‘Are Frosh Competent?’
Students’ Council Asks
Freshman competent to sit

Alma Mater Society to select

Conspiracy to Perform
At Annual Frosh Bash
Weekend’s frosh activities begin tonight with the Frosh
Dance at 9 p.m. at the Esquimalt Sports Centre. San Francisco’s acid-rock band, thePeanutButter
Conspiracy, is
topping the bill. Victoria’s Blues X Five will also play. Dress
is informal to semi-formal.
A second dance is also being held this evening a t t h e
Purple Onion. Tickets f o rt h i sa r e
available intheSUB
office. Music is by the Pharaohs and dress is semi-formal.
Meanwhile, Uvic studentsare madly sharpening saws,
axes, nail files, and anything else with a cutting edge.
The reason for it all is the University’s annual log saw,
to be held Saturday afternoon at Clover Point.
Once again, more than athousandlumberjacksandjills
are expected to turn up to hack-perhaps even hew-at driftwood on the beach.
Many Victoria residents take the chance to
stock up on
firewood at a dollar a load. All proceeds go to the Community
Chest.
As the sungoes down, those tired woodsmen who still have
the energy will hobble to the Student Union Building for an
outdoor barbecue. At the spit will be Chancellor R. B. Wilson
and President Malcolm Taylor, backed by a squad of deputy
chefs from academic andadministrativeranks.
After supper and folksingers frosh and others will dance
to Victoria’sleadingbluesband,

Monday night’s affair proved that the former supposition
will be true again thisyear. As for news. . . we’re all waiting.
Despite a relatively good showing of councillorsand
observers the nearly three hour meeting was rather
a drag.
No major issues were discussed (although it is a bit early in

I’m quite confident,however,
thatafter
a month of

The Company of Young Canadians is certainly not the
most popular of government undertakings these days.
It has the honor of having been denounced in Parliament,
attacked in newspapers, and chased out of Inuvik. Whenever
ita director, Alan Clarke, is questioned about various
of his
Company’s failures, he brings forth answers to everything
and solutions to nothing.
T h e CYC has almost as many staff people as it hasvolunteers in the field. It‘s budget runs into the millions. It has
a higher desertion rate than. the South Vietnamese Army.
It’s Ottawa office seems to have the best-endowed and least
effective of anygovernmentbureaucracies.Itis
a very
strange organization.
It is also the only ultimately worthwhile thing the Federal Government has done since Hellyer started his program
to wreck our armed forces.
The philosophy of the CYC is that “decisions should be
made by the people who are going to be affected by them.”
If the Company isseriousaboutthis,and

Trouble from the power structures in the community and the

Therefore, to forestall the vast amount of hatred, insult,
red-baiting, witch-hunting and stupidity that

like to suggestthatAlanClarke

So the CBC wasted its talents, enough of ashame.Evenmore
unfortunate was that
the attention given to the jockeying for the leadership, the convention which didn’t
allow a
vote on the “deux nations” question, and its aftermath blanked out a much more significant
argument between Pierre Trudeau and Jean Lesage over the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in
the constitution.
