ICE CRUSTATION formed on the bottom of the five inch model caisson shortly alter it was cracked from th erock under a torque of 1500 pound inches, over four times the force to which it might be subjected on Ripple Rock .

Ripple Rock, widely celebrate dnavigational hazard in Seymou rNarrows. may soon he remove dthrough the application of a re -volulionary device conceived by

J1C1( Lubzinski, fourth year phys-ics student .

Lubiinski's proposal, seen byPublic Works experts as "remark -able in its very simplicity invol-ves the use of a modified caissondesigned to freeze to the rock b ythe action of dry ice and alcohol .SOLID FOUNDATIO N

Floated in at low tide the caisso nwill be solidly and permantly at-tached to the rock, the wate rpumped out, and drilling opera-tions carried on from the inside .

In this way drilling an .A tunnel-ing can be performed from a soli dfoundation, The inability to estab-lish such a foundation is the chie freason for the failure of the form roperations from anchored scows,when the current proved too

strong to allow permanent moor -jag.

On completion of the drillin goperations tihe tunnels will b echarged with explosive, the cals -50'l removed, and the rock will b edemolished .COST LO W

The total € xpenditure involve din Luhzinski's plan s but a frac-tion of previous budgets since theentire operation will probably cos tless than $100,000 . Proposals sub-nutted to the Department of Pub -lie Works up until now havemounted as high as $9,000,000.CRAMPED QUARTERS

Lubzinski first conceived theidea as a project in Physics 19, a nexperimental course offered i nfourth year . With the cooperationand encouragement of Dr. H. D.Smith, popular Physics professo rwho has since left the Universit yto head the Nova Scotia ResearchCouncil, Lubzinski saw the appli-

cation of his idea and develope dit experimentally .

In a bug series of experimentscarried out in the basement ofthe science building L .bzinski conchided that Ws model caissonwhen frozen to a trial block o fgranite approximating the actua lconditions of Ripple Rock, woul dsuccessfully withstand a torqu eat least four times the proportion -al force to which the full size cais-son will be subject in operation .

With the aid of informationgathered in his Investigation Lu-bzinski has calculated that a freez-ing mixture of dry ice and alcoholwill produce a sufficiently lowtemperature to freeze the ciasso nsolidly to the rock in 25 to, 30minutes . Since the rock is expose dfor aproximately 35 minutes a tlow tide a considerable safety ishere introduced .VARIED TALENTS

Further application of the freez -

ing mixture will be required onl yto overcome conduction losses.

This lastest inspiration is notthe first time that Lubzin .ski ha sCitjOCdI the scientific limeligh tlii bridge designs have twiceearned him recognition in the past .A model of his suggested Marpol eviaduct crosing horn the airport isnow on display in the ProvincialParliament Buildings .

The release of synthetic rubberwas all that prevented the produc-tion of an ersatz wooden tire de-veloped by Lubz.inski several yearsago .

Only last year he displayed agroup of drawings at the Art Gal-lery involving a revolutionarymathematical Interpretation of per-spective, in which he demonstratedthat straight lines diminishing toa point at a distance do not appearas straight lines but as exponentialcurves .

INTER U GROUPSAt the NFCUS conference sev-

eral committees were establishedfor study of Canadian inter-uni-versity problems, Among the mat-ters to be investigated are furthe rreductions in railway rates forstudents, inter-university debatin gon a national scale, inter-collegiateathletics, and student employment .

USC undertook to make thestudy of employment problems ,e.specially in referexic'e to the ex-odus of graduates to the UnitedStates, the transfer of graduate sfrom province to province, and th erelations of veteran students topost-graduate employment .

ATHLETIC COSTSDuring the discussion on inter -

collegiate athletics in Canada ,TJBC's delegates, mindful of las tyear's Hardy Cup losses, took thestand that USC could resume ath-letic competition with other Can-adian universities only if the oth-ers we:'e prepared to assume areasonable share of the financia lrisk involved .

The federation elected MauriceSauve, of the University of Mon-treal, as president for 1947-48 . Italso decided to ask UBC President ,Dr. N. A. M, MacKenzie, to beHonorary Px'ctsiclent of NFCUS .

