BEATE N BY VISITOR S FROM OREGO N Monroe Doctrine A s Applying To Eas t Is Resolution DECISION DECISIV E By a house decision of 26 . 6, the Parliamentary Forum sustained th e arguments of a team from the Uni- versity of Oregon, on the negativ e of the question : "Resolved that in th e interests of world peace, the Unite d States and Great Britain should rec- ognize a Monroe Doctrine for Japa n in the Orient. " Debating for U.B.C . were All Carl - son and Sam Lipson . They were op- posed by Bill Hall and Howard Kes- sler of Oregon. Opening the debate for the affirm- ative, All Carlson outlined the prin- ciples of the U.S . Monroe Doctrine . "The U .S.A . will allow for no Eur- opean aggression in the Americas . W e believe that this has been In the beat Interests of peace in the New World . And a Monroe Doctrine for Japan would have similar results . "At present we see China in a stat e of chaos—armies marching through the East . The state of affairs in the rest of the world has accentuated this . "One strong nation is needed to control affairs in the east . We be- lieve that Japan is the ideal natio n for this . " Bill Hall, speaking for the negativ e opened with a contrast between th e American and Japanese policies . "There is no analogy between the American Monroe Doctrine and th e proposed Japanese plan . When the L' .S . put . forward tl}e Mont oe Doc - trine, there were no spheres of in- fluence carved out . Further, the U .S . had vastly more potential power . "The U .S . has carried out a dua l policy . . . one for countries capable of governing themselves, the other for the Caribbean nations, who ar e not very civilized, and have wea k governments , "Japan wishes to determine th e foreign policy and trade of all nation s in the East . And America and Grea t Britain cannot afford to withdraw . They have too much capital investe d in China . Sam Lipson carried on the argu- ment for the affirmative . "The U.S . reserves the right to de - fine, interpret, and carry out its Mon - roe Doctrine . It is only fair that Japan should have the same right . The only solution for China and th e East is industrialization, Japan ha s already carried this out within it s own borders. And it is able to carr y it out in China . "The foreign trade whicn Grea t Britain would have to give up if sh e had to withdraw from China is onl y 1 .6 percent of her total foreign trade . " Howard Kessler closed the debat e for the negative . He quoted the Lyt- ton report to show that, while Japa n is ostensibly going into Manchuku o for iron and coal, there is really littl e of these two products in the country . "Japan's only interest in China i s as a market . And they will want t o expand further after they get thi s far . In the Philippine Islands ther e is a mine containing enough iron or e to keep Japan supplied for a hundre d years. " Speakers from the floor followed . After all had spoken, the debate wa s closed by Sam Lipson . The vote gave the decision to Oregon . It was announced that the fina l Forum meeting of the year woul d take place on Tuesday, March 17 , when the question to be debated wil l be "Resolved, that in Canada, Eas t is East, and West is West, and neve r the twain shall meet .

