Some of the staff of the free chevron suggested earlier this week, after seeing last week’s paper, that every story have a byline, so that they would know who to “attack” (word not my ownbut used by Henry Hess on Monday and Tom Cody on Tuesday).

course of the Federation under an interim presidency, and a conviction that the chevron affair was not as irreconcilable as many believed. In a statement released to both chevrons for last week’s issue, the Campus Reform Group stated “Our aims -are to return the energies of the Federation to its purpose of existence, that of serving the students of the University of Waterloo. ” The Agenda for the Students’

Council meeting of Jan. 6 gave some indication of what might be expected from the group in the future, and also an indication of the leadership of the group. Eleven out of twelve notices of motion appearing on the agenda were sponsored and co-sponsored by CRG members Bruce Rorrison, Creative ‘Arts Board ChairThompson, man ; and Douglas Integrated Studies rep on Council. The motions included some business that has been waiting

’ Campaigners at Polls obstruct referendum l The student referendum was disturbed to some degree yesterday when staff members of the free chevron set up booths opposite the polling booths as part of their attempts to arrange a boycott. President Dave McLellan said, “They’re doing their campaigning right at the polling stations, which is contrary to Federation By-laws. They are literally. harand the students assing voters, were complaining to me bitterly and loudly about it.” This was at noon, yesterday. “The signs have been taken down, but they go right back up as soon as we leave. Gary Prudence, CR0 for the referendum has already talked to me about the problem, and we’re not sure how it will affect results.” When McLellan first heard of the anti-referendum polls, he went to one himself to talk to the people manning it. After a request to remove it was ignored, McLellan started to re-

move it himself. He was met with physical resistance by Peter Blunden,’ who was unable to stop him. At another poll, Neil Docherty was successful in stopping the removal of the signs, when backed up by Salah Bachir, Gord Swaters, and others. Larry Hannant was successful at a third, when backed up by Peter Blunden and Val Moghadam. “These people have absolutely no respect for demodratic principles”, said McLellan. (Ed. note: it seems somehow contradictory that Peter Blunden, who protested his loss at the Math Regular by-election in December, on the grounds that one of the polling clerks answered a voter when asked how he would vote, thinks it acceptable that he be allowed to influence voters on polling day, and that a newspaper staff who claim to be more democratic than the Federation, and having the support of the students, should try to stop the students from,showing their support. ) -r.b. burton

on the agenda for months, specifically the old Thompson motion for a Monthly Journal of Education, Politics, Science and the Arts. This elaborate four-page motion outlines the operating structure and frame of reference for a journal whose purpose would be to provide a forum for the discussion of student views about nearly anything. The proposal provides for elaborate safeguards to make sure that no group or individual is excluded from participa tion. -Other motions included one to study the feasibility of streamlining the Federation files; one to create a study group which would be charged with investigating the effects of cutbacks in educational spending in every faculty; one to publicize the agendas of Students’ Council meetings in advance; one to give the power of calling Council meetings to one third of the membership of council; and another to give the same power to the speaker of council. Under the current by-laws, the president is the only one who can call meetings. It is conceivable that a recalcitrant president might never call a meeting of Council, or might call them so rarely that Council could be effectively bypassed in the decision-making process. The purpose of these two motions seems to be to circumvent this possible loophole in the bylaws. Two motions pertained to better society-federation liaison; one to require the calling of more regular meetings between the continued

Letters should be addressed to “the editor”, Campus Centre 235, and must arrive by Tuesday noon of each week.

We Get Letters NOTICE In the December 10 issue of the real chevron, we printed a letter from a student who signed himself Chih k’angs-tu. On the staff of the free chevron is a person who signs many of his articles with his name in Cantonese, which is Shih k’ang-ti. We apologize for any confusion or embarrassment that may have’ resulted from the nearness of the two pseudonyms, as no slur was intended from this newspaper toward either the free chevron or its staff member. - r.b. burton

