• OTTAWA : Right at the mo ment, there is a well-founde d
rumour going around semi-officia l
circles in Ottawa that the votin g
age is to be reduced at the nex t
federal election from twenty-on e
to eighteen years. It is not possible to secure any official wor d
on the subject, since it is obviou s
that it is to the advantage of al l
concerned to keep the answer sec ret, for a while yet at least .
Actually, it probably doesn' t
matter very much, one way or an other . The tendency is towards a
broadening down of the pyramid ,
and it is just a matter of determhting when the level of "commonsense" required of a voter i s
attained in the development of a
young person .
The phrase "Sinatra for Pres .
.dent" pretty well sums up th e
standard reaction of olde r
people towards allowing young
people to vote at eighteen .
They are opposed to It because
they feel that young peopl e
cannot decide sensibly the is sues facing them at any elec .
don .
What political advantage th e
present government might expec t
to obtain from the lowering of the
voting age is a, little difficult to
determine, Young people are not
easily bought by any kind of con .
anion, and they might regard the
lowering of the voting age as jus t
that Then, too, they are, as a
group, strongly , interested in som e
kind of change, and might be expected to lean against me gov
eminent in any poi*.
The whole matter, howdver,
must rest as what It Is, pure conjecture. The government is pretty
well pledged not to introduce an y
controversial legislation at this
next session, and it is almost certain that many of Its own supporters would regard a lowerin g
of the voting age as just that . The
whole rumour may have arisen be cause of the activities of the Ontario Legislative Assembly, whic h
Ip considering a motion to reduce
the Voting age to eighteen .
But, on the other hand, Mr.
•
> Mg is full of surprises, and n o
One knows what Is going to hap gut• with htdn until it has taken
Palace. ,It it quite .possible that he
Ism planned this course of actio n
deliberately, without much expectation of its success . He would
like very much to be able to say
that he was unable to introduce
'"progressive" legislation in, this
House of Commons in order to increase the possibility of his securing a mandate for the next.

