At the October 25 Student Union meeting, one of the more ' important motions passed was the proposal to sponsor the Student Union representative of El Salvador who was here on campus Nov. 3, 1981. the council that the ’ Union would pay one-half of, his eitpenses to a cf $150.00. It is important to note ‘ that this representative

Represent— atives to attend are nominated from universities from across Canada.

Regarding'Thursday evening discussion, he notes: "The needs of third world peoples have been emphasized and detailed

in recent issues of newsmagazines because

. of the Cancun Conferences

on North/South relations. Progress in world develop— ment Will encounter many obstacles, even if all parties can maintain goodyill and suppress their suspicions. Our panel seeks to explore the theme of politics

within third world countries,

within developed nations and international agencies,

and in the realm of resources in the global

economic development will rest on political processes, the impulses of humanitarianism notwithstanding.

The public is invited to attend. A question and answer period will follow the panel presentation and the evening will cOnclude

with informal discussion

over coffee.

Ultimately,

pation by the council members. I am in~total

' agreement as there is a

great lack of discussion on important motions passed by council. At the Oct. 17 meeting, there was no discussion concerning the $750.00 donation to the Theatre Society (not $150.00 as stated in the last article). The . motion was passed with no questions asked. At the last meeting, it took approximately two minutes to pass the $100,000. budget. However, discussion concerning pubs and special events at the Barn occupied at least twenty minutes. ‘ This subject -

concerning lack of

discussion prompted little

or no discussion. We students should be Concerned as the Council's decisions directly affect

us. The Student Union reflects and represents the our campus presents to the PUbliC- Why is there no reaction or even any action by students? We're making the council's job too easy! They need to be challenged! And we are the only ones to give them that challenge.

Next meeting is Sunday, November 8, 7:30 p.m. in the Barn. '