Howard Kessler, originally from Lethbridge, Alberta, but now takin g journalism at Oregon, was surprise d to find that the editors of the Ubys- my get no salaries . "In Oregon," h e said, "the editor gets $400 a year, th e business manager $400, and the man - aging editor $200, while the advertis - ing solicitors get a percentage of the proceeds from the ads they bring in . "The paper is usually conducting a campaign of some sort, At present, It is crusading for a more vigorou s inter-fraternity council : une with teeth, and with something to sin k them p into, The council is accustomed to being held in on a tight leash . "As for student government, it I s of the usual political type to be foun d in American universities . " "The less said about the govern- ment the better," declared bill Hall . "All difficulties end by being refer - red to the constitution and the Judi - cal Committee . The constitution is practically non-existent . They re - vise it every year, and always leav e out something important. " John Casteel described debating i n Oregon . "The club is given a budge t from the funds of the Associated Stu - dent Body," he explained, "and is directed by faculty members . "The number of debates with other universities is limited, but the mem- bers of the club speak to women's clubs, the Kiwanis, the Rotary Club , and many others on subjects rtinginf from farming and grain to politica l problems. "Afterwards the audience ask s questions . It is excellent experienc e for the students and they get int o some funny situations . "One group is making a barnstorm- ing tour of Southern Oregon . These discussion are not strick debates : we call them Symposium . Different speakers give different points of vie w on the same question . At present we are giving a series of fifteen min- ute discussions over the state radi o system, one each Friday night . " Bridges Will For m Institute Subjec t "Some Modern Bridges" is the titl e of the Vancouver Institute lecture t o be given on Saturday evening i n Room 100 of the Arts Building of the University of British Columbia . Th e speaker will be Professor Allan H . Finlay, of the Department of Civi l Engineering at the University . While the development of bridges will be briefly sketched, and refer- ence made to typicl examples of thi s form of engineering, Including th e great structure now under erectio n between San Francisco and Oakland , the bulk of the lecture will be de - voted to the great bridge at Sydney , Australia . The lecture will be fully illustrated by lantern slides, mnay of the view s being taken from the air . The chair will be taken at 8 :15 b y Mr . George E . Winter, the Pi esiden t of the Institute .

Players' Club offer their an - nual spring production at the Uni- versity Theatre next Thursday, Fri - day and Saturday. With all the style and elegance o f a bygone ere, "She Stoops to Con- quer" combines a verdant, earth y quality of true comedy which has act- uated its successful presentation i n London alone in practically every de- cade since 1795. Sincerity and humour of character - Ization impart to the play that spark - ling vitality which has preserved I t so well . English types as real as the nation itself live in this comedy ; th e lusty, genial, country gentry ; the re - fined and exquisite aristocracy ; and the Devon yokels whose stolid quaint- ness Is so delightful .

Major Jenkins discussed th e use of Producer Gas as a fuel fro m 1791 when it was first used for illum- ination to the present time whe n large nations are converting, on a wholesale scale, gasoline engines t o producer-gas engines . One large mine in South Africa wa s quoted as having cut down consump- tion of wood to one-fifth by conver- sion from steam to producer ga s power . It was stressed that the grea t advantage of wood gas will be for mines which are far from soarces o f gasoline supplies and where the cost of gas is high . These mines coul d make their own charcoal and sav e very considerably in so doing . Work of the Forest Products Lab - oratory has shown that trucks usin g producer gas generated from charcoa l can operate at a cost of .27 to .28 cents per ton-mile, whereas thos e usin gasoline are costing about .57 cents per ton-mile . The cost of a producer gas generator is about $30 0 In Vancouver .

Gas DiscussedAt Forest Club

At the Tuesday meeting an inter-esting talk was given by Major J. H .Jenkins of the Forest Products Lab -oratory . Major Jenkins discussed th euse of Producer Gas as a fuel from1791 when it was first used for illum-ination to the present time whenlarge nations are converting, on awholesale scale, gasoline engines toproducer-gas engines .

One large mine in South Africa wasquoted as having cut down consump-tion of wood to one-fifth by conver-sion from steam to producer ga spower . It was stressed that the grea tadvantage of wood gas will be formines which are far from soarces ofgasoline supplies and where the costof gas is high. These mines couldmake their own charcoal and sav every considerably in so doing .

Work of the Forest Products Lab -oratory has shown that trucks usin gproducer gas generated from charcoalcan operate at a cost of .27 to .28cents per ton-mile, whereas thoseusin gasoline are costing about .57cents per ton-mile . The cost of aproducer gas generator is about $30 0In Vancouver .

Battle Tuesday

SPEECHES MONDA Y

Nominations for President of the

Alma Mater Society closed Tuesday

night with only two candidates in therunning. Jay Gould, this year's La.E. President, will be opposed by Wil-son McDuffee, prominent lower .

Gould has had a varied life, rang-ing from travelling salesman to log-

ger. He was out of the university forseveral years, but returned two years

ago to complete his course. He In-

tends to go into law as a life's work.

