MANAGER SYSTEM WILL COME UP

FOR RE-DISCUSSION WEDNESDAY

Students Approve Minor Recommendations With Slight Changes

After two hours of discussion, the fate of the proposed Business Mau •agar system had not been decided by Friday's Alma Mater meeting, Themeeting had passed a motion containing the last requirements of the bondissue for the gymnasium, had adopted, with a few changes, those clausesof the Finance Committee's report which the Students' Council had endorsed ,and had proceeded to discuss the Business Manager plan . As the discussionseemed likely to continuo indefinitely, and as it was evident that the mem •hers of the Alma Mater Society required more time to consider the recom-

mendations in the light of the arguemeets, pro and con, presented by thevarious speakers, the president sug-gested a motion of adjournment tin•til Wednesday, February N. This wasmade and carried.

ANNUAL SCIENCE FROLi CPROVES MARKED SUCCESS

"Every dance better than the last 'but the last dance best of all" wa sthe verdict of participants who at-tended the tenth annual Science Bal lat Lester Court, Friday night.

Everything was carried out in adistinctly scientific manner. Althoug hthe lighting might be described asartistic, the whirling neon gas il-lumination portrayed the triumph o fscience . Science pennants decoratedthe hall, and engineers of all descrip-tions with their partners permeate dthe crowd of dancers who throngedto Lester Court . Even the music ren-dered by Garden's orchestr a was typ-ical of science, including such num-bers us, "The Gang's Ali Here," "Mr .Noah," "Lonesome In the Moonlight, "and "I Can't Give You Anything Bu tLove . "

The usual supper table crush waseliminated by the organization of ahuge "'brand line" led by Dean an dMrs. It . W. Brock, to the tune of"Jingle Hells" and other universit yfavourites .

PROFESSOR S . E. BECKETT

The funeral was held yester-day at Ocean View Burial Par kof the late Professor Samuel E .Beckett, who passed away a tthe General Hospital on the af-ternoon of Friday, February 16 ,the victim of a sudden an dviolent attack of pneumonia th efirst symptoms of which ap•peered on the previous Satur-day. Rev. E. McGougan was i ncharge of the service and thehonorary pallbearers Include dChancellor ,R. E. MoKeohnle ,President K' ttinok, Principal J .G . Brown representing the Pres.bytery and Mr. D. A. McGrego rrepresenting the Queen's Alum-ni . The active pallbearers wer eProf . H . F. Angus, Dr. G. M.Weir, Dean Buchanan, Dr. W.N. Sage, Mr. James Hope an dMr. Alan Bowles .

The University of BritishColumbia has sustained a grea tlose In the death of Professo rBeckett. Mr. Beckett, who re-celved his M .A. degree fromQueen's University in 1905 ,joined the staff of the Depart-ment of Economics In th eautumn of 1920 and threw him -self heart and soul into his newcareer. One winter and severa lsummers were spent at the Uni .versity of Chicago in prepar-ation for the Ph .D. degree . Th esubjects which especially at-tracted Mr. Beckett were Publi cFinance and Sociology and hi slectures on these topics werewidely attended . Throughout hi sUniversity work Mr. Becket twon the respect )and affection o fhis students and colleagues.

But no branch of work wa sneglected. During the summe rof 1922. Mr. Beckett was em-ployed to advise on the prov-incial taxation at Victoria, an dduring the negotiations preced-ing amalgamation Mr . Beckettwas frequently consulted onmatters of municipal finance b ythe Corporation of Point Grey .

Mr . Beckett's connection withhis Church remained close andcordial . During his residenc eIn Winnipeg, Maritoba, Mr .Beckett was Assistant Pastor t oDr. Duval of Knox Church ; an dwas a member of the Sessio nof Chalmers United Church i nVancouver ,

Mr. Beckett's most recen twork at the University con .listed In preparing plans for adiploma in Social Service .

With the first issue of the "Varsi-ty" under the new editor, R. H. C .Mitchell, B .A., student opinion for along time dormant, suddenly burstflame. With the first issue, the pape rwas eagerly read by hundreds of th estudents, but almost immediately criesof "No News," "Bunk," etc. wereheard, and students of the Denta lCollege made a huge bonfire on th ecampus, using for fuel the copies o fthe strikebreaking "Varsity." It isrumored that this line of action is tobe continued as long as the "Varsity "is published under the new editor . Inretaliation, however, students of Th eSchool of Practical Science, who areopposed to the former editor, burnedall copies of the Toronto EveningTelegram that they could lay thei rhands on, and two great fires blaze don the campus .

When newsboys appeared in Queen' sPark selling the "Telegram containingthe Adversity," police officers chase dthem off. Col. A. P. Le Pan, officer i ncharge of the force, when he heard o fthis incident, Immediately issued or-ders for the boy a to be left alone .

The Toronto Campus on the whol eseems to bo swinging behind L. J .Ryan, the deposed editor, and if feel-ing becomes much stronger, will prob-ebly result in several clashes betwee noeposing forces .

Editor's Resignation PrecipitatesFight

It appears that the editorials onpetting were the culmination of aseries of news items and editorial sthat for some time previously ha dbeen causing complaints to pour I nfrom the students . At first the Join tExecutive was loath to Interfere wit hthe policy of the "Varsity," but s emuch had feeling was bernnting pre -

asked the editor to discontinue th eharmful line of action that he hadbeen taking. The editor readilyagreed to this, but complaints wer estill received on points which ha dnot been covered by the agreement .Thinking it unwise to interfer eagain, the Joint Executive this tim e

j supported the editor in his actions .The tone of the paper, however, didnot improve, even after this support ,

' and vulgarity frequently character -' ized the feature articles, according t oofficials .

