Rice Balks at Initiation; Then Defies Authorit
Freshman Causes Furore When He Carries Tale to Newspapers— Student Officials Publish Denial of Charges
The system of student organization at the University of Alberta has come in for the lion’s share of publicity during the past week in connection
with what is now commonly referred
to as “The Rice Affair.”
Both sides of the case have been clearly set forth in two newspaper articles——one published in the Edmonton Bulletin on Friday, March 6, and a reply to this article published in the Saturday morning edition of the same
paper.

As regards the Friday’s the Bulletin gave publicity on this
page to an account of circumstances leading to the withdrawal of the
student (D. H. Rice).
Neither communication has been investigated by
the Bulletin, nor is it responsible for the facts presented ‘or the views
expressed.”’ Rice’s Story y
In September last, Dwight H. Rice, son of Rev. H. G. Rice, 98rd avenue, Edmonton, registered at the Univer- sity of Alberta and paid in full the fees requqired for the 1924-25 ses- sion. During the first week of at- tendance upon lectures, he was con- fronted with the Sophomore initia- tion program, which commanded him to shave a V-shaped figure on the back of his head, wear a light skull cap of given colors in such a way that the shaven figure could be easily seen, roll up trousers at least one foot above tops of boots, put on a green tie and add a pennant and ribbons to his attire. The regula- tions said this costume was to be worn daily from Commencement. un- til Field Day, on the public highway as well as around the campus. On Field Day arrangements were made to parade the Freshmen thus array- ed before the assembled multitudes.
Claims Rights
Among others, Dwight Rice claim- ed the right to ignore these demands. Having been actively interested in fair sport during his course at Strath- cona High, at Camrose Normal and as a teacher in Alberta for four years, he declared ‘that the kind of sport called for in this initiation pro- gram was contrary to all the recog- nized rules of the game, since it de- manded that the freshman make a clown of himself for the amusement of the Sophomores and to the disgust of public citizens. He also feels that such demands encouraged class do- mination contrary to the Golden Rule, are a violation of personal rights which no one has authority to demand of the individual in a free country; and that in addition this program, if obeyed, would entail a wasteful expenditure of at least $500.00 for the Freshmen students which could not be justified when already, each student, as a part of his regular fees, had to contribute seven dollars to the Students’ Union, which is used mainly in support of sport and social activities.
Accordingly, Mr. Rice ignored these demands, and expected that after Field Day the matter would be dropped. Instead of this, on De- cember 12, the Sophomores sum- moned him to appear before their court on the charge of not complying with their initiation demands. second summons was issued in Janu- ary demanding an appearance before their court on the 14th. These Mr. Rice ignored.
Matter Taken Up
At this stage the Students’ Union took up the matter, and summoned Mr. Rice to appear before their court January 21. In the meantime officers of the Sophomore year and of the Students’ nion, even the chief jus- tice of the Students’ Court, waylaid the student between lectures and in one case called him from a class ex- ercise to ply him with threats in support of their contentions that he must submit in this matter. They also assured him that the farther the case went, the worse it would be for him, since the Committee on Student Affairs would certainly endorse the judgment of the student courts in this matter.
All these the student ignored, and continued at lectures until January 21. On that date the Students’ Court handed out the following judgment against him:
The Judgment
“The case is one of double offence —contempt of Sophomore Court and contempt of the Students’ Court. The chief justice drew attention to the fact that this court was the only body

Voters should see to it that their names are on the voters’ list, and should make arrange- ments to get to the polls on time Wednesday. In this con- nection the following two statutes should be kept in mind:
(1) The general election shall be held on the third Wed- nesday in March, between the hours of nine a.m. and five p.m,
(2) The voters’ list (to be posted Friday morning at 9 a.m. o’clock) shall be subject to revision until twelve o’clock on Monday. Applications may be made by any member whose name does not appear on the said list, to have his name pro- perly inserted. Such applica- tion shall be made to the Chief Justice or any puisne judge of the Students’ Court.

In face of this judgment, the stu- dent withdrew from lectures, notified the Provost of his position in this matter and asked that this judgment be entirely withdrawn and some as- surance given that he would be per- mitted to proceed with his work in the University without further offi- cial interference with his stand re- garding initiation.
The student’s father also inter-
A | viewed officers of the Committee on
Student Affairs and of the Students’ Union and Courts, and pressed for a complete withdrawal of this judg ment that the student might return at once to lectures. These effort proved fruitless, and finally the Com- mittee on Student Affairs met on Feb. 4th. Five days later the student received word.“that at a meeting of the Committee on Student Affairs, held Wednesday, February 4th, the judgment of the Students’ Court in regard to your case was reviewed and was referred back to the Students’ Union for reconsideration,” etc. Up to date no further word has been received from that Court. In the meantime, Mr. Rice, finding that the Committee on Student Affairs had failed to settle the matter without further delay, has definitely with- drawn from the University for the present session, and resumed work as teacher. ;
To the above story, submitted to the Bulletin for publication, the Pre- sident of the Students’ Union and Chief Justice of the Students’ Court drafted the following reply. The re- ply was printed on Saturday morning.

MUSICAL PROGRAM |FRESHMAN DANCE
ELECTION NIGHT
chestra and Glee Club Perform in Convocation Hall—Election Results Announced at Intervals
Election night last year witnessed a commendable innovation in the form of a musical evening in Con- vocation Hall, when the programme was given by the various musical clubs, and the election results an- nounced “hot from the polls” at fre- quent intervals. Providing, as it did, the best possible means of getting the election results to the expectant student body, and at the same time to relax the electioneering tension, the evening was voted a huge success.
Arrangements have therefore been made by the Literary Association to put on a similar programme this year, which it is confidently predicted will even excel that of last year. The student body is already familiar with the splendid work of the orchestra again this year under the able direc- tion of Mrs. J. B. Carmichael. The Glee Club, however, have not ap- peared in Convocation Hall this year, although they sang at the University Hospital last month, have another engagement there, and are also billed to sing for the radio on March 23rd. Needless to mention, painstaking efforts of Mr. L. H. Nichols, the Glee Club has made splendid progress, some of their songs and quartettes this year being of a very high order.
This will be an open night for all students, faculty, and their friends. The program will commence at 8:15, so be there early if you want a seat. Election results will be announced as last year.

A VARSITY NIGHT
Myriads of Pennants With Green and Gold Predominated— Attractive Lounge and Excellent Orchestra
Pennants here, pennants there, pennants everywhere decorated Atha- basca dining hall on the occasion of the Frosh dance, March 6. Colleges, cities, states, provinces, nations— and the E.C.D.—were represented by the banners hanging from the ceil- ing and the walls. Inmates from the three residences found every pen- nant, Varsity and otherwise, bor- rowed. Varsity colors predominated, and stood out in further relief due to the green and gold streamers at either end of the hall. The west wall, in the charge of Mr. Porteous and Mr. Halliday, deserves special mention. A changing colored flash- light played over the dancers.
The lounge, with its cushions and easy chairs, was a charming place for couples inclined to sitting out. Year books of other universities were provided. A lovely fountain of wil- low work ornamented the center of the lounge.
The rendezvous received the names of the different faculties. Here Medicine and Science excelled, the ‘former heading their “title” with a glowing skull and the latter adding lustre to their name with an inter- mittent blue light. The programmes were in the form of green booklets with the University crest in gold. In the naming of the dances the Freshies showed a distinct originality, and betrayed a striking memory of Sep- tember and October, 1925. The dances ranged from “Freshies Ar- rival,” “Scared Stiff” and ‘No Cos- metics” through ‘Tub’ and “Kalso- mine Kids” to “Hair Cut,” “Bow Tie’ and “Soph Court.”’ During the fourteen dances and two extras the Varsity-sweatered and Varsity-cap- ped Orchestra was at its best.
A dainty supper was served in the gym by Miss Russel and her staff. Gay lamps were placed at intervals on the tables. Even the ice cream and paper serviettes carried out the green and gold decoration scheme.
Mr. Piper and his executive, con- sisting of Miss Lines, Mr. Field, Miss Tredway, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Wilkinson, are to be congratulated on the success of this Varsity evening.
The patronesses were Mrs. Tory, Mrs. Howes, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Hardy, Mrs. Warren and Miss Dodd.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Freshman Class wish to thank all those who were so good as to loan material for the Frosh Recep- tion. If there was any part of your donation not returned, please notify a member of the Executive, and we will attend to the matter.

