OF WATERLOO,
Student It will cost you four dollars more to be a student next year. Federation of Students fees were raised four dollars to $22 by Student Council on Monday night--and you’ll pay at registration on top of your tuition, athletics and healthservices fees. The vote Monday was 10 in favor, four against and five abstentions. The budget is the largest in Student Council’s history. $228,063 is the total cash flow for 1967-68, compared to $153,493 last year. -----_--_____________________ Full budget on page 2 ----------__-__--_-___-_____On March 19 Council had pass4 the budget and raised the fees from $18 t0 $20 but the increase was not enough. Council also gave final approval to the budget Monday--ten for, four against and four abstentions. “‘We made a basic error in our income calculation,” said treasurer ROSS McKenzie on Monday. “Half the CO-op students are on campus two terms in a fiscal year while the other half is on only one. We only collect three-quarters the amount of fees we would collect from the same number of regular students (who are on campus two of the three terms .)‘* “To correct for this we had to raise the fees another two dollars to $22,” said McKenzie. The fee is still lower than most other Ontario universities. The first calculations had assumed all of the 71000student enrollment expected in September would be on campus two terms each, Councils in previous years had not been faced with this problem, since they worked out their budgets in October, when the income was already known. This is the first time a Council budget has been finalized before summer. At the March 19 meeting there was a long debate on whether the fees should be raised or whether students should pay for individual benefits. The increased income is necessary because the budget is tight and the contingency fund--for unforseen expenses --was extremely low because of a $5,000 debt incurred by the 1966-67 Council. Peter Fried, grad rep, suggested a nominal fee for the campus directory as a way of increasing income, but this was rejected. John Shiry, board of publications chairman, said that things all students benefited from should come out of the Federation fee and that the fee should be raised. Several other exec meinbers urged a fee raise. “Services like the directory should be given away,” said Stewart Saxe, chairman of the board of external relations. “There would be no problem in justifying a fee increase to the board of governors.” Helping the student-activities board to keep ticket prices down would be one good reason, he said.

rejected this also because it wanted time to see budgets for these items and consider requests for money from the contingency in this light. Treasurer McKenzie said after the Monday meeting that no further requests for student-activities subsidies would be made at this time. “The weekends will operate on a break-even basis. If subsidies are strongly justified in a complete budget the board of student activities will bring requests to Council before anyweekend,“hesaid. “This is one of the reasons for a large contingency fund .” Other reasons are themovetothe campus center s Tenth-Anniversary Week (of the university), an education program, and the $5,000 debt. Mike Sheppard, St. Jerome’s rep, presented his film-production budget to both meetings. In an amendment at the March 19 meeting he asked for a $2,000 grant to produce two short films under the creative-arts board. It was defeated because no preparation had been done and the budget had not gone through the creative-arts board. On Monday Sheppard moved that $2,000 be set aside from the contingency fund for the Film Production Company, a new club on campus open to anyone. The money will be allocated only when the budget, scripts and shmting time have been justified, said the motion. Sheppard said the new company would choose the scripts--one for fall shooting and one for winter-and the directors. The formation of the company overcomes the problem of only himself having the chance to produce films. This motion and another asking the university to hire a professional consultant for the film were passed unanimously.

Bookstorepricesdown15% Books will cost 15 percent less at the university bookstore starting July 1, according to the long-awaited ancillary-enterprises report. Tom Patterson, one of the students appointed to the university president’s special committee on ancillary enterprises after las t November ‘s bookstore sit-in, announced this to Student Council Monday night. Bookstore profits were used to make up losses in other ancillary operations--athletics, food services ) residence, and health services o “Effective July 1 it is reccommended that the bookstore operate to gain a margin of 3.2 percent,” said Patterson. “The markup on books and mandatory supplies will be approximately 10 percent--as opposed to a present average of 30.9 percent .” The decrease on selling price is about 15 percent. He said the markup would cover the cost of running the store and the move to the new store in the food-services building. The committee report also recommends no more special discount and privileges for faculty and staff unless they apply to students as well. Another of the important recomrnendations of the committee, said Patterson, is that each ancillary enterprise be a self-sustaining unit.
“The deficit in any one enterprise should be made up by that enterprise the next year,” he said. A committee is to be set up to recommend to President Hagey what should be done with the surplus from any one enterprise.” The committee will include five administration members, one from the athletic directorate, one from the colleges, faculty members and three students. The recommendations of the committee on student in residence , one graduate student, and one “other” student all to be chosen by theFederation.

Patterson told Council that although things got off to a slow start after the successful sit-in, thesuccess of the committee showed that greater cooperation with the administration has advantages. , Council moved a vote of thanks to Patterson and Dave Andres, the other student on the committee, for their successful work in getting prices lowered. University president J. G. Hagey, when he recei:red the report March 15, was pleas& with its thoroughness a He congratulated and thanked the committee for its work.

