He main- tained that he was serious in intending to resign. The story was released by Radio U.P.E.I. A number of students reacted by asking Ross to reconsider. It was agreed that the resign- ation would be discussed at an Executive meeting on Sunday, November 15, and that Ross would remain in office pending the results of the meeting.

Committee work and other necessary duLies are not the responsibility of the Council as a whole but of the Executive. Council members have on three occasions defeated motions which would have required them to put in one hour per week working in the Union Offices with a member of the Executive. At the Executive session Ross explained that _ his duties were hard to define specifically. He stated he was constantly at one type of meeting or another. This was in answer to a charge that he was not doing enough work for the Union. Ross said that his resignation was prompted by health and study problems. He explained the need for more involvement by all members of Council. He told the Executive it was their duty, collectively, to provide leadership and UNIVERSITY initiative for the rest of the students. CA After considerable discussion it"was decided 7 M not to accept the resignation. Itwas the con- 1 ~ . . sensus of the meeting the the Executive, and ' - Council members, should try again, and if things A I » - still didn’t work out then it would be time to i get out. ‘ i Specially trained Manpower Coun- sellors maintain constant contact with employers and recruiting rep- resentatives.
