Nations By CLYDE BLACKBURN Canadian Press Staff Writer New York, Nov. 15--(AP)--Unless and until a way is found to wean public men from the intoxication that comes from the sound of one's own voice, there seems little hope of progress on the United Nations General Assembly agenda. In less than four weeks some 2,- 000,000 words of oratory have pass- ed through the hands of transla- tors and been buried in the U.N. archives. Scarcely a dent has been made in the agenda and it would be dif= ficult to point to one single for- ward step toward completing the structure of what was to be man's greatest effort for establishment of a peace-keeping mechanism. * FP No one has questioned the neces- sity of complete discussion of im- portant decisions to which the ap- proval of 51 countries is desired. But there seems to be a feeling among too many delegates that they must repeat all their argu-' ments and the background for their arguments on the same sub- . | ject wherever and whenever it aris- es. Much of the blame has gone to the Russians and their Slavic "| neighbors, and justly so because they feel they must be repetitious and exhaustive--and usually thelr : | speeches are in Russian and require longer for translation, * bb But blame attaches also fo many other delegations, including the English-speaking. . 'The Canadian proposal for short- ening debates and short-cutting procedure, has received little con- sideration although it has gone to a committee. y Now a sort of underground move- ment is afoot to organize leading delegates, and the Assembly pre- sident, Paul-Henri Spaak, in an un- official way to recognize a time limit and set a target for comple- tion'of the Assembly's work. It is unlikely to succeed and there seems every possibility that the Assembly will either abandon much of its agenda or remain in session here all winter. At the : present rate of progress it would seem that the performances at Lake Success and Flushing, N.Y., are as permanent as the stage per- formance of "Life with Father" which is in its eighth year on Broadway. * DH ) There are about 2,000 people working for the United Nations and they are all well paid. They have to pay United States income tax but then the U.N. refunds them the amount of the tax. Why that re- fund money is not also taxable -- since it is part of income--is not revealed. Eventually the Congress is expected to enact a law exampt- ing UN. personnel from income taxes and similar responsibilities as diplomats in the United Statef are exempt. But until that law is en- acted the business of paying and collecting refunds goes on and Rus- sia is getting sore about it. The Soviet delegate has tried to get a resolution passed to end the re- funds on Dec. 31.

"I would go into hiding the same as I did at the start of the last war," he declared, shouting to make himself heard above the boos and the jeers of the undergraduates, many of whom were ex-service personnel. Buck predicted that there would be "more and more 'Reds' in Can- ada." His address was continually in- terrupted from the floor by heck- lers, who shouted "Treason," "Non- sense," and "Go back to Russia." Britain and the United States, he said, would soon be commercial enemies in the battle for world markets. When the communists gained a majority in Canada, he went on, the audience ht wish for the United States to come and help them. Canada was in the mid- dle of this battle. "If the people of Europe have 10 years of peace, Europe will be a socialist continent, and Socialists will make up two thirds of the world's. population," was another forecast. His declaration of unwillingness to fight for Canada was prompted by a question from the floor as to the LP.P.'s reaction should Canada suddenly find herself at war with Russia. The speaker replied that if war were declared against Russia under circumstances similar to id in 1039, he would fight against Almonds The Woman's Association met at the home of Mrs. G.

And they are still doing it. At present there is a campaign under way to raise money for a War Memorial Gymnasium to replace the old gum, now too small for the 7,000 students. . i It all goes back to the days when the university was still housed in the temporary wooden K "Fairview shacks" in a residential area of Vancouver. A magnificent site for the university had been allocated by a provincial government, and structural steel had gone up for the library before the last war halted With the end of the war, the work. with its plans, Students, jammed into ram- shackle buildings, decided that something should be done about it.' In 1922, they started work. A campaign committee was formed to function under the Students' Coun- cll. Parades through Vancouver, ad- vertisements paid for by the stud- ents through the Alma Mater So- clety, and a determined door-to- door campaign which secured 65,000 signatures on a petition to the prov- nea) goretment as well as pledges of money for the campaign, brought about the desired on ne Point Grey Site Work was started on the Point Grey site, and in 1925-26, the first use was made of the new buildings. There still stands on the campus a cairn constructed of stones brought to the area from the "shacks" by a parade of students, originally an ironic gesture designed to point out to the government that matemals could be secured at low énough cost. Now the cairn is a permanent mem- orial to student enterprise and stud- mm Sovervinen: leadership. at was only the inning. Neither the provincial ne nor the university authorities coutd see their way to providing any athletic facilities, So again the Students' Council went tc work. A $40,000 bond issue was floated against the credit of the Alma Mater Society--that is, against the promise to pay of the student body --and the gymnasium was built, ears before the due date of the bonds. could not be put in. Again by cision of the student body, for specta! to sit. The university "stadium" consisted of a level, well- drained fleld, surrounded by an eight-foot board fence. When, in 1930, 'it became apparent 'that all the gymnasium bonds could be re- tired that year, Students' Council went to the student body again, with 'the proposition that they should continue paying the three dollars a year which had gone into the sinking fund. Another $40,000 bond issue would be floated, and the university would have a stadium. Again the students voted "yes", and 1037 saw the first games played in front of a grandstand. With adequate athletic facilities for the time being, students began to consider other recreational fa- cilities. The provincial government had built them a theatre, but no provision had been made for the numerous campus societies, for so- cial events on the campus, or for congenial surroundings during off hours. Tired of bare, sparsely fianished and uncarpeted common rooms, the students turned to their own or- ganization for the solution 'of their difficulties. A combined men's and women's union building was plan- 21ied. $15,000 already collected by a group of university women formed the nugleus of the fund, and a further "bond issue of $10,000 dollars was authorized by the students. Campaigning in the city produced donations from graduates and friends of the university. The result, The Brock Memorial Building, is probably the finest students' union building in Can- ada, with the exception of Toronto's Hart House. The building of the War Memor- ial Gymnasium will bring the total of building values resulting from actively &dministered student gov- ernment close to the half million mark, As can be dcduced from the fore- going account, B.C. students have almost complete control over their own affairs. They pay for their own legal and financial advice from Vancouver firms; this advice is then d to the students, and po- spent the weekend with Mr, Mrs, A. T.

Discipline is administered by the Students' Discipline Committee, which can levy fines for conduct prejudicial to the good name of the university, or contrary to AMS by- laws. All student organizations come under one of the members of the Stduents' Council, with Men's and Women's Athletic Reps, Literary and other clubs under a member elected for that specific purpose, and the funds are administered by a student treasurer (usually pro- ceeding to a B. Commerce degree) who is assisted by a paid profes- sional accountant.

Mrs. Mollon and Mrs, Hircock gave reports from the Home and School Conference that was held in Peterboro. Mrs. Pope had charge of the pro- gram and it being so close to Re- membrance Day, "O Lord Our Help In Ages Past" was sung by all and a reading, "Remembrance", by Mrs, Pope followed by a prayer.

Douglas. Mrs. Perry's second solo was that old favorite, "My Task", and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Mrs. Tom David- son moved a vote of thanks to Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Wallace and the meeting closed with "God Save the King". A hearty lunch was served by the committee.
