that it pays for the diploma

• VICTORY QUINTET, Negro
artists from Atlanta, Georgia ,
will appear as a pus future next
Tuesday at noon in the Auditorium.
Directed by Emanuel Mansfield,
these singers will present a varied
and universal musical program
that possesses the beautiful harmony and delicate shadings of authentic Negro melodies. These
spirituals coedit of sorrow song,
work songs, love songs, and jubilees, which reflect the rich Amara.
can background from which they
alb.
This includes a remarkable bo y
bass, whose voice is exceptionall y
well developed for such youth.
Mr. Mansfield also was gifted with
a beautiful tenor voice which was
the means of securing hir education and advanced musical training.
Critics say he is the greatest interpreter of the Negro spiritualists,
and acclaim him as having one o f
the finest tenor Negro voices in th e
country.
Music lovers will be thrilled b y
this musical treat presented by the
Dlxlelanders . Realising that music builds new hope, new courage
and energy in the souls of the me n
working and fighting for our common cause, they do much fre e
work for army camps and hospitals .
Grad Fees
The question of the high coat of graduating from UBC has at last come to a head .
Last year the grad executives left the question until too late and were unable to ge t
anywhere with their request . This year's
executive have started early and built u p
an estimate of the expenditures Involved i n
launching the class of '43 into the cold, crue l
world .
If the estimate of the expenditures i s
erroneous then there is only one way for th e
Board of Governors to prove it and that i s
to give out an official statement of the expenditures so that the students wllI have
something definite to go on . It seems unfair
that %we should be asked to pay fifteen dollars without having some idea of what i s
being done with it.
President Klink, in a statement to th e
Vancouver Province, has indicated that the
graduate can save $2.50 by returning his
hood after the ceremony.
This statement is perfectly true, and i t
is also true that few students take advantage of the offer. Two things we have been
told. The first is that the Diploma costs
$4.00 and the Hood $3 .50 if you want t o
keep it. There fore the two things which
you can keep to remember graduation and
the two things the folks back home wil l
want to see cost $7.50. The suggestion of the
president's that we eliminate one of thes e
is practical we admit, but it is only half o f
the picture.
' The-other part of the picture is the $7 .50
not accounted for. This goes for tea, flowers,
music, commissionaires and other items ,
which the board of governors has decree d
are necessary for a proper graduation.
An Editorial
The student executive has done thei r
best to estimate the expenditures for these
items, and after being more generous than
was necessary, they brought out a total over
1200 dollars lea than the $5550 that th e
university collects for the ceremony (estimates are based on a grad clam of 370) .
Basing their claims on this they feel that th e
Grad fee could be slashed to around $10 for
each grad. Then adopting the President's
suggestion of turning in the hood the fe e
could be reduced another $2 .50 to $7.50.
So it is because of the unaccounted for
$7.50 that the members of the graduation
class have signified by a petition that they
will not pay their fees . If the powers that
be will not account for our money then we
have a right to set out what we think is a
just fee .
A careful survey by the Grad executives has shown that other universities
charge up to $10, there is no reason to assume that our ceremony is any better tha n
theirs and that the traditional frills of ou r
show cannot be done without .
If the members of the graduation clas s
'tick together and refuse to pay up the y
should get some action. It will look ver y
silly if no one gets a degree from the university of British Columbia in 1943, after
370 people have worked four or five year s
to get degrees . Are we to assume that that
work means nothing unless we go through a
ceremony ?
We urge the grads to hang together . If
a few,students lose their courage and pay u p
then the case of the others will be weakened .
As long as we make an orderly protest ther e
can be no reason for stopping us . If you
signed the petition, then stand by it .

