t

D;r't-n► :im gEver since jolly, fat, Bacchus discovered the spirits

derived from luscious green and blue grapes, the world

has been drowned in a sea of wine, scotch, whiskey, rum ,

gin, vodka, tequila, and various beverages concocted by

the ingenious mixing of this with that.

The happy old Greek unknowingly endowed humanity ,

—the masses, rather—with the past-time of social and

unsocial drinking . The habit of downing gallon-jugs o f

red wine was developed to the utmost in the times o f

Nero and that dear old lascivius dame, Cleopatra, report-

edly saw the bottom of many a wine-skin herself .

Of course in the good old days, drinking was only next

to sex in being the prime goal in every man 's and women ' s

life. Through the ,centuries, man has painstakingly fur-

thered this habit (drinking) until it has become an art

in itself . On the Continent, children are initiated into this

important phase of life at an early age; mostly after the

passing of their first decade, slut of course, the French

(rather fast in any subject) begin almost at birth . As a

result, adults develop with a mature outlook toward s

social and personal drinking.

We, as university students, have an iwiznature concept

of drinking!'

The drinkers on campus are either hypocrits or in-

f apts .

In Vancouver, and especially on campus, the enjoyabl e

past-time of drinking has been degraded into "drunking."

Who is responsible for this "Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde" at-

titude? Our upbringing and the whole outlook of Canadian s

in general is responsible. Sooner or later almost every

individual indulges in liquids with alcholic content . If

drinking were taught at home under parental supervision ,

not only would students (when they reach a temperance -

dominated plot of parking lots such as UBC) properly

enjoy drinking, but they would know how, when, what, an d

where to drink . The absence of an adult attitude towards

a bottle and its companion, the wine-glass, has resulted i n

a flood of "drunking" on the campus.

The past week's Football game, and Homecoming dance s

should adequately prove that point. Any possible normal

enjoyment of alcohol cannot be received if the "it 's-under-

the-table" practice prevails . You scream, "then why not

open drinking? " The answer is simple. Children—you

haven't grown up! The nightclubs, the downtown dances

the fraternity, parties, all stress—"the wet part—the bar. "

It seems that all the social events in a student's life are

dominated -by drinking, instead of drinking being partof the social events.

The establishing of open drinking on our campu s

would be a welcome change, but the administration woul d

not allow this until the students decided to face the prob-

lem and recognize their stupidity.

Why not more mature "drinking" and less immatur eadrtmking."

Athletic PhilosophyEditor,The Ubysey,Dear Sir :

Once more The Ubyssey ha sstarted the dismal ,round of ap-peals to an "apathetic studentbody" to get the students t oattend the football matches .The validity of this approachto University life had alway sintrigued me. Are we or ar ewe not attending a glorifiedhigh-school ?

The -purpose of athletics, Ihad always assumed, was toget people to play and partici-pate . This purpose should surely be of paramount importancein a university . No doubt i tbuilds up great "esprit decorps" to have several thous-and students watching a foot-ball game. But is it the kindof spirit we want ?

Year by year the Universityseems to be losing sight of itsgoal which is to become a"community of scholars ." Weare besieged by high school no-tions of education . Very rarelyis a student given the freedomto educate himself as hechooses . Does it further his in.tellectual development and in-dependence if he is in a crowdof students sitting in the sta-dium, drinking ;beer and shout -ing at appropriate moments ?

Perhaps this appeal can beexcused on the grounds thatthe football team is on the cam -pus for the express purpose o fentertaining- students—that isan odd purpose But perhapsthese students .are typicall ypassive members of a societywhich glorified "spectator"sports, eager to sink their ill-dividuality in a crowd .-If thi sis all we are supposed to be ,how dare we call ourselves . aUniversity?

Certainly the time has cometo reappraise our athletic pro -gramme but let's get the em-phasis in the right place . Uni-versity athletics wants play-ers, not spectators.

Yours truly,John Swan ,

Thought Banished ?Editor ,The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir ,

This in reply to Ron Hatc hwho says that :1. Thought is banished fro m

the university .2. Philosophy is now the stud y

of philosophic thinking .3. The philosophy department

has chosen the brightshin-ing path traversed by thesciences .

1. Since when does the philo-sophy department have th emarket cornered o nthought? Should one depart-ment of the university b edumb—are there not otherminds and voices which maymake gains in knowledge ?

