Greetings!
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Just
      a
      short
      note
      from
      your
      friendly
      VP
      External.
     
     
      It
      has
      been
      a
      busy
      semester
      so
      far
      here
      at
      the
     
     
      Student
      Union,
      with
      conferences,
      meetings,
      and
     
    
   
   
    
     
      more
      meetings
      one
      certainly
      gains
      a
      perspective
      of
      ©
     
    
   
   
    
     
      how
      involved
      and
      fascinating
      on-campus
      politics
      can
     
     
      really
      be.
      So,
      while
      I’m
      on
      the
      subject,
      if
      you
      ever
     
     
      see
      a
      position
      vacant
      with
      the
      student
      union,
      why
     
     
      not
      give
      it
      a
      shot?
      I
      often
      here
      comments
      such
      as,
     
     
      "I
      don’t
      have
      any
      experience"
      or
      "I
      don’t
      enjoy
     
     
      speaking
      in
      front
      of
      large
      crowds."
      One
      can
      only
     
     
      gain
      experience
      by
      trying.
      Once
      you’ve
      tried
      it,
     
     
      you'll
      like
      it
      -
      believe
      me.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Volunteers
      are
      the
      backbone
      of
      a
      Student
      Union.
     
     
      Several
      committees
      and
      organizations
      on
      campus
     
     
      require
      volunteers
      in
      order
      for
      these
      groups
      to
     
     
      function
      properly.
      Volunteers
      provide
      vital
     
     
      information
      input,
      provide
      badly
      needed
      hands
      and
     
     
      energy
      and
      volunteers
      provide
      spirit.
      Think
      about
     
     
      putting
      some
      time
      into
      your
      university
      and
      get
     
     
      involved.
      The
      best
      part
      of
      volunteering
      is
      realizing
     
     
      that
      there
      are
      results
      and
      that
      you’ve
      played
      a
      part
     
     
      in
      making
      UPEI
      an
      institution
      to
      feel
      proud
      about.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      So
      now
      that
      I
      am
      plugging
      committees
      and
     
     
      organizations,
      and
      now
      that
      I’ve
      got
      you
      hooked
      I
     
     
      can
      tell
      you
      that
      you
      can
      submit
      your
      name
      at
      the
     
     
      Barn
      (just
      walk
      toward
      Towers).
      Two
      committees
     
     
      that
      might
      interest
      you
      are
      the
      CFS
      committee
      and
     
     
      the
      Environmental
      Action
      ("Green")
      Committee.
      As
     
     
      you
      know,
      UPEI
      is
      a
      proud
      member
      of
      the
     
     
      Canadian
      Federation
      of
      Students.
      The
      CFS
     
     
      committee
      would
      discuss
      campaigns
      for
      students,
     
     
      lobby
      actions
      and
      would
      prepare
      for
      certain
      events
     
     
      such
      as
      the
      recent
      National
      Student
      Day.
      If
      you
      are
     
     
      interested
      in
      letting
      the
      government
      know
      just
      how
     
     
      dissatisfied
      you
      are
      about
      how
      they
      treat
      you
      as
      a
     
     
      student
      then
      this
      is
      a
      committee
      you
      would
      be
     
     
      interested
      in.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      Environmental
      Action
      Committee
      is
      a
      new
     
     
      group
      or
      campus,
      just
      accepted
      by
      Student
      Council
     
     
      as
      a
      standing
      committee.
      This
      group
      will
      be
     
     
      comprised
      of
      students
      and
      members
      of
      the
      public
     
     
      who
      are
      genuinely
      concerned
      about
      the
      state
      of
      our
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      UPEI
      X-Press
     
    
   
   
    
     
      November
      1st,
      1990
     
    
   
   
    
     
      planet.
      Public
      education,
      lobbying
      and
      researching
     
     
      would
      be
      some
      of
      the
      important
      mandates
      this
     
     
      committee
      would
      follow.
      This
      work
      would
      not
      only
     
     
      involve
      the
      universities
      impact
      on
      the
      environment
     
     
      but
      would
      also
      scrutinize
      governmental
      policies
      and
     
     
      individual
      business’s
      environmental
      conscience.
     
     
      Remember
      that
      it
      is
      all
      too
      easy
      to
      pass
      the
      back
     
     
      on
      this
      issue
      -
      get
      involved!
     
    
   
   
    
     
      If
      you
      have
      any
      questions
      at
      all
      about
      what
      we
      do
     
     
      at
      your
      student
      union,
      about
      CFS
      or
      if
      you
      have
      any
     
     
      concerns
      that
      you
      feel
      aren’t
      being
      accurately
     
     
      represented
      then
      let
      us
      know.
      We
      will
      be
      more
     
     
      than
      happy
      to
      help
      out.
      Solidarity.
