HOMECOMING BALLTo CLIMAX FROLI CMeds StartNear RiotAt McGil l

MONTREAL (CUP) —A nearriot today ended a McGill Uni-versity Student Society meetin gcalled to consider a five dolla rincrease in Student ExecutiveCouncil subsidy to the Medica lUndergraduate Society .

Crux of the matter was a M'USmotion which would have am -mended Student Society consti-tution, giving the Meds an in -crease of five dollars over th epresent one dollar grant . Th egrants are given the under -

• graduate societies on a per mem-ber basis ,

Each of the undcrgrad socie-ties get only a one dollar allot-ment .

The Meds complaint was tha ttheir different curriculum andacademic year prevented the mfrom participating in regularstudent activities and that con-sequently they needed more mo- 1ney to organize their own func-tions .

Main argument against MUSwas that the new policy wouldcause disunity among the stu-dent body as a whole .

Assembled students bega nshouts and demonstrations whenit became evident that the Med swere going to try to coerce th emotion by means of their larg emajority . They held 450 placesin the siat hundred-man assem-bly room .

The chaotic condition force dstudent president Louis Donol oto adjourn the meeting .

Later in the day . a specialMUS meeting voted to deplor eDonolo's "grossly undemocra-tic" methods of running themeeting . They decided to peti-tion the McGill Senate an dBoard of Governors for a chang ein the allocation .

GUEST.EDITORIALS-

Welcome Home, Alumn iYou'll notice many changes on the campus. New build-

ings have gone up even in the past year . Those of you who'vebeen away for ten years or more will hardly recognize th eplace. The faculty has changed too—and grown in size . Thereare now 65 members in the Department of English !

But don't let these outward appearances deceive or disap-point you. The university hasn't really changed, and the bes ttraditions set by Brock, Klinck, Buchanan, Sedgewick an dby you are still carried on . The emphasis is still on qualityand as many flunk at Christmas as in the past . The Ubysseyand the Engineers perpetuate their ageless feud. We still playsports for the fun of it and we lose or win just as gracefully .And "Tuum Est" is still a challenge and a call to action .

You'll say—as we all do sooner or later—that "thing saren't as good as they used to be" . The university was smaller ,you knew all of your professors personally and nearly every -body in your year . You worked harder and perhaps had mor efun . Maybe you're right—who can tell ?

But you missed a lot of things in the old days, when th euniversity was small and the growth less rapid .

Size may have its disadvantages but as yet we are no taware of them . We are aware of the excitement that growt hhas brought, and we'll hazard the guess that life at UBC i smore stimulating and more rewarding now than ever in th epast,

Welcome home — and we hope you feel at home .

Sputnik I, II EtceteraBy ART SAGER, Director of Alumn i

We hope there are a lot more Sputniks . Two or threewill scare people and make good newspaper copy until Christ-mas and then well get hack to drunken drivers, petty doing sof petty politicians and the '58 dream cars ,

We'd like people to be scared for a long, long time, Per-haps then they 'll do somethiyg about finding the answer t oSputnik .

We know the answer and we've known it all the time.Russia has invested more in the education of its youth tha nwe have . Russ has strengthened its people by enforced self -sacrifice of material things; for us life is incomplete withou ta two-car garage .

By PETER KROSB Y

Assistant Director ,

UBC Alumni Association

Tonight at 6:30, a very spe-cial gathering of UBC alumn iwill take place on th ecampus ,a gathering of former stu-dents with a record ofundergraduate achievemen twhich will forever be remem-bered with gratitude by al lstudents who went throughthese halls of learning afte rthem .

They are the Great Trek-kers, the students who, b ytheir own persistence andfaith, succeeded In gettingUBC moved from the "Fair-view shacks" to the presentcampus at Point Grey .

Tonight they are returnin gto the campus to celebrate th e35th anniversary of thei rachievement with a dinner inthe Brock Memorial Building ,a building which • itself is ' atestimony to the spirit of stu-dent achievement which the ycreated .

OLIVERThirty-five years ago to -

night, on November 8, 1922,Premier John Oliver of Brit-ish Columbia announced agovernment grant of $1,500, -000 towards the constructionof a UBC campus at Poin tGrey, and construction on th esite was begun at once .

This was the achievemen tof the Great Trekkers who mwe are welcoming to our cam -pus today, and this is thestory of how they did it .

