Communists form about "two percent" of membership in;he Canadian Legion, President Perry Millar estimated Tuesday.

The spirit of spring was wafted briefly through thestaid Student Council chambers Monday night.

The apple blossom atmosphere broke into rosy bloomwhen the campus legislators moved an official vote ofconfidence in WUS president Nora Clark for her devotionbeyond the line of duty in the field of foreign relations.

Returned from a three day meet at the University ofWashington at Seattle Nora brought back with her besidesan armful of reports a Psi U fraternity pin from the Seattlecampus.

Eastern UDebates IUSAffiliation

Winnipeg, Jan. 14—(CUP)—In a heated, five-hour sessionUniversity of Manitoba Stu-dents Union members debatedinconclusively the possibility ofManitoba's affiliation with theInternational Union of Stu-dents:

Most debate arose from a rider toa resolution from the National Fed-eratiOriirtitiadiiii—Uttiversitr Stu-dents which provides that two-thirdsof all Canadian universities must ap-prove before Canada will join theInternational Union.Manitoba Student Union President,

Peyton Lyon, felt that the decisionfor Manitoba to join should comefrom a student majority by referen-dum rather than from a decision ofthe Council. "If the student body doesnot want to go in," Lyon said, "thenwe will bring home to the studentsthe significance of NFCUS and IUS.Furthermore, assent to IUS affilia-tion would provide our delegates withmore solid credentials than if Coun-cil alone affirmed the decision."

Fear was expressed by Council thatsuch a referendum would necessarilycome at the same time as UMSU pre-sidential elections thus providing a"Red political football" which wouldobscure the main issues of both thepresidential elections and IUS affili-ation.

HAPPY FAMILYWith friendly accord Engineers,

Pre-medical students, and Artsmenwent about the business of presentingthe first in a series of shows which willbrighten the noon-hour lethargy ofUBC students.

Freeman introduced Radsoc Presi-dent Ernie Perrault who gave anintroductory talk to the students con-cerning the aims and plans of theURS for future shows. Perraultspoke of the problems which weremet during the development of thestation and program technique,PROFESSIONAL TOUCH

Elaborating on charges made Mon-

day by former legion President Grant

Livingstone that Communists soughtto "discredit" the organization, Mil-

lar said that since the formation of

the Legion at UBC three years ago

"the Communist (LPP) party hasattempted to control, or failing tocontrol, then to obstruct, the policiesof the branch."

Millar said Communists in thebranch had employed "most of thetactics used against trade unions:"

The had "fillibustered to weary thegeneral membership and discourageattendance at meetings," the presidentcharged.

"The executive of the branch hasscrupulously avoided political dis-cussions," Millar said. "The legionis a service organisation and hasnever considered expelling the Com-munist element."

"So long as the regular membersof the branch continue to attend theopen meetings and vote accordingto their common sense and conscience,the vociferous Communist elementwill never control the branch," Mil-lar declared. "But," he said, "it isup to the members to see that the Imajority opinion prevails."

Grant Livingstone declinedto accept an LPP Club chal-lenge to a full-dress debate onCommunist activities in thecampus branch of CanadianLegion.

"Most of the charges are not worthreplying to," he told The Daily Uby-ssey.

"The perennial reply to any attackon the Communist Party is the squeal'witch-hunt'," he said.

DENIES 'POLITICS'

"I did not Introduce politics into thelegion. Two Communists did it whenthey urged that the legion interferein the Ford strike of 1945."

"As to there being only 13 LPPersin branch 72 of the legion; if that isall there are, then there must bequite a few Trotskyists who belong."

Livingstone singled out his attack-ers for counter-offensive:

"To Mr. Bryce: He always has view-ed me with suspicion.'

"To Mr. Shulman: The resolutionwhich he supported never was passed.If it had been passed my knowledgeof procedure would have preventedme from re-opening the question.Anyway, any opinion I expressed oncampaigning for raising the grantswas that of the National Student Vet-eran's Convention. I spoke only asdelegate to the convention, not in mycapacity as chairman of the meeting."

"To Mr. Martin: If the slate ofcandidates I referred to were notCommunists they certainly acted sing-,ularly in keeping with the CommunistParty line."