One more time open letter to Shane Roberts, our beloved former Fed’eration President. Dear Shane, I was just flipping thru my favorite paper, the one which always has such an inspiring picture on the top half of its front page, when I came across I had to thank you your referendum. for this last great service to us, the fed-up hard-working students, which you created even as that horrible gang of two thousand Stalinists were viciously clawing you to the ground with their sublimely malicious Machiavellian recall. I had to express my copious appreciation for the question on reinstatement which finally lay& bare the way that pack of vampires is disguising its underhanded as “reinstatement” attempt to suck trillions of dollars out of the federation. I must show my heartfelt gratitude for the last question about presidential by-elections which I couldn’t understand, but which I know in my heart is relevant to the student newspa,per. I needed to give you my abundant thanks for the first question, which gives me the chance to get rid of all these Chevrons and stick with the Gazette which has such thrilling articles on the new pencil sharpeners being installed in Nehdles Hall. My heart compels me to display my exquisite gratitude. for the second question, which gives us a chance to get our paper away from that extremist bunch of outside agitators and communist sympathisers they call CUP. I had to reveal -my manifest pleasure at the other questions which give us the opportunity to elect eminently qualified people like you or Leona Kyrytow as editor of the Chevron rather than leaving it to that in/ndless cligue of Commie AlAers who put out the paper, and which finally give us the chance to eliminate from the paper’s voting staff those leftist grad students and fringe group Laurier students who don’t. know anything about being a student at UW. Last but not least, thanks for giving us a chance to opt for a newspaper which tackles the issues which really interest students like the declining attendance at the mass moons, the quickest way to get drunk, and the winner of the potato spinning contest. Please believe in the expression of my most distinguished sentiments, Vic Vaseline Subchairperson of the Board of Featherbedding Researcher-Planper for the Board of Internal Pornogr lphy P.S. Thanks aiso for showing that calling for investigation is just a ploy on the part of those scheming radicals

We therefore demand an explanation of the inflamed incidents mentioned above.

Mouse I January 11, 1977 This letter is in regard to the front page photo and article on the “Real” Chevron vol. 1; no. 5, Jan. 7, 1977. We are outraged by the “Real” Chevron’s racist attitude. We cannot understand how such disgusting, slanted material can appear on a so-called student new” aper. Opposition to Chairman Mao’sT ideas is one thing, but insulting a national leader in such an irresponsible and blatant way is completely unacceptable. This is not the first time that such insults appeared in federation newspapers (Bullseye, “Real” Chevron). This is the most degenerate form of journalism - if it can be called journalism. Therefore, we demand a public apology from the “Real” Chevron staff to all the students for printing such material. We would like you to make sure no similar degrading material appears again on the “Real” Chevron in the future. A group of angered students (name withheld by request)

When we made the pun on last week’s cover, we did not. intend that anyone should take it as an insult; it was given in the spirit of fun, and it was hoped that it would be received the same way. If .we were to refer to Prime Minister “True-dough”, it would not be to cast dispersions on the FrenchCanadians; if we were to talk of ’ Steven “Lose-us”, it would not be to make fun of NDPer’s or Jewish people; if we were to talk of “Enduring” Ghandi, we would not be trying to insult those from the subcontinent of India; nor, if we mentioned Fidel “Castor-oil’“, would we intend it to be interpreted as a slur against Cubans. We regret that anyone would take personally what we offered only as light-heartedness. Although some people on campus claimed immediately upon seeing last week’s cover photo and cutline that it was a direct attack upon the Chinese Students at UW, let me assure everyone that it was not intended to be interpreted that - r.b. burton way.

The University Flying Club has changed the meeting room for its Ground School Course. Rather than Room 3007 of the Math and Computer Building, as was advertised last week, it is now to be held in the Engineering Lecture Hall, Room 110. The times are unchanged, and will remain at Wednesdays, from 7:30 lo:30 p.m.

Mouse II In regards to the front page photo of the real chevron (vol. 1 no. 5 January 1977). We conside.r the naming of the mouse as Mouse TseTung an irresponsible and ignorant act. It is a greatest insult to the late chairman Mao Tse-Tung and the Chinese people. This is not the first articles on appearance of such campus.

