Treasurer John Neville reported on the set adver- .tising rates made by the

Sun's editor Larry Green

' and CIMN station manager

Maurice Rodgerson. ln‘a previous meeting council had been upset over the low advertising rates that the student union's news- paper had been using. Acc- ording to Advertising Mgr. John Flemming the union has been locked into several long term contracts for the newspaper, at the low rates. The new rates are now $96 for a full page ad. An advertiser who

'places h-8 ads will pay \80 dollars a page or #8 a

page for a year round con- tract. Smaller ads such as one half, one quarter, or one eighth a page will be priced according to size. Communications Officer

‘Mike Mahon designated that

the middle pages of the St- dent Directory be used for advert sing only at the to- tal cost set at $320. This concept was to offset the price of publishing.

A special meeting of co- uncil has been called for Sun. Sept. 25 so that the

.personel board's recommend- ations may be passed by the student council.
