inconsistentIttis:,iYidieed :gratifying toe-learn, that the B. C. Electric

has applied to the Public Utilities . Commission far permissio n

to reduce student fares on the University bus.

Following representations made on the. bus-riding stu-deilts': behalf by students councillors„ the Company decided

tor :resce the- cost- for-a student 's round trip- between the

University and downtown to 38½ cents from 41 cents .

If the PUC. appeaves this, it will give students similar

transfer privileges to those presently enjoyed by University

commuters not among UBC staff and students .

This move to ieduce students bus fares is a step in

the- right direction, and. we would be the last to criticize o r

belittle it .However, we cannot urge too strongly that the B . C.

Electric entirely re-evaluate its attitude towards univer-

sity student bus fares .

For many years the Company has practised the polic y

of providing elementary and secondary school students wit h

a certificate which allows there; to ride city bus routes at

greatly reduced fares during the hours they commute be-

tween home and school.

Yet the same Company is almost revulsed when the

suggestion is made . to it that UBC students should enjo y

similar consideration. It has taken a determined stand by

the Students ' Council to win the Company 's favor for a

student fare reduction of two and one-half cents per roun d

trip. And the reduction in this case is only applicable t o

these who use the University bus, whereas the younger stu-

dents' reduced fares are applicable on all city routes .

Is there a reason behind this seemingly inconsisten t

policy?If there is, we would like to hear it .

If there is not, we would like to see university student s

treated on the same basis by the B:C : Electric as other stu-

dents.

. Tuesday, November - .25, 1958

Vancouver Symphony Or-chestra will appear in the au-ditorium, in a free concert a t

12 :30, Thursday November

27th .

Under the direction of Ir-win Hoffman, t h e orchestrawill play a well balanced pro -

gramme including works by

English, Canadian, and French

composers .The first composition, Sin-

fonietta, Opus 48 by Malcol m

Arnold is a short work on thelighter, but interesting side .

The -Sinfonietta (meaning a

"small. symphony", and- usual -ly written for a small orches-tra) is divided into three move-

merits .. The first movement is label-

led "allegro commode" which

means "leisurely" ar at "a eon-venient pace ;"' the second

Movement ('"hllegrtttto")' ismoderately fast but slower

than "allegro"; and the third

movement ("allegro con brio" )may be translated as "fast wit hfire—or spirit . "

Mr. Hoffman is to be con-gratulated. for presenting AWinter's Tale--or "Ballad efor Strings"—by Jean Coulth-ard, as this fine work is b ya member of the U .B .C. De-partment of Music . The Uni-versity will have two of Cana-da's finest composers on it s

campus: Miss Coulthard andMiss Barbara Pentland. An dboth deserve performancesof their music .

The Winter's Tale providesan excellent introduction tocontemporary music for thosewho have had little opportuni-ty to listen to twentieth-cen-tury music .

According to Miss Coulth-ard, this composition tells amusical story of "one w''h a

Facts DistortedEditor, the UbysseyDear Sir :

-

Your Friday issue of t h eUbyssey, November 21, made_at least two series errors inreporting t h e WUSC Pane lDiscussion. The story shows

that neither the reporter northe proof-reader thought whenstating and checking the fol-lowing sentence :

"The result- of this con-trolled life is general suspi-cion which has caused "doubleface" psychology of the peo-ple of Yugoslavia ." Further-more, the headline taken fro mthis sentence makes no sense :"Controlled Life Yields "dou-ble face" psychology." It givesa distorted impression of th eperson making the statement .

My description of commun-ist control in Yugoslavia con-'eh*d.ed with this statement :"The common result of thi scontrolled life is suspicion anddouble face m or r ale of the - -people, which is a serious-psy-chological problem within theyoung intellectual in Yugosla-via." A- vast difference - in .

meaning exists between: thewords "morale" and "psy-chological"

Your. report also indicatesthat students here veer fro macademic subjects . This state-ment does not give the cor -rect interpretation of my talkand suggests that the Yugo-slav student is uninterested i nany serious academic pursuits .

Rather I said : "Due to con-trol over the mind in humani-ties courses, student turne dfrom them and rather chooseengineering, . medicine and sci-ence courses .

I believe that a campu snewspaper should make ever yeffort to report and to inter-pret correctly what has beensaid .

