Here's How To WinUniversity Debate

Veteran debaters Les Canty andIan Cowan had stiff competition inthe weekly debate of the parliament-ry forum, Thursday. They werearguing against themselves.

Canty and Cowan, not satisfiedwith upholding the affirmative sideof a debate on advertising, also sup-ported the negative.

In supporting the resolution, "thatly necessary function in society", themodern advertising performs a vital-two stressed advertising's contribu-tion to modern life in informing thepublic of modern and current trends.

Upholding the negative side, thetwo charged that modern advertis-ing is the prime cause of the busness cycle and its attendant hard-ships, because it "encourages over-buying and flooding of the market."

Advertising encourages a wrongsense of values, they contended, clueto its constant appeals to individualvanity.

Nine of the blue-suited commissionaire "constables" are on the cam-pus this year to direct traffic andclose the university up at night.RELIEF ROLE

They're here, says John D. Lee,superintendent of buildings andgrounds, not to "police" studentsthemselves, but to relieve traffic jamsthat choke the campus daily.

More than 1500 cars cross theirbeat every day, travelling to and fromlectures.

A lady of the German departineetwas completely confused by the com-missionaires the other day while onher way down the wrong road toBrock Hall, One of the "traffic cops"tried to whistle her to a stop.FIRST TINIE

"I was sure they couldn't mean rne,"she confessed later, "I've never beenwhistled at before.'

So she drove blissfully on.

Only 1339 students at UBC haveSigned up to give their blood to theRed Cross.

Registration for the campaign arebeing taken at booths dotted aboutthe campus this week.

Student nurses appeared in uni-form yesteraay at the university toaid the campaign.

Blood donated to the Red Cross isgiven free to persons in need of itwho cannot afford a transfusion.

All applications must be in by No-vember 1, 1947. Winner is to be an-nounced early in December.

AMS Says "No"To Punsters

The answer is still definitely"NO" regarding the appeal ofthe Joker's Club for new ac-commodation, until they haveproved themselves worthy ofspecial effort on the part ofAMS to find space, accordingto AMS president Grant Liv-ingstone.

On Wednesday, the Jokers foundthemselves unconveniently oustedfrom their club rooms in favor ofthe Fish and Game and Varsity Out-door Clubs.

The Jokers demonstrated theirspirit by piling their old furniture inthe AMS offices, A few relics remainin the but where the once jovialJokers held their meetings and ga-therings, but the AMS offices are nowcleared.

Although an attitude of firmnesshas been expressed on the part ofAMS, Joker president Dick Ellisstated, "I essure your that there areno hard feelings," and concluded, "Ifthe Jokers can demonstrate theirstrength and activities, then I'm surethey will give the same zany lift instudent spirit and be as good for theuniversity this year as they havein the past."

Library To CloseFor Thanksgiving

Like all university departments,the Library will be closed on Satur-day, October 11, and Monday, Octo-ber 13, Thanksgiving Day.

Top English NovelsFeature Of Course

The best English novels of the pasttwo cent HON will be discussed inthe Extension Department's latestcourse.

Nin:•eenth cent ury authors willinclude Dickens, Thackery and Aus-ten. M« -lern novelists will he repro-stinted by Conrad, Hardy, Lewis,Steinbeck, Dos Passos and Joyce.

Clubs RetainFormer Names

Campus "political" clubs hadfailed to comply with AMSregulations ordering them tochange to party names up topress time Thursday, but indi-cations were that most wouldobey the special Student Coun•cil ruling.

Formation of a Labor-ProgressiveParty at UBC will be recommendedto members of the Student CommunistForum by the forum's executive.

A meeting of club executive agreedto present the motion.to the forum'snext meeting in compliance with theAMS request.

Student President Grant Living-stone declared Thursday that all al-terations to club names and constitu-tions undertaken to comply with theorder "must fit the letter and thespirit" of regulations.

BUS SERVICEThe AMS Transportation Com-

mittee has investigated the NewWestminster Bus situation andannounces the following:

While the cost of the serviceIs high we are convinced that itis the best Company can do. Thedecision to be made by the stu-dent is whether or not the speedand comfort of a through serviceIs worth the extra money.

