Orrac‘claimed SU Treasurer, states plans

By Brian MacLeod ‘

“I do feel good about gett- ing the position, but it’s ,too bad apathy has reached such a state that no one else would run for treasurer,” says John Orr, commenting on gaining the title of Student .Union ' Treasurer by acclaim‘ation. A

The third year business stu- dent says indifference has gotten Out of hand. _

He was always interested in, student politics but never had the opportunity to be directly involved. ‘After seeing the Student Unibn posters“ an-

nouncing the election, Orr I

thought about it over the February break and “decided togo forit.” A

Because he has done rea- sonably well in- a number of accounting courses Orr feels qualified for the position of Treasurer. 2

“I’ve not been directly in- volved squabbles in the past few years, so I don’t feel I am prejudiced by petty politics,” says Orr.

FREDERICTON (CUP) — After two years of feuding with the University of Nesz Brunswick student newspaper The Brunswickan, a former student union president John _Bosnitch is determined to start his own. ‘ The Standard, with a pro- jected circulation of 5000 to 10,000, will focus on student issues, particularly on student rights versus university admi- nistration, Bosnitch said.

“(The new paper) will allow for the expression of many of the opinions re- gularly censored from The Brunswickan,” he said.

The Brunswickan had done a “dismal” job of fighting for students, because it doesn’t have the guts to stand up to the administration,” Bosnitch. said. The Bruns. wickan, a 10,000 circulation weekly, is 119 years old.

The Standard hoped The Brunswickan‘ would give

Another of Orr’s main concerns is the cost of stu- dent fees. “Sixty dollars is really too much of an in- erease, and it would be nice to see it lowered if at all possible,” said the acclaimed treasurer.

Orr also said WUSC sounds like a good idea, but 'it worried what will become of

“Issues like this tend to get‘ swept under the rug very easily in the following years,” Orr said. He fears the two dollar donation for foreign students may just be- come part of the student fee.