During the last two years he hasbeen a prominent member of the Par -

liamentary Forum . Starting list spring

when he participated in a debateagainst Washington, he has debated

for U.B .C . often. This fall, he touredCanada with Maurice Western of th eUniversity of Saskatchewan, winningmore than two thirds of his debates .

He is also a member of the Players'Club, where he has done much work.

Wilson McDuffee, starting as Prem-ier of the Taxis Older Boyd Parlia-ment, has had experience as an ex-ecutive. He is a well known memberof the S.C.M. and of the I .R .C.

He has been an outstanding rower,and is now in Oregon with the crew .It was due partially to his effortsthat rowing received a raised rating.

Debating is also one of his activi-ties. He has taken part in three radiodebates for U.B.C.

The two candidates will be heardon Monday, in the Auditorium wherethey will give amplifications of theirpublished platforms .

Speaking in support of Jay Gouldis Lex McKillop, MeDuffee's speake rhas not been announced .

"Mikado's Court"

On Thursday noon the "Mikado'sCourt" will visit the universitycampus, when the Japanese studentswill produce an Oriental hour of en-tertainment . They have decided todo their share of the Union BuildingCampaign by putting on this show.Admission will be ten cents .

A feature of the show will be anexhibition of Jiu Jitsu, or Jiudo, theJapanese national art of self defense .

Also, there will be Japanese fenc-ing . This is done with weighty sa-bers such as decorate the -.vans ofmuseums. An exhibition of this styl eof fighting is comparatively rare .

To round out the show, there wil lbe music, Japanese boxing and wrest -ling, and other Oriental forms of en -tertainment .

THE UBYSSEY

Friday, March 6, 193 6s►

proceeding paragraph, I hope theidea is over that this year's electionsare going to be serious. We need aCouncil next year that will be readyfor action . We know that the Presi-dent will be—the rest depends on thestudents who vote.

SPRING IS HEREAnd so is the annual walking sea -

son.Every noon hour — and aren't we

glad they last an hour and a halfl-we stroll through the gardens, downto Marine Drive, along by the point,and back through that old dirt roa dthat leads to the campus again .

Spring on this campus is a wonder-ful thing—it ,is anywhere. All thepetty caf romances that flourish dur-ing the winter at tea-time burst outinto their full blossom when Springis upon us Out into the wide openspaces they go—two by two and eve narm in arm .

Poetry—a peculiarly messy type ofit—is written by the ream. And con-versation, usually on drab things likehistory, economics, and the classics,turns to . . . love .

Alai Now is when we nppreciat ethat man Jessup .

THINGMUJIGGERSIt might be a good idea for the

next Council to make their meetingsopen . The University of Alberta law-makers allow an audience, whichkeeps the Councillers from strayingaway from business—we ngle in th e"Gateway" that at the last Counci lmeeting one lone student turned upto watch the fun.

One of the girls in the chorus of"Pirates of Penzance" was so ill th elast night that she has been absentever since—but the show went on .They always do .

The last issue of the Ubyssey iscoming up soon . . . and, speaking ofthe Pub Office, our 100 percent girlcame out with a strange remark theother day . Said she, after looking ata snap of the Dionnes, "Wouldn't i tba swell to have quintuplets." TuumEat .

FRIDAY, MARCH Or 1936

ABOUT THE LIBRARY

The Library these days is in great demandfrom students studying for the last stretch be -

fore exams. There appear, however, to be cer-tain students belonging to certain groups wh othemselves not very much interested in study-ing, seem to forget that there are other stud-ents who come to the Library to study .

These students usually use the south wing ,otherwise known as the social wing, to persu etheir alleged studying . For their own amuse-ment and the admiration of those sitting in th evicinity they carry on a barrage of conversa-tion which would not be unusual if it was i nreasonable undertones. The conversations arevaried by the occasional practice of practicaljokes on co-eds and others, and at very specia ltimes by the considerable feat of walking alongthe Library tables .