In the days when UBC wa shardly more than an infant ,a gallant band of students ac-cepted the challenge contain-ed in its university motto :"Tuum est " — it 's up to you !They staged a publicity cam-paign which showed the gov-ernment of British Columbi athe need for building UB Con its present site, and theyset a standard of student en-deavor that has . been a con-stant inspiration of succeedinggenerations .

In 1911 the B.C . govern-ment passed an Act grantin gUBC its present site . Tendersfor four buildings were calledfor the following year, and in1914 construction was begu non the Science Building, whichnow houses the Departmen tof Chemistry, and the "Aggi ebarns . ,"

FAIRVIEWThen came World War I and

construction was halted . UBCopened its doors in 'tile "Fair -

Vancouver

view shacks" at Tenth Avenu eand Laurel, now the site o fthe Vancouver General hos-pital . But in 1919 the shackswere completely inadequate .Students were joined by rat sin classrooms, where the roofswere about to fall in . Classeswere held in tents, a churc hbasement, attics and nearbyhomes .

Early in 1922 the 1,176

strong student body bega nagitating for action in build -ing the Point Grey campus ,and on their return to classesin the fall they formed th ePublicity Campaign Commit-tee. Headed by AMS presiden tAb Richards, this committeeconsisted of Marjorie Agnew ,Betty Somerset (now Mrs . J .V. Clyne), Percy Barr, BrockMcLeod, Jack Grant, Jac kBrown, Jack Clyne, John Al-lardyce, Al Buchanan an dAubrey Roberts .

A news service and a house-to-house canvass for petitio nsignatures were organized .Students set up a booth at theexhibition, addressed dinne rmeetings and audiences fro mthe stages of Vancouver thea-tres and radio station CKCD .One student even set up asoap box in a downtown pool-hall . Another rode the Fair -view street-car all day i norder to collect signatures.When the names on the .peti-tion reels were finally count-ed, they numbered a total of56,000 .

PARADEA gigantic Saturday morn-

ing parade through the mai nstreets climaxed "Varsit yWeek," October 22-29. One ofthe floats consisted simply ofa huge sardine cell on th ehack of a truck and was label -led "Sardines, Varsity Brand ,Packed in Fairview . "

From 10th and Sasamat theparade marched along a hors etrail to the campus, where th estudents each threw a ston einto a growing pile in fron tof the unfinished ScienceBuilding, stones later fashion-ed into the Cairn which to -day is to be seen on the MainMall lawn .

"Varsity Week " met withalmost immediate success . Thecause of the students wa staken up in Victoria by theRt . Hon. Ian McKenzie, the n1VILA for Vancouver, and o nNovember 1 a student delega-tion went to meet the Cabinet .The House :Adjourned its busi -

ness to hear them, and th e_Vancouver World reportedthat Ab Richards made a "stir-ring and convincing speechto the House, "

Then followed the an-nouncement of November 8 ,and the following day theWorld carried the bold head-lines : "The University Will B eBuilt . "

"In the years to come, "wrote the Daily Province edi-torially, "when, as mature andinfluential citizens, they shal lcontemplate the universityestablished at Point Grey, theymay look back on their earl yshare in this development withmuch satisfaction and no sel freproach ."

Tonight the Great Trekker shave every reason to contem-plate what they see on thi scampus with "much satisfac-tion." 1 he university has beenbuilt and has developed, andthe students-who have passe dthrough it since 1922 havekept the tradition establishedby the Great Trekkers alive .Viewing the campus today,the veterans of 1922 will see$3,000,000 worth of buildingfor which the students them -selves have paid .

AGAIN

They will have heard of th eSecond Great Trek of 1956-57, initiated and carried ou tsolely by the students and re-sulting in the announcemen tby the B.C . government tha tit will match to the extent o f$5,000,000 donations to theUBC Development Fund fromalumni, the public and indus-try .

They will learn that the stu-dents, in addition to all tha tthey have already done fo rthe university, in a recent gen-eral meeting indicated thatthey were overwhelmingly infavor of assessing themselvesanother $5.00 annually forthree years in addition to thei rpresent fees, to promote theconstruction of student resi-dences, and that they will vot eon this proposal in a referen-dum next Wednesday .

The Great Trekkers wil lfind that their example hasnot been forgotten on the cam -pus they helped establish .They will find that the lessonthey taught in 1922—"if othersfail, we can help ourselve s—has been well learned .

The Great Trekkers havegood reason to celebrate to-night !

To Replace Toronto ?Let 's hope we can build our Sputniks without slavery o f

the mind and spirit .

