Each of the panelists American Studies. spoke on their concerns about the Joyce Goodstriker, president of proposal. The general feeling was that the proposal was not only desireabte, but a very necessary part of the University curriculum, in light of the almost inexcusable ig­ norance that afflicts Southern Albertans concerning Native peoples in the surrounding areas. It seems that the proposal Is hung up somewhere in governmental affairs, and that more concern should be expressed on the part of the univer­ sity community, instead of the hand­ ful of 30.

John T'seleie Biewed 6dm putS spring water: Residence Activities

The residence papulation is growing yearly; this year there are nearly 300 people living here.

The Residence Council Is elected by all residence students and Is responsible to them. Its purpose, as stated In the Constitution of the Organization of Residence Svudents Is to, "e< best It can, foster the growth of nauMal concern for others in the residence thereby attempting to make the residence an In­ teresting and socially comfortable community in which to live." In order to do this, this year's council has established social, recreational, and special projects, disciplinary and food committees which are respon­ sible for organizing activities and assisting with the day-to-day welfare of the resident.

One of this fall's adventures has been the formation of eight co-ed flag'football teams which are now playing off. As well, a tennis tourna­ ment has been set up. Last weekend two busloads of residence students went to Calgary for the Calgary-Edmonton football game.

Any suggestions and Ideas for future activities are always And that's the Mthf welcomed by members of the Brewed by Canadian Breweries Alberta Limited residence council.

Up to ten academic credits will be allowed for work done In the ADULT program, with the understanding NOT SUITABLE that such wck cannot entirely com­ prise a major. FOR CHILDREN Professor Webklng envisions a "learning contract" worked out between each student and the newly formed Evaluation Committee. In the October 25th meeting of the Arts, and Science Council it was decided that this Committee be confined to 2 members from the Council for Co­ op Studies, two from Arts and Science Council, and two from the student'c department. The Educa­ tion Faculty will personally form a similar committee for education students in the near future. It would be necessary for a prospective Co­ operative Studies student to gain the Evaluation Committee's prior approval of her/his proposal, In­ cluding the specific number of credits expected, the requirements that will be involved in earning these credits, and stipulation as to what documentation the student must produce to substantiate the fulfill­ ment of these requirements. Once the student has completed his program, the committee would then evaluate the work accomplished on a credit-non credit basis. Af Preaent there ss no direct provision for a atudent ropreeon- tatlve en the evaluation Com­ mittee. Protooeor Wtohow, chair­ man of the Studies Conunlttee which recommended the com* position ol Ste evaluation Com­ mittee, supposed that (Me avae probably aa "overelght." Professor Webklng suggested that there Is enough flexabillty In the legislation to allow student representation. The strength of this argument rests on the assumption that either the Arts end Science Council or the department involved would elect to name students, rather than faculty members, as representatives. Professor Webklng and the fieldwork supervisor would probably fill the two Co-operative Study positions of the committee. It appears then that student represen­ tation in evaluation Is not likely. However, Professor Webklng feels that it is "Irrelevant to bog the launching of this project simply because a group may feel it is not represented because of the wording of a particular piece of legislation," and that, in any event, the decision was made not by him but by the Arts and Science Council. It is anticipated that approximate­ ly 35 students will be enrolled during the coming year. If you are interested and have an applicable prospective Job position lined up, or would like assistance In finding such a position, contact Professor Webking. A seminar for the univer­ sity community on the Co-op Studies program is tentatively scheduled for later this month. P.
