Students Favor Japs at UB C reviewin g the play s By BURTON KURTH (President of the Letters Club ) IN THIS age of mechanize d entertainment, it is indeed re- freshing to see and hear actual stage performances, especially those done by enthusiastic ama- teurs . This year, the members o f the Players' Club, both new an d old, combined their talents to giv e U.S three exceptionally fine pro- ductions that at times approache d a professional level . The three plays chosen thi s year were not only extremely en- tertaining but were also especiall y suitable for the particular talents available . Very seldom did on e feel that the players had to strain to put their performance across . SLIGHTEST OF THRE E The first play, ' a comedy, "I n Waltz Time," was the slightest of the three in dramatic content . It was essentially a conventional per- iod-play, a play of caricature cal - ling for a typical rather than in- dividual portrayal of character . The all feminine cast manage d with ease to impart the atmos- phere of rigid gentility and dec - . orum that the period is conven- tionally thought to require . Lad y Bagahot was particularly convin- cing in her Napoleonic wrath . The one inherent weakness o f the plot, that of fitting in the nar- rative, was admirably smoothe d over by Miss Charlotte's convinc- ing small-talk and domestic ac- tivity . The amusing dialogue rare- ly failed to get a response fro m the audience . On the whole, i t was delightfully carried out, and, despite its length, the most wa s made of its one dramatic moment . MOST INTENSE PLAY The second play, Eugene O'Neil' s "In the Zone," was the most in - tense offering of the evening. I t was also the most difficult an d exacting one to put over becaus e its most dramatic parts were exe- cuted in pantomime . It might be mentioned here, in goad part. that the rather boisterous elements i n the student audience of Wednes- day evening did very little / to help the players in their difficult roles . Significantly, on Saturday night , with a more sympathetic audience , the actors gave a most impressiv e performance . They were aisle t o impart the feeling of tension, un- der which they live . . They wer e able to build up the intensity o f the dramatic situation and tinde r the convincing lea ;leeship of Da- vis and Driscoll, to create th e sense of growing suspicion as on e character reacted upon another . Even the extremely violent part s did not seem out of place. Th e setting and stagecraft was excel - lent, especially the sound of win d and water which imparted intens e realism to the ,situation, . The clos e of the play was poigg .tantly effec- tive in the tragedy of Smit`y s wil- ted figure and the helpless sympa- thy of his erstwhile persecutors . One very slight trit :cisut might be made of the rather exeesstvs move- ment and crowding that took place at times in the relatively smal l area available . HIGHLIGHT OF EVENING The final produchea, "Johnn y Dunn," was undoehte .11y the high . light of the evening, not particu- larly in dramatic quality but i n spirit and pep . The technical com- bination of narrator, chorus an d solo performer minim ' s ore of Ste- phen Vincent Benet ' s radio plays . But this play had the added ad - vantage of colorful costume, an d settings, versatile lighting effects , and a real-life, beautifully flee - bitten, and incomparable Johnn y Dunn . Without question, Murra y Sager, as Johnny, was the out - standing performer of the evening . The play itself is a dcliFtdfu l employment of local Canadian col - or and folk-lore of the Paul B : n - yon variety . It is tlehberately ex- aggerated and fantastic but it i s top-notch entertainmen t . Bet aus e of the nature qf its subjes : ;matter , the production necesst .ly le( le , l unity but on the whale, the nar- rator and chorus to l led in the gap s with snap and precision .

The whole play h :id a n excellent coordinaiiwi and rhy ;h- mical pattern that raised it abov e what might have been a chaoti c mob effect . Queen s Parad e Toda y • "TAKE a doll to the Fal l Ball", will be the key- note of the pep meet in th e Auditorium at 12 :30 today. The eye-opening octette o} can- didates for the title of "Miss UBC" will be presented to the student s at the end of the meet.

"It's Time for a Change "Special committee of the Students '

Council to investigate student representatio non Council will begin its work this week .The committee hopes to have a, complet enew governmental set-up ready before elec-tion of next year's Council in February .