We would not mention these facts at all i fit were not for the fact that the Library is get-ting more and more crowded by people with asincere desire to work . In normal times theywould stay away from the wing in question asa matter of course as a very difficult place t owork in ; but this is no longer possible .

It is only to be hoped that the students con-cerned will carry on their social hours else -where and give others more seriously minde da fair chance to study.

ELECTIONS AHEAD

On Tuesday will take place the all-import-ant elections for President of the Alma MaterSociety . This year two candidates have bee nnominated for the office . The importance of theduties attached to the position of president ca nnot be too strongly stressed. The president isthe guiding spirit of the Students' Council andthrough it of the A. M. S .

Obviously, then, the holder of this officemust be a person of considerable ability andexperience in student affairs . He must be aman of ideas and the wherewithal to carry themout. Students would do well to take this fac tinto consideration when they cast their bal-lots next Tuesday.

SPRIG

Sprig has sprug. Flowers are sproutingtheir sprouts through the fresh earth, and birdsare winging it hither and thither in search oflahve . Everything is popping. And hopping .This is the season of the poppadums . Theypop in a sort of curry dish. Pop-a-down-dilly !

We never could resist the itch of sprig . Theoyd blood which has ceased even a sluggis hpretence at circulation in our wintry editoria lveins, suddenly starts racing in all directions .Oh, ah us, sprig.

On the back of the salary checks receive dby the faculty at the University of Illinois ap-pear the following directions : "If endorsementis made by mark (X) it must be witnessed bytwo persons who can write, giving their placeof residence ."

INTERMEDIATE NOTES DEPT.

This is a corollary to a column of somemonths ago on the Care and Feeding of youn gautomobiles . I'm assuming now that you candrive a car straight ahead, just like I can ,and four out of five times you can turn a rightangle corner voluntarily, the fifth time occur-ring when pedestrians in the vicinity of thecorner have an irresponsible gleam in thei reye, in which case there's always another cor-ner a block or so ahead .

Dogs are still another hazard at corners .I always say, if a dog chases your car, givehim a run for his money, but if he is occupie dwith other things, and might unconsciously runinto you, by all means take the long wayaround .

Lately, with spring in my blood and a littleextra gas in Persephone's tank, we have bee nmoved to invent and rehearse various methodsof turning around .

Turning around has never been one of ourstrong points . We believe firmly and conveni-ently in keeping a firm eye on what's comingand letting the past take care of itself, sort o f"Let the dead bury its dead . "

Unlike the woofle-bird, who flies back -wards because he's not interested inwhere he' sgoing, he'd rather see where he's been, wekeep an upward and onward direction.

Besides, look what happend to Lot's wife .

The other day, for some melancholy reason ,we began delving into the past, and of all thevisions which floated upon the inward eye, themost melancholy was the time we took thepoliceman for a ride when we were tryingout for our license .

It was in the late autumn when the foliagewas hilariously red and yellow, but the groun dwas wet and smushy. The policeman, whohad sat down in the front seat with me, withthe attitude of Iphegenia after her mind wa smade up, had somewhat relaxed after four vir-tuous and perspicuous miles of uphill an ddown dale .

With rather a pleased look, he said, "That 'sfar enough, you can turn around now."

I ignored the remark for another mile, quitesuccessfully, when he repeated, "That's farenough, you can turn now."

Rather bitterly I stopped the car, with amental comment, "Me and who? "

The road wasn't wide, and the ditches oneither side were pretty deep. I donned mybaffled look, and he turned the wheel farround to the left. "Now," he said, "give it alittle gas,"

So I gave it gas to the very lip of the ditch."There," he said . "Now hard around to the

right, and give it gas . "Unfortunately I don't come from a section

of the country where hard around means 'way'way round, and the term confused me. He il-lustrated by twisting the wheel tight to theright, and yelled "Gas . "

He asked for it, so I gave it gas, and thatwas the big mistake .