Charge RoundupIn Legion's FightWith UBC Reds

Here is a resume of charges andcounter-charges from this week'sdispute on campus Communists inthe Canadian Legion:

Grant Livingstone: "An insidiousCommunist minority is seeking todiscredit the legion on the campus."

Norm Littlewood: Ridiculous!There are not more than 13 Com-munists in Branch 72."

Perry Millar: "Ever since thislegion branch was formed the LPPhas attempted to gain control."

A union ruling which reservesevening radio time on four Vancouvercommercial stations for possible useby professional musicians has forcedthe student society to cancel plansfor a regular "Music from Varsity"series.

MEET UNION

Ernest Perrault, president of theRadio Society, and members of hisexecutive will meet today with E. A.Jamieson, secretary- manager of theMusicians Protective Union in Van-couver.

Perrault says he will seek "relieffrom the ban and a straight state-ment of policy from the union."

Delay in negotiations has made it"very doubtful if we will be able toproduce "Music From Varsity" thisyear," Perrault said.

All universities in Canada, throughthe National Federation of CanadianUniversity Students, are seeking torepeal the ban on the grounds thatstudent-sponsored programs are ama-

teur, educational and cultural.

The United States National Stu-dents Organization has also entered

the fight against the edict.

New ThunderbirdPrinted This Week

Presses will roll this week to pro-duce the January issue of The Thun-derbird, UBC's growing campus mag-azine.

Contents this month are almostevenly divided between fiction andnon-fiction, List of contributors in-cludes such familiar names as Wil-liam McConnell, Eriaie Perrault, BobHarlow, Norman Klenman, PaulWright and Hilda Thomas. Amongnewcomers are Eric Broderick, Kath-leen Stewart and A. H. Burt.

As a result of Livingstone's state-ment, Monday, that "an insidiousCommunist minority is attempting togain control of the legion," Littlewoodchallenged him to a full-dress debateon the controversy.

CHARGE RIDICULOUS

Describing Livingstone as "a DonQuixote fighting a Red windmill"Littlewood told The Daily Ubysseythat "the charge is ridiculous. Theehave never been more than 13 Com-munist members in the UBC branchof the legion."

A rider to the challenge read: "Iremind you (Livingstone) that I didnot seek to introduce politics intothe legion. That responsibility lieswith you."

"Livingstone's charges will split theranks of the legion and seriously ye-duce its effectiveness," Littlewood de-clared.

LEGION 'SLIPS'"As a matter of fact the legion has

been steadily on the skids ever sinceLivingtsone's administration. His pol-icy of conducting evening meetingshas eliminated many from the meet-ings. The result is that the legion pol-icy is decided by a few-70 to 100members out of a thousand is theusual attendance," he said.

Other left-wing leaders stood be-hind Littlewood.

Murray B. Bryce, president of theStudent Socialist Club said: "we maywell view with suspicion any politic-' Ian whose claim to fame is based upon'witch-hunts' against minority groups."

BOTH WRONGCliff Greer, member of the Student

Socialist Club, declared that bothsides were "away off balance."

"Livingstone's charge that the Com-munists are trying to disrupt thelegion is presumptious. There is awide difference between trying to geta democratic body to accept proposalsit is reluctant to adopt, and employingtactics designed to destroy that body,"he said in a signed statement.

"On the other hand, Penner'scharges against Livingstone are alsoa gross presumption."

URGES APPEASEMENTDonald K. Ward, who was on the

Legion committee concerned withgrants and pensions stated "Living-stone has not always supported theincrease of veterans grants. He in-timated to our committee that hewould like to see us very inactive toappease Ottawa and not embarrassthe government by pressing for in-creases . . "

Veterans are asked to write to theirmember of Parliament and state inreasonable terms why they feel abonus is necessary, he said.

List of MP's is posted on the Quadbulletin board and in the Legion of-fice.

Veterans are also requested. to writea letter to an editor of one of B.C.'snewspapers explaining why the bonusis necessary and why it is in the in-terest of the public.

In order to provide concrete evi-dence for the Department of VeteransAffairs several specific cases of ex-treme hardship, which may lead topremature departure from university,are required in the Legion office,Miller said,

Radsoc 'Hums' WithoutOld Arts, Science Tiff

There is one place on this great big, rivalry-ridden campuswhere Sciencemen and Artsmen work in complete and blissfulharmony.