" I AM A CANADIAN "Like millions of other people in Canada ,

university students are returning to thei rtasks this week graced with a new title . For,since January 1, those millions can proudly ,and legally, say "I am a Canadian. "

This week—Canadian Citizenship Week—serves to provide solemn acknowledgmentthat under the terms of the Act which cameinto force on New Year's Day there is nolonger need for most residents of this coun-try to doubt their legal nationality . No long-er will native born Canadians, or othersproperly qualified, have to hesitate whe nthey are asked what their nationality is .

In brief, the new Canadian Citizenshi pAct provides that native born Canadians, o rBritish subjects domiciled in Canada, bride sof Canadian servicemen, and all those whonow possess naturalization certificates aredeclared to be Canadian citizens immed-iately . It further sets out clearly the statusof future would-be Canadians, clarifies theposition of Canadian women marrying me nof another nationality, and wipes out con-fusion previously arising through the opera-tions of the old Naturalization Act, the Cana-dian Nationals Act, and the ImmigrationAct .

Most of us are far too busy these daysrunning around confirming the beliefs ofour dearest friends and severest critics—the Vancouver Public—that we have littl etime for such frivolities as lectures. Ouronly interest in chemical analysis, for in-stance, lies in the investigation of the con-tents of a twenty-six of Lord Calvert . Ourknowledge of physics is limited to the knac kof making an internal combustion engineconk out when we reach a remote spot onMarine Drive. And if we do manage to bein sober attendance at any other class, it' sonly for the purpose of dating up the cur -rent blond for the next week-end spree . Butnever let it be said that we take these taskslightly .

Purely CoincidentalBut most of us learned early in December

that there were soon to be examinations insuch trival subjects as analytical geometry ,graphic statistics and English literature. Pro-bably this topic reared its ugly timetablewhen we had gathered in four 's and five'sfor the usual purpose of not discussing poli-tics. But then some people, will let anyconversation go to pot after they get a fewcokes under their belts . The net result wasthat most of us temporarily gave up theidea of trying to chisel a free gymnasiumfrom the innocent citizens of British Colum-bia, and decided to settle down to work .Henceforth we would limit our alcoholicbinges to three a week, our immoral dis-cussions to one a day, and our quota of cigar-ettes to a pack an hour . We might even doa little homework . But then there was nosense in overdoing things .

Now that our dear old alma

terra firma has covered the hang -

over or low-point in her sola r

orbit, we begin to plan the things

we 'd like to have "Did Last Sum-

mer " . This calls for resolutions

and it looks rather necessary afte r

gazing at the sanguine complexion

of the panted Toties pocket dia-

pers .

Before prodigies progeny, 1947 ,

gets around to showing whether

he intends to live up or live down

past reputations, It may be well to

consider, just in passion, the

effects of the New Years lot im-

pressions . Dilettante match-maker s

are eagerly throwing the chaff a -

round to all and sundry, but we

do think a few grains of whole

meal would be illuminating.

Even the warden of our campus

jug got into the spirit of things

Within the maze of legal phrasing an dtechnicality of the Act there lie two prin-ciples which should be of especial concern touniversity students, who stand within reac hof most of the benefits that Canadian citizen -ship can bestow. One of those principlesprovides that the young men and women o fthis country may now unhesitatingly pro -claim to the world that, though they retaintheir Commonwealth status as British sub-jects, they independently and individuallyare Canadian citizens .

The other principle is linked with th ecletermination'expressed in the Act to en-courage the education in citizenship forthose applying for naturalization . In connec-tion with that determination the principlehas been set out that a duty exists to createa sense of understanding and toleranc eamongst the Canadian people.

Here is one place where university stu-dents, dedicated as they are, or should be ,to the search for enlightenment, can tak ethe lead. For even a Canadian CitizenshipA.ct endowing people legally with Canadiancitizenship will be of very little vlorth t osome people if they are not accepted a spartners by all of their fellow citizens .

