Joint BoardResolutionDelayed

A joint meeting of the Men's an dWomen's Athletic Directorates lastThursday resulted in the formationof a committee to bring in recom-mendations to the meeting.

An original motion which woul dhave resulted in a joint board andonly on athletic representative onthe student council was delayed fo rfurther consideration at the session .

ONE MEMBER

With the setting up of a joint boardit would be necessary for only on eathletic member on Student Council ,This move was not favored by themajority of the MAD and WAA mem-bers who felt that a woman's repre-sentative on the council was necessary .

Pat MacThtosh, president of theWAA, said "The coordination boar dis a wonderful idea' but the wome nshould still have free representationon the council . "

Dean M, Dorothy Mawdsley claime dthat, "the President of MAD wouldnot necessarily voice the opinion ofthe WAA. "

After considerable discussion, chair -man Ted Kirkpatrick succeeded ingetting a motion passed for establish-lug the joint board .

CHIEF ARGUMENTChief argument was presented by

the WAA delegation, who wanted adefinite stipulation that an amountof 25 cents per student on the campu swould be allotted to them .

Chief argument against the financialsetup was presented by the WAAdelegation, who wanted a definite stip-ulation that an amount of 25c perstudent or some definite sum be al-lotted to the WAA .

FINANCIAL SYSTEMAs the financial system stands now ,

$1 .75 per head is allotted to the MAD,and approximately 25c per head to theWAA. Under the new scheme astraight $2.00 per head would be al-lotted to the joint board for distri-bution .

Finally the meeting decided to mo-dify its motion of setting up the jointbody as a board and the motion wasamended so that the body would beformed as a committee to bring backa recommendation to the joint meeting ,

The committee formed would con -islet of two members from both MAIDand WAA, the directors of Men's andWomen's Physical Education, and aseventh member as thairman .

HEAR NO EVILThe proposed constitution of the so-called

"Democratic" Forum which is being put forthfor AMS approval by a small group of student sis a most interesting, in fact almost entertaining,document .

The most important article in that consti-tution would indicate that we have all 'bee nwrong in assuming that the majority of stu-dents on this campus believe in a democrati cform of government, developed as a guide fo r

i/ the capitalistic system of free enterprise .It seems safe enough to say that—up t o

now at least—the majority of students 'hav ebelieved so much in their democracy and fre eenterprise that they thought it able to stan dcomparison with conflicting philosophies .

It has always seemed logical to assume tha tany group believing in the merits of capitalismare quite willing to hear, and to meet, any cri-ticism of it.

But not so those who would, under the guis eof befriending the theory by which we live atpresent in British Columbia, establish thi s"Democratic" Forum.

In fact, they seemingly have so little faithin the strength of their own convictions thatthey have had to put in their constitution anarticle which would protect their ears, durin gmeeting hours, from any vile talk about non-lemocratic or non-capitalistic ideas . That articlemaintains that "no member shall discuss, expound, or put forth any philosophies, teachings ,ideas or theories, good or bad, desirable orundesirable, of any other philosophy or theor y

What cheer, my rubella-visaged rosebuds .Those of us who have endured the gentle

purging of English 150 might well shrink fro mcrediting the Baldpate Bard of Avon withvulgar things like hits, runs and errors . Never-theless, the same Wm. who scores with rosesdistilled (above) fouled well into the bleacher swith this nasty swing :

of government or economic system whatso-ever," except in conformity with another articl ewhich provides only for discussion of the merit sand advantages of capitalism and not for dis .

cussion of demerits or disadvantages .There isn't much doubt that a club founde d

under the proposed constitution would fail t oattract the type of person who, by being un-afraid to discuss all sides of a problem, ha sdone the most to advance the cause of truedemocracy and of capitalism .

We would direct the thoughts of those wh odrafted the articles to an editorial in SaturdayNight for January 18 entitled "Of DangerousDoctrines". That editorial, in part, maintainsthat: "It is one of the problems of democrac ythat its fundamental doctrines require it totolerate the teaching even of doctrines opposedto its very existence . The truth is that democra-cy is a political system suitable only for peopl ewho are intelligent enough to appreciate it smerits ; it cannot be maintained among peopl ewho can be persuaded that it is not the . bestsystem. And we incline to believe that peopl eare more likely to maintain it if all the con-flicting substitute nostrums can be freely ped-dled among them . "

It is no answer for the would-be Democrati cForum founders to maintain that other club sexist for the study of theories opposed to theirbeliefs . If they would become true democrat ssurely they must first remove the restrictiv earticles which are born not of faith but of fear, ,and which would make their club "Democratic "in name only .

