1. Minimum Flatting Requirements

Are students aware that there are city council by-laws laying down minimum standards for "family units" (flats), and boarding houses These include such minimum standards as "hot running water piped to the sink and bath"; and "living room a minimum of 150 square feet. with healing facilities to be provided."

If these facilities are not provided. students can demand them from landlords without a rent increase.

If landlords are obstinate or unwilling students should contact the city council (building department) who will arrange for an inspection of the flat and take necessary action.

If students are interested in perusing the city by-laws at greater length cyclostyled summaries are available at the Students' Association Office.

2. Little Green Cards

It is urgently required that all students who used the Victoria accommodation service this year inform the accommodation oflicer, Mrs. Brown, of the nature, whereabouts, and desirability of the particular accomodation into which they have settled themselves.

This is not a security plot or a capping stunt, but merely to help Mrs. Brown assess student demands and needs more accurately. Return of the little green card with which students using this service were distributed with would be the most desirable method of communicating, but any other method of communication-telegram. pigeon or Christmas card—would be gratefully received.

3. Sub-Committees

In the view of the usual enthusiastic student response to the invitation for sub-committee membership. I cannot but conclude that the lack of executive responses to student opinion in this University is in many ways a phenomenon caused by students themselves. House committee chairwoman received one application — international affairs about half a dozen, myself only one. Are students unaware that any student can join a sub-committee and that these form "a direct channel of access to the executive itself."