The company will still operatethe service as soon as they havea guarantee of thirty-two passen-gers. Any student who would de-finitely use this bus is advised tocomplete a form available at theAMS office.

Weekend (losingCancels Dance

Brock Hall tea dance planned bythe Women's Undergraduate Societyfor this afternoon has been cancelled.

"Closing of the university for theholiday weekend prompted the de-cision," announced WUS presidentNora Clarke.

The difficulty of moving chairs andtables back into the lounge is ourmain problem, stated Miss Clarkeafter conferring with EUS presidentRon Grantham and social coordinatorBob Bagnall,

SMALL COSTThe party consisting of ten to fif-

teen people was to leave Vancouverearly Saturday morning and returnMonday afternoon. The "voyage"would have taken about three hour'seach way and would have cost con-siderably less than the regular' steam-ship trip by the same route.

The group was not necessarily un-sympathetic with labor unions anddid not wish to be thought of asstrike.-breakers; but they felt that theurgency of 'the visit warranted arightist attitude to the whole affair.

POLICE ESCORTThere will be canes and streamers

and placards for all supporters.At Bellingham the train will be

met by a special police escort for amonster parade through the town, ledby the Varsity band and pipe band.

The train will leave at 3 p.m. fromthe Great Northern station. Gametime is 8 p.m. and trip back will com-mence at 11 p.m.

RESERVED SEATSJerry Macdonald stated that 500

seats have been reserved at the gameto assure an adequate cheer section.He advised anyone who had not al-ready bought a ticket to do so im-mediately, as the tickets are sellingfast.

Train tickets may be purchased atthe AMS office until 4 p.m. Friday,and until train time at the GreatNorthern Station.

Brock Hall SiteFor Totem Poles

Recommendation that UBC's newly-acquired totem poles be placed inthe vicinity of Brock Hall has beensent to Professor F. E. Buck by AMSpresident Grant Livingstone.

The poles were originally to havebeen placed in the botanical gardensbut Livingstone's recommendationwas made on the -grounds that stu-dents activity is concentrated in Ulfvicinity of Brock Hall.

Although their time of arrival isnot known, Ken Caple of the CBChas charge of them until such timeas they can be transported to thecampus.

The poles were a present to UBCfrom the graduating class of 1946-47.

UBC Bicycle ThiefStrikes Again

UBC's bicycle thief struck againthis week, stealing an inner tubefrom student Norm Minty.

Minty reported he left his bicycleoutside the Applied Science build-ing. When he returned two hourslater, an almost new tube from thefront wheel was missing.

NEW UBC POLICECONFUSES 'PROF'

If you've been confused by the small army of uniformed"traffic police" dotting the campus this year, take heart to themuddled case of a professor from the German department.

STUDENT SPEAKERS on Town Meeting of the Air, to be heldin Brock Hall tonight at 8 are shown above. They are, from left,Cliff Greer, Stu Chambers, Perry Millar and Jim Sutherland.They will discuss "How Can Canada Keep University Gradu-ates at Home."

The Jokers Club and the Varsity Outdoor Club plan topitch tents in front of Brock Hall Monday or Tuesday as a pro-test to their recent eviction and lack of clubhouses.

Mass picketing of the AMS officeswill also take place through the weekunder the organization of the Jokersand with the support of the VOC,Communist Forum and various othersympathetic groups.

TRAVEL PROBLEMS LICKEDBY STUDENT "VIKINGS"

PAGE.2 THE DAILY UBYSSEY Friday, October 10, 1947AMIP'

LET'S GO COLLEGIATEIt strikes me that Mr. Prizek in

his column "Small Mercies" is some-what guilty of that philosophic ten-dency, involution. While his argu-ments are sound, he is inclined todrift into that philosophic haze chara-cterized by rather obsecure rational-lization and flowery prose.

Philosophy of freedom, must bethe philosophy of freedom, must beutilitarian (not to be confused withMr. Prizek's usage). It must havesome applications to our everydayexperience and be intelligible to thelayman. The tendency is for the phi-losopher to set himself apart fromthe world, "out on a limb", so tospeak, and from that perch carry onhis profound contemplation, thencecommunicating his discoveries to anexclusively intellectual group iequally profound terms.