The severance of his economi c

McGILL COTC WAIVES $1200 FOR GY M
MONTREAL, March 15—(CUP )
—McGill University members
will contribute $1200 to the McGil l
War Memorial Campaign. The
$1200 will come out of the pay of
the 1200 cadets of 1944-45 . The
total amount contributed by th e
COTC now equals $20,000 whic h
includes $3,000 "special reserv e
fund" and $5,000 which has already
been promised from Corps Reserv e
Funds accumulated prior to 1942
ar a donation from the volunteer
cadets of that date .
This contribution will be considered as a part of the studen t
contribution towards the Graduat e
Society's campaign for funds t o
add a swimming pool to the present Sir Arthur Currie Memorial
•
Gymnasium Armoury .
The total of $12,000 which
will be taken front the pay o f
next year's COTC cadets wil l
be available for the fund "if
headquarters 'pay will be received for the full numbers o f
Cadets In training ."
Owing to the disbanding of th e
University Air Squadron whose
members were subsequently en rolled in the COTC the strengt h
of the COTC has been raised t o
1200 . If the Headquarters pay for
the establishment takes this in crease into account the full contribution can be made .
Lr order to clarify the pay-waiving situation the Commanding Offlcer of the McGill Corps has issu-
ed the following statement :
Following the custom of the
Corps since its organization in 1912 ,
up to and including the year 1942 ,
the pay of all ranks, Officers ,
NCO's and Cadets, whether for
training at local headquarters o r
at camp, was assigned to Regimental Funds, and the proceed s
used to defray the expenses o f
operation, training and administration, arld the provision of equipment and furniture, etc ., which
has enabled the Contingent to ac quire, without private subscriptio n
or financial assistance from t h e
University, the splendid facilitie s
which it has today, other than, o f
course, t h e original Armour y
Building itself .
EDITORIAL PAGE . . . .
l'1
~ol . 10 Pt.
Editors, you know, are very huma n
people. Were not cold-blooded machine s
out to degrade mankind, or heartless monsters of the deep preying upon the innocent .
Sometimes, when provoked, we get fairl y
ruthless, but on the whole we're kind of
sentimental . Really, we are.
Particularly sentimental, and especially
around this time of year, are Ubyssey editors. For soon we will be no more than a
name in the files . Our bright-eyed successor
is already crowding us out of these columns ,
which we have had to ourself exclusivel y
for so long a time .
And so the old emotion comes upon us
as we write our last "edit . . .111 1MI col.
10 pt. " , which we have done nine times a
week since those fi rst days in September,
when we were bright-eyed, eager and ful l
of big campaigns .
It hasn't seemed so very long ago sinc e
we walked into the Pub to be immediatel y
sent by a surly sports editor to the stadiu m
to see if a new mat had been put on th e
boxing ring, We reported back a few hour s
later, very close to the deadline, that it wa s
not on yet, and found ourself a reporter .
We've been here ever since, and now th e
forces of natural evolution are pushing u s
out.
Working for the Publications Board i s
a unique experience, which no pubster will
ever forget . Our four years have jammed a
host of memories in our mind that someho w
don't seem to fade no matter how far awa y
they get.
We shall never forget our first "God",
Archibald T. Paton, He was the archetype
of all we ever dreamed of being, the highest ,
the mightiest, the wisest of the species . He
spoke, and we jumped. But the archetype
crumbled in each successive "God", as w e
became more familiar with this peculia r
type of being, until we received the crow n
and the archetype dissolved altogether .
It's been a strange and uninhibited
group we've been associated with the past
four years . Old Archetype Paton, who tried
so hard to dignify himself from sports edito r
to editor-in-chief, brought a monkey-like
mannerism to the pub which we all tried t o
copy. It consisted of putting one's left han d
in one's left pocket, holding one's cigarette
in the other hand (extended slightly), sticking one's stomach out abnormally, and quoting something very wise and significant. We
soon ran out of significant quotes, but Paton
didn't.
That year was also made great by Re porter John Gununow, who sat throughou t
a Pub party with his bended head resting
on his folded arms . We always wondered
why. Another unexplained mystery was the
constant mumbling of "60,000" by Senio r
Editor Les Bewley, who gave this forth t o
the world at odd moments as if expectin g
the world to shatter at its sound .
We suppose that we learned every
. . THE
swear word in the English language, and th e
odd one from Hindustani, when News Manager Andrew Snaddon used to give the staf f
its monthly quota of "hell" for misdemeanours . Later on 'they made him editor-inchief and he had to brush up on his Hindustani . But the greatest of them all wa s
Senior Editor Jack MacMillan, who had th e
funny little habit of climbing up on th e
stone table at press after setting the last lea d
slug in the paper to gaze down at his work
and exclaim, "Well, it looks like anothe r
good issue". The last we heard from hi m
was when he shot a co-ed at Queen's University.
Then there was one-rotund Lionel Salt ,
a legend around here, who would have writ ten his master's thesis on sex if he coul d
have passed French 2 . We are told tha t
Salt once shocked a Freshette into secon d
year while discoursing on the subject of sex .
His idol, "Star Bright", now hangs in th e
editor-in-chief's office for a lasting reminder
of Salt and for the constant delight of th e
present editor.
Speaking of Tubby reminds us of Dinah ,
known professionally as Margaret Reid, th e
red-headed editor-in-chief of last year wh o
brought glamour to the Pub . We needed it.
Dinah had an aversion to being called snakehips, which attribute we all vowed belonged
solely to her . The name was given to he r
by appreciative Peter Remnant, who holds
the record for breaking more Pub chairs
than any other pubster in the last twenty
years. Before we leave office we're goin g
to completely smash a chair against the wall
and then run like mad . That's our ambition
No. 2. Ambition No . 1 was that split infinitive.
There is also Surly John Ferry, wh o
"lost interest" in the Pub, to retrieve it this
year when he "lost interest " in a certain
institution, which is rapidly decreasing in
interest for a number of people . And we
mustn't forget Cheery Chuck, Virginia ,
Maury and a great mass of pubsters whic h
we can't mention here because Morris sold
an ad under us and we're running out of
space. Up to his old tricks again . Bless his
little, black heart.
Every editorial should have a moral to
it. The printed word seems too valuable to
most of us to waste on sentimental dribble ,
and in an editorial it cannot be tolerated .
Maybe so . We started this as a protest because we felt that we were losing something. As we wrote we realized that we ha d
gained, and UBC had lost.
Even so, we have a certain reluctan t
feeling as. we write "30 " to our last editorial .
For we realize it is not "30" for UBC . The
transcendental life of a university, its existence above an in-and-out flow of thousand s
of students, is magnificent to comprehend .
Above it stands, bestowing friendship an d
sound learning on a passing parade of thos e
dedicated against cynicism of huma n
progress .

