Biology Club The Biology Club projects and activities this year varied from slides and films to winning the Chariot race and taking third prize on Club's Day. The club spent several weekends at Eve's Park near Duncan where living accommoda- tions were set up and trails were built through the park to prepare it for use as a field research station for the Biology Department. Because of widespread interest in the Buttle Lake situation, the Biology Club held an evening talk by the Hon. Ken Kiernan Qrightj to discuss conservation in the parks. In the field of public relations, club members guided visitors through the Biology Department on Open House, as well as sponsored a seminar for Qoo high school students interested in courses and careers in Biology. Cther field trips included travels to Simon Fraser University, Vancouver Public Acquarium, Ladner waterfowl refuge, and Botanical Beach near Port Renfrew. Num v - sm i ix .T AL! 4

The Club held regular weekly meetings where up-to-date films on Astro- nautics, Astronomy, Computers and other Physics subjects were alternated with talks and demonstrations by UVic's own research scientists on their activities. Visits were made to the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, the Pacific Naval Laboratory. A series of outside lecturers addressed the club. The UVic Physics Faculty is charged with the design of the beam transport for the TRIUMF accelerator Qabovej. The Physics Club built a scale model of the Facility with the help of the Physics workshop. This model was on display at the Open House, at the Western Physics Conference and also at UBC.

First term, they saw the workings of an archaeological dig through slides, then left for the Gulf Islands to see the sites for themselves, one at Montague Harbour, and the other on Cabriola Island. Second term, the group travelled to UBC's Anthropology Museum and Archaeology Laboratory. This year, Mr. Don Abbott spoke to the club about the new museum and Mr. Reg Keely about the Maori of New Zealand.

Geography Club Under the direction of Peter Wfestaway, president, the Geography Club was able to present a number of very interesting films on various topics which were followed by informal group discussions. At other meetings, members of the Geography Department were given an opportunity to explain their particular courses and answer student questions. Members of the Geography Club were actively engaged in UVic's Open House Days. Linguistic Clubs ,X wider knowledge and appreciation of other cultures, their languages and arts, were encouraged by the Lingtiistirs Clubs on campus this year. All clubs provided films, literature, and interesting speakers to attract members of various nationalities. Under President Peter Arinstrong, the Spanish Club upheld its precedent by providing periodicals and books for the library. 'I'lit- Ifrt-nf li.