This approach is obviously not con-ductive to the evolution of a work-ing philosophy. On the contrary aphilosopher must associate himselfwith society, must himself be a partof it. He must be objective ratherthan subjective, and finally to beable to present his findings in a lucidmanner.

What then is to be our approach toformulating a philosophy of freedom?Without doubt we must approachthe problem in familiar terms; free-dom of the press and religion, eco-nomic freedom, freedom of action,political freedom, etc., in the settingof our society.

In Cenada and the U.S.A., we nomi-nally have freedom of the press. A-part from the libel, copy right, andsecurity laws, any publication can saywhat it pleases. Thus we find largesections of the press war-mongering,preaching racism, and papers in theDeep South condoning and even sup-porting lynching,

Similarly, we are endowed withreligious freedom. As a result, power-ful religious groups can control thethought and education of large sec-tions of the population and becomepowerful instruments of the existinggovernments. Exercising their reli-gious freedom, similar groups in cer-tain "democratic" countries can op-press other religious groups; e.g. theJehovah's Witness fiasco in the seat.

Our system of free enterprise im-plies economic freedom, Yet we findthe majority of the population rele-gated to the position of tools of pro-duction, the workers and labourersto whom the phrase "free enterprise"is as foreign as Timbuktu. We sealarge sections of the population, evenin a time of relative prosperity, suf-fering an extremely low standard ofliving in relation to our potential.Collier's magazine reports a migrantgroup in the States in desperate eco-nomic straits, that is approaching theproportions of the Oklamhoma trek,composed mainly of Mexican andNegro seasonal workers.

The equality of man is implied inour definition of liberty, Yet witnessthe position of negroes in the U.S., orJim Crow in the barber chair, thea-tres and hospitals right in our owncountry. Witness the anti-Semitismbeing disseminated in Alberta P tpresent. Yes, this is freedom—forsome.

There is evidently something wrongwith our whole concept of freedom,Our constitutions are a mockery intheir general forms. If we al .° to callourselves free nations, they must notonly be revised, but applied so as toserve the whole of society ratherthan apart.

Make no mistake. We know themeaning of true freedom. Our degreeof liberty is ramified in our existence.We have no difficulty in definingfreedom when ours is threatened. No,liberty is not an elusory philosophicalterm as we are sometimes led to be-lieve. It is as real and precise as theprinted word.

Just' as autumn has come again, so hasthe football season. The fine crowd thattumbled into the Stadium last Saturday want-ed to show that UBC was ready to welcomePacific North-West Inter-Collegiate footballback to the campus. We wanted. to see justwhat our own Thunderbird squad was cap-able of doing after last year's experience.

Most of us were very favourably im-pressed with the show our boys put on inthat ' contest, and for that reason, UBC'sinterest in the American game should be agreat deal higher this year.

It is to be hoped that this interest willnot lie dormant this weekend when our 'Bird-men travel across the border to Bellinghamwhere they will meet the Western Washingtoncrew. Here is an opportunity for UBC stu-dents to show their pride in the team thatrepresents the Blue and Gold.

Many people were amazed at the marvel-ous spirit that emerged from the comparative-

When I said to Ferguson I might like towrite a column once in a while, he said, "Sure,anytime," the marginal utility of columnshaving risen measurably with the Ubyssey'sarrival at metropolitan stature. "Wheneverthe spirit moves you," he said.

Now I face the typewriter sober and a

little afraid, which is the properly unhappystate for anyone to be in when facing either atypewriter or Life, if he is not reinforcedby spirit—whether it's the rather unpopularinner glow of the Holy Ghost or the equallyancient one still easily obtainable in bottles.

It's the wrong century for the' first andI'm too broke for the second. It doesn't helpanyway, according to statistics in applied

• psychology journals. Caffeine's the thing forheightened mental activity, and it's a wonderadvertising copy-writers don't quote thepsych boys on that.

So far as I know the behaviorists (onedoesn't mention other schools here) aren'tinvestigating the Holy Ghost this year. Clear-ly they have enough problems without the-ology. It may be, however, that a few amongthem are devoting passing attention to advo-cates of the venerable essence under a modernname, but with little hope that they havetheir hands on a promising source of statistics.

