who our comptroller is and what his position is at the university. As one can see from the above structure, Denis Clough, our comptroller is a very powerful man at this university. The comptroller

is directly responsible for

plaints about the operations were not being resolved by

nine areas, the Comptroller works on his own or with the university personnel on a group of other things, such

as (l)Budgets and estimates, (2)Campus Physical Development and expansion, (3)University borrowing, (4)Union negotiat- ions (chairman of all negot— iating meetings), (5)Faculty salary negotiations, (6)Space Allocations, (7)Athletics, (8)General University admin— istration (ie. member of the President's Administration Advisory Committee),and

other duties as the Presidents

may indicate from time to time.

That's a pretty heavy load for one person. Besides being in charge of all money at the 'university, Denis Clough, is in some way or another conn— ected to just about everything that hannens here. In effect;

if anything is going to happen

at the University, Denis Clough

will have to have some say in .the matter.

Denis Clough was the main person responsible for the price that students would have to pay in order to live in the New Residence (recently dubbed Blanchard Hall). The original price planned for the New Residence was to be $280 a

Some students do live in the New Residence 12 months a year not to mention that it was used for tourist overflow and conventions all summer. VAt the present time, the first; floor apartments which aren't being rented, are being used

convention which was in there last weekend.‘ __

vice to students requiring a place to live, ends up being one of the most expensive places in Charlottetown to stay. If students were to go

to Denis Clough and demand

a partial refund on the money they had to pay, they would find out that the agreement with Denis Clough had nothing in writing. Not having an ag- reement in writing with Denis Clough, usually means that you won't get anywhere, as you
