ECCA STUDENT SOCIETY Summary of the activities of ECCA Student Socie- ty (formerly The Vancouver Schoo} of Art Student Society). Meetings are held in the Student Society Office every Monday at 4:15 P.M. Reportings of a court reporter: The meetings of the ECCA Student Society have been well attended this year (compared with previous years) with an average of 15 people per meeting. Your executive are: PRESIDENT — David Cran VICE PRESIDENT — Dennis Walsh ~ TREASURER — Manuella Sovdat SECRETARY — Sandra Platt Student Representatives to the college committees are: OUTREACH COMMITTEE — Jane Falks DEANS COMMITTEE — Barbara Swail & — Shannon Reece PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE — Dave Rayfield & Linda Frazer STUDENT SERVICES COMMITTEE — Allister Brown & Jules Drake CONCOURSE GALLERY COMMITTEE — Sandra Platt FACULTY EVALUATION TASK FORCE — Gordon Moore & Michael Lawlor There has been a number of proposals as to how The Student Society should spend its $5,000.00 per semester budget, raised through student fee con- tributions. Some of it was spent as follows: FILM SOCIETY: Kate Abbot presented a proposal outlining plans for twice monthly showings of feature films. The Film Society was alloted $1,588.00 to pay for the film rental, a monitor/pro- jectionist and a film co-ordinator. There has been four showings so far, and any funds reclaimed through admission fees are to be turned back to the Film Society Fund. SPONSORSHIP FUND: Due to the fact that the Stu- dent Society is no longer financially responsible for the Helen Pitt Gallery, and since a need was felt for assisting students with the financial responsibilities of an outside show, a fund of $1,000.00 was set up. The funds were to be alloted to students who made proposals, to a maximum of $200.00 per student. The proposals were slow in coming in and were considered on a ‘“‘first come, first serve’ basis. However at the last meeting The Student Society saw more proposals than there was money to cover them, and all those who had proposals were re- quested to present them December ist, when the requests would be looked at as a group and the re- maining funds allotted. NEWSPAPER “WOO”: Laiwan Chung and Arni Haraldsson presented a proposal to The Student Society requesting funding so that a student newspaper could be set up. The Student Society budgeted $1,000.00 to the publication of the newspaper until Christmas. Any revenues from the sale of advertisements in the paper are to be reclaimed by the Newspaper Budget. There has been two issues of the paper in the first semester. FRAMES: The Student Society has purchased twenty-four 16’’x24”’ Aluminium Frames that can be rented by the students for $1.50 per week or bought for their original costs. The demand for the frames has been small. Student representatives attend committee meetings in an attempt to present student concerns and to report back to students what is happening. FACULTY EVALUATION TASK FORCE: Gordon Moore and Michael Lawlor presented The Student Society with a questionnaire that had been worked on in the summer and fall by the Task Force. The Student Society had time to go over the question- naire and to make suggestions that were sent back to the Task Force. At last report it was learned that the faculty was having some problems with the questionnaire and that there should be another report by mid-December. DEANS COMMITTEE: David Cran and Barbara Swail reported that the funding of trips and a possible budget deficit has been the main topic of discussion at the meetings. A Night School Program has been set up and is being administrated by Nini Baird and Isabel Spalding. Ms. Spalding made herself availabie to The Siudent Society for a question and answer period and generally assured Day Students that no disruptions should take place because of the pro- gram. PROGRAM ADVISORY COMMITTEE: Linda Frazer reported that the committee had been mainly con- cerned with the Degree Program Proposal. CONCOURSE GALLERY COMMITTEE: Sandra Platt reported of a meeting with the Dean that resulted in the Deans comments in the last issue of ‘‘WOO”’. The committee has met once to see proposals for the gallery space and the schedule for the re- mainder of the year has been decided upon. THE FACULTY SHOW What can be the unifying force of a show of this nature? It is made up of different sensibilities and many individuals. One submission only describes the tip of the iceberg of it’s maker. | can’t say anything ‘really’ about the show, though it did spur some questions and it raised an important problem to me... sO maybe | do have something to review. Firstly, about the show in general, | apreciate its happening and its expression of the vast percep- tions within our faculty walls. The small individual facets or nuances of an instructor is a welcome for students to see. We need to see what instructors do when not teaching us. That’s a nice image .. . “they, they do make!!!” But then comes the problem that hounded me for quite a while. Since this show is made up of a varie- ty of artists, what is the unifier? The common denominator is the word ‘‘Faculty”’ and the unity is in the label ‘‘The Faculty Show.” Now caqmes the crunch. | as an Interdisciplinary student am faced with a problem with gallery shows. The great variety of mediums and ideas that are open to me pose a dilemma. | can’t just put an idea into a medium; or ‘whatever idea fits a medium’ concept is not acceptable for me, because then the medium is the manipulator and not the ar- tist. The medium would still be the medium with an idea. How would | express my style, my character, without the label on the poster saying it’s my show? How can | master so many mediums without a com- mon force? A show of this nature for me would be schizophrenic being an interdisciplinary artist . . . that would be my weakness. | would be without a style, without a character. There has to be a discipline within inter- disciplinarianism. A philosophy perhaps . . . perhaps even a goal? | think, | liked the Faculty Show! @ LC. (ECCA Concourse & C.H. Scott Galleries) October 27th - December 6th LATERNA~PASTARIA Billy Yip THE STUDENT SOCIETY IS SPONSORING A CHRISTMAS PARTY DECEMBER 13th, from 8 P.M. until 1 A.M. MEETINGS ARE HELD EVERY MONDAY AT 4:15 P.M. IN THE OFFICE IN THE STUDENT LONGE. EVERYONE IS WELCOME. FILM SOCIETY The film society will be showing films on two evenings in December. On Thursday, December 4 at 7:30 p.m. the film will be the Rubber Gun, a Canadian feature directed by Allan Mayle and set in Montreal. It was made on a minimal budget with the same cast and crew that worked on Frank Vitale’s ‘Montreal Main’. It has the same documentary feel, about a group of friends involved in drug dealing. It is a look into their lives and follows the breakdown of the group under pressure. The film is one of the best English Canadian features I've seen. On Thursday, December 11 at 7:30 p.m. we will have guest speaker Tony Reif here to show a pro- gram of experiemental films. Tony has worked as a programmer at the Pacific Cinemateque, and he will talk a bit about the films and answer questions. There will be a big (please?) meeting on Tuesday December 9 at 4:15 p.m. in Room 250 to decide on programming for January. Anyone interested in mak- ing suggestions is welcome to come and we will vote from these suggestions to decide. This is the only way that the film society can represent the desires of thestudents so everyone come. If you don't like what has been shown come with your ideas. Kate Abbott Date: 4 December 1980 To: All College Announcement From: Tom Kowall Subject: Student Lounge and Cafeteria The Student Lounge and Cafeteria has been.van- dalized and the food machines broken into 4 times during the past few weeks. The College had hoped that these were isolated incidents and would not be repeated. Unfortunately the break-ins have con- tinued. Therefore beginning today the lounge will be open only from 8:30-4:30 Monday through Friday. After hours and on weekends, the security guard will open the Lounge for one half hour at 8:00 PM and at 11:00AM on weekends. Se The Student Services Committee will meet on Wednesday, 10 December 1980 to examine the pro- blem and discuss its resolution. (Representatives to the Student Services Commit- tee: Gerhard Class, Sally Michener, and Art Perry for faculty; Alistair Brown and Julian Drake for students.)