Some Arts graduates and other broad-minded persons might accuse them of beingrather narrow about another sort of Trinitytoo: Freud-Jung-Adler. Unkind critics do say,though, that they have grabbed some of theold psychos' ideas, like hardheaded 19th-century businessmen invoking Christianity(or perhaps just selling Bibles) when conven-ient and profitable.

I just missed taking a psych course thisyear, so I'm ready to stand up to Mr. Chantwithout qualms. I only ask that he permita minimal dose of stimulant—caffeine orwhatever the department endorses. Facing

that learned gentleman I don't want to seem

too yung and freudened, as James Joyce oncebravely punned.

Then there's a question of English whichhas been bothering me. (Some scholars sug-gest that Freud is more at home in thatdepartment in any university, so in case of

battle it might be possible to contrive cun-ningly on Anglo-psych conflict. Dr. Sedge-wick would be enchanted.)

I was a little afraid six paragraphs earlier,but am not so now, although I want to talkof grammarians and they do often go in pairs,like Death in the Hemingway story (Re-member Kilimanjaro; in pairs on bicycles.Irrelevant, though.) Though they go in pairs,

ly small section of the grandstand that seated(part of the time!) the cheerleaders, band,and supporters of the College of Puget Soundat last week's battle.

There is very little reason why UBCshould not be able to make just as great animpression on our Southern friends. Thotrain that is going down on Saturday after-noon is being chartered specially so that theThunderbirds will have a cheering section toback them up.

We've all heard the stories that tell usAmericans really know how to put collegespirit into a football game. Let's jump aboardthat train in great quantities and hop downto Bellingham. It should be fun to show thatwe're proud of our Birdmen and that wehave that college spirit. It only takes a crowd,a lot of cheering, and two great teams fightingit out under the lights.

Let's go collegiate.

I'm alone but unafraid, Forester and Stead-man, Mawdsley and Leeming, and manyothers whose names are easily found in thecard index under ENGLISH—Grammar.

Actually I believe there is somethingpathetic in their joining forces: it's morethan likely for practical reasons, to double-check each other's syntax. Their professionalassociation, it is reported, has urged suchcollaboration since the unhappy day a gram-marian wrote: "A preposition is a poor wordto end a sentence with."

Less biting critics of the species, however,point to the pleasing esthetic effect of couplednames. Well: Forester and Steadman, Mawds-ley and Leeming. Yes, observe the classicsuccession of accented and unaccented syl-lables, the subtle alliteration. Dandada danda,dandada danda, an English 100 instructorwould probably intone. If imaginative, whichis possible, he might burst into song:

Foerster and Steadman,Mawdsley and Leeming!Would you get ahead, man,Where tyros are teeming?Like anvil and hammerAre B.A. and grammar.

Sound advice, too. Men who can writeand talk good, slick university-level Englishare the ones they want in progressive corpor-ations these days. Writing and Thinking,that's the ticket. Get those tabulated errorsdown pat, fella; ten to one the steno hasn'theard of them.

The two text-writing teams I have men-tioned, only because they are the more famil-iar, of course did their respective jobs in aspirit of enthusiasm, bravely attacking theunsolved problem of producing a perfectEnglish grammar. The Dean of Women willendorse that statement. Just as students oftenfind pleasure — often a surprise to them-selves—in the disinterested mastery of Eng-lish, so grammarians get a kick out of the re-analysis and restatement of the structure oftheir curious and vexing mother-tongue.

Sometimes language experts—philolog-ists especially—may seem to take words astheir own, as psychologists may do with ourprivate neuron paths, but they can be for-given.

In a time when little remains certain,when the past decade is chaos and next yearmay exis only in calendars, they are rightto clutch at the sureness of a noun clause, thedignity of the long life and death of a word,the unchallengable factuality of statistics onthe salivation of laboratory-starved dogs.

Famed Geographer GivesLecture Series At UBC

TELL US AN' UDDER

By TED RASHLEIGH

No exception to the general rule that famous people aredifficult to contact is Dr. Jasper H. Stembridge, internationally-known geographer and educator who is at the University ofB.C. for a special series of lectures this year.

Dr. Stembridge has been rather* wary of everything even resembling areporter since he arrived in CanadaSeptember 7.PREPARATION

The reason for this self-imposedseclusion is of a practical nature. Atpresent he is confiring his activitiesto preparing lectures for third andfourth year geography students, andgetting used to his new environment.

