It
is
quite
apparent
that
this
year's
Annual
General
Meeting,
September
29,
passed
by
almost
unnoticed
by
many
of
us
When
asked
about
it,
many
people
replied
,
"Annual
General
Meeting,
what's
that?"
Maybe
this
response
and
the
fact
that
a
great
number
of
students
had
heard
nothing
of
the
event
is
due
to
poor
organization
,
or
a
general
lack
of
concern
throughout
the
student
body.
Of
all
the
students
who
said
they
had
heard
about
the
A.
G.
M.
,
only
a
few
actually
attended.

MATH
ANXIETY
STILL
A
WORRY
MONTREAL
(CP)
Faced
with
mathematical
formulas,
many
women
react
by
tensing
their
muscles
and
getting
a
cloudy
look
in
their
eyes.
That
reaction
was-labelled
"math
anxiety"
in
the
United
States
nearly
10
years
ago.
But
with
the
coming
of
the
age
of
micro-technology,
highly
skilled
and
mathematically
trained
workers
are
in
demand
and
experts
say
"math
anxiety"
has
to
be
conquered
if
women
are
to
make
their
marks
in
those
fields.
This
year
the
Science
Council
of
Canada,
following
a
study
or
Canadian
women
in
math
and
science,
issued
a
strong
statement
of
concern
saying
few
of
them
study
those
subjects
and
litte
is
being
done
to
correct
the
sitution.
The
council
found
the
number
of
girls
studying
physics
and
math
in
high
school
is
less
than
half
the
numberof
boys.

Why
girls
and
women
stay
away
from
mathematics
and
science
is
a
hot
issue
here
and
in
the
U.
S.
,
with
much
of
the
debate
splitting
along
conditioning
and
genetic
lines
.
Janet,
Ferguson,
co-ordinator
of
the
Science
Council
of
Canada's
workshop
on
women
and
science
education
believes
the
solution
could
come
with
a
study
of
elementary
school
programs
to
determine
if
they
are
presented
well
and
if
teachers
are
will
trained.

WHAT'S
an
A.G.M.?
the
meeting,
suggested
tnat
it
was
held
in
a
poor
location.
Many
of
the
students
were
eating
lunch.
The
proceding
hampered
few.
if
any
of
the
social
conversations
held
by
student
dining.
Most
students
just
weren't
Interested
In
what
the
speakers
had
to
say.
The
Student's
Council
has
often
been
accused
of
being
ineffective,
yet
many
or
the
council
members
ran
for
election
without
opposition.
The
concensus
was
that
it's
no
wonder
the
Student's
council
has
its
problems
.
From
all
segments
of
the
student
population,
people
just
didn't
have
the
knowledge
that
the
Annual
General
Meeting
had
taken
place.
Certainly
the
meeting
should
have
been
advertised
a
little
bit
better.
It
is
hoped
that
this
is
not
an
indication
of
the
new
Student's
Council'
'
performance
.