2. "Philosophy" means th e"love of wisdom." If pastphilosophers have not bee naltogether wise, who i smore likely a candidate tocorrect them than philoso-phy itself ?

3. Who would be so foolishto deny that the scientifi cmethod is the best thus fa rdiscovered by which w ecome to a better understand-ing of the world? Modernphilosophy seems to consistmainly of either the scienceof logic or of linguistics—ie .

—in analysis. Philosophyhas been the disease ofwhich it should be the cure .When the operation hasproven successful, perhapsphilosophers will again dowhat Socrates said is "theprime object of the trulygood citizen—improve thei rfellow-citizens .

Jack Ornstein ,Arts IV .

No ForceEditor ,The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir ,

I was very interested to sec

Virginia Johnson, of the Schoo lof Physiotherapy and Occupa-

tional Therapy, Winnipeg, Man-

itoba, writing that compulsoryphysical exercise at University

was intended to "blow away

the cobwebs." This sort of ac -curacy and scientific expres-

sion confirms as in our opion ofphys . ed . majors and sociologi-cal practitioners .

"The human body," MissJohnson continues, "does notoutgrow the need for physical

exercise at high school level . "

How true! The human spirit ,however, does outgrow its de-sire for compulsion muc hearlier, and by the age o feighteen would generally —

with particular, immature ex-

ceptions — prefer to choosewhen, where, how, in whosecompany and in what unifor mit exercises its precious corpor-

analogy "All students enrolledeal province. Miss Johnson' sin the same English course usethe same text books", is imper-fect, because one attends aUniversity (as opposed to aYMCA or Physical Educationcollege) to exercise the mind ,under our present, overcrowdedsystem, a degree of regimenta-tion in the realm of texts i s

,unavoidable ; imperfect also be-cause one is not forced to buya text—one can borrow a book ,or even write the exam withouthaving looked at one. Manypeople here at UBC do that ,Miss Johnson, but that's an-other matter .

That which you call "mer ecompulsion", Miss Johnson, isof course acceptable to thosewho would in any case elect tobe a muddied oaf or flannelle dfool fambolling away his studytime. I can only wish that yoube merely compelled to takefour Creative Writing courses ,ma'am, before receiving what -ever kind of diploma it is youare lifting weights to earn .

Sincerely ,David Bromige ,

Matthews CriticizedEditor ,The Ubyssey,Dear Sir,

Mister Matthews t a'k ,e sstrange pleasure in insult .Thi sis his privilege. I would onl ysay that riot "participation "and `5unpayedictaibility" havealways been considered patentindications of immature over-emotional neurotic inadequa-Or .

ISC ChallengesEditor ,The Ubyssey,Dear Sir ,

Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye !Where as it is a well knownfact that the Student Council-lors are a bunch of milk sop sand whereas it is equally wel lknown that the IntellectualStunt Committee is the great-est, if not the newest organi-zation on this campus, we d ohereby challenge the StudentCouncil to a Boat Race, to beheld at the football game onSaturday afternoon .

I Want He rEditor,The Ubyssey,Dear Sir ,

I beg your indulgence inhelping me locate a particu-larly devastating young ladythat I have had my eye onsince the first day of school .She was the one who keptstepping on my already sorefeet during registration line-ups . She was the one who fellflat on her face during the in -door track meet and the onewho bopped me on the headwith her beer bottle at lastweeks' homecoming game . ButI still love her and want herto take me to Sadie Hawkin' sDay. Please, Mr. Editor,pleasehelp me find her before Nov .9-10 .

Caf CriticizedEditor ,The Ubyssey ,Dear Sir ,

What's wrong with th eBrock 'Coffee Shop staff? Sofar as I can see, (I have 20-2 0vision) these women are rudeand stand-offish !

Let me explain . This after -noon I purchased a glass ofmilk (I gave up their coffe eages ago!) . After I got to mytable, I found my glass wa sdirty on the inside . When I re-turned it to the counter, . I wasgiven a crisp "The counter i sclosed," and reieved of m yglass .

Surely I could expect a tleast a clean glass full of milk !—Or at least an apology !

Friendliness and cheerful-ness seem to be taboo withthese people. What's the mat-ter? Are they afraid to cracktheir make-up by smiling ?

Have other students notice dthese things too? Or do I jus tcatch them at their bad mo-ments?

SovietStudentSpeaks

OTTAWA (CUP)—Canada an dRussia should be friendly towar deach other despite the differ-ence in state structure betwee nthe two countries, the leader ofa Soviet delegation touring Can-ada said here .