However, when finally cornered bythis eager reporter, Dr. Stembridgetook his defeat philosophically andsettled down to answer questions.SECOND TRIP

This is Dr. Stembridge's second tripto Canada. He was here in 1939, whenhe made a five-month lecture tourthrough Canada. The result of thistrip was a book entitled "A Portraitof Canada".

"A Portrait of Canada" is one oftwenty books which Dr. Stembridgehas written during the past fifteenyears. Up to date, well over a millioncopies of these books have beenbought.

At the present time he feels thatCanada has a vital part to play as alink between England and the Unit-ed States. Economically and spiritu-ally tied to both of these countries.Canada is better able to understandand appreciate their peculiarities.FORTY NO LESS

As for Canada itself, Dr. .Stem-bridge finds it very much to his lik-ing. Our cigerettes are somewhatstronger than those he is used to, hesays, but he manages to smoke aboutforty during the course of a day.

Canada's food made the greatest im-pression on him, however. "I getmore meat here at one meal," he says,"than I would get in a whole weekat home".

A graduate of Cambridge, Dr.Stembridge is at present a Fellow ofthe Royal Geographical Society andgeographical editor of the Oxford Un-iversity Press. For more than twenty

years he has been a well-known fig-

ure in British eclucatonal circles aslecturer and author. His speciality isthe training of geography teachers.UNDERSTANDING

Geography, he feels, is becoming anincreasingly important subject aspeople become more concious of theworld about them. An understanding.of the geographical conditions of suchcountries as Russia would help us toappreciate their views more fully.

At UBC, Dr. Stembridge's officialtitle is that of "Visiting Professor andSpecial Lecturer." As soon as he iscertain that his lectures are runningsmoothly he will probably find timeto give talks to different groups abouttown.

Although the game is one of the

exhibition variety it should be one

of the finest of the season. Wit.)student support better than it h. .sever been before for an out of towncontest, the *Birds will has e anadded incentive to turn the tableson the haughty Vikings,

Last season the Western Washingtongang rather severely trounced theUBC gladiators—but then who didn't?For the records, the score last seasonwas 25-0. But the 'Birds proved lastSaturday that any similarity betweenthe Kabatmen of 1946 and the Kabat-men of 1947 is strictly coincidental.

Coach "Lappy" Lappenbusch's Vik-ings are rated slight favorites for tomorrow's contest, but as CPS coachPatrick stated last weekend to Kabat,"If.your line and backfield ever gettogether .. "

And for the past week the Thunder-birds have been practising co-ordina-tion and timing until, today, theyare as smooth as a cherub's cheek,

Basketball Coach, Bob Osborne an-nounced last night that he had re-ceived an offer front a touring hoopclub known as "The "AU-American"Professional Basketball Club to playan exhibition game in Vancouversometime in February.

Sparkplug of the "All-American"is the "Crown Prince of Basketball,Bob Karsten, who performs melonmagic on the court with the ease ofa trained seal.

Western Washington College of-ficials have sent word up that 500

seats have been reserved for UBCrooters. However don't fear the pos..sibility of not getting a pew. They

can accommodate every B.C. fan whogoes down; moreover all varsity fol-

One of the high-lights of the jour-ney will be the resuts of the decora-tive effort's of the Mamooks. Gather-ing their paint pots and brushes,several loyal Mamookians will trotdown to the special invasion traintomorrow morning to glorify the carswith Gold and Blue.

As far as the Great Northern of-ficials know right now, only the carswill be adorned. Little do they realizethe "do or die" spirit of our Mamooks,who, after splashing goo on everycar, will undoubtedly view the comparatively sombre power unit with asad eyes. Think of it, a gorgeous gold-en engine dragging a vividly emblaz-oned string of cars; the whole cortegegleaming in the sun, "ThunderbirdSpecial"!

Don't be afraid that you won't get

a seat on the train, clear reader. TheMamooks have signified their inten-tion to supply a seat for everyone in-

tending to go, in a decorated car.

UBC's perennial Frosh-Soph casabatilt which was postponed from lastFriday, is scheduled to be staged inthe gym at noon today.

Game time is 12:30 and the sceneof battle is the Gym. May the bet•ter men win.
