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

i avg- l P V 9' C.U.S. REFERENDUM Through the fall, a long and bitter battle was waged across the campus, with the end result of Western's pullout from the Canadian Union of Students. The anti-CUS forces, led by Brian Pollick lwho later withdrewl, Grant Evans, Bob Cerna, and Jim Brown, claimed that CUS had gone commie and that its radical course had taken it far from the wishes of the students of Western. Pro-CUS forces argued for the substan- tial benefits that Western had received from the Union, and claimed they had been misquoted, misunderstood, and that the rest were misinformed. Jan Kestle, Bob Baldwin, and many of the USC executive, along with the Gazette Editorial Board fought hard, and even the presence of lVlartin Loney and Peter Warrian could not reverse the flow. When the tide had gone out, CUS had gone with it. 1'