Waitresses
Threaten To
Strike 'Today
• WAITRESSES of the
Caf are threatening to
strike unless they receive
more help . The deadline was
Monday night but up to
press time no definite word
has been received .
Frank Underhill, manager of th e
Caf, stated that he has been trying to get more girls from the Selective Service for two weeks bu t
without success; the Caf staff is
three short-handed .
There is a union for waitresses,
but as the girls are only employe d
on a temporary basis, none of the m
belong to it . However, there was
a rumor that an arbitrator woul d
be called in .
The main trouble seems to be
that girls will not come all the
way out to the universi ty for th e
small pay that they would receive,
but there was suggestion that university girls might be used through
the Employment Bureau,
The scene of the festivities wil l
be the main lounge of Brook Hal l
commencing at I p .m. Refreshments will be served and interesting sidelights, novelties and specialties will add to the fun of the
Juniors and Seniors attending.
Helen Welch, chairman of the
combined executives, stated yesterday, "although the majority o f
the thirty airforce guests have been
snapped up by eager co-ed s
through the Date Bureau, there ar e
a number of the handsom e
bruits awaiting dates." She urged
any girls still desiring dates to come
to the quad office early today and
fin da suitable companion . The
box office will be open until 5 :30
this afternoon for the Date Bur eau and for ticket sales.

