This is a letter from an elected councillor of the Student Union, elect— ed by you, to: anybody in~ terested enough to read' I this.— You better take a pretty good look at this weeks Cadre because it might be the last one you will see. You_better look at some_of the other, S.U. operated enterprises on and around campus, because if you don't look now it might be too late. Some ex— amples of this might be: Pig n' Whistles, Friday Pubs, Barn, Day Care Centre Radio CIMN, yearbook, Coffe shops, Sunday movies, étc.’ The reason I say this is because in two weeks there is to be a Second General Student Meeting. If a quorum Of 150 is not reached then the Student Council is going to resign and the Student Union , Inc. is 0 dissolved. I would advise you to remember that it might be a long boring winter with nothing to do except go to‘a movie or club downtown. It's easy to sit back and say that there will be lots of people show up without having to go yourself. After all there are 1500 pther students that go here. Well of those 1500 people only 20‘show— ed enough interest to go to the fiirst meeting. Twenty people interested out of 1500. YOU"re reading this right now so what was your excuse. You did'nt know about it! Why didnt you? Jan't you read? Are you deaf? It was announced in
the Cadre, there were posters put up, it was\
,about it.
Station, all or most of the councillors were talking What are some of your excuses? You did'nt have time, you had mid— terms, a date, were sick, you werent on the Island, you were dead. 'I think the last is true for the majority of the students that attend this Univer- sity. ,The only time they are seen is Registration and Graduation.
Great! I'm Happy for you! You're here to get an education. I'm really happy for you. I ‘ . suppose the rest of us are just here for the fun' of it. I suppose we run for Council, and apply for positions on committees just because we have nothing better to do. Or is it that we are ego—tripping and ‘Power Mong ers? After
,'all isn't sitting on

the Student Union? Its easy to call down

the people that try
to keep things running around here. Why don't youvget up off your col—
‘cective-asses and help out
on some of the committees? It seems that most people think that all the council
_does is run a Pig n' Whistle ' and a movie once a week.
How many people know what the Personnel Board, StudenTJudiciary ‘Court',e Board of Governors* Com— mittee on Student in- volvement and dozen other committees actually do? How many people have actual— ly seen or heard tell of 2 one of these groups?
The Cadre has been advertising openings on Committees since the lst edition in September. Most positions are still open. The only ones that have been applied for are the paying jovs, such as Campus Police, and Bar— tenders.

All I am trying to say in this letterris that the future of the Student Union is in your hands. If you are interested enough in whats happen— ing just be sure you reserve time to attend the General Student Meeting in Duffy on Thursday, December 2nd11300 Pm
Even if you don't give a damn about the Student Council you should just try to imagine what the campus is going to be like after the meeting if there isn't a quorum and the Student Union closes down.