It was still in low . His nose rather uncere-moniously met the windshield with a sound o fa stepped-on cream puff, which I just hadtime to register, as my head went between th espokes of the steering wheel .

I backed it out with desperate and instjnc-tive dexterity, and we never said a word al lthe way home .

Anyway, his nose was inclined toward re-trousse when we started, whereas my ear shad never been cauliflower before, so what didhe have to kick about?

"Banana, banana, banana . "If you see a gentleman in the movies with

A TRIBUTEDuring the past year tho U.B.C .

Students' Council has excelled itselfin working hard. Few Councils ofother years can point to equal achieve-ments. Naturally some of our 1935-38 Council have done more thanothers—their positions provided tha tnecessity.

I refer in particular to Bern Bryn-elsen, who has never missed an op-portunity to serve the student body .Few know the full extent of the ser-vice he has rendered—it is certai nthat he will never tell . But some ofus on the Ubyssey staff, who havebeen in constant touch with him, canvouch for the fact that during histerm of office the students hav egained many benefits solely from hi shard work and energy ,

Longer noon hours, the appoint-ment of gymnasium instructors, andthe original scheme for .i UnionBuilding — all these were brough tabout largely by Brynelsen .

All of us are hoping that next yearwon't be an anti-climax—that anotherCouncil will be elected to carry onthe fine traditions set by the presentbody. The election of that Councilis up to you, It is not our job to ad -vise the voters.

But this is important.When you vote for President next

Tuesday, and for the other officesthe following week, keep In mind thattie University needs a Students' Coun-cil that will have as its first aim th ewelfare of the students. The men andwomen who will be our lawmakersduring the next year should have th edesire and the ability to serve us—an dwork together . They will have to beprepared to work under another stron gleader . They will have to be prepar-ed to hold office during what promisesto be the busiest year this campus hasknown for a long time. This presentyear is quiet In comparison to the on ethat will follow.

THE UBYSSB Y

CorrespondenceEditor, Ubyssey ,Dear Sir ;

Without fear of serious contradic-tion I desire to voice my protestagainst useless and annoying discours-ing that goes on every day in th elibrary reading room. It is abomin-able and can hardly be tolerated b ythose students who are trying tostudy.

It is most unfortunate that univer-sity students should have to be re -minded how to conduct themselves .But it seems that some of them thinkthat the reading room nas beenplaced at their disposal for discussin gtheir love affairs, parties, fraternityduties, dances or politics.

It sometimes becomes necessary fo rone student to aafc another a questionwhich only requires a brief answer .But to sit and talk by the hour aboutall sorts of nonsense should certainlynot be carried on In a place whichought to be as quiet as possible .

The writer has observed that thosestudents who make a practice of dis-coursing in the library are the one swho generally have one or more sup-plementals at the end of the year oreven fail completely.

The library officials have enoughwork to do without playing the partof a policeman. And, above all, ther eshould be no necessity for remindinguniversity students how to carry onSome, apparently, have not got ou tof their elementary school stage yet .

Yours for fair play,Arts '38 .

Tentative examination timetables for the April examina-tions have been posted in theArts, Applied Science and Ag-riculture Buildings.

Then there was a period of silence ,during which only the slap-slap-slapof milk tops could be heard, remind-ing Oscar of the days he had spentin the Aggie barns .

Gradually, Scribblewell gained th eadvantage. Those long hours over thechess board in the Pub office, thosehours of bridge, stood him in goodstead now.

The crew is in excellent shape and will travel to Washing-ton ready to take the Huskies into camp . Rowers making thetrip are, Bill McLeish, Frank Stevens, Gordy Morris, Jack West ,John Jamieson, Graham Darling, Bob Pearce, and in the bowAlex Macintosh, Wilson MacDuffee and Stan Weston are withthem as spares, and the team is also accompanied by their coach ,Tom Brown .

INTRA-MURAL SPORT

Noon BunionDerby Attacks

Classy FieldADMINISTRATION BLDG.