Both of the latter two men are very popular, and have shown considerable exe- cutive ability.
John Gaunt, returned by acclama- tion as Chief Justice, is a graduate in Arts, and held in high respect by his fellows in the Law Faculty.
Election speeches will ‘be made Monday at 4:30 p.m. in Convocation Hall, by all candidates contesting offices. Everyone is urged to at- tend that meeting in order to gain a knowledge of the candidates and their policies.

Significant Changes in Constitution
Amendments in Athletics Important—Sheriff. Will be Appointed in Future
Here are five changes that the Amendment Committee has made in the
laws under which student government operates.
There are many more
but these are the ones which have been discussed for a long time without any move having been made to bring them about.
Only men students are entitled to vote for president and secretary of
Men’s Athletics.
It is now law “that there shall be an annual publication to represent the Students’ Union, and the name of that publication shall be the “Ever-
green and Gold.”
The number of athletic awards will be further restricted according
to the amendment of the Athletic Association Act.
It provides: ‘There
shall be a Decoration Committee, which shall have full and exclusive powers to grant all athletic decorations, except where otherwise provided for in
the Constitution.”
There are four members on this committee.
In the old act regarding athletic awards it was provided that ‘‘the Athletic Association shall award “decorations for certain definite accom-
plishments.” these cases.
The act now reads that decorations “may be awarded” in
According to the newly drafted amendments of the Students’ Court Act the Sheriff shall be appointed and not elected. This act will come
into force next year.
The Point System Act has been made more comprehensive.

success of the Year Book, which showed a surplus for the first time in its history.
His activities are many and varied, but success marks his every éndeavor. In C.0.T.C. he is known as an “A” certificate man with his commission serving as Asst. Quartermaster; at Union meetings he is remembered as a clear thinker and brilliant speaker, ever ready with a practical solution for any difficulty. ;
A loyal supporter of the various athletic contests, Percy’s own activi- ties have been on the tennis court, where he has distinguished himself by reaching the finals of the men’s singles.
This year his contribution to the student body has been tremendous. Holding the treasurership by an over- whelming vote of his fellows, he has this year been the central figure in the most successful financial year the Union has enjoyed. His level- headed, sound, common sense, and friendly, helpful advice, have made — friends for him on every side. :
_ The different student organiza- tions have been quick to recognize a good man, and demands on his time have been constant, yet in spite of this his academic standing is an en- viable one. The Council had no hesi- tation in selecting him as the Direc- tor of this year’s Evergreen and Gold, carrying with it the entire business and editorial responsibility for. the publication. In this latter position he has completely reorganiz- ed the staff, and given the Year Book a definite constitution, :
_Other demands for Percy’s ser- vices have been equally insistent. Whenever a committee is required where EFFICIENT SERVICE and organization is necessary, everyone immediately translates this to PERCY. The Gateway, Committee on Revision of Constitution, Commit- tee on Student Affairs, on Student Relief, the Students’ Council, and — many other clubs, have benefitted by his hard work and broad-minded con- tributions. What better man could the Students’ Union want as Presi- dent? In Percy Davies we have a real all-around man with a thorough knowledge of student affairs — one who is not only a worker himself, but who has also that rare and in- valuable faculty of obtaining the | loyal cooperation of others—surely ce agin: for a successful presi-

Medicine Hat deserves great credit, not so much because it has “all Hell for a basement,” according to Rud- yard Kipling, but because it provid- ed the University with Bruce Mac- donald in 1920. Since that date Bruce’s personality has worked its way throughout the fabric of student organization and has helped largely. in smoothing off many of the un- finished edges. He has been an out- standing figure in student life, al- thought not a famous orator, athlete or Wauneita. Bruce is the sort of man whom you like to ‘talk things over with,”’ because you know that he will tell you frankly what he — thinks, that he has experience behind — his views and that he is ready, will- — ing and able to help you if he ap- proves.
There are very few records of all- round service to the student body which can be compared with Mac- donald’s. He has been tireless and loyal always, and after five years of it is still prepared to give all that is a him to the organization which he as moulding.
Although in his first two years |

A BIG VOTE NEEDED
It is the duty of every student to vote in the student elections to be held next Wednesday. The efficiency of next year’s student government will depend on two factors—the capability of the executive and the en- thusiasm and co-operation of the student body. A heavy vote on Wednesday will not only indicate that there is the enthusiasm, but will also ensure the selection of a representative executive.
The electors are referred to the regulations applying to elections which are printed in the news columns of this issue. Everyone should make certain that his name is on the voters’ list, and should make arrange- ments to get to the polls on time. Furthermore, in fairness to the candidates who are running, as well as for his own information, the voter will familiarize himself with each candidate’s qualifications before casting his vote.
.
MUCH-NEEDED CHANGES
In this issue are published those amendments to the Constitution which will be referred to the next Students’ Union meeting. These amendments were drafted by the special committee appointed to revise the Constitution.
When such an unusual number of changes are submitted to the Union at one time, the natural ques- tion arises: “What is the reason of such sudden zeal for reform?’? One reading of the present Constitu- tion, however, will show that the outburst is timely, and that some very essential changes have been made. The most significant changes have to do with the closer check on athletic awards, changes in the Point System Act, and the appointment of a Sheriff.
The amendment to the present Athletic Association Act provides for a special committee to make major athletic awards. The University “A” is the highest honor that any university athlete may hope to win, and men who win it are supposedly the University’s best. If these awards are to indicate all that they should, they must necessarily be restricted.
There are obvious advantages in appointing a Sheriff, especially from the standpoint of that officer’s independence. The Sheriff has a very diffi- cult office to fill if he does his whole duty. Realizing this, the students should give him their co-operation whether he is appointed by the Council or is elected. (Incidentally, this amendment will not be in force before the coming election.)
The Point System Act, which has been completely revised, puts a limit on the number of» offices any one student is allowed to hold. There is always the danger of one student undertaking so much that not only his academic standing, but his administration of office suffers. Furthermore, one purpose of student government, that of giving training in executive work to as many as possible, is defeated if this work is confined to a few. There are certain reservations to the Act, however. The Council in special cases may allow an officer to exceed his quota of points if the situation demands it.
There was an amendment outlined in the last issue of The Gateway which, if adopted, would have made some significant changes in student government. This amendment was submitted to the committee, but re- jected for the present. Though the proposal has obvious advantages, the details of it have not been worked out sufficiently to warrant its adoption at the present time.
THE RICE CASE
Mr, Dwight Rice, a Freshman who entered Uni- versity last fall, refused to submit to initiation. For this reason he was summoned before the Sophomore Court, but ignored the summons. This Court, as a subordinate body of jurisdiction, then referred the case to the Students’ Court for trial.
Now, Rice committed what must be considered an offence against student discipline. He refused to appear before the Students’ Court, though student officials went out of the way to assure him that he would receive the fairest of treatment. The Com- mittee on Student Affairs, who next dealt with the case, showed their confidence in student government by sending the matter back to the Student Court for re-consideration. When Rice saw that he must obey the summons of a Court, constituted by authority to enforee discipline among the student body, he left University. The letter written to him by the Provost, however, shows that his case was given every con- sideration, and that he left of his own free will.
ok * * te %
Was Rice forced to leave University because he refused to be initiated? All facts relating to the case show that he was not. We admit to this student the right as a “conscientious objector” to take exception to initiation. Nevertheless, he had no grounds for ignoring the summons of the Students’ Court, who regarded his contempt of the Sophomore Court as an offence.
A reasonable man would have taken for granted that the Students’ Court would give him every con- sideration. The Chief Justice is a University graduate, the puisne judges are chosen only after careful con- sideration, while a defendant is given every opportunity of presenting a fair case, Did Rice expect that the body would force on him those student tyrannies now so widely proclaimed?
Again, Rice had the right to appeal to the Com- mittee on Student Affairs if he had been dissatisfied with the Court’s decision. This committee includes the President of the University and representatives
, of the Board of Governors, the Senate and the stu-