Then, early in this year, the "pet-ing" editorials appeared, bringing t oa climax the events of the pas tmonths. As soon as these editorial sappeared, the Board of Governors im-mediately requested that. the JointExecutive dismiss the editor, Thi sline of action appeared rather drasti cto the Executive, and it refused toact in this respect., but instead, In-vited the editor and six subeditor sto It conference.

In addition a team of pickeddebaters accepted an invitation t otour England and Wales. Thiscovered three months and was thefirst occasion on which a Canadia nteam had ever visited the OldCountry, Following this success ateam invaded the United States an dan Australian squad contested I nWestern Canada . A complete Sched-ule of Inter-university debating hasbeen drafted covering the years 1929-30 .31 ,

In the first quarter the teams wereevenly matched . Both sides wereright on this spot and neither side ha dpossession of the ball long enough todo any damage. The only score o fthe period was a free shot by Thelm aMahon .

The second period was much thesame as the first. Jean Whyte openedthe score for Varsity by a nea tbasket, Alter a few minutes of bar dplaying, eraloma ran in two basket',to make the score 4. 8 . Rene Harrillmoored on a fast pass from Thelm aMahon to make the count 6.4 atquarter time ,

In the third quarter Meralomas gotgoing in earnest. The blue and golteam weakened and lost control ofthe ball for a time .'Meralomas scorea basket and Rene Harris chalked uptwo free shots to make the score 7 . 6in Varsity's favor. Meralomas re-taliated by three baskets in quic ksuccession and at halt time they hada 10 .7 lead .., .tn the last period Varsity camirlback with renewed vigor, determinedto win.

Holding the Moralomas to a f,-nscore, Varsity ' s Second CanadianRugby team brought surprise o nSaturday to a squad which claims t obe of Big Four calibre. The newmachine of the students, formed ofhighly enthusiastic fans, is probabl ythe most promleing outfit which ha sworn second team colors for U.S. C .In the Canadian code .

Play was even in the first quarteruntil Meralomas scored in the lastten seconds. They had kicked be-hind the touch line and Paulson wasdropped when he attempted to carrythe ball into neutral ground. Thesecond quarter was unexciting a sneither team could break away an dhalf-time came with the score stillat 1-0 against Varsity .

When the teams returned, the su-periority of the Slue and Gold lin etold on the weaker opposition of th eathletic club . Consistent gains brough tthe college to the scoring point bu tthe Inexperienced backfield failed t otake advantage of their situations .

NORSE SENSE AND FINANC EShould we abolish the present financial system in favour of a

Business iifanagor who would unify and co-ordinate the sources o frevenue and regulate their expenditure, is the question which perturbs 'the Alma Mater Society .

At the meeting on Friday Messrs . MacDonald and Munn, mein -

bore of the Students' Council, declared themselves against the pro-

posed change. In effect they stated that the existing system is satis-faetory and adequate . But is it ? Both contend that former treasurers

were the victims of a faulty method which, though sufficient in the in -

fancy of the University, is unsuitable at this time . Now the records ar e

being more properly kept ; now there is a curator whose work is wel l

organized ; therefore they believe the failings of the old way have beenovercome. Is this so !

The Alma Mater Society lacks money, How often we read tha tthe Council found it impossible to do this or that "owing to financia lstringency! " How galling that phrase is to those affected ! Unti lmeans of augmenting our funds are discovered we must in the mean -time exercise cheese-paring economy . And a Business Manager whoactually holds the purse strings of a network of groups and organiz-ations is the man to bring it about !

Objection to paying the Manager for his services has been raised ,Remuneration, we submit, is not a new practice : the curator appointed

Mist term is paid ; and the business staff of the Publications Board re-ceive commissions.

Some-one argued that the ablest students would run for positionson the Council and that, consequently, the Business Manager woul dhave to be chosen from among a greatly reduced member of eligibl epersons . Not necessarily ; for, by the simple expedient of the retir-ing Council selecting the Business Manager of the next year beforethe council elections in March this difficulty would be obviated .

The treasureship of the A . M. S. is an elective office . It is notunreasonable to suppose that because of great popularity a studen twholly unfitted for this position might be chosen . by the voters, Suchcould not occur if the Manager system were to be adopted . The Stu-dents ' Council, which is better fitted to judge the work of a . mansuitable for the job than the members of the society, would select th eperson whom they believe most capable . Thus merit would tend t obe the sole standard in this mode of appointment ,

At present the Publications Board and the Men 's Unclergrad hav ea large measure of command over their finances . Why this shouldbe we are not certain ; but we are sure of this, that the Board woul dwelcome the Manager system even at the expense of losing some o fthe control it enjoys .