Can 5 million people be wrong? Yes - if they sign a petition against tuition fee increases - according to the Minister of Colleges and Universities, Harry Parrott. Dr. Parrott knows full well that he can take a tough line on a $100.00 increase and survive quite nicely. As long as the government can enjoy the luxury of dealing with post-secondary education in a piece-meal fashion, then a $100.00 increase will be made to look palatable, and certainly politically saleable. While the Minister tinkers around with tuition fee levels the fundamental question of accessibility has not been answered. The total cost of a post-secondary education remains prohibitive fok)most low-income families. The problem of accessibility is not going to be solved until the government can meet three major concerns of students, namely: JOBS, HOUSING, and STUDENT AID. JOBS: There are no long-range plans from the Minister of Labour so that adequate job opportunities will be available each summer. High student unemployment this summer does not appear to be of great concern to this government. In fact, the Ministry of Industry and Tourism wants to lower the minimum wage paid to people who receive tips, historically the kind of jobs available to students in the summer. HOUSING: There are no plans from the Minister of Housing to provide affordable student housing. This government appears reluctant to use “third sector” financing to construct non-profit, co-op housing on campuses throughout Ontario. Such an initiative would not only reduce the housing costs for students, but would take the pressure off the local housin‘g market. STUDENT AID: The Advisory Committee on Student Aid was to submit a report in August, 1976, suggesting ways to improve student aid. There is still no report. Why would the government raise tuition fees without getting the report, without asking what effect a $100.00 increase would have on the students? There are many inequities in the O.S.A.P. programtie. A brief description of only two such problems would include: An assumed $900.00 summer savings is fair enough, provided that you are employed. If you are not employed, as preliminary indications suggest that 15-20% of post-secondary students were unemployed this past summer, then the summer savings requirement becomes a barrier. No one should have the opportunity to “rip off” the government, so perhaps two straightforward suggestions could be implemented as a protection in the case of unemployed students applying for increased student aid: 1) real financial resources of the student should be used, verified by signature and checked against the Income Tax returns. 2) search for work proof similar to the requirements of the Canada Manpower Office and U.I.C. My conclusion would be that if there has not been an effort to seek employment, then no grant. Another barrier is the $400 penalty for car ownership. A trip to Conestoga College, Sir Sandford Fleming College, Northern College, or at. least 15 other post-secondary institutions quickly reveals the necessity of an automobile. Many of the colleges are located in underdeveloped areas, five to ten miles from the nearest town. Housing shortages have forced many students to remain in their small town or village perhaps 40 miles from the institution and commute each day. Obviously the penalty is two-fold, the $400 reduction from O.S.A.P. and the total cost of owning and operating a car. One of our recqgnized political parties, the N.D.P. opposes, ai part of its programme, tuition fee increases. The issue, however, is not solely one of tuition. It is really one of accessibility. Post-secondary institutions remain inaccessible to the children of many working class families. In fact, the inequities of the student aid programme are bringing about serious pressures for middle-income families. The government should stop tinkering around with fee increases and answer the real question of accessibility. - dave warner

The first patents for soft contact lenses from the Czechoslovakia Academy of Science were extended to Dr. Morrison; these were later sold to Bausch and Lomb. Among his patients are ihe Royal Families of Holland and Iran. Indeed Dr. Morrison has been knighted by Queen Juliana of Holland for his many clinical and scientific contributions in the contact lens field. He originated the theory that contact lenses may retard the progression of near-sightedness. Dr. Morrison is a member of numerous international societies; has lectured throughout the world; and has published about 40 scientific articles. ’ Presently, he is Chairman of the Board af UC0 Optics Corporation ; President and Chief of Consultation and Research Departments at Morrison LaboratorieS Inc. ; Associate Professor at , Pennsylvania College of Optometry; and Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at New York Medical College, as well as maintaining a large private practise.