ErrorThe Editor, Ubyssey,Dear Sir :

I am afraid that I must cor-rect an error which appeare din Thursday's Ubyssey . Al-though the writer of the let -ter captioned "How About ItGirl's" is known to me, Iwould like to state that it i snot myself . In future, when

this law student feels a com-pulsion to break into print,perhaps he will confine him-

self to the use of his own sig-nature .

How about it! !Very truly ,PETER HEBB .

tries to attain a high idea lthough it means setting asideall earthly pleasures . "

The last work on the Van-couver Symphony 'Orchestra' sprogramme is the well-known" Symphony in D Minor" by'Cesar Franck a French com-poser who w'as influenced b ymany, and in turn influence dothers (George Gershwyn, in-

cluded) .The only trouble with the

Symphony in D Minor is tha tone used to hear it too fre-quently .

In other words, this sym-phony provides a few, estheti csurprises after two or threehearings, but"if you have neverheard it you will enjoy it forwhat is it : a rich, lush work .

P.H . AnnoyedEditor, The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir ,

Once again you have erred.In your paper of November20th, 1958; you printed a let -

ter headed "Vive la differ-ence", by P .H., Commerce II .This letter was- in answer toa letter- by C. B. Meeres whic happeared in. your paper on

Oct . 3rd, 1958--,SOME TIMEAGO. There is a saying "Bet-ter late than never", but thereis also the opinion that thereis nothing as old as yesterday' snews .

Speculating on t h e reaso nfor the delay I can only thin kof my letter having been mis-laid and having only turne dup now when no one but a nelephant with two secretariescould remember Mr . Meere' s

letter . Therefore my letter i snow meaningless to most peo-ple without Mr. Meeres' letterto compare it with .

I suggest that if you canfind the space, and if you donot mislay this letter beforereading it, that y o u reprint

Mr. Meeres' letter and referback to my letter printed Nov.

20th. In case you. have mislaid

Mr. Meeres' letter it can befound in the Ubyssey datedOct . 3rd, 1958, which is avail-able at the periodical loandesk of the library at UBC .The library is across the Eas tMall from the Brock .

with great interestForley's Esq. letter

commenting on the "deplor-able situation" of female dres s,on this fine campus . I imaginehe would find some difficultyin comprehending female dres sat U.B .C. coming from anEnglish school system that ha sroom, it seems, for only the-sophisticated aristocrats of hi snation. (It is said that no Eng-lish university student soilshis hands in common labor . )

Having attended both Am-erican and Canadian Universi-ties and being able to comparenotes with my Belgian room -mate on European student' sdress I feel I can make a wor-thy conement on the situation ,(although I do n o t envisio nmyself as being as magnani-mous of an authority as Jame sA. Farley, Esq.) I feel it hightime someone came forth an dcongratulated the young ladie sof Canada and the UnitedStates on their neat appear-ance and attractiveness con-sidering that so many mus tfashion their own clothing o rpurchase clothing with a stu-dent's limited budget .

However if the radiantyoung ladies of U.B.C. are tobe dressed in uniforms as h eadvises- I would like to sug-gest the color black as it wouldbe fitting dress for mournin gthe death of individuality . Asfor his nauseating commentthat a U.B.C. coed choosesher clothing according tit"what country her immigrantboyfriend has been chasedfrom," I wonder for what rea-son James A. Forley, E'sq . waschased from England .

If the dress and manner ofthis University become toomuch for him to bear thereare many one-way tickets toJolly Old England available.It is my sincere wish, how-ever, that he will continue t orub elbows with us commonfolks a n d maybe return t oEngland with more humilityand more respect for our girls'courage and ingenuity . Godbless them .

Buy BritishEditor; The Ubysse yDear Sir :

One way in which anyonewho thinks bookstore pricesare too high can save money isby buying British .

To give one example : `Thehistory of the primates' by L eCros Clark was published b ythe British Museum. The lat-est edition costs 4 shillings ,and can be got from any Brit-ish bookshop for that pric eplus a few cents postage .

Comparision 'Unfair'Editor: The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir :

At the risk of being brand-ed as one of those persons wh owrite "letters to the editors, "

I would like to set Mr. Hebbstraight upon his idea of hav-ing girls go "dutch ."

Last year I returned fro mthree years of living in Not-tingham, England. If Mr . Heb bhad had this experience, h ewould realize that social cus-toms of English universiy stu-dents differ greatly fromthose of U.B.C. studens . Eventhough their education is sub-sidized, the average Englishstudent has less money t ospend for entertainment. Thegirl, therefore, would h a v eonly to share the cost of amovie or the cost of her chas-tity for a walk in the park ;whereas, a U.B.C. coed wouldhave to bear tremendous ex-pense on her budget (all coed shave budgets!) to relax (??!! )in traditional U.B.C. style .