Unlike most manufacturing establishments, this educational mil lis subject to the economic law of increasing rather than decreasin gcosts. Our expenses mount, rapidly with the growing hordes o fyouth hungering for knowledge and keen for sport . All the book -keept'rS in the w( p rl(1 cannot hail) 114 ; they work tvith figures after

the money 11114 liven s p ent, What we need is

who ►will ac tas a centralized guiding

to cheek the spending anti to ('nceurng ethe making of revenue ,

The :Manager System i4 ilse(I in most :1nu'rican I'nivtu'siti's. I tis not something that is untried or radical . Its coining here at som enot-distant date is inevitable. Just as we have outgrown our pas tsystem, so we will outgroie , the present, one and turn to seek a newone-'-which would doubtless be the Manager plan . Therefore, withan eye to the future, we should legislate to save probable trouble, an dmeanwhile, gain thereby the undeniable benefits of the scheme .

Editor of Ubyssey ,Dear Sir :

To clear up much of the misunder-standing which apparently exlMts .

The Finance Committee t%UM appoin-ted to further the work of the previou sCommittee who recommended that w ulook Into the matter of "Business Mann-er" arnongst others as a paid umpl. .yoe.

1Ve have gone Into (hie In great detail ,and all our work had this thought buc kof R . we have been Impartial, honest 1111(eonsclentlous in this work of huntin gfor a solution to the existing problem .We have been acmime! of "dumping t oa hasty l'utll'Iusinii, " sUeh le not the ease,nil tvr bawl' Spent he mur'h time UN wa Nat our (Mammal on the question and w elur e cuulldent ht ln-esenthig the mnnugu rsystem wit Ii the iitiMiii.'ss (a1111 el' to th ehead we uro giving you it solutlun whic hwill suit our ptu'tleulur needs, and on ewhich we van handle, and frrthermor .

However, I mus tfirst may that after what perspeetivo w ehave gained by our ;tummy, We are sur ethat we have felled Mentally It we do no thave this system approved of, and If suc his the case a new Finance t'ntnmltte unhuuld be appointed immediately to lookInto the nutter again and bring In fur-ther recommendations.

This pr'upoeal has had three forerun-ners : (1) In 1928 a Junior Member wattsInstalled to give some permanency t othe Students' Council by having one ex-perienced executive aluo to lessen theburden of the President by handling ofdetails other than (Wanda .

(2) In 1928 It was decided to makea member of the third year the Treasur-er to further Mauro that some memberof Council be a trained executive.

(3) In 1928 It was decided to pay aman to take charge of the athletic equip •most primarily .

CURATOR IS PAID. WHY NOTTRANSFER THIS ?

The latter has been a successful ven-ture according to the various membersof the Alma Mater Society who have in-timate knowledge of the same. Why notappl y this same sum to a Business Man-ager and he will cover the work whichthe Curator Is now paid for, namely theresponsibility, and he can look after th edetails of finance which will lessen th ework of the President ; besides he will un =questionably save the University man ytimes the money paid In his salary .

In making this survey we have stum-bled on many Items which have cost th eUniversity many mis-eptnt dollars, andthat wan only incidental, it was not th emain thing we were looking for . To youpeople who claim that the present eye -torn hue not been given a chance I woul dlike you to look back at some oC th eexecutives we have had on Council, me nand women who were brilliant and a sexperienced exoeuttven ,An we can eve rhope for, furtherfore they had maturit yand all that goes with It . They hav eImproved the system Mt they passe dthrough these offices yet we find thi shorrible, iinbustnosslIku state of affair : .What In the answer? Mine is that th ework on (.'uuncil Is so great that th emembers have not a chance to look Int othings, to think them over slowly an dcarefully and get them In the prope rperspeetivo . Everything Is too close, an ddemands Inlme(1htt .' at tontlon . There i snet the provdelon for trained executives,that there should be . There is not theencouragement for miner executives t o(lo the routine work . Hence the Ny'stemof finance should be tightened .

PRESENT SYSTEM LACK SCENTRALIZED GUIDANC E

There le no doubt that the Presiden tas we have the position now Is over bur-dened with details, and as the Institutio ngrows the greater his burden will be. Thepresent system Is Inadequate for a Unl-verelty of our size . With not one posi-tion open for other than popular vot eunder the present system

iongas the present system exists nd a

sthere wil l

always be the cry that we cannot ge ttile details and the routine work done.The members of Council are doing muchwork that should be done by minor ex-ecutives, for further proof of "Lack o fCo-operation" in finance one has but t oconsider the purchasing In the past . The"Lack of Permanency' can best be shownby the way of selecting most executive sby popular vote . "The Lack of Rosponsl-blltty" is best shown by the attitude o fminor executives . Further, no club ororganization has been charged with ex-penditure or credited with receipts inthe past, Regarding the lack of "Centra-lized Oulding Force" In matters of fin-ance, It Is our opinion that at presen twe have no one person who has arrange-ment of null financial matters, agreements ,contracts, and at the same time the do -tailed knowledge of the books.

Under the present system a thing ofvital Importance lm, that at Present, whe nthe new executive of Students' Counci lcomes in, In the Fall, It Is very green ,and before Its members have found thei rfeet and become accustomed to thei rduties they spend the bulk of the mon-ey. 1Fhey apportion the amounts t oBudgets, buy new equipment, etc .