Yesterday, I was present at the in-augural campus broadcast of the Uni-versity Radio Society and witnessedfor the first time in a stormy univer-sity career, this amazing phenomena.

initial broadcast would not have beenat all aware of this fact. Except fora few "first time" minor "bugs," theprogram went off smooth as silk.

Perrault went on by inviting sug-gestions and criticisms from the stu-dents, pointing out that it was theirstation and that they were its "bestfriends and most valuable critics,"

In addition, he asked students tosubmit club notices and any emerg-ency announcements to the new deskand that they would receive immedi-ate attention.NEWS AND MUSIC

With Frank Darknell as News Editorand Bill Nicol, campus broadcastingdirector, the rest of the programwent off smoothly featuring music anda short campus news survey by LesWager.

Though a few trembling scripts inthe hands of students bespoke "first-nighter" jitters, the whole show wascarried out with professional smooth-ness. Though a few frantic gestures(mysterious and altogether incoherentto the unknowing witness) indicatedlast - minute problems, there was prom-ise of future bigger and better showsin a really "big-time" atmosphere.

Council Corrects MistakeIn Constitution OF AMS

A three month old "mistake" was corrected by StudentCouncil Monday night when it drafted an amendment to anarticle of the AMS code which governs the formation of politicalclubs on the campus.

• The amendment arose out of a peti-tion of the Liberal Club to affiliatewith the nationwide Canadian Lib-eral University Federation.

The Liberals explained that thefederation had no party affiliations,received no party funds and its for-mation was for the purpose of dis-tributing a news letter to Liberal clubson Canadian campuses,

Despite the fact that the AMS codestates that "(political) clubs shall notbe directly affiliated with, or receivefunds or direction from any outsideorganizations" Chairman Grant Liv-ingstone felt "a mistake had beenmade and the article should be am-ended."

"This case parallels that of the So-cialist Club who were granted per-mission to join the nationwide Co-operative Commonwealth UniversityFederation if they changed their nameto CCF Club," Livingstone said.

The amendment permitting affilia-tion will be sent to the Judiciary

Student Council, Monday night, slammeddown 'the rubber stamp on a lengthy list ofelection rules brought in by the ElectionCommittee . . . a sub-group set up to investi-gate possible changes in electioneering.

Councillors hastened to point out thatdespite the ominous pernickediness of thelegislation candidates in the looming AlmaMater Society general elections would bepermitted to campaign in any way they sawfit provided that they did not have more thantwo posters measuring 21 by 28 inches, normore than three posters measuring 21 by14.

And further, no professionally producedsigns shall be permitted nor shall any candi-date be allowed an expenditure exceedingthe cost of five photographs, and further thatno candidate shall undertake nor cause to beundertaken any campaigning on the day ofpolling.

And further, any candidate whosoevershall contravene or cause to be contravened,these regulations shall be immediately andforthwith declared by these presents, inelig-ible.

Quid pro quo, animus ferandi, feraenaturae, nulum bonum, ratio decidendi . .and so on. Nuts.

Hello, chowderheads.This is your old Uncle B. on his weekly

prowl through the half-bitten olives and spill-ed drinks of the human cocktail party, doingjanitorial duty in print.

He wishes to say that many a jubilantdelinquent has been tried, and found wanton.

He also wishes to say (sorry, George) thatmany a woman's New Look will prove to beher long suit.

And - if anyone is still with him at thispoint - he also wishes to say something abouta toothy little news item which appeared,suitably garnished, in a Vancouver daily;and which was to the effect that a womandoctor now upholds the right of adolescentsto flirt.

Flirting, the lady medic declares, "is acivilizing influence - properly done, it is partof the art of living."

The doctor said that flirting could betabbed as "necking" — or any other thing —but it involves "trying to please other people."

Flirting, she said, also taught co-operation.

SCIENCE IS FOR ITThe same news item quotes a member

of UBC's department of sociology as being inqualified agreement with this view of things.

If flirtation is interpreted as a chance toget better acquainted before marriage - ratherthan after it - then science is for it, thesociologist is reported to have said.

