Being chased out of Bernardine by Security.

Professors who say that stu- dents should be responsible for their own actions, and then force them to attend classes.

From the Office of the Ombudsman

MoM HM MH

Dear Students,

This letter is written in re- sponse to the letter to the edi- tor printed on page five of the October 20th issue of the Gem. Although I am not part of the Administration I sit on the Stu- dent Union Council as Ombuds- man. The Ombudsman is the person on.campus to whom the students can turn if they are hav- ing problems with the Student Union or the University. I have met with the Chairman of the Traffic & Parking Committee and with the Director of Security and have gained the following infor- mation from that meeting:

The Traffic & Parking Com- mittee is not a subcommittee of the Senate or the Board of Gover- nors. It was created to make rec- ommendations to the President on traffic and reserved parking and to handle appeals of the de- cisions made by the Officers of

— Yearb The at RE Kt ope e . t Union Offi at the Shuder 9:00 — 4:00. T ese e for those students who

arrive

books a

were f

the Security Force pertaining to parking and traffic violations. To appeal a decision of a Security Officer you must first speak with Mr. A. J. MacLeod, Head of Security. The concern or complaint is then passed on to the Chairman of the Traffic and Parking Committee, Dennis

_ Clough.

There have not recently been any official complaints and there- fore the committee has not met since September 25, 1986. The Traffic and Parking Committee is composed of:

Dennis Clough......... Director of Administration and. Finance, Chairman

Jim Griffith.......i2. Director of Student Services

Merritt Crock- etticna: University Librarian

Avy Macbeod®..3..2 Director of Security

In 1986 the faculty represen- tative was Winston Pineau and the student representative was Robert Kelly. At present, there is not a student representative sit- ting on the committee.

If anyone has any questions or comments, I can be reached at the Student Union Office or through the VAX account “OM- BUDSMAN”.

Sincerely, Sean D. MacIntosh, UPEI
