. Promotes SWAP By Sheila Lund Heather Crosbie, Halifax ravel Cuts Manager, was on the UPEl campus this past week. She apoke to Student Council during their last meeting, and on Monday :vcning to students, about the services and programmes Travel Cuts has to offer, and to promote lllC SWAP Programme (Student Work Abroad Programme). Crosbie said that over the past year, SWAP has sent over 1000 Canadian students abroad to London, England. Of these 1000 \lllanIS approximately 150 were from the Atlantic Region. There are also programmes available to Ireland, Belguim, and New Zealand, but they tend to have less participants. Crosbie explained that the programme gives students a chance to stay and work in the United Kingdom from two months to a year, and have the opportunity to travel. “Feed- back on whole, has been abso- lutely positive”! Crosbie said, regarding the opinion of students who have participated in the programme. She also felt that the programme, “was an excellent experience. ' ’ The programme is solely meant to give students wages to live abroad, and some money to travel. Books barred BURNBARY, B.C.

Next to the Kirkwood Motel Hotel Student Pugwash Michael Zinclr, Local Coordinator The network of Pugwash organizations made up of students and young research scientists in- tent on exploring the social and ethical implications of all areas of science and technology is quickly expanding to include new groups in Bulgaria, Finland, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the United Kingdom. The develop- ment of these groups was greatly facilitated this year by discussions among their representatives at the Third National Conference of Canadian Student Pugwash in Ottawa, June 14-16, the Fourth International Student Pugwash Conference in Princeton, New Jersey, June 23-29, and the 35th Pugwash Conference on Science and World Affairs in Campinas, Brazil, July 3-8. These conferences provided stu- dent members of the Pugwash Movement with a unique opportu- ‘ THE NErrED GEM grows nity to participate in workshops sessions with prominent scientists and educators from around the world and to share the diverse experiences of Pugwash groups in eastern and western Europe and North America. The idea of involving students in the Pugwash movement was conceived with the first Inter- national Student Pugwash Con- ference organized in 1979 by a small group of university students in the United States. This con- ference led to the establishment of Canadian Student Pugwash in 1979 and the formation of Student Pugwash, U.S.A. and the Bul- garian Youth Pugwash groups in Finland (1983), in F.R.G. (in I984). and in the UK. (in 1984) quickly followed, largely as a result of the active encouragement of members of their respective national senior Pubwash counter- parts. Student Pugwash, U.S.A. was established in 1982 after a group of American university students organized two International Stu- dent Pugwash Conferences in 1979 and 1981. The recent con ference held at Princeton Univer- sity addressed the sub} ".1 of “Science, Technology and lndi- vidual Responsibility," and was attended by 90 students repre- senting 25 nations and a wide variety of disciplines. Such con- ferences have helped foster the development of 14 Student Pug- wash chapters on college and university campuses throughout the United States. As this new network of Student Pugwash continues to grow, th0u~ sands of young scientists from dif— ferent cultures, different political systems, and different academic backgrounds are attempting to nourish a sense of social respon- sibility on the part of the inter- national scientific community. ln six short years of development, a great deal has been accom- plished toward that end.