Observing such reforms as these, most ofus successfully managed to cheat our wa ythrough the exams, and it was only theabsent-minded minority who, in failing tosmuggle their crib notes into the exam room ,allowed themselves to be cast into the cold,cruel world, far from the glittering glamourci the campus .

Let Us ReflectSurely there should be some recognitio n

given those who have achieved such a prem-ature mastery of the BAC's of college life .All I ask, dear readers, is that you turn you reyes from the pages of your latest copy o fBreezy Stories and observe two minutes o fsolemn silence in memory of our dear, de -parted brethren.

No longer theirs is the carefree socialwhirl of the campus . No longer theirs isthe priceless isolation from the troubles ofthe Outside World . No longer theirs is th esheltering arm of our Alma Mater, afford-ing to us the protection so vital to the de-velopment of our immature minds.

No longer theirs is the privilege of attend-ing such an institution of learning famed forher sheltering of the weak and helpless ,encouraging of the lazy and ambitionless an dprotecting of the play-boy and the draft -dodger .

Now, as our few seconds of meditationfade before us, let us add a word of con-dolence for those who have failed that ou rUniversity be a better, and a roomier plac ein which to loaf . Our lips are as one as wesay to you, the BAC's of '46 : GOOD RID -DANCE, YA BUMS!

Citizenship

On New Year's Day the Canadian Citizenship Act cam einto effect . To remind its readers of some of the outstandin gfeatures of the Act The Ubyssey herewith lists some of th ehighlights ;

Before attending the nationalconference in Toronto, Kirkpatrickstopped off at Winnipeg for a reg-ional conference among UBC, andthe Universities of Manitoba, Al-berta, and Saskatchewan . At Win-nipeg the four western delegatestalked over their own problemsand prepared a common stand ansome problems on the agenda ofthe national conference .

It was also decided at Winnipegto rotate the position of westernregional vice-president of NFCUSamong the four universities, lead-

ing off in 1947-48 with Saskatche-wan .

The following courses will be

offered in the 1947-48 session :

(a) A 3-unit course in the History

and Criticism of Music, without

prerequisite, limited to third and

fourth year students who take th e

course for credit. Students wh o

claim six units of credit for th e

A .T .C.M. or other degree in musi c

additional credi tto be given no

for this course .

(b) A first or second year course

of 3 units open to students who

course to be one of a series that

EXEMPT

Students holding the A.T.C .M. or

other recognized degree in music

to be exempt from one or mor e

of these courses, upon recommen-

dation of the head of the depart-

ment, but no credit allowed for

the degree in !music for their case .

in the absence of any nationall y

accepted standards such as exis t

in the field of music, the senate

committee which studied thi s

problem, made no recommenda-

tion concerning the granting of

credit for work in the fine arts .

It was suggested that the Van-

couer School of Art investigate th e

possibility of setting up an er-

amining body which might ulti-

mately establish a standard simi-

lar to that represented by the

A.T.C .M. in music .

J . M. Barrie's play 'What Ever IWoman Knows" will be thePlay- ,ers Club's spring presentation .

FIRM BASISThe three delegates returned to

Vancouver after Christmas to tellof several decisions taken by thepress organization through whichit hopes to place itself at last ona firm financial basis . Chief ofthese decisions of interest to UBCis the commitment of all the mem-bers to pay into a travel pool bywhich centrally-situated universi-ties will help to defray conferencetravelling coats of Maritime andfar western universities.

They disclosed also a plan forreorganization ;of the wire ex-change plan which was adopted atthe 1945 conferencebut which laterproved too costly. Under the newplan, the three central bureaus, atMcG'h, Toronto, and. Manitoba,will be retained, but members ofCanadian University Press willpay into the bureaus on a slidingscale in accordance with theirneeds .

Success of last year's festival

which was the culmination of th ehopes of all drama enthr'iasts i nthe western universities ensure dthe making of this fetttiv.i an an-nual affair. Last year the Uni-versity of Alberta contacted th eUniversities of Manitoba, Saskat-chewan and British Columbia toarrange the first drama festiva lheld in February 1946 .

