And it Came to Pass
UBC students of the year 1944-45 will
always remember the "great Arts revival" .
November 16, 1944 will live long in th e
minds of all under-graduates . The event will
probably be commemorated for years t o
come .
For on that date we saw the impossible.
That dormant entity, Arts Spirit, breathed
anew on this campus. It panted its way
across the campus in a triumphant surge o f
new-found power . For the first time in a
sorry history, the Artsmen were united .
The common question now is "How can
we keep the Artsmen down? "
The Arts executives believe that Artsmen will have to be "toned down " now
because of several incidents last Thursday .
They believe, and we agree, that inter-faculty rivalry should never again be allowe d
to come so close to the danger point .
We applaud the efforts of the Artsme n
to unify their faculty, but we also point ou t
to both the Artsmen and Engineers tha t
UBC wants friendly, rather than malicious
rivalry .
It is a credit to Artsmen and Engineer s
that nothing happened Thursday which w e
all would regret today . The Engineers showed true UBC spirit by staying away from
the Arts affair and disregarding the taunt s
of the snake paraders.
A few Engineers could not hold them selves back, but they see their mistake now .
The Artsmen know they should not hav e
paraded before the Science building . The
mob spirit can even get the best of university students.
Under the intelligent leadership whic h
both faculties are blessed with this year ,
Artsmen and Engineers can continue their
friendly rivalry, their faculty spirit, and at
the same time work for their university .
The Engineers welcome Artsmen bac k
into the fold of student activities . The Artsmen did the impossible, and it is up to th e
Artsmen to continue the impossible . Let's
hear no more talk of squelching Arts energy ,
Instead, let's divert it into other channels .
Let us divert it into channels which we o n
The Ubyssey would be proud to report i n
our columns, instead of snake parades, pape r

Canadian Unit y
Members of Parliament are rushin g
back to Ottawa this week to attend one o f
the most important sessions of the Hous e
of Commons. Canadian unity, that favorit e
debating topic, will be the vital issue of th e
session.
This thing called unity, which we all
discuss, but never do anything about, now
holds the attention of every Canadian . The
other issues, conscription and reinforcemen t
of the Army, are important at this time, bu t
our prime concern is unity .
The government must find the necessar y
troops for our European Armies . Whether
conscription or the voluntary system is best
for this is up to those in charge . To have a
fully-manned Army on a voluntary basi s
would be a source of pride for all Canadians .
If this is not possible, then the only alternative is conscription .
But whatever our appointed expert s
decide it is up to the whole of Canada t o
follow . Some people have said 'that th e
English speaking Canadians must conced e
the conscription question to the Frenc h
speaking Canadians for the sake of unity .
•
This was all very well when the voluntar y
system was working, but if it is breakin g
down, the situation changes . It is up to the
French speaking Canadians to concede .
We must admit the difference of opinion
exists. We must also kdmit that the question
can be solved. We have faith in French Canadians . We think that they too believe
in the land where they live and its future .
We think that Canadian unity will work it self out through members of parliament voting to follow whichever course they deem
necessary for the existence of Canada .
Several thousand miles from the scene
we argue very idealistically . It seems to us ,
however, that what this country needs is a
leader who can capture the imagination o f
the people and develop their enthusiasm fo r
Canada . We need someone to express those
ideals in the language of the people .
As the people of the United States vote d
against isolationism for the good of thei r
country and the world, so must Canadians
forget their sectional differences of opinio n
and vote for the good of Canada . It took a
great leader to accomplish this below th e
border. Have we one in Canada ?
people and things .
• THE OTHER day when I made one o f
my infrequent trips through the Arts
Common Room, I happened to notice a
rather queer assortment of signs on th e
notice board .
There were two large multi-colore d
signs posted on the ends of the board and
a sign advertising that the Mamooks would
make signs or posters for clubs or organizations, in the middle .
To me this was ver y
ironic.
Ordinarily there would
be nothing odd about it, bu t
as it happened, neither of th e
signs on the ends of th e
board were made by the
Mamooks. They did not hav e
the required Mamook stam p
on them.
The sign in the middle,
the one allegedly made by
the Mamooks to advertise themselves, an d
so their sign-making, was so badly mad e
that it took at least two looks to tell wha t
it was supposed to say.
The sign will probably keep more club s
away from the Rainbow Room than it wil l
bring . But then, that might be a good thing
too.
It is a well known fact that this year
the Mamooks are having a very hard tim e
trying to keep up with all the orders fo r
signs and posters which the various clubs
and organizations have submitted .
You know it, I know it, the club presi dents know it and the Mamooks know it . We
all know it only too well.
We have all seen the posters which hav e
been appearing on the campus since the be ginning of the term .
There have been good posters and bad
ones, but the standard has been fairly high —
for the ones which have actually hit th e
campus .
I do not know the ratio of posters made
. .
by Cal Whitehead
and the orders submitted, but I could hazard
a guess that it is in the neighborhood of 3 :4 .
Going by these figures (although I
would not vouch for them to a Mamook), we
see that some of the posters will not ge t
done. Then it logically follows that the least
important of them will be left out . This
frequently happens .
The posters with the highest prioritie s
are made first and the others are left unti l
later, but when later comes there are usually
more high priority posters to be done .
A pat on the back may not mean ver y
much to the members of the Mamooks who
paint the signs and posters, in view of wha t
I have said in the previous paragraphs, bu t
regardless of that, I think that they ar e
doing a wonderful job. It is just that there
are so few who have to do so much for
so many .
The mere fact that the Mamooks canno t
make signs for every organization, becaus e
of the extreme shortage of sign-makers, will
not stop an organization from wanting one
or needing one .
Club presidents go elsewhere to ge t
their signs made . They may make the m
themselves, get friends to make them, o r
have them made professionally—but they
get them made .
Any of these three procedures is illega l
according to the Code of the Alma Mate r
Society. That is, they are illegal unless th e
signs so made are approved and stampe d
by the Mamooks.
This all gets us back to the group o f
notices in the Arts Common Room : two illegal non-Mamook signs sandwiching a use less Mamook sign .
It is up to Ron Grantham, president o f
the Mamooks, to enforce the proper rule s
regarding signs and posters on the campus .
It is by the enforcement of these regulations
that a high standard of signs and posters ca n
he attained .

