Tuesday,
ARTS CONSTITUENCY
John Clarke
When deciding how to vote in a
Student Council election, there are a
number of factors to be kept in mind.
Chief among these is the candidate’s
past record, not only in Student Gov-
ernment, but also in other fields of
endeavour. I, John Clarke, have par-
ticiptaed in Student Council for one
year and the Arts Society for two
years. Other extra-curricular activi-
ties in which I have taken part are:
O.R.C.U.C. Committee, which has
been part of the Board of External
Relations this year, and Varsity foot-
ball. Various projects which I have
undertaken personally this year: in
connection with the Board of Exter-
nal Relations are: C.U.S. travel ar-
rangements; Student Discount Service
(also a C.U.S. project), which pro-
vides a discount of 5%% to 20% at
many local stores; and last, but cer-
tainly not least, the Canada Student
Means Survey, the full import of
which cannot be known until all data
is computed.
Council accomplished a good deal
this year - notably the new consti-
tution. There is, however, a drastic
lack of communication between coun-
cil and the students, which I hope to
correct by better publicity of not only
Council business, but also student
Activities in general. I shall urge
Council to give its fullest support to
the O.R.C.U.S., an organization which
has the potential to save the students
of Ontario considerable money be-
cause of its lobbying power at Queen’s
Park. Therefore, because .of an ex-
cellent record of past service and
sound proposals for the future, I hope
you will’vote for John Clarke as Arts
Representative.

Although my experience on Student
Council as St. Paul’s College Repre-
sentative in the past three months has
been limited, it has been sufficient to
acquaint me with the way Student
Council has operated and to suggest
to me tvays that it could be improved.
A great step forward should be taken
next year with the increased number
of Council members. The duties of
Council will be assigned to a greater
number of people, easing the strain
on the few who have carried the load
in the past.
Council committees be composed
of students of different years so ex-
perienced people will be available to
head these committees in the future.
It only st’ands to reason that the best
management of funds, planning of
activities, and representation of our
university in external affairs can be
realized when experienced people are
in charge. But a look at the list of
candidates for Arts representative
shows that most of us are relatively
experienced.
This to me is an indication of one
of the major problems in the Arts
faculty. Apathy is prevalent and com-
munication non-existent.
Arts students should be the leaders
on this campus. They are at other
universities. Here they take a back
seat. The prevalence of candidates
from Year I is an indication of a
change in attitude and a greater con-

I consider the candidate for student
council to be in no position to set up
his own platform. Nevertheless, he
should have some ideas to contribute
to the council as a whole.
I think the council should take
definite action to help strengthen fa-
culty councils. The council members
could then work through these sub-
ordinate councils to reach the stu-
dents. As this university grows and
establishes more faculties, the in-
dividual will demand strong ties with
his particular faculty to gain a sense
of belonging. If each faculty was
responsible for some entertainment
or social highlight, or project, student
participation would be encouraged
from that particular faculty, yet the
event could serve the entire student
body.
Because of the problem of com-
munication those who are eager and
capable of fulfilling positions are dis-
couraged. This is due to the fact that
many are unfamiliar with organiza-
tions on campus. Student council

On February 24, 1965, we, the stu-
dents of Waterloo, cast our ballots
electing a new president. In doing so
we have already committed ourselves
to one of two major platforms offer-
ed. The council representatives should
work to support the established con-
stitution and program and to ensure
the expression of student opinion.
To overcome such queries as “what
does council do for me?” an efficient
communications system must be esta-
blished between the council executive
and the students. While the students
must display some interest themselves,
council representatives
sponsible for keeping students
should be re-
formed of the details of council’s
work.
Because of this lack of communi-
cation at Waterloo, many organiza-
tions have suffered. I am interested
in promoting such organizations
WUS and ORCUS.
However, I feel that our efforts
should first be directed towards esta-
blishing strong roots from which
Waterloo may grow. This involves
both internal and external matters.
Closer co-ordination between the vari-
ous colleges and faculties under the
student council would provide unity
and coherence. Added to strong in-
ternal relations, inter-collegiate
operation in athletic, social, and cul-
tural areas would establish for Water-
loo a sense of identity. Yet none of
this can be achieved until every stu-
dent is made aware of the problem
we face. It is towards this end that
council representatives must work.
tern about Student Council affairs.
The matter of communication in
the faculty is a problem, but one
which should be considered and
eventually solved. The five representa-
tives who will be elected should make
an attempt to alleviate this condition.
If the issues which concern him con-
cern you, I would ask you to vote

