The motion, by Rep. Larry Calvert, provided that once a group had elected a president, treasurer and secretary to assume responsibility for council grants, no further control over expenditures would be exercised by council, poviding the group stayed within its aims, as stated on its budget request to council. Until now, clubs had to request checks for exact ammounts they wished to spend, or obtain purchase orders from council Treasurer, Bruce Ernst. "We're here to serve the students, and it's time to quit fighting about petty issues amongst ourselves and start working for them," Calvert said. Art sought Renaissance '71, a nation-wide Canadian university arts festival, will be held in Toronto this February. As well, a ten day showcase will be held at the University of Toronto Feb. 8-14. Conceived and directed almost entirely by students, the festival will present painting, sculpture, design, creative writing, films, musical performances, and theatrical productions. "Organizers hope to display the best of Canadian university students' work to the general public, university audiences, and the professional artistic world. They also wish to raise the standard and The project has been supported by people and organizations in many fields of Canadian culture and art. With support from them, and publjc and university audiences, Renaissance '71 may become a yearly tradition within Canada. Before the meeting closed, he placed seven moti-ions on the floor, but all were tabled. They included a request for rental of two typewriters for student use in the lounge, a request by the photography club for a display board in the lounge, publication of a student activities calendar for January, creation of a grievance committee to deal with student discontent over faculty or courses, and a resolution to update, review and require regular reports from the various student committees appointed since September. Representative Kevin Rhodes read his letter of resignation to council following adoption of Calvert's motion, which was seconded by Lloyd Webber. "The issue was freedom of the press. Some council members wanted to control QUUN. That's as ridiculous as having the provincial government con trol all newspapers in B.C. How could we criticize the council if they were in control of us?" Calvert responded. QUUN staffers spearheaded the motion, which was strongly backed by a letter from the Bridge Club executive. QUUN is currently constituting as Quun Publications Society; a move opposed by Ernst and Rhodes. The move will protect council, and the student union, should QUUN ever be sued for libel, and will make the society accountable to the government, as is the student union, for its finances. A motion by Rhodes to terminate the student union's publication contract with QUUN was also defeated by council. Rep. Robert Riggan reminded council that the contract could be reviewed by the council next fall. ouig, onfall cane: Spruceland Beauty Salon CisaiCC Canadian , universities arts festival TORONTO FEB 5-14 WHAT IS IT?
