Sad Story Of Students S o
Far Spurned By S . Service
By JOHN GREEN
• PITY THE SAD FATE of the student nobody wants .
All last term the awful form of selective service crouche d
in the shadows and under the caf benches, waiting, waiting ,
gazing with fiendish anticipation at the unfortunate student s
as they hurried madly about their studies . "Christmas," it
said to itself, "Christmas, then I'll get him!' i
FRENZY
Terrified at the awful fate awaiting them, eligible Varsit y
males (don't misunderstand me ,
girls) worked with feverish frenzied haste in a hopeless effort to
escape the unescapable.
Came the 28th of December an d
eighty-two unfortunates foun d
that their struggle had indeed bee n
in vain. They were caught . Their
destiny lay in the merciless hand s
of the bureaucrats .
But what of selective service ,
what fiendish plan had they pre .
pared to spring on the helpless
vlctlrns who had fallen into thei r
hands ?
Friends of the unfortunates hel d
their breath . Would they ever
hear from their old cronies again ?
When would the casualty lists b e
posted ?
ANTI CLIMA X
Then the impossible happened .
Some of the draftees were stil l
to be seen around their old haunts ,
nothing had happened to them ,
nothing seemed to be going to
happen to them . One or two of
the most fortunate (and of th e
lowest medical category) even re ,
appeared at varsity .
These lucky individuals did not
know why they were allowed to
return, they did not know if th e
move was permanent . They did
not know what had happened to
their more athletic compatriots .
The university did not know . Th e
COTC was in the dark . . Only the
navy and the air force had definit e
intormatiop on what was to hap pen to their charges.
s
What happened? Had weaknes
finally appeared among the servants of the government? Wer e
the "Horrors of Hastings Street"
really human?
FRUSTRATIO N
Finally the NSS itself was contacted, "Could they please tell
just what was - - -" "Just a minute, I'll connect you witA some one else." Ind like to find - - - "
"I'm sorry, I'll put you through to
- - -", "Hello, could you" "No ,
just a minute". "Could you - - - "
Click, click! "Hello, could- - - "
"One moment". "What happened
to the UBC students who were - - '-" "I'm sorry, I can't tell yo u
now, the board Is still considerin g
the case! "
There you have it. For four
months the awful unknown ha s
been pondering on the horribl e
things it would do to the student s
when it got them . Now it isn' t
even sure it wants them.
The terror of the campus turns
out to be a mild-mannered and
somewhat befuddled St . Bernard .
The holders of the BAC (bounce d
at Christmas) degree are still aliv e
and out of jail . Their fate is stil l
before them . What will happen?
Will anyone come to claim them ,
or must they wait for the NSS for
ever ?

Wild displays of emotion during

the balcony stays open will depen d

Christmas trees, the University Radio Society ha s
been foiled again. A few
weeks ago the news cam e
out that the station ove r
which the society broadcasts ,
CKWX, was going on a Dominion-wide hookup .
Immediately this little group o f
radio actors began wondering if b y
any chance they would possibl y
be broadcasting all across Canada ,
as CKWX was to be on the network from five to eight in th e
afternoon, and their program i s
on at 6 :45 .
However, according to CKWX ,

From The Editor s Pen a « w
'
Grads Move I n
Arrangements are being complete d
between the Students ' Council and 'th e
Alumni Association whereby the latter organization will take over the Men 's Executive office in Brock Hall for a permanen t
business office .
Files of all UBC graduates and all th e
other business equipment with which the y
carry on their business will be kept there ,
and a secretary will be employed to carr y
on the business .
This is felt to be the first step toward a
more closely integrated co-operation between past and present students at the university. I'he value of the Alumni Associatio n
has not been fully realized in the past an d
with this new system it is hoped that bot h
the Association itself and the Alma Mate r
Society will benefit .
The wages of the secretary will be pai d
both by the'Alumni and by the Alma Mate r
Society, with the understanding that a considerable part of her time will be spent i n
assisting the secretary in the AMS office .
In this way, the co-operation between th e
two societies will be increased .