members should inform their respec-
tive faculties about what is being
done on their behalf and what is to
be done by them.
I feel the members of student
council should assume the responsi-
bility of putting to use all the able
people that are available, so that more
is heard about the accomplishments
of Waterloo than the< lack of enthusi-
asm and participation.
In addition, I am particularly inter-
ested in promoting activities on cam-
pus as well as inter-university organi-
zations.
Ginny lee
Student Council serves many pur-
poses, the most important of which
is the representation of the students;
and each faculty selects representa-
tives for just this purpose. Neverthe-
less, a member of Council should
never, I repeat, never, be expected to
?ct against his own conscience and
integrity, regardless of whether or
not his position will be appreciated.
I feel strongly that Student Coun-
cil should have complete authority
over any college or faculty govern-
ment, except in isolated cases, in
order to further coordinate university
affairs and promote a feeling of unity
among the student body as a whole.
Spirit may run high in the separate
colleges, but this is qeaningless when
one views the complete situation; for
if the main nerve of the hand is par-
alyzed; five healthy ‘fingers are not

Jeff Evans
Next Tuesday, I ask those of you
in Science to vote for Jeff Evans for
your Student Council rep. Since I
as have asked for your vote, you might
ask about my experience on campus
and about what I think Council
should do.
One of the main issues on campus
this year is the continued existence of
the Arts and Science Society Councils.
From my experience on Science
Society, I feel that not only should
co- these Societies be preserved because
of their potential value as a system
of communication, but they should
also be rendered more effective. Arts
and Science Society reps must help
Council out by keeping their ~classes
informed of and interested in what
Student Council is doing. In addition,
Council’s work could be scrutinized
so that some of its present responsi-
bilities could be transferred to the
Societies. This would take a load off
Council and also give the Societies
something meaningful to do.
In the realm of External Relations,
I believe Council should continue its

I am a second year student running
for the position of Arts Faculty Re-
presentative on Student Council 1965-
1966. I am not seeking this position
from purely altruistic motives, but
rather would like the experience
which may be gained from such a
position. However, as your repre-
sentative I shall bear in mind at all
times that I am representing the stu-
dents of this faculty. I shall make
one promise only, that being to ex-
press your wishes on council. I ‘have
gained a great deal of experience as
a member of the university debate
team, and as a part of the Coryphaeus
staff, and as a result feel very capable
of doing this. To promise more would
be to assume powers beyond those of
my office, but in promising this I
wlil do my best to see your wishes
implemented.
erly if there are none interested
enough to contribute their time and
energy to help it accomplish its pur-
pose. There ,is nothing that can come
of apathetic students but an apathetic
council.
This is why I believe that although
previous experience is helpful, it is
enthusiasm and honest interest that
really make the difference I have, up
to this point, had no contact with
Student Council, but I did serve in
high school in student Parliament.,
thereby gaining both a knowledge of,
and a sincere interest in, and aims
and problems of a student governing
body.
I can promise to do no more than
as a representative of the
students in general, and the Arts stu-
dents in particular.
Anita Bugara
As a candidate for Science Repre-
sentative on the Student Council, I
believe that the first dut; of such an
office is to understand and make
known the viewpoints of fellow
Science students. All activities and
organizations undertaken by Science
students must merit special considera-
tion and study.
In the coming academic year, sev-
era1 objectives in particular, must be
efforts begun this year to have our
students represented at seminars and
conferences. Careful apportioning of
expense money will ensure that the
maximum number of students can be
sponsored, and encouragement of re-
ports, both .for the Coryphaeus and
for the files, will allow the informa-
tion gained to benefit all the campus.
One important role of the Board
of Student Activities is the encourage-
ment of new activities. I believe that
there should be something in the
Student Council programme for every-
one - something for YOU.

