Their discussion of plans for re-modelling the office along

AMS TreasurerBob Harwood.
Livingstone refused Joker demandsfor space, stating that he must

Harwood attempted to quell theJoker demands by asking for
"con-crete" suggestions as to how theAMS Council is expected to

of 3000, she said.
Students who are willing to giveone pint of blood to the Red

Ticket Sale For SaturdayTrip Off To Good Start
The first problem UBC physics students had to solve whenthey
moved into their still-unfinished building this week was:"Why can't
we hear the carpenters banging out in the hall?", And the answer
was to be found
in their own textbooks, for the class-rooms of UBC's
ultra-modern newhome of science are fully padded
withsoundproofing.

THE DAILY UBYSSEY
Thursday, October 9, 1947
The tempest-in-a-teapot concerning cafprivileges hit a new high
Monday night whenGrant Livingstone pronounced a ruling ofthe chair
denying representatives of the DailyUbyssey from reporting council
discussionof the problem
Livingstone's ruling brought a storm ofprotest from the
editorial board of the news-paper.
His reasons are obvious. He did not wanta re-occurance of the
difficulties he exper-ienced last week when the Ubyssey carried
afactual report on the original council action:not to council's
approval.
Although the Ubyssey does not wish totake any editorial stand on
the question ofeaf tables, it does most certainly wish to keepthe
student body informed on the dispositionof council on this, and on
all other matters.
We cannot, however, fulfill this functi; n—the very foundation
of the constitution ofthe Ubyssey—if its reporters are to be
barredfrom covering the meetings of the campuslegislators.
Actually, the Ubyssey represents youronly check on council. If
the Ubyssey is bar-red, council is left free to do as it
wishes.This, in the name of the students, but withoutthe knowledge
of the students,
THE MAD TEA PARTY
"I give up," said Alice, "what DOES hap-pen to the other
$30,000?"
Alice looked down the long table towhere a bulky form, in a red
sweater wasdipping a slide rule into his cup of tea.
"That's just what I said," the scarlet formretorted, "what DOES
happen to the other$30,000?"
Alice was just going to say 'I don't knoweither' when the
Scienceman stopped stirringhis tea and began to work the slide rule
backand forth with a speed that astonished Aliceconsiderably.
"Don't interrupt!" the scarlet man bark-ed. Alice hadn't said a
word.
"But I didn't say a thing," Alice pro-tested.
"Copy cat," he jeered. "You were talkingbut you didn't say a
thing. Trying to copy theprecedent set by the Engineer spokesman
atthe AMS meeting, eh?"
"But I wasn't trying to copy anybody,"cried Alice, getting more
perplexed by themoment.
"Don't interrupt," the Engineer retortedagain. He was working
the slide rule at aterrifiic rate, dipping it every so often
intohis tea. Around his place at the end of thelong table were tiny
tea stains caused bydrops that had spattered off the slide
rulc...from the rapid motion of his calculations.
"Anyhow, I've almost found it," he con-tinued.
SUGAR IS SCARCE
Alice was just going to ask how he ex-pected to find sugar in
his tea when he hadn'tput any in, but she Inas afraid of being
toldagain not to interrupt.
"Would you like some sugar," Alice en-quired politely.
"Would we ever!" he chortled. "Aboutfive thousand worth." Alice
wondered whyhe would need five thousand dollars' worthof sugar in
one cup of tea, and with sugarso scarce, too.
"Well, it's right in fret of you," Alicewas trying to be
helpful. "But there's notfive thousand dollars' worth in that
littlebowl," she added.
The Scienceman was peering very closelyat his slide rule. "Of
course not!" he snapped."It's right here somewhere. Now lemme
see.Five symphony concerts divided by fivethousand Sciencemen.
That's a thousandSciencemen per concert. That's great isn't
it."
"I guess so," said Alice, hesitating, "but

