Mary Anne

Hello Everybody!

My name is Mary Anne FitzPatrick and I’m eager to be your next Vice President Operations.

This is a very impor- tant Student Union position and even if student pol- itics doesn’t interest you, you should still be concerned with who will be your next VPO. This person will co- ordinate the activities of the Panther Lounge, the Cam- pus Police, will work with CIMN, and will work with the sub-organizations as they plan their pubs., Part of your student fees. will, be in the (hopefully). capable.hands of the VPO.as he/she plans the social agenda for the Student Union.

I feel that I can serve you well if I am elected next week. As well as past involv- ment as President of Morell High School Student Council

VP OPERATIONS Tony Doyle

‘Fitzpatrick

85-86, I am presently’ secre- tary of the Sophomore class executive and have been highly involved with the Stu- dent Union as Chairman of both the Octoberfest ’87 and Winter Carnival ’88 commit- tees. These two events were quite successful and proved that a group of people work- ing together can do almost anything if they set their minds to it and are willing to invest time and hard work.

If I am chosen as your new VPO [ll put my all into the job. I would like every- one to know that the basic principle I will be utilizing is one of non-alienation — I will try to ensure that everyone is brought into the act to make 1988-89 the best year at the Barn yet! My door will al- ways be open and I will be asking for input.

It is important, however, that you do take the time to vote. One vote may not seem like much, but it helps ensure that as many students as pos- sible are represented. After all, that’s what we’re here to do — represent you — don’t forget that after the elections either. If something both- ers you, or you have some- thing to contribute, that’s your right.

Thank you for your time. Mary Anne FitzPatrick «

Dear Students:

My name is Joan Mas- terson and I am running for the position of Vice Presi- dent Finance of the Student Union Executive.

The VP Finance is re- sponsible for the financial administration of the UPEI Student Union which cludes such duties as prepar- ing financial statements, re- Ports and budgets; maintain- ing a clear and accurate ac- count of all financial trans- actions of the UPEI Stu- dent Union; approving pay- rolls; authorizing expendi- tures; and overseeing the du- tles of the General Manager. My studies as a 3rd year Business student majoring in Accounting coupled with my related past work experience at the St. Thomas Univer-

in-

VP Finance Joan Masterson

sity Business Office and with a major wholesaler, have given my neg and abil- ities necessary, to effectively carry out these duties. Before coming to UPEI, I completed a diploma pro- gram in Business Technology at the New Brunswick Com- munity College in Moncton

I am currently in my sec- ond year of the Arts pro- gram, majoring in Psychol- ogy.

This past year I was on the Sophomore Class Execu- tive as well as being involved with the CFS National Week of Action.

One thing I would like to achieve for next year would be to have more student in- put as to the types of pubs held, in hope of increasing student involvement and a higher level of school spirit.

My main concern is Wet/Dry pubs. It as though quite a few peo- ple are concerned with the low Freshmen participation at these pubs this year, but there is little or no cern focused at the incoming freshmen of next year, who are not able to defend these pubs.

In conclusion I would like to thank the Gem for giv- ing this opportunity to the candidates and also wish my opponents, Mary Anne Fitz- Patrick and Kirstin Lund the best of luck in the elections.

Sincerely,

Tony Doyle

clubs or societies on cam- pus in order to fully benefit from the university experi- ence and to enhance the uni- versity community. This be- lief has followed me to UPEI where in my freshman year I was the freshman represen- tative for the Business Soci- ety and where I obtained a position as.a Student Assis-