Alexei Golubev told studen tleaders, educators and govern-ment officials at a banquet thatthere is a feeling among Sovietyouth leaders to establish thestrongest possible relations be-tween the two countries . ,

"We think you are aware o fthe peaceful co-existence bywhich the Soviet governmen tand the students abide, and i tis our policy to share this prac-tice," he said .

Prior to the banquet the fou rm e m b e r delegation visitedCarleton and Ottawa Universi-ties , starting off their cross-coun-try tour of 18 Canadian univer-sities from Halifax to Vancou-ver. Only four students came to 1

Canada instead of the fiveplanned. The other was taken illbefore leaving Moscow .

Besides 34-year-old Golube vwho is a member of the USSRStudents' Council, and a grad-uate of the Moscow Pedagocia lInstitute, the delegation in-cludes: Boris Ponomarev, 33 ,vice-secretary of the Youth Or-ganization Committee ; A 11 aTsutsa-ova, 25, of the Khrakov

•Medical Institute ; and Emmaouil Pubsters Retaliate;Equizarov,30, a post graduate at

nry fthe Moscow Foreign Languageinstitute, who is interpreter for •h r Cry tiredthe group. Miss Tsutsarova is thewoman in the delegation .

Although their theme waspeace and co-operation Golube vadmitted earlier in the day :

"In my opinion humanity wil leventually come to Commun-ism . "

"We don't want to impose ourtype of Communism, this wil lbe settled by the peoples them-selves in their own countries ;for now the main problem i speace," he said.

"We know the Canadian stu-dents are fighting for peace an dwould like to be friends withstudents throughout the world .We have many common inter-ests and hope to see the estab-lishment of friendly relations, "he said .

Every country has its short-comings he said, "but we havenot come here to look for thes eas arguments against capitalism .When we return we shall tell ou rstudents of the life here and o fthe moods and aspirations ofthe Canadian students ."

THE "POWER OF THE PRESS" was to be revealed through thi scaptive during half-time activities, yesterday . Unfortunatelythe prank was foiled when the captive escaped into th earm:. o ft' his "Red Hairy" allies .

Cafe Almost GetsLicense for Beer

By COLEMAN ROMALI SA student audience Thursday

noon narrowly defeated the mo-tion: "Resolved that the cafeteri ashould be licenced to serve beerand wine . "

Speaking for the affirmativein the debate, sponsored by theDebating Union, first year Art sstudent George Kyle said, "Igave up drinking around thre eyears ago, when I found I couldnot get into government estab-lishments, .and found the boot-leggers hesitant .

He said drinking in the cafe-teria would bring three advan-tages: stimulation of social ac-tivities, cultural inspirationthrough lessened inhibition andfinancial gain for the university .

Speaking against the resolu-tion, Bill McAuley termed th eproposal "preposterous and im-practical" and said the already:crowded cafeteria would leadto arguments and fights amotlgthe students.

In the discussion' from thefloor, C.W.J. Eliot, of the department of Classics, replied •toone of the debaters suggestion sthat students would find it easi-er to drink than to study Plato' sRepublic .

"I've read Plato's Republic inGreek, and it took a hell of a Iotof beer to do it," he said .

"I'm not advocating that youhave a beer parlour on campus ;I should like to suggest that webring the university closer t othe beer parlour ."

the North Brock basement .After eliciting a promise from

Mr. Tapet that he would goalong quietly, the pubsterswrapped him in Ubysseys andprepared to escort him to thegame .

SCIENCE

The trouble with experiment-al films is, like the troubl ewith Harry, that they are fleet-ing. I do not mean by that t osay that they are unimportant ,rout rather • that, due to thefilm maker's medium, and due ,too, to his own idea of `Art' ,they are-very difficult for th emovie-goer to take hold of ,they make it very difficult forthe viewer to grasp one ideabefore another is presented t ohim, and this, perhaps, to thedetriment of the film, and toits central idea, as a whole .This statement, of course, ap-plies in tote only to some ex-perimentals, particularly tothose produced when the infan tcinema was ceasing to be, asa whole, experimental, an d-was entering, very rapidly asit did, its phase of adolescence .