• THE BARRELHOUSE
COME, my budding little psycho-sociologists, come . Leave your glands, you r
morons, your tables, your mazes, your ganglia and your air-conditioned reflexxes, an d
come out into the velvet night .
Come out and see the orphans of this
mortal storm ; children of the world tha t
was, the dwellers of the world that is, th e
future tenants of the world that is to be . It
is a textbook authored by God, edited by
that hard-bitten ulcerated newsman Chance ,
and printed by that bibulous typographer ,
man; outdated immediately, with endless
addendum ; the mightiest of all the little blu e
books at five cents . This week (ration order)
it costs a thin dime, a few paltry pfengerthe price of a cup of coffee . For "cuppacawfee" to you shall be your "open sesame " .
Apart from the inevitable bawds, rake s
and wastrels, your grandfather and hi s
cronies went yawning from the grog-shop s
to their wives and pallets when the candle s
burned low at 9 p.m. or so. Not so his offspring once removed . For all the world lik e
the moppets of an orphanage that went up
in flames last night, they line the hospitabl e
stools of today's coffee shops, guzzling an d
dunking, wondering what in the hell will
become of them all . They're looking fo r
something, and they don't know what it is .
They won't find it, because you can't see a n
itch. And they itch .
Talk to them . Not to the hamburge r
hoi-polloi, the carefully accoutred sippers
and guzzlers, the zoot-suited Princes Charming with their modern Cinderella, who wea r
glassy eyes instead of glass slippers ; who
head, mustard-chinned, for home at the
stroke of twelve. But wait until the crowd s
have gone, and meet the real life, true-lif e
characters who slip onto the still-war m
stools, all through the night . Philosophers ,
pimps, policemen and pipe-fitters ; they all
have a story to tell .
Tales of violence, tales of sorrow, of lust ,
of forget-me-not, unsullied love, of delight ,
anguish and revenge .
Take Tommy, for instance . I met Tom my the other night when he stepped in ,
walking backward, at three a .m., into an allnight coffee shop. The waitress, a prairie
girl who is recovering from a nervous break down amid the clatter of dishes, greeted hi m
with an affectionate screech .
"So" , she cried, " you 're adrift again . "
Yeah."
"You damned fool, Tommy. You kno w
what you'll get for this."
"I know, I know . I'll get 365 hours of
•
Tip ghgtmeg
heavy pack duty, done on the double. Don' t
give a damn . Done it before."
Tommy sat on the edge of his stool ,
close to the back door, ready for a precipitate exit, should one be necessary . He wor e
the tight-fitting uniform of the Royal Canadian Navy ; and the markings on his sleev e
indicated that he was a stoker . His survivor's leave ended a week ago, and he has been
dodging the shore patrol ever since ; on and
off street cars, through alleys and streets .
That's Navy for being "adrift" or A .W.O.L.
You see there is a girl . And this is his
first real leave since the war started . His
ship was sunk near Malta . And so Tommy,
who is 22, and has peculiarly wide, sootylashed eyes in a deadpan face, is going t o
stay adrift until he's ready to give himself
up. Then he'll take what's coming to him .
No alibis, no excuses. But you get the impression that even the threat of a keel-hauling or the rack wouldn't make the slightes t
difference . He's properly "browned off" ; and
when he's ready to go, he'll go . But no t
before. Unless they nab him first.
Tommy's no angel. But he isn't exactl y
hardrock either . Maybe, in a way, he's a
fair example of what this war is going to do
to a lot of the members of this generation
who see action, and plenty of it . You get
careless of the social amenities, sort of . No.
not you, my little moppets . But the Tommys
do.
But consider, if you will, the classic ingredients of romance which run throug h
Tommy's tale of how he lost his Petty officer's rating. There is romance, violence, a
woman's virtue assailed, and that virtu e
finding—as is fitting--a protector.
"This guy" ( an officer) Tommy declares, "he said something about my girl n o
man could take. What he called her—there
couldn't be nothing lower than that, in the
Navy.
"He called her a green hornet".
And thereupon the guy and Tommy began to beat each other violently about th e
head and ears, and other spots. Forcibly
halted, the battle resunfbd again, in greate r
fury, when Tommy went up to his opponent 's
hotel room . Only, this time, six of them
formed the melee . The damage to the roo m
was considerable. Tommy lost his rating .
Tommy doesn't care .
What is a green hornet? Don't ask m e
to explain ; but don' t apply the term to any
sailor's girl . That's all . She may be Tommy's ,
and Tommy maye be still adrift, just around
the corner, up the alley.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Cheer Leader, UBC ,
Vancouver, B .C . ,
Dear Sir :—I was possibly the
only Air Force supporter at th e
game recently held in your gymnasium, and if you will permit me ,
I would like to make a few comments on the game. but more particularly on the Cheer-leading .
I'd first like to mention that I
have attended U . of W. and s o
possibly can be quoted es a voic e
of experience .
With regard to the game I fel t
that the UBC supporters, and
yourself included, we were ver
y
poor sports when it came to accepeng the referee's decisions . I t
Is true that they were rather
"raw", but nevertheless at referee
has a job to do—let him do it an d
abide by his decisions.
Then comes cheer-leading. Yo u
know you are terrible—don't you .
You are, but I don't blame you i n
the least . The support that yo u
getting Friday's game was an example, would be enough to mak e
McKenzie King disgusted enough
to go and get married. My advice
is to keep on trying and then may be some day, in the far distan t
future, you can get a little more
enthusiasm out of your bunc h
than you would get out of an ol d
ladles' home'
'
It's a hell of a job you've got —
my heart grieves for you .
Yours very truly,
RCAF,
LAC PRAT', J . W .
Dearest Morons,
NEWS ! I ! And good news a t
that! Your Varsity "Cheer Lead era " are quitting—but very de finitely. To put it very mildly ,
were disgusted . Sure, we know
that you're disgusted too—bu t
guys and gals, if you do a littl e
thinking (Try hard) you'll realize that the fault lies with you, 11' 1
morons !
Sure, we know that we are in dined to be 'odious' when i t
comes to getting out and leadin g
cheers. But we just any 'wh y
not?' After all you have to admi t
and that's one hell of a lot mor e
that most of you have done .
After months of effort we ra n
just crone off the year as a wast e
of time . We started off with th e
hope that possibly a few of yo u
dopes might realize that cheer leading isn't fun, and woul d
'sacrifice' yourself enough to giv e
us some incentive to carry on .
You don't and we WON'T !
Well, we're with yo u
For no Varsity Spirit ,

• AS THE UNIVERSITY OF B .C. launches into Inter national Student Service Week, the UBYSSEY present s
a questionnaire to enlighten students on the work of th e
ISS. In an imaginative interview with a UBYSSEY reporter,
the editor of the INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVIC E
BULLETIN tells what has been, is, and will be done with
funds that are now being collected in part on the campus, :
1. WHAT IS THE I .S.S.
International Student Service
distributes its relief through the
European Student Relief Fund
whose headquarters is in Geneva ,
Switzerland . Andre de Blonay, a
Swim, is its General Secretary.
Members of the Internationa l
YMCA, the International Red
Cross, Pax Romano and the World
Student Christian Federation are
on its executive committee.
WELFARE PROGRAM
Access to the prison camps all
over the world is made possibl e
through the 1929 Geneva Convention for prisoners of war which
makes provision for the International YMCA and the Internationa l
Red Cross to assist in supplying
the necessary physical equipment
for organizing and maintaining a
complete welfare program. The
European Student Relief fund is
allowed into the camps for specialized educational work under the
International YMCA.
In China the relief Is distributed
through the National Student Re lief conunittee of China .

