within the academic regulations established

for the program.

In order to meet this objective the follow-

ing conditions must be met:

Calendar a. The Calendar should be printed by

February 15th each year;

b. Each course in the Calendar should in-

dicate the semester(s) in which it will be

offered. This denotes an obligation that the

course will be given as stated in the Calen-

dar. Any exceptions must be reported by

the Dean and approved by the Board of

Undergraduate Studies (dThe Coursemit

three semesters of the Academic Year, i.e.

the Spring, Fall, and Winter Semesters.

c. Desirably, courses will remain in the

same time slot; changes should be made

only for justifiable cause. When there is more

than one section in any course it is desirable

to have at least two different time slots.

iods: March I — 15 and June 15 — 30. Preregistration for the Fall Semester

The University of Guelph's Library has

received a gift of books from the Italian Em-bassy in Ottawa. Writings from the 14th to 20th Century are represented in the collection.

Valued at $500, the 50 volumes include

the History of Literature, critical works on

Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio and other writers, works by scientists and philosophers such as

Galileo, G. Vico and B. Croce and collections of poetry and drama.

The gift was sent by Ambassador Alessan-

dro Farace in appreciation of the contribu-

tion of President W. C. Winegard on behalf

of the University to the Ontario Chapter of

the American Association of Teachers of

Italian. The University was host to the first

meeting of the Chapter held last fall.

Prof. Walter Temelini of the Italian Section

of the Department of Languages and secretary

of the Ontario Chapter, stated his apprecia-

tion of the gift."One cannot teach without

books; books are paramount in our profession.

The variety of the donation is important be-

cause we are trying not only to teach the

language of Italy but diffuse its literature and

general culture," he said.

"This is a distinct acquisition for the

Library," Dr. R. A. Barrell, Chairman of the

Department of Languages, stated. "It emph-

asizes the close relations between the Italian

Embassy and the University of Guelph."

Chief Librarian L. F. MacRae was de-

lighted to receive the collection. "I hope

others will emulate it," he said. Mr. MacRae also pointed out that a duplicate set of the

books will be established in the projected

Italian House (Casa Italiana) on campus.

"I am delighted at the growth of Italian

studies on this campus and grateful for the

encouragement given us by the Italian Em-bassy," remarked Dr. M. H. M. MacKinnon,

Dean of Wellington College. "It is a sign of

the strengthened cultural relationship be-tween Italy and Canada."

NEW RESIDENCE — HOUSING A2 PROPOSAL APPROVED

The proposal for a 550 bed residence com-plex to be located in the area behind Lambton Hall and Macdonald Institute, by Stewart

and Hinan of St. Catherines, contractor, and

Walter Agius, architect, was accepted as the

one best meeting the University needs. This

Board recommendation will now go to the

Ontario Student Housing Corporation for

their consideration and hopefully approval. Prior to being approved by the Board, the

Stewart and Hinan proposal was selected

by a Building Committee, on which students were heavily represented, the University's

Department of Physical Resources and the

Board's Planning Committee. The estimated cost of the complex, which

will also contain a cafeteria-style snack bar,

is about $6000 per bed. Of the 550 beds

38 per cent will be in single rooms and the

remainder in double rooms. The complex

will actually consist of three separate resi-

dences, joined together by common facilit-

ies such as lounges. One 5-floor residence

will contain 50 single rooms; another will

be 10 floors high and will have room for

250 beds, the same number a central 4-floor

residence will contain.

If the plans receive OSHC approval it is hoped to have the residence ready by Sep-

bember, 1970.

STADIUM FOR CAMPUS The need for an adequate stadium on the

campus was approved in principle. An ar-

chitect is to be asked to draw up a proposal

for a 3000 - 6000 seat stadium, including

facilities such as changing rooms and pub-

lic washrooms, that will be adequate for

the future. The proposal is to include cost

estimates and plans. The Board hopes that

the stadium, which will be available for

intra-mural as well as inter-collegiate sports,

will be ready by September, 1970. The

stadium is to be financed by an interest-free

loan from the University Development Fund

and gate receipts currently on hand. The

loan will be repaid from future gate receipts.

The University of Guelph is becoming

known as the Skier's University according

to a member of the National Ski Team. "Other advanced skiers are planning to

attend the University of Guelph and I pre-

dict more and more in the future will attend,"

says Susan Graves, a Spring semester fresh-man.

Susan, who comes from Ottawa, is a mem-

ber of the National Ski Team. She gained this honor in February of this year.

During this past winter Susan competed in

the North American World Cup circuit ski-

ing at Squaw Valley, California; Vail, Color-

ado; Quebec City; and Waterville, New Hamp-

shire.

Other teams represented on campus are Les Espoirs, a farm team for the National

Ski Team, Gatineau Zone Alpine Ski Team,

and the Soutern Ontario Zone Ski Team.

Susan, the first skier from the National Team, is enrolled in Arts.

The University of Guelph's three semester

system and Spring Admissions program

makes possible a career in skiing while pur-

suing an education.

University Committee

on

Art Acquisitions

The University Committee on Art Ac-

quisitions has the following responsibilities:

a. to offer advice on the acquisition and

placement of permanent works of

art;

b. to develop a general plan for the place-

ment of sculpture in suitable locations

on the campus;

c. to prepare an appraisal and inventory

of all works of art now owned by the

University (including gifts made to

Colleges and Faculties) and to review

the condition and location of these

works year by year.

it is important that all new acquisitions

of sculptures, paintings, prints, and all

other art objects be reported immediately

to the Secretary, Mrs. J. M. Nasby. This

will ensure an up-to-date inventory of the

University Collection and insurance cover-

age for individual items.

The Committee does not wish to limit

the freedom of any person or group to

give a work of art to the University, but

stands ready to act in an advisory capacity as to the suitablility of a particular work.

However, in public areas on the campus,

some control will be necessary to protect

the integrity of the architecture and the

campus design.

It is also important to recognize that works

of art given to Colleges, Schools, or Faculties,

become the property of the University. In

this way, security, insurance, repairs and cataloguing will be handled on a consistent

basis.

The Committee is willing to meet with

any Dean, Director, or Departmental Chair-

man, to discuss the art needs of any parti-cular building. 'Inquiries on this or related

matters should be sent to the Secretary, Mrs.

J. M. Nasby or to the Chairman, Dr. M. H. M. MacKinnon.

TALK ON MAYAN CULTURE

Paul Murby, a 6th semester Arts student,

attended the lecture by Dr. T. B. Irving,

entitled "Art of the Maya". He has written

the following report of the talk.

"It is extremely difficult to present the various aspects of a culture, which has exist-

ed since the 7th century B.C., in one hour.

However, Dr. T. B. Irving's recent lecture pinpointed the highlights of the Mayan cul-

ture and, supported by slides and a movie,

called "Art of the Maya", enabled the hun-

dred people present to gain an insight into the civilization that initiated the concept of zero and developed an accurate calendar

through observations made of the stars and planets."