MORE DETAIL NECESSARYThe Publications get their grant an d

they dispose of It at their dlscretlon, mak-ing up the deficit with advertising . TheMen's Undergraduate Society gets thei rloan and they have their own bank ac -count and ra'ry on their own financing.Needless to nary thin Is not to gain great-er efficiency merely that there Is to omuch detail connected therewith to per-mit Council to handle it . These twoitems run into an appreciable amount .Furthermore, the Alma Mater Society islegally liable for any debts which the ycontract, After the Budgeting the othe rorganisations pasts matters pertaining t ofinance with the underlying attitude un-less It Is out of the question to give I ta (thance . Most of these are presente dthat day hence It Is a snap judgment . Afew hours later they are taken Into Coen -ell by the President of that organization .He probably le the only person presen twho has ever heard about the matter ,and he probably has heard nett side only ,hence is biased or at least hots grea tronfldenc•' In the 1+'issirtg of the Item .And the otln.i'n must raise ,IJeetiens o rrender iu'It;ment tvlthotit chiutce tomall) think it out .

Manager System Unnecessary,

Is Claim

Editor of Ubyssey .Dear Sir :

May we take this opportunity t opresent, as concisely as possible, ourcriticisms of the proposed ManagerPlan of the Finance Committee . Thisplan is modeled after that of otheruniversities with far larger studen tbodies than; ours, with much morebusiness detail to be dealt with, andwith sufficiently large funds to pa ya man of the necessary ability t ohandle such a position .

The great difference between theproposed Manager Plan and that i nother universities is, that one pla nemploys an experienced graduate o nwhose advice the Council can relyritith good faith, the other mitten -tines an undergraduate with prob-ably no more experience than thatalready possessed by the membersof Council themselves, All executiveheads are undergraduates giving thei rspare time freely, The BusinessManager is to be paid for his sparetime .

Under the proposed plan the Busi-ness Manager is head of a system i nwhich the treasurer keeps the books ,and the curator handles the auto

Ford Madox Ford, Conrad' scollaborator has just published anovel which is the result of a pro-ject which the author originallyplanned with Joseph Conrad, hu twhich was interrupted by the war .The book A Little Less Than Clod sis a historical novel that has fo rits 'background the Napoleoni cepoch and as central figure Mar -shall Noy .

THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBI A

IIowever, the book does give an interesting survey of its subject ,and supplies much food for thought

"In the first place, " say the authors in their opening chapter ,"he (tire plain reader) must admit that what is sailed our commo nintelligence is the mind in its least active state : that poetry ob-viously demands a more vigorous imaginative effort than the plai nreader has been willing to apply to it ; and that, if anthologies com-piled to refresh tired minds have indulged his lazy reading habits ,the poet eon 1)e excused for using exceptional means to make hi mdo justit'e to his poems, even for inventing a new kind of poem i nthis end," This seems reasonable enough. An example of a no wkind of poem is given . It is E. E . Cummings' 'Sunset.' — one ofhis "earlier and simpler " ones. There are no capitals at the be -ginning of the irregularly spaced lines, there is no obvious gram-mar, no punctuation. One can make little sense of the poem . Inthe course of a lengthy discussion t(ll is explained and rather abeautiful 'formal' version built up. Mt'. Cummings' typographymust be closely studied in order to be understood . 'Sunset' doesnot illustrate all its peculiarities, IIis general idea—to use mor esuggestion and fewer over-worked phrases—is good, but he is tooextreme,

The advantages of the skeleton form are that the use of stal eplu'IJNe0I0g"y is avoided and that the reader is forced to use his ow nimagination and poetic instincts in order to reconstruct the poe mfor himself . '1'11e disadvantages are that it offers opportunities fo r

charlatanry (imagine the poo rreader puzzling over a jumble ofwords that were never intende dto be related or to suggestsense!), find that only a few ofthe highly intelligent would b eable to slake much out of suchfragments. If they became com-mon the reading of poetry wouldbecome a difficult intellectua lexercise, Persons who feel theneed of this should study logicand higher mathematics wit hliberal doses of cross word puzz-les and acrostics for relaxation .The object of serious poetry isnot to puzzle but to give thereader something of what goe son in the poet's mind. To dothis the poet does his best t omake language an intelligibl einstrument for the expressions o fhis thoughts and feeliligs and inso doing need not pay strict at-tention to grammar and logic .Hens' , his work is not, prose, bu t► na're rin)eii'nl, more suggestive ,I('~

LITERARY SUPPLEMENT TO THE UBYSSEY

Issued whenever the Muse visits the University o f

British Columbia .

"WHATSOEVER YE SOW "The agonies of travnil are over, and n new befell of "brain -

children" is hutehe(I out, For the third time inn year this has

happened and for the third time, only after almost super-huma n

efforts on the part of the editor to procure entltril ► IItiu1IM . It is udisgl'aeeflil situation, but the tn('t relllliiiis, 'hilt out oI' over fifteen

hundred so-called students of the I'nivereity only n mere half doze nshow the slightest interest in the Supplement, Whet the rem-to n

for this almost universal apathy in the University' The student s

in the faetllties of *lell('e ri g id of Agl'iellltlll't', its it rule, are no t

interested in literature as an art ; ,that is perhaps only naturni, bu t

for the Arts students them' is no excuse . Everyone of you has tokenEnglish 2b so you are all familiar with the fundamentals of eompo-

sition. That is one of the two prerequisites necessary for literarycomposition . The other is imagination . This latter, on occasion ,may even be partially dispensed with. But it is evident that yo upossess the required amount of imagination through the feet that .you have all passed the freshmen ('Iiristmns exams. Thus possessing

the two most important requirements of the writer, why have onlysix of you contributed to this supplement?? The only conclusio n

that can be drawn is that the great majority of the student body(and more particularly those in Arts) are either mentally sterile or

sluggards, both of which conditions are a disgrace to any seat o flearning .