People have again started to be come unreal and have started to
attend that sham Gothic building
situated half-way between the
Pub and the bus-stop.
They go into that thing with a
glassy look In their eyes and after
a lapse of a few hours or a few
minutes they come out, their eyes

makes me sad to see these
people in such an unreal state of
being. It makes me sad to see
them stagger from lecture to library, from library to lecture and
then from library to home an d
from home to library. It isn't often you sec people get dizzy from
travelling in a triatngle.
These people are making thei r
mark on the upper end of the behaviour chart of UBC students.
The people in the Caf, referre d
to earlier in this incoherent bi t
of rambling in an etomologist' a
book of don'ts, are just able to
make heir mark on the lower aid
of the scale .
As for the apses in between, i t
is just space and as there are always people and things in betwee n

I shall just label them in-betweeners .
The title in-betweener is not
such a dishonor. It is not a dishonor but neither is it an honor .

All of this gets finally around to
the reason behind the unreal loo k

REVISION BOAR REJECTS
D FACULTY DELEGATE S
By JIM WILSON, REVISION BOARD CHAIRMA N
• DIRECT FACULTY representation (Arts, Aggie, Scienc e
and Corn.) on Council was rejected by the Board afte r
having been discussed at great length under the genera l
headings of Efficiency, Fair Representation, Continuity, an d
Contact with the Student Body . Briefly, the points pro an d
con are as follows :
therefore not making their ful l
PRO : 41.) Would provide the
broadest possible bane for representation on Council
(2.) Would possibly provide
more effective criticism
(3.) Would provide a potential
source of workers to do some o f
duties of Council
(t) Would possibly stimulate
the activities of the Undergraduate Societies
CON : (1 .) Would not make for
more efficient functioning of
Council.
(2.) Would not provide com plate undergraduate representation on Council
(I) Would not further continuity
(4.) Would in all probability
lead to factional disputes and interests
(6.) Would further overlappin g
of existing representation
(0.) Would increase the responsibllky of the President in maintaining discipline and allocating
Wait to keep thus members busy .
(9.) Would have no real function except as undergraduat e
representatives
(I) Tried before when University• only one-third as large and
was dropped
FACULTY REPRESENTATIO N
The following points evolve d
from the discussion on direct faculty representation:
(1.) That the functional aspect
of Council was predominant ove r
all others
(2.) That the functional upset
should be strengthened and not
)weakened
(3.) That from the functiona l
point at view, the position of MUS
was most unsatisfactory
(4.) That from the point o f
view of unfair representation on
Council, it was the 1st, 2nd, an d
3rd Year students who had a legitimate "protest" as all Counci l
members, with the exception of
hider Member, are 4th or 5t h
year students
(5.) ' That Council needed more
members to help with some of th e
work
(6.) That the Undergraduate
Society Organizations were th e