This action is long overdue . Our nine-man Council was devised for a university o fless than 1500 . Now, with registration up t othe 2900 mark and soaring higher everyyear, UBC's student government finds itsel funable to handle efficiently the affairs of s omany students ,

The students have grown out of propor-tion to Council . Student executives often donot know who they represent . Students d onot know who on Council to see to arrang etheir affairs . With so many students, coun-cillors are over-loaded with jobs to such an'extent that few are handled in the rightmanner .

Canadian unity depends upon Canadiannationalism . Unification comes to a countrynaturally when the citizens all hold the sam eideals. Common ends and aims are the basisof a nation no matter how many languagesare spoken within its borders.

The United States, which sometimesgoes off . the deep end with its strident na-tionalism, plugs the leaks in the melting po twith its "American way of life " and "Libertyand justice for all". Whether you talk to aMaine fisherman, New York Italian, South -ern negro, Wisconsin Scandinavian, Okla-homa Indian or a Western farmer you wil lfind these two phrases the backbone of theAmerican nation .

With a Declaration of Independence, aconstitution and a long line of time-madenational heroes, ,every American feels thathis nation is the best and has the ideals be -hind him to prove it .

We've been doing a little house cleaningon the editorial page recently . We've beenbusy as little bees trying to take some o fthe advertising off this page and make roo mfor articles of opinion, comment, the Arts ,Sciences, and the lighter side of universitylife. We did the big thing and moved themasthead with all our names on it to thelower right hand corner . Now all we hav eto do is convince the advertising manage rthat he ' s paying too much income tax .

If we accomplish this we would agai nlike to invite students to contribute to thispage . We issue a special invitation everyyear, but very few take us up on it . Lastyear we were criticised by hundreds o f

• in all seriousness,• ONE OF the most humorous highlights

of the recent revival of so-called Artsspirit was the spectacle of the Arts execu-tives attempting to dampen the spirits theyworked so hard to arouse.

They ran about thecampus muttering of thenecessity of keeping thedemonstration of spirit on acertain prescribed level o fdignity ,

They ran about thecampus muttering to a cor-respondent for a downtownpaper about the necessity o fkeeping news that wouldsupposedly harm the uni-

versity out of the papers .They ran about the campus trying to

snare the monster spirit they had t createdand as far as I am concerned the Artsexecutive can run around the campus forevermore and all they will get is blisters o ntheir feet .SPIRIT IS UNCONTROLABL E

There never has been and never will beany body of student officials who can effec-tively control Arts spirit when it is aroused.There never has been and never will be anybody of student officials who can forestal ladverse publicity when, for example, thewindows of the Arts or Applied Scienc ebuilding are broken or when the sciencemenbreak out the fire hose . The public enjoysreading of the escapades and the student senjoy taking part in them . The combinatio nis unbeatable .

And for all the righteous indignatio nof Arts executives, there probably isn't oneof them that does not have a secret desir eto wield a fire hose . Take away the respon -

In past years, Council has muddle dalong with its out-moded system . Sincere ,but unable to do things right because of thesystem, our Council has been criticized atevery turn .

And just as confused as Council, Th eUbyssey has muddled along right behind ,throwing more than its share of criticis minto the fire, but never stopping to get a tthe cause .

A study will be made of other univer-sity governments . Their experiences will beapplied to UBC problems . New ideas willbe examined carefully. It will be no hurrie dchange-over . The system that results will b ea well-planned government . The committeeintends to spend a great deal of time befor eit submits the scheme to students at a specialAMS meeting sometime near the end o fJanuary .

This kind of nationalism must learn t osubordinate itself at times to international -ism, but nevertheless Canadians would d owell to ponder the American plan .

It's no new plan . Every other natio nsince time began has used it—causing muchof the world's troubles . The point we wan tto make here is, whether or not Canada hasthe common ideals and aims from coast tocoast that produce a nation .

