The Canadian Student, as a full member, of the academic community and society, has the right and duty to participate in shaping an environment conducive to the accomplishment of these aims and to make basic decisions about the condition and nature of his intellectual activity and the goals served by educational institutions. Declaration of the Canadian Student . . ....... . . ...Ontarion. This semester, HELP reopened the downtown drop-in centre, the gut issue of which is an experiment in freedom. They lately approached Witan for S5000 as an aid to financing the centre. A general meeting was held to discuss this issue, and widespread controversy was the result. Those supporting the idea believe that this was an excellent opportunity for Wellington College to take the initiative in fostering strong university-community relations. Opposing the grant were those who believed that the money could be better used for Wellington College students and those who believed that it was not the university students responsibility to meet the entire initial costs of a civic project. lt was finally decided that Witan would donate S3000 unconditionally, and that the remainder would be granted dollar-for-dollar with contributions from Guelph citizens.

ti l iv Do e Want C. U.S. ? O.U.S. ? Libranni ? Withdrawal of the University of Guelph from C.U.S. came about as the result of a referendum held Nov. 14. The major cause of discontentment on the campus, was the fact that the views of the C.U.S. Officials did not represent the views ofthe majority of students on campus. There was adverse reaction to C.U.S. resolutions supporting the National Liberation Front in Viet Nam, and self-determination for the people of Quebec, matters which were not relevant to the campus. However, many students were amazed to see other stu dents vote to remain in O.U.S., which holds many views that are much more radical than those of C. U.S. Simultaneous with the C.U.S. Referendum a Libranni Referendum was presented to the students, due to an election promise of Don Langford. The Referendum recorded an 80 olo vote of people in favour of retaining some type of yearbook similar to the Libranni of the past.

We went on to defeat Oueen's and Waterloo. The game with York was called because of the rain. Guelph defeated 2 out of 3 teams finishing in third place. Many thanks to Miss Goodyear for a good season.
