyhalf a musician."

He then added that althoughthe occasional genius m igh tbr i dge t'•e gap, the ord i naryman could never hope to do so .He firmly established an inter -

national reputation for himself a ssecond violinist with the HartHouse String quartet, a fifteenyear partnership. This group be-gan in 1923 with Adaskin; de Kresz,Blackstone and Hambourg, an dplayed string quartets "for fun'' '.A year later the group was finan-cially supported by the Vincen tMasseys and the Massey Founda-tionLVERSATILE VIOLINIST

Weekly reports from ISS rep-resentatives in all parts of Europeemphasize the urgent need for re-lief for students in all Europeancountries,

Gerard Pelletier, ISS secretaryfrom Italy reports, "In the Uni-versities of Rome and Naples al -most two-thirds of the studentscome from neighboring proviaceb .40,000 students must find someshelter in those already over-crowded towns.

From Howard Reed in Athens,Greece comes the report, "Athensis swarming with a populatio ndouble its 1939 size . Students findtheir acccmodation in railroadstations or on the counter of astore. At present the canteen ofthe University Club feeds 3,000 . "

Edmond Ferenczi in Budapeststates that "The university situ-otion in Hungary is the most ser-ious In Eastern Europe . More than15,000 university students are lit-tle better than beggars, possessini ,only one suit or dress, The Uni-versity may shut down this wintetfrom lack of fuel and lectures eooften cancelled on rainy days be-cause of the great rents in theroofs.

GYM SCORE CLOCK 'ALMOST HUMAN 'By HAL TENNANT

A new score clock that is almost human is the newest addition to the UBC gymnasium .For tommorow night, at the Thunderbird's fi rst home conference affair, the clock, installe don Tuesday, will officially become the time and score recorder in the Varsity gym.

Arrangements are under way foran unveiling ceremony by To mScott, president of the 1946 grad-uates, whose class purchased th erobot scorekeeper as a graduat'o ngift—such gifts having become al -most traditional in the past fewyears.

Varsity ' s broadcasting booth i nthe stadium an dthe stadium pub-lic address system are both giftsfrom other graduating classes .

The new score clock has all thefeatures of the Little Giant potatopeeler ("Even a child can operateitl") and then some. The face ofthe time-keeper portion of the ap-paratus 4s some two feet in dieme-rer, and Is straddled by two blocksof lights which are capable ofgetting all lit up at a second'snotice to indicate the score held byeach team.

TURNS SCARLETBelow the face of the time ap-

paratus is a quartette of tiny redlights which indicate the periodIn progress at the given moment .One interesting feature of the newdevice is that the entire face ofthe clock turns a brilliant scarletduring the last minute of play ineach quarter. However this doesnot necessarily indicate that thehome team is taking a beating—theclock isn't endowed with the partia lviewpoint of most fans.

Operation of the scoreboard isentirely electric. A set of button sat the scorekeper's table is anconstructed to keep the fan in-formed of what is happening i nterms of melons and minutes—almost before it happens , Soun deffects are included in the formof a horn wh ich announces timesout and ends of periods,

The entire mechanism—a post -war product of Medart in St . Loui s—arrived last Spring, but instal -lation was postponed unt•1 an ap-prcpriate time such as Friday's firs thome event for the number on eBlue and Gold _casaba artists.
