My name is Nadine DeWolfe, lama psychology majorand amin my senior year. This year I am the Vice President External (VPE) with our Student Union. The VPE assesses student affairs outside of the Student Union — and is the liaison with provincial government and other universities. I will also be conducting research i about how students are affected by a variety of | | factors such as tuition increases and the present state . | of our post-secondary education. UPE] is also an | active member of the national organization called CFS | | - the Canadian FederationofStudents. Oneofmy | duties as VPE includes the responsibility of being the | CFS organizer and voting delegate at UPEI. At the | present time one of my concerns is the 3% tax on | student loans. This year a 3% tax has been placed on | student loans. When students go to the bank to process their loan and collect the first instalment, we © will be asked to hand over an amount of money equivalent to 3% of that loan. We still pay interest on this money although we neversee any of it. The student union at UPEI is angry with this tax and we hope everyone supports us in our opposition to it. Although many of you may have already processed your loans, those who haven’ t are encouraged to pay it with a check that has been made up by CFS national | office - itis a legal check so y long as you include your _ | account number. These are available frommeinthe _ student union office. Anyone else who wishes to } express their outrage with the 3% that they payed at the bank is encouraged to sign a form letter that are also available at the Barn. Please feel free to drop in | to see me at anytime if you have any concerns or | questions on this matter involving outside organizations that you believe needs research and attention oncampus. My phone numberat the student | union is 566-0648. Thank you. a _THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE SPITS QUT THE LOVE BOAT. September 19, 1991 UPEI X-Press Page ‘ 1 ¢ a q
