The S U'Consﬁtuﬁon

What is the the U.P.E.I. Student Union Constitution? In the following weeks the office of the Speaker in co— njunction with the newspaper will endevour to bring you sections of this document — the body of laws which gov— ern the mechanics of your Student Union. It also pro— vides a basis for student

'rights on and about campus in relation to the univer- sity. In this first week we shall begin with the Declar- ation of the Student Bill of Rights of the U.P.E.I.S.U. If you want to know where you stand I urge you to flo- low this weekly series or to pick up copies ~free- from me at the Student Union of— fice in the basement of Mem— orial. Students have been screwed many times over in loss of rights and cold hard cash. See to it that you don't lose again. Pick up your copy now.
