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.

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

ROD AND GUN CLUB Starting from scratch, and embarking on an am- bitious programme, the sixty-member UVic Rod and Gun Club had a most successful year. The club was most active during the hunting season in the Fall of 1967. Meeting once a week, members of the club saw a series of films on shooting and fish- ing, as well as listening to a number of speakers on subjects ranging from resource oonservation to sporting Hrearm ballistics. At each of these meet- ings, members arranged parties amongst themselves for shoots, hunts, or fishing trips. Several of these expeditions went as far as Kamloops in search of bigger, better trophies. Expenses were considerably reduced by the purchase of machinery for the re- loading of rifle and shotgun cartridges. Although composed mainly of sportsmen, the Club has a very keen target shooting contingent. This includes a Bissley shot, Phil Watt, and Stew Frerotte, who shot on the Canadian Army team in Germany. This spring, our most active fisherman, Bob Kissenger, organized a salmon derby in Brentwood Bay, which was a great success. President this year, M. L. Napier. CAMPUS LIBERAL CLUB The 1967-68 session saw the Liberal Club involved in a variety of activities, both on and off campus, which were designed to help foster an interest in Liberalism amongst members of the student body in general, and our Club members in particular. The Club, under co-sponsorship with the Political Science Forum, invited Liberal Leadership candi- dates, Eric Kierans and Reverend Lloyd Hender- son, to speak on campus. Also three Club members were sent to the April Liberal Leadership Conven- tion in Ottawa as official voting delegates. At home, Campus Liberals polled enough votes to form the Oflicial Opposition in the annual University Model Parliament. The Club actively participated in the establishment of the British Columbia University Liberal Federation Can organization composed of all Liberal clubs at institutions of higher learning throughout the provincej , sending two delegates to the November founding convention in Vancouver. With fourteen members, president was Mike Phelps. STUDENT CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT Heresy seems to be losing its popularity! Therefore, the Student Christian Movement did its best this year to revive this ancient art. From Cabinet meet- ings at the pub to questionable songs at the Grind Coffee House, the S.C.M. contributed more to heresy on campus than any other club. At the Con- ference on Vocation they advised Christian students