We are university graduates and — let 's be frank —we're the only people who can really do anything about it . Alot of business leaders and most politicians still think of teacher sas second-class citizens, and schools as detention homes fo rpotential delinquents .

If we want our children to live in freedom, and in peace ,its out . job to see that Ca ►rada invests billions — not millions— in the only DEW line that will never be obsolete —EDUCATION .

And it 's our job too, to put your money on the line —as a token of faith and hope .

The following article is reprinted fro m

The Ryersonian (Institute of Technology) ,

Toronto .

The West Coast metropolis is carving ou ta place for itself in the world of Canadianwriting and acting so that it will eventuall yreplace Toronto . As in the U .S .A ., whereNew York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, al lpert cities, lire the leader's in art and writing ,Vancouver will one day replace this town .(Toronto) .

Vancouver coinbines the majesty of en -circling mountains, the atmosphere of a bust -ling port never too busy to welcome a tram psteamer, the joy of miles of beaches on which

recline this country's best upholstered girls .It has the warmth of Fredricton, the zes t

of Calgary, the gaiety of Montreal, the rich-ness of Toronto and yet the solidarity of Sas-katoon .

Vancouver wears a mantle of green aroundthe year . A walk in Vancouver is a treat formind and body .

Vancouver has the best newspapers, th emost fabulous college campus, the smartestskyscrnper in the country .

II has the most trees, the best-kept lawns ,the finest city park of any in the Dominio n

It's a big-small town which welcomes yo u,\ ith an invitation to live right . It is Canada' smost pre-eminently livable city .

Great Trek Birthday Feted .,Before .

But NeedsGrowingEach Yea r

By AL FORRESTUbyssey Managing Edito r

Happy homecomers thi s

weekend are celebrating the

thirty-fifth birthday of th e

Great Trek .

Almost 9,000 students will

join alumni in the annua l

frolic .

When alumni come home i n1972' to celebrate the GreatTrek's fiftieth birthday, theywill be joined by an estimated25,000 UBC students .

The first birthday of th eGreat Trek saw the start o fUBC ' s first building — th e

Chemistry building — afte r

ground was broken for the pro-ject in 1922 .

The picture left shows th e

building half completed. Thepicture on the opposite pageshows how it looked upon com-pletion in 1923 — and how i tlooks today .

UBC now has 350 buildings .

Only 26 of these are permanent ,27 semipermanent and the res tare wood huts built during th ewar .

President N . A . M. MacKenziehas outlined UBC's presen tneeds as one dozen new build-ings, No estimate has been an-nounced of the number of build-ings needed to facilitate 1972' sexpected enrolment of 2,000 .

Present needs, according toPresident MacKenzie, are :

Pre-clinical medical sciences ,

faculty of commerce, architec-__

ture, agriculture and forestry ,

~' fine arts, education, residences ,engineering, a wing .on the bio-logical sciences building, addi -

tional library space, social sci-

ences, and a new chemistry

building .Estimated total cost is around

$25,000,000 .Student residences are fa r

short of needs, according to aUbyssey survey. Student resi-dences accommodate 297 wo-men, 772 men and 120 marrie dcouples .

THE UBC FOOTBALL SHAMBLES

MUST DO SOMETHING NO WBy RICHIE EUSTIS

FormerThunderbird Quarterback

Football, the great fall pas -time everywhere else in North

America, is the great fal l

shambles at the University,o f

B .C .

For at least a decade ,

Thunderbird football team s

have been delighted to achiev e

even mediocre success in their

games with U .S. (and lately ,

eastern Canadian) opponents .

And now, with UBC ' s foot-

ball prowess reaching a ne w

low, something must be done .

Something must be done ,that is, if the view of the JohnsHopkins University adminisra •Lion that "the athletic program

. . . is conducted on the premisethat it is an integral part o fthe educational process and hasa rightful place in the academi ccommunity" is to be recog-nized .

No athletic program tha tplaces a football team in thep r o g r essively - demoralizingposition now occupied by th eThunderbirds can be consider-

ed successful .

Steps Being Take nAdministrative steps — slow ,

plodding ones, but steps, a tleast — are being taken t oremedy faults in the UBC athle-tic program. Football will like-ly come under special consider-ation as the major sport pro-gram most in need of overhaul-ing .

T h e highly controversia l"Beck report" on athletics, sub-mitted to students' council andMen's Athletic Committee las tMarch, contained se v e r a 1recommendations pertaining t ofootball which would, if carrie d

out, allow UBC to compete suc-cessfully in the Evergreen Con-

ference .The MAC compiled its oer n

report, based on Beck's, and

forwarded it to the senate an d

board of governors . Now, a

senate committee on athletics ,

headed by Dean A . W . Mat-

thews of Pharmacy is inves-tigating the MAC report, th eBeck report, and reports fromthe Alumni Association and acommittee on Physical Educa-tion .

