‘no participation’ say committees

Many student cmrmittees m campus are ﬁnding it difﬁcult to ﬁmction effect- ively due to sheer lack of interest by U.P.E.l. students Some committees are reluctant to initiate programs because they fear their prograns will be sparsly attended, while others feel that they must close out operations due to lack of student staff members

At this university there are many organizations in which students can get involved to help make their un-

iversity life more enjoyable for them-

selves and help build a university which we can be proud of. Unfor- tunately the attitude here at _UPEI is that unless I get paid for some- thing I won’t do it. Too many stu- dents think the committee they are interested in is the one which re- quires most of the work. They fail to realize that other students are putting many hours without getting paid for it, so that students may beneﬁt more from being at the un- iversity.

When you go to a dance on Friday night you don’t stop to think that people put in hours making the nec- eSsary arrangements for the dance plus those who work at the door at night. If the dance is not held then you complain because there is no dance but you are not willing to

' give a few hours a week to help out.

You want things to go on but you want someone else to do the work. You are willing to say someone else didn’t arrange a dance but you do not offer to help. It is time you stu- dents started asking yourselves how much you are willing to give to make for a better university rather than sitting back and accusing ot- hers of not doing their job. The opportunities are there right within your own Student Union so there is no excuse for people not getting involved.

The time for you to get involved is right now or else you won’t have a social committee or a carnival or a radio station. The Union has a tight money p olicygbecause money is not (Continued on page 3) 000000000000

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

For the past three weeks six U.P.E.I. students have been sleeping on a floor in one room in sleeping bag in an apartment already crowded by eight other students

Throughout the summer these same stu- dents ccnducted a futile search for apart- ments and houses always meeting with the same opposition. The majority of land- lords refuse to rent to students

Why don’t you live in residence as their is space available, you might ask?The an— swer is obvious. Even if we were all get- ting the full amount of the loan, after pay- ing both tuition and residence fees we would be left with thirty to forty dollars for books, personal incidentals, recreation etc. Cleariy an impossible situation.

Finally an opportunity seemed to pre sent itself in the form of this house owned by the University. This house is located at 285 Kent Street, the former Student Union Building

We went through what we thought were

the proper channels. First going to Mr.

Grifﬁths who is in charge of student housing We talked with Mr. Grifﬁths on the possibility of renting the house. As far as he was concerned, he was in comp- lete agreement to renting the house as he understood the predicament we were in. Mr. Grifﬁths then refened us to Murray Stevenson, the Bursar to clear up matters of ﬁnances and other details concerning the horse. Mr. Stevenson was also in agreement in renting the house to us We were satisﬁed with the suggested rent and other details worked out by the Bursar.

But, as in the usual decision making pro cess at U.P.EI., HEhad to get the pemris- sion of Mr. Baker, President of the University.

r Reshard Editor of Square Deal,

First in the series of stories was the house was given to ‘The Square Deal’ a Charlottetown newspaper having no afﬁl- iation with the university whatsoever. During a tdephone conversation with

Domain

King Ronald surveys

it was found that he was not aware that he was to receive the house. The next

story to come from the President’s ofﬁce was that Marc Gallant was to use the

house for layout of University publicat- ions, which requires cnly two rooms of the house. Both G001 and Gallant agreed to the idea of letting us use the rest of the house for living accommodations as they realized the seriousness of the situation.

But yet another story was to unfdd before us. Now according to Baker the house was unﬁt for habitation. After- cmsulting the health authorities of Prin- ce Edward Island, it was afﬁrmed that the house satisﬁed rental regrlations As this story goes to press we are awaiting what will undoubtedly be another highly inventive reply from Baker.

upei elects senate

A change in personnel, but no vis- ible change in ideology, seems to be the result of faculty elections to the Senate.

The vote, taken on Friday, elect- ed thirteen members of the faculty to the University Senate; ﬁve for three-year terms, four for two years and four for one.

In the future, faculty members will be elected for three-year terms,

g withzone-third resigning annually.

One-year newly-elected members are: Wei-Ching Lin, Physics; Leon Louks, Chemistry; Robert Ellison, Business; Clarence Murphy, Socio- logy.

The new two—year members are: Roy Campbell. Psychology: James Kelly, Classics. Doris Anderson. Ho

me economics; and Ivan Dowling, Mathematics.

The new three-year members are: Fred Driscoll, History, Iain Gallow- way, Modern Languages; Frank Led- well, English; Lawson Drake, Biol-— ogy; and David Morrison, Religious studies.

At present, there are six students on Senate;four of them (Paul Lynch, Dennis MacKay, Richard Montigny, and Gerry Gallant) will be replaced in October. The other two (Connie Cullen and Jim Ross) are members by virtue of their positions on the executive of the Students Union. They will be replaced automatically when the new SU executive takes office in March.