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Editor, The Ubyssey .
Dear Sir :
It would be useless to pretend
that the members of the Players '
Club were not hurt by the reception given Eugene O'Neill's "In
the Zone ." The devastating effect
of the hilarious attitude of th e
audience on the morale of the
actors and the club members i n
general, is no doubt incomprehensible to most of the students who
attended, many of whom left the
house seemingly unaware of an y
failings in their conduct.
Why was the play received i n
such a manner? Neither the pla y
nor the acting was at all hammy ,
sage student critics assure us . "We
would have wept had the other s
not been laughing," a coed' s re mark, typifies the attitude of the
audience . The roots of the unseemly levity must therefore lie
elsewhere . I dare not suggest thct
an audience of UBC students Is
incapable of digesting an O'Neil l
play, in doing so I would expos e
myself to the lethal slings and arrows of the Dept . of Education .
Here is my explanation . There
are certain frustrated individuals
who take roost in front seats a t
every student performance, bar -
ring piano recitals and symphon y
concerts. These individuals are
never seen before the publi c
themselves, and are allegedl y
scornful of any Indication of exhibitionism. However, these individuals, in giving catcalls and cues
for hilarity, admit that they ar e
deeply jealous of those performing
on the stage .
Au'revoir, little individuals, see
you again at the Spring Play .
Yours very truly,
E. L . AFFLECK.

the Burlington "Zephyr" sped like a silver bulle t
on its first run from St . Paul to Chicago in 1934, the fam e
of a new structural material rang around the world . True ,
Stainless Steel had been used as early as 1916, but for th e
first time the amazing strength and rust proof qualities o f
Stainless Steel were utilized by modern designers and
engineers to revolutionize railway construction . This new
train was completely encased in Stainless Steel (8 %
Nickel, 18% Chromium), so thin—yet so strong
that weight and operating costs were reduced ,
and hours cut off its running time .
WHEN
Soon this alloy was being used in air planes, automobiles, hotel and hospita l
kitchens, in the pulp and paper, oil an d
chemical industries . Another new
market for Nickel with far-reachin g
peacetime possibilities was thus developed to replace and overshadow
the war markets lost in 1918 .
.
WILSON'S Glove and Hosiery,
575 Granville, is the store
where you will find the Ideal woman's gift . They carry lovely
gloves in all different styles, col ours, lengths, and, of course, in all
sizes . For beautiful formal gloves
or handsome all-wearing fabric of
leather finger fashions, you can't
beat Wilson's Glove and Hosiery .

Today Canadian Nickel is agai n
diverted to war purposes, an d

still greater contributions to
Canada's welfare .

