ART CLUB These are some of the memories of Art Club aetivi- ties before Christmas- live or six eager members trying to drum up enthusiasm at a Clubs' Day booth with a paint-in, a pleasant party a.t the home of Gail Bigsby, a trip to the Northwest Annual and other exhibitions in Seattle, a show of student art in the SUB, and a smashing pre-Christmas wine and cheese windup at Kay van Siekleis home. After Christmas, the big events were the Tom Jones Film on january 26, and the Tom Jones Bash of February 3, a party we will never forget! S300 was raised for a Fine Arts Scholarship at this event. The most sustained part of our programme was the Art Films shown every Thursday in Elliot 167, and the Art Club workshop every Tuesday evening. Many non-art students attended, working to the 'Utd ffl .ff

excitement of taped and recorded music. Art shows were also held in the CNIB cafeteria, the Phoenix Theatre, and a year end show in the Education Arts Building. President of the fifty-member club this year, Roy Hamill. if-A li FOLK MUSIC CLUB 1967 was the first year the Folk Music Club showed its face on campus. Meetings were held regularly every Tuesday evening in the SUB. Members helped print songsheets and everybody soon forgot what poor voices they had, as thumping guitars and soul- searching harmonies pervaded the UVic Radio- filled atmosphere. Some members learned new material on instruments, and almost all learned at least a few new songs. A few got chances to perform through the Club. Members showed up in the MacPherson Theatre, the Grind, the Nine in the Fifth Place, and other Victoria institutions. Next year's plans include guest entertainers, hootenanies, a volume of songs to be sold on campus, and a much-hoped-for coffee-house workshop. With sixty- five members this year, president was Bruce Whit- tington. UVIC OUTDOORS CLUB The sixty-member Outdoors Club has been increas- ing in members and activities every year, and this one was no exception. During the university year, the Outdoors Club was active on every weekend, with a trip every Sunday, or when the long week- ends came, going on trips to various parts of the Island, such as Long Beach and Strathcona Park. Cn these long weekend trips, accommodation was arranged and activities, organized and unorganized, were of a nature so that all could take part. On the usual Sunday trips, the Club travelled to many different beaches, to known and unknown ones. Some of the more interesting trips this year were: a cave exploring trip to Thetis Island, and one to Horn Lake. Ropes and lamps were necessary to explore the caves fully, some caves extending hun- dreds of feet with several entrances. Another trip really worthwhile was to Mt. Arrowsmith, near Port Alberni, This mountain was climbed by forty members in the winter. The time taken to climb with packs to the base cabin ranged from two to six hours. The next year looks very bright, under the new president, John Sampson, the Club is already planning a trip off the Island. President this year, Ken Barton.