Successful experiment, ofcourse, demands experience ,and at the present time, thoseexperimental films which stif-fer most from inexperienceare those produced by eageryoung men who are so eagerprecisely because they lac kexperience. The same faultsthat beset the best of the earlyexperimentalists, 'working in a nunpracticed . field, still besetthe inexperienced modern . Thefaults are precisely those ofyouth—too much, on too big ascale, in too little time . Thepoor audience has to sit on itsvast, collective behind whileMetaphor after metaphor . isparaded before it, not' to theelucidation of , a single point ;but usually to the hopeless en-tanglement of many.

3F aF ~Of course, it doesn't succeed .

Were the work a novel or apoem that the reader might re-'fter to many times then itwould have a . chance of suc-cess; but the viewer is present-ed with each metaphor, and ,before he has a chance to re -late it to its proper image, itis gone, and another is present-ed and compels his attention,drawing him away from th efirst problem . No intellect ca ntake much of this schizophren -

is contortion in fleeting two-dimension, and the result is avast mental chaos . Nowadays ,and properly so, the audienceis outraged. There is- no longerany real excuse for this sortof thing. -There are many ex-.;perienced film makers quitecapable of teaching the would-be exponent of this art whathe should know of the ele-ments of viewer-viewee rap -port that ought, properly, tobe established every time afilm is shown .

All of which is to ,make apoint about Cocteau and hisLe Sang d'une Poete that hasnot, ' in the discussion of thefilm in these pages, yet beenmade. Cocteau was , a youngman, and his stuff was hot offthe fiery rocks of raw and un-disciplined experiment. In 1929and 1930 there was so much t otry that had not been triedthat it all poured out of th ebottle once the cork had bee npopped, and the liquid ran un-channelled, smoking in ever ydirection. Cocteau's first filmwas, indeed, a definite attemp tto give some direction, someform, to all that energy . True ,too, to the temper of genius ,Cocteau was stirred at thetime by beginnings of a meta-physical reflection that soonwas to engage Europe, andFrance especially, so complete-ly as to put aside, publicly atleast, any other' consideration .

These two things, or rather, :

one thing, the channeling of -aparticular energy; would seemto have been Cocteau's espe'e-

ial consideration . All else wa ssubordinated, in the film, tothis . But in avoiding the gen-eral error of unspecifity hefell into the particular error ofabstracting unspecifity by onedegree, and although he want-ed to make, and indeed, didmake, one point, he went at i tby means of the metaphortrick, and unhappily lost hisaudience.

All went well in the firstpart of the film, but the mo-

ment that the poet—and Ithink we must take the Jew tobe that, the symbol identifyin gboth types of isolation—plung-ed through abstraction intoself, Cocteau lost himself, andin so . doing hit out, like a .maninside a feather •pillow, inevery direction: That his aim ,in whatever direction, wastrue, . is an unavoidable con-clusion; it was so true that Coc-teau has had to return to thissame fountain again and again ,transferring whole scenes, almost unchanged to his late rfilms, especially to Les InfantsTerribles, made so many yearslater. But all at once, it wa stoo much . It was too coarse, itlacked that crystalline quality ,that process of distillation, thatonly mature genius can ac-quire .

3F ~ ~A good film? Yes. A bad

film? Yes. Cocteau knew, an dhad learned, a great deal, bu the had, in the natural cours eof events, to make many mis-takes that others might learn .Apparently he recognized ,even as the film was shooting ,where some of the errors lay ,and tried to cover them up .There is no other explanation ,for instance, for holding ont othe long series of key-hol eshots, the prying business, a slong as he did. But to try toexplain things to the audiencethis way is something that Coc-teau has .never again essayed .

Again, a good film and a ba done. Argument is useless . Thefilm was useful, not as an in-sight into Cocteau, but fo rwould-be film makers, and fo rthe general audience, as an in-structive curiosity . It is partof the history of film makingCocteau himself, no doubtabout it, learned much of whathe now knows from it .

C-H

and Farewell to Arms.-

An argument which has

spent a stormy adolescence on

this campus comes of age to -

day by appearing on the Cri-

tics' Page. My attention has

recently been drawn to a Mem -

orandum to Members of the

Council of the School of Phyci-

cal Education and Recreation

(18/10/60), and ,ce' etain part s

of this Memorandum raise th e

old question which forms our

title, Science or Faith . T h e

argument whose metaphorica l

twenty-first birthday this i s

would decide whether or no t

compulsory physical educationbe permitted at the university ;and from a Report on this con-troversial topic by a Commit-tee appointed in 1956 by Pres-ident Mackenzie, I pluck thi sexcerpt, which may shake t otheir foundations those whountil today had thought t h euniversity a rational organiza-tion resting on a broad base ofscientific humanitarianism.

