Students of the University of
Victoria’s new School of Graduate Studiesareattemptingto
forman autonomous Graduate
Student Society.
A mapority of the new graduate students are in favour of a
completely autonomous graduate organization.Theysee
no
advantageeithertothemselves
or tothe Alma MaterSociety
if theundergraduateStudent’s
Council handles the affairs of a
growing graduate student body.
The complexities of graduate
students’ problems andresponsibilities, their need for close
communications w i t h faculty
members
and
their different
social and athletic activities are
ci t ed
by representatives as
r e a s o n s for an autonomous
society.
Graduates also fear that underthe
AMS they could not
provide leadership orcontrasting views, and rather than having a positive and independent
voice
in
student
affairs
they
would be forcedtoremaina
“mute and ineffective minority.”
Students’ Council,
however,
feels that the graduates should
remainmembers
of the Alma
Mater Society.
Underthe Council plan, the
graduate organization w o u 1 d
hold a position similarto that
of the EducationUndergraduates’ Society, which is approximately that of an independent
associate member. Just as the
EUS is autonomous in its deal-.
jngs with the Education faculty
~n matters solely
concerning
Education s t u d e n t s , so the
graduate organization wouldbe
free to dealwithfacultyand
administration in matters relating to graduate students.
Students’ Council feels that in
order to present a strong voice
in discussions with the administration on items concernillg the
generalstudent body, it should
continue t o representallstudents on campus.
Theissue is to be presented
t o a University Senate Committee on September fourteenth, at
which timea
decision will be
made.

James Meredith will headline
the speakers on the University
of Victoria campus during Frosh
Week and Frosh Week Plus
One.
This is thefirsttime
Mr.
Meredith has been billed for an
appearanceinCanada,
and in
the words of Gordon Pollard,
President of the Political ScienceForm
- “a tremendous
coup” for the University.
James Meredith first gained
international prominence in1962
when, after a longandbitter
struggle,he . became thefirst
Negro to be enrolled at the
University of Mississippi. He
maintained t h i s prominence
during his studies at the University in remaining there
despite unrelenting opposition from
w hi t esegregationists.He
e v e n t u a l l y climaxed this
achievement by
becoming
its
first Negro graduate.
This
year
he
again
made
world headlines when,
while
making a walk through
the
state of Mississippi to demonstratethat
Negros couldnow
register for voting
safely
in
that state,hewasshot
in the
back.
Mr. Meredith willbe speaking on Tuesday, September 20th
a t 8 p.m. in the GordonHead
Gymnasium. The title of his
address will be “The Struggle
for Equality.”
The Tuesday nightprogram
promises to be one of the best
ever seen at this university. Jim
Johnson andHarry Aoki, both
ofwhom haveonprevious
occasions played to unusually enthusiastic
Victoria
audiences,
willlead off the program with
a n hour-longconcert
of folk
music. Boththeseperformers,
incidentally, are firmly committed to the Civil Rights MovementsinNorth
America.
And the best news for students is yet to come: the price
for this tremendous package
will be only a paltry fifty cents.
Admission for non-students will
be one dollar.
The second headline event of
Frosh weeks will be the appearance of Laurier La Pierre in the
SUB h u n g e a t 12:30 p.m. on
September 23. The name of
Mr. La Pierre will certainly be
familiar to all students. He
first became a national figure as
co-host of the tremendously
popular CBC progray, “This
Hour Has Seven Days.
Mr. La Pierre is a prominent
authorityonbothFrench
CanadianNationalismand
the dissention
within
the Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation.
A s p e a k e r of tremendous
charm and wit, he will, besidea
addressingthestudents
of the
University,
have
the enviable
job of presenting
the
F’rosh
Queen candidates.
Top flight musical entertainmenthas also been la on for
the first week of
On
Monday, September 19 at‘12:30
p.m., the TomNorthcottTrio
from Vancouver w i 11 give a
folk-rock performance from the
roof of the SUB. A similar
concert was given last year just
prior to exams
and,
despite
studying
pressures,
i t was a
great success. Northcott is by
far and away the most popular
local. talent in Vancouver and if
previous records speak at all,
his performance should be well
worth seeing.
&
ForThursday the Activities
Council has obtained a group
which will be a change of pace
from the hard, driving rock of
the Northcott Trio. The flavour
will be jazz, cool and smooth,
coming from Derenson St. Clair.
This excellent jazz combo will
present a concert at noon in the
SUB Lounge.

