Members from various University of Alberta associations, along with representatives for the Committee Against Racism, met at Athabasca Hall Dec. 7 to discuss ways to support the Lubicon Indian band.

The group says it would like to stage a major event on the University of Alberta campus to publicize the Lubicon situation, prior to the Calgary Olympics.

One activity which the group proposes is to set up an on-campus forum with representatives from the Lubicon band.

A meeting is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 12 at the Native Students Lounge at 7 p.m. to formalize the group and to meet with representatives from the Lubicon band.

Chief Bernard Ominiyak may attend the meeting along with band consultant Fred Lennarson.
