On a cheerful note (heavy sarcasm intended
here), Dr. Parkinson, chairman of the SFU
Board recently said that the housing crisis
facing students right now is as serious as
that which faced UBC immediately after the
war when ''temporary'’ army huts were
brought in to ease the situation and house
returning veterans. Taking a look through
the rentals section of the North Shore
News puts a further depressing perspective
on the problem--I nearly choked to discov-
er that one bedroom apartments are START-
ING at $400 a month! Understandably Cap's
housing person, Gail, is having a difficult

time of it with far more requests than
available (and affordable) places. If you
know of a place to rent, please contact
her at local 277 -- she'll have no problem
finding an inhabitant for it.

Also busy around the campus. this summer
have been four fine arts students--Shannon
Browne, Janet Wilson, Susan Kosh and Wayne
Arsenault. They haven't been taking any
courses, though -- they're on a YEP grant
doing a research project. By the end of
August what the team should have is a com-
prehensive guide for fine arts students
with information in it on where to get
good books and films about art, where to
shop for painting supplies, where students
can get paintings hung free, what compan-
ies in Vancouver have art collections and
how one can get to see them and even how
to get started with galleries. They are
also compiling a library of art school ca-
lenders from North and South America, and
farther afield. Right now they're working
on tips for travelling to and staying in
Seattle on a students! budget (exhibits go
there that don't make it to Vancouver) - a
bit of information that many departments
might find useful. If you'd like to get in
touch with them, look for the Fine Arts
Research Team at local 384, but don't call
them by their acronym.

CONWAY'S LAW
In any organization there will always
be one person who knows what is going
on.
That person must be fired.

No one shot at Diane Blaney when she was
holidaying in Belfast, Northern Iretand,
but she was searched and frisked entering
every store. Back at work and recovering

From the excitement she's full of good
stories. Lo.

MISSING--ONE PET ROCK. In case you haven't
noticed the Business Management ''pet rock!!
that used to be on the lawn in front of
the NB Building is missing. It was stolen,
you see. It seems that the BTSD students
removed it from the lawn just before grad-
uation (I have no idea how), but they are
now waiting fimpatientiy for the Business
Management students to get back for the
fall to continue the dramatic hostage tak~
ing incident. BTSD students, by the way,
are here all year round. They have two
classes running now, both full: to the brim
with a slight turnover as some finish and
others join. During the quiet season here
when there are no rocks to steal they en-
gage in other activities such as the
traditional volleyball tournament against
the Quebec exchange students. | suspect,
From the fact that they didn't mention the
winners, that they lost again this summer.
If you want to talk to anyone in B.T.S.D.,
their summer hours are 8:00-3:30. The rock
however, is incommunicado.
