ORGANIZATIONS WEEK One Monday morning early in October it happened. Tents mushroomed on U.C. hill, and there it was, a full fledged semi-circus. And there you could join any organization that exists on campus, and then some. In fact, some energetic souls decided that this was the time to form a new club or two. Some were serious, and a radio club petition was circulated pushing for an FIVI station on campus. Others were not quite so serious as the formation of the Apathy Club might indicate. Pre-empting the empty USC booth, this was the club for everyone, offering absolutely nothing. N , 'W ' .fix X . an .VZ .Q l fi i X 'ib. Putting the clubs out on the hill in tents was a good idea, however, as it liberated the clubs from the chaos of the Talbot College hallway, or the gloom of the one in University College. Everyone came around and looked and asked questions and poked and prodded, and some even joined. It was just as well that it didn't rain.

I 'xy J Aix 4 J HV7 Q THE ASSOCIATIDN For professional entertainment, the Spur brought in the Association, and that wasn't a mistake. With PAT PAULSON FOR PRESIDENT stickers plastered all over their guitar cases, they came on with a brand of polish that made the viewer attentive to the finer nuances of their own style of harmony. Playing many of their hits lCherish, Never lVIy Love, and Along Comes IVlaryl, their patter in between numbers was fresh and spontaneous. The audience had a good time as they weren't played down to, but played across at, as there was a degree of respect by this group for its audience. The group played two shows to 4500 enthusiastic Frosh and others and was a good start for the Spur, as far as entertainment was concerned. Too bad they couIdn't keep it up.

PARKING Like everywhere else in our mobile society, parking is a problem at Western, and last year was no exception to its progressive stranglehold. Over 7000 parking tickets were given out lalthough the faculty steadfastly refused to pay for theirsl and cars were towed away at the convenience of Doug Waite and Bill Kovacs and the whim of the Security Police. The problem had grown in past years, and with the apointment of C.W. Brown, an ex-military policeman, as head of Campus Security, it became apparent that the administration was trying to break the deadlock. Action by the USC and various ad-hoc committees only postponed the resolution of the matter, as on July 1, 1969, a new parking plan was instituted, containing all the contentious points of the original proposal. You won't recognize the place if you ever come back. rv'- wil. -I -'ri
