UR COUNTRY, in common with other democracies, is still engaged in the struggle to preserve the democratic way of life. In contending for the maintenance of individual liberty, We are endeavoring to preserve those very factors of freedom and independence Which have built the in- stitution of life insurance. The survival of democracy-for survive it will-means the continuance of those rights and desires which life insurance was created to satisfy. A matter of vital importance for the pres- ervation and progress of any nation is the unanimity of thought and purpose of its people. The institution of life insurance combines hundreds of thousands of indi- viduals in one common endeavor. In turn its many millions of investments gives each one a personal ownership in the resources and industry of the country. In this Way life insurance does much to promote and sustain Canada's national unity. 'HEGREAT -WEST LI FE ASSURANCE COMPANY HEAD OFFICE - w1NN1PEG, CANADA

Waudff fqihleiicft OWING to existing war conditions. the Athletic Board of the University of Manitoba was compelled to curtail its normal extensive athletic program for the year 1940-41. With all stu- dents, including the co-eds, taking part in the University Mili- tary Training, the usual complete program, including Varsity hockey and all forms of intercollegiate competition had to be foregone. In its place, however, the Athletic Board substituted a few innovations such as mass participation in social athletic events. The Roller Skating Jamboree, in which 800 students took part, and the Ice Carnival, in which 1.500 students were active, are examples of this new program of the Athletic Board. In addition, a few new clubs were inaugurated this year and other programs were greatly extended over previous years. The Badminton Club and the Ski Club were new additions, and the Bowling Leagues and the Swimming Club were greatly improved. With regard to our University Bowling League, it is believed that it is the largest operating Bowling League in the world, with more than 400 active participants. Golf and tennis were more prominent this year and the number of entrants in each of the tournaments shows that the students are more interested in taking an active part in sports rather than being merely spectators. The University dropped interfaculty rugby from the curricula, due to lack of time, and toba Junior Rugby League. The basketball convenor entered three Varsity teams in City competition and was rewarded with three finalists in addition to one City champion fthe Junior Varsityb. The co-eds played a home and home cage series with the Saskatchewan co-eds and lost the series only after over- time had been played. The frontispiece for the Athletic Section has a more homey atmosphere this year in that we have our cheerleaders in the foreground. These girls attend all the games and do a great job of cheerleading and no mention of thanks is ever given to them. Left to right we have Chickie Hooker, Marion Duncan. Lorraine McDonald, and Jo. Logan. On the whole, the students of Manitoba have demonstrated this year that they are well qualihed to keep up their interests in extra-curricular work as well as their academic and military obligations. As editor, I should like to take this opportunity to thank all the convenors for supplying us with ma- terial on their sports to help us make an interesting athletic section. When the final gun has been fired, a mighty mass of young humanity surges to its feet to cheer the thundering herd as they leave the field . . . let us rise once more before they part from the cam- pus forever . . . to sing them a Hnal praise . . . and to the others who labor throughout the school year for the glory of Manitoba in the field of games and sports. .W-Mm gpkb 19931 SOL.
