passed unanimously at an executive meeting of Universit y

Branch No 72 of the Canadian Legion on Friday, November 8 .The current housing, shortage ,

states the Minister of Reconstruc-

tion, the Honorable C. D. Howe,

will not be over until 1948 at the

try earliest. The decision of th e

CPR will mean that 257 families o f

Canadian veterans will be turned

out of their present accommoda -tion in April 1947 and forced into

an almost impossible search fo r

housing, said Legion executive .

VIEW

Members of the executive feltthat this decision by such a well-

known Canadian corporation would

tend to stimulate and strengthen

extremists groups.A letter urging support of the

Legion stand will be forwarded toell veterans' organizations .

LAND OF THE BRAV Ethe wires, and mortal men agree to b ejudges. In fact, everybody wants to get intothe act .

And, quite co-incidentally, the whole sho wwill aid the Gymnasium Drive .

Despite all these admirable points abou tthe beauty contest, The Ubyssey feels it ne-cessary to inject a note of caution into th eproceedings. The advice it wishes to tende ris for the benefit of the judges who will makethe decisions next week .

Gentlemen, let The Ubyssey, like the gen-

tleman in the famous Arno cartoons, remindyou to tend to your score cards and "die- ,pense with those long low whistles . "

AS OTHERS SAW US

campus beatBy WARREN DAMER

One of the more amusing things about university is it ssophistication . The word itself tends to take on as man yconnotations as there are ways of bruising the mint for aBacchanalian highball .

Over in the Aggie department there is some talk abou tthe young man who was blushingly assisting in operations t omake the old sow happy just after her blessed events . 'Tissaid he went through quite a farrowing experience .

TOTIE'S HAD ITThe Forest:),, lab with all its hydraulics and the like are putting th e

pressure this year on those little Toties who turn out to be just a lot ofsap. Wooden that splinter your cranium!

The more disgruntled sections of the Engineers are discussing th eestablishment of a new degree for those taking the steam option . It wil lbe known as a B .T. or Bachelor of Temperature . We hear it is prettyhot stuff.

The census-taker will probably go into the motorcycle business whe nhe hears that local two-lung luggers prefer twins .

With all the fiddling going on these days around the rumpus, it seem slikely that the Mussocs will have little trouble in finding enough string sto support their Pinafore .

DOORS WITH USESRevolving doors have a lot of uses. The ones in the Library hav e

been useful for some time in helping people who go around together toget through .

The general tenor of masculine bull-sessions in the cafeteria seemsto run over a great variety of topics. All the way from women to woman .

Cocker spaniels or no cocker spaniels, most Toties going to the pollsaround UBC are likely to pass the Buck .

Some people go down to the Georgia to sit in the lobby and wait unti lthe rain lets up .

His is a story of managerial success . While working for Geoayfe herose to position requiring much rtudy of papers and the direction o fpersonnel from his desk. During his following civilian life he also heldsedentary executive positions la a broader tense, he remained ensconcedupon his posterior both during and after the war .

Even if the beauty contest doesn't manag eto discover which college really has the mos tdesirable coeds it will still serve severa lgood purposes.

For one thing, it should go to show thatthe war is really over, — and Peace, It' sWonderful .

As point number two, it must he note dthat Western Canada still produces somebrave men.

Yesterday's issue of The Varsity carrie da story from Vancouver which stated tha tthe Student Council of The University o fBritish Columbia had refused a club permis-sion to present Tim Buck as speaker at oneof its meetings . This was done, said the an-nouncement "in order to preserve the goodname of the university."

It is to be hoped that University of Tor-onto authorities never take the same stand .The good name of a university is not meas-ured by the degree to which it caters to th epolitical opinions of the majority, but by th estandard of academic and intellectual free-dom which it maintains .

Censorship of opinion is definitely not oneof the functions of a university, or of a stu-dent council . From refusal to allow freedo mof opinion to an undergraduate society torefusal to allow freedom of opinion in the

Hello there's my ebullient little elfkins .Stop making those anticipatory week-endnoises and let 's have a little order in here .'Tis of thee we sing, anyway, when we rakeover the ash-heap of last week ' s news anddrag out the still-twitching corpse of th eStudent Council v . Timothy Buck .

Nothing, we agree, could be deader thanlast week's "Ubyssey" ; and perhaps, like us ,you're bored with all this muck about Buck .Sorry, if so.

You must, however, consider how divinelyfrustrating the whole business has been fo rboth ProBucks and AntiBucks alike. PoorProBucks and AntiBucks. They both fel tobliged to make public declamations, afte rFrancois Marie Arouet Voltaire, to the ef-fect that: "I disapprove of what you say, bu tI will defend to the death your right to sayit ." (As if, indeed, the Furious Frenchmanwere a sort of Gallic Kid from Brooklyn,peddling a pasteurized brand of the Milkof Human Kindness . )FISTICUFFS ? — FAUGH !

But we should consider brawling on theCampus, in the Temple of Truth, to be quit eas repugnant as if, for instance, one were todiscover eighteen members of the Church ofEngland struggling on the floor of the churchvestry. Not b y likely.

Poor ProBucks and AntiBucks . You hoi-polloi ; you poor, dumb, inarticulate, AMSfees-paying, downtrodden masses ; do youknow the restraint, the fortitude, the intel-lectual accomplishment involved in resistin gthat pre-Volitarian barbarity which goes :"say that again and I' ll kick your teeth in"?Do you?

Look here, elfkins ; if we 're going to dothis thing, let's do it right, with some gusto.No meetings . No wranglings, no bickering.