UBC HOSTEach of the universities will act

as host to the other three withU1#C playing that role this year .Arrangements for the festival are

under the direction of the dramsfestival committee,' Whlwir' hItfenJerry Williams as chairman, Mur-

ray Sager businessman, Jim Argue

The revised plan is intend"d t oprovide insurance for all mem-

ber papers that they will alway s

be covered by other CUP papershi cases where they require speedyreceipt of antra-university news .

A new service set up this year

was a weekly CUP Features Ser-

vice, to provide mailed feature ar -

ticles of interest to all Canadianuniversity students. It will be op-erated by The Ubyssey . This Fea-tures Service will also distributespecial sports stories to be gath-ertd by The Varsity.

An inventor of note, Chief Lis-ter designed a CO2 bomb sprink-ling system as a safeguard forbuildings, and a goose-necked cel-lar nozzle for the fighting of firesin restricted places . He first sug-gested the idea of the famous Joh nFife hose-clamp which was de-signed by a former tecluucian inthe Mechanical Building i,oh thecampus . This hose-clamp en-ables the changing of the nozzle

LACK FORESIGHTOn the opening day of the con-

ference, H. W. Jamieson, super-intendant of university training fo rDVA, told delegates that the pre -sent policy of the government di dnot foresee any increases in stu-dent veteran's living allowances .

"I am directed by the minister ofVeteran's Affairs to inform youthat the government will not con -skier any alteration in the presentscale of maintenance grants," hesaid .

Later, a resolution was passedurging the government to considergranting cost of living bonuses tostudent veterans, taking into ac-count the increase in cost of livingsince establishment of the grantscale.

The conference also recommend-ed that the government grant ful lallowances to veterans receivingpensions, whose maintenance grantsare at present scaled down accord-ing to the size of their pensions .

Also passed were resolutionsurging liberalization of DVA-sponsored student loan funds,granting of text-book allowancesand of special commuters' allow-ances.

DRAMATIC INCIDENTMost dramatic incident of the

conference was the forced resig-nation, of president Len Starkey ,following a non-confidence voteduring a special session fromwhich the press was excluded. Itwas charged that Starkey was anavowed Communist and had abus-ed his office for political purposes .He was, however, asked to remainas a delegate for the latter part ofthe conference in recognition forhis organizational work.

A proposal to combine the ac-tivities of the National Counci lof Student Veterans and those ofthe National Federation of Cana-dian University students was voteddown. Opposition came mainlyfrom universities and trainingschools not affiliated with NFCUS,

UBC Fire Chief Retire sAfter 18 Years Service

Oswald L. Lister, one of Canada's outstanding fire -fighting authorities, Chief of the University's Area Fire De-

partment, and a familiar campus figure since September 1928 ,retired last week. He has been succeeded by T. W. Murphy,Captain in the department since 1927 .

Chief Lister has a distinguishedrecord of service. He planned theformation of the volunteer fire-men who served in London duringthe late war as the Corps of Cana-dian Fire Fighters . In December1941 he assumed command withthe rank of lieutenant-colonel, ofall fire fighting services in theCanadian Army . In World WarI he was a sergeant of artillery ,serving in the same platoon as Dr .G. M. Shrum, now head of theDepartment of Physics.

Chief Lister organized the ARPin the University Area during thewar, and was president of thePacific Fire Chief Association ofwhich he was the founder,

An enthusiastic athlete, hliasalways been keenly interested inorganized sports, especially cricketand baseball ,

"A fine all-round athlete and all -round fireman", in the opinion o fthe men in his department, he wasalways ready with advice an dhelpful suggestions .

Chief Lister's place has beentaken by T. W. Murphy who ha sbeen Captain in the departmentsince December 1927 when hetransferred from the VancouverCity Fire Department, The newCaptain is R. F. McPherson ,

UBC's achievements in providing accommodation for itsstudent veterans formed the basis for much of the discussio nregarding housing at the National Conference of Studen tVeterans at Montreal, December 27 to 29, according to GrantLivingstone, UBC Legion Branch president and delegate t othe conference .

Livingstone, who was elected t othe National Council of StudentVeteran's as representative forWestern Canada, will present a ful lreport on the conference at aLegion Meeting early next week.