contribution to student government on the campus.
Therefore, the Board resolve d
that an Undergraduate Societies
Committee be established, composed of the executives of each
Undergraduate Society, and tha t
the Committee have a Constitution
clearly defining its Object, Structure, and Function . The main
points of which are as follows :
1 . Object :
(a) To promote, direct, control and coordinate the activitie s
of the various Undergraduat e
Societies through their Executives on this Committee
(b) To act as the medium \
through which the undergraduate body can effectively express
their views on matters important to them as members of the
Alma Meter Society
(c) To safeguard the constitutional rights of all members of
the Alma Mater Society in th e
matters of elections, special and
general meetings, expenditures ,
discipline, et cetera
2. Function or Duties :
(a) To act as a permanent
discipline committee completel y
assuming the duties thereof
(b) To devise a new awards
system in conjunction with Athletta, LSE, and Publications. It
is recommended that the new
system be on a point basis and
that the award represent a summation of a student's activities
while at the University. It L
also recommended that this
Committee be responsible for the
administration of the new system and the issuing of the A3. That the members of this
Committee have the right to elec t
their own Chairman who shall re place the President of MUS o n
Council.
4. That the Undergraduate Societies Committee meet once eac h
week, preferably Monday, 12:30 to
1:30 .
Thus it was the aim of the
Board to eliminate the confusio
n
of the existing MUS "set-up," re vitalize the Undergraduate Society Organizations, provide for th e
function of the proposed "Adviscry Council" idea, and at the same
time leave Cpuncil free to work a s
swiftly and as efficiently as possible .
WUS RENAMED
The creation of the Undergraduate Societies Committee necessitates the renaming of the WUS
organization, and it Is suggested
by the Board that this Organization hereafter be called the University Women's Association, and
that its representative on Counci l
be the Chairman thereof,
SOCIAL CO .ORDINATOR
In keepbg with the aim of making Council as functional a bod y
as possible, It was also decided:
That a new position, Coordinator of Social Activities, be crated
That two standing committees b e
set up under his chairmanship,
one for the coordination of all
activities, and the other to administer the Pus Feature System
That this member of Council be
elected at large
LSE PREY
In keeping with the aim of making Council as factional a body as
possible, It was also decided :
That the President of LSE be elected by and from the Q8E
That his duties as President, if
conscientiously done, are more
than enough to keep hint busy ,
Therefore, the Pass Feature Sys.

SOPH MEMBER
To satisfy the need of having
someone available, not tied down
with permanent duties, it Is proposed by the Board :
That a Sophomore Member be

That for the time being be be
elected at larg e
That his duty be to assist any
Council Member at the instruo tion of the President
That the duties of the Junio r

PEEPER'S PAPER . .
• I WOULD hasten to assure my
readers that although my family has always been landed and
although I have chosen my profession with due regard to famil y
tradition, that I have no particular prejudices concerning th e
young man who chooses a mercantile vocation or one who goes
into trade. It is unfortunate that
many young men of good famil y
are prevented from entering this
lucrative and interesting field be cause of the class sentiment tha t
has always existed in many excellent kinship groups . It is fortunate, I ale sure, that in this day,
unlike that of my father's, many
younger sons of younger son s
have found their way into trade ,
thus preserving their economic
position even though their social
position, in the eyes of some, i s
damaged beyond repair.
I have often observed that th e
Commerce Department of our university is replete with ambitious
hopefuls attempting to adop t
themselves to the habits and manners of their chosen profession . It
is with certainty that I offer as a
model to the commercial aspirants
in our midst, young Sperling Algernon Blythe-Wickham. He I.
directly descended from that excellent house of Blythe-Wickha m
which was the foundation of the
title of Marquis of Donnaconda
and Restigouche, bestowed upon
Wm. Blythe-Wickham by a gratful sovereign for his renowned
leadership of the small but effective contingent of Canadian volunteers at the Battle of Inhuman i n
November, 1364. The branch of
the Blythe-Wickham family to
which young Sperling belongs i s
now resident on East Seventh I n
this city, there they manage, all belt with difficulty, to maintain
the vestiges of family pride . The
family is certain that Sperling wil l
make a great success in the business world, and if the opinion of
his professors are of value, h e
needs must cut a dealing figure
by PEEPER
in commercial society .
I have heard, from my Infrequent intercourse with tradesme n
and mechanics, handling as I d o
my estate and financial disbursements through my solicitors, tha t
the more important and successful
of them are not spoken of b y
name but referred to by their
first two initials . This custom has
led to the appelatlon of our young
man to be reduced to merely S .A.
by his fellow students . This is
undoubtedly an honor not to b e
taken lightly in the Commerc e
department where such a distinction is conferred only upon those
Arho measure up to the Ideal of
the "Young Keen Business Man, "
whose picture one may still see I n
old copies of the Times, illustrating advertisements for cigarettes.
Rimless glasses, determined and
prominent jaw, steel-grey eyes,
and thin, closed lip ensure success in commercial enterprises.
These young S .A. poetesses to a
marked degree .
One day last autumn, seated at
Underhill's, I began to worry (a n
Infrequent occurence) about m y
stocks in the East India Compan y
and their somewhat diminished
returns due to the war, 'Twas no t
long till I spied S .A . striding down
upon me with his firm, determine d
tread. I could not but help observe that S.A., with his gleamin g
satchel (which he is never with out) and his somewhat shiny pinstriped suit, looked the very laureation of efficiency and assurance .
He seated himself, and after plea Mg his satchel on the table, leane d
close to me, had gazing directly
at me, said that he guessed the
reason for my worried expression .
I blushed at the thought that I
had betrayed my feelings to thi s
degree because I have .Jways at tempted to pre sin the calm and
unruffled expression , of my Algonquin vest-grandmother, whom
I admire a great deal.