I feel this comparison is un-fair and hope such - radical -ideas will be quickly squelch-ed on campus ,

B. C. E. Rates .Under AttackEXCESSIVE

PROFITSCHARGEDThe B . C. Electric has been

charged with "plotting with theprovincial government" an dmaking "excesive profits."

The charges were made Fri-day noon by L .P .P . leader NigelMorgan .

In a campus talk he called fo ra reorganization of the three-man Public Utilities Commis-sion, appointed by the provinci-al government to r e g u l a t epower production and distribu-tion .

He also pointed to the "su-perior record" of the publicly -owned B . C. Power Corporation ,and advocated that the govern-ment take over all electricityand natural gas distribution, fi-nancing the scheme by the sale I

- of public bonds .Morgan praised H. Lee Briggs ,

now testifying before a PUChearing, for his accusations o fthe B. C . Electric .

Briggs, ex-manager of the B .C .Power Corporation, recentlyfired for his criticisms, claimedthat granting the power devel-opment of the Rocky MountainTrench to the Wennergren in-terests is putting B. C. Powerresources into private hands .

He also accused the govern-ment, the B . C. Electric, and thePVC of connivance, and allege dthat the B . C. Electric was mak-ing a 19 percent profit .

Morgan said that last year theB . C . Electric paid common stockdividends of 8 1/2 percent of itsrevenue . These dividends wer esupposedly paid from a profitwhich the law does not allow tobe . more than 6 1/2 percent of therevenue.

Morgan said, that according tothe Dominion Bureau of Statis-tics, ' Vancouver has among th ehighest power rates of any city 'in Canada, often twice as highas areas without B . C.'s naturalresources, which have to rely onthermal production of electricity .

Morgan also pointed out thatthe B.C.P .C. is forced to operatein sparsely populated areas o fthe province, and yet onlycharges $9 .50 perd 600 KWH permonth, compared to the $11 .8 8charged by the B. C. Elcetric inthe Vancouver area, containing75 percent of B . C. population .

The LPP leader concludedthat public ownership of elec-tricity and natural gas resourceswas superior to private, and sub-mitted that the governmentshould control them and financ ethe cost by the sale of publi cbonds ,as in Ontario .

Morgan claimed that the PUC ,appointed by the Bennett govern-ment to investigate the Bennet tgovernment, was a "snare an da delusion" and had a "shockin grecord of compliance" to the de-mands of the B. C. Electric .

He suggested that the numberof commission members be in-creased to deal with the enlarg-ed' scope of the B . C. Electric' soperations, and appealed to al lpolitical : parties to unite in ademand for a "free and open "investigation of -power distribu-ttran in B

in order to. halttics,' of our natural

,BRIG G Sthat there was no suggestion of any prohibition agains tthe Commission placing many millions of dollars a yearin contracts with the business organizations of Vancouverand Victoria . However, to discuss that point is not thelmain purpose of this letter to you.

No One Needs To Point'"With your extended academic- training, you- will have

observed that throughout the entire history of the humanrace, at time of extreme stress whether due to military ,political or religious endeavor, men unconsiously sort them -selves out. At such times, no one needs even to point

-a single 'finger. 'By his acts or ' by his behavior, the manhas classified himself .

"When through the medium of the daily press yo unow say by direct ,quotation that the former GeneralManager' ,of ; the B.C. Power Commission is "an engineerwith little experience" , "an incompetent executive", "inan emotional state in which he is not accountable forthe things he says", "his statement indicates that he is ina state of emotional disintegration," then, Mr. Dal Grauer,you are into extremely dangerous territory.

"A few days ago, the decisions of Mr. Justice J. O.Wilson in the Sommers case indicate that British Columbi acourts are continuing in the British tradtion . That, Mr .Grauer, means justice to a chimney sweep, and justic eto a Cabinet minister, if either oversteps the laws of thisour country .

'Be Careful, Dal '

"Be careful, Dal . There are laws here to deal withlibel and ehacter assassination. I think that a greatmany of the people who live in the Grauer Heartland ,particularly those who were never favored with a fractionof the tremendous advantages you have had, will be tthat those laws will be enforced even against a UniversityChancellor .

Are You Trying Your Best ?