A Case In PointAMUEL BENTLEY was prematurely serious at twenty . it was

S his nature to think deeply of the merest trifles and to worry ove r

them . Yet he possessed a fair sense of humour, quite a sarcasti c

tongue and even a modicum of self-assurance, which occasionally foundrelief in outbursts of cheap ,journalism. it pleased hint to think that h e

could write, yet he was careful not to brag about it, instead, he adop-ted afl air of dignity which deceived even his closest friends, and t o

satisfy his vanity, he openly despised women . But it was easy for him

to analyse himself, and when his eo1IMCietu'e Iorment1'(1 him beyon d

reason, be wailed frantically on a cheap violin in an effort to forget .

He usually succeeded

Now, as he read the Editor's letter, another world lay shattere d

to a thousand pieces around him .

. I aitt not in the habit of giving personal opinions o n

any material contributed to this magazine . However . . . it is

obvious you do not possess the least knowledge of how to write a stor y

and would not advise you to waste both your time and tha t

of some busy editor

He was bitterly disappointed . Iii' handed over the letter to Pa t

Wade almost in tears.

"Good Lord ! It's awful! I'm absolutely ruined, \Vhat on eart h

will happen to me now?" he groaned.

I'at \Vade was one of the few who understood Bentley, and tiein g

all that a friend should be, he corrected his bed traits and grett• fon d

of him for the good . Ile knew exactly the depth of Bentley ' s meat ;a l

ehaos on Gone occesinns . And he smiled .

Bentley lit a cigarette ."Yee, i suppose you ' re right. By .rove ! Another of toy Fairy

to pass the matter off lightly . IIe 'as roused front his brooding b yan exclamation from Wade, who had heel) glancing nrotlud the room .

Bentley saw hint approach a table and speak to a girl who sil talone . Be attempted to catch a glimpse of lier face but she had he r

"Apologie for Jazz "

Time most misunderstood child i nmusical history is that type of pres-ent (lay music known colder the nam eof "JAll," This cognomen, by th eway, is most Inapt but for want ofa better it was accepted and, onc eaccepted, cannot be changed . " Aprophet bath no honour---etc . "describes the petition of jazz in theworld to-duy . Of comparatively recen torigin, it cannot be expected tha tmusical critics and authorities ca nchange so easily In such a shor tspace or (slue as to recognize th estatus or jazz among the arts .

From tile point of view of th eaverage listener, it has been said tha tanyone, even entirely devoid ofmustcnl 1ratntug unit knowledge, canproduce an equally entertaining pot •pourrl of rhythm and none too exac tmelody and hammy . Obviously theonly unawer to this argument Is "Tr yIt! "

The whole case bingos around th eNet that few people understand jaz zand therefore appreciation Is Iin •possible, To its devottees, jazz (Wha tIt name!) 'women.; a means of ex•pressing their personality, an avenu eof escape from the hurd•and•rast con -vention of classical music . True jazzcannot he put on paper ; it is seldomplayed the same way twice and thu sreflects the mood of the performe rinasmuch as he can change tempo ,shading, expression and also the ac •tutu notation. Even in practical or-chestration the music is never playedexactly as it is written, as the objec tof jazz would be thereby defeated ;if the exact notes are played by al lthe members of an orchestra the gen-eral effect is one of bedraggled caco •phony .

As for the history of jazz, It i sessentially North American . PaulWhiteman, the "Crowned King o fJazz," In his book by that name ,traces Ito origin back to a single col .lectlon of negro musicians in NewOrleans. Mr. Whiteman himsel fstarted out in his chosen professionas violinist with a group of symplmon •lets but saw the possibilities in thi snew idea and developed it to hits ownand the common advantage . it is anundeniable fact that jazz is yet in it sinfancy and that many more year sof existence will have to pass beforeit emerges am a Walled art. But inthe interim why should it not b etolerated ?

The development of popular musi con the piano differs slightly from th ehistory of the orchestral type. Scot tJoplin, famous exponent of ragtime ,was the Innovator to this case . Hisbass figures are ivied today by r ecording pianists and platform artist s---sufttcient testimony to the fact tha the occupies on a smaller scale th eposition of Roger Bacon—that of egreat man born before his time .

It is the appealing rhythm and un-conventional nature of the compos-itions that converts the disciple o fjazz. But yet Its attractiveness can -not be pinned down to any one char-acteristic—jazz Is the possessor o f"that indefinable something"

- rhon)udial equivalent of "IT ! "

1'es, nothing could possibly go wrong. Mrs. Harknes' , nextdoor, would tell her friends that We . Warner had confided to her

how worried she was about Barry's health and how strangely he ha d

insisted he was all right in reply to her anxious questions, how sh ehad left him to finish his coffee while she went to 'phone Monday's

order to the grocery, how she, Mary, had made the horrible discovery ,

and so on . . . . and she had made the poison herself out of ingredients

"Cold, cold, very col(i," he mumbled . "Dinner ready? "

The question was asked in a challenging tone, She meekly re -plied : " Yes clear, just waiting for you . "

Miss Lamella Peabody was a stypically old-maidish aslher name .Though she despised the race o fmen, ,without then, her life in th esingle house-keeping room, wouldhave been unbearable, She firm-ly believed that every male with-in her ken suffered from a hope -less passion for her . 7'he baker'sbow/ who brought her frugal loafhasle'►wd to be gone and awayfrom her fatal fascination . 7'h eyellow-stained fingers of the siek-l y clerk in ,the grocery trembledas ,they wrapped her fete pur-chases .