Dear Luke,
HI there chief . What's the latest dope? From the Ubyssey s
which my old pal Shad (Howar d
Shadwell) sends me, I gather that
the callibre of this year s basketball teams is pretty good .
Talking about basketball, I ra n
Into your cousin Jack Pomfret an d
his pal Stan Nicol the other night .
They arrived here that morning
and were playing for the Fliers'
basketball team that night . The
last I heard of hun, ne was cavorting around the MY Gym pushing a' basketball for No . 9 CMU .
According to him, the last he
heard of me, I was playing basketball back east .
I also ran into Ritchie Nicol an d
Harold MacKenzie of the Currie
Barracks team. Both were at UBC
last year on the Army Course .
Lorne' Ross, former Domino player ,
!s coach of one of the teams here .
Remember Bob Scarabelli, th e
Vancouver College football and
basketball player? He's playin g
for the Shepherd Wolves, anothe r
Air Force team in this town . At
present they're tied for first plac e
with the U.S . Army Air Corps
team.
Talking about the Yanks, yo u
should have seen the game between the Yanks and No . 3 Fliers .
For the last ten minutes of th e
game, everyone in the place wa s
sitting on edge . There was neve r
more than three points difference .
What a game! I can see itt yet .
It was one of those games wher e
the lead changed hands with every basket scored . The final scor e
was 49-48 for the Yanks . Jack
Pomfret was really a standout fo r
the Fliers .
"Tiny" Thompson, the forme r
National Hockey Leage star, is
sports officer here, so we hav e
quite a collection of athletes.
I've run into quite a few kid s
from Vancouver lately. I met Art
Peers, the Phi Kappa Sig ; Zeke
Davies, who played on the UBC
American football team ; Ernie
Errioo and Don Inkster .
When I was back east, I me t
Don Livingstone and Betty Harvey, Campbell Williams, Russ
Manson and Jack Lightstone . I
also hear from your old pal Bil l
Morlock once in a while, too . (Editor's note : Bill happens to be
right here in the city on leave
these days . )
Well, Luke, I can't think of an y
more of the kids or news right
now so I'll close now in order t o
get this in tonight's mail . 'Bye
for now, Luke .

• BRILLIANT SCRUM HALF—Here is Gerry Jenvey, diminutive receiving half of UBC showing how a sta r
halfback scoops out the ball to his three-line, He will be seen in action this afternoon in the Stadium at 3 o'cloc k
when Ex-Britannia will meet the UBC fifteen . Jenvey will be in there to instill in his teammates enough of his spark for
them to go out and win the struggle . Now that it is gettin g close to the first McKechnie Cup game, it would be appreciated if a few hundred students would come out and cheer the players on to victory .
Stara In Third Year Of Rugger
by Fred Crombie
Gerry Jenvey Tries for McKecknie Tea m
GERRY JENVEY, diminutiv e
receiving half of the UBC
Blue and Gold, has burst fora in to the limelight on the wings o f
a spectacular jump from Hig h
School Bantam Ruby to where h e
Is battling Johnny Wheeler for the
receiving half position on the Mc Kechnie Cup team in the short
span of the years .
This being only his second yea r
at Varsity, Coach Doswell should
be able to develop him in the
coning years into a star who will
not soon be forgotten .
It was not until he was in his
last year at KitsUano High tha t
Gerry started his rugger career .
Playing inside three-quarter tha t
season, he led his team to the Inte r
High Championship, scoring seve n
tries during regular league competition. His 21 points not only
led the Kitsies in scoring, but also
the whole circuit.
Last year Jenvey played wit h
the Fresh team, showing up very
well even though he had only on e
season of experience behind him .
hi the playdowns for the Tisdal l
Cup in the spring . Gerry surprise d
everyone by topping the stare }
Dougie Reid and the rest of th e
rugger stalwarts in the Vancouve r
Rugby Football Union in the individual standings again chalkin g
up 21 points. However, this tim e
he showed his deadly kicking ability in scoring nine converts and a
penalty kick .
For this great achievement he
was named to the McKechnie Cu p
squad but failed to appear in th e
starting lineup, the managemen t
deciding that he was not heav y
enough for such a strenuous series . He was therefore kept i n
readiness in case there was an in jury to one of the backfield me n
being able to play anywhere i n
the three-line as well as fullbac k
and his regular scrum half position .
•
This season Jenvey has been the
spark of the UBC outfit right from
the start of the season .
Not being particularly speedy
like Ralston and Croll, he shows
great ability in being able to out wit his foes just by using his head .
When one thinks of the fact tha t
this is only his third year in the
game It becomes almost impossible
to understand how he progresse d
so rapidly .
Another fine quality that Jenvey possesses is his ability to keep
cool and collected, never getting
excited, but consistently chattering to keep the forwards fightin g
throughout the whole sixty minutes.
His lack of poundage has been
his most serious handicap as wa s
clearly shown when the Vancouver Reps met the Thunderbirds h 1
the Homecoming game on Oct . 28.
The 135 pound halfback was play -
Page Four
ing his regular position in place of
Johnny Wheeler, who was playing fullback .
But after taking a merciless
pounding in the first five minute s
of the contest, Doswell moved hi m
back to fullback, bringing in
Wheeler to set up the plays fo r
the three-line ,
Although he Is quite familiar at
the fullback spot, Jenvey would
not be happy playing that positio n
as was seen when he carried th e
ball from deep in the Birds' territory up to mid-field to start th e
three-quarters on their merry way
several times .
He has not had much chance to
figure in the scoring this year as
yet because of the fact that UBC
has not had a very successful sea son and thus they have given him
very few tries to convert. Harr y
Kabush has had to have some experience in place-kicking for the
Thunderbirds so Gerry has split
the kicking 4uties with him .
However, there are still the Tisdell and McKechnie Cups to follow Miller Cup play and he will
undoubtedly lead his team out o f
the doldrums into a challenging
place in the league standings .