Spectrascope Three researchers at the Guelph -Waterloo Centre for Graduate Work in Chemistry recently received a new piece of research equipment, and possible new ways to use it promise the acquisition of considerable new knowledge into the transfer of energy. The trio, Dr. Giacinto Stoles, Chemistry and Physics; Dr. Terry Gough, Chemistry; and Roger Miller, a UW graduate student, were awarded almost $50,00O,from the National Research Council in the form of a special grant through NRC’s scheme for the immediate support of new research ideas. Such grants are rare, and are given only for work of considerable importance. The research that they are involved in is spectroscopy, the study of substances by, the way it absorbs light, using an infrared diode laser as the light source. The use of the infrared light 1 source requires the use of special detectors, since it cannot be seen by the human eye. The advantage of using a diode laser, according to Dr. Gough, is that the colour in the infrared spectrum can be varied, or “tuned”. Unlike the normal method of using such an instrument - shining the light on the sample, and reading the findings of the detector on the other side of the sample, to determine the amount of light absorbed by the sample, the researchers have a new twist to it. “What we intend to do”, said Dr. Stoles, “is to spray a stream of molecules across the laser beam, then determine, through detectors, how much energy is absorbed by the molecules. This is merely the same measuring, but on a different part of the research, from a different viewpoint. ” The reasons for this new twist are threefold, said Dr. Stoles. Firstly, the results can be measured with greater precision ; secondly, smaller amounts of the substance can be used; and thirdly, the reaction can be followed while it is taking place. . “Until now, it’s been a matter of determining what happened by noting the results. The instrument is relatively new, and our

greater speed.” The value of this type of research, he explained, is in the determination of how certain chemical reactions work, so that more efficient ways of implementing the reaction can be undertaken. An example might be the acquisition of more heat from a given amount of fuel, such as gasoline, which would improve gas mileage for all forms of transportation, as well as decreasing the amount of unburnt fuel that goes into the atmosphere as hydrocarbon pollutants. “The same process”, he explained, “could also be used for study on air and water pollution, since very small samples would be required, with almost instan-

taneous readings. ” They are also interested in eventually studying easily-decomposed molecules, which have very weak ionic and covalent bonds. “We probably received the funding”, he said, “because of the many possibilities for studies that can be done _with the tool, and our application.” This is the first grant of its .type to come to any UW research projects.

from pg.1 The second motion called

for two alternative types of investigation to be offered to the f r e e chevron, one would have representation from OFS (the Ontario Federation of Students) and CUP, (Canadian University Press). The second version also includes for OFS, CUP as well as a professional journalist and a lawyer. Unfortunately, none of the motions could be voted on at the January 6 meeting because of failure to achieve quorum twenty minutes after it was called to order. Another meeting is scheduled for this Sunday at which time all these items will again be on the agenda. According to I.S. rep Thompson, who is the mover or seconder of all the motions, the intent ,is to get the Federation moving again. “Virtually nothing has been accomplished in the Federation since September, ” said Thompson, “and it’s time the chevron affair took, second fiddle to providing real service to the students. If the president is not able to provide that leadership, then it is going to have to come from the council.” When asked about a solution to the chevron affair, Thompson said that he was personally unwilling to support any unconditional settlement. “A solution can be worked out, but it has to be done through a process of negotiation. I can’t speak for the president, but the Reform Group is more than eager to get such negotiations under way: OFS and even NUS have offered encouragement for this course of- action. We are. open to almost any form of dialogue. We’d like to spell out the differences between some of the Free Chevron Staff and others on campus before the stu dents and let them make a decision”, said Thompson. The group is supporting the student newspaper referendum because, according to Thompson, “it is better than nothing, although we hope to use it as a starting point, rather than an end in itself

He said the group is hopeful that #the referendum might provide a strong indication of student preferences. Agreeing with the free chevron that the referen-‘ dum is not perfect, Thompson maintained that it wasn’t altogether bad either. He. said that if the referendum results are confusing or contradictory, then “we’ll have to call for another one. ” The future and actual power of the group is hard to determine. The leadership of the group, essentially Rorrison and Thompson at this point indicate that a nominating convention will be held “soon” in order to select a presidential candidate. They will not specify the number of councillors who are members although the number “nine” is tossed around. Given the average turnout at Student Council meetings, this would be an effective majority. It would seem that if they can pass their motion to allow one third of council to call meetings, the group should have a firm handle on the governing of the Federation. It is hard to predict exactly what changes might be seen in the Federation if the Reform Group’s bite proves as potent as its bark. The group maintains that decision-making is done at regular caucus meetings, where not only councillors, but other students who are members of the group participate. It is as yet, altogether unclear if the group will be able

