Students to ,Bleed Shortly Hoopsters Rake Rivals After a sea’son and a half of rough going, the Vikings have’ really arrived. Playing better each time out, they downed arch-rivals U.B.C. Jayvees twice last weekend inthe mainland city 62-59 and 57-51, in a pair of exhibition basketball games. Friday’s game wentright down to the wire, with the Vikings’ Willie Wong sinking a long set shot with thirtyseconds rem,aining to put the college one point up. U.B.C. missed on their only try seconds later,andDarrell Lorimer sewed the game up with two freeshots in, thelast five seconds. Lorimer hadanother great night for V.C., hitting thirty points for the second time this season. On S a t u r d a y night,with Lorimerheavilyguarded, other Vikings stepped in and made the basketsring. George Brice and Bill Hobbis turned in :their best games so far this season, hitting €or 15 and 10 points respectively. half of Brice snagged almost Victoria’s rebounds, and Hobbis time andagain forced U.B.C. intomaking foolish errors. A t one point In the game, the Vikings led by 11 poi.nts, but U.B.C. came on strong in the dying seconds to come within six. Lorimer, who had Jayvees down hi’s neck all night, still managed to toss in 17 points, ,eleven of them on free throws. The Vikings have won five out of their last six games, dumping Lower Columbia .twice, Kerrisdale once and U.B.C. twice. Next weekend the Vikings travel to Bellingham to tack\e the powerful W,estern Washingtonsquad, who will return the favour with a pair of games here on the 26th and 27th of January.The following weekend, the U.B.C. Jayvees will be here to try ana even up the score. . U.B.C.Takes C.U.P.Trophy Telegram,and Andrew Snaddon . of the CalgaryHerald.

Is there any ground for optimism in a world that holds a gun to its forehead? Perhaps for some men there is a hope. The feelhg that it is verywellpossible we may bedeadtomorrow can generate some good results. For those whowould speculate or rebel, it is a further incentive. If youfeel that you may not be here to see the next sun rise it is naturally easier to follow your immediate inclinations. The creative personwhopreviously hadto fight the exhausting battle between his will to create and the lure of a more stable materialistic life now finds the conflict resolved for him. He may as well have his fling; he may as wellfollow his creative irrationality and attempt to write, for tomorrow he may no longer have a chance to do anything further. The young graduates in the past have often cast aside their nobler aspirations and settled for a money-making career: “I’m going to. make $10,000 a year beforeI’m thirty.’’ For many, this type of mbition is nolonger valid. It becomes harder to peer through the mushroom clouds into the future. What,then, will be the results of adopting a “live today” philosophy? We may very well develop many more younger writers, artists, and other creative people. For these are the ones who would feel their time is limited and they must begin as soon as possible.Moreover, they may produce better creations, for they will try to do their best in a limited time. Butnot only the creative ones willbe af€ected; those whowould maketheir careers in business and industry will exceltoo. The time factor will drive them on to great ambition and accomplishment. The overt effects of this growing philosophy a& beginning to be seen. People may leavecollege in thc middle of the year. Themajority of people seeing thiz will condemn these adventurers as “quitters or fools”. Bul we who remain have p10 right to judge them. Such action3 are personal and individual and cannot be evaluated bS; others. Those who would see as much of life as they can ‘whiletheycan, should not be debunked. Andwhether they succeed or failin their adventureis of no consequence For in themselves they have succeeded, a t least for a time because they followed their inclinations and did what the3; felt they must. The sameis true for the graduateengineer who decide8 to become a farmer, or the Arts graduate who comes bacE and starts a science course, or the artistwho just suddenlJ leaves college for parts unknown. Those who would judgc such peopleby their narrow materialistic standards 01 conventions are out of order. From just such rebels, just such seekers after tht world of experience, after their life of truth, may co,mt the value of our future-ifwe haveone.

The game was off to a faf start when, after only 10 minute of play, College prop John Hog andSonny Vickery of the Bay were thrown from the game fc almost coming to 'blows. It was hoped that the dis missal of Vickery would quiet th animals, ,butthe remainder c the teamfilled the breach admir ably, forcing the Vikings to bea them a t their own game.

