We’re going to do more for the students next year than was done this year,’’ said Nelson. Booth agrees. ‘‘It’s going to be a good year. We've got a good executive, and we'll get a lot done.”’ According to Booth, the mood at the meeting was “extremely positive’, and “they discussed several ideas for new projects. One proposal is ‘‘Movie Time’’, showing free movies during class breaks in one of the lecture theatres. They want to see more entertain- ment brought in- ‘‘maybe comedians from -Punchlines, or up and coming bands- things to ease some of the drudgery of studies.’ Another possibility Nelson mentioned is sponsoring free lunches. He says, ‘‘This is a Student Society, it’s the stud- ent’s money. The student part really has to be emphasized.’’ Another major goal is get- ting as much done as possible over the summer towards getting a Student Union Building.

The festival will feature a disarmament symposium, an international mayor confer- ence and a studnents disar- mament conference, as well as concerts, exhibitions, and the annual Walk for Peace on Sunday, April 27. Highlighting the festival will be a three day ‘Centen- nial Disarmament Sympo- sium’. The symposium will hold five sessions open to the public. Session | will feature Rear Admiral Eugene Carrol, deputy director of the Centre for Defence Information in the U.S.*and physicist Kosta Tsipis, director of the Prog- ram of Science and Technol- ogy for International Security at MIT.

The festival will culminate on April 27 with the annual Walk For Peace, which will start at both Kitsilano Beach and Cambie Street, move over the Burrard- and Cambie Street bridges, and end with a rally at the B.C. Place sta- dium. First held in 1982, the march attracts thousands of participants annually. This year, organizers are hoping to beat the previous record of 115,000 marchers, set in 1984. SFU stays CFS SFU is staying national. The votes came in last month for SFU staying national: or going regional as a member of CFS. The final outcome was an 11 vote difference out of 900 votes in favor of the university staying on a national basis. The Canadian Federation of Students is an organization that was formed in 1981 from several smaller ones. It is made up of 66. student associations across Canada out of which there are 16 located in B.C. The total membership adds up to 400,000 with 65,000 of them in B.C.This Federation is founded upon the idea that students can use _ their political and economical strengths by working to- gether, the result being a stronger voice for education and more student services. Since SFU is a_ large institution in B.C. compared to Douglas College and the college has a membership in CFS, S.F.U. going for a regional membership would have affected certain pro- grams student services of-: fered here (mainly the deprivation of certain priv- eleges). Now, we may sit back and expect things to go on as usual. Staying on a national basis with CFS offers more advant- ages than regional. National means all high connections reaching right out to Ottawa (more power) and more and better student services. On the other hand, regional means the elimination of major advantages such as no national membership card or an international discount card. So why was the idea of S.F.U. going regional thought of? Tom Ewasiuk, a_rep- resentative of CFS at SFU, suggests major flaws in the organization presently, such as the method in which all information is handled. But he still supports the idea of SFU staying national since going regional would only result in more flaws, more problems, and_ less_ privel- eges. So, the final outcome is - that S.F.U. stays national as a member of C.F.S.