IF WE ALL DROVE ISETTAS the huge spaces left by the car (left )

could be used. Unfortunately the wide open spaces (left) are not quite

large enough to permit the many students' Cadillacs and Buicks t o

squeeze in. The administration is working on a long term scheme to

ease parking problems but say right now we have to do the best with

what we have. Alert Ubyssey photographer Colin Landie saw a numbe r

of cars like the one above taking up two full parking places .

Everyone admits that the U .B.C . parking problem isACUTE, and that something should be done about it IM-

This would be perimeterparking. All the middle of th ecampus would be buildings, an dparking lots would be provide daround the edge, in a roughlycircular shape .

But this plan also has man ydrawbacks .

T he most obvious proble mthat it raises is the great dis-tance that students would haveto walk from their cars t oclasses .

Possibly t h e only solutionwould be riding bicycles .

Pete Meekison, .when aske dto express his views said : ."Tiered parking lots should bebuilt or else there should be jmore space . What about desig-nated parking lots for indivi-duals, for a $5 or $10 fee, s othat people would always beassured of having a place . Theparking lots should also be di-vided into faculties . "

SPORTS CARSBATTME

MUD, RAINLast Sunday saw eightee n

hardy competitors waging abattle of wits with the U.B.C .Sports Car Club. The battlefiel dwas the back roads of Port Co-quillam; the weapons, automo-biles; the prizes, nebulous atbest. Nevertheless, the fewbrave souls present coveredthemselves with glory and mud .

Two drivers, Walter Faith ,MGTC and Jim McKenna, Ze-phyr tied for first place, bothmanaging to visit four fiendish-ly situated checkpoints, to col-lect the necessary paraphenalia ,and to turn up at the finish witha grand total of thirty-sevenmiles. Tied for third were John-nie Johnston MGA, and BillRadelet, :Morris Minor, wit hforty miles .

The competitors gathered a t;the -finish, atep,RBurnaby Motun

UBC Chief sa game played

whitewashed th e

ing a good display of open rug-by, though they were some -when facing a strong breezewhat inhibited them in the firs thalf blowing straight down mid-field. With the wind playinghavoc on the kicks, none o fthe three tries in the first halfwere converted .

UBC scored in the first te nminutes when Hunt cleverl yhand-tripped the Oak Bay full -back and Armstrong pouncedon the loose ball to score a fin eopportunate try .

GOOD FAK EHunt himself scored the see-

orid try after deceiving the de-fence with a beautiful fake an da fine change of pace . Just be -fore half-time Bugg scored i nthe corner after a bit of cleve rdribbling along the touchlineby Hawes .

The sides turned around withUBC leading 9-0 .

With a monopoly of the bal land the aid of the wind, th eVarsity side hemmed the oppo-sition in their -own half forlong periods of time. With su-perior conditioning beginnin gto tell, further tries Were addedby Shore, Chambers, McGavin ,and Phillips . .Hunt convertedone and McGavin two, whil eMcGavin also kicked two pen-alty goals .

T h e most encouraging fea-ture of the Varsity play wasthe eagerness of the forwardsin getting ' to the ball . The yhunted as a pack and their ruck-ing and heeling in the loose wasa vast improvement on previousdisplays .

SETTLED DOW NThe backline, after a" littl e

uncertainty in the first half,settled down in the second pe-riod and with Aliardyce andHawes in the centre, the ballwas moved to the wings wit hspeed and crispness .

Because of the quality of theopposition, on Saturday, itwould be easy to overestimat ethe strength of this year's varsi-ty Team, but it should be possi-ble to make a true appraisal oftheir capabilities when the Vic-toria Reps visit Varsity Stadi-um in two weeks time .BRAVES vs RICHMON D

The Braves visited Richmondlast Saturday and emerged thevictors by a score of 23-0 .

The game started at a fastpace with the Braves penetrat-ing the Richmond defence timeand time again . There wasmore cohesion between baclesand forwards during the firsthalf with Willis, Brockington ,and Smith playing a sensation-al game :for the UBC XV.

Buchans frnpr~ssiv~ ,Down 'Birds Twice

By Ted SmithNine thousand UBC Students passed up the opportunity o f

watching, in action the best basketball team to play the UBC Birds .Seattle Buchans impressed the small crowd with their 81-56 an d82-57 wins over the new Birds, last weekend .

