Student Participation in University Governance
Calls for more student participation
in university administration increased throughout the late 1960s and early
‘70s. One tongue-in-cheek commentary noted:
“All is not yet secure...Those
subterranean provocateurs of insolence and disobedience: the SDU, the
River Fiddlers, the lone Campus Trotskyite, the Endeepee (whose rank are
legion) – not to mention half the SRC – still muster in their
underground retreats, their SCM rooms, and basement hovels. Yes, the radicals
are among us....the day may yet come when red, pink and black will wave
from our beloved Chemistry cathedral.”

At the 1968 congress of the Canadian Union of Students,
CUS President Peter Warrien simply said “This is the year to sock
it to the administration.”
