later, the large classroom seemed both useful and effec tive; now, there is a return to the small group.” LITERARY CO-CURRICS This year one of the new, and perhaps most influential, co-curricualr organizations will be the Literary Society Although Sir George has al ways had a high proportion of English M ajor and honour students, as well as those in terested inwriting creatively, there has never been any suc cessful, or operative body that could co-ordinate activities relating to literature One of the “founders” of this society, Roger Harring ton, the vice-president, who has organized a program of poetry readings, under the di rection of M ichael Freedman, and dram a under Ellen Gautsci, as well as student dialogues (debates) which he hopes that Prof Brune will assist in, in relation to her own “dialogues in depth” Most of these areas, C o n t ’ d on page Trend to Education Reform in Quebec I First issue headlines at McGill, M ontreal, Laval students' news papers headline with the role of Students' Associations in univer sity reform and education Briefly, here is what was said: McGill “Student demand reform in educational structures” reads the first page hesdline of the McGILL DAILY External Affairs VicePresident M ark Wilson is agitating for changes in teaching me thods and course content He claims that “formal schooling is the systematic prevention of education.” The ultimate solution Wilson proposes is the abolition of the lecture system I nterviewed,M cGillStudents’ be put back into question Society President Peter Smith The isolation between exe said in the McGill DAILY cutive and membership will that students had something be broken down through a to contribute to university three-pronged campaign In government Smith, a third general meetings of the asso year Ph.D (economics) stu ciation, through LE CARABIN dent, pointed out that Wil and with a dynamic and openliam Pitt was prime Minister minded executive, Jolin wants to strengthen the role of stu at 21 T he McGill DAILY, also dents in AGEL decisions carried a story about Past Pre Recently, LE CARABIN sident of the Canadian Union pointed out elsewhere, Pierre of Students Doug W ard Des April resigned when faced by cribed as a key architect of a non-confidence motion from the CUS program for univer his five vice-presidents They sity reform, W ard advocated believed April, elected Pre student representation in Uni sident last spring, to be incom versity government as a pre petent in handling the AGEL lude to change in university pre sidency Q uebec universities are ac education tively engaged in university reform The problem of edu University of Montreal cation as it affects students T he first two issues of LE is the problem of their repre QU ARTIER LATIN are over sentative student associations In all cases, association exe whelmingly concerned with the problem of university edu cutive want to serve student cation The first issue asks needs and want to reform the “L’universite, c’est quoi? association to bring them closer “L’universite c’est quoi?

e g e o rg ia n , S eptem ber 26, 1967 / Co-ops: DO YOU NEED A HAIRCUT? a solution to student housing problems OTTAW A (CUP)- Univer sities across Canada, beset with a heavy influx of students, are only with great difficulty able to find adequate funds to provide adequate teaching staff increase classroom space, aug ment library collections, install labs, and to provide other pu rely academic needs to adjust to the increased demands of a population bent on educating its young The universities’ meager resources can barely stretch to provide them with the means to get an education It cannot stretch to the point where the students will have the services which complement union buil dings, dining facilities, and, most critical this year, housing T he above items draw a low priority in university construc tion But add to this the gene ral housing shortage in Canada at the present time, particular ly as the population shifts from the rural to the urban base, and the situation becomes critical Over the past summer all available housing in many cen tres was filled by people shif ting from rural areas This Sep tem ber undergraduate students returned to university to find apartm ents and rooms were simply not available for them University residences had been booked solid since early August U niversity officials recognize the problem, but there is little they can Most universities prepare off-campus housing re gistries, but these are stop gap measures at best, and in some cases have led to all kinds of abuse by both students and administration A long-term solution advoca ted by some is student co-ope rative living Co-ops have seve ral advantages: Students living in co-opera tives require up to 25 per cent less space than those living in apartments, rooms or universi ty residences If a dwelling suitable for a family of five is turned into a co-op, up to eight students can move in to the sa me space very comfortably Co-ops not require finan- i cing in their initial stages, from either the university or the government If a house rents for $150 monthly and utilities cost another $50 monthly eight students paying $40 per month rent to realize a considerable saving over residence fees, in most cases amounting to 25 per cent They buy and cook their own food in common, which cuts down dining room overhead costs Even if a student co-opera tive association gets involved in buying and building residen ces the university assumes no part of the financial burden Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation provides approved co-operative residences with loans for 90 per cent of the cost of building, on a 50 year mortgage This makes it possible for the co-operating students to realize a saving over residen ces even while they are making mortgage payments through slightly higher than cost m onth ly room and board Co-operative residences are invariably cheaper to design, to build and to maintain They are cheaper to design because they are generally spar tan in construction and fur nishing, and completely devoid of the frills usually built into university residences They are cheaper to build because contractors habitually ‘up’ their prices if they know government is paying the shot, either directly or indirectly They are cheaper to maintain because all maintenance, clea ning kitchen work, administra tion, and discipline is done by the students themselves Because of the favourable financial conditions under which co-ops operate there is really no limit to their pos sible expansion The example of the W aterloo Co-operative Residences Incorporated is typical of the speed and effi ciency with which co-op hou sing can be set up on any cam pus in Canada , It all began at the Universi ty of W aterloo in 1964 when several students recognized the need for new rental student housing W ithin six months a handful of students rented two houses near the campus accomodating 33 students W ithin a year W aterloo Co operative Residences was set up to operate seven houses with 90 students At this point they also began construction of Hammarskjold House, a four-storey building designed specifically for student co-ope rative living It was 90 per cent financed through CMHC, and the WCRI talked the con tractor into re-investing his profit on the project to make up the remaining 10 per cent Hammarskjold House beca me the first residence in North America to be built by students It opened for business in April 1966, just two years after the first co-operative residence was set up at W aterloo At present the WCRI owns two houses in addition to Ham marskjold House, rents ten others, and accomodates 130 students, men and women at tending university ( But this does not end the story of the growth of their co-operative They are at pre sent awaiting approval of a complex of buildings which will provide self-contained apartm ents for married students and several four-storey towers for unmarried students There is no particular reason why W aterloo was able to set up such a strong and imagina tive co-operative program in such a short time It was simply a case of students willing to take the initiative and willing to seek out the right kind of advice The W aterloo story could well have happened on any campus in Canada The possibi lity is there It remains to be exploited paperbacks GUY BA RBERSH O P 1445 G uy