Some ambitious Villagers in the East quadrant are operating a pirate radio station on a tenth of a watt. As yet the producers have no broadcasting schedule and have to keep changing channels to get a dear one. When asked the reason for thepirate station, the operator said, “Because the university didn’t get a transmitter and because CHYM is such a lousy station.” For that student who had to make a big stink in September ‘66 to get a clean blanket after “who knows” had used it all summer: any new student who moves in will now get a clean blanket within a week.

But, as I had my trusty Polaroid with me, I snapped a picture of the flying body. I was (when I developed the film the next morning) surprised to find that there was actually a picture of the shining body. I can offer an explanation which might satisfy the science-minded sceptics. At the party, I had accidentally spilled beer on the camera. Perhaps, for that reason, it was as intoxicated as I was, and therefore saw what I did.

To the editor: Due to the severe criticism which Orientation 67 has received as a result of your front-page article (“Beanies stay off fresh’* Mar. lo), I feel the situation needs clarification. Regardless of your headlines, the Frosh will have beanies next year. The committee motiondeclared that it would not buy beanies as in the past. Rather the fr,osh are to make their own beanies, subject to certain inst:ructions from the orientation conlmittee, to be sent out in the pr e-ma il. Steire Russell president of Engineeril;lg Society A, states that orienrati fees have been raised from $5 to $A 0. The fees have not yet been set. 4 ceiling of $10 was set but
this in no way means that the fees will reach the $10 level. RusselI also states that the frosh are not getting their money’s worth. Without a final budget or a set fee for the froshthereis no justification for his statement. Russell’s criticism of Stewart Saxe’s handling of orientation is entirely unjust. Themeetings areopen and have all been well publicized in the Chevron. At the meetings Saxe states his views the same as anyone else and, when needed, a vote is taken. I assure Russell that Saxe in no way intimidates the committee members to vote the way he wishes them to. BILL BRYCE vice-chairman 0 rientation 67 history 2
A step the wrong way It seems that every campus newspaper in Canada must at-least once every year write an editorial about Student Council interference. It’s too bad, but here we go. It’s ridiculous for a government to run a newspaper that’s supposed to be a voice independent enough to criticize that government. The student government here realized this several years ago. To keep the Waterloo student press free of Council interference, it created a board of publications, It is the job of the board of publication to act as a buffer between the government and the press. It is the job of the board of publications to hire and fire the editor-in-chief of the Chevron.
The board of publications is the publisher of the Chevron, says the board of publications bylaws (echoed in the Chevron masthead at the bottom of this page every week). On Monday night, however, Council chose to vitiate this. They insisted on grilling the editor the board of publications had already appointed. The Monday session was amicable, But that’s no guarantee we’ll concede. it will be next year. Before then, gentlemen of the Council, decide firmly that you’re going to continue to leave the press alone as you have in the past. There was no need to question your own board. What’s it there for anyway, if not to keep you and us at a respectable distance?

This year has seen better coverage of campus news - and more of it. Next year we hope for further expansion - at least a page of cross-Canada campus news and more depth and human interest stories at home. This year for the first
time U of W hit the Canadian University Press scoreboard as the Chevron took three third prizes. Next year we’ll cream the rest of them L This year we’ve had the largest, most dependable, most versatile and most enthusiastic staff ever. Anyone that publishes the week before exams has got to be dedicated or demented. Next year why don’t you join the asylum? We’ll be back May 12.
It’s just plain ridiculous .
That the editor, the staff ideologue and the typesetter should make rotte n puns in the Campus quickies column.

Past-presidedSheppardsumsup,looksahea The Chevron sent out veteran council reporter Dale Martin to sum up the year. He came back with this interview with pastpresident Mike Sheppard. Were you always an activist did it grow on you?

Looking back on last year, what was your biggest mistake? The biggest mistake as far as getting across actions and policies
in Council was starting right off at the beginning of the year to attempt to pass the universal-accessability resolution without giving a monthor so beforehand to put forth the idea. To bring it on people cold was a mistake--people didn’t really have time to think about it. If the universal-accessability referendum had failed, would you have resigned? If it had failed totally, yes I would have. The unfortunate thing about this is that when it was reported in the press, it was taken by a lot of people as some kind of threat, which of course it wasn’t. First of all, as far asparliamentar-y procedure goes, having been defeated on a ma jar issue, it is tra-

to bring the averagestudent actively into the decision making process, rather than have him simply elect a bunch of people andlet them make the decisions. Was last year’s Council a good Council? They were as a whole a good councu. Like an:1 council you get some deadwood, people who simply don’t do anything. At times, from my own personal point of view, they were a little reactionary and a little hit conservative but I think they’ve been far better than any other council we”ve ever had. This is the first council that*s ever taken a real concern in the major issues of the day that affect students. What would you like to see the new Council do? Probably the thing that I’d like to see it do most is to find a way to make all the students aware of what it is trying to do and to try to get them activated to back up council on major policy issues. The policy issue that I’d like to see them deal with, would be to do something about university government, because from what I can see the problems of the university are for the most part just reflections of the problems of society as a whole. But I think that if we canbeginto reform within the university, it can act as a sort of counter-community and get people coming out of this counter-communitv who will be able to act to reform society
