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.

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 Economics and Creighton Clubs, presided over by GeoHrey Thornburn and Roger Hall respectively, introduced many speakers to club meetings. Bruce McKenna, president of the Sunac Club sponsored the Pacific Seminar, while the Debating Union, under Steve Stark, championed both the British Debating Team and that of UBC. An active year was had by Ken Lanels Cine Club, including showing films, brochures, and literature on the Club's related activities: The Berenson Society encouraged the discussion of Art, its history and appreciation by sponsoring a weekly series of art iilms throughout the year. Doug Reedman and his executive arranged for field trips, art shows and displays, and also organized the well-received Beaux Arts Ball Qbelowj , in March. X 'Sa li-,H in .. I .

It didn't. Apollo Chief Steve Sullivan blamed this oversight on a crypto-communist plot masterminded by that enemy of all things sensual and beautiful, Stephen Bigsbyf' Guided by Sullivan, spendthrift treasurer Paul Williamson, and sizzling secretary, Wendy Smith, the embryonic club did its best to make every other Sunday night in Victoria hot. With 47 committees, the club was a model of administrative organization. Deryk the Red Reimer was devastating as chairman of the disciplinary committee, and Judy Nicholson was scrumptuous as chairman of the de-towelling committee. The club's Chamber Motet provided outstanding musical entertainment for the clubs' council, and president 'fSteam,' Sullivanis periodic chariot romps through the SUB, be-robed and followed by throngs of admirers, served to provide students with a glimpse of the true life. The club's motto: Apollo is life. Running an Apollo a-go-go swinging election, Bruce Wallace triumphed in the hotly contested race for president of next term. President-elect Wallace loves to quote Aristotlels phrase one Apollo does a summeris day make. There was only one failure this year. The Jack MacDonald liaison committee failed to lias. Oh yes, the Apollo Club took sauna baths every two weeks.