By PETE McGEE R
i SO THIS CUTE little coed comes up to me and says, she says, "What
have you got against life in general that you always have to b e
snarling at someone in your column . Of course, she doesn't realize tha t
a column with a gripe Is much easier to write than any other kind, bu t
anything to please my reader . Today I make a special effo rt to be nice .
The volleyball schedule is coming along nicely and the way things
are shaping up it looks like Mu Phi versus Kappa Sigma in the finals .
This should really show up some top-flight volleyball, Mu Phi eke d
out a . win over last year's champions, the DU 's, in the best game so
far this year . While they are not a particularly tall team, the Mu Phi' s
play a smart, steady game and are particularly good on recoveries . W e
rate them as having an even chance in the playoff
.
Yesterday at noon we had the first serious accident in intramuraLs
in several years . The safety record has been very good and this i s
really one exception that proves the rule . In the last half of a touch
football game against the Sigma Phi Delis, Al McLean of the DU ' s fel l
and dislocated his left shoulder .
It looked as though it was quite an ordinary fall but somehow ha s
shoulder got to the ground first with the resulting injury . The game
stopped and Johnny appeared with his little stretcher . The shoulde r
appeared to be broken but an X-Ray showed a dislocation .
I heard some fellows asking why the Touch Football schedule was
taking so long this year and I offer the following words of excuse fo r
the Intramural assistant . I can ' t cite a typical case as there never are
any in intramurals, but here's a story of why one game is taking so long .
This is the story of the DU-Sigma Phoo (now I'm a poet) game . I t
was first scheduled about three weeks ago . At that time the Sigma Ph i
Delts defaulted, being unable to get a team out on short notice . Th e
DU's agreed to a replay and it started yesterday .
Iu the last half, with the Sigma Phoos leading, the aforementione d
accident took place and the DU's were unable to finish the game . Th e
Si g ma Phoos graciously decided that the game should be replayed onc e
more, the series now, more or less, standing at one game apiece . W e
hope to get the game in early next week, but mark my words, it's gonn a
to snow ;;n Sunday .
Varsity had the situation wel l
in control right from the opening whistle . At the end of the
first quarter they had piled up 1 1
Points without any retalliatio n
from the Collegiates. They ha d
another two points before the College team came through with thei r
first basket .
At the half, Coach Pete McGee r
started mixing up his (fines in,a s
many ways as he could find in a
more or less experimental manner . It seems he found some goo d
lines for the game was on ice a t
the end of the third quarter .
Three of the Blue and Gold boy s
were particularly handy in swishing their shots . Doug Davidso n
was high man with nine points
while Cliff Henderson and Gordi e
Lade were right behind him with
eight and seven respectively .
Walsh's eight points were high for
the Fighting Irish .
In the other two games of th e
night, McGavins gave Duke o f
Connaught a rather thorough
trouncing to the tune of 44-15, an d
St . Andrew's-Wesley came out o n
top over the West Van entry 40 34 in the nightcap. The latte r
turned out to be one of the bet ter games of the year . Both team s
had plenty of fighting spirit an d
they put on a great show for th '
crowd . The Gibson quintet lost
at the foul lino, missing 17 fre e
throws, whit :, the Lancers wer e
bagging 15 .
Here are the results of the Varsity game :