The student government has expressed .
the hope that in post-war years a graduat e
manager will be appointed to promote th e
activities of the AMS, in the same positio n
as the men already hired in many America n
colleges for the purpose . The centralization
of student and graduate activities in this
manner will serve as a foundation for hi s
work when he is appointed .
Another scheme which is under the attention of Students ' Council is the attemp t
to consolidate the Summer Session Association with the other two organizations in th e
AMS office, No definite news on this lates t
move has been released as yet, but Counci l
is quite confident that arrangements will b e
completed this year .
The valuable work which has been don e
so far towards the future successes of th e
university through the united efforts of th e
three organizations demands the support o f
incoming councils as well as tha4 one al ready in office . Only continued effort on
the part of students and graduates ca n
realize the ambitions for which they ar e
working.
• A Student s Opinion
'
IN THE initial article it was pointed ou t
we would deal with the function of University in war time, democratic principles
as applicable to campus affairs, studen t
apathy, and the lack of a university spirit .
It seeing that one particular project is no w
up for discussion which takes all four o f
these points into account . Some of the onu s
seems to fall on Students' Council . What
do you think ?
At the start of this school year the president of the debating club at the Universit y
of Alberta was informed by the powers-thatbe in Alberta that his University would no t
be able to travel in war time for competitive
,purposes, and hence the University which
donated the famed McGoun Cup was agai n
unable to compete for it .
But this did not daunt Mr . Don Connie,
the president of the club. Since his University could not travel in war time for competitive purposes, why not organize a conference of the four western colleges along non competitive lines? He sold Manitoba on th e
idea and had the University of Saskatchewan Luke-warm. Probably thinking this was
enough he went ahead and drew up the arrangements, complete arrangements .
The conference on Post War Reconstruction was to be held in Saskatoon January 16 and 17, and each University was t o
send six delegates . All expenses were t o
be pooled . A very liberal itemized financial
estimate was prepared and distributed t o
the four colleges for approval . The cost per
University was to be $300 . Since that time
the number of delegates has been reduce d
to four and the expenses to $200 .
COMPLICATIONS AROS E
But there was a catch . The Students '
Council of the University of British Columbia temporarily a4helved it . A small item
appeared in the Ubyssey regarding it, cam pared to a full page in the Alberta paper .
No details were ever given because none
were available . Mr. Whyte has consente d
to refute the Council 's earlier decision to le t
the conference go by the boards if enoug h
interest can be stirred up on this campu s
about it .
Meanwhile another complication arises .
The University of Sapkatchewari feels it can
not afford both the 'McGoun Cup and th e
conference. It has communicated with UB C
regarding our decision on the matter an d
has committed itself to doing whatever w e
do. Alberta is definitely pro-conference b y
necessity . At Manitoba the debating club
would naturally like to see the McGoun Cu p
but the Students ' Council very strongly endorses the idea of the Conference on Pos t
War Reconstruction .
The Parliamentary Forum of this University, with financial backing of Council ;
has telegraphed Saskatchewan informing
them that they will definitely go ahead wit h
the McGoun Cup on February 18 . This is
perfectly justified from the Parliamentar y
Forum point of view . But, this means Saskatchewan, if she lives up to her committmente, will junk the conference, and a stalemate will follow, UBC and Saskatchewan
for the Cup, and Manitoba and Alberta fo r
the Conference. The Parliamentary Foru m
has also telegraphed the Student 's Council
at Manitoba trying to persuade them t o
change their mind .
LEGITIMATE REASONS?
The students ' Council feels that th e
Conference would not justify our entering it
for several reasons . First, Mr. Whyte attended a conference of University president s
this summer at Reno and It flopped . Second ,
students are too immature to tackle such a
problem as Post War Reconstruction. Third,
difficulty would arise' in choosing candidates .
Fourth, money .
Mr. Whyte's conference was not of th e
same nature as the proposed one and it wa s
held after school was closed . As for students
spilling a lot of hot-air and getting nothin g
accomplished, this begs the whole question.