Dear Sir :

A point that has worried me forsome ' time—was even more forciblybrought to my attention by a recen tmovie, called, I believe, "Mom an dDad ." This movie in part demdnstra-ted the fearful consequences of V .D .also the high percentages having thi sdread disease. Something should b edone about this frightful situation —and the place to start is right here—on the campus of UBC! Yes—com-pulsory V.D. tests should be intro-duced and all members of the stud-ent body and the faculty should betested too. If the results of such asurvey were published, the shockmight be great . But a shock is wha twe need—to raise the declining mora lstandards of today . These tests mightbe managed in a similar manner t othe T.B. tests—from which most sat-isfactory results have been obtained .

This drastic step is necessary sincethe services did not compell all vet s

Dear Sir :

There has been considerable rum -our around the campus about an in-vasion of Victoria early in March ,hut like so many events at UBC lit-tle action appears to have developed .

It would be a pity to overlook th ealmost historical significance of thesetrips to the Island . Many Grads re -member the invasion as the outstand-ing event, socially and athletically, o fthe year . The wide open twenties in-stigated the merriment and it reacheda high peak in pre-war years .

Certainly Victoria was always im-pressed by the student enthusiasm .Lets tear up the goal posts again .

Pubster . "I know for a fact that you've all done a lot of beefing about th eWay Student Council was run this year, and you haven't any kind of legiti-mete kick next year if you don't vote now. After all, the AMS is spendin gyour money and if you have fifteen dollars to throw away without any sa yas to how it's to be spent, and Who's to spend it, why just go ahead . I believein trying to get my money's worth. "

"Well, unless they improve the ballot system plenty, there won' tbe much success with this year's voting," observed the Statistician. "Votingor the good-looking man isn't going to do much good either. "

"All right," pouted the Freshette, "you're so smart . How are we supposedto know who 's the best man to vote in for president? This is only my firstyear here and I, for one, don't know anyone that's going to try for office. "

"You know me," grinned the Engineer, "Fm trying for an office and I'llneed a secretary, too . "

"A keeper, you exponential maniac," muttered the Philosopher. "But i tstrikes me fellows, and m0' dear lady, that there is a lot of political activityon the campus this year. And in answer to your question, these candidatesall give speeches and state platforms in the Ubyssey. Seems to me, this placeis getting so ser'ious ' that it's almost impossible for a person to smile, withou this grimace being interpreted as having some ulterior motive . "

The Philosopher was just getting warmed up to hid' subject and gettin gready to treat us to some of his ideas, of which he had a great many. A lotof them came from others to begin with, it's true, but sometimes he manage dto put them together in a new way . Besides, we liked to hear him talk, i tsaved all of us the trouble of having our own opinions . He had been lightin ghis pipe, with unusual success to the operation, when a vision of Parnassu sskirted the table and lo! the hunter of the yeast was caught,

TWIN FATESBut Parnassus just passed by and before the Philosopher could resum e

his soliloquy, the Pubster came in with a choice bit of the latest gossip ."I hear your not-so-skinny friend is about to enter the bonds of

matrimony. ""Oh," bubbled the Freshette, "you mean ;ny chum? Yes, and her man's

the nicest guy. ""Boy," groaned the Engineer, "that's narrowing the field down, Now I

know exactly who he is . "Say, darling," the Philosopher could be most affectionate, "did you eve r

notice that funeral wreaths and wedding bouquets come from the sam eplace — the florists? "

He was going to continue, but Parnassus returned and stopped to con -verse. Exit the Philosopher ,

"Well, I've got a lecture," said the Engineer."Me too," said the Freshette .So they left . Our bull-session had broken up without even getting t o

the topic of sex.

POINTING EAGERLY TO WHAT HE WANTS before submitting to the shears of student

barber "Dave" , a Ubyssey reporter gets a close hair-cut—free—at the newly-established cam -

pus Vocational School for Barbers.

A Close Shave

THE NICKEL WORKERdepend on each othe r

IN ONE YEAR more tha n77,000,000 board feet of

lumber and timber have bee nused by the Canadian Nickelindustry . It would take 4000freight cars — an average o fmore than ten every day in th eyear — to transport this material .Producing this timber means alot of jobs for Canadians inthe woods and in the sawmills .The lumber industry, in turn ,uses a great deal of equipmentcontaining Nickel . The trac-tors and hoisting equipmentup in the bush ; the machineryand equipment in the sawmills ;

are tough and strong becauseof Nickel . The purchase ofsuch equipment means jobs formen in the Canadian Nickelmines, smelters and refineries .

So the Canadian Nickel in-dustry needs Canadian lumber ;the lumber industry need sCanadian Nickel . To some ex-tent at least the lumbermanowes his job to the Nickelindustry and in turn he help sto keep the Nickel worke rbusy . No matter how weearn a living, we are all onefamily, each depending on theothers .