Boy oh boy oh boy. Vive le science.They limited this to adolescents. And

they Wisely stopped short of giving a fewpointers on the Art of Flirting.

The first practical difficulty may be short-ly disposed of by saying to hell with it—cubes good for adolescents is good enoughfor us, too.

The second practical difficulty is not soeasily disposed of. Happily, however, your.*Id Uncle B., who was quite a flirt himselfin his day (it was due to his success thatburlesque houses instituted the custom ofhaving a husky bouncer patrolling each aisle)is in a position to drop a few hints on Co-operation Between Citizens; or, Beyond theFrontiers of Science—What?

To begin with, you must remember thatthough we are stealing the adolescent's thun-der, we must perforce limp along without agreat deal of his lightning. More boom thanban, so to speak, when you reach your age.This automatically rules out such activitieson your part as offering lifts on your bicycle

Student elections at UBC have developedinto forlorn box socials—due in large part tothe hopeless complexity of these regulations.

The net result is that candidates areafraid to attempt anything unusual for fearof incurring the wrath of the omnipotentelections committee.

The real danger, however, lies in the factthat the greatest single threat to student gov-ernment—apathy on the part of the studentbody—has its roots in this parlour gameroutine that occurs every year about thistime.

Open up election rules and we shall have,if nothing more, at least some interest. Prettygirls, huge posters, bands, elephant parades,may sound a little fanciful but they would bean improvement over the quiet little audi-torium addresses and the formula-followingposters we now enjoy.

Far from prejudicing the success of anelection such freedom would allow candidatesa fuller opportunity to demonstrate their in-genuity. Fact is that we are often inclinedto be a little over-serious about our sacredheritage of self government. It should beenjoyed; not laboured over.

and doing handstands on the pipe fencessurrounding these lawns.

HELL ON WHEELSIt also rules out such acts of flirtation

as roaring furiously through the streets, inan old model car, one drooling head and oneprehensile arm projecting from a window, insearch of "quail." (No wonder they quail).

If you must have flirtation on wheels,you must learn to draw your car up gentlybeside the other citizen, step out, doff yourHomburg, and say: "I hope you don't thinkI'm being forward, but —" Streetcar trans-portation being what it is, you're almost cer-tain of success.

Another variation on this theme is todrive slowly past the citizen who is the objectof your affection, and toss a large box ofchocolates at her feet, doffing your Homburgas you pass by. This is known as the HighClass approach; and is certain to arouse curi-osity. The next box you toss should haveyour calling card enclosed.

But you get the idea. Smoothness iseverything.

Restrictions of space prevent us fromdetailing such other tried and tested mediaas The Look (the Friendly, the Soulmate andthe Burning - this last best simulated byplacing a shred of tobacco under the eyelid).Then we have the Political Approach; theParty Approach ("do you come with thedrinks?") and that old master-stroke, theDouble Gambit Sally (which your Uncle,pressed for funds, will divulge on writtenrequest for a paltry ten cents.)

Meanwhile we give you, gratis, the oldTried and True Entree, developed in the Cafin 1936 and never failed since.

Pick out the citizen in the Caf with whomyou wish to flirt. Send a waitress to her tablewith a ham sandwich. On the sandwich standsa toothpick; and from the toothpick flys anote, with the words: "Where Is It?" Keepthis up for three days.

At the end of three days, go to hertable in person, and say: "Where is it, DreamGirl?"

Then, when she replies, in accentshammy: "Where is what, Dream Man?" yousay:

`The key to unlock those golden chainsyou have wound around my heart, DreamWoman." Then you take her hand. Bothhands.

And if that doesn't do it, nothing will.

LETTERTO THE EDITOR

President,The University of BritishColumbia,Dear Sir:

Isn't it possible to utilize thedull Wasserman other than as awriter for a Student's Newspaper?

The enclosed sample of a uni-versity education (Test Cases—January 6) is worthy of neitherstudent nor "peasant" consump-tion. The sLtirical humour, ob-viously meant, is obliterated bythe adolescent stupidity of thewriter Wasserman.

It is extremely unfortunate thatthe University Supervisors don'texercise some restraint in thepublication of such tripe.

Read the article—don't assumethis to be a hollow complaint.

"Livingstone has been consistent inhis campaign for Grant but not forgrants," he quipped.