dent body—obviously the most representative tribunal from which any student could expect consideration.
It is evident that Rice was treated leniently and fairly, and that hazing (though he was never hazed) did not cause his departure. He chose to hold our whole student government in contempt, and con- sidered himself different from other students. His own stubborn and unreasonable attitude is the only way of accounting for his departure.
* * * * sd
It is regrettable that certain outside newspapers have taken such a distorted view of this case, and that they did not get more information before putting the matter before the public. The question arises as to what harm this misrepresentation will do to the University.
Among those who have weighed carefully both sides of the case it can do no harm. To our own student government it will, if anything, act favor- ably. The whole matter has crystallized student opinion, which is upholding unanimously the stand of the Court.
THE FINAL EFFORT
The University War Memorial Fund has reached eight thousand dollars. Progress has been gratify- ing, but we still have four thousand to raise. We are launched on the greatest ‘enterprise that the University has ever made, and there is still a great deal to do before it is finally successful. Many stu- dents have caught the spirit which will make the Memorial campaign a success, but some have not yet made their contributions.
The response that the citizens of Edmonton have made to the Memorial appeal is a great tribute to them. The coming performances of the Women’s Musical Club, the Newsboys’ Band, the Symphony Orchestra and various dramatic clubs in the city all show an unselfish effort to help on the campaign. They have set a splendid example for us to follow.
Our spirit must be like that of the students of the
Iowa University, ninety-seven per cent. of whom pledged to give a hundred dollars each after gradu- ation to their war memorial. Certainly the graduates will be in a better position to help the funds than
the undergraduates, and could well follow the example of these Iowa students, even though not in a posi-—
tion to lend the same amount of support.

In previous issues of The Gate- way an attempt was made to outline briefly some of the most interesting facts connected with the writing of “The _Admirable Crichton” and _ its significance as one of the most suc- cessful plays of modern time, and also to form some basis for a better understanding of the play for those who intend to witness its production by the University Dramatic Society on March 11th and 12th.
Tt was pointed out that although Barrie wrote the play in 1904, it was not published in book form until 1918. When, however, Barrie finally prepared it for publication, fearful that readers would miss the inter- pretation which he intended and which he had insured being under- stood on the stage by personally supervising the productions, he wrote extensive stage directions which not only help the reader immensely in his appreciation of scenes and char- acters, but written in a delightfully humorous style afford real literary treats in themselves.
In introducing the various char- acters in the play to the reader, Barrie gives some interesting infor- mation about them in his stage direc-
tions which are absent in the staging. For intsance, of Crichton he says:
“It would not: be in good taste to discribe Crichton, who is only a ser- vant: if to the scandal of all good houses he is to stand out as a figure in the play, he must do it on his own. ... We are not going to help him. . ... To be an indoor servant at all is to Crichton a badge of honor; to be a butler at thirty is the realization of his proudest achieve- ments.”
One of the amusing characters in the play, the Hon. Ernest Woolley, is introduced in these words:
“There is a happy smile on _ his pleasant, insignificant, face, and this presumably means that he is. think- ing of himself. He is too busy over nothing, this man about town, to be always thinking of himself, but, on the other hand, he almost never thinks of any other person. .... Ernest left Cambridge the other day, a member of the Aethenaeum (which he would be sorry to have you con- found with a club in London of the same name). He is a bachelor, but not of arts, no mean epigrammatist (as you shall see) and a favorite of the ladies. . . . He has a light nature, which would enable him to bob up cheerily in new conditions and return unaltered to old ones. His selfish- ness is his most endearing quality. If he has his way he will spend his life like a cat in pushing his betters out of the soft place, and until he is old he will be fondled in the pro- cess.” It will undoubtedly be a treat not to Be missed to see this pampered son of English aristocracy on a desert island.
Of the ladies Agatha and Cath- erine, Barrie ‘says: “They are very fashionable young women indeed, who might -wake up for a dance, but they are very lazy, Catherine being two years lazier than Agatha’’—and of Lady Mary—‘“She is a beautiful creature of twenty-two, and is of a natural hauteur which is at once the fury and the envy of her sisters. If she chooses she can make you seem so insignificant that you feel you might be swept away with the crumb-brush. She seldom chooses, because of the trouble of preening herself as she does it; she is usually content to show that you merely tire her eyes. She often seems to be about to go to sleep in the middle of a remark: there is quite a long and anxious pause, and then she con- tinues, like a clock that hesitates, bored in the middle of its strike.”’ .
Of their eccentric father Barrie says: “The Earl of Loam is a widower, a philanthropist and a peer of advanced ideas. As a widower he is at least able to interfere in the domestic concerns of his house—to rummage in the drawers, so to speak. for which he has felt an itching all his blameless life; his philanthropy has opened quite a number of other drawers to him; and his advanced ideas have blown out his figure. He takes in all the weightiest monthly reviews, and prefers those that are uncut, because he perhaps never looks better than when cutting them. . .. He writes letters to the papers which are printed in a type to scale with himself, and he is very jealous of those other correspondents who get his type. Let laws and learning, art and commerce die, but leave the big type of an intellectual aristoc- racy. He is really the reformed epeits of Lords which will come some
ay.
Then there is the description of young Lord Brocklehurst: “You could pick him up by the handful any day in Piccadilly or Holborn, buying socks—or selling them.”

SYNTHETIC DRUGS ARE CONSIDERED
Chemical Society Hears Discus- sion of Drugs and Their Importance |
On March 4th the regular meeting of the Chemical Society was held in Room 1386 Med. Mr. W. Matthews,
The Countess of Brocklehurst, as becomes very apparent in the play, is ‘fa very formidable old lady,’’ and Treherne is an athletic young clergy- man who is concerned more with cricket than congregations.
Altogether they form as varied and interesting group of characters as ever appeared in one play, and no one should miss the opportunity of seeing’ them in the Universit: production.
It is understood that rehearsals have been in progress since January. and both on the part of the cast and the director, Prof. Adam, the pro- duction has involved tireless effor' The stage setting, involving one scene in Lord Loam’s house in Lon- don, and two scenes on a South Sea island, has been minutely prepared and some unusually good scenic e fects are promised.
“The Admirable Crichton” is probably the most ambitious produc- tion yet attempted by the University both from the point of view of in- terpretation and staging, and: cer- tainly merits the support of every student in the University.
The members pf the cast as they appear in the play are:

from the Department of Pharmacy, spoke on “Synthetic Drugs.”
The speaker said that due to — rivalry among drug companies, their research had been so fruitful that chemists had equalled, and even im- proved on the products of nature.
Mr. Matthews then classified drugs according to their uses, after which some of the more important synthetic products of each division were dis- cussed.
The most successful remedies for parasites in the blood are organic arsenic compounds. Erhlich, in his endeavors to .produce substances which would destroy the foreign body and not destroy the host at the same time, synthesized and_ tested 914 compounds, in order to develop the drugs salvarsan and neo-salvar- san.
Two body hormones, adrenalin, which has a vaso-constrictor action on the blood vessels, and thyroxin, the active principle of the thyroid, have been synthesized.
Depressants of the central nervous system were then discussed. In this class there are the ordinary anaes- thetics, ether and chloroform. Among the substancés classed as _ hynotics, which have been synthesized there is sulphonal, veronal, a derivative of urea, methyl-phenyl ketone and chloral hydrate, a halogen derivative of acetaldehyde.
Cocaine, one of the best local anaesthetics, has never been syn- thesized, but a number of substitutes have been brought out. These are stovaine, alyfine and novocaine.
Again quinine, the best known an- tipyretic, has not been produced in the laboratory, but we have products which produce a like effect, in the form of salicylic acid, acetyl-salicylic acid or aspirin, and phenazone.
In conclusion, Mr. Matthews spoke of the improved antiseptics produced during the war. Drs. Dakin and Carrel introduced sodium hypo- chlorite. This substance was later replaced by a compound known. as Chloramine I
On March 18th a joint meeting of the Botany Club and the Chemical Society will be held in the Chemical Lecture Theatre, Room 142 Med. The subject of Cellulose will be dis- cussed. Every interested is cordially invited to be present.