THE UBYSSEY, MARCH 15, 194 .5 - Page Four
Report 'of the Special Committe e
Down Victoria Naval College X V
for revision of the MAD constitutio n
PREAMBLE:
During an average year, the M
AD administers extra-mural athletics in which 600 male students tak e
an active part, playing 385 leagu e
games before an estimated 55,000
spectators . MAD controls basket b a 1 1, English rugby, Canadia n
football, soccer, and such non revenue producing sports as track ,
golf, badminton, swimming, ic e
hockey, rowing, skiing, and mountaineering .
Teams are entered not only in
local leagues, but also in inter city and inter-collegiate leagues.
At present, some sports are cur tailed because of wartime restrictions, but in the postwar period ,
athletics will have to expand t o
provide facilities for increased enrolment at the University of British Columbia .
USE QUESTIONNAIR E
The MAD recognizes not onl y
the need for future expansion, bu t
also the need for revision of th e
present athletic organization .
With these views in mind, the Di rectorate set up a committee t o
study the organization of athletic s
at other Canadian and America n
colleges of comparable size.
A questionnaire was sent to
these universities, asking specific questions regarding thei r
athletic organization and re questing any advice they coul d
give the Committee so that it
might have as much information on hand as possible before
coming to any conclusions regarding revision of the constitution .
The universities questione d
showed a genuine interest In th e
problem and responded well to th e
questionnaire, providing the Committee with a great number of
facts which are attached to this
report in a table (viz., Table I) .
POINTS IN COMMON
Upon examining the reports
from these universities, the Committee found the following features to be common to most of
the athletic organizations:
1. Extra-mural athletics are
administered by an athleti c
board. This board is responsible for all extra-mural athletics.
2. A definite sum of money is
set aside to administer athletics.
3. A paw system is in operation to admit students to
athletic events on the campu s
4. The university authorities
maintain the playing field s
and gymnasiums.
Besides reviewing the athleti c
organizations of other universities,
the Committee carried out a de tailed study of the AMS books in
an effort to obtain a true picture
of the cost of athletics to the Society . Athletic expenditures an d
revenues were examined for the
period from 1930 to 1944. A summarized statement for these years
is attached to this report in tabulated form (viz . Table II) .
25 PERCENT MINIMU M
It can be seen that the net oost
of athletics to the AMS was lowest in 1937 which was the year of
greatest expenditure, The average
cost to the Society in pre-wa r
years amounted to approximatel y
$3,000 per year. Th1s is approximately 25 per cent of the General
AMS Fund .
(At present, $3 is allocated to the
Brock Memorial Retirement Fund
and $3 to the Pass Fund . The remaining $7 per student constitute s
the General AMS Fund . )
It Is obvious that 25 percen t
of the General AMS Fund Is
sufficient only for minimu m
operating expenses of extra mural athletics in an academi c
year on the present basis, an d
therefore it is felt that som e
provision f o r overdraughts
must be made to take care of
extraordinary expend! tares
such as guarantees, travelling
expenses, etc ., s u c h over draughts to be repaid by the
MAD before the close of th e
academic year .
Past experience shows that it re quires approximately $3,000 t o
bring a basketball team from th e
East to play in the Canadian
Championships, $1,000 to bring a n
English rugby team from California to play for the "World" Cup ,
and $1700 to send a Canadian football team to the Prairies to play
In inter-collegiate competition .
COUNCIL VARIES
In the years when these expenses were incurred, it was necessary ,
to have the cash on hand for th e
guarantees to the visiting teams ,
and for the expenses of sendin g
out UBC teams. However, these
years (viz. Table II, 1937) proved
to be years of greatest revenu e
and hence those of least expense
to the AMS .
In addition, It must be noted
that policies of Students' Council vary from year to year.
Some Councils are primaril y
Interested' in sports, others i n
metal activities, others in Alma
Mater administration, and stil l
others in University expansion.
Because the athletic program is
flexible and financial demands
vary from year to year, It is nee emery for the MAD to have complete control of its finances, in stead of being dependent on th e
attitude of any particular Council,
in order that it can plan ahead fo r
major expenditures .
NO PASS GRANT
The Pass System makes no direct and regular contribution to the
operating expenses of student Mbletics. However, an =tout approximating $500 per year is paid from
the Pass System funds to the various leagues for the privilege of
allowing students free admissio n
to league games oft fiat campus .
No such compensation I s
made In respect to athleti c
events which are staged on the
university campus . Yet these
home games are the onl y
source of revenue for student
athletics. Therefore, the Committee considers that some re adjustment regarding dblrlbution of Pass System funds to
athletics should be made .
From an exhaustive study of the
data available and of the conditions under which university
sports have been administered In

