The cadre, April a, 1975, 5392 10 Speaker Of The Student This being the last edi— tion of the Cadre, I felt compelled to summarize _the Student Union's affairs over the past three months as well as look at some upcoming eve ents for next year. Things have undoubtably picked up around U.P.E.I. and the S.U. since the election of the- new council. Student inter— est on the whole has picked up and more students are con— cious of the ability of the S.U. to function for them. Participation at council mer etings has increased and the students as a whole are at least aware that we have a Senate. There‘s even a few turning up for meetings as well. Communication is taking on a new dimension and Rick Huyck hopes to keep the stu- dents informhd as to what is happening. He is already busy planning for orientation. His main concern will be Fresh- man students. He hopes to make the freshmen more aware of his role in the universi— ty community and even more important,increase their un- derstanding of the role of student union and other fac— tions of the school and their ability to use these insti- tutions to make their learn— * ISCP OD.

It is hoped that faculty will also turn up next Sept- ember and help get this show on the road. Exposure to ab— out four hundred freshmen other than on a classroom le- vel may‘give them an exper- ience that they might have been missing the last few years.Maybea little contact between these two groups wo- uld give this university a bit of youthful exuberance. It's about time we attempted to abolish the "greater than thou" attitude and replace it with a little direct com- munication. Neither student nor prof is an island suffi- cient unto itself; President Baker has as -well an individual profess— or's ability as well as rel— evancy and course content. This data will then be tabu- lated and distributed to in— coming freshmen thus provid- ing them with a student's view of the courses listed in the U.P.E.I. calendar. It is hoped that this will pro— vide in time an increase in prof—student communication on a one-to-one'basisgt N i like you always knew you would. _ you r lnltlaIS and Now thatyou have your degree, our capital, we can . .

If anyone is interest— ed I suggest that he/she drop by Student Union and talk with Tom. There's definately lots of jobs open in these and other areas. If students don't fill these who will?. Tom also plans to start wor- king this summer on a new S.U.-athletic complex. Hope-' fully by fall he'll have a few leads. Ray Shalala, the new SU Treasurer, has informed me about his policy concerning finanCes at U.PE.I. Any quer— ‘ies concerning residence fees late fees, bursaries, tui- tién fees or any related in; fofmation. He hopes to pro— vide direct communication between the vault in the ad- f». ministration and the student himself. Ray will be more than happy to help. I'm sure Dennis Clough and Murray Ste- venson are more than anxious to have students know where, when, and how there menies are spent as well as the re- asoning behind thESe expen— ses. Ray, in conjunction with Mickey Place, the S.U. Busi— ness Manager, expects to fu— rnish a monthy statement on whereyournmney is going..He as well plans to make any Board of Governors Meetings' public. President/Baker has also informed me that the rules of Senate have been collect— ed and willlsoon be ratified by Senate. Any student wish- ing a copy of these rules may for the asking pick one up at the president's office or from myself.