IS STARTING POINT

At 12 :30 today a gun will barkin the hands of Maurice VanVliet signifying the commence-ment of another cross-countryrace. As usual the race willstart on the Mall in front ofthe administration building .

The cross-country is an annual racerun under the auspices of the trac kclub, and this year should prove ofunusual interest owing to the factthat all entrants have had no prev-ious experience in the art of climbingfences, jumping puddles, acrd otherfeats of agility essential to the goodcross-countrier,

EIGHT ENTRANTS

At least eight have already signi-fied their intentions of entering, andthese, together with the few inevit-able last minute entries make a veryinteresting entry list. Amongst thoseentered who will bear watching arePete Peterson and Jerry Ward, theformer reputedly being in perfectcondition whilst Jerry has alreadyproved himself a runner of some note.Ronnie Allen, versatile sophomore ,should also make a good showingwhilst Walt Stewart, freshman miler ,is as likely as anyone to win. How-ever when announcing his Intentionof running Les Barber, debonaireyoung junior from Chililwack, statedhis intention of upsetting the dope-man by copping the race, and quitepossibly might, whilst Paddy Colt -burst, distance man unusual, isn' tsaying much but hopes for the best ,ANYONE'S RACE

All of which should give the im-pression that Its anyone's race an das likely as not some last minute en -try might step in and upset the pro-phets by winning.

But with fair weather certain andthe course in relatively good condi-tion, an interesting race is assured,whoever wins.

S PORTNAP S

By Curly Harper

Contrary to popular opinion, Var-

sity spirit is NOT dead—it is very

much in evidence !

It seems that the one person wh o

read this column last week was a Soc •cerite—a very indignant Soccerite—on ewho protested vehemently at the ap-parently uncalled-for denunciation ofthe Round-ball artists which rppeare din the said column (imagine my em-barassment) .

SOCCER INVITATION

This person—no names mentioned —proper etiquette and all that—illus-trated by charts, graphs and otherpretty drawings the present positionand possibilities of the Senior boc-cermen. He convincingly assuredyour writer that U.B.C. boys are in4th place In an 8-team league andhave Gerry Sutherland, their sta rhalf, back in the lineup, then dramat-ically ended his dissertation by con-fidently inviting your reprinter totheir next exhibition, tomorrow, 2 :30at Kerrisdale Park—we'll be there !

SPRING

GOLF

Spring also finds the Universit yGolf Club patiently digging canals o nthe rolling green plains . There plansinclude entering several of their num-ber in the City Championships, andsending a contingent to bottle inWashington after the exams . Theyshould do all right—why not, whenthey have in their roster Presiden tTed Charlton, runner-up for the las tyear's B. C. Amateur ; Peter Sharpe,with a handicap so small you can' tsee it ; and John Berry, who has theenviable record of four holes-in-oneto his credit .

AROUND THESPORT-CAMPU S

Tracksters will be busy in the nex tfew weeks—the annual Crows Coun-try Bunion Derby will be run off to -day, and the Arts '20 relay shortly.Tomorrow at Brockton Point the Eng-lish Ruggahs will attempt to lift yeolde McKechnie cup — they shoul dsucceed, with the voluble assistanceof the 1000 Varsity students who will ,of course, be on hand . With the re-turn of Rus Keillor, energetic presi-dent of the Boxing Club, the manl yart will once more be demonstrate dIn noon-hour performances . . "Boats!Boats! we need Boats!" Is the heart -rending cry of the Rowers—it seemsthat the Varsity Rowing Club are un-able to invite ,,Southern teams up herebecause of their decided lack of thevery necessary water-vehicles—whatabout using some of the UnionBuilding Fund for such a worthycause? (censored) . , . next we find—but no—Exams are coming!

VICTORIA STRON G

playing field will be in excellent con-dition for a wide open backfield tus-ale. The Rep men will be able to usetheir strong department much to the

' discomfort of the blue and gold men .

However, Varsity has a powerfu lfifteen to match the Islanders whoscored against the famous All-Blacks .