We will be the first to concede that a cer-tain degree of
censorship is to the publicadvantage, and mutual good. But we
feelthat the Ubyssey can make its own dbcisions.
We do not wish and we do not intend tobecome the tool of the
student council.
Furthermore, Livingstone's action is en-tirely unconstitutional.
Nowhere in the codeor constitution of the AMS is there any clauseor
even inference that council meetings areclosed.
Attendance at the regular Monday nightmeetings is open to all
students. The formalityof requesting permission is normally
observ-ed but such permission cannot be refused.
Finally, we strongly believe that theelected representatives of
the student body--elected to represent, mind you—should beheld
responsible for what they say and forwhat they believe. It is not
sufficient that thestudents be informed only of the motionspassed.
They must be told the complete story.
We ask the student body to come to thedefence of the Daily
Ubyssey. We ask thatthey urge their representatives on the
Under-graduate Societies Committee to make a re-commendation that
no such untoward actionbe taken in the future,
•I thought the Sciencemen didn't go to thesymphony
concerts."
"Of course we don't!" he snapped back."That's why it's great. We
can stay away inthousands and still have Sciencemen left overto go
#to the banquet."
Alice was going to ask why the sameSciencemen who stayed away
from the sym-phony concerts couldn't go to the banquet."It would
sort of save manpower, too," shethought to herself,
"Yes, it would save manpower," theScienceman agreed with
her.
"I didn't say anything," Alice said.
IT TAKES TIME"Don't interrupt," he said. "Besides, we
gotta work out a schedule." He slipped theslide rule back into
his tea cup and warsdividing the little tea stains into groups
withhis drafting pencil. "Now lemme see," hemused. "I can't
possibly stay away from allfive concerts."
"Why not." Alice asked."Too busy, stupid!" he said, "Far too
busy.""But it doesn't take time to stay away
from concerts," Alice protested."Of course it does!" the
Redshirt ex-
ploded. "If you stay away from the concertyou have to be
somewhere else. And if youhave to be somewhere else, you can't
possiblygo to the concert. And if you haven't got timeto go, how
can you possibly find time to stayaway?"
Alice didn't know. "But why couldn'tyou just stay away from two
or three andgo to the rest?" she said.
"Riff raff!" said the Scienceman. "Didyou ever go to a symphony
where they servebeer, and everybody brings a bottle and getstight
as hell?"
"No, and I wouldn't want to!" Alice wasannoyed at the grinning,
vulgar monster inthe red sweater.
"Well, we do!" he chortled. "And isswunnerful. Precedent, I
mean. Free banquetsfor twenty-one years. Everybody gets tightas
hell." He winked slyly. "And all for free,too."
"I guess that's what happens if you gettoo much sugar in your
tea," thought Alice asshe got up from the table. "And listen to
himnow. He must be hungry again. Or why elsewould he be sitting
there shouting for fivethousand clams?"

'Oscar; First Year Pig,Is Resident UBC Student
Don't be surprised if you see a pig strolling in for a lecturein
the Aggie Pavillion—it's just Oscar. the pet of the AnimalHusbandry
Department
Oscar was due for an early trifto pig heaven but was saved by
BudMcLeod, former Thunderbird hoopman, now assisting in the
AnimalHusbandry Department.
Like the old woman in the shoe,Oscar's mother had just too
manychildren so Oscar was turned outin the cold. (There were
thirteenin the litter and she was superstitious.
Spurned by his family, Oscar took
to the bottle and under Bud's tenderc a re, grew surprisingly
well.
He was kept for a week in one of
the guinea pig cages of the animal
nutrition lab, here he subsisted on
cow's milk, Outgrowing this diet he
took over the digestion stall, usually
used for feeding trial, where his
diet was cham,Yecl to a gruel of calf
meal and warm milk. Two weekslater he was ready to take it
straightand switched to dry meal and milk.
THE GYPSY IN HIMLike the prodigal son, Oscar has
a tendancy to wander and keep theanimal husbandry boys busy
retriev-ing him from Acadia camp and othernearby haunts.
He loves to be petted and scratched,but if he takes a notion to
dislike a
person he promptly shows it by biting
Weighing slightly over 200 pounds
at present, he has consumed about
8:0 pounds feed, Professor'King, of the Department ofAnim
Husbandry, says that since
there has never been a fat liarro‘von the farm Imost ;Ire

til he reaches the 500-pound mark,
That is, if he doesn't wander too near

of changing the present setup, inwhich the Jokers found
themselveson the outside looking in.
At first determined to hold out inan organized "sit down" in the
Presi-dent's offce, the Jokers later recededwith a decision to set
up organizedpicket lines around the AMS officestoday.
"The Engineers ought to back youalright," Livingstone put in,
"theirbudget was a bit of a Jokers' effort."
The Jokers left the President withtwo alternatives. Either he is
tomove in with the Fish and GameClub and give them his office
per-manently, or the Fish and Game clubwill have to move into the
President'soffice and let the Jokers carry onin their old quarters,
members ofthe club said.
"And as for the Outdoor Club,"they said, "well, it's an outdoor
club—so it ought to be outdoors!"