Literary and Historical — Research Thriving Here
Departments of English, Classics, Political Economy and History Doing Valuable Work in Their Respective Fields
By JACK MARSHALL
Literary and. historical research may be a contradiction of terms ac- cording to the popular meaning of the term research. However, in the wider sense of the term, investigation and interpretation of literature and history can certainly be classified as research.
A quotation from a magazine of scholarship which has. just been started in England may possibly elu- cidate the interpretation of this term research:
“In matters of literary history ‘re- search’ is not quite the same thing as the natural sciences. We have less to do with that which has never previously been known, and more with that which has never been rightly interpreted. There is little for us to discover in the way of bare fact that was not known to some person or other before our day; much of our work must necessarily be re- discovery, but it is no less import- ant on that account and no _ less worthy of the name of research. Much toil might indeed have been saved to us if our forefathers had thought fit to put on record a few of the familiar facts about their great contemporaries, their lives and their writings, which we now labour to infer from a hint or a jest. Had they done this, we should have been many stages further on the endless road, but there would still have been need, as much and no more than there is today, for research. For bare facts are not:all. Much of what we strive to find out was not and could not be known to those of the period which we study, for it was veiled from them by the life of everyday. They were like travellers in the forest who cannot see the greater conformation of the land for the undergrowth that presses round them too closely on every side. It is our task as researchers to discover ‘ not only the facts, the dry minutiae, but the relations between them, their reactions upon one another, those
slower changes and developments to,
which the most clear-sighted of con- temporaries must be ever blind. This knowledge, if we can attain it, is new knowledge, and as well deserves the name of discovery as any secret wrested from nature by the astron- omer or physicist.
“Tt is in this sense that those who have planned this Review would use the name of research, in the sense of interpretation of material as well as that of amassing it; for though all honour is due to the laborious compiler of fact upon fact, a view of research which ranges no further than this misses in their opinion all that is best in it and most worthy of effort.” :

The Department of English of the University of Alberta in this sense of the word “research”’ has been very active, and is at the present time compiling material for a number of publications which are now in press are practically ready for publication. There has recently been published “A Book of Canadian Prose and Verse,” and a volume of selections from an early English-Canadian poet, Charles Heavysege, is now in the Ryerson press.
There will be published this sum- mer, from the Clarendon Press (Ox- ford), a volume of selections from the essayist and historian, Thomas Fuller, with introduction and critical notes. :
A volume of translatiuons from Old English Poetry is to be published this year, also a volume of selections from Scott’s ‘Tales of Grandfather.” A yery interesting book on “The Canada Co.’’, a colonization company organized in England in 1825 for the purpose of settling 1,000,000 acres in Upper Canada, is now being pre- pared, and will be published by the Ryerson Press.
“The Canada Co.’ was organized by Galt, Dunlop and Strickland, and did a great deal to settle the Lake Huron triangle. A son of one of these men was a Father of Confed- eration.
Research in Greek and Latin liter- ature with interesting interpreta- tions is being carried on by the Classics Department. A member of this department in conjunction with the head of the Greek Department of Chicago University, is preparing a “Book on Greek Particles,” and has also published two articles on cer- tain phases of Greek’ literature deal- ing with the period of the 4th Cen- tury, one of which deals with Loxus —physician and physiognomist, and how he approaches the subject of physiognomy with the scientific basis given by his knowledge of physiology and his observations of animals.
The other article deals with ‘“Icon- istic Portraits.” This is a study of the development of portraiture of the iconistie period, which is a photo- graphic transcription of biography.
Another member of this depart- ment felt that the only way of ob- taining a true appreciation of Greek and Latin literature was to study the conditions and environments of the country where this literature devel- oped, and therefore visited Greece and Italy during the past year, and this visit confirmed his ideas in this regard.
With the idea of extending the visual side of teaching, 200 slides that are typical of certain develop- ments in Greece were secured. It was ascertained that facilities: were available for students to pursue archaelogical research by attaching
3 themselves to. the British School of | Research at Athens.
The Department of Political Econ- omy has given valuable assistance on the Royal Grain and Banking Com- missions, and this summer will work with the Institute of Economics at Washington on the value of the St. Lawrence project.
An interesting study is being made of the development of the co-oper- ative marketing of grain in Western Canada, beginning with the passing of the Manitoba Grain Act in 1900, which was passed as the first result of organized effort. of Western grain growers for their own protection, and dealing with the development of the grain trade through its different stages and leading up to the present organization of provincial wheat pools and their united selling agency.
Historical research is a very slow process and means delving into thous- ands jof original documents in order to obtain a clear knowledge of cer-

tain political instances which have a direct bearing on the political, social and economie structure of the nation.
Feeling that the racial problem was of great moment in our Do- minion today and that the founda- tion of this problem lay in the Eng- of the History Department. at the lish conquest of Canada, a member University of Alberta has for. the past few years been investigating Canadian history beginning with the English conquest. This research can only be conducted by a minute ex- amination of original documents con- cerning Canadian history which ar: preserved in the archives at Ottawa. _ It is interesting to note that this investigation into Canadian history has disclosed many gross anachron- isms in explanations given by our present historians of political in- stances that have a direct bearing on the development of our dominion.
Their by-products of this work have been articles dealing with—The Mystery of Walker’s Ear, The Life of Carleton and the Tragedy of ‘Chief Justice Livius.
The Mystery of Walker’s Har deals with an important political incident in Canadian history that up till now has been shrouded in mystery. The article on the life of Carleton points out that this Canadian governor is not the angelic, straightforward and independent statesman as depicted by former historians. The Tragedy of Chief Justice Livius shows that while former historians have por- trayed him as a vile and undesirable character, in truth Livius was right and stood for high ideals, while Carleton was wrong and would do anything to shield himself. Indeed he was partly the tool of others.
The first volume of this intensive work on Canadian history which will deal with the period beginning with the English Conquest to the begin- ning of the 19th century, will give us a clearer understanding of Cana- dian history and, at the same time, of the differences between the Eng- lish and French-speaking peoples in our- Dominion, and the underlying reasons for this dissension.

GAME WITH SASK. DEFINITELY OFF
Green and Gold Hoop Artists Put Away Togs For the Year
The proposed basketball. game with the University of Saskatchewan to have been played Saturday, March 14th, for the Western University championship has been definitely called off. This was the only pos- sible date open to Alberta on ac- count of the nearness of tests, and Saskatchewan found it impossible to play then. As a result there will be no game, and Saskatchewan will hold the cup and championship by virtue of its win over Manitoba, who later defeated Alberta.
It is indeed unfortunate that the green and white quintette were un- able to fulfil their engagement here as it would have ensured an interest- ing battle. The green and. gold hoopsters have hit the training hard for the past three weeks, and were all in the best condition they have been this year. But as it is, we will have to look forward to their tangle next year. :
Some of the American colleges have big building prospects under way. Among them are: Harvard, with a $5,000,000 business school; University of Iowa, a $4,500,000 medical centre; Western Reserve, a $2,500,000 school of medicine.

