This project has the backing of Student Union, a number of interested faculty and the workers themselves. This will lead to a referen- dum on Wednesday when to students go to the poles to decide whether or not to support the workers in other ways. Therefore if you as an individual~wish to know the facts concerning the dispute I urge you to attend one, if not both of these meetings.

This brings me to one more point and that is con— cerning student participa— tion in the university come

sday there was held the fall general meeting of the Stu- dent Union - about 40 people showed up. Fine turnout you say? I think not Comment: What a lazy bunch of pigs students are‘around here. What you”say: You heard it" I said,Did you know that ap- proxiately $80,000 in caSh is controlled by the S.U. annualy with a spending cap— acity of over $125,000. "A lot of money" you say. "Your right", I said. And by the looks of things are going to spend it.

"0.K. you say". Tahnks sucker. Looks like some of the S.U. executive can aff— ord an extended vacation in Mexico over the holidays. Eighty grand goes a long. way.And in the long run do you really think the major— ity of you turkeys caré? Maybe - maybe not but if .someone don't speak up soon just check my half ton in January.

role that the CRTC sees cam— pus radio as playing.

Mr. Harris characterized radio as a stimulus reponse which has a tremendous pot- ential for creating reality. Mr. Harris sees the program director (in our case, Kip. Puiia) as having the most power in shaping the nature of radio stations. He also saw campus radio as serving the same needs as commercial radio - entertainment and information.

Mr. Harris did not see the campus radio as having

There have been some com- plaints about the recreation program, both social and

able on campus, especially on the weekend.The need for a minimum level of recreation is evident. Bhysical and men— tal exercise centributes to the maximum utilization of the whole person.

The social learning which takes place tends to increase the students adjustment to. reality. The friendship bonds which are created by close contact and intense interact-. ion may last a lifetime.

In conclusion, it can be

It is assumed, however,

that there~can be an imp— rovement in the existing sys— .tem which can only be ach— ieved by mutual interaction of the residents and the rep— resentatives of the univers- ity administration.

Special thanks go out to the dons and head residents of the various residences who contributed their val- uable time towards this article. Without their coop- eration; the article would not have been possible.