The potential benefits . tobe derived from a programof physical education suchas is presently in use at thisUniversity are exceedinglyhard to demonstrate on anobjective or quantitative bas-is . Nevertheless, we do be-lieve that students who _participate in such a pro-gramme are benefited.

BELIEF AND FAITH arenot synonomous ; Webster de-fines faith as blind belief ; andthe belief of this committeemay fairly be called blind, un-supported as it is by any ob-jective evidence . Who are thesefaithful ?

The report of 1956 was drawnup by 'Professor Brown, Dr. D .Copp, Miss L . Horwood, Miss1V) . Fallis, Dean W . Gage, DeanH. Gunning, Miss M . Leem-ing, Dean - `Seward, Dr. A .Young, and Professor R . F . Os -borne. The committee appoint-ed in June of 1957 to revie wthe findings of the first com-mittee; the committee whichhas accepted the first repor twithout question—for, if ques-tion there was, no mention i smade of it in last week's bul-letin, nor has the programm ebeen changed in any way —was composed of the followingadministrators :

Dean Matthews, Dean Gage ,The Hon. J . V. Clyne, Dr . H.V. Warren, Dr. R. D James ,Dean S Chant, Dr. MalcolmMcGregor, Dr. James Mather ,'Mr . R. F. Osborne, Miss M . Fal-lis, Dean H. C . Gunning, TheHon. Mr. Justice A E. Lord ,and Dean G. Curtis.

These are the committeemembers who, 'without demon-strable evidence, are preparedto continue the present syste mof Compulsory Physical edu-cation because they believe orare willing to accept the belie fof others that the programme

is beneficial . It is not my wistto discredit faith; none coul coperate without it ; but I doub tif one ought to legislate foiothers on t h e basis of fait 'alone. Reason must endeavourto stand alone and guide em otion and intuition; or scthought John Milton, and Iminute, can only agree. It isparticularly surprising to seethe names of two Justices antthe Dean of the Law Schoo lamong these thirteen; woulcthey administer civic justic ewith such insouciant disregarcfor the lays of evidence? An cDr. McGregor a classicistshould not let any desire tcrevive the Golden Mean interfere with the inductive method. Would Dr. Warren draughta map by faith alone? '0 1Dr. James approach his fieldmathematics, or Dean Mat.thews his field, science, withsuch a disregard for em-pirical evidence? I find no t h e -o l o g u e s on the list, no twenti -eth century witch-d o c t o r ewhose daily occupation withmumbo-jumbo might" Well beresponsible for such a decision:how could this committee - haveaccepted a report which de-cides that a compulsory phy-s i c a l education programme"does aid in enriching the lifeof the University" when t h eresults are "exceedingly hard "to demonstrate? "Exceedinglyhard," by the way, would a ppear to be a euphemism mean-ing "impossible," for no evi-dence is tabulated. And the useof euphemistic language woul dsuggest that a point is havingto be made in the face of-evi-dence; for it is an emotionalloading of the argument .

WHAT THE REASONS are ,and reasons there must be, forthis determination to see twoyears of compulsion in thephysical activities field .:coiltinued I do not know. 0 ti efaculty member suggested t cme that Canadian youth wereafter all fortunate : Canada be-ing the only Western democ-racy" which does not havecompulsory military service .We should count ourselveslucky, this learned man con-tinued, to have only two hoursbowling or badminton a week ,I cannot see his point; it ismuch like saying that measlesare better than cancer .

The pragmatic aspect mus tnot be forgotten, of course ,and, if the present programm ewere to be discontinued, manyphys . ed . instructors, fine me ndoing well the thing they dc

best, would be thrown out ofwork. A pragmatic solutionmight well allow them to sta ymight well be to allow them tcstay on at university, and tcpay them as much to practicetheir skills with one another aswe pay them now to teach . . l

—DAVID BROMIGE

The magnificent David hav-ing outlined the logical objec-tions, which of course are su-premely legitimate, it is nown::y happy lot to present th eless legitimate and more cru-cial objections .

