What is Homecoming? Homecoming is when :The grads come, back to their Alma Mater and feel very

good about seeing so many of their old classmates lookin golder than they do .

The old grads look at the current undergrads and wonde rif the Bursar isn't robbing the cradle .

They take a closer look at the female undergrads and de -aide that the Bursar knows what he's doing .

One grad meets another grad that he hasn't seen for 2 0years and decides he doesn't like the look of him now an ymore than he did then . He greets him enthusiastically and theystand around trying to recall something they had in commo nas students. This turns out to be the first grad's wife.

The more sentimental grads plod. about the campus ,through the dead leaves, wallowing in the melancholy of enter-ing the autumn of their lives. They look at the young, eagerfaces about them and wonder what trials, what heartachesawait this feckless youth. They are consoled by the thought ofall this innocence coming a cropper .

iust as . all roads lead to Rome, for women students all courses

The .grad is surprised to see that a classmate—the goof withthe glasses—is now a member of the Faculty, and the characte rwho seemed to fit in least with college life has made the colleg ehis life. Alma Mater, the Foster Mother, gives most of herbrood away to the world, but keeps the ungainly one, thefunny one, as her own. .

Best of all, for the freshman, hard-pressed by the suddenneed to think for himself, Homecoming proves that graduatio n

is not, after all, an illusion sustained by the University for th e

purpose of extorting fees . Here is the paunchy evidence, th ebalding proof that there is a life after the death of final exams.

Homecoming is reunion, a warm and gentle time . It's good

to come home and see the latest additions to the family . Sayhello, dear, to your old Uncle Jabez .

Varsity played a(Canadian football) game againstthe"University of Alberta at oldAthletic Park . It was an evenin ggame and the fog really rolled in.

Somewhere on the University

— Len Norris

By SILL DUNIORD

It takes grads as well a sgridders to make Homecoming .And to help build a traditionand a greater university . Andthe UBC Alumni Associationhas kept pace with the growthof the youngish UBC .

Since the war when Fran kTurner became the first full -time secretary, it boomed, wa sblessed with some fine presi-dents and executives . It played ,and paid, an increasingly im-portant role in university i at-fairs .

Homecoming is the big day ,the focal point, but the ideagoes the year around, .or should .

Homecoming or the gradsthis year means a third returnto the campus . for the new sec-retary of the grad group .

Art Sager, who brings a grea tbackground and sound connec-tions to the job, came to Varsitywith the Class of 38 . He returnedin 1945 as public relations of-ficer. Now he's back in '54 . Andhe has done a few things in th eintervals .8AW THE WORL D

For example, the week aftergraduation he set off to see theworld as a deck hand on a freigh-ter. He stopped off in Englan dand was an elevator boy unti lone of the tenants became in-terested in him and gave him ajob. Theft tenant was merely th eeditor of a Londpn daily . So hebecame a reporter .

of British' Coumbia campusthere's a pair of royal feettrudging back and forth be-tween clases in a pair of whitebuck oxfords. The lovely mon-arch who wears them Is yet tobe chosen and crowned, bu tshe's fated to -be UBC's 195 4Homecoming Queen and willreign over a week of excitingfestivities .

Campus Groups are alreadyseeeking out their pretties tmembers who will appear at atea where they will be intro-duced to the queen contestjudges, Mrs . Frank M. Ross ,winner of 'the 1954 Great Trek-ker award, and Dean Blythe A .Eagles the Faculty of Agricul -ture. The candidates will als obe presented to the studen t

lutmni at . the Oct . 30between the

ay; ,pa,, .,w.,and CPS Loggers .The names of the Homecom-

ing Queen and hr two prin-cesses will 'be announced in theNov. 2 Ubyssey . She will ap-pear at a number of events, in-cluding the Thursday noon con-cert by the Vancouver Sym-phony orchestra, the Fridaynoon pep meet, the Saturdaynoon Homecoming parad ethrough downtown Vancouver ,the football game on Saturdayafternoon and the Homecomingball Saturday night . She wil lreceive her crown from Univer-sity President Norman A. M.MacKenzie at the ball .

Anne Cassady, third-year bio.logy, is chairman of the queencommittee .

So to the line of waitin galums, reminiscent of countless .queues I have known that haveled- me on shuffling feet u pto a ticket booth for a braceof Players' Club tickets, a ren-dezvous with a Red Cross bloodbottle, or a moment of glory a sa diploma was thrust in myhands. I will see familiar facesin the line and will fight a nimpulse to compare my increas-ing girth and decreasing hair-line with my contemporaries .