MODERN POETRY(Continued from Page 1 )

The reading public to whom it makes an appeal is small .The authors of 'A Survey of Modernist Poetry' saw fit to in-

clude a discussion of Gertrude Stein in their concluding chapter ,giving some quotations—and misquotations—from her essay 'Com-position As Explanation .' This discussion is very interesting. Welearn that Miss Stein exercised perfect discipline over her creativefaculties because she was completely without originality, and tha tshe has perfect simplicity of mind. None of the words in one o fthe quotations given has had any history . Refering to anotherquotation it is stated that "the composition has a theme becauseit has no theme." The words in it are "a self-pursuing, tail -swallowing series and are thus thoroughly abstract . " "They con-tain no reference, no meaning, no caricatures, no jokes, no dea fpairs . They are ideally automatic, creating one another, " Apresumptuous person might ask why they were written at all .Let him learn that "she used language automatically to recor dpure, ultimate obviousness," and hold his peace .

It. is not easy to make the acquaintance of Edith Sitwell . 'I'ry-ing to get any pleasure out of her poetry when you first read i tis like trying to light a damp fire, You try and try and finall yget a feeble blaze which Mile to warm you, More enjoyment ma ybe derived with persistence . Like many other niodernimts, sh euses rhyme to a great extent, and often rather badly. This repelsthe artistic reader . One frequently feels that the rhyme is pnin-fully' forced. This gives a childish, unfinished atmosphere tomany of her poems. The use of strange words grates on on eused to the conventional poetic vocabulary. It is frequentlyoverdone and heightens the effect of crude childishness in muc hof her work. Miss Sitwell's poetry is colourful, fanciful, some -times beautiful, seldom thoughtful, never inspiring, and I thin kone might truthfully add, never deeply inspired. In "The Sleep-ing Beauty" she gives full play to her lively fancy. It is a drowsy,hothouse poem whose story winds a feeble, insipid course throug htwenty-six sections, obscured, diffused and almost lost in marshe sof fantasy. Individual parts may be light and frivolous, but th egeneral effect is drowsiness . Like most of her poems, it (toes notleave a very deep impression . Three hooks of them leave pn(' withvague memories of the great Magniffeo in, turban and brocade ddressing-gown—a mother being stabbed by her son for the gol dbeneath her bed—gay Spanish ladies-- .a beautiful Princess—straw-berries — coxcombs — jewels — gilding — leaves — fruit — sil k— cream — roses .

Rhyme has its uses and its abuses . It makes a poem mor emusical and the mind retains the thought more readily . As thepoet writes, using a rhyme scllelne, appropriate phrases and linescome to him to carry out the rhyming sequence, and the poe mbecomes fuller and more imaginative. There are four d ;tngersin the use of rhyme : it may become monotonous ; it may be toostrained—that is, be badly clone ; it, may be used as padding fo ra basic hollowness ; and in a thoughtful poem it may obscure th emain idea. These dangers are not very skilfully avoided by th emodernists . In their limitation of subjects, their small intellectua laudience, their cynical outlook and various eccentricities of ex-pression and arrangement, they seenil to form a classicists wit hever-tightening rules and limitations. It is dotthtlul that. theywill produce much poetry that is worth surviving .

With regard to style the 'Survey ' says : The tvhole trend o fmodern poetry is toward treating poetry like a very sensitive sub-stance which stteeeeda better when allowed to erystiiIize 1)y itsel fthan when put into prepared moulds ." This is it good thin!_, I tis unnatural to force a poem into a set form . The poet shred(' le tthe poem write itself, exercising no more emt)w'i()ns hurl deliberat econtrol than is n''Cessary to pr(lduee as inlelli',ibl,' stud art istie i tereatior. as is compatible With the ttn(Iistorted expression DI' thethought Ol' i(leia .

Claim Manager System Is Unnecessary

(Continued from Page 2 )plies ; the Manager merely, "Coor-dinates financial policy." We feel thatthis plan would add another execut-ive without improving the existingsystem.

Under the present system th eCouncil is responsible for the dis-bursement of all funds, It considersbills handed on to it by the variou sexecutives, and by virtue of havin gat least two of its members secondterm men it Is bettor qualified t oetu•ry out this duty than any othe rbody. The budgets passed by Conn •all are handed to the Curator wh ogoverns himself by then in stakingout his requisitions.

We fool that the statements mad eagaltlst the present system canno tbe substantiated, With the curato rsystem which has been develope dthis year we have achieved as gooda coordination of finances as hi need-ed by a university of our size an dmeans, The report of the Financ eCommittee hu g been made on prov etoils years, it (loee not include thi syear. We feel that it would be un •wise to destroy a system which i sproving its worth for one which ha sonly the claims of its supporters . Wewould like to see the following motio npassed the next Alma Mater meet-ing, "That the Alma Mater Societ ygreatly appreciates the work of th eFinance Committee but at presentbelieves that it would be inexpedien tto adopt the proposed Manager Plan . "Thanking you, we ar e

Your very truly ,D. MACDONALD ,R. R. MUNN .

