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.