Gordon Martin, president of the So-cial Problems Club felt that Living-stone's charges were ill-founded.

"Starting from the assumption thatthe legion is an organization for vet-erans (including Communists) let himspecify what particular charges goto make up this discrediting, obstruct-ing, slandering, seriously affecting thereputation of, etc., the legion."

In making doughnuts, some 150pounds of shortening are requiredevery week to maintain supply. Theyprovide doughnuts and pastry notonly for the Caf and the snack barson the campus, but for the tables atFort and Acadia Camps.

Bill revealed that several home ec-onomics girls come in regularly foron-the-spot baking experience underthe supervision of second cook HarryWatts.

REST PERIODS

"Some of the girls like it for restperiods and some like it for work,"said Harry, "but I wouldn't like tobe quoted on that.'

Bill, who spent over five years withthe Royal Canadian Navy as pettyofficer cook and baker, brought theTotem bakery into active productionlast January.

"Increased demand for our productand installation of new equipmentfinds us rather cramped for space,"he said. "But we hope the situationwill soon be remedied."

From the sidelines .. .. . . by Dick Blockberger

HAL, HOW COULD YOU?We suppose all of Hal Tennant's reading public has read his

crime against humanity which was published in last Thursday'sisue of the Daily Ubyssey, -- all one of them, that is.

We feel rather sad about the whole thing. As a matter offact ,we feel rather strongly about being criticized by an ilia-erate peasant whose oral English is a curious mixture of Hinctur tstani and Lower Basin Street slang. We could stoop to 11,4mecalling — we could mention that Hal was dishonourably dis-charged from the Sports Department for the unspeakable, cr,imeof ogling the feminine reporters, or that it is a well-known factthat he is a confirmed dope addict, — but we shall fight fair,and mention none of these things.

Aux Armes ...It was only with a great deal of difficulty that the higher

authorities of the Student Publications Board were able to re-strain the infuriated mob of sportswriters from lynching Mr.Tennant last Thursday. (Just a point of interest, Hal donned adisguise of long green whiskers and thick sun glasses, and man-aged to elude his blood-maddened victims. However, we arepleased to report that the supporters of the Sports Departmenthave rallied 'round the banner, and taken up arms in the defenceof all we hold sacred. Presented below are some of the commentsof our allies, suitably deleted of profanity .. .

Luke Moyls, Sports Editor 1945-46: "Tennant is obviouslyfrustrated."

Laurie Dyer, Sports Editor 1946-47: "He's mad. Stark, ravingmad."

Al Hunter, former Associate Sports Edit= "They shouldlock that — up in the US Immigration jail for a while. He'sdangerous!"

So far, there has been only one misguided reader who hasvoiced her agreement with Mr. Tennant. The fact that the readerhappens to be my girl friend only adds insult to injury. Yes,Hal, you have ruined a beautiful friendship.

Forgiveness?But Hal, we on the Sports Desk are charitable. We under-

stand that you are frustrated, mad, and should be locked up.I realize that you have had designs on my girl friend ever sinceyou first saw her. Yes Hal, realizing all these things, we forgiveyou, albiet a bit reluctantly, but we forgive you. (Our halware shining, and our strength is as the strength of ten, becauseour hearts are pure.)

SPORTATORIAThis weekend presents a marvellous opportunity for ad-

venture loving devotees of sport to enjoy themselves. Playingon Vancouver Island will be three campus athletic aggregations,Thunderbird rugby players and their small brother team—Sopho-mores will be playing in Victoria on Saturday afternoon. TheUBC hockey squad will be playing Saturday night in anotherIsland tilt at Nanaimo.

The games deserve some student support, and already theMamooks are planning on sending cheer leaders and majorettesto the Nanaimo fracas. The whole setup strikes this departmentas being a "natural"—a natural chance to have a good time,and at the same time give the Blue and Gold a little well meritedsupport.

We can remember other trips to Victoria and Nanaimowhich ended up as howling successes. Both cities love students.Large crowds are always attracted when the Thunderbirds playon the Island.

And when there are large sports crowds anything canhappen.