NOTICESAll Members of the Women's Rifl e

Club must turn out to Tuesda y12 :30 p .m . meetings in Arts 101 aslectures and range practices hav estarted.

As the University will be closedMonday, November 11, there wil lbe no evening meeting of thechess club .

lecture room is only a step. And from therethe road leads to Nazi book-burning:, politi-cal exile for men with opinions, and the ab-rogation of Wall the fundamental freedoms .

To admit Tim Buck as a speaker to agroup seeking opinions on social problem sdoes not imply approval of his party plat -form by the university . As a matter of fact ,in 1937 Tim Buck did speak to students atthe University of British Columbia, to a num-ber of more than two hundred . It is not re-corded that a heavy Communist vote wasregistered at the next provincial election ,nor that any criticism was directed at th euniversity.

By this immature and ill-advised ruling,the Student Council has done more har mthan good to the reputation of the university .--Reprinted from The Varsity, Universityof Toronto, for November 1, 1946 .

Fix a date for Timothy 's Triumphal Tour .Announce it in the Press. Place two (2)large crates of axe-handles on the Librarylawn. Then let the AntiBucks stop Timoth yfrom coming in, if they can . And let theProBucks bring Timothy in—if they can .

We offer that as the ideal solution to th eproblem of a campus permanently split intoProBucks and AntiBucks, with nagging andrecriminations rampant .WE WANT WHOOZIS

Timothy won ' t mind . A man who canemerge from a Canadian prison cell, aliv eand whole, into which he alleged that Fascis tpolice to wit, fired leaden slugs, could faceour little Donnybrook with equanimity . Ifhe makes it to Arts 100, he's home free . Andas an old public speaker, we can assure youthat strolling into a public meeting, to begreeted by apathetic faces, never will holda candle to being carried in by screamingsupporters over the dead and dying bodiesof disgruntled opponents: It gives you tha twanted feeling .

Our plan, though, has an added virtue tocommend it. You won't be able to tell aProBuck from an AntiBuck afterward .

Let the Jokers collect the bodies from theboulevards and dispose of same by throwingthem from the Marine Drive cliffs befor enotifying next-of-kin . They (the Jokers )will probably think that quite funny, andlaugh like anything. If they remember, tha tis, to let go of the corpses in time .

Well, ballots or bullets, we'll be righ tthere, Timothy . Right up front, where youcan drop us a conspiratorial smile now andagain. Besides, we want to see the technicsof a platform delivery that will enable aman to talk for twenty years on the sam esubject .

Compared to the universities o fEurope and Asia, UBC is living inthe lap of luxury. Even if ourlecture rooms have been supple-mented by army huts, look at theconditions prevailing at the Un1-versity of Budapest, where lecture sare often cancelled on rainy daysbecause of great holes in the roof .The lack of fuel will probably closethis university for four monthsthis winter .

On the other side of the world ,in Pao-Chi, China, 8,000 studentrefugees live and study In caves,and on mud floors, In Kunming ,they are a little more fortunate inhaving a small group of thatche dbuildings .

"University student drivers are co-operative, althoughthere is still room for improvement," is the opinion of Con -stable Dowling, constable in charge, University detachmen tB.C. Police.

"Students on the whole, are not difficult as to obeyin gtraffic regulations, but there have been a few prosecutions, "he states, "mostly for exceeding the speed limit and for fail-ing to obey a stop sign . "

To date, there have been rough-ly 100 violations .FORMULA

Constable Dowling's formula fordecreasing this number is for stu-dents to get up ten minutes earl-ier. "The usual excuse we get forspeeding," he says, "Is that th edriver is hurrying to make a lec-

ture""We have a major traffic prob-

lem out here," states policemanDowling, "and these precautionsare for the students' own benefit .

"Between 8 :00 and 8 :30 a.m. the traf-fic is at its worst, with about 1500cars trying to get into the parkinglot. He estimates that the northcorner of the Mall is busier tha nGranville and Hastings.

ARRANGEMENTSArrangements are being made to

have a local man appointed asmagistrate to handle traffic finesin the University Area. Underthe present system a student spendsa lot of time traveling to andfrom the Court House as well asthe time spent In court. If thenew system is adopted it mouldsave a lot of minutes for the Po-lice Department as well as for thestudents.

It is estimated that the averagefine is around ten dollars, but Con-stable Dowling warns that if theviolations continue, stiffer meas .urea will have to be taken.

ANOTHER BRIGHT SPORT CAR DVarsity's athletes are at it again this weekend in an -

other largesome sport card that promises to be very inter-esting. Varsity 's footballing Thunderbirds take to the grid -iron again this afternoon, this time to meet the boys fromdown Linfield way .

Whether or not the Blue and Gold boys will be able tobreak into the win column is yet to be seen but we can b estare that the boys are going to put up a fight for the fans i ntheir last appearance of the year before a home crowd unde rthe American code.

Coach Greg Kabat is satisfied that the boys are catchingon to the American style and are improving in every game.That in itself is a pat on the back for the 'Birdmen but the y

It just isn't fair. Such a lovely letter . . . but there was

no name. If the person who wrote same would be goo denough to drop into the pub and sign same, I'm just achin gto go into battle, verbal that is ! !

night when they romped throughthe Dunbar team to the tune of41-34, in a gun-to-curtain thrillerwhich was anything but one-sided .

' time they trailed by only one point ,but the students made the finalframe count .

Louis Willis notched up a nea t14 points to lead the Varsity scor-ers, she of them from free shots.
