Radio Club UVic RADIO has enjoyed a very successful broadcasting year. Thanks to a dynamic executive and a large active membership they were able to expand and improve services to a level which far outstrips previous years, achievements. UVR established new studios, installed a sophisticated control board donated by radio station CKDA, purchased new microphones, tape recorders, and records, improved and expanded the Student Union Building speaker system, increased the broadcast week to over 70 hours, brought in greater advertising revenues and many other less dramatic things but equally as important for efiicient operation. Particular credit goes to immediate past president, Bob Robertson for his inspiring leadership and his invaluable help in constructing the present studios. UVR was very fortunate in having Greg Potter as technician this year. His talent for electronics ensured high quality and diversity in the system. Both Bob Robertson and Greg Potter were awarded honourable mention for their contributions. UVic RADIO has ambitious plans for expansion of services in the coming year. It will go on-airw for Summer Session this year with a new programme policy of light easy-listening music. The 7 studios will possibly be located in the Department of Transport marine radio building for next year's broadcasting. Negotiations are being pressed forward to provide the student residences with UVic RADIO speakers. Each residence will be able to tune in at will to keep abreast of campus events and listen to enjoyable music. It is the desire of every university to establish a student Broadcast Radio Station on its campus. UVic is no exception. UVic RADIO is investigating the feasibility of establishing an FM educational broadcast station in the near future. Such a station would be able to make the public aware of the students and the university. ,B-.,, viiikfvfsix-,Qg,' ' Social Clubs Presenting programmes of both a social and a community-help nature, were the Couples' Club, the Circle K and the Phrateres.

Biggest headlines were about resignations, and there were enough around Qincluding Glover'sj to keep the press busy. Inserted in the lllarflet, in its second year, was the literary- political .fllartlet fllagazine, edited by Jim Hoffman. Tryste had a rough year. The glossy literary magazine, edited by Mike Hayes and Justus Havelaar, came out just once early in the year, used its remaining funds to print the well-received journal- style Our Very Own Review. Other publications this year were the Political Srimzm Forum, edited by Gordon Pollard, and the new Am11'em1'r Guidvbook, a student critique of their profs, due to be published in the summer.