"The Romance of Nickel" a 60-pagebook full) illustrated, will be sentIree on request to anyone interested .

BARBER'S SCHOOL CLIPS REPORTE Ryears of barbering experience to back he said simply . And please me h eup his instruction . When he first did. In fact Dave is just about theopened up Vic's Barber Shop on east best barber I ever left six poundsBroadway, Vic was the youngest mein- of hair with .ber of the local barber's uolon, In -deed, Vic, started his businness whenhe was just a little shaver .

Vic explained that his boys are nowon their second of a thirty-two weekcourse that embraces everything fromdermatology to what to talk aboutwhile the customer is in the chair.

NO SHORT COURSE

After completing their course, theboys write the B .C. barbers' examand then put in another few monthscutting and combing for a qualifiedbarber before they are consideredready to go out on their own .

The continual flow of "customers "into the new school despite its re-motely south-eastern location testifie sto the ability of the student barberseven after a mere two weeks' practica ltraining. The shop itself is attractive-ly lighted with the latest fluorescentfixtures and seats eight customers a ta time .

Unique feature of the shop is thatthere is no cash register . Everythingis strictly gratis, compliments of VTSand the boys who are learning thetrade.

"IT'S MY TURN NOW" says the de-thatched reporter as h eputs Dave, the barber, into the latter's own chair . Prospects ofadministering a tit-for-tat treatment on the barber appealed t othe reporter after viewing his own thatch in the mirror.

Just call me "Flattop" .I took the thatch-covered mop ove r

to the new Vocational Sdhool forBarbers this week, hoping that may-be the boys over there might be ableto convert me into something re-sembling a Wildroot ad . But uh-uh.

A barbershop nowadays can do asthis one does and make it strictly o nthe house, or it can charge you 65cents a clip, but you'll find that theboys are always the same old cut-ups .

During the occasion on which I wasshaved and shorn, I 'climbed confi-dently into the chair and told one o fthe eight tonsorial technicians in th eestablishment to shoot the works.

SNIP GETS SNIPPEDDave, the barber, made a few cut-

ting remarks and started in with th escissors . While he snipped, clippedand quipped, I learned that the newshop, located near the Forestry sec-tion of the campus, is strictly a DVAproject, limiting its enrolment to ex-service personnel .

"Have you ever—uh--cut hair be-fore, Dave?" I ventured cautiousl ywhen he told me the class had begun ,just last week .

"Oh, sure," he said, "I used to cuthair in the army." That would havebeen okay, too, but he didn't seemto have a bowl my

ISS workers estimate that they re-ceived less than 17 cents from eac hstudent . Objective was equivalent t oone dollar per student.

Dissappointed officials said theyhad hoped to arouse student enthus-iasm by concentrating on explainingthe importance of ISS work in war -ravaged Europe rather than adoptin gthe "Ballyhoo" tactics used in raisin gfunds in previous years .

Last year, more than $6,000 wa sraised during a drive which culmin-ted in a beauty contest .

The leader of the opposition beganhis case by lashing out at the marl -tal status of the Prime Minister ,"What can this man who is a bachelo rhimself know about marriage? " heasked referring to Harwood, "A mar-riage based on coercion is not a mar-riage, "

The leader of the opposition wasBob Harwood ,

He was followed by another speake ragainst the resolution who called th esecond government member to taskfor failing to clarify the resolution .

'Birds Meet Seattle Squad

in Second Battle Tonight

The Blue and Gold basketballing laddies of The Universit y

of British Columbia hit the maple courts again tonight in th e

second of their two game series with the Chieftains from Seattle

College. The two teams did battle last night in the opener at th e

UBC gym as the Thunderbirds went out after their eight h

straight, hoopla victory .

With Harry Franklin missing from

the 'B'irds roster, Coach Bob Osborn e

has been working his charges all week

in an effort to find the perfect com-

bination which he can use for th e

remainder of the Conference schedule ,

Last week, it was Nev Munro wh o

started in the Guard position along

with the 'Birds' top scorer, Ron Web-

ber who formerly worked with

Franklin .

It is very probable that the tall ,

hard-working soph basketeer will be

starting along with Weber again to -

night . Nev's main competition will

come from a couple of other lads wh oare just as eager to get in there as

he is . One of these, Gerry Steven -

son, a red-headed fireball is repute d

to have a terrifically fast eye as far

as watching a basketball or a chee k

is concerned.

SCARR "POSSIBLE"Bob Scare who is also a "possible"

for the spot played last year withLauries Pirates and made a veryfavorable impression with the Pie -men's coach, Joe Hall, Just who willbe starting when the 'Birds finally getaround to resuming Conference corn-petition is still ' mystery to coachOsborne.