14,1977

to maintain sufficient discipline within council to implement these caucus decisions. If they do succeed, Thompson feels there will be a curious and somewhat precedent-setting situation of party government in Fed. Council. But council elections are coming up at the end of February. If the Reform group can get a majority of its members elected then, and if it can also get a president elected from its own ranks on Feb. 2, they feel that a new era in Fed. ,government might be at hand. The idea of forming a political party within the Federation has been tossed around on numerous occasions said Thompson, but little has come of it. He said that while there might be a back-lash to this form of organization, he felt that this sort of strength and resolute purpose was needed in council if anything at all was to be done. It will be impossible to determine the full strength of this group, or its potential impact in the Federation until they are seen in action. What seems to be clear is that many of the most outspoken and potent of the current crop in Fed. Council are associating themselves with the group, and this in itself indicates that the Campus Reform Group might be more than mere noise. The success of the group in the long run says Thompson will be dependant on their success in bringing in new blood to the dwindling ranks of active Fed. .types.

Enf~rfuinmetlf Doug Antoine, Board of EnChairperson, antertainment nounced at his Monday night Board meeting that the biggest concert so far planned this year met a snag, when the group backed out of the engagement. Bruce Springsteen was to appear in the PAC in early February, until the promoters decided against it: “This is just another example of the luck we’ve been said Antoine, “for this year”, previous possible concerts this term, we’ve had trouble getting onen dates for the PAC; we could have lad the Styx s ho w this month, but the PAC schedule

just wouldn’t allbw it. This time it’s the group that has decided against it.” The trouble seems to lie in the fact that the promoters of the group don’t like the idea of having the UW wrestling team in the gym directly previous to the concert. “The original problem with the date”, said Antoine, “was the fact that the wrestling team had booked the gym for the time. When it was suggested that the date possibly be changed, the opponents, the Guelph team, were to be out of town that weekend, and it was imPossible to re-book the intra-

When Carl Totsky was approached with the suggestion that the wrestling match be moved one hour ahead, with the concert audience already there, he and the coach, Kurt Boese, were very receptive. I figured it would be a fantastic concert, since the students would probably have enjoyed a different twist to a ‘warm-up’ group. But the promoters contacted us this afternoon, just before the meeting, saying they wouldn’t go for it.” During the meeting, however, he did confirm the appearance later this term of Murray McLauchlin (Jan. 22), Bruce Cockburn (Mar. 21)) and Valdy (Mar.

After the end of classes the gang drove to Sayvette where’ the money was converted into 41 separate toys-aided by the ten percent discount that the Westmount Mall Sayvette extends to all students of the Universities. The items purchased - Barbie Dolls, Play-Doh, toy blocks, dolls, model kits, to name just a few - were then delivered to the MacDonald’s outlet on Highland road, from whence they were to be distributed by MacDonald’s and CHYM radio to needy children throughout the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Overall the group was surprised at the size of the contributions they collected from the two classes. “The Gambucci family wants to thank all the students and professors who gave so generously,” said Don Vito after the successful raids. “And without the patience and understanding of our professors the whole thing, which really came as a shock to them, would have fallen ’ flat. Both students and professors deserve our thanks.” - julian dust,

Then you were not present at their two raids into chemistry classes on December 8th, the last day of classes. I The nine chemistry students all wearing suits or blazers, ties and a few wearing dark glasses first arrived late in the class of Dr. Gerald Toogood. Dr. Toogood reacted with great calm to the gun-toting gang of Gambuccis, and, having finished writing out an equation for the magnetic moment (effective ) of Hexaquodiammonium disulfatocobalt (II) sat down. The leader of the group, a certain Don Vito (alias Rocky Gualtieri), gave a short speech and two of his “gunsels” collected donations from the captive chemistry class. In the process a semi-living hat, belonging to the infamous Gordon Knight, was shot with the toy weapons. The reaction of Dr. Toogood? He also dug into his pocket for the collection. The pattern was repeated in Organic chemistry 364. The gang filed in: Carlo, Julio, Aldo, Majore Pepino, Benzeno, Giovanni, Michaele, Lucrezia and Don Vito finally (alias: Brian MacFadden, Julian Dust, John Verwey, John Klie, Nelson Dyck, John Kranjc, Pam Sanders and Rocky Gualtieri and Alex ) . All stood until the Don had taken his seat. Again the Don addressed the baffled class, and again the hat was passed, and again the professor, Dr. D. , MacKay contributed to the cause. . When asked to comment on the purpose behind the “raids” answers ranged from: “We wanted to prove the moral superiority of chemists over-ah.