I would like a chance to work for
this university’s Student Council to
attract interested and capable stu-
dents to take a more active part in
student activities. I feel there are
many people eager to help but who
do not know how to go about it.
I had some experience in this type
of work on my high school Student
Council and as president of the Girls’
Athletic Association. At the Univer-
sity of Waterloo, I have worked for
Treasure Van as a sales manager. I
am a scholaiship student in the Arts
faculty, working for a degree in
Sociology.
As an Arts Representative to the
Student Council, I would undertake
to perform any jobs or activities given
to me as best I could.
Larry Woods
I am willing to work hard on Stu-
dent Council to make this university
a better, more democratic blace. In
high school I participated in Student
Council, Red Cross, band, orchestra,
and glee club, maintaining an A
average throughout. In my first year
of college, while residing at St. Paul’s,
I gained experience by working on
the Study and Worship Committee,
a committee of the College Council.
I was a member of the Constitution
Committee for the College, and I
was an Athletic represeritative for the
College. Therefore, I feel’ I am quali-
fied to serve you as Arts Representa-
tive of the Student Council this year.
considered. Science Representatives
must advocate a more dynamic and
capable Science Society. The Student
Union building must be built as soon
as possible, and more suitable facili-
ties must be obtained for various stu-
dent clubs.
In general, the student representa-
tive must actively support student or-
ganization, and see that special events
are properly organized and well pub-
licized in advance.
As a candidate, these qualifications
must include sufficient experience in
student organization, and I believe
my background in these activities will
prove most helpful. Last year I was
secretary of the Science Society, and
secretary and cultural director of the
Ukrainian Club. I also served on the
publicity committee of the Newman
Club, and was a member of the per-
formance group of the Folk Dance
Club. .
In conclusion. student government
at Waterloo must have active and
interesting participation, and as a
Science Representative, I will do my
best to carry out the wishes of my
faculty.

In my capacity as Engineering
Representative I will strive to further
the interest of the Engineering
students, on and off campus. For in-
stance, the Summer Engineering
students pay regular Student Council
fees, yet at present, council offers no
programs in the summer.
, Council should thus cooperate with
the Engineering Society in bringing
about a number of summer programs.
The Engineering Society has recent-
ly been looking into the possibility
of publishing an Engineering
or journal. Such a paper would be
published year round and should
thus be supported by Council, since
it would be a summer substitute

What can I do for you as Engin-
eering representative on Student
Council? Do not look for any mathe-
matical arrangement of promises that
most of the time fall through. I offer
you my services, time and past ex-
perience in return for your vote: an
ambition to see better things for the
University of Waterloo.
In high school I was active in a
variety of clubs and student govern-
ment which would all prove to be an
asset,,as a member of Council. In my
‘first year here I have been a class
representative on both Engineering
Societies. During my time on ,the
societies I was able to find out what
the Ehgineers want ‘from their council
while on and off campus.
What I would like most to see in
the coming year is spirit among the
students. Just because you are here
for only four months does not mean
that you can not get active in projects
of the Council and Societies. Do you
want the University to be known only
for -putting out the best Engineers?

In the past, the Student Council
has been characterized by a constant
struggle to keep its programs and
activities going, This has usually been
due to the limited number of genuine-
ly interested persons doing the
groundwork and looking after the
details on the ,various committees of
Council. Those who actually have
been involved have accomplished a coupled with insight that has de-
great deal and should be commended
for their efforts, but the fact remains
that there simply haven’t been enough
people to do the job properly.
The 25 members will allow more
committee work to be equitably
distributed, and thereby improve the
overall efficiency. Much more than
this is required. If elected I propose to
lau ch a major effort to encourage
participation in student government
by students of this university. There
are large numbers of students on this
campus who have more than a passing
interest in student affairs but who, for
one reason or ,another, have not taken