The Matthews committee isexpected to hold public hear -

open to anyone wishing

to make a submission . Its find-ings, however, are not likely

to he presented to the senate o racted upon until next year .

in Evergreen football competi-tion has been the obviousstumbling block .

Buttthere is another bridge

that would have to be crossedif UBC were to offer athleticscholarships in number enoug hto produce a winning footbal l

team .

When the new, talent-richThunderbirds became an ,Ever -green Conference power, othe r

conference members would de-mand that UBC, because of it s

large student enrollment, join

conference play with univer-sities of similar size .

That would mean entry int o

the Pacific Coast Conference .

Wonderful . But financiallyimpossible .

Thunderbirds would have t oplay their home games in theonly suitable playing area —Vancouver's Empire Stadium .They would be playing game son Saturday afternoons an dcharging admissions almost o na par with those charged b ythe , Canadian professiona lteas . The professionals woul dbe providing better football en-tertainment at the same loca-

tion a matter of hours after

each college game ended, Van-couver football fans are no tcollege-minded enough to mak ecoast conference football apaying proposition in Vancou-ver .

Western LeagueBut another switch in con-

ferences — a switch to a wes-tern Canada league — can an dmay be effected . Since the ide awas first broached to the Uni-versities of Alberta, Saskatche-wan and Manitoba, a decidedchange in their attitudes to -ward the scheme has com eabout .

Saskatchewan and Albertaare in favor of forming thealliance immediately, B o t hschools are expanding, and

climbing upon the footbal lbandwagon is an easy metho d

of justifying large budgets an d

better athletic facilities .Speculation is that the ad -

ministration of these two uni-versities have indicated the yare willing to meet extra cost sjust to get the league operating .

Manitoba, however, is n olonger included in conferenc eplans. A refercudua to enabl eManitoba to enter was voteddown by students after a cor-responding increase in tuitionfees was threatened .

After this Evergreen Confer-ence season, the UBC studen tbody will probably favor themove, even though a slight ad-ditional expense is involved .

The "tvilhdratval" of Mani-

loha Icatvet a hap that mus tlei filled if the conference i s

to be successful . Any tvillin g

eollcge in the West prob-ably he accepted .

ExpensiveIlut eylx'n o lit irat'ellin : ; .

as critic's of the plain arc quickto point out, cornet lead to i1 t

collapse within three or fon tyears It the league were no tof sufficient calibre, footbal lattendance — at U13C at leas t— would increase only neg-ligibly, putting the entire finan-cial burden on the athleti cbudget .

The probable situation i s

this: In a western conference,

UBC would field the strongest

football team for the initia ltwo or three seasons. After that ,

aided by provincial footbal lrulings that junior league play-ers attending universities mustplay varsity football or not a t

all, the other schools would

strengthen .

By. then, the junior footbal lleague in B .C . would have

been subjected to its inevitable

re-organization, and similar

rulings concerning junior play .

ers would apply here .

In the western league eligi-bility rules would not be a sstringent as those of the Ever -green Conference . UBC coulddraw players from law school ,

education and post graduate

work .

Eventually, the western con-ference would be on a par wit hthe eastern intercollegiate lea-

gue .If only psychologically, th e

entry of UBC into the propos-ed conference would be a ben-efit to campus football .

But to compete in the Ever-green conference successfully ,WITHOUT giving out scholar-ships, would be even better .

Minors ReorganizedTo do it, UBC has only to

reach a player-raiding agree-ment with minor football : anagreement, incidentally, whic hminor football in Vancouver i smore than willing to make .

The Vancouver junior lea-gue (in which almost two doz-en UBC students play football )is sympathetic toward UBC ,and realizes the player pro-blem . League action to pre -

vent UBC students from play-ing on junior teams unlessthey are ineligible to play forUBC or not able to make thevarsity team is a likelihood i nthe near futu r e .

But the junior league mus tiron out its own problems be-fore crying about UBC . Firs ton the agenda is the rearrange-ment of Vancouver's highschool football system .

For12 years, local high schoolteams have distinguished them -selves as the only ones i ► 1 theworld to play football in lat ewinter .

