     Alan Hilton - President 
     
     I am' a third year stu— 
     
     dent, the last two of 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     which I have been in formal 
     
     association with our stud-- 
     
     ent union in a variety of 
     
     capacities. I have been a 
     
     member of uor campus Police 
     
     Force, a member of the 
     
     Personnal Board, Student 
     
     Representative on the 
     
     Student Aid Advisory Comm. 
     
     for the Dept. of Education, 
     
     and have served as Speaker 
     
     of the Student Union. 
     
     Daring this tine I have 
     
     come in contact with a 
     
     variety of students repre— 
     
     senting various opinions 
     
     and concerns with regard 
     
    

    
     to the day to day function—— 
     
     ing, and direction of our 
     
    
   
   
    
     $tudent Union . The 
     
    
   
   
    
     President's major role, 
     
     as I see it, is to 00-0? 
     
     dinate and to focus the 
     
     concerns and energies of 
     
    
   
   
    
     our Student Body towards 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     the students' desirable 
     
     oals. 
     
    

    
     What I recognize to be 
     
    

    
     obstacle in. focusing and 
     
     cting in student concerns 
     
     and energies is the rela— 
     
     tionship that has existed 
     
    

    
     tween the Executive of 
     
     the Council and the other 
     
     uncil positions. ’Ib im-

     orFICER 
     
    
   
   
    
     would be one of my first 
     
     and major priorities. This 
     
     I feel , is the first step 
     
     in improving our Student 
     
     Union, and achievinggreat— 
     
     er Student input into the 
     
     decision making process. 
     
    

    
     With regards to AFS, - 
     
     it is my feeling that for 
     
     one reason or another , it 
     
     has failedtc provide re— 
     
     sponsible representation 
     
     on behalf of the varios 
     
     Student Unions, to govern— 
     
     ment. For this reason I have 
     
     have seriously began to 
     
     question the credibility 
     
     of AFS, and at present 
     
     would be in favor of opting 
     
     out of it. What I propose 
     
     as an alternative, is the 
     
     establishment of our own _ 
     
     liason committee to be ap- 
     
     pointed by Council, and to 
     
     act as a direct link be- 
     
     tween our UPEI S.U. and 
     
     the provincial government 
     
     in matters of student con- 
     
     cern. It is my feeling 
     
     that this line of direct 
     
     conmunication could better 
     
     serve and represent our 
     
     student body. 
     
    

    
     'I'nere are other main 
     
     issues, scare of which are: 
     
     The Student Bursary Fund, 
     
     the parking situation on 
     
     campus, The Landlord and 
     
     'Iehant Act, pay increases 
     
     within our Union, and the 
     
     situation with regard to 
     
     our Student Union Building. 
     
    
   
   
    
     I WOUId encourage you 
     
     to attend the 
     
     speaches, and to feel free 
     
     to cone to talk with me 
     
     about your concerns and 
     
     ideas for our Student Union.

     Kevin Gauthier - President 
     
    
   
   
    
     Working with student un 
     
     union has always been one 
     
     of my favorite interests. 
     
     In high school I worked on 
     
    
   
   
    
     student council for 4 years 
     
    
   
   
    
     and I've served as Vice- 
     
     President of the union 
     
     Iere at UPEI for tlne past 
     
     yeah/After all these years 
     
     experience there is little 
     
     about the operations and 
     
     duties of the Student 
     
     Union that I'm not famaliar 
     
     with. A Student Union has 
     
    
   
   
    
     2 main functions at a unit . 
     
    
   
   
    
     versity: to provide activ~ 
     
     ities for students, and to 
     
     provide support and assis— 
     
     tance for students who are 
     
     having problem with the 
     
     administration or others. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The Union lnere at UPEI has 
     
    
   
   
    
     always fulfilled the first 
     
     function in great style, 
     
    
   
   
    
     SJDENT'S MEN 
     
    
   
   
    
     and will continue to next 
     
     year. But the second func- 
     
     ticn, helping students who 
     
     are having problems, has 
     
     been badly neglected. As 
     
     president , Host of my at- 
     
     tention would be devoted 
     
     to representing student 
     
     concerns to the university \ 
     
     administration, government 
     
     and the public. Individual 
     
     students who need help " 
     
     will get it, and protectinc 
     
     the rights of students as ' 
     
     a group will be my major 
     
     concerns. Pigs and Pubs 
     
     and carnivals can look aft 
     
     after themselves because 
     
     ther's always scmecine to 
     
     run them. A president must 
     
     be concerned with the is- 
     
     sues and interests of the 
     
     students as a whole.