Carpenter Lockout.
Creates Chaos
w. .“
By ELIZABETHHOLDEN
Lockout or no lockout, classes
will be concentrated at the Gordon Head campus this term.
Forthepastyear
two new
buildingshave been risingout
of the muddy fields across Finnerty Road fromtheLibrary.
Earlythisspring
concrete
a
walkbegantocreepacross
to
join themwith the older complex. Schedules were drawn up,
takingthe new classroomand
officespaceinto
account. The
buildings on the Lansdowne
Campuswere put on the block
and now the University is committed to abandon the old camthe
puy. It s e e m e d that
Unwersity of Victoria would at
last be united
into
a single
campus.
Then all work
ceased.
The
buildings fell silent and cement
remainedunpoured. The Amalgamated Construction Association of British Columbia had
locked thecarpenters off their
jobs because of union demands.
Thestrikestillcontinueswith
little hope for anearlysettlement in sight.
The SocialSciences iswithin
a week of completion, but can
be used despitemissingtiles,
unpainted walls and other minor
lnconvemences. The
Arts
and
Education complex cannot be
finished before late November,
and in theinterimthe
specialized facilities that this building
wasto provide will be lost t o
the students until such time
as
the buildingcan
be occupied.
Even the cement Quadrangle
cannot be completed
because
there are no carpenters to make
the forms.
Butunited we shall be. All
the huts have been pressed into
service to hold the classes left
homeless by the lockout.
An
asphalt walk will be installed
fromthe
finished
end
of the
quadrangletothe
Social
Sciences building to keep our feet
dryandthe
mud at bayuntil
workrecommences.
A few offices, notable Dr. Taylor’s must
remain at the old campus to be
sure, but for the most part the
Gordon Head
buildings
will
suffice.

As I Set It
by MOUNTEBANK
Did you realize that there are
some 1800 frosh at the Univer,
sity of Victoria thisyear and
only 1700 upper classmen ?
Thismeans
that more than
5470 of the students are frosh;
if not a large majority, a t least
a majority.Withthese
statistics in mind we would normally
expect that
the
STUDENTS
Council w o u 1 d be comprised
largely of Frosh, contrary to so
called democraticmethods this
is not the case.
The
present
student
representativegovernment
(i.e. the
A.M.S. Council) consists of our
Grad Classmen, two juniors and
twosophomores.However,
this
fall,fourother
posts will be
filled. Nevertheless, only
two
will be filled by Frosh, !he first
year men’s representatwe and
the first year women’s representative.

highlights of the first week of

Seminars. They will beheldon
the evenings of September 26,
27, 28, and 30, intheStudent
Union
Building.
On these OCcasions you will be able to participate in small, informal,
coffee-type discussion groups.
This setting, it is hoped, will
dispel1 thefreshmanmisapprehension that all faculty members
and
upperclassmen
are
caustic clowns or
intellectual
ogres. With representation from
allparties concerned, the conversation will be varied, if not
erudite;theatmospheretolerant, if not downright friendly;
and the coffee free, if not always drinkable. There willbe
go better opportunity for overcoming your fears of approaching the establishment.
Each evening, guests will 85semble in theupper lounge of
the SUB. There, keynote speakers will engageinwhatcan

gymnastics. Following this keynoteaddress,students
willbe
arbitrarily assigned to small
seminar groups with the view in
mind of discussing whathas
come before, and verhaps what
isto
come intheuniversity
year.
The duration of these discussionsand the topics to be discussed will be determined by the
members of each group. Upperyear students will act as moderators and faculty members will
be present for consultationor
to spark conversation. Butthe
onus for the success of the discussion rests with the individual
students.