'Birds SeekInitial WinSaturday
Still gunning for their initial Am-erican football victory,
UBC's up-coming Thunderbirds move to Bell-ingham this Saturday for
an exhib-ition set-to with Western Washington.
Proud of their showing againstCPS last weekend, but still
regrett-ing the way the game slipped throughtheir fingers, the
'Birds will be allout for a win Saturday.
And if the old adage, practice makesperfect, has any virtue in
it then theKabatmen should be right in there.With fundamentals now
completelymastered, Kabat has been concentra-ting on backfield
timing this pastweek and, results have been encour-aging.
VIKINGS TOUGHWestern Washington will be no
pushover, however. The Vikings arerated as the best in the
WINCOleague and the WINCO loop is justone step down from the
Pacific CoastConference.
Meanwhile, Marnooks have comple-ted arrangements with Great
North-ern for a special UBC train to carryrooters to Bellingham.
The trainleaves Great Northern Station Satur-day at 3 p.m.,
arriving in Bellinghamabout 4:45.
Upwards of 500 UBC students areexpected to take advantage of
thespecial $2.45 return fare, Also inclu-ded in the passenger list
are cheerleaders, drum majorettes, Arthur Del-amonte's University
band and theVarsity pipe band.
Hoop SquadsNow Training
Once again basketball has begunits pre-season attempt to
outshinethe brilliance of the UBC Americangrid machine.
Casaba mentor Bob Osborne hasalready started regulating and
div-iding practice time among the variedteams, and ex-Birds and
ex-Chiefshave been turning out regularly sinceUBC opened.
STARS RETURNFrom last year's starry aggregation,
Bob Haas, Harry Kermode, Pat Mc-Gee•, Johnny Forsyth, Jimmy
Mc-Lean, and Nev Munroe have returned.
Lentham and Mitchell from the1946 Chiefs will also be out
withTrey Shaw, Pete Walker, Suds Sou-therkincl, Dougie Bell and Big
BillBell, as well as a host of other "name"players.
NEW MENSome pretty fair hopefuls have been
seen on the maple courts in the lastfew days. Standouts are Art
Phil-lips and Rob Abercrombie from lastyear's Dunbar Team.
Things don't look too good for theIntermediate prospects this
year.
Latest word from Vancouver hasit that the Varsity teams will not
beallowed to participate in the inter-cityleague play. It is hoped
however thatthe Physical Education Departmentwill be able to
organize a sort of"house system" to allow men of in-
termediate age and ability to play
a little ball in their spare time.
thi' way we will be able towatch fm: good players; and
preparefor their advancement up to betterteams," says coach
Osborne.
HOMECOMINGFirst chance for the eager crowds
to see the Thunderbirds team in ac-tion will he on Homecoming
Night
when they will meet the Grad's teamin their annual tiff.
FEM BIG BLOCK
There will be a meeting of theWomen's Big Block Club, Friday
at12:30, in the Mildred Brock Room.Important, all members
present.
Bleuchel is confident that his teamcan't lose a meet this year.
Last yearthey lost only one, to the Universityof Washington.
However, after ex-ams in the spring the UBC plankstars spent six
weeks at GaribaldPark training under Peter Vajda,chief ski coach
for Western Canada.Next month a special instructor fromthe States
will train the boys inwhat proved last year to be theirweakest
spot, jumping. At presentthe team trains up Mount Bakerevery
weekend and sandwiches fourP.T. periods a week between
lectures.
CHRISTMAS MEETThings will really get hot around
Christmas time when the boys pre-pare in earnest for the U.S.
NationalIntercollegiate Championship to beheld December 28 at Sun
Valley,Idaho, It was at this meet last yearthat the UBC dew were
nosed outby only a few points by Washington.This year with
Washington deprivedof three of their key men, Bleuchelis sure that
the Varsity boys willcome home with the silverware,
UBC wil be the defending champsat. the Canadian Intercollegiate
skimeet at Banff in February. Othermeets feature team work, but
atBanff the boys have a chance togain glory for their individual
efforts.
EXPERIENCED MENGarvin Robinson, who holds the
Western Canadian downhill andslalom championship, is a cinch
tocop honours there. Arnie Teasdale,John Frazee, Doug Fraser, Don
And-erson, Don Fernside, George Woodand Gordie Cowie won't be far
be-hind Gar. All but Fernside andWood were stalwarts of last
year'steam, and have benefited by theirexperience.
Don Fernside is a terrific asset,for the boy shines in jumping.
Lastyear at the Northwest Pacific Inter-colleg;ate Meet he won the
jumpingcontest!
In March the spotlight will shineon Martin Pass, the home
slopesOf University of Washington, former-ly UBC's only
competition. Onceagain Bteuchel reminds us that U ofW are minus
three of their stars, Etn dVarsity should hold the title of
theNorthwest Intercollegiate Meet, too.
RUGGEREnglish Rugger practices for
ten us ore being staged every after-noon on the tipper field at
3:30. Allcandidates for Varsity and UBC en--
tries are urged to turn out to thestadium immediately.