The answer is obviously "no" . Ourideals are borrowed ones . They are giftswhich have been handed to us on a silve rplatter. Our allegiance and loyalty aredivided between that which gave and tha twhich received . Our ideals are split, andtherefore no really true nation can be buil taround them .

What this country needs Is something ,call it "ideals", "aims" or "ends", aroun dwhich we can rally the whole of the nation.

petitioners for not printing articles we neve rreceived. If this happens again we'll justgo ahead and print some of these article swe never receive . It will serve you right.

We do not make ,any rules about thesearticles. They are subject to our whims andmoods. But if you write fairly well andhave something to write about you stand agood chance of seeing it in print . Just don'tget too libellous .

And while you're at it, if these is any -thing about the paper you don 't like, or ifyou have any suggestions, let us in on it .We won't pay a bit of attention to them, butyou'll feel better after you get it off you rchest .

sibility of a student office, and you have apotential fire hose wielder .STUDENTS LOVE HORSEPLAY

Spirit of the inter-faculty variety wil lnever be controlled until an all-inclusiv eVarsity spirit is developed, because the ma-jority of students love the odd bit of horse-play. The regrettable thing is that there aresome students, artsmen and scienceme nalike, who enjoy more than a sane dose o fhorseplay.

When UBC finally gets to the positionof participating in inter-collegiate sportsthen the individual faculties will forget thei rgrievances and concentrate on shouting th epraises of their university instead of bellow-ing the capacity for liquor of their facult yin voices loud enough to be heard in everyhamlet of B.C.

In the day-school atmosphere of thisuniversity today there is no basis on whic hto build the needed Varsity spirit, With n odormitories, UBC is more of an academi cinstitution than a college . Students wh otravel back and forth from home each da yfind it hard to develop the proper love fo rtheir alma mater .

Add to this the lazy, oomph-less typeof cheer leading practised by the over-worked Mamdoks who have just as muc htrouble keeping their own spirits from dyin gas they do with students, and it is easy t osee just why there is a University of Arts ,of Science, and of Agriculture, instead of aUniversity of British Columbia .

Arts executives had better let the spiri tdie than create more bad-feeling betweenstudents in different faculties . If they don't ,then UBC will graduate each year a grey -haired, stooped set of discipline committe emembers .

Folder's !By JOHN GREEN

• BEING NOW in the Navy, i ncase you hadn't noticed, I

wandered, or rather was transpor-ted, down to Discovery the otherday for a spot of training .

I use the word"transported "advisedly (col -umnists alwaysuse words "ad -visedly", espec -ially when theya r e obviousl yinappropr I a t e ,or when theycan't spell th eone they shouldhave used) be -cause we went

down to Discovery in navy trucks .

Navy trucks are very goo d

trucks as trucks go and so are

navy drivers, but they can't takecorners the way the BC Electric

can (I refrain from saying Beastl y

Electric because I am in enough

trouble with them already and I

don't like walking) .NEVER FORGET CORNER S

When the navy takes you around

a corner, you know you have been

around a corner . In fact you nev-

er forget it.I know I won't forget because

I still have the bill from the hos-pital after they put my ribs back

tether again .The reason they go around cor-

ners in that impetuous manner ,

(they really didn't do too badly ,it was just that we were all stan-ding up, seats especially removed

for the occasion, and we hadn't

anything to hang onto) is to thi nyou out so that you will fit into

your navy uniform .With me they made a mistake.

I was too thin already . But ac-cidents can happen in the best

navies.At Discovery those of us who

had not got uniforms at the be-

ginning of the year were Issued

with same. I wish to state here

that there is no truth in the ru-mor that there are two sizes ofuniform, too large and too small .

There is only one size, a perfect

fit-for someone else .