This year something new has
been added tocampus life. The
University of Victoria now has
a program of Intramurals designed to give the average studenta
chance to compete in
sports. As a matter of fact,
only the average student is
eligible; athletes on v a r s i t y
teams or those wearing letters
can not compete in that sport
intramurally. So now is your
chance to get experience in the
port yodve always wanted to
try, be it judo, skiin fencing,
or ice h o c k ey .
total of
twenty s p o r t s are offered,
spread i n t o overlapping
six
f
week playing blocks throughout the university year.
The basic philosophy behind
theprogram of Intramurals is
that participation is as import,
ant, if not more so, than skill.
Theemphasis is placed on enjoyment of the game. Under the
new point system, points will be
allotted for participation as well
as for winning.
Thereare
six divisions. t o
which all students are assigned
according to the first letters of
their surnames. Each division
will elect a Chairman at the
General M e e t i n g s , Thursday,
Sept. 29, who will be respons-
ible for fielding the division
t e a m s for play.
Note that it is "teams" because of the emphasis on
entry, each division forms as
many teams as possible for each
sport. These teamsare registered with the IntramuralCouncil andorganized into a timetableto be played duringthe
six weeks allotted to that sport.
You will have received your
Intra-mural Handbook containing the timetable of sports and
an explanation of the program
so let's get out and make Intramurals a success from the start.

STUDENT HANDBOOK
President’s Message
The information in this Handbook outlines theoperations of
the Alma Mater Society; its
activities, organizations, and resources.
What I would like to discuss
are
the
purposes of student
unionism, andtoexplorethe
philosophy behind thegrowing
interest of the Canadian student in the affairs of the “real
world” about him.
Theuniversity studenttoday
is demanding his rights to a full
citizenship,not“citizenship”
in
the narrow sense of unquestionni g obedience or uncritieal
docility, but in the widest possible sense of the term-as an
unendingevaluation
andanalysis of &he society in which he
must exist. Students are rapidly
youth,
learning toapplytheir
the
intellect, and energy to
problems of society outside the
university. It isnothingless
than the transformation of the
“silent
generation”
from
the
“Era of the.Beatniks” tothe
“Era of the Committed,” and
somewhere alongthewaythe
lmiversities are being lifted out
,f thedepths of academic irrelevance. A university education implies theimmediatereaponsibility of students t o better
themselves and an ultimate responsibility to improve t h e
society in which they live.
“
“
Student government has many
functions, and one of the key
reasons for its existance is the
opportunity it provides for democratic
self-government
yb
studentsand experiencegained
by students in taking
responsibilityfor
o r g a n i z i n g and
governingtheir own activities.
Such projects as planning a new
Gtudent Union Building, con&rz&ing iwreard,- surveys into
education problems, or participating in the everydayprocesses
of decision-making - all these
factors are vital if the student
is to shoulder the responsibilities he has claimed.
But at this point the purpose
of s t u d e n t government can
either be utilized or diverted.
Forstudentleadersmust
constantly resist the temptation to
play the role of student bureaucrat, andleave it at that. As
students we have considerable
autonomy, and we must not shy
awayfromthereallyvital
issues because we fear the occasional mistake.
The Alma Mater Society is
not, by any
stretch
of the
imagination, a completely efficient organization, nor should it
be if we have to sacrifice enthusiasm
and
informality
to
achieve efficiency. I t has traditionally been one of the most
powerful and influential student
societies in Canada, but that influence has
always
relied on
large-scale
on-campus
support
andinterestratherthan
size.
Last year the student-organized
campaignfor “educational Opportunity” received its. highest
degree of support on this campus. Itissomethingthat
we
as students of the University of
Victoriashould be proud oi, as
a worthwhile a l t e r n a t i v et o
“sand-box politics.” It is a field
that will be stressedthisyear
as we workfor a Student Aid
Plan that will rely on “Achievement
Grants”
and
“Equalization
Grants”
for
out-of-town
students.
Much of our energies in 19661967 are aimed at obliterating
the artificial distinction between
the academic and extra-cumcular sides of university life. The
Academic Symposia, the speakers
program,
the
expanded
programmes in Indian Affairsand
Education - all these will mark
anefforttorevitalizethe
academic and cultural activities of
the Society. This effort wil!