What are we getting around to saying? Well, it seems to usthat a round trip to all the games wouldn't be very difficult.hop 'a plane or midnight boat to the Capital—see the ruggergames—and then hitch hike, or take a bus, up the Island toNanaimo. It all sounds pretty good to us.

Nanaimo is a wonderful place to spend Saturday night (weknow, don't we Bruce), and the boat to Vancouver leaves in themorning.

Here's a wonderful opportunity to rally to a good cause—our own pleasure. As a campaign slogan we can only say—"Remember Bellingham."

Victoria will be host to the Blue and Gold S aturday. In keeping with the traditional legendof Thunderbird invincibility the Varsity rugger squad is scheduled to fly to the Capital Cityfor the third game in the annual British Columb is championship series. It will be the first timein history that a UBC team has flown to the Is land for a McKechnie Cup game,

The Victoria Crimson Tide, a re-presentative team of McDonald. Parkstalwarts, are expected to give thecampus lads 'a bitter fight. Still freshfrom their Boxing Day victory overVancouver Lions, the Islanders arerated as a powerful squad.VARSITY STRONG

But campus and local rugby mogulspoint out that Al Laithwaite's stu-dent fifteen is one of the "hottest"teams ever assembled on the PacificCoast. With a backfield which is al-most the same as last year's winningcombination, and a forward line ofexperienced .players the Blue andGold is odds on favorite to win theafternoon tilt.McKECHNIE SERIES

The McKechnie Cup series, whichhas been played this year with abroken schedule, was won last yearby the 'Birds by virtue of theirdouble wins over both Vancouverand Victoria. This year two gameshave been played. On November 11the Blue and Gold took a decisionover Vancouver at Brockton Bowl,and on Boxing Day the Crimson Tidejust managed to nose out Vancouverin Victoria's McDonald Park.

Four more games remain on thisyear's slate. Victoria will travel tothe Stadium for one game and toBrockton Bowl for another, whilethe invasion by Varsity, on Saturday,and a Varsity versus Vancouverscrap is in the Stadium later in theseason.INVASION PLANS

The use of air travel, and thetravelling of the Majorettes to Nan-aimo for the weekend hockey gamewill curtail the number of studentfans who will journey to the Islandfor the games. Fans who had beenlooking forward to another "Belling-ham" type invasion will be disap-pointed that the expedition cameso soon after Christmas.

Accompanying the undefeated 'Birdswill be a Varsity sophomore Ruggeraggregation, which is slated for anexhibition preliminary in the samecity.

Bird Hockeymen To MeetWhite Hawks Wednesday

Smarting under a recent 6.5 defeat at the hands of Van-couver White Spots, UBC's hockey playing Thunderbirds willskate out on the Forum ice tonight, in quest of their initial 1948win at the expense of B. C. Electric's White Hawks.

According to Frank Frederickson,head coach, the students will climbto a .500 average after tonight. Andhe added that Saturday night inNanaimo would see the 'Birds wellabove .500, after they have playedthe Clippers in the Coal City.

The line-up will be the same asthat which dropped the heart-breakerin New Westminster last Sunday. BillHouse, who turned in some remark-able work between the pipes in spiteof the six pucks that slipped byhim, will again don the pads fortonight's encounter, leaving CaptainBob Saunders free to join Terry Nel-ford on the first defence.

Koch, Andrew and Berry will formthe first line of attack, with Young,Torfason and Wagner on the second.

Gus Reid, who was injured slightlyin the White Spots game, will beready for tonight and will centreJim Rowledge and Jack Lerbecknoon the third line. The "third string"was really flying for the first twoperiods last Sunday, until Ried wasforced out of the game with a badlycut eye.

Ready for relief duty on the rear-guard will be Rookie Bob Peeblesand Mal Hughes. Peebles showedwell during the time he was on theice Sunday, while Hughes showed awillingness to mix it with the opposi-tion's forwards.

The lead see-sawedback and forth between the twoteams. Then with the score at 4-4,the Betas went on a scoring spree thatstopped only when they had a 12-4lead. The Phi Delis fought back andhad eleven points before the Betaswere going again. Second game score:Betas 15, Phi Delta 11.

Both teams now had a game apieceand they settled down to a pitchedbattle for the volleyball crown. Scor-ing again was very even and the leadwas first lost and then won by thePhi Delts.