VAJDA CHOOSES FIFTEE NFOR UNIVERSITYSKI MEET

THE SAME OLD STORY ?So we've done it again. , . Once again, scribes are wan-

dering back to the Pub to go back to 'work. . . It's a sure sign

that another term has begun after a short, but sweet, holiday .

And quite a holiday it 's been for yours truly . Of course ,

itwouldn 't be a holiday unless we had done something jus ta little out of the usual. To be sure, there were three thingsthat will stand out in this scribe's memory for quite a whil e

to come .

The first thing involves Christmas and the worthy ide aof receiving gifts from the old boy with the white whiskers.Imagine a Christmas without any handkerchief or any book swaiting under the gaily-lighted tree! ! Undoubtedly this i sworth remembering .

The second thing came in the form of winter and snow .Just imagine, snow on the evergreen playground! ! Ah, bu tit all provides a lot of sporting fun for the kids—even the big-ger kids around University age, Ah now don't tell me yo udidn't go skiing on the local golf course or sleigh-riding downthe nearest hill.

Jingle Bells In StyleYes, it was most considerate of the kids in the district t o

get the nearest hill into tip-top condition for the older one sto sneak out at midnight with little brother's sled in one armand the best girl friend in the other! Ah, me! !

But then there was a third thing that won't be forgotte nany too easily . There were four nights of tossing and turn-ing in a sleeper, followed by five days of Toronto-life andthen four more nights on the sleeper . Yes, kiddies, now Ican say that I have seen Bay Street .

Toronto was the site of this year's Canadian Universit yPress Conference and it was a very thrilled sports editor thatsaw the coin come up "heads" . So there I was on the wayto the great East .

When we got there, it was too late to obtain tickets fo rthe hockey game to .be played the next night at Maple LeafGardens . It seems that Toronto won though, so it was th esame old story .

Hockey, Hoop Are Big-Tim eBut this Map, Leaf Garden is certainly all it is said to

be and then 'some. It's really a tremendous place to say theleast . It 's only too bad that we weren ' t there long enough t osee the next game .

They also play a bit of pro basketball with some of theeastern cities in the States and in Canada. While we wer ethere, the Toronto squad defeated a smart quintet from Ne wYork. This really seemed like the big time stuff that youread about in the papers .

The Conference itself was held at the University o fToronto. This gave us a chance to take a look at the fame dHart House which sits proudly on the campus with its loft yspire reaching upwards to the heavens, Most of the buildingson the campus are not built in the latest styles, but unlike ou rdear old Arts Building, they are really quite grand, in thei rold , age .

We Find An Old Frien dIt was here at Hart House that I met an old friend o f

UBC's. Former Thunderbird star, Alt Johnson was holiday-ing in Toronto after a hard first term at Perdu. Together w etook a look at the swimming pool and the gym .

The pool is a 75-foot affair and is seven feet deep at on eend. It has a balcony around the top which makes it perfec tfor spectators . Many a great swimmer has made his wa yaround the waters of that pool .

As for the gym, although it is of course, not one of th enewest, it is one of the best equipped qyms that I have seen .Actually, it is divided up into parts. There are sections forboxing and wrestling, weight lifting, apparatus work an dthe spacious basketball courts, Sports in Toronto are reall ysomething .

Yes, it was quite a trip . Toronto threw out the "Wel-come" mat in grand style . In fact, it was a grand Christmas .

VARSITY TAKESSWEET REVENGE1N RUGGER TIL T

Campus Rugby players celebra-ted the Yuletide season in a bigway when they met Vancouve rReps in an all-star match on Box-ing Day, Although the "Bowl"game was threatened by rain, anenthusiastic holiday crowd watchedthe Blue and Gold of the studen tteam plough over the Vancouverteam to the tune of an 8-3 count .

It was sweet revenge for thestudent thirteen who suffered adismal defeat at the hands of thesame team in a previous encounter .

Spectators were impressed by

the speed of the new thirteen mangame which allows unlimited sub-stitution. Both teams appeared tobe polished and familiar with theimproved style of play.

