"Woozy ’ MacDonald

The school year is coming to an end with one week of classes remaining. This al— so marks the end of the 1975—76 term of Student Uni— on as offices will be vacat— ed on May 1st. With a great number of those working with Student Union being senior students, attention must now focus upon graduation, term papers, and exams. As this is the last issue of the Cadre, it will be my fi- nal opportunity to speak to any great amount of students and I wish to use this opp— ortunity to capsule the work of the year.

Academically, the six st- udent representatives on se- nate have tried to cut thro—

ugh rhetoric, lack of logic, and the slowest pace of any "working" body with which I have ever been associated.

A prime example of this occ- urred last week when the Dean of Arts moved to shelve the Aims and ©bjectives re— port and begin all over ag-

ain; this time attaching one’

of these elusive "philosoph- ies of education" to the do- cument. This not only igno— res the 12,000 or so dollars spent on the report but also the energies of the three people who spent many hours in soliciting opinions and ideas to compile into the do- cument, I might also add th— at none of these three were present to defend their rep— ortwhen it was shelved bec— ause they were not informed of the importance of this meeting. Therefore, I could safely say that the many hours spent in the Senate by Art Laffin, Brian Howatt, Wade MacLauchlan, Doug Smith Derek Key, and myself were almost a complete waste of time. I Socially, it is a matter of debate whether things are getting better or worse. Octoberfest, Winter CarniVal and other social events were well attended but per— haps thrown off slightly by Liquor Board regulations.

However, I think it basical—

Professor Murray Moo—You- ng, with the help of Unive— mity of Guelph animal nut— ﬁtionist professor David MOwat, will be carrying on me work to try to build apractical system for pr- ducing protein this way. ‘

entertained; we expect a da— nce to be like a movie; eve- ryone can sit back and we'll still have a good time. A good number of people can sit back and entertain them— selves but a great majority feel a need to look at some— thing, people, the band, and

ves, it was because the band

Maybe everyone is just shy.

In other areas, our union did a fine job of supporting the maintenance workers in their contract disPute. Al- though everyone shared diff— erent views on this subject, students pulled together to help the maintenance workers gian a fair settlement. Our next major confrontation has been over the proposed fee increases which come at a time of cut—backs in student loans and a bleak student employment picture for the summer. We are attempting to hold the increases to a minimum and come to some so— rt of agreement with the Provincial Department of La— bour for employing students 'this summer.

Within student union, we have maintained many organi- zations such as the Movie Club, Student Judicial, Rad- io CIMN, the Cadre, Yearbook Club, Photo Club (where we all had our problems), Soci—

al Committee, Coffee Houses, Campus Police, and of course a big thank-you to our Pers— onnel Board who had the job of hiring people for all these committees.

The Students Council of

-the Student Union is also to

be commended for always ach- ieving quorum; something no other body on campus can claim, and for doing a fine years work. On behalf of this body, thanks for a great year. On behalf of myself, thank—you for help- ing me through a year which I had the worst thoughts of but have come but of feeling at least a small sense of reward.

Therefore, I thank all students for the cooperation and constructive criticism we have received through the year. ’To Derek Key and the new executive and council, best of luck for a success- ful year. To those students who will remain at U.P.E.I. fight to make this a univer— sity where learning is ach— ieved in a democratic envir— onment. Even if you are all alone, it is a fight which must be carried on. To the graduating class of '76, have a happy and subsistent life.

Thank you Gerald MacDonald U.P.E.I.S.U. Pres.
