Their discussion of plans for re-modelling the office along "moresuitable' lines, including the additionof a bar and a modern ventilationsystem was interrupted by the arrivalof Livingstone and AMS TreasurerBob Harwood.

Livingstone refused Joker demandsfor space, stating that he must havesome proof of the strength of num-bers of the allegedly defunct clowns.

Harwood attempted to quell theJoker demands by asking for "con-crete" suggestions as to how theAMS Council is expected to houseall the clubs on the campus underpresent crowded conditions.

Ticket Sale For SaturdayTrip Off To Good Start

The first problem UBC physics students had to solve whenthey moved into their still-unfinished building this week was:"Why can't we hear the carpenters banging out in the hall?", And the answer was to be found

THE DAILY UBYSSEY

Thursday, October 9, 1947

The tempest-in-a-teapot concerning cafprivileges hit a new high Monday night whenGrant Livingstone pronounced a ruling ofthe chair denying representatives of the DailyUbyssey from reporting council discussionof the problem

Livingstone's ruling brought a storm ofprotest from the editorial board of the news-paper.

His reasons are obvious. He did not wanta re-occurance of the difficulties he exper-ienced last week when the Ubyssey carried afactual report on the original council action:not to council's approval.

Although the Ubyssey does not wish totake any editorial stand on the question ofeaf tables, it does most certainly wish to keepthe student body informed on the dispositionof council on this, and on all other matters.

We cannot, however, fulfill this functi; n—the very foundation of the constitution ofthe Ubyssey—if its reporters are to be barredfrom covering the meetings of the campuslegislators.

Actually, the Ubyssey represents youronly check on council. If the Ubyssey is bar-red, council is left free to do as it wishes.This, in the name of the students, but withoutthe knowledge of the students,

THE MAD TEA PARTY

"I give up," said Alice, "what DOES hap-pen to the other $30,000?"

Alice looked down the long table towhere a bulky form, in a red sweater wasdipping a slide rule into his cup of tea.

"That's just what I said," the scarlet formretorted, "what DOES happen to the other$30,000?"

Alice was just going to say 'I don't knoweither' when the Scienceman stopped stirringhis tea and began to work the slide rule backand forth with a speed that astonished Aliceconsiderably.

"Don't interrupt!" the scarlet man bark-ed. Alice hadn't said a word.

"But I didn't say a thing," Alice pro-tested.

"Copy cat," he jeered. "You were talkingbut you didn't say a thing. Trying to copy theprecedent set by the Engineer spokesman atthe AMS meeting, eh?"

"But I wasn't trying to copy anybody,"cried Alice, getting more perplexed by themoment.

"Don't interrupt," the Engineer retortedagain. He was working the slide rule at aterrifiic rate, dipping it every so often intohis tea. Around his place at the end of thelong table were tiny tea stains caused bydrops that had spattered off the slide rulc...from the rapid motion of his calculations.

"Anyhow, I've almost found it," he con-tinued.

SUGAR IS SCARCE

Alice was just going to ask how he ex-pected to find sugar in his tea when he hadn'tput any in, but she Inas afraid of being toldagain not to interrupt.

"Would you like some sugar," Alice en-quired politely.

"Would we ever!" he chortled. "Aboutfive thousand worth." Alice wondered whyhe would need five thousand dollars' worthof sugar in one cup of tea, and with sugarso scarce, too.

"Well, it's right in fret of you," Alicewas trying to be helpful. "But there's notfive thousand dollars' worth in that littlebowl," she added.

The Scienceman was peering very closelyat his slide rule. "Of course not!" he snapped."It's right here somewhere. Now lemme see.Five symphony concerts divided by fivethousand Sciencemen. That's a thousandSciencemen per concert. That's great isn't it."

"I guess so," said Alice, hesitating, "but

We will be the first to concede that a cer-tain degree of censorship is to the publicadvantage, and mutual good. But we feelthat the Ubyssey can make its own dbcisions.

We do not wish and we do not intend tobecome the tool of the student council.

Furthermore, Livingstone's action is en-tirely unconstitutional. Nowhere in the codeor constitution of the AMS is there any clauseor even inference that council meetings areclosed.

Attendance at the regular Monday nightmeetings is open to all students. The formalityof requesting permission is normally observ-ed but such permission cannot be refused.