Some Interesting Aspects of
HANDWRITING
By Dr. D. G. REVELL
Although the art of writing is a very common accomplishment and manuscripts are among the most familiar of everyday things, hand- writing has an interest and a value that warrant close attention and in- tensive study by some ‘one in every community for certain reasons that will appear in this short discussion.
Handwriting and speech have many things in common, some of which may be best understood by a joint consideration of the two. Each is a medium for expressing and com- municating our thoughts, addressed to a special sense—speech to the ear, writing to the eye. Each is produc- ed by the action of a numerous set of voluntary muscles. By the same figure of speech, each is designated by the name of a part of the mechan- ism that produces it—‘‘a fair round hand,” “a foreign tongue.” Curiously too, just as writing is a record of the motion of a point (of pen or pencil), this motion being the re- sult of the combined action of all the muscles that participate, so also can speech be recorded in the motion of a single point. This is exactly what a phonograph record is—the movement of a needle-point recorded
first in wax and then cast in hard
rubber. To read this record, how- ever, it is necessary to reverse the process, making the needle traverse the track thus mapped out, and in its turn communicates the vibrations to the diaphragm, giving them back to the air and so passing them on to the ear.
Every one knows how individual and distinctive is the voice. On the telephone we recognize our acquaint- ances usually at once and_ by their voices alone. To disguise one’s voice successfully for any length of time is very difficult. Even a stranger would quickly notice too that the disguised voice is unnatural. Except practised impersonators, any- one attempting voice-disguise soon betrays himself by inconsistencies, whether he is merely trying to dis- guise his own or to imitate another’s. He fails either to discard his own peculiarities or to sustain those of the one imitated.
Now all this is true also of one’s handwriting. It has many little characteristics that are peculiar and individual. And just as the children of a family learning their mother- tongue at the same knee develop un- mistakable differences of pronuncia- tion, timing, emphasis and other

WILL PRESENT OPERA “MARTHA”
Women’s Musical Club to Present Popular Opera in Aid of University Memorial Fund
For the second time the Women’s Musical Club of Edmonton is pre- senting an opera in concert form (that is, the complete music with- out acting or scenery). Last. year “Cavaliera Rusticana”’ was a great success. This year it is Martha,” which is perhaps one of the lightest and most melodious of all the grand operas. The proceeds of this per- formance will be given to the Uni- versity Memorial Fund.
In the original form of the opera and also in the English version the time of the action is supposed to be in the reign of Queen Anne, that is, the earlier part of ‘the eighteenth century. The scene is laid in the old market town of Richmond in York- shire and its vicinity. Lady Harriet (or Henrietta, according to‘some ver- sions), who is maid of honour to Queen Anne, wearied of the ceaseless round of. conventional pleasures at court, conceives and carries out a project which promises to furnish diversion of a novel sort. Disguised as maids, she, her maid and her doting but somewhat aged cousin, Sir Tristram Mickleford, are to go to Richmond, whither a band of ser- vants that pass her window are wend- ing their way, and mingle with the crowd at the annual fair. There the frolicsome dames find the serving- maids hiring themselves to the farm- ers who have come to the fair to engage help. Among the farmers are Plunkett and his foster-brother Lionel, the latter a waif who had been left as a child at the door of
Plunkett’s father with nothing to},
identify him except a ring, which in case of need was to be shown to the queen. In furtherance of their prank, Lady Harriet (now known as “Martha”’) and Nancy engage them- selves as servants to Lionel and Plunkett, who are fascinated by their beauty and archness; and carry the joke so far as to accept the legal earnest-money. Sir Tristram, who has been pestered by the fair folk, purchases relief from their torments with a purse, and returns to bid the
The University of Minnesota, Chi- cago University and other institu- tions have by recent rulings provided penalties for frats which make poor showing in scholastic work. So far several fraternities have fallen under the ban of the ruling. One has been refused the right to initiate during the winter quarter, another is barred from social privileges.
Dr. Charles W. Eliot, President Emeritus of Harvard, has picked a list of the ten greatest men in mod- ern educational history for the last 200 years. The greatest educators, according to Professor Eliot, are Adam Smith, Michael Faraday, John Stuart Mill, William Channing, Horace Mann, Herbert Spencer, Ear- nest Ronan, Darwin, Emerson and Pasteur.
c. K. JOHNS Lit. Representative on Council ladies go back to their homes. They are willing, but Lionel and Plunkett insist upon their rights under the law, and they are obliged to drive off with the young farmers. Arrived at the farm-house, an attempt is made to set the young women to work, but in vain, and the men find themselves obliged to instruct them even in the simple art of spinning. Lionel loses his heart to Martha, who at his soli- citation sings “‘The Last Rose of Summer.”’ The clock rings midnight and the men go to bed.
In the next scene the _ foster- brothers discover their quondam ser- vants in the hunting train of Queen Anne. They assert their supposed right, but are repulsed, and when Lionel laments the harshness of my lady, who had masqueraded only to make mock of his peace of mind, Lady Harriet asks pity for him from the courtiers who come to her aid, on the ground that he is insane. In his despair he sends the ring given to him by his unknown father to the queen, and by its means is identified as the Karl of Derby, son of the old Earl, who had been banished from the kingdom, though guiltless of the offence with which he was charged. Despite her apparent harshness, Lady Harriet loves Lionel, even be- fore the discovery of his high rank; now she seeks to throw herself into his arms; but he, whose mind has been turned awry by his sufferings, repulses her. In this dilemma a re- medy is sought in the device of bring- ing back to his mind the scene of the first meeting. The fair scene of the first act is re-enacted, and amid its merriment reason returns to the lover, and with it happiness. Roguish Nancy becomes the prize of Plunkett.

(characteristics of speech by which
they are individualized and = dis. tinguished, so also is it with their writing and with the writing of a class of children in school. And the possibilities of identification of per- sons by their handwriting are even better than by their voices. Their writing is permanent. It may be ex. amined at leisure minutely and’ exhaustively. Their voices pass with the breath. Each sound: must make way for its successor. What confu- sion when echo delays its departure! If the identity of the writer is im. portant he signs what he has written, especially what he has typewritten— his manuscript is “signed” through. out. Bank cheques, bank bills, busi- ness or social letters, deeds, wills— all documents are incomplete and in- valid until signed. The parties to an agreement put it in writing and wit. ness it with their “hands and seals,”
Since writing is of such great im- portance in all matters where the identity of persons is concerned, it is highly important to have means to establish its genuineness or to de- tect its falsity. How, then, may handwriting be identified and shown to be that of one or, other person? Just as any other thing is identified, or even more broadly we may Say Just as any thing is recognized. To recognize any object we must first have its standard. Much of our edu- cation consists in acquiring a large number of right, good, proper stand- ards of conduct, of diction, of chem. ical substances, etc. The educated physician is equipped with clear standards of ull the ills of -the hu- man body. When he finds a group of signs and symptoms in a patient that correspond to those of one of his standards he accordingly diag- noses the presence of that disease, Similarly a writing is identified when it is found to contain a satisfying group of agreements with the stand- ard of the author of it. Ordinarily this identification is made off-hand by so-called “general impression.” Bankers must chiefly depend on this method. To keep a customer waiting while his signature is subjected to more than a quick scrutiny would offend. But that general impression is liable to be wrong is evidenced by the frequency with which banks are victimized by forgeries. More cer- tain and reliable methods are neces: sary for special cases. Collectively these methods constitute the art of so-called expert handwriting examin- ation, better termed expert examin- ation of questioned documents. Fre- quently other particulars than the writing are the subject of investiga- tion of a document. The methods are scientific, making use of prac- tical microscopy, photography, me- trology—get your dictionary, and while you have it open, if you want some thrills, look.up the etymologies of forgery, fabric, utter, signature, language, chirography, chiropractor and surgeon — chemistry, physics, even psychology, to ascertain the pertinent facts. Finally the latter must be interpreted into an “opin- ion”, _ In legal cases a clear distinc tion is made between “evidence of facts” and “opinion evidence.” In court the facts should be demon- strated or demonstrable, and the opinion should be reasoned or reason- able.
The “pertinent facts” about hand- writing for the purpose of identify- ing It are of many kinds, of which the following are very important: Placing of: the writing on the page, with resultant margins; spacing, of letters within the words, of words within the lines, and of line from line; alignment; amount and varia- tion of pressure on the writing- point; slope of the strokes in the let- ters; preliminary and finishing strokes, merging into flourishes; speed of the writing, which affects its line-character; general artistic effect; patterns of letters and figures, especially any that are odd or eccentric; actual and also relative sizes of the characters; the use and the form of. punctuation-marks}; link- ing or breaking between letters; form and position of the dot of i and of the cross-bar of t; oddities of spell- ing, vocabulary or phraseology; and other particulars in which one writer may differ from another. In gen- eral, the identifieation-marks of writing are parallelled by those of persons, with which we are more familiar and which comprise age, height, weight, color of hair and of eyes, scars, occupation-marks, ete. These, it is to be noticed, are re- spects in which people differ.
The applications of expert hand- writing examination are various. The most important are: the detection of forgery, a most frequent require- ment; the proving of genuine signa- tures that are disclaimed; the. ex- posure of the authorship of anony- mous. letters, especially when these are libellous or threatening. In gen- eral terms these applications are for the purposes of aiding in the admin- istration of justice, of helping to protect property rights, and of con- tributing to order and safety in “the enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

