(C.U.P.)-The C.U.P. is a mighty
machine. we have oft expressed this
sentiment but never has it been proven so successfully as at the University of Toronto. It seems that one
night rt:cently the editor of the
C.U.P. was aroused from a sound
sleep by a telephone call. It was a
plea form Qu-een's that he undertake a mercy mis.! ion. Queen's had
made elaborate prepartions for their
Art Ball, ev-en to the -extent of engaging Mart Kenny and his Western Gentlemen to provide the music.
They also had a plan to sell cor·
sages at the door for 50c and give
all this money to the war effort.
With everything in readiness it
was suddenly discovered that cor·
sages in Kingston couldn't be obtained for less than 75c. Would
the editor "please" see if he could
get them for 50c in Toronto and
thus avert a catastrophe of fin·
ance.

The female members of the group

illustrate how some people in the U.

Canada, the Harvard group were told
we lacked butter, sugar, candy and a

Dear Editor:-1 congratulate you
on your brave attempt to upbraid
the three provincial pvemiers who
dared to question the sanity of certain people in 'calling the RowellSirois group to Ottawa.
\Vere they not trucul.ent men?
They suggested that our dilapidated
B. N. A. Act which we have till the
present got along tollerably well
with, should not now be attacked:
To broach this, greatest of all Canada's sore spots, is almost mutiny at
present. With the most perilous
days of Empire upon us, why should
we confound our people with base
squabbles over our Constitution?
Are the troubles of Pre-War Canada so easily forgotten?
Remote
control? Debt free money ? Padlock Laws? Hunger march on Ottawa?
Our Unemployed?
Our
most awe-inspiring system of Poverty a.midst Plenty? Can such be
forgotten in so short a time?
If we are still conscious of these
roubles let us dare not "fiddle while
London burns", that is the way of
w-eaker men. Let u.s- pick up our

Dalhousie Tigers went down to their first defeat of the
season on Tuesday evening at the Dalhousie Gym when
they fell before a powerful Navy quintet, 41-26, in a scheduled game of the City Senior Basketball League. As a result
of this game Dalhousie and Navy are now tied in points for
the leadership of the league. The Tigers were not up to
their usual form in Tuesday's game, with their passing nnd

Medicine indicated that they will
be the team to beat in the interfaculty hockey league when they
overwhelmed Commerce last Friday
at the Arena.
Commerce showed up with only
five men, but Medicine very kindly
donated the services of two of their
best players, namely, Joe MacDougall and Grant (after Commerce
had forfeited the game. But even
with these two players on their
team the Commerce team proved to
be too weak for the Meds.
MacGregor and Strickland combined nicely for many. of Medicine's
scores, but were ably supported by
the entire Med team. Scrymgeour

attack. Defenceman AI Sparks generously added a goal to the credit
of the Med t~tam when he shot the
puck in his o\\o'll net, to the astonishment of the Commerce goalkeeper.