SLEEVES TOO SHORTThe uniform tney issued me, af-

ter convincing the quartermaster

(I'm not sure if they call them

quartermasters in the navy, thereseems to be a word called "pus-ser" that they use instead, but I

will doubtless be told soon) thatI really was to be issued a uni-form, had a few salient shortcom-

ings.It was too short in the sleeves

and the legs, and too large In the

waist and chest. Otherwise it fitted .

The lanyards might have bee n

made for me .After considerable struggling on

the part of the individual whom I

shall continue to call the quarter -

master, they procured an outfi t

which fitted all round except thatit was somewhat large in circum-

ference .

HARD TO GET OUTThis I put op, or rather a group

of sympathisers gathered aroundput it on for me. I learned tha ta navy uniform is as comfortable

as they come, when you are in it,

except that they issue sandpaper

on the inside of the jerseys. Butit is quite a task to get into, a re -

ward for 'perseverance as it were,and it is even harder to get out of .

One might liken the uniform to

a padded cell . It takes a consider -

able amount of trouble to get Into,

but once you are in you are highlycomfortable, and can move aboutfreely without endangering you r

person .Then you try to get out. Try

again brother . Reach farther back

over the shoulders and pull . No

lack? Well then try seizing thecollar in your teeth and wriggling

around a bit .Still getting nowhere? Well don' t

strangle yourself, get those twonice boys over there to help you .

That's it, each one grab a sleevein one hand and a hunk of shoul-der in the other, No you fool, Imeant part of the shoulder of the

jumper . Okay now. You two gothat way and you back up in theother direction .

That's right, it's coming. It's

stuck half way? Well put you rhands on their shoulders and push.Come on now, just one more heave .

So you pop out like a cork out

of a bottle of catsup (fooled ya )and go staggering back over two

full dufflebags, trip over six pair sof feet, and land on your hea d

underneath a ping-gong tabl e(how did that get in there?) .

Go to the nearest hydrant an( 'cool yourself off chum . You gutout of it didn't you?

From "Time and Tide" in the Mc-Gill Dail y• IT IS UNFORTUNATELY

clear that the outstandingproduct of the United States ofAmerica for the calendar year of1944 is the unique and unprece-dented Frank Sinatra . His effecton the youth of America is as wel lknown and has been as thoroughlydescribed as any other new dis-ease . The phenomenon of Sinatrais basically a sexual phenomenon.

Sinatra is the symbol of a large-ly oversexed nation—a nation tha tthrives on leg-art, cheek-to-chee kclose-clutch dancing, girlie-amours,tabloid sex sensation, Deanna Dur-bin's first kiss, and the privatelife of every public figure in itsmidst. Sex seems to be no longera single function of life, but vir-tually the sole purpose of exist-

ence; nor is it frank, proud, Rab-

elaisian sex, but hush-hush sex

that smirks at four letter wordsand makes its assignations out ofthe corner of its mouth. And themovies, the musical shows, themagazine cartoons, the conversa-tions of metropolitan youth, al ldevote the greater part of theirattention to the gross exaggerationof this aspect of society.

Few other nations have a street -corner problem of *such excessiv edimensions; no other nation,equally civilized, has a dance styleso aboriginal, so orgiastic, so un-refined; no other nation has FrankSinatra—and no other nationwould react to him in so prom-iscuous a manner. Sinatra's devo-ted legions are for the most partso unstable, so utterly undignified,so glaringly incapable of assuminginternational responsibilities or ev-en thinking responsible thoughts ,that it speaks very poorly for his

exploitation of them and for thehealth and future of the Ameri-can nation as a whole .

Adolescence, intellectual and e-motional adolescence, is the abid-ing fault of some of our very goodneighbors to the south. We inCanada admire, respect, and evenlove the United States of Amer-ica and its many distinguishedcitizens; but an invasion of ourundefended frontier for the

.pur-

pose of converting us to Sinatra-fans is hardly the reciprocity wedeserve. Furthermore : we like tovisit across the border, and wehave suffered with but little com-plaint the foreign-exchange re-strictions which have hamstrungour wonted vacations--and herecomes Sinatra to take away some$10,000 in return foil one forty-mi-nute exposure of his erotic tonsils.

