ests. What else is there that you would like to see happen? What ever it is, I suggest that you use one of the two avenues I outlined earlier i in my letter to make your concerns known.

Lastly, I’d like to share my point of view on the lounge. I do agree with you about the smoke - it is pretty bad and I am also, anon-smoker. However, it’s a fact of life that people smoke and there’s not much that I can do to stop it. That is, other than ask people to refrain form smoking in my presence, which is what I suggest you do oe bothers you that much. The furniture - big deal... that!!! Maybe we could iouble (or even triple) soci- ety fees next year to buy new furniture. How well received do you think that would be by the majority of the students?? What about you working along with

the society and the Dean to ask the School of Busi- ness to consider helping us out. It would certainly be more effective than your letter.

I guess the main point of my letter is this: Ihave been very involved throughout my four years in various levels of student affairs and I work hard to do a good job and represent my fellow students. It really irks me when some people complain and complain,

but never seem to get up and do something to further their causes!! I’ll sum it up like this - change doesn’t happen by itself!! Take your concerns to someone who will hear them out and help you do something about them!!!

By the way, I think the society is doing a great job this year!!! And please get you facts straight...out of the four undergrad faculties on CaTupus. Business ranks third. Therefore, it is not ‘‘one of the biggest’’

Sincerely, A Society Member Who Does Care

Dear Editor,

I was reading last weeks issue of the X-Press when I stumbled upon a letter from ‘‘A Concerned Business Student’’. 1 was appalled to learnthe state ofthe — Business Lounge is so terrible that Business students tend to go to other lounges. Well, I can tell you that none of them go to the Math and Computer Science lounge.

There is a very good reason that no Business students goto the Math/CS lounge: is doesn’t exist.

It is true that we are not a large department, but does this mean that we don’t deserve a place to meet?

It is also true that there are other faculties that do not have lounges of there own. However, most of them do have a lounge that they can share with another depart- ment ortwo. We don’t even have that much.

I do agree with ‘‘Concerned’’ that the Business stu- dents should have a lounge that they can be proud of. However, all of the other faculties should too.

The Math and Computer Science Department, like

other departments, is suffering from lack of space. Memorial is overcrowded with Math/CS, Psychology and Education. But, should we be denied a lounge just — because we are not located in the Main Building?

Back to the Business lounge, if the Business students really don’t like it, maybe they would like to trade with the Math and Computer Science students? We would be more than glad to put up with lumpy, ugly,

- smoky furniture in exchange for none atall.

Dear Editor,

Our Constitutional Crisis, notice I did not say sup- posed crisis, did not start with Brian Mulroney’s Tories in 1987 in Meech Lake. It started in 1980 when Pierre Trudeau decided to patriate the Constitu- tion and let the fate of Canada rest with Canadians as ~ opposed to the British Parliamnet. The crisis occured — when in] 982 the Constitution Act passed withoutthe signature of Quebec.

In 1987 Brian Mulroney took his first ministers to Meech Lake ina noble effort to bring Quebec into the | Constitution and thus fully into the country. Mulroneyy did make mistakes in doing this. One mistake was leaving Native groups out of the decision | process. Another mistake was not alllowing the | Canadian people to participate. Alsoheallowedthe |