Armed with tickets and aprogram I will leave the Home-coming officials and follow th ecrowd to the Cafeteria wherea box lunch is waiting. Memor -ies descend on me scented wit h

"They realize that their dona-tions - large and small . godirectly to the University for th eadvancement of higher educationin B . C . "

Mr. Roberts added that "th ebusiness community in generalis also increasingly aware of th efact that the expansion of Uni-versity service will depend, to avery large degree, upon thei rcontinuing help and cooperation .The "friends" of U .H.C. contri-buted most generously in 1954 ."

The success and growing im-portance of the DevelopmentFund can be shown by the follow-ing figures:

Alumni donors have steadil yincreased as well from 1400 in1949 to over 2300 in 1954 . It isexpected that participation bygraduates and former studentswill increase tremendously in the'next year or two, as the Fun dhas now become established asthe major source of outsideassistance for the University .

McGill University, foster-par-ent of. U.B.C., now receivesannual contribitlons from 40 percent of its former students .U.H.C . Fund Directors are con-fident that the "Tuum Est "spirit among its own "family "will not allow this achievemen tto go unchallenged.

All monies raised by theAssociation's• annual progra mgo directly to essential and worth -while projects which do notn o r m a l l y receive assistanc ethrough government grants .

Onc of the most important ob-jectives of the 1954 and pre -

vioua campaigns are the regiona lscholarships by which deservin gand top-notch high school grad-uates-from all over the prov-ince--are assisted in their firs tyear on the campus . Thesescholarships are valued at $250 .It is worth noting that, withou tthese scholarships, many recipi-ents would not attend theUniversity .

The Home Management Houseis now on the drawing boards fo rearly construction . This badlyneeded structure might havebeen delayed for years had it notbeen for the Fund ,

The Palmer Memorial, th elibrary, playing fields, the KnoxMemorial, the President's Fun d(for general purposes), otherscholarships are among the manyobjectives of the Fund in mbstrecent campaigns .

A few years ago, Dr . NormanMacKenzie, summerized the rol eof the U .B.C. Development Fpnd(then called the Alumni-U.B.C.Development Fund) :

"A modern university hasmany legitimate needs whic hcan not be met with funds ob-tained by government appropria-tion. Opportunities for usefulnes sare always waiting for adequatefinancial support .

While Stewart has been espe-cially valuable on defense, th ereal surprise has been third-year law student Ted Duneslwho played all his previous balljunior-style with VancouverBlue Bombers. 'Ted is one'ofthe best kickers in the Confer-ence, fairly fast and has provedthe best passer on the squad .

Another pleasant surprise t oCoryell, assistant coach DickMitchell and line coach BobHughes has been John Newton ,better known as a winger onAlbert Laithwaite'9 rugby team .

Most consistent ground-gaineron Birds is Jim Boulding, tiepowerful 195-lb . three year vet-eran from Penticton . Sensation-al his first year with UBC, bigJim was hit hard with kne einjuries last season„ slowed upconsiderably and Coryell wasset to move him to centre thisyear before he started to tearlines apart in training camp .

Up front, Dick Mitchell's lineaverages 191 lbs. and lacks theexperience and depth of lastyear. Scrappy 180-lb. RonStewart has been taking car eof most the duties at centreafter promising Blue Bombergrad Ernie Lazaretto was de-clared ineligible .

Tuum Est wins the day

Thunderbird captain and All-Conference choice Bob Bradyleads the guards .

Second-year man Ernie Ny-haug, 205-lbs . of brawn, takescare of the other guard slot .

Birds are wei stocked withends . Outstanding are Buzz

All through lifer way

But likeable Don I . HOPINGfor a win, as will be every loyalalum who at one time has sa tin not-so-sweet, touchdown-lesssorrow in the east stands and, a she took another pull on his well -worn flank, uttered the immorta lwords akin to both Brooklyn an dUBC : "Wait till next year. "

Every football year at UBCtruly is a "Wait till next season"year as Birds are in the fortu-nate position of having no plac eto go but up .

Things could be worse .While Coryell is not exactl y

sitting around waiting till nex tyear, he has the consolation o fknowing that he has a teamwhich is building and is boundto improve in the next few years .

Under the leadership of th eUniversity of Washington grad ,UBC boasts for the first time i nmemory a Jayvee squad . Over60 players turned out to firstpractices and Don had the un-enviable chore of having ' to dropsome players because of lack of Hudson, Charlie James, Gar yfacilities to handle them . Taylor and Dave Stowe . Hud-

son and Taylor are two convert-ed basketball players, Buzz inhis second year under Coryel land pass-catching Taylor in hi sfirst .

Coryell has a young team(average age-21), a potentiall ygood 'team, but like most UBC 1 CONSENSUS :football teams, relatively inex- UBC: End, good ; tackle, weak ;perienced .