2.
RAT HAS THE Ls .& DONE
THIS YEAR?
Thousands of books have been
sent to men in prison camps in
Germany, I t a 1 y, Switzerland ,
France, England, Canada, Australia, the Per East and the United
States . . . Periodic visits are made
to various prison camps in many
of these countries to discuss and
encourage the educational leader s
in their efforts to maintain the
camp schools.
Through the co-operation of th e
YMCA and the Red Cross arrangements have been made for English
and Canadian prisoners of war I n
Germany to take Oxford, Cam bridge and University of London
examinations .
The European Student Relief
Fund is acting as the agent fo r
much of this work. The only Polish
universities in existence today ar e
those sponsored by the E.S .R.F. in
Switzerland .
Food parcels have been sent t o
starving students in Belgium ,
Greece, and China .
Laboratory equipment has been
sent to re-equip the laboratories
destroyed in the bombing of the
University of Kharkoy in Russi a
In Canada 90 interned refugee s
completed their McGill Junior and
Senior Matriculation examination s
during the summers of 1941 and
1942 with the assistance of the
European Student Relief Fund .
SEND BOOKS
The schools in many of the other
internment camps are being supported by way of books and other
supplies by the fund . In China
relief work among students has
been carried on since the beginning of the Sino-Japanese war .
Students have trekked thousands
of miles literally carrying their,
universities on their backs to th e
hinterland where they have set
them up again in whatever facilities were available, often in caves
and mud huts.
s
3. WHAT CAN UDC STUDENTS
DO TO HELP IN THIS WORK?
For CHINA help to maintain th e
flow of trained students so needed
to develop China's resources . . .
For EUROPE help strengthen th e
morale of students who will be th e
hope for peace in Europe . . For
RUSSIA help provide needed medicine for evacuated students . , . For
CANADA help prepare our fellow students imprisoned in Europe and
Asia for their post-war world .

bridge of hope and trust toward
the future and keep alive the fellowship upon which peace an d

• THE MAN whose 'bbitsf biography you will scan this
week, dear reader, followe" Lynn Sully, both in these "Personality Parade" columns and also, in Lynn's office of MAA .
We refer to Harry Frar'illti ;
Since coming to last year, Harry has taken a
prominent part in the extrq,curricular life of this institution .
He first made his name' .familiar to Varsity students as sta r
guard of the "Winless Wtiders" edition of last year's Thunderbird Basketball team . We remember at that time, readin g
in the papers before . the season started UBC's line-up and
none of the speculations S' to who was to start for Varsit y
and who would be the kei,aaen on the team, gave much space
or mention to a relatjyelr,unknown Freshman on the team ,
one Harry FrankIn—formerly of San Diego State College .
Well, our boy Hhrr surprised them all . He soon
earned a berth in Vargi'g'ptarting line-up and proved t o
be one of the brighter spots in the Thunderbird attac k
throughout the season,,'f lshing the year in tenth place among the intercity sharpshooters with a total of 90 points .
This made him seconc, high scorer on the Varsity club .
(Lefty Barton was first . )
One popular m eeption about Harry, which man y
students including us this ght, was that Harry was an American . As a matter of fact, Franklin was born right here i n
Vancouver, and although he moved from this fair city at the
age of ten, it was to take up residence in a remote corner of
this country, namely, Toronto "the good ".
The States finally claimed our wandering boy after
Intra•Mural Softbal l
Tournament This Week
q AT FRIDAY'S meeting of the
, Infra-Mural Council, the forthcoming softball league, track meet ,
and golf tourney were discussed .
It was decided, first, that soft ball would have to be reduced to
a straight knock-out tournament
because of the short amount of
time left in the season. The draw
for the first round, which must be
played off by Saturday, March 12,
I. now ported on the Intra-Mural
Notice Board in the gymnasium.
There are no restrictions as to
where the fist-round games may
be played, but they must be played sometime this week, and, as Mr .
Van Wet emphasised, It is up to
the captains to sea that they are
played by Saturday .
As a result of the change of
plans from a league to a tournament, the 900 points originally awarded to baseball may be cut
down to 180.
Dates for the second of the topics
under discussion, track, were decided two days, starting Tuesday,
run two days, starting Tuesday,
March 23, and continuing, after a
short pause for relaxation, the following Thursday.
Tuesday's program consists of :
50 yard dash, half-mile, broad
jump, and discus.
The meet will wind up Thursday
with the following events being
reeled off 100-yard dash, one-mile
high jump, shot put, and relay,
The relay will be 440 yards an d
the teams entered will consist o f
four men, of which each membe r
runs 110 yards of one-quarter of
the course.
There b a limit to the amber
of events that any one man can
enter. He Is restricted to two
events plus partdpata in the
four-men relay. Team restriction
is one entry to an event.
There is a possibility that IntraMural activity this month will include a golf tournament If you
wish to ere this tourney held, then
send your entry in to Mr. Van
Vliet's office by Thursday of this
weak. Only stipulation for would! contestants is that their individual handicap must be more than
TEN.
If ten entries are not received
by Thursday of this week, the n
the tournament will be cancelled.