BOXING MEET IS DECIDED SUCCESS
Seventeen Bouts Complete Bill For Northern Alberta Championships
sTAN BARKER WINS BY K.O.
Battling Waines Loses Decision in Welterweight Class
Seventeen bouts were run off on the amateur card staged at the Memorial Hall last Tuesday night for the Northern Alberta championships, The bill was a thriller from start to finish, and included a couple of knockouts to the satisfaction of the crowded hall.
Three Varsity entrants were on the bill, and on all occasions put up good fights. Stan Barker, the sponsor of the Varsity string, came through the evening in a decisive manner, get- ting the decision in his first bout, and knocking his second opponent out, to win the title in the 160 Jb. class. Battling Waines, welterweight cham- pion of the Varsity, and Bullock were the other two green and gold entries, both centering their ability in the 147 lb. class, Waines went fine for three rounds, but lost. the judges’ decision. Bullock went well in the first round of his bout, forced the fight. He was caught uncovered, however, in the second round, and was forced to yield the title to his opponent.
Barker drew Burnett, of the Mor- ris School of Physical Culture, in the first draw. Burnett was inclined to bang on, while Barker used an open style of fighting. The second round was fairly even, and Burnett appeared to the crowd to be hitting low. The crowd were all for Barker, and Burnett continued his drives to the stomach during the third round. The referee gave him the decision and the crowd went wild for Barker, figuring he had led ‘all the way.
In the final, Barker met R. Wilder who had won his prelim. Barker forced the fight in the first round, and in the second round put his man down for the count of five. He followed this with a beautiful left to the jaw, and Wilder was forced to accept the count. This gave Barker the decision and title.
The fight between Waines and Wynnychuk, of the Eastwood Com- munity League, went three rounds. Waines played the face more, while Wynnychuk went for a lot of infight- ing and body work. The judges gave the decision to the Eastwood Com- munity boy after a lot of delibera- tion. It was a fairly even bout.
Wynnychuk was then matched with Bullock, of the U. of A., who had drawn a bye. The first round was fast and fairly even. Wynnychuk struck an offensive in the second round, caught Bullock wide open, and the referee was forced to do his arithmetic. This gave the bout and title to Wynnychuk.
The large crowd of spectators was disappointed when it was learned that Miles Palmer and Louis Lavoie were unchallenged. These two boys, bearing the colors of the Morris School, are the pick of their classes in these: parts, but the crowd was anxious to see them do their stuff. They will now enter the provincial finals to be held in Calgary in the near future.

Varsconas by Score of 21-11
The Commercial Grads, world’s champions, retained their title to the Alberta championship, when they de- feated the Varsconas in the third game of the playoff series after dropping the second game. The score was 21-11 and fairly indicative of the play, the Grads excelling in all around team work and_ short, quick passing.
The game was not as spectacular as the one of the week previous. It proved more of a defensive game, with close checking the. order throughout. Twenty-six penalties were handed out altogether, andthe majority ‘of the points were chalked up through free throws. ;
For the winners, the scoring was fairly evenly divided. Elsie Bennie and Connie Smith led with five points apiece, Daisy Johnson and Mary Dunn added four each to the total, and Dot Johnson gathered the other three.
Kay Mountifield, for the Var- sconas, did the majority of the scor- ing, gathering in nine points, and was high scorer of the game. Mary Mountifield and Gladys Fry added one apiece to bring the total to eleven.
The teams lined up as follows:
Grads —- Connie Smith, centre; Daisy Johnson, Dot Johnson, for- wards; Mary Dunn, Elsie Bennie,
guards; subs, Kate McRae, Hattie Hopkins, Margaret Bailey.

Medents Off Form and Fail to Hit Usual Stride
Arts-Pharmacy and Medents met for the second time in the play-off for the Interfaculty Hockey cham- pionship on Saturday, the former wiping out their 3-2 loss of Thurs- day by turning in a 3-0 win. This ties the series up with a win apiece, necessitating a third and deciding game. The game Saturday was the fastest interfaculty game of the year, with the Arts-Pharmacy sporting a fighting spirit that started from the first bell. Edwards in goal for the winners was the chief cause of the goose-egg handed to the dcotors. His performance could not have been im- proved on, and he turned in a fine performance for the spectators. Boyle on defence was the best man outside of the goal for the winners. He stopped rush after rush of the doctors, and his own rushes were always dangerous. Carrigan, Cald- well and Runge went well on the forward line, but all had a tendency to loaf.
For the losers, the defence of Ag- new and Flater was_the best. Their work in breaking the attacks of the pill pounders was of the best, while they. both contributed dangerous rushes. Cockle has been seen to bet- ter advantage, a couple of easy goals evading him. . Haworth was also not up to his old-time form, or there is no doubt that the goose-egg would not have been credited to the Meds.
The first period opened fast, with mostly individual play. About half- way through Carrigan slipped an easy one by Cockle for the only goal of the period, and it ended 1-0 for Arts-Pharm.
The leaders assumed a decided of- fensive throughout the second period, and had a majority of the play. Their results were rewarded with two markers, Boyle getting the first and