English rugby has been th eginne traditionally played i nthe fall . Slowly . (hat is chang-ing . At its last meeting theinter-high lea ;;ue \Ant withi na few votes of st'itc'hing foot -hall to the fall and rugby t othe spring .

nile football league (in whic hten teams now compete) . Itwill be replaced by the hig hschool league. Junior players(by ruling) will be those notattending high school or uni-versity .

Player Classificatio nA system such as the McClo y

system used in Alberta wil lprobably be put into practice .In the McCloy system, hig hschool students are categorize daccording to their physical abi-lity . Each prospective hig hschool player's age is multi -plied by 20, his height by si xand the sum of the two pro-ducts added to the player' sweight . Those totalling 86 0or less play junior classifica-tion, and those under 960 playsenior classification high schoo lfootball .

Students over 960 play out-of-school junior football .

Under this system, UB Cwould be drawing from an ex-cellently organized and highl ycompetitive high school lea-gue, and also receiving playersfrom a top.grade junior setup .

The only thing retarding th efull-scale re-organization, sa yjunior league officials, is thehigh school league's insistanc e

on making football a wintersport .

Aid From LionsProbably the most mooted

football topic is the suggestio nthat B .C . Lions give financia laid to players attending UBC ,on the understanding that theplayers would play professio-nal football for Lions afte rgraduation .

The drawback, of course, i sthe national college footbal ldraft . In the draft, Canada' snine professional teams tak eturns selecting the graduatin gcollege football players the ywish to employ . The poorestpro-football team in the coun-try gets first choice, and so on .Players who want to play fo rteams other than those whic hhave chosen them just do no tplay professional football i nCanada .

Current talk is of an abolish-mild of the draft, because i thas so far been of no grea tbenefit to any professiona l

team .

I1 has also been suggestedthat B .C . Lions could 'arrange 'to have athletes they sponsore din University play for onlythe Lions on graduation .

Interviewed by telephone o nWechlcsday, Lions' genera lmanager Herb Capozzi, wh oplayed football for Thunder -birds in 1148 before going o nto play eight seasons with th eMontreal Alloucttes . said thereis no indication of the colleg e(Iralt folding, and it it highl yunlikely lions c~~uld 'ii'muuig ean :* el~'aft duel ;;in

Current Bird s

That leaves the UBC Thumderbirds flailing about in theEvergreen Conference for a tleast two more games . Twogame§ they are very unlikel yto win .

Let's look at the Thunder-birds . Are they really tha tbad? At first glance, one i scompelled to say "yes", theyare really that bad .

Thunderbirds have lost sev-en straight games . They havebeen outscored by over twohundred points . They have forthe most part played unexcit-ing, almost dismal football .They sometimes display an ap-palling lack of know-how.They make mistakes in gameswhich are, as one U .S . paperstated, "almost comical . "

Birds Not Ba d

But at closer inspection ,'Birds aren't really as bad a tthis game of football as i tseems . `They began this seaso nas they have all others—withhigh hopes that this would bethe "big year . "

Illness and injuries in th efirst two weeks tore gapin gholes in their player roster .Eligibility rulings shaved a nadditional few players fromthe team . Three weeks intothe season, the nucleus of theThunderbird team had all butvanished . Only a few reliablg sremained . By then, Thunder-birds were well into the nose -dive . Demoralization and dis-sension are two very differentthings . Birds are demoral-ized .

Gnup The Coac h

Frank Gnup, on the otherhand, is the eternal optimist .But what can one head coachand one assistant do with ateam composed in the main o frelatively inexperienced play-ers who are expected to pla ywinning football against well-trained athletes ?

Gnup can do only so much .In his demanding job he ha slittle time to teach rookie play-ers the intricacies of footbal lthey should have learned a shigh school players . He needsanother two or three assistan tcoaches if he is going to haveany chance of shaping a con -tending team from availabl ematerial .

So there is the situation : noplay, rs . not enough coaches ,poor organization, and no mo-ney . Take your choice of th esolutions .

Weeds are a menace to railroad men . They area fire hazard ; wheels slip on them ; they hold mois-ture which rots the ties and undermines the road -bed ; they make maintenance difficult . More than50 kinds of weeds grow along the tracks. Some di eeasily and stay dead—but many are too tough forordinary weed killers .

When Mobil scientists developed a promisingnew oil-based killer—AGaoN'Yt . R—Dr. Janes tookto the tracks to check it out . It killed the weeds ,all of them. Moreover, it's heavy and doesn't blo won to adjacent farmland . It leaves a film that dis-courages new growth (and also helps keep th etracks from rusting) .