Added attraction to the gamewas the drawing In which all thepaid admissions had a part. Prizesof nylons added the proper flavorto this first in what is hoped to b ea long line of little "Bowl" games .

Chiefs Win, Los eIn Weekend Tilts

Varsity's hoop warriors, the ef-fervescent Chiefs, kept to the mid-dle of the road during the festiveseason, maintaining their grip o nthird place in the five-entry Sen -ior A loop with a win and a lossin the last two Yuletide tilts.

Friday eve saw Doug Whittle'sBlue and Gold scalpers bow be-fore an inspired .Adanac crew ,when the Royal City crew wen thoop crazy to outpolish the etude sto the tune of 52-34 count. How -ever, the boys from the campusunleashed their hatchets in ven-gance pn the Laurie Pierates onSaturday eking out a slim 48-47decision over the Liddlemen .

All boxing and wrestling en-thusiasts are due for a test of theirprowess in a very few weeks inthe UBC Boxing and Wrestlin gchampionship intramural card .

This meet will be a history -making episode in the life of UB Cboxing and wrestling activities forit is the first all inclusive intra-mural card to be held on the cam-pus.

Winners of the various classeswill have their names posted o na plaque to be hung in the Mem-orial Gymnasium when it is e-rected .

It is expected that menloers o fthe UBC Fencing 'Vero along withother ci te' fencers will play a

• :ehdfng role in the affair ,STUDENTS PREP

During the Christmas holidays ,Hale Atkenson, Director of the'UBC Fencing Club and in charg eof the Physical Education Fencin gclasses coached a good number o fVarsity students In preparatio nfor the affair .

The Vancouver, The B .C. Prov-incial, and the Pacific Northwes tFencing Championships will pre -cede the nation-wide duel. Mr. At-kinson, who is also Fencing Com-mittee Chairman of the B. C.Branch of the Amateur Athleti cUnion of Canada, is in charge o fproceedings ,

To provide some diversifiedcompetition, the Varsity sordwielders hope to engage the Uni-versity of Washington in a home-and-home fencing tournament i n'the near future .

Local hoop fans shook theirheads ominously as the tour-tiredCanadianp visited Oregon's firstcity to open the Pacific Northwes thoop card, for the Birdmen hadtrudged through two states withnary a win in four exhibitionmatches against American collegeteams.

Ron Weber, the most sawed-off

member of the UBC roster, went

hemp-happy, to amass a convin-

cing 42 points during his two ev-

ening performances .

Harry Kermode, who usuallyranks second to none among th eBlue and Gold point-getters, Diasbeen played during the last fewgames with a twisted ankle. PeppyPat McGeer, another crack score-man, has also gone down on th ecasualty list, H6s ailment in acharley-horse .

Thus it was during their Wash-ington-Oregon tour that usually -moderate point-getters came to th efore, somewhat relieving the ef-forts of the former top men .

TAKE LUTHERANS

The campus maplemen tempor-

arily wound up their home efforts

by out-caging the Pacific Lutheranvisitors in a 74 .60 exhibition ef-fort /three days before Christmas ,but their luck ran out when they

hit the road for their holiday trip .

The Lutherans found their rangeon their Parkland home court inWashington, and blasted the Bri-tish Columbian with defeats of54-51 and 48-43 on December 27and 28. The Canadian trudgedsouthward to Portland to meet aweary defeat when Portland Uni-versity's 'Pilots took over the con-trols and sent the visitors into atwo-night nose-dive . The affair onDecember 30 saw the Pilots speed-ing to a 56-52 victory, and follow-ing through the next night witha shattering 60-33 win.

HOMEWARD BOUNDThird and fourth 'conference

games, scheduled for last night an dtonight, wind up the travels o fthe harrassed hempmen when theyface the Pacific Badgers on th eForest Grove 'courts ,

A pair of wins under such weary-ing conditions, say the armchai rboys, would do more than a lo tof credit to the Blue and Goldoutfit, which has been on the mov esince December 26 .

Next Friday and Saturci y,nightsthe number one UBC Troop squadwill play hosts to the Linfiel dWildcats in t;,te first 1947 PNWConference contests north of theforty-ninth ,