PAGE SIX) STUDENT ELECTIONS WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18
(Continued from page one)
cess of the paper was remarkable, and the general business manage- ment was carried out under his eye on a sound basis,
As a committee nian Macdonald has done great work. During his year on the Committee on Student Af- fairs he was appointed to all import- ant sub-committees, and his attitude in dealing with the staff was always a courageous one in the _ interests of the student body. A great deal of the credit goes to him for the fact that we still have Saturday night dances, as a result of his loyal work on a committee appointed to inves- tigate them.
Bruce has worked constantly with the staff, the President, the Provost and the Adviser to Women Students, and has the personality to get their co-operation,
For a sincere servant, a. tireless worker, an experienced hand and a pleasing personality, we will have to look further than the walls of U. of A. to find a peer of Bruce Mac- donald; and such a man is needed as President of the Students’ Union.
Vice-President of Union
_ Beth Caswell
Beth is at present taking fifth year Medicine. During her five years at Alberta she has always taken a very active part in student activities, knowledge of student affairs so and has acquired that intimate essential to a Vice-President of the Union.
Beth has been interested in ath- leties as a member, of the ladies’ hockey team for 1928-24, and in ex- ecutive offices she has taken an ac- tive part.
For the past year she has been President of Women’s Athletics and a member of the Students’ Council. She has done very successful work in office, and has shown herself a valuable member on the Council,
Beth’s familiarity with student government, her experience and her wide interests eminently fit her for the position of Vice-President of the Students’ Union.
_ Marjorie Sherlock
Marjorie came from Lethbridge, bringing with her a goodly portion of the southern sunshine and breeziness for which that part of the province is famous. He r career has been a varied one, in whicih she has gained a wealth of valuable experience, which eminently itd her for the position. of Vice-President of the Union.
At High School she took a leading part in dramatics, debated in the Provincial League and crowned her career by being elected to the pre- miership of the Students’ Parliament.
Then she spent a year at Brank- some Hall, Toronto, where she be- came Editor-in-Chief of the Year Book.
Next she came to Varsity, and with her natural ability and excellent training soon came to the fore. She has taken part in debating and nu- merous social functions; the Arts Club owes much to her organizing ability, and the Junior year is grate- ful for her valuable services as Vice- President.
With all this she’s still had time to take a heavy course in Honours Eng- lish and pull down “Firsts” by the score.
“She’s got brains and judgment
and common-sense,
A witty tongue and a charming
smile.”
What more do we want?
Secretary of the Union R. R. Mitchell
R. R. Mitchell, or, as he is. popu- larly known to his. many friends, “Bob” Mitchell, came to the halls of learning in 1921. He has been busily engaged in giving .everybody a hand wherever necessary, besides finding time to knock the odd firsts, and expects to graduate in Arts this spring. .
During the past four years Bob has been actively interested in Uni- versity athletics. He is an active member of the Rugby Club, he has played interfaculty hockey, and has held the Alberta middleweight boxing championship.
The French Club and the Students’ Parliament have also been the scenes of activity on the part of this aggres-
ive student.
This year the Senior class showed its appreciation .of Bob’s effective work during the past four’years, and elected him for their president.
His previous record and the gener- al esteem in which Bob is held ‘by all who know him, are indications that he should poll a large vote on March 18th. : Donald M. Ramsay Donald M. Ramsay is singularly well fitted for the position of Secre-
tary of the Students’ Union. For two hots he has been speaker of the Al-
erta Boys’ Parliament, and in that capacity he has won unqualified re- spect for his coolness in tight situ- ations, his unfailing tact and his re- markably complete knowledge of pro- cedure.
At the University Don has for more than one term, acted as House Leader in the Students’ Parliament, he is an active officer of the C. O. T. C., and has this year guided the newly-formed Arts Club to a position of strength among student organiz- ations. Last year he served as ad- vertising manager of the Evergreen and Gold. He has been for some time an active member of the Botany Club. In his four years at the Uni- versity he has acquired an enviable reputation as a valuable committe: man, as his selection for various Str dents’ Union committees will testify. Don is an honours student in Botany, taking a five years’ course, in which he graduates next year.
: M. L. Watte ‘
During his term at the University Morty has shown the sound judg- ment, energy and executive ability which fit him for the position of See- retary of the Students’ Union.
Success has marked his term of office as President of this year’s Junior Class. Furthermore, he is the present Editor of the Year Book, and he has worked earnestly and effi- ciently as Treasurer of the Debating Society. He has shown his ability as a debater by qualifying for the Arts team in the interfaculty de- bating finals.
In athletics Morty has taken a prominent place, He was one of Al- berta’s tennis representatives in the inter-Varsity tournament last fall; he was captain of the intermediate basketball team in 1923, also a mem- ber of this year’s team.
With his successful record in stu- dent activities, Morty carried a bril- liant record as a student and a wide general experience.
This record stamps Morty as a most valuable man for next year’s Council,
Secretary of the Lit,
Lawrence Kindt
In Lawrie Kindt we have a very capable candidate for the secretary- ship of the Lit. Previous to enter- ing Varsity his executive ability was clearly demonstrated as President of the Junior U.F.A. for four years. He managed initiation, a difficult task in its present form, to the satisfac- tion of both Sophomore and Fresh- man. As President of the Sophomore class, Lawrie has by his judgment and energy conducted its activities very successfully. Lawrie’s reputa- tion as an executive man is further enhanced by each office he assumes.
Although _not directly connected with the Lit. he has the qualities which give assurance that in his hands the interests of the society would ‘be furthered.
_. Shirley MacDonald
Shirley MacDonald is a candidate for Secretary of the Literary Asso- elation. This is a position on the Council that requires’ a man with outstanding executive ability com- bined with lots of pep to put the big things over. The Lit. has a good re- cord from last year, and the only way to assure another one is to elect a man who can do the work and who is willing to take the time and do it.
Shirley is well known as a hard worker, and his ability is unquestion- ed. .He has been a student here for four years, and the experience he has gained during this period wil’ certainly stand him in good stead in this position.
He is well known over town, and will have no difficulty in getting local support for any Varsity activi- ties that the Lit will put on, which are of interest to overtown people.
He has participated in the activi- ties of the various clubs, comprising the Literary Association, and he is well acquainted with their individual problems, and will be able to work well with the remainder of the Ex- ecutive in solving them.
Helen McQueen
Three years of active University life have made it possible to say of Helen that ‘‘everyone knows_ her.” Being an ’’over-towner” has in no way affected her popularity; she be- longs. Nor have her activities been merely social. She had hardly got past the scared, two-braid Fréshette stage when she found herself Fresh- man rep. on the Wauneita Executive. Last year she was Junior rep. for the Literary Society. This year she has maintained her interest in the Lit. as its Vice-President, in which capacity she is also a member of the Students’ Council, All who have been associat- ed with lter in thesé positions are unanimous on the question of her real ability and her keen interest in all matters pertaining to student ac- tivities. Such a breadth of experi- ence should not be passed by. Helen’s interest is still “going strong’’; it is

quite the natural thing that she carry

Secretary of Men’s. Athletics . Ross Henderson
Ross is best known as the bril- liant runner and reliable punter of Varsity senior rugby. He has play- ed rugby here for three years, and this fall captained the Varsity senior squad. Those who have been asso- ciated with him have nothing but praise for his work. Moreover, he plays baseball, basketball, tennis and hockey, and he is a skilled performer in each,
This term Ross has been Sports Editor of The Gateway, and many and enthusiastic have been the tri- butes paid to his attractive page. Absolute impartiality and graphic re- ports have featured this year’s sport page.
Ross is a Commerce student in the third year; his course should fit him for an executive position. When we couple with this his breadth of experience in University athleties, we realize how well he is equipped for the position of Secretary of Athletics.
Aubrey McMillan
Few students know Varsity sports as does “Aubs” McMillan. He is known as an excellent soccer player, and no mean performer in other fields, but he derives his chief fame from the fact that he has been the pilot for the past two years of the Varsity hockey team. In the capa- city of manager he has devoted much time and labor to the hockey club, and the success of the senior teams of this year and last must be largely attributed to efficient management.
“Aubs” has the interest of sport at heart; he knows Varsity students and their ways; he has acquired rare experience in executive work, and such a pe is always valuable in the Athletic Association and on the Stu- dents’ Council.
Wesley Oke
It is the opinion of Wes Oke’s many friends that any task to which he sets his hands will be done quickly, carefully and well.
He first came into the spotlight in the Freshman play last year; since then he has been actively engaged in the Dramatic, of which, by the way, he is this year Junior rep. He has dis- tinguished himself in the Students’ Parliament and the Debating So- ciety.
He has furthermore proved him- self a sterling athlete. Wes is the present half-mile Varsity champion, he is an excellent boxer and was a winner in the recent wrestling cham- pionships (lightweight).
Since Christmas he has served on The Gateway as Managing Editor, and has in this brief space of time acquired an enviable reputation for absolute reliability and sound busi- ness judgment.
Moreover, he is a student of real merit. Such versatility is not every- where found, so where found full: ad- vantage should be taken of it,