VIKINGS END VARSITY VICTORY STREAK

Lappy's VitaminHids Take 60.56 UBC Puck Chasers ImproveWin From 'Birds

ONE LITTLE TRIP DID IT• WHAT WITH VARSITY teams appearing all over th e

sports pages of various downtown sheets, especially th eDaily P, the Vancouver S and the News H, I was beginnin gto think that the University of British Columbia was comingright along in the sports world .

But all of a sudden another angle hits me square betwee nthe blinkers and I am off on another tangent . Once moreI am feeling rather dissatisfied with the sport situation onthis campus .

All it took was a short trip across the border to a small -time college with a big-time hanger, the Western Washingto nCollege of Education in Bellingham. It seems that the UB CThunderbirds played the WWC Viking hoopers in a featureHomecoming tilt Saturday night, '

It took only five minutes of the contest to convince m ethat our students don't see basketball . In fact, as I see it, thewhole of Vancouver and British Columbia don't se ebasketball,

How About A Swim, Fellas ?When I speak about basketball, I do not refer to thi s

petty ball-pushing and general rough-housing of the local .senior loop . I speak of this top-notch stuff which is rampanteven in the lowest of Yank colleges.

But it wasn't just the terrific basketball down there, i twas the commodiously spacious gym (they have every rightto call it a pavilion), the spotless dressing rooms, and thecolorfully-tiled shower-room with showers all in a row o neach side

. But to top it all off, there was the swimming pool . Sucha swimming pool I have not seen anywhere in this vine . TheThunderbirds forgot all about their defeat as they rompe dlike kids in and about the emerald-green waters .

Then there was the dance, but here I had to admit thatwe had them beat with our Brock Hall . I was kind of proudof that, but when I thought of our sports facilities in compari-son to theirs, I was almost ready to break down in tears .

We Should Be In ParadiseSo I asked them how many etudes they have, and I col -

lapsed when I found out that they have a grand total of 314 .When I came to, I thought of what UBC should have at thisrate. With almost 3000 inhabiting our fair battlements, weshould have ten times as much, but this would be paradise .

What got me was the fact that, of 314 students at WesternWashington, 275 of them are gals. It must be heaven . Onlytrouble is, they make a first-class hoop outfit from the 39male students, all of whom are 4F .

Of course, we must remember that they are required topractise three hours a day, and they usually practise anothercouple of hours a day while our boys slave over slip-stick sin the depths of the Applied Science building from 8 till 5every day. With luck, the Birds get two one-hour practice sa week .

I'll Take UBC But Jack Won' tSomething should be done about all this, but it is a cinch

it will take a heck of a long time for us to catch up with th eYanks in this respect. Maybe that's why we lose so manyof our Canadian athletes to the States . The Thunderbirdsplayed against Jack Graham Saturday night, and he hail sfrom this town. He picked WWC instead of UBC .

But before I close this little epic, there 's one more thingI'd like to say . If you want to see basketball—basketball tha tis really basketball—don 't miss the return game againstWestern Washington .

You'll get your chance to see some real basketball onThursday, November 30, at noon hour in the gym . And then ,if you want to watch some of the greatest casaba experts i naction, come to the two-game series against University o fOregon's Webfoots on December 18-19.

You won't be sorry .

whirling sticks, hockey has re-

turned to Varsity . In Vancouver's

famous Forum the cream of UBC's

ice crop Is gradually shaping into

a well-balanced team .

There are boys on the Varsit y

six who come from all over BC —from the Interior, from the Island ,and even from Vancouver Itself .

Managing the team is Chuck Mc-

Lennan and coaching is Jack Var-

coe. These two men have been

doing sterling work for the recog-

nition of the team since Its forma-

tion in September.