I (sc) JANUARY MARTLET, THE 1962 LH3 16, M3a TV R& - ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ SIMPLE REALITY By’DAVID JAMES The Russian movie, “Ballad 0: a Soldier”, is a striking film although it contains almostever! conventional sentimentalsitua. tion devised. Tacked on to the basic plot 0: a young soldier travelling or special leave from the front arf all the standard inconveniencel of a corrupt sentry, a lone gir who just happens to get in thf same box-car with him, a sympathetic officer, mis,sed trains and blown-out brijdge. Also included is a joyous reunion of a disabled soldier and his wife, plus an episode w i t k an unfaithful wife and an 016 father gladdened by news of hit son. However, rather than being 6 string of pictorial cliches, thc show has the impact of being 8 graphic and realisticpanorama of the pathos war engenders ir the lives of ordinary people. On€ feels from this, that this is thc way life is. Few -if any - artificial set: are used, and if the extras anc bit players were professiona: actors the Russianshave nothing to learn about accurate and realisticcostuming. Nor are thc actors particularly handsome 01 beautiful. They look like people Thesub-titles were probabl3 written by someone not entire13 familiar with the English idiom for some of tihe slang expressionr didn’t seem to fit. The last subtitle-“We remember him as . . a soldier”-is not quiteaccurately translated. The narrator sayst “A Russiar! Goldier.” In spite of its excellent handling and treatment, it is a propaganda film. Guild Opens Season Last Saturday night the VictoriaTheatre Gpild opened i t 8 1962 seasonwith a seven-night run of George Bernard Shaw’s “Don Juan in H,ell”. “Don Juan” is describ,ed by many as one of Shaw’s best. It is a play of ideas which embodies Shaw’s life philosophy and is, in fact, the second,,act of Shaw’r “Man and Superman”. In the Guild’s production oi this playwhich involves only four characters, Rabert Price plays Don Juan, Bruce Banyard is Mephistopeles (the Devil), Helen Smith is Donna Ana and Ken Bostock is the Commander. ’Phe play is directed by Bruce Williams. The Guild’s performance is being staged at Langham Court Theatre (just off Rockland Ave.) until the end of this week. Tickets are available at Eaton’s ticket office. Students will be admitted for 75c if they show a studentcardwhenpurchasing their tickets. CBC-Ecchhhh 1 - PAN PAN ~~ I The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation thinks us extremelj naive, I know, but this tim.c they’ve gone too far. In .a recenl half - hour fiasco called, “Si1 Francis Drake”, a rather promiscuous, haughty SpanishCountes! contrives to blow up the “Golder: Hind”, by means of a fuse from 2 candle to the ship’s powdel magazine. This in the name oj glorious Spain(.andher pridc which had bseen hurt). Now Drake is completely at 2 loss a’s to how she plans XI: demolish his ship. He orders thc ship searched from stem tc stern,tono avail.They were anchored off an uninhabited island, and $he countess(complete with retinue-properly including the c h a s t e eunuch guarding a young niece and nephew of hers) is a prisoner ol Drake’s, as a result of a babtle Now I ask you, use whatever simple logic you may know, on the premises as set forth by the intellectual authors of this gripping drama : first premise : she gave him plenty of warning thal she was going to send the shil: and all the occupants to the bottom. Second premise: She poutingly asked to ble moved from the comfort andprivacy oJ Drake’s personal cabin :to a more public spot (with the rest of her outfit) directlyover the powder magazine. (Are you starting tc get the picture?).rhird premise: She had her personal goldsmith brought over from ,another ship “to fix her necklace.” NaturallJ; he fixed the fuse in the process Fourth premise : On the daJ; when the fuse was installed, she asked ever so sweetly that the two children be removed to the other ship. Once again, Sir Francis complies, with a low bow from the waist. By now, we are convinced that the cunning pirate adventurer is really a simpleton who was just lucky. Swinging intoaction, finally, he orders the ship cleared of all bodies except hers and his. She valiantlyholds off-(ah, telling him about.thefuse, that Wuntil the last minute.Hisentreatiesarein vain. It is fox Spain that she will die. “What a waste,” he muses, flicking a yuarded glance at ’ her carefully ?xposed bosom in the first light If fateful dawn. Things move quickly now. The :hildren had hidden themselves iboard the ship and they appear t t this, the crucialmoment, a noment in which the fuse is ;tarting its deadly, hissing speed ;oward the powder kegs below. A leatcameratrick shows the iu.se racingalongwhat seems ike miles of fuse, towards its ethal destination. For the chiliren’s sake, she s p . i ll is the iastardlyplot;Drake plunges ntothe bowels of the sNip, ntent on saving all, and with no ;hought for his own safety. (For a moment I thought hewas Coing togallantly swallow the iuse ,andsackful of gunpowder lttached to the end of it for a letonator). Rushing into the :abin, he had to’ trace with Lgonizing slowness the path of >he fusewhich at this very mommt was already burning through ;he decking, and was within nches of the powder kegs below. Je ripsout the looseboard10-0-0,fingernails! )-and gropes Ilindly, frantically for the sizzing fuse. Now he’s got it! He “HELL” ACROSS FROMTHE “Don Juan in Hell” is a play ol ideas. It is a n intellectual playthe intellect being that ol George Bernard Shaw. There is virtually no action; ir fact, Shaw’s players arepermitted to do little except recitf the playwright’s philosophy, and it is a philosophy which encompasses every conceivable subject Thje play i,s actually only thc thirdact of “Man and Superman” and is usually committed from productions of the majo~ work-which sayslittlefor itr essentiality. Consequently the V i c t o r i a Theatre Guild is somewhat justified in its Reading of Don Juan However, reading a playdemands at least as much of the actors as acting it does.Here the four players fell short, witk the possible exception of Ken Bostock, who .added a measure ol verility to hh small role as thc comm,ander. Rob,ert Price and Bruce Banyard were often guilty of monotonous and stumbling monologues Helen Smith improved a;S the play progressed but hef role as Donna Ana is subordinate and so it was left to the Devil a n d Don Juanto rescue the plaJ; fromth,edepths of mediocrity They both failed. In a, reading, the scripts muS1 a1 remain ,inconspicuous, or least forgotten by the audience But often, as on Saturday night more attention could not have been drawn to the’ littlebooklets had each actor followed his lines with an index finger. There were highlights,however. Shaw’s bitinghumour often came through clearly, usuall;); from Ken Bostock and oncequite .accidentally- from Helen Smith who confused the nature O f her chmtity. But most striking of all was tries to stompit out on $he deck, Still it Stomp, stomp,’stomp! burns. Hiss, hiss, hiss! Only one thing left to do. He does it. He darts outside, yells, “Down everybody” and flings it over the side. As it hits the water one instant ater, it explodes with H-bomb Jiolence, and the onlydamage lone is everybody gets a light ;prinkling of salt spray;notvithstanding the possibility, that vhat with the roughplanking If the deck, the countessmay lave endured a sliver or two, she ravinginstinctively obeyed his ast order like a trained soldier. “The Smartest in Campus Haircuts” A hodge podge of noise-mas,uerading as the A1 Neil Quintet -,took the form of Tuesday’s azz concert.