Varsity's starting Imo-up will
probably be Norma Ford and Eileen McKUlop, forwards ; Pauline
Greer, centre ; Helen Matheson
and Jackie Vance, guards. Pauline, incidentally ,has the most deceptive pivot shot in the league ,
and is one of the leading scorers.
Norma's specialty is a one-handed
long shot which almost invarial y
finds the hoop . Jaclhle and Eileen
are both left-handers who cause n o
end of trouble to their checks.
Helen Matheson, last, but not

but she Ilse scores her share from

Grads last Saturday, as Varsit y
ran right through them, scorin g
five goals to Britannia's nil. The
co-eds played one of the bes t
games seen so far this year . Probably, there will be an even bette r
one when Varsity and Ex-Kits
tangle .
Barbara Greene was the big gun
of the Varsity attack, scoring two
goals and assisting in others . Jean
Handling, Doreen Parks, and
Marg. Rodger each tallied once .
Varsity forwards worked well to .
gather this week after the poor
showing they made last time out.
Paring was particularly seed.
Barbara Greene has been givin g
the leading scorers a run for thei r
money, and may possibly end up
out on top o fthe scoring heap.
Next week Varsity will probably
take on Ex-Kits in which the feegue lead will be determined . The
Kltailano gals won the pre-Christmas title and are out to sweep th e
post-Christmas play also.

of opposing checks and local referees to a frazzle with his ,
to put it mildly, caustic comment ; . As an example of this we
remember a recent game played' out at the Varsity gym .
Gummy Leach and Ted Milton were whistle-tooting that game
and at half-time the two of them were seated down in th e
dressing-room talking to' another referee, Joe Hall, who wa s
taking a busman's holiday by conning out to watch the game .
At the end of the half $ipp1 break, just before Leach an d
Milton were going up to ref the sicond half, Joe Hall turne d
to Milton and said, "Well, Ted, I'm sure the game can b e
controlled well in this second half by the three of you, your self, Gummy, and Franklin ."
Well, to get back to our hero's adventures in the U.S .,
or the Rover Boy in America, Harry spent one year in Sa n
Diego State College, before coming north to teturn to Canada .
At San Diego State, he continued his basketball and basebal l
activities, playing on the first-string Fresh teams . He averaged 11 points per game, playing on the basketball squad,
and was with them the year (1940) they won the National
Inter-Collegiate Little All-American Championship played
Pt Kansas City (whew) .
Well, to make a long story short (heh, heh) , Harr y
finally came back to his hometown, where, as we said earlier ,
he played on last year's UBC Senior basketball team. His
activities this year are, '4d' g down a starting guard position with our Thunderbird basketball team, of which he i s
floor captain ; member of the MAD ; and now, newly-elected