Finally, we strongly believe that theelected representatives of the student body--elected to represent, mind you—should beheld responsible for what they say and forwhat they believe. It is not sufficient that thestudents be informed only of the motionspassed. They must be told the complete story.

We ask the student body to come to thedefence of the Daily Ubyssey. We ask thatthey urge their representatives on the Under-graduate Societies Committee to make a re-commendation that no such untoward actionbe taken in the future,

•I thought the Sciencemen didn't go to thesymphony concerts."

"Of course we don't!" he snapped back."That's why it's great. We can stay away inthousands and still have Sciencemen left overto go #to the banquet."

Alice was going to ask why the sameSciencemen who stayed away from the sym-phony concerts couldn't go to the banquet."It would sort of save manpower, too," shethought to herself,

"Yes, it would save manpower," theScienceman agreed with her.

"I didn't say anything," Alice said.

IT TAKES TIME"Don't interrupt," he said. "Besides, we

gotta work out a schedule." He slipped theslide rule back into his tea cup and warsdividing the little tea stains into groups withhis drafting pencil. "Now lemme see," hemused. "I can't possibly stay away from allfive concerts."

"Why not." Alice asked."Too busy, stupid!" he said, "Far too

busy.""But it doesn't take time to stay away

from concerts," Alice protested."Of course it does!" the Redshirt ex-

ploded. "If you stay away from the concertyou have to be somewhere else. And if youhave to be somewhere else, you can't possiblygo to the concert. And if you haven't got timeto go, how can you possibly find time to stayaway?"

Alice didn't know. "But why couldn'tyou just stay away from two or three andgo to the rest?" she said.

"Riff raff!" said the Scienceman. "Didyou ever go to a symphony where they servebeer, and everybody brings a bottle and getstight as hell?"

"No, and I wouldn't want to!" Alice wasannoyed at the grinning, vulgar monster inthe red sweater.

"Well, we do!" he chortled. "And isswunnerful. Precedent, I mean. Free banquetsfor twenty-one years. Everybody gets tightas hell." He winked slyly. "And all for free,too."

"I guess that's what happens if you gettoo much sugar in your tea," thought Alice asshe got up from the table. "And listen to himnow. He must be hungry again. Or why elsewould he be sitting there shouting for fivethousand clams?"

'Oscar; First Year Pig,Is Resident UBC Student

Don't be surprised if you see a pig strolling in for a lecturein the Aggie Pavillion—it's just Oscar. the pet of the AnimalHusbandry Department

Oscar was due for an early trifto pig heaven but was saved by BudMcLeod, former Thunderbird hoopman, now assisting in the AnimalHusbandry Department.

Like the old woman in the shoe,Oscar's mother had just too manychildren so Oscar was turned outin the cold. (There were thirteenin the litter and she was superstitious.

Spurned by his family, Oscar took

to the bottle and under Bud's tenderc a re, grew surprisingly well.

He was kept for a week in one of

the guinea pig cages of the animal

nutrition lab, here he subsisted on

cow's milk, Outgrowing this diet he

took over the digestion stall, usually

used for feeding trial, where his

diet was cham,Yecl to a gruel of calf

meal and warm milk. Two weekslater he was ready to take it straightand switched to dry meal and milk.

"The Engineers ought to back youalright," Livingstone put in, "theirbudget was a bit of a Jokers' effort."

The Jokers left the President withtwo alternatives. Either he is tomove in with the Fish and GameClub and give them his office per-manently, or the Fish and Game clubwill have to move into the President'soffice and let the Jokers carry onin their old quarters, members ofthe club said.

"And as for the Outdoor Club,"they said, "well, it's an outdoor club—so it ought to be outdoors!"

'Birds SeekInitial WinSaturday

Still gunning for their initial Am-erican football victory, UBC's up-coming Thunderbirds move to Bell-ingham this Saturday for an exhib-ition set-to with Western Washington.

Proud of their showing againstCPS last weekend, but still regrett-ing the way the game slipped throughtheir fingers, the 'Birds will be allout for a win Saturday.

And if the old adage, practice makesperfect, has any virtue in it then theKabatmen should be right in there.With fundamentals now completelymastered, Kabat has been concentra-ting on backfield timing this pastweek and, results have been encour-aging.

