The Student Union appears to be_running itself and where are the Union Officers who are representing us in*a supposedly democratic manner.

A so called democracy where there has not been a Union meeting in almost a month, a Union that does not have an ombudsman

ELECTION} ’ 1

i

i This is the second i and possibly last pre- } election report that will be run in The' 0 Cadre. On Tuesday - October I7, the Student Union had invited all the candidates from Helpeque and figment Econstituiencies to come i to Duffy amphitheatre ifor a group confron- itation with the studen, body. The fellowing is

a general outline of ho,

how the candidates came over and what their

I opinions are.(EOTE: thi this article is as biased as the last!)

From what this

reporter saw and heard of all candidates, and everyone is interested, and have dgdicated themselves to helping ?rince Edward Island come out of the dark ages. how from there, I could look at the individual candidates and say so and so iS‘for this,or that, but they ally spout what we want to hear, or if that isn't possible, party lines. Generally the best looking candidates are either David HacDonald T3 or Caroll Kadey an}

_ in figment, or Angus

I will say very

little about the Liberal candidates because they never graced us with their fair presence. From that I can only assume; in the votes of university students so I really wonder why you should vote for them:

and a Union that is now being run by a small elite that con- trols our interest. As you sit there think of the respon- sibility we have placed in their hands and think as well of how helpless we are to do anything about it. Agreed, a lot of students don't give a damn but there are those of us who do care}we would like an opportunity to help determine what influences our lives as students: we would

like an opportunity to go to meetings (if there were any)

and we would like

to know the agendas of such meetings in advance as is con— stitutionaly dictated. we have representa— tives on such Univ- ersity bodies as the Board of Governors and Senate and we would like to know what they are doing. wewant to be informed

'and we would like to

participate.

Apathy is not an

»excuse for the present

state of affairs. There is no excuse for the total lack of student part- icipation except the union rfipresentatives themselves. They have faught an elec— tion to represent us now I hope they will accept the responsi— bility that goes with their positions. BY Richard O'Brien

-Av STUDENTS’ LOUNGE

If one were to examine the Student Handbook to the Day Student's Lounge in Bernadine Hall, one would discover that it is listed as being available-to female day students only. Acting

:upon the initiative of ‘a certain member of the

Student Union Council (one Linda Lidstone), The Cadre contacted Er. im Griffith, head of Student Services, who is the man responsible for theseimstters. In a

itelephone interview Mr.

Griffith confirmed the rumour that the Day

_Student's Lounge is

indeed available to male as well as flemale day students. hr. Griffith stated that the insertion.in the Student Handbook_was an unfortunate oversight. In response to our questions, he also went on to clarify the rules governing the facilities of the lounge.

It is open from 8:30 a.m. until approximately 6:36 p.m. and is designed to allow day students to produce their own light lunches (soup, sandwiches,

There is a stove and a fridge in the lounge and lockers may be rented for $1.00 which is refundable at year's end. The day students will have their own entrance and exit through the back door of Bernadine - the door to Bernadine proper being out—of- bounds. These facilities are available now but if ~they should be abused, the service could

easily be discontinued. Please! Don't spoil it for the rest of us.