Says Onus of Proof Rests With Opposer sEditor Ubyssey,Dear Sir :

In this controversy over the man-ager system, I am sure that we shal lall agree upon one thing. That Is ,that there is only one system thatmerits our support, and that is th ebest . Therefore it is for the de •fenders of the present system to con-vince the student body that thei rsystem has no faults, and that it can -not be improved upon . At the A. M .S. meeting, I am sure that all wil lagree with me that they failed to dothis .

The committee has been accuse dof using large meaningless word ssuch as (1) centralized guiding force ,(2) permanency, (3) responsibility ,and (4) co-operation . By the manage rsystem, the business manager and thefinance executive would act as a cen-tralized guiding force--a force thatwould always have a detailed knowl-edge of the finances of the A. M. S.Permanency would be affected by th etraining afforded to managers, so thatat all times experienced person swould be stepping up into higherpositions . In regard to responsibility ,the system is airtight in that respect ,as each manager would be responsibl eto somebody, who in turn is directlyor indirectly responsible to the Coun-cil . The very fact, that the systemIc so closely knit together with afinance cxe(•iltive at the head, prove sthat there` must he ee l)pel'flti11i1 .

The business manager should b epaid, iecltnse the office involves agreat cleat of work, that stay not b evisible to the casual observer, bu tnevertheless Is there . Again, the pay-ment of a salary would insure th ework being clone thoroughly .

Finally lot us remember, that th eadaption of the manager system woul dnot require a change In our consti-tution and that it would be in th enatur e of an experiment . Then, howcan we judge the system without giv-ing It a fair trial? By trying it wehave nothing to lose and everythin gto gain .

Yours very truly ,HUGH MOR 11SON ,

"Ubyssey" Fails Declare OptimistsThe Philter .The I'byssey ,Dear Sir :

The I'l1yNNey IN the ulllclal meuth-plece by will'le the 'student bully finit eexpreselorl . If, then, that elusive thingknown us "(tollege spirit " is to develop ,the e'li .ge paps)• ► aunt Nerve its thechlefeNt vehicle . Are we to Rifer fro myour !atom( Wee p that the morale"' Outfigh tof the Minima mind I . "petting•eentrie? "

We would take exception to the pos-ition taken by the I1bysNey, From th eK,nea•al tone of your edItorbai, tie In-terunce would be that petting ham becom ea universal and thoroughly aecrndite d

vvalence here as elsewhere. We wouldumbiy remind the editor that there are

still a few tare specimens of the genushome sapiens which have not been cap-tured and confined in the petter ' H zoo.

The question aH to whether or no tou have devoted a proportional splic e

ro the controversy depends directly uponthe number of Individuals who have a s,vet escaped confinement, if the rank sof the free are as seriously depleted a syou appear to Imagine, then the ques-tion may not have bben over-emphasised .We would venture to suggest that thos estill at large may be a not Inconsiderabl enor unimportant part of the college com-munity .

As a general criticism, are not You reditorials too formal and vague? The ylack the essential contents of sound con -Ntructive pulley . Further, you might giv eyour reportorial staff new direction . Las tweek 1)r . Sedgewlek gave an unusuallyable lecture to the Philosophy Club, whic hdrew no mention In your columns, Othe rclubs Huffer the same neglect . The III -ness and absences of students and pro-fessors pass without tlbysseyy notice ,

Would It not be posslhle to mak ecampus events? The Ilbyasey methodseems to be to vary the prelim Inversel ysome attempt at judical criticism o fas the merit of the event . Now on eof the great functions of a universit yIH to develop the critical faculty . It l eobvious that In keeping with this spiri tcrlticisrnm should be truly critical : theyshould mete out prairie and blame im-partially .

If you wish to discover what student sare thinking, why not formally Inter -view them and quote them In "Wha tpeople are thinking?" Surely an later-eNting eelumn could bo constructed Inthis way .

We arebitingly yours ,

Masterson Tolls of Debating Tour

11111 Mastorson, „Ubyssey corm .spondetlt on the Western Canadiandebating team, in a letter to theeditor writes of the experiences o fthe debating team on Its presenttour, Bill is known at U . B. C. notonly as a debater but as treasurerof the A. M. S. In 1927 .28, We re -print extracts from . the letter :

"Chappel (Alberta) and McKenzi e(Sask.) are two very fine fellows andtravelling with them is a pleasure .

We met in Saskatoon and were en-tertained quite extensively at theUniversity there . The night we leftwe were invited to stay and see thei rLadies Lit ., but we told them thateven with Government Control weweren't used to seeing women i nthat condition .

It was much warmer in Regin awhere we arrived a few days later .Saskatoon had been 36°—Regina wasonly 30° below. We were handsome-ly entertained here also .

The debate "Resolved that the in-troduction of machinery has donemore harm than good ." We took theaffirmative and after the most amus-ing debate I ever heard the judgesgave us the unanimous decision .

Winnipeg was quite a treat at 24 °below but several Interesting stagparties made up for the chilly atmos-phere. Our subject here was "Re-solved that the existing agencies areadequate for the establishment o fworld peace." Taking the negativeits this case we persuaded the audi •once that the hounds of war were atthe door and they—believing us gaveus our second win .

I can't begin to do adequately ou rtrip to Toronto . The B. C . studentshere—Jean Tollnie, Doug . Telford ,Jimmy Craig, Bill Wilson, LilooetGreen, Phyllis Thompson, CharlieMottley and others too numerous tomention, have made our visit toToronto outstanding in every way .