Harry, as played by Clint Eastwood, is a tough rule-bending cop in San Francisco who is constantly in trouble_ with his superiors with regard to his unorthodox methods of dealing with street crime.

And Harry, like the little-speaking old-west money snatcher, is 50 cool and collected in his killing; chasing, and lovemaking that he has become the idol of many North American males, as well as making Clint Eastwood a v,ery expensive actor. As for this “Enforcer” version being the dirtiest Harry, I’d have to disagree. More than anything, the viewer is given a__chance to see an almost human quality in Harry as he vows to capture the ex-Nam veteran who has just stabbed his partner in the back. When Harry is transferred to Personnel (from his street enforcing position) he questions his first future investigator, using very difficult real-life situations for her, since she (Tyne Daly) has never before made an arrest. Later, when Tyne Daly is made _ Harry’s new partner by a superior whose main interests seem to lie in making a good public image for the police, the two of them seem to get along well.

Rick Sandburg, Cambrian Colege student, presented Mr. Harry >arrott, Minister of Universities urd Colleges, with a petition con.aining 4000 names at the Decem)er 10 meeting of Ontario Stuient Presidents at Mr. Parrott’s office. Although the college itself has only “about’1400” students, Sandn.rrg explained that a committee ormed from a rally of over 500 students at the college solicited signatures from the City of Sudbury, where the institution is loFated. The reason Sandburg gave for he petition is to have Parrott’ Fxplain the reasons for the inrease, and why the Ministry isn’t listening, or doesn’t seem to be listening to the students of the Province of Ontario. “The government is attributing the hike to the rising cost of education”, said Sandburg, “but we think the McKeough-Henderson Report is mostly to blame.” The report, issued in November of 1975, called for an “astronomiCal” 65% fee hike, and was anon swered with demonstrations campuses right across the Province. Some of the report’s recommendations were recently .approved, including a freeze on graduate research funding. Sandburg feels that the recommendations of the report, if imwould limit educaplemented, tion to the upper strata of our society, because of the money in-

- Federation One of the Board of Communication’s main functions in the Federation of Students is “To Facilitate Communications within the Student Body”. To this end, the Board provides a range of services to aid campus organizations in letting students know what these groups are doing and what’s happening in general on campus. In the past, Communications has attempted to ferret out all the information on campus activities, and, for obvious reasons, this has not been a particularly effective process. The Board of Communications can most effectively operate when it is used strictly in a servi%e func-

is to inform students about the Board of Communications and its facilities and services, and to encourage students ‘to use the services of the Board. The prime goal of most student groups is to involve students in particular activities. All that the Board of Communications asks is that you let students know what’s happening so they can be involved. Using the services of the Board of Communications is one way of letting students know what’s happening oncampus. The Board of Communications provides five main services :.

The purpose of this form is to provide a standard form which can be used by student groups to let students know what these groups are doing. The front of the notice asks for all the information students would want to know about any activity planned by a student group.. The back of the notice has a distribution list. The Board of Communications distributes copies of the notice to the organizations which the group sponsoring the event has specified on the dis-

problems with the notice should be referred to the Board. The Board is interested in any suggestions concerning the notice since we want it to be as useful as possible.

This is essentially a poster distribution service under the jurisdiction of the Board of Communications. CID is only responsible for “Federation of Students” Bulletin boards, about sixty in all, and supplying the on-campus residences with event posters. It is the responsibility of the event organizer to supply the CID System with the proper amount of posters well in advance of the event date. The following points concerning the system’s requirements and operation should give the users sufficient knowledge of the system so that it can serve their advertising needs : 1) There are 60 boards: Eng I, II, III, IV, Lecture: Physics, Biology I, PAC, HH, Arts Lecture, ES, Arts Library, Psych ML, Health Services, Campus Centre and we mail posters out to Village I & II (Council and all Dons), all church colleges. \ Therefore, poster requirements are - minimum of 60 posters for boards only maximum of 200 for entiresystem. The boards have priority over mailouts. 2) Additional or left over posters will be posted again, at a later date, where they have been removed by students. 3) Posters ideally should be 8%” x 11” and delivered to’ the CID cupboard in the Federation Office at least one week prior to event date. 4) Posters are normally distributed on Mondays and Thursdays only, however emergency situations can be handled if advance notice is given of upcoming late delivery date. Event/Activity 5) An Notice (available in the Federation Office) is required to accompany tie ,posters so that the event information is available to the other services of the Board of Communications. 6) Any special posting distribution priorities where there are less than 60 posters should be specified on a note accompanying the posters. 7) There are centralized housing (needed and available) boards in the Campus Centre and this