Until last night's fracas, the Thun-derbirds were boasting a winningstreak seven games long. Six ofthose victories were of the Confer-ence variety which gives them a 1 .000batting average s fat as Pacific NorthWest Conference games are concerned .

The only other team in the tourney

which has not as yet lost a game i s

the Idaho College squad of Coyotes .

Something is bound to happen soon

on this score, however, as the next

UBC Conference tilts are scheduled

for February 4 and 5 at Caldwel l

against those very same Coyotes .

TORRID TRI P

These games mark the opening of atorrid trip for the men of Oz as the ybegin a week-long road trip agains ttwo of the toughest teams that theyhave to meet this season .

After defeating the highly-touted

Bremerton Rockets and the arm-chair

experts last week, visions of who will .

Win the two-game series this week -

end are not too clear in the mind s

of the moguls . Seattle is sporting a

stronger squad than they had las t

year and will be showing the Vitami n

kids of IJBC all they have in the wa y

of tricks of the trade ,

The UEiC Chiefs will again play thep:elini in tonight's card when theymeet the fourth place Pirate squad i nan effort to make' the second plac erung before the schedule runs out .They are fighting to tie the Adanacsfor the second spot in the Senior Astandings .

Two Soccer Team s

in Weekend Action

After an extensive lay-off of fourweeks for Varsity and eight weeksfor UDC, soccer returns to the spor tscene today with the V and D league' sfirehorse Varsity team meeting th eCollingwood squad at the Collies 'home park and the blue-shined UBCaggregation doing battle with thethird place New Westminster Legio ncrew on the campus. Both tilts ar ecarded for 2 :15 in the afternoon .

The Varsity-Conlltngwood affair isof special importance with secon dplace in the league standings at stake .In their last league fixture Varsit ydowned the red-shirted squad by a7-1 count. UBC also won their las tmeeting with the Royal City crew bya 2-1 margin .

the Tisdall Cup .Participating in the melee for th e

silverware will be six teams of thecity league . In order to get all si xteams playing in one afternoon, teamswill play under international rules ,will play seven men an a team andplay for only 15 minutes .

Winners of the first two games wil lplay off and the squad that wins tw owill play the top team of the thirdgame .CAMPUS LINEUPS

Lineups for campus squads, as re -leased by Coach Roy Haines, are asfollows . The Varsity aggregation in -eludes Carlyle, Wheeler, Nesbit, Le -them, McKee, Jenson, Morris, Allenand Crosby . The UBC setup has Kerr,Grant, Moon, McDonald, Armour, Bid -die, Wotherspoon, Kabush, Williamso nand Watt . Seven men of each of thesesquads will play and three will b espares .

Both campus teams are favorites totake their preliminaries and the final20-minute tussle is expected to be be-tween the two student teams .

North Shore All-Blacks and Mera-lomas kick off at 2 :45, UBC meetsRowing Club at 3 :05 and Varsity at -tacks Ex-South Burnaby at 3:35. Th efinal trophy frame will begin around4 :10 .

'Bird HoopstersMeet Californi a

After a long period of doubt, it be -gins to look as though the UB CThunderbird basketball team will ac -company the rugger squad when theytravel south to California in March ,

Coach Bob Osborne is going to mak esure that the arrangement is satis-factory with the Berkley squad andthen arrangements will be made fo ra home and home hoop series to tak eplace at the same time as the ruggerinvasion .

The decision was made at the Men' sAthletic Directorate meeting Thurs-day evening. The main reason for th eoriginal idea that basketball shouldbe neglected in the California negotia-tions this year was that the boys hadhad a great many trips this year an dthat it was hard on their studies .

NOBLE PLA NIt was believed, however, that th

e move was a good one in establishingrelations with the southern Univer-sity. Basketball is one of the bigges tgames in the south and a Canadia nteam is always a drawing card .

This will also give local fans thechance to see the operations of asmooth-working club that has thetop team in the southern division .

At present, chances are that th esquad from Berkley will end tho useason on top of their division an dwill then meet the winners of th enorthern division . It is believed tha tthey will be playing a strong OregonState squad for the privilege of goin geast to play in the National finals ,

Although it is not known what kin dof a battle the 'Birds will be ableto give the California quintet, fan sare aured of lots of good basket -ball when the California squad arrives.

FISH AND GAME

A film explaining the training of afalcon, will be shown to the Fish an dGome Club, Monday, 12 :30 p.m., inAggie 100.

The club's executive will also out -line their idea's for a turkey shoot t obe held sometime during the nex t