We debated in Trinity College o n"Resolved that this house is oppose dto all forms of Censorship ." It wasour first parlamentary debate an dquite an experience for us. How-ever once more we were lucky an dwell .

One's impression of Toronto Varsit yis mainly that of Hart House . Somany people have seen and describe dit that I don't know of any adjective sthat haven't been used . I'm sure It' sthe only building in Canada tha tcould take the place of U . 11. (^sMears Itt Jelin itilflugton's affoelions .

We ectnae to U . A C . lost at (hel pfaint Toronto awl received our stiffes topposition of the tour from these Ag-glee. The College is undoubtedlyunique in many respects and thespirit is very fine .

Our victory here makes our fourt hstraight win but Osgoode Hall to -morrow night may tell a differen tstory .

Give my regards to the staff andaccept my apologies for not writingsooner.

Sincerely,BII.I.. "

KANSAS STUDENTS INDULGE IN TEAAND SPANISH SIMULTANEOUSL YHeave a sigh of envy for the stu-

dents at the University of Kansas ,who, instead of having final exams, g oto tea parties . The course where thi smethod is introduced is advance dSpanish, and the tea party had to b ea talkative one, with the grades de -pending on the quantity and dualityof the conversation. But there we tone consolation—they have plenty t oeat .

commenced publishing. Instead ofa public of some five thousand as h ehad before, the deposed editor nowhas many times that number, andwhat the outcome will be, remains tobe seen .

Many papers have taken up th esubject, some for and some againstthe policy of the paper . The Mc-Gill Daily" In its editorial, "StudentRights," looks at the matter from anunbiased viewpoint, It states :

"The editorial which started thetrouble has already boon published i npart In the Daily. When one goeshack to road again the statementswhich started all the trouble it is sunpriming to discover how ordinary theeditorial really ie, it talks abou tpetting, true, and expresses senti-mentII with which august universitygovernors would hardly agree, We d onot agree with then' oureelvee, bu tat least the editorial errs more as re-gards subject than In Its attitude . "

Apparently the "Daily" does no tagree with the attitude of the Hoardof (lovornore, for the editorial furthe rgoes on to say :

"in theory Toronto has studen tself government . In effect the hanuthat appears of Interest in student con-trol seems to be that of the Boardof Governors, The President of th eJoint Executive admits that on fou roccasions pressure was brought tobear to have the editor removed . Fourtimes this trouble was staved off atthe expense of friction and growingirritation .

The only silent voices during thewhole proceedings seem to have beenthose of the undergraduates them -selves. They, having elected thei rAdministrative Councils, pass out ofthe picture . The Administrative Coun-cils, having elected their represent-atives to the Joint Executive, ap-parently also pass out of the picture .Then the Joint Executive, under thevery paternal eye of the Board ofGovernors proceed to transact busi-ness ,

It 1s absurd to suppose that under-graduate opinion will always be ofbalanced and staid maturity . It isalso absurd to attempt to regulat eeverything that is expressed by un-dergraduates. The paper 1s supposedto he representative of STUDENTopinion, and we consider that everyundergraduate in Toronto has a righ tto protest, whether they actuall yagree with the editorial or not, agains tthe invasion of autocratic euthorlty ,

We think that some of the state •ments and articles in the Varsit ywere unnecessary or mistaken . Wethink too, that the trouble was a g-gravated into Its present form by theunnecessary Intrusion Into student at -fairs of the higher authorities . "

Mr .

Lack of Pay One Cause

Of Toronto Uproa r

According to Editor Ryan, whos eviews on petting have so shockedconservative Toronto, some blame fo rthe controversy must be attributed t othe absence of remuneration for workdone on the "Varsity . "

Said he in partial defense of his at-titude : "Part of the trouble come sfrom lack of pay. They want the ed-itors to work for nothing, if you haveeverything on an amateur basis yo ucan't expect to get the maximum oftaste, dignity and accuracy that th eboard wants, The night editors, fo rexample, work from eight o'clock atnight to eight o'clock in the morningand got seventy-live cents . "

Editor Ryan's remarks would b epertinent to scores of large colleg epapers In United Stutog and Canada .Laboring for the fun of the game, fo rthe pleasure that comes from being onthe "inside," college !ournalfste loseIloop, neglect studies and accumulat eIdeas opposed to the spirit of organ -heed authority .

Mr .Henderson said that each new Society ,by renewing agreements, gives a de-finite stand . His amendment, 'Tha tagreements hold for one year only,wherever possible,' was carried .

Miss Mackay moved the deletionof section (4), clause (b), on theground that exploitation of teams wasencouraged. The meeting adoptedoriginal reading.

Objection being raised to sectio n(4), clause (a), Mr. Henderson an dMr . Smith amended it to : 'Among ouractivities more attention should b egiven to money-making enterprises . '

With regard to section (18), clauses(h) and (1), it was explained thattreasurers of organizations would be -come financial managers . Clubs with -in organizations would have treas-urers whose reports would be checke dand combined into monthly financia lstatements by the organization's fi-nancial manager.

Mr. DesF3rlsay objected to sectio n(ii), clause (b) . It was explaine dthat there was no intention to Inter-fere wtlh the expression of persona lopinions, but that no one should ex -plain the official actions of the AlmaMater Society without authority .