be the best place to advertise your housing. Special posting forms are available from the turnkeys. 8) The major Federation boards have a small section entitled Sales, placement of personal sales ads will only be tolerated in this section of these boards. Also there is a board in the Campus Centre dedicated to sales. Special posting forms are available from the turnkeys. CID is intended to be flexible enough to handle your particular poster situation, however due to our resource constraints it is critical to have your posters “in on time” or notify us if it is to be an emergency rush situation. would

CAMPUS EVENTS CALENDAR (CEC)

For each month of the term, the Board tof Communications publishes a calendar which lists the events and activities occurring on each day of the month. The deadline for getting events into the calendar is the 20th day of the month preceding the month of the calendar. This gives the Board time to compile all the events and publish the calendar either in the student newspaper or as a poster. All events for which the Board has received an Event/Activity Notice are automatically included in the calendar so the best way to get activities into the calendar is to have your Event/Activity Notice in to the Board by the deadline date for the calendar. EVENTS

REGISTRY

The Board of Communications retains all the Event/Activity Notices and places them into an Events Registry kept in the Federation Office. ’ This registry is open to all student groups and it is hoped that you will make use of it when planning an event. Since all events that the Board is aware of are recorded in this registry, the registry can show which dates are open. Groups can use this information to schedule their events and thus hopefully prevent situations where students must choose .between events scheduled at the (Continued

Obviously it is to your advantage to consult the registry when choosing a date and also, that you get a notice into the registry once a date is chosen in order to preventscheduling of another event on the same date. The registry is available for your use, the Board maintains its own records, so get into the habit of using it, only the student can benefit. The ,Board of Communications uses the Registry to publicise what’s happening on campus in the Campus Events Calendar and on the Events Messenger Tape.

ADVERTISING FUNDS The Board has had a certain amount allocated to it to help groups advertise themselves and their activities. The Board will consider each application for funds individually. This service is primarily intended for student groups which have limited sources of income. The Board will also advise student groups on the best methods to advertise effectively and how to use University and Federation services to this end. - ian mcmillan

“I feel it is more important to take care of internal matters at this point, than to centre on the problems surrounding the Chevron affair. Hopefully, the referendum will solve all the questions”, said new President , Dave McLellan, this week. Some of the internal problems he listed were: preparation of the referendum and tallying of the results; the up-coming Presidential and Council elections: establishment of better communications with the Societies and Clubs ; the day-to-day business of the Federation; student problems that may come to our atten tion ; and the National and

Provincial issues of tuition increases and cutbacks. On the question of the Chevron affair, McLellan said, “It’s more important to find out what the students want at this stage. If the Chevron staff decides to refuse to accept the findings of the referendum, and feel they have to fight about, then I will definitely stick \ up for the students rights. “I expect to be in office only until February 2, when a new President is elected. I never campaigned for the position, nor even expected to ever be President, but I fully intend to do the job until an elected officer comes along.” - r.b’. burton

The meet was run with three events ; the downhill, slalom, and giant slalom. Waterloo did well in the slalom, placing six competitors in the top 25, in a field of 87. Chris Yeatman. was Waterloo’s top contender, with an llthplace finish. The Warriors did not fare as well in the other two events. Again, Yeatman finished as top UW competitor, with his 14th position overall. Gord Reese finished 18th. In the overall combined standings, Waterloo was fourth. This was the first time for the Waterloo skiers to compete together, in fact, the team was only picked two before the meet. Coach Mike Renaud was happy with his team’s performance, but feels that its output will be better in up-coming meets after the athletes get more skiing time. The team was selected on the basis of time trials on January 2, and consists of Chris Young, Jack. Spence, r,Dave Sudbury, Dave Monroe, Gord Reese, and Chris Yeatman.
