Howard Beattie
“You have to look at the job from two sides ~ good ideas and realism. ”
So says H0ward Beattie, who's running for Vice President Internal in the March 7 election.
Howard has sat on Council for two years as Business Rep, is on the Board of Directors for the Services div— ision of the Canadian Feder-
ation of Students as this year’s representative from
P.E.l., sits on the Academic
Planning Committee, has worked for the Student ‘Union for two years, has
been booking the SU movies this year, and is concerned by how students are ser— viced by the Union execu— tive.
He sees the VP Internal job as two-fold. The academic aspect involves sitting on Senate to express students’ concerns and to provide in- formation to students about Senate, while the social side includes planning any events and activities for the Barn, such as Main Events and Winter Carnival.
Howards wants to reach more students by catering to more than the beer events in the Barn. He thinks the SU
has a potentially great impact on the provincial government student loan
formula, and would like to see workshops given on student aid. '
In his opinion, the SU and Student‘services will have to try to get along better, since their basic goals are the same. He’d like to review a pro- posal made by Heather Love earlier this term which would mean the hiring of a full-time operations director for the Barn
Howard believes his ex- perience in meeting execu- tives from Student Unions across Canada has made him especially aware of the many different ways there are to help students, but encourages everyone to vote on March 7, “no matter how they vote.”
Marc DoWon
And or next contestant for the job of Vice President Internal is Marc (with a ‘c’) Doiron.
Marc’s been involved in Student Union activities for the last year, is on various committees and sub- organizations, and is a past Vice President of the Charlottetown Javcees.
If he’s elected, Marc plans to work toward having a food service in the Barn so that the building can become an even more popular meeting place than it is now. He sees this as a move which can only
benefit students and giVe them a needed service.
In Marc’s view, the duties of the VP Internal are to generally promote social activities of the Student Union, to co-ordinate cam— - pus advertising of events, to be a supervisor of com- mittees such as Fall Fest and Winter Carnival, to oversee the functions of bartenders, CP’s, the General Manager of the SU, and to be respon- sible for the Barn, including the Panther Lounge.
He plans to promote involvement by getting more students involved in com- mittees, and thinks the food service in the Barn will contribute by drawing more students to the centre of SU action.
In conclusion, Marc says he wouldn’t change much from the manner in which the current VP Internal is operating, and that he doesn’t see a need for much change in the role of the executive.
“Their role is to promote student invovlement.”

Betty’s in charge of this year’s Social Committee, and was co-chair of the 1983 Orientation Committee. She’s worked on her freshman class executive, the Winter Carnival and Fall Fest committees, as well as the Bernardine I-Iall house com- mittee last year.
She’s a receptionist at the,
SU office this year, is working with the present VP Internal, and attended a student leadership con- ference at UNB last fall.
She says her duties would be to organize the kind of social activities students want, to Oversee the running of the Panther Lounge, to coordinate different com- mittees and sub-organiza- tions, to sit on Senate, to represent the SU President if he or she is absent, and to work with the rest of the executive to make sure students get what they want.
One of Betty’s priorities for next year would be to find out and act on students’ wishes. She thinks the execu- tive should be a voice to the administration and faculty, and always act in the best
Betty wants to make stu— dents aware of the facilities availabel for their use, and aware of what the Student Union‘is all about.
“The Student Union is there for all of them, not just for the executive,” she finishes.
Mike Kyathfield
The alphabetically final hopeful for VP Internal is Mike Kyathfield (it’s pro- nounced just like it’s spelled, okay?)
He’s been looking forward to running for the position ever since working for the 1982-83 VP Internal", un— loading band equipment and helping out around the BArn. He was treasurer of his fresh— man class, and was involved in last year’s Campus Cabaret and Chaplaincy Coffeehouses.

kinds of activities, not only
pubsl. Booking bands, adver~ tising, cosigning checks,
evaluating the performance of the SU’s general manager, overseeing CP’S and 'bar— tenders, and sitting on Senate and Council are aslo re- quired, he says.
Mike believes the SU executive should be helping students find information on loans and careers. He’d also promote more outdoor activities, such as barbecues, at the beginning of each year.
An increase in the number of opening week events would help students widen their circle of friends, he says, so that everyone knows more people and feels more comfortable on campus. More inter-residence hap« penings would accomplish this too, according to Mike.
Mike feels he can do a good job for students and he says that, having worked while attending university for the last two years, he‘iknows he’d be'w’ell 'adjus‘te‘d'to the extra load being VP Internal would bring.