Is it not conceivable that thinking University
students would be able to conduct them selves admirably? It is time that youth ha d
a say in the future! What could be a bette r
way than a conference on post-war problems? Surely not a formal debate .
The choosing of candidates would naturally entail a little work but that is hardl y
an excuse . Anything worthwhile merits a
little work done on it . As for the mone y
angle of it, this seems most inexcusable . The
Students' Council up till the end of November was operating on last year' s surplus ,
according to the Junior Member! The $20 0
needed for the Conference (the exact su m
temporarily allocated to a proposed Hig h
School basketball tournament which fel l
through) is really not very hard to find .
What then is Council's justification of their
action?
They have one more argument. The
Conference does not justify the expense because it is not held out here and only fou r
people actually would get any benefit ou t
of it. This is reasonable but shows a very
conservative attitude.
WAR CONTRIBUTION
The' Conference could not be held out
here because the expense would naturally
make it impossible . It is true only four
people from each University take part i n
the conference, but more constructiv e
thought is bound to arise from a spontaneous
informal discussion than a formal debate .
Besides the very topic is of such importanc e
as to effectively limit the number of parties- .
pants. Pamphlets regarding the findings of
the Conference could be published ver y
cheaply, and students going away could b e
made to give a full discussion of what happened, when they returned, to the students
in a mass meeting held in the Auditorium .
Is it not possible that the amount of publicit y
coming out of the conference for UBC woul d
far outstrip that coming out of a' forma l
debate? It would show the people of Canada
that we are not letting them down.
This is the fifth year of the war. What
have the Universities of Canada contributed? Where is the spirit of freedom, o f
initiative, of enterprise, of spontaneity, o f
discussion, that should dominate the Universities? Why are we so apathetic, dis'
interested?
Here is a real chance to prove ourselve s
to the doubting public, to the public tha t
sends white feathers to the students . Let's
get militant and optimistic . Its no wonder
white feathers are sent !

LETTERS T O
THE EDITOR
The Editor,
The Ubyssey ,
Dear Madam :
Admittedly t h e Xmas exams
were held under unusual circumstances this year, but I find that
many other people share with me
the opinion that steps should b e
taken to remedy the conduct,
during examinations, of the students and of the invigilators.
It seems that, during these last
exams, cheating reached the point
where it was almost a genera l
practise. The great bulk of the
students, who are not geniuses but
who work hard, are rather disgusted to find lazier, less intelligent students are obtaining bette r
marks for no other reason than
that they apparently lack scruples .
Most educators agree that the examination system is, at best, fa r
from satisfactory. Can't our Faculty and Administration do something to keep it as fair as possible ?
One rather hates to suggest that
the only way to stop these practices is to catch two or thre e
people and make examples of
them, if only for fear that those *
caught might be weak souls committing their first offense rathe r
than some of the hardened practitioners, yet it seems the only
solution .
As for the invigilators may I b e
so rude as to suggest to certai n
of them that their duty is to pre serve order and quiet during th e
examination, rather than to mak e
nuisances of themselves, disturbing the students by excessive
talking, unnecessary announcements, stumbling up and dow n
stairs, and generally disturbin g
the students . The conduct of
most invigilators leaves nothing t o
be desired, but I can give anyon e
who wishes them examples taken
from these last exams, of all the
above thoughtless actions of th e
invigilators,

Soccerites
Travel To
V. Island
•
AT LAST the Varsity
Soccer team has obtained the long sought-after tri p
when they travel to th e
Island this week end t o
tackle one of the leadin g
roundball teams in t h e
Capital City .
The boys have been clamouring
for the jaunt for a long time and
when the Thunderbird hoopster s
went Islandward just over a
month ago they put the pressur e
on .
So the Men's Athletic Directorate satisfied them and have for warded the necessary funds t o
travel .
Ex-manager and centre-forwar d
player of last year, Gordy Johnson, now Lt. G .J . Johnson of the
Canadian Armoured Corps is In
town on leave and he plans to
make the crossing in true commando style .