In their first two games, it is ad-mitted, the boys did not do well ,

losing by scores 7-1 and 11-3. Butin the third game on Sunday, No-vember 19 they began at last torealize their great potentialstrength, tieing a strong B.C. Elec-

tric team 5.5 .In the game, the BCER gang con -

trolled the play during all of thefirst period, scoring four quic k

goals in the first ten minutes with-out a reply from the Varsity six.With the start of the second period ,however, the Varsity boys slowlybut surely pulled the flashy tra mteam down to their level, back-checking furiously and holdin gtheir opponents to a standstillwhile getting two goals themselves .

The third period showed the bes taction of the whole game. Enter-ing the session down 4-2, the Blu eand Gold skaters soon scored an -other a minute after the periodstarted . The BCER team got theirlast score on a fast breakawayplay, but from that moment on,they didn't have another good scor-ing chance .

Soon after, the Varsity boys gottheir fourth goal from a mixup i n

EDITOR'S NOTE;—I mentioned this character being on leave I nmy last gospel, but here he is in poison . I caught him down atthe News H Sunday night,and this guest column Is the result .

• SPORT . . , SPORT . . . sport , , , glorious sport . Without'sport w ewould need no sports writers, sports editors and space writers, s o

naturally I say, "Oh glorious sport!" (End of speech) .But to continue, or at least to start, I, a sports writer, must tel l

you about the glorious sports stadium in the Holy City of Toronto ,commonly known to all good citizens as the Maple Leaf Gardens .

This dynamic, tremendous, all-concrete structure houses 12,599 (Paid )and a water-boy . But naturally, with various sports editors and deadbeats (guess who.) the capacity runs well over the 13,000 mark .

How well I remember the first night of this year's NHL season inthe city of Toronto, when I am accompanied by an ExVarsity characte rDon McLean and the two of us talk our way into the press box of th eGardens to view the big-time ceremonies, which are famous throughou tthe whole country, and even as far as Quebec .

Incidentally, Vern DeGeer, sports editor of the Toronto Globe andMail, is getting us in for free . With the aid of his influence and th egateman's patriotic feelings for two boys in Air Force blue, we ar ehaving no trouble .

We are sitting there dead sober (dad-rat it!) when the lights i nthe rink cut right off to an indecent degree, whereupon two brigh tspotlights appear at the South end of the Gardens and light up the Unio nJack and the American Stars and Stripes .

These two beautiful flags are waving back and forth in the breez ewhich is specially furnished for the occasion by two electric fans . Jus tas the lights go out and the spots loom through the dark, a Scottish band ,which has been parading back and forth and up and down the ice fo rfifteen minutes, breaks into the strains of "Oh Canada", followed im-mediately by the "Stars and Stripes" .

Boy, with both the Leafs and the Rangers standing to attention ontheir respective blue lines, with the lights out, and with the flags waving—these sights and sounds send a queer feeling through my blood whichmakes me feel very small in such a horribly large world .

As the "Stars and Stripes" come to a dramatic climax, the lighting effec tcomes back very slowly, giving the customers a taste of another Mapl eLeaf Garden specialty .

No, I shall not soon forget my sojourn to the east and my visit to th eMaple Leaf Gardens. And that's just another reason why I say, "Sport . . .snort , , , sport . . . Oh glorious sport! "_se

Varsity's backline is not very ade-quate . MacPherson, however, play-ed his last game for UBC as pres-sure of studies has forced him toquit until after Christmas.

According to the management,the main trouble for the team isthe lack of support from the stu-dents of UBC. The only way forstudents to remedy this trouble isfor them to turn out every gameand root for their team. The sched-ule of games for the team will beannounced in a future edition ofthe Ubysmy.

The full team Is : First line—Tay-lor, centre; Hadlan, left wing; andDevlin, right wing. First defence,Jones and Gardner . Second line—Rowledge, centre; Buhler, left wing,and Cooper, right wing . Seconddefence, Walden and Smetanuk ,Spares — Lockwood and Maclnnes.Goal—Joe Moyls ,