RICE BALKS AT INITIATION |PROPOSED CHANGES
THEN BALKS AUTHORITY
(Continued from page one)
monton Bulletin of March 6, entitled ‘Won't Submit to Initiation; Leaves Varsity.” The article entirely mis- represents the facts. It is apt to give an unfair impression of the student body and of the University at large to those among the public not ac- quainted with the student organiza- tions in the University of Albertai We would therefore like to state clearly and concisely the actual facts of the case. It may, however, be ad- visable to give first a short outline of our system of discipline.
The Legislature of the Province of Alberta, by Sec. 41, sub-sec. 18, of the University Act conferred upon the Senate of the University author- ity to establish representative stu- dent institutions. In accordance with this Act, the President of the Univer- sity, acting on behalf of the Senate, created the Students’ Court. This Court has full and competent juris- diction to hear ‘and determine breaches of discipline or other con- duct detrimental to the best inter- ests of the student body. The pro- cedure in the Students’ Court. is similar to that of any court of jus- tice. Its decisions, however, must be ratified by the Committee on Stu- dent Affairs before becoming effec- tive. This committee is composed of the Chancellor, the Chairman of the Board of Governors, and the Presi- dent of the University, the Provost, the Advisor to Women Students, two representatives from the Senate, the Deans of the Faculties, and eight student representatives. Should any student be dissatisfied with any de- cision of the Students’ Court he has the right to appeal to the Commit- tee on Student Affairs, and thence to the Senate. In addition there is a subordinate court, the Sophomore Court, to. hear and determine all cases of a minor nature. In this Court the procedure is similar to that in the Students’ Court, and_an ap- peal lies to the last named Court.
CLASSMATES’, OPINION
The Freshmen have express- ed their opinions of the Rice case in no uncertain terms. Be- low is the text of the resolu- tion they passed regarding the affair, which will be presented to the Union at their next meeting,
“We, members of the Fresh- man year, collectively and in- dividually do appreciate the ef- forts of the Sophomore year and Senior students to intro- duce us into University life in an atmosphere of cordiality, sportsmanship and jollity, and that we deplore the erroneous impression which has been created by an article published in the Edmonton Bulletin of March 6, 1925, with reference to the case of a Freshman, D. H. Rice, in connection with the initiation. activities and _ treat- ment of Freshmen by Sopho- mores on that occasion.”
An information against Dwight H. Rice for contempt of the Sophomore Court was laid before the Students’ Court. He was duly summoned, but failed to appear. Obviously the Court had no alternative. It pro- ceeded ex parte and its judgment was as given in the article above mentioned.
It is interesting to note that this Court had no charge before it re- garding Initiation, and was not con- sidering the matter of initiation. What. was of the greatest import- ance to the Court was the fact that Rice had defied the body authorized to carry out student discipline in the University. This is the most serious offence a student can commit, for it undermines all authority in the
University. “February 6, 1925,
“Mr. Dwight Rice, 9803 93rd Ave.,
Edmonton South, Alta. | “Dear Sir,—I beg to advise you that at a meeting of the, Committee on Student Affairs held Wednesday, February 4th, the judgment of the Students’ Court in regard to your
‘!ease was reviewed, and was referred
back to the Students’ Court for re- consideration.
“The Committee desires to make it perfectly clear to you that neither the Students’ Court nor the Com- mittee of Student Affairs assumes any responsibility for your action in ahsenting yourself from lectures at the University.
The Committee advises that you return to lectures and present your case to the Students’ Court. It does so with the full confidence that every consideration will be given to your explanation of your stand in the matter. If after the case has been reconsidered you are not satis- fied with the judgment of the Stu- dents’ Court you will recognize that you have the privilege of appeal to the Committee on Student Affairs, from which also a further appeal may be made to the Senate of the University.
Yours truly, (Sed.) J. M. MacEachran, : Provost.”
And now one or two remarks as to certain statements in the article.
In an endeavor to aid Mr. Rice a number of the student officials went out of their way to impress upon him the seriousness of his position if he were to persist in his defying attitude towards our courts. Al- though at the time Mr. Rice saw fit to thank the student officials for their advice, yet the article states that the officials ‘‘waylaid the stu- dent between lectures ... to ply him with threats...”
It may be added that the Provost in reply to a letter received from Mr. Rice requested him to come tv his office to discuss the matter. Thic request has remained completely ignored, so that Mr. Rice has been consistent in refusing to appear be- fore any of our courts or any of the University authorities. —
Tt has already been pointed out that initiation was not part of the
IN ATHLETIC
(Continued from Page Five.)
PROPOSED ACT TO AMEND THE WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIA- TION ACT.
The Women's Athletic Association Act of the Statutes of the Students’ Union of
the year 1921 is amended as follows:
By repealing Section III and substituting the following ‘therefor:
1. The administrative powers hereby granted shall be and are hereby vested in an Executive Committee which shall consist of:
(a) An Honorary President to be chosen by the Executive at the first meet- ing of the Executive of each aca- demic year.
The President, who shall be a Senior student, and a Secretary-Treasurer, both to be elected as provided for under the Constitution of the Stu- dents’ Union, ‘
(c) The Vice-President, the Manager of the Women’s Hockey Club, the Man- ager of the Women’s Basketball Club, and the Manager of other ath- letic clubs, organized in accordance with this Act, all to be elected, by secret ballot, at the first regular meeting of the Women's Athletic Association of each academic year. A representative from the first year, to be elected at a meeting of the women students of that class, called by the President of the Women’s Athletic Association for that purpose as early as may be deemed suitable in each academic year.
2. The total membership of the Execu- tive shall not exceed nine in number, not counting the Honorary President,
By repealing Subsection (3) of Section VII, and substituting the following there- for:
8. It shall constitute an offence under this Act for any student, as defined under Section II, Subsections (1), (2) and (38) of the Constitution of the Students’ Union, to represent any Athletic Association outside of the University, without first obtaining special permission from the Executive, and any student guilty of such an offence shall be debarred from participation in all Uni- versity athletics until renstated by the Executive.
That Subsection (1) of Section V_ be amended as follows:
(1) The first meeting of the Women’s Athletic Association shall be held not later than the second Friday of October in eacl year.
(b)
(d)
offence with which Rice was charg- ed before the Students’ Court. But in view of the fact that the writer of the article has placed undue em- phasis on the part initiation played in the case, it may be well to make a passing observation.
Anyone reading that article would have a vision of a poor unfortunate freshman hounded and harried, com- pelled by pitiless necessity to clown it along the “public highway’’ before derisive and “assembled multi- tudes.” As a matter of fact the new student is not forced to wear. his college skull cap, pennant and colors, or to roll his trousers up when going any distance from the campus. Fur- thermore, over town parades are con- trary to the Students’ Union regula- tions. We quote from them:
“That the Students’ Union take all steps it may deem necessary to. in- sure that in future all initiation pro- ceedings and activities are confined to the University grounds.’’—Nov. 24, 1922.
Yours truly, M. R. LEVEY, President of the Students’ Union. G. J. BRYAN, Chief Jus- tice, Students’ Court.
Present day methods of university education — “hotbed methods’—are sadly in need of revision, Ira D. Mackay, of the Faculty of Arts of McGill University, told an audience recently. A liberal’ education, he contended, is the most powerful in- fluence in civilization, By this he does not mean the kind of education by which men and women are trained for specific tasks, or for engaging in particular professions or indus- tries. He means rather the general education which fits men and women for their places in the world’s work; fits them to became useful citizens and members of society.