The StudentUnion Building is home-thatisallyou

eat, sleep, work, cavort, gambol, or what
have you, within the sanctity of its walls. And why not! It
is theonly t h n g on campus which is completely operated by
the AMs.

TheSUB is already too small forthe number of students
who use it, (as you
will
no
doubtdiscover),and
plans for
expansion are well underway. It is becoming increasingly
importantthat everyone's left hand should know whatevery.
one else's right hand is doing; therefore reservations for use of
the building should be made well in advance of the desired
date.
A n attempt should also be made to keep your garbage off
the floor andinthe
receptacles, for the sake of the building,
andthe sanity of our very good janitorial staff.
Any questions regarding use of the building should be
directed to either Mr. Chudley or Mr. London.

AMs CARDS
Your AMs card is your most important possession as a
member
of
the University, both academically and socially. It
is neccessary to present this card as identification for admission
to all AMS functions such as dances and elections, and to final
and Christmas examinations. Books cannot be borrowed from
theMcPherson Library withouttheAMS
card andattached
library plate.
Early inthe fall term theAMS card, which is received at
Registration, should be taken tothe Circulation Desk of the
library to have a metal library plate attached.
Should a card be misplaced or lost, application should be
made immediately to the Student Union
Building general office
for a replacement. There will be a charge of $1 to replace a
lost card.
CANADIANUNION OFSTUDENTS
Membership intheCanadianUnion
of Students is another
benefit obtained from your $30 A M s fee. Most of Canada's
universities and technical schools are members oftheUnion;
atits yearly conference, delegates from these schools meet to
discuss and set policy. This policyis
carried out by a permanent national Secretariat located inOttawa,
in conjuction
with the member Unions, of which your AMS is one. Through
this secretariat we maintain a full+time lobby on Parliament Hill
and work to achieve our olicics.
CUSS major aim has !,en
to increase the accessibility to
posbsecondary education ; inthis regard, CUS can claim rw.
ponsibility for having made tuition fees tuedeductable, and has
also played a major role increating increased financial aid to
students. In particular, pressure by the W : S Secretariat was
largely responsible fortheintroduction
of theCanadaStudent
Loan Plan. CUS also provides a number of services to individe
ual students, such as its low.cost lifeinsurance
plan, group
travel plans, andits
intereregional student exchange scholarships.
On this campus, CUS rovides lifeinsurance,travel inform.
ation,and scholarships. TEese awards supply winners with fees

condition that the student return t o his "home university", they
are generally awarded to first and second year students.CUSsponsored seminars andstudygroups serve to informstudents
hereabout developments in the student community across Cane
ada, andthrough CUS's association with theInternationalStu,
dent Conference, inthe world.
CUS believes inautonomousstudent
government andthe
University of Victoria has traditionally been aleading force in
the "activist" element of the organization. T o this end Vice
toria's student leaders have had much influenceinthefight
against paternalism and
student
apathy.
CUS
believes that
thestudent does not come to a university to purchase a come
modity (education)butthat
he has a role to play inthe
development of the university.
Studentsare needed fortheIndianAffairs
Committee, the
High School Visitation Committee, and
Student
Leader's
Seminar. Delegates to various seminars and conferences will
also be needed. For information about any of CUS's committees
and services on campus, contact Brian Smith, CUSChairman,

of $100,000. T o reinforcethe formal structure of theAMS
and t o define its legal statusbeforethe

a form resembling that of a corporation, in which the

the AMs.
Members of Students' Council are elected each spring by
secret ballot of theAMs.Theirterm
of office runsfrom
March 15 of one year toMarch 17 of the next. This does
notincludethe
positions of FirstYear Men's Representative,