Seattle this time looked muc himproved over the team whichgave the Canadian Olympic tea mof 1956 such a good game twoyears ago . Strenthened by the ad-dition of sharp shooting DickStricklin and Charlie Franklin ,along with 6'9" centre from Uni-versity of San Francisco, Ar tDay, the Buchans looked like th eteam to beat for the 1959 Pa nAmerican Games trip .

OVER THE HEAD of UBC Thunderbirds ,the Seatle Buchans stopped the Birds in

two contests played at UBC over the week-

end. The Buchans won out 81.56, Friday

night and again Saturday with a score of82-57 . Birds had trouble . in. the fight for .control of the backboards with the tallier

visitors .

Teams Downed tn FinalTwo. Cross-Country Runs

Splitting their ranks did not help matters much for the UB CThunderbird Cross-Country Team in two separate meets heldSaturday .

IN RANGESeattle was content both

nights to let the U.B .C. crewkeep within range for the firs thalf . The Birds trailed at th ebreak by six points on Fridayand four on Saturday .

Each night however a quicktightening of the visitors defenc eand a' much improved effort onthe hackboards allowed them t orun away with the game in thesecond half .

ROUGH GOIN GU .B .C . found the going pretty

rough under the boards as th eheavier and taller Buchan tea mthrew their weight around con-tinually .

Rookies on the U.B.C. teamtried to steal the limelight fro mthe returning members of th eteam . Keith Hartley and EdGushue from Lord Byng HighSchool each looked greatly im-proved over their performanc eagainst the Grads .

Playing his first game in th eBird's uniform, Wayne Osborneshowed he would make a nam efor himself this year .

VISITORSFAIL TORETRI EVE

The women's hockey team de-feated visiting University ofWashington on Sunday. by astore of 6 to 1 . The America nteam came up to retrieve th eshield stolen from their gym byPacific North West Grass Hoc-key Conference, which tookplace November 7, 8 and 9 .

Scorers for the U.B.C. teamwere, Helen Charlton, AlisonGourlay and Diane Lewis .VARSITY LEAD S

As the result of a one-side dflto 1 victory over Ex-Tech o nSaturday, the varsity team no wleads the Greater VancouverLeague.

Goal scorers for this gamewere, Helen Charlton (4), Aliso nGourlay and Libby Shekury (2)and Penny Pblock, Marilyn-Peterson and Barb Lindberg (1) .

In other weekend action theUBC team lost to Ex-Britannia3`1 . As Ex-Brit was last year sleague winners, the Universit yplayers did well in holding themto such a low score . UBC's lonegiol was scored by Jacquine Wil-son .LAST WEEK

UBC and Varsity met in aregular scheduled league gamelast week 'at UBC . The Varsit yteam, which consists of the firststring players, did not showtheir superiority in the first half ,which UBC controlled .

In the second half, Varsit yclamped down and score d., theirwinning goals .

The Birds found a great dealof difficulty getting close in t oshoot on Friday but a new ad-dition to the U.B.C. offence en-abled them to show better Satur -day. This was the use of a hookshot by Norris Martin, E dGushue and Keith Hartley.

From the results of thesegames this years Birds shouldshow well in Evergreen Con-ference play and the Tote mTournament.

UBC soccer coach Frank Kuruc s

it was learned that theVarsity eleven will play Stan-ford University at San Fran-cisco' on November 29 and willend their tour with a contestagainst California University a tOakland on December 1 .

Two years ago a UBC socce rteam walloped American op-position but Coach Kurucs ex-pects tougher competintion thistime .

TOP SCORER SVarsity will carry 13 player s

plus one manager and the coachon the trip. Among these playerswill be the squad's three to pscorers, Bernard' Knaggs, Bil lWedley and Joe Alexis .

Fans who have followed thefortunes of Varsity this seaso nwill know how the team hasmade a sustained comebackdrive after "a slow start early in

the schedule and a run of ba d

luck in mid-season . Varsity has

compiled a record of one win ,

four losses, and one draw afte r

the completion of the first half .Although this record is not im-pressive on paper, it is not in-dicative of the good brand o fball which the boys have display-ed .

When Varsity returns fro mtheir southern jaunt they wil lface the second half of thei rtough schedule .

THIRD OR FOURTHCoach Kurucs believes tha t

the team has the ability to finishin third or fourth place in th eeight team league . In his opinion ,this feat is possible because onl yWallaces and Columbus hav edefinite superiroity over Varsity.

Varsity will have sevengames to improve their positio nin the New Year .