My only quarrel with Bro-mige's formulation of the ar-gument is that he ascribes tothe committee an ability tothink logically which is palpab-ly not theirs . After all, theyare for the major part admini-strators and not scholars an dwill consequently have lai daside scientific method i nfavor of : a subtle and volup-tuous opportunism, fatty de -generation of the will to live ,massive herpes zoster, tota locclusion of the sensibilities ,Old Testamentitis, anti-Ro ethkeism, anti-Patchenitis, pro-Tchaikovsky tendencies, mewk-ing spaz, reins-seizure complex,Lautris syndrome, Graueritis ,Mortimer's disease, desire forunlimited stodge, Romanism ,capitulation to Social Credit ,anti-asceticism, rampant Boos-terism, revolving gluttony, andopen hatred of fin de siecle .

SPO TLIGIITBy CHRIS FAHRN I

Rowers have become a sort of myth around this campus—visualized as tall, muscular men with Spartan constitution ,fabulously conditioned, with plenty of old-fashioned guts (mos tof which is true) but also the sort of weak brain that woul dprompt a guy to keep a date with a wooden oar at 5 :30 ona rainy Sunday morning.

Why does a guy row anyway? What's the percentage in

pouring your guts out over the end of an oar? What are theserowers—masochists or something ?

Ask a rower—he probably couldn't give a definite reason .He might laugh it off, or mention teamwork, or Henley, orgetting in shape, but Hell, he's there because he likes it . He likesit .

It wouldn't be worth all the hours and sweat just for anoutside chance of going to Japan in '64 . You can enjoy teamworkplaying volleyball two noonhours a week in the gym, and ther eare easier ways to get in shape .

Face it, Mac, you like it. In fact, you must love it, or youwouldn't be doing it . Besides, it's bloody good fun .

It's a great feeling to be pulling your Sweep in harmony withthe rest of the crew ; Eight men becoming one as they stroke . . - .together now, in . . . out ; eight blades breaking the water simt}1 -taneously .

It's a great feeling to be pulling your oar for all you 'rebloody well worth, with your legs tight, and the sweat runnin gdown into your eyes, you can't do a bloody thing about it becauseyou're too busy having fun pulling your bloody oar .

You feel good when you're slugging the training barge alongthe Vancouver waterfront in the dark, moving among the boats ,with the orange and yellow city lights like a big neon signsaying "come on and row, you slack bastards" and the wavesgoing wump, wump, wump on the hull, and the big goldpiece of

! a moon waiting like a prize up the inlet . . .There's nothing like racing the other boat in, seeing, in

turn, out of the corner of your eye the red and green of th egas floats, the silver shed, the pilings, and then giving it hell inthe last Sig Ten, and slumping over your oar, then looking lipand seeing yo u 've won, and feeling sucked out yet whole, as thoughthis rowing was a sort of catharsis .

It's satisfying to know that you can pull your oar wit hanybody.

It's a great feeling to be rowing in the rain when you're 'soaked and you look at the next guy, red-faced and drippingrain off his nose, and you think of the loungers drinking coffeein Brock Hall, and you laugh .

It's a great feeling but you .won't understand it unless you've

rowed.

ASSEMBLY(continued from page 6 )

representative assembly whichwas rejected by the two subse-quent reports .

All thought a stronger US Cwas desirable but only. the Has-kin's report thought constitu-tional change was necessary toachieve this. Al thought Coun-cil needed revision and a lighterload but only the Haskin's re- -port proposed any substantialchanges to effect this .

To summarize the change sthat have taken place duringthe last five years to effect im-proved students government :

The Fall General Meeting ha sbeen abolished, the finances ofthe AMS have been overhauledand the present system of bud-get passage set up .

Leadership Conference, FreshRetreat, Executive Training Pro-gram, Academic Symposiumand the referendum system hav ebeen initiated . Co-ordinator o fPublications and the Executiv eMember have been added toCouncil (the latter was originally%fended to act as a second vice-president and thus ease the loadof the president, but it has ap-parently not worked out thatway) . Replacement of the Sprin gGeneral Meeting by any othertype of body has been rejecte dfor the present. In the formatio nof USAC a definite start ha sbeen made to ease the admini-strative load on Council and t orevise Council itself .

In view of the above facts andsteady expansion of student acti-vities I contend that this studen tbody is making steady and well-deliberated progress towards agovernment that will functio nwell when there are 15,000- 120,000 students, that no studen tbody - was either apathetic orwhose government was in dan-ger of collapse could have made jsuch careful progress . We haveproblems, but we- are findingways to cope the trust and re-sponsibility we have been given .