FAREWELL JAMES
This game will be a farewell appearance for one of the team' s
star players, Jimmy Morton, who
has had to drop out of the lineu p
because of a timetable clash which
has forced him to take militar y
training Saturday afternoons .
Previous to Christmas he was
OK, but now he has Sac . 10 on
Wednesday afternoons, so he can not take the parade that afternoon ,
thus he will have to switch to
Tuesday and Saturday .
So we bid farewell to Jimm y
Morton. Poor Horatio!
Intramural
Hoopsters
Starts Tues
•
INTRAMURAL play for
the new year is already
under way with the final
volleyball game schedule d
for today at noon. The two
league winners, Kappa Sigs
and the DU's will tangle fo r
the championship . The DU's
won the bye to the final
series by downing the Zetes
on Wednesday noon and wil l
be out to stop the high flying
Kappa Sig crew,
Next week will see the beginning of the Basketball leagu e
which this year is being staged i n
a double knockout affair in each
of two divisions, the Blue and th e
Gold . This was thought to be a
better arrangement than having a
round-robin series which woul d
carry the play on to the end of
March, following which the play offs would have to be held.
The two Leagues for the hoop
play, which begins next Tuesday,
are the Blue League . Alpha Delta,
Gamma, Phi Delta, Mu Phi, DU ,
Kappa Sigs, Sigma Phoo, and
Zetes,—and the Gold League ; Phi
Kappa Pi, Lambda, Phi Kappa Sig ma, Engleers, Zeta Beta Tau, Psi
U, Fiji's and Beta's.
The schedule for the play will b e
posted outside Maury Van Vllet's
office and team representative s
should be sure they see a copy
and note the time of their games .
The next program planned is
the swimming event which i s
hoped will be held two weeks from
today at the YMCA pool . In previous years this has been one o f
the best events in the Intramural
program and should continue in
that position this year .
Soon to be staged is the one
night knockout Table Tennis
Tournament, which will be held
on a Wednesday night in the gym .
Each Intramural team may enter
a three-man team composing o f
a singles player and two others
for a double team.
Fraternity and Sorority
The league will probably ope n
in Victoria as well as here to morrow night with the two Is land teams playing at the Victoria .
High School gym which has been
obtained for the league games t o
be played in Victoria .
Pat Bay Gremlins and Victoria
Army from Vancouver Island an d
Vancouver Combines and Varsity
Thunderbirds from the Mainlan d
will make up the league . How ever, Laurles are still trying to
get into the set-up and thus the
loop may yet be comprised of five
teams.
CHAMPS STILL PAT BA Y
As for the teams, Pat Bay are
last year's Dominion Champs an d
have let it be known that they
aim to keep the title by their two
showings this season in Vancouver.
Victoria Army is somewhat of a
mystery team, but it is expecte d
to make a good showing . Th e
Vancouver Combines have developed into a well-rounded squad
since their amalgamation in November .
Varsity contrary to the general
belief, have not been slouching ,
since the folding of the V and D
League, They took a rest for
exams, and all of them cam e
through unscathed . During the
holidays, however, the Thunder
birds went to work. They had four
tough practices in this period, and
immediately on returning they ha d
three more ; on Monday, Tuesda y
and Thursday.
FOURTEEN AT WORKOUT
Monday's workout was very successful according to coach Maur y
Van Vllet . Fourteen hoopaters
turned out : last year's squad plus
Jim Scott, Bud McLeod, Don Livingston, and Harry Kermode .
Harry is on leave, having finishe d
I.T.S . at Edmonton, and has been
practising regularly with t h e
Thunderbirds .
Gordy Sykes, star centre, was
released voluntarily last month ,
but he intends to remain with th e
Senior A's . Bud McLeod was signed to fill out the team's quota o f
11 players . Unfortunately, Don
Livingstone is unable to make th e
team due to pressure of studies .
Jim Scott U the man in the news
today. Since the start of this season he has been thinking seriousl y
of returning to the Thunderbird s
after a two-season period of absence . He has been starring wit h
the Senior H i s in the minor hoop .
His presence with the club woul d
make them a title threat team .