Creighton Reports On MAD Revisio n
PREAMBLE:
The adoption of the proposals of the Men's Athletic Directorate wil l
necessitate only minor changes in the bookkeeping procedure . It ,is unnecessary to institute a complete new set of books .
The change in procedure necessary will be the introduction of a
small voucher form to be used by the Treasurer or MAD to authoriz e
the President and Treasurer of the AMS to make payment for the MAD .
PETTY CASH, TOO
These forms directing payment would be attached to the back of th e
AMS voucher form with the bill and would require the initials of th e
President and Traesurer of the MAD .
The present petty cash fund will be used with the MAD Treasurer
checking off expenditures after they have been made . The Treasurer of
MAD will be required to obtain the MAD's approval on all expenditure
s
and revenue by having petty cash receipts, cheque register and journa l
vouchers passed at the MAD meetings .
Memo Re Athletic Financial Change Proposal :
As the proposal stands 'at the present time the MAD will receive a
specific grant from the Students' Council each year, To begin with, thi s
grant will be around $3,000 which is based on the average expenditures
in normal years in the past .
However, as the expenditures for athletics are heavy at the beginning of the academic year, and the revenue from the student fees doe s
not arrive from the Bursar's Office until October or November, it will
be necessary to advance money to the MAD at this time of the year .
PROFITS GREAT
The profits from athletics are greatest during the closing month s
of the academic year because of play-offs and final games, and this
may mean that advances will have to be made throughout the entir e
year.
The only change necessary in the ledger will be the addition of
an MAD Account which will correspond to present AMS Fees Account
fee the MAD.
It has been suggested that all the regular athletic accounts suds a s
accounts for individual clubs and teams be segregated in one section od th e
ledger to facilitate reference.
PASS GRANT, TOO
It has been suggested that' $1100 be given from the Pass Syste m
to the Athletic Board to administer and provide athletic entertainmen t
for the students. This would require the setting up of an athletic pass
system account which would be included In the Athletic Section of th e
ledger.
This grant would be made from the Pass System just as the grants
to the Vancouver Rugby Union and Basketball League are made eac h
year.
It is understood that the athletic directorate Ls authorized to charg e
the students not more than ten cents for admission to pass system featur e
games on the condition that no more than $600 be required to pay fo r
the cost of the games.
