" 7‘ BUSi’l’leSS’jSChOOI ‘rev’iew update
\ The Business Society says
a . return of the Business School to the Faculty of Arts would bring a revival of “tensions between students and faculty from both grdups”.
Valerie Campbell, presi- dent of the UPEI Business Society, made a presentation to Student Council on Mon- day night in an attempt to reach more ,students who now know nothing about a planned review of the Busi- ness School.
In 1981, Senate passed a motion removing the Faculty of Business Administration from the Faculty of Arts. At that time, 465 students, or 33% of the total enrol-
ment at UPEI, were Business
majors. The motion stipu- lated that a review be held in three years.
Senate votes on Friday whether or not a review will be done this year.
“Morale among both students in Business and the rest of the Arts fuculty and their professors was poor before the change,” said campbell to the 13 Coun- cillors present, and added this has been eased by Busi- ness’s separate status.
Now the Arts faculty can concentrate on its other pro- grams, she said, and Busi-
ness Administration has a voice on Senate and import- ant committees such as the Budget Committee.
But Campbell thinks the quickness and efficiency with which students can have their problems processed, com- pared to- the old system of channeling everything through first the Chair of the Business Department and then the Dean of Arts, is more immediately import- ant to students.
“Yet we still have a minor- ity status,” she said, and the Business Society is satisfied with that.
Enrolment in the School has subsided since it was established away from Arts. This year 410 students make up 24% of the student pop- ulation, and program leaders such as Director 1.]. Revell expect this to “stabilize at 20 to 22% over the next four or five years” (quote from Campbell.) ‘
The Student Union Coun- cil voted with no opposition (but 7 abstentions) to come out “in favor ofthe School of Business keeping its pres- ent status”, in response to a motion from Business repre- sentative Aileen Matters.
Most student Senators pre- sent abstained from voting. President Michelle Dorsey, who sits on Senate, did not

The boys from

“I’m a working man. I don’t steal. ” ‘
This was what a man alleg- ed to have broken into rooms in Blanchard and Bernardine Halls and taken about $50 said late Tuesday night.
Robert MacDermott, a
short man with dark curly,
hair who was described as “pissed out of his trees”, was apprehended shortly af- ter midnight by about twenty male residents of Marian and Bernardine Halls after being loudly“ chases around the outside of Robertson Lib- rary. ’
Bernardine’s first floor (de- signated as a “quiet, co-ed” floor), ’said an intruder had forced open the nearly-shut window of her empty room, rifled through her desk, closet, and bathroom draw- ers, and taken $45 in bills and some change in a jar.
'At least three-other nearby rooms were entered, but owners said there seemed to be nothing missing.
MacDermott’s presence in the building was noticed when he knocked on resident Blair Campbell’s door and Campbell he

He then knocked on other doors while resident Erick Anderson alerted Security officer Al Landry, who was making his rounds of the building. -
“We thought he was jus drunk, and I kicked him out,”said Landry. ' '
Realizing what had hap- pened, Landry ran over to Blanchard Hall to see if the
drunken visitor was there. _
The intruder had proceed- ed to Marian Hall, theough, and was running through the residence. When Campbell and Anderson arrived to look for him, he ran out, closely followed by variously-clad Marian Hallers.
Behind the library, said Bernardine-dweller Kevin Wisener, “we all surround- ed him and he fell. We didn’t rough him upat all.”_ m 1
Security soon arrived to claim the captive, whom they recognized immediately.
At least one window was damaged in the break-and- enter, and Bond, who said she’ll press charges, is in- censed at the ease the burg— lar found in getting into her [0091. I > . “Why aren’t there safety
vote because she was wait- ing for more information to be presented at Friday’s Sen- ate meeting.
Senator Gordon Cobb also abstained, saying he would like to see the results of a review. .
In response to a question from Dorsey, Business senior
Heather MacNevin said Busi- ness students do get a well— rounded education — stud- ents take only 19 Business courses, compared with 21 non-Business.
“That’s better than Arts, really, where there’s nothing to say you can ’t take all your courses within one dis-
Ethiopia
by Carolyn Ryan
If someone comes up to you next Tuesday or Wed- nesday in the Fishbowl with a can, asking for donations for Ethiopia and vowing she’s a member of the UPEI Student Union Council, believe her.
In an effort to contribute to a world-wide relief effort to send aid to the famine- ravaged country where the death toll from starvation and related diseases may reach 900,000 by year end, Councillors will be canvas- sing for student donations in the classrooms, in the lounges, and in the hallways.
Gordon Cobb, Student Senator, on Monday night
proposed some action be started soon by the Student Union, pointing out how Po— litical Studies professor david Milne has circulated letters

cited Bernardine residents. OthersQVondered too.

asking that donations be channeled through the De- partment Secretary and to Oxfam Canada and then Ethiopia.
The Secretariat of State will match all amounts raised by. individual groups, Arts rep Tracy Prendergast in- formed Councillors.
“Canada is leading all oth- er countries in the aid cam- paign,” said Speaker Robert Hanf, who thinks the Coun- cil move reflects the feelings of the student body in this case.
The Student Union Coun- cil will start the drive with a $25 donation, and next Tues- day concerned studenst will be roaming the campus with pledge cans left over from the September Shinerama cam- paign.
“We’ll get them while
cipline,” she said.
With 10 full-time faculty, a “relatively modest 3.4% of the university’s operating budget, and an internal committee to review its own curriculum, Campbell thinks the Business School is in a sound position and deserves to retain its status as
they’re buying their third cookie of the day,” said SU president Michelle Dorsey.
She also said she wished students would spend energy like this fighting for more funding for higher education.
“We’ll have problems ourselves soon, as last week’s (government) Financial State— ment showed,” she predict- ed.
Cobb will be running the show for the SU, being the one who brought it up, and encourages those interested
a School apart from the Fac— ulty of Arts.
The Business Society en- courages all Business Ad- ministration majors to at- tend the Senate meeting Friday afiernoon at 3 in the Board Room, Kelley Building.)
in participating to drop by the Student Union office before Tuesday.
Just before discussion end- ed, Senator Norman Beck made a suggestion, “Make a joke or something while you’re talking to them, and you’re more likely to get results.”
500,000 tonnes of food will have to be supplied to Ethio- pia through mid 1985, a United Nations official said Monday.

Charlottetown City Police constables Gary Clough and Mike Kennedy responded to
the call at about 12:30 and
travelled through the four
disturbed rooms, accom- panied by a trail of curious floor neighbours.
Constable Clough said MacDermott will be kept in custody, and could appear in court in a month or so if charges are pressed.