VIKINGS TOUGHWestern Washington will be no

pushover, however. The Vikings arerated as the best in the WINCOleague and the WINCO loop is justone step down from the Pacific CoastConference.

Meanwhile, Marnooks have comple-ted arrangements with Great North-ern for a special UBC train to carryrooters to Bellingham. The trainleaves Great Northern Station Satur-day at 3 p.m., arriving in Bellinghamabout 4:45.

Upwards of 500 UBC students areexpected to take advantage of thespecial $2.45 return fare, Also inclu-ded in the passenger list are cheerleaders, drum majorettes, Arthur Del-amonte's University band and theVarsity pipe band.

Hoop SquadsNow Training

Once again basketball has begunits pre-season attempt to outshinethe brilliance of the UBC Americangrid machine.

Casaba mentor Bob Osborne hasalready started regulating and div-iding practice time among the variedteams, and ex-Birds and ex-Chiefshave been turning out regularly sinceUBC opened.

STARS RETURNFrom last year's starry aggregation,

Bob Haas, Harry Kermode, Pat Mc-Gee•, Johnny Forsyth, Jimmy Mc-Lean, and Nev Munroe have returned.

Lentham and Mitchell from the1946 Chiefs will also be out withTrey Shaw, Pete Walker, Suds Sou-therkincl, Dougie Bell and Big BillBell, as well as a host of other "name"players.

NEW MENSome pretty fair hopefuls have been

seen on the maple courts in the lastfew days. Standouts are Art Phil-lips and Rob Abercrombie from lastyear's Dunbar Team.

Things don't look too good for theIntermediate prospects this year.

Latest word from Vancouver hasit that the Varsity teams will not beallowed to participate in the inter-cityleague play. It is hoped however thatthe Physical Education Departmentwill be able to organize a sort of"house system" to allow men of in-

termediate age and ability to play

a little ball in their spare time.

thi' way we will be able towatch fm: good players; and preparefor their advancement up to betterteams," says coach Osborne.

HOMECOMINGFirst chance for the eager crowds

to see the Thunderbirds team in ac-tion will he on Homecoming Night

when they will meet the Grad's teamin their annual tiff.

FEM BIG BLOCK

There will be a meeting of theWomen's Big Block Club, Friday at12:30, in the Mildred Brock Room.Important, all members present.

Bleuchel is confident that his teamcan't lose a meet this year. Last yearthey lost only one, to the Universityof Washington. However, after ex-ams in the spring the UBC plankstars spent six weeks at GaribaldPark training under Peter Vajda,chief ski coach for Western Canada.Next month a special instructor fromthe States will train the boys inwhat proved last year to be theirweakest spot, jumping. At presentthe team trains up Mount Bakerevery weekend and sandwiches fourP.T. periods a week between lectures.

CHRISTMAS MEETThings will really get hot around

Christmas time when the boys pre-pare in earnest for the U.S. NationalIntercollegiate Championship to beheld December 28 at Sun Valley,Idaho, It was at this meet last yearthat the UBC dew were nosed outby only a few points by Washington.This year with Washington deprivedof three of their key men, Bleuchelis sure that the Varsity boys willcome home with the silverware,

UBC wil be the defending champsat. the Canadian Intercollegiate skimeet at Banff in February. Othermeets feature team work, but atBanff the boys have a chance togain glory for their individual efforts.

EXPERIENCED MENGarvin Robinson, who holds the

Western Canadian downhill andslalom championship, is a cinch tocop honours there. Arnie Teasdale,John Frazee, Doug Fraser, Don And-erson, Don Fernside, George Woodand Gordie Cowie won't be far be-hind Gar. All but Fernside andWood were stalwarts of last year'steam, and have benefited by theirexperience.

Don Fernside is a terrific asset,for the boy shines in jumping. Lastyear at the Northwest Pacific Inter-colleg;ate Meet he won the jumpingcontest!

In March the spotlight will shineon Martin Pass, the home slopesOf University of Washington, former-ly UBC's only competition. Onceagain Bteuchel reminds us that U ofW are minus three of their stars, Etn dVarsity should hold the title of theNorthwest Intercollegiate Meet, too.

RUGGEREnglish Rugger practices for

ten us ore being staged every after-noon on the tipper field at 3:30. Allcandidates for Varsity and UBC en--

tries are urged to turn out to thestadium immediately.
