     STUDENT UNION MEETING 
     
    
   
   
    
     MARIAN HALL (CPS) -— Sunday 
     
     evening, October 22, the 
     
     Student Union Council of the 
     
     University of Prince Edward 
     
     Island held one of its most 
     
     historic meetings. With 
     
    

    
     many controversial topics . 
     
     on the agenda and attendance 
     
     at an all—time high, the I 
     
     S.U. Council almost succeeded 
     
     in achieving its purpose. I ' 
     
     Evidence of this, and def— 
     
     initely the highlight of | 
     
     the evening, was the defeat 
     
     (yes, that is right - I 
     
     defeat) of a motion put ' 
     
     forward by two members of 
     
    

    
     the executive. Well, I 
     
     actually, what happened 
     
    

    
     as that the Council I 
     
     members decided they wanted 
     
    

    
     to vote on a motion concern— I 
     
     ing Radio U.P.E.I. now 
     
    

    
     instead of having the motion 
     
    
   
   
    
     tabled for the mext meeting, 
     
     during which time the 
     
    
   
   
    
     question more closely. The 
     
     motion to table was moved 
     
     .y Bob Gray, External Vice 
     
     President, and seconded by 
     
     Bill MacIntyre, Vice | 
     
     'resident Comptroller. 
     
    

    
     ether this was the right ' 
     
     decision or not, is, 
     
    
   
   
    
     irrelevant at this point, but BARN: 
     
    
   
   
    
     e would just like to con- 
     
     gradulate the council membersl 
     
     for their spunk. We didn't 
     
     think they had it in them! | 
     
     For those of you who would like| 
     
     to give them a pat on the back 
     
     in this "Their finest hour", 
     
     let's hear it for the 
     
     following people who were in 
     
     attendance (although some 
     
     were late): ' , 
     
    

    
     Pat Duffy, Rosemary.Cur1ey, ' 
     
     Bob Gray, Lenny McCardle, 
     
    

    
     Keith Milligan, Bruce Grass, ' 
     
     Irene McCardle, Angela 
     
    

    
     Coughlin, Marion MacEachern, 
     
     Linda Lidstone, Bill MacIntyre 
     
     and David Curley. 
     
    

    
     Getting down to brass tacks, 
     
     though, we were quite im— 
     
     pressed by the range of topics ' 
     
     covered, the decisions made, 
     
     and the short period of time 
     
     covered by the meeting. Most ' 
     
     of the credit for this must 
     
     be given to Rosemary Curley 
     
     who quite adequately chaired ' 
     
     the meeting. A resume of the 
     
     proceedings follows: .‘ 
     
    
   
   
    
     BUSINESS MANAGER: It was stated 
     
     that "many students" were 
     
     in favour of hiring a 
     
     Business Manager, depending 
     
     on his role. It was moved 
     
     then, that the Student 
     
     Union look into hiring a, I 
     
     full—time Business Manager 
     
    
   
   
    
     who would act in an 
     
     advisory capacity only, 
     
     cheques being signed by 
     
     the Treasurer. It was 
     
     pointed out that this could I 
     
     provide some financial 
     
     stability from one Student 
     
     Union to the next and would 
     
     also eliminate the position 
     
     of Comptroller and External 
     
     Vice President. The de- 
     
     cision was unanimous.

     Student Union, the Council MARITIME STUDENT UNION, I 
     
     CONFERENCE :, 
     
    
   
   
    
     again discussed the ques- 
     
     tion of the missing and 
     
    

    
     much maligned position 
     
    

    
     of Ombudsman. It was 
     
     decided that this position i 
     
     must be filled immediately 
     
     and, therefore, nomina— 
     
     tions were opened. Three 
     
     names were entered: '

     Mitchell and Earl Acorn. l 
     
     After a short description 
     
    

    
     of each nominee was given, 
     
     the Council voted and O'Brien 
     
     was elected hands down. We 
     
     would like to congratulate' 
     
     the Student Union Council

     discussion, including the , 
     
     cleanliness of the facilities

     It was suggested 
     
     by President Pat Duffy ' 
     
     that U.P.E.I. host a 
     
     conference of Student

     Maritime Provinces who 
     
     have been discussing the 
     
     possibility of closer 
     
     cooperation with each 
     
     other and even forming 
     
     some sort of association. 
     
     This conference is to be 
     
     held November 17 to 19. 
     
     The motion to host this 
     
     conference was carried

     IBUDGET: It was revealed that 
     
     the Student Union budget. 
     
     will be released soon, 
     
     after clarification of 
     
     certain minor details. 
     
    
   
   
    
     |0THER AFFAIRS: 'There was also 
     
     quite a bit of discussion 
     
     on the up-coming Open 
     
     House, the insurance issue 
     
     exams on Election Day, the 
     
     situation concerning Pig 
     
     'n Whistle and Course 
     
     Evaluation. Of course, 
     
     the most heated debate of 
     
     the whole meeting centered 
     
    
   
   
    
     director of Radio U.P.E.I 
     
     presented the council 
     
     with a proposal that is 
     
     intended to improve the 
     
     operation of the radio 
     
     station. He pointed out 
     
     that, as it now exists, 
     
     the radio station does 
     
     not reach Bernadine or 
     
     Marian Hall and is very 
     
     unreliable in Memorial 
     
     Hall. However, he 
     
     pointed out that this_: 
     
     would be expensive and‘ 
     
     ,would run about $3,000' 
     
     over the radio's budget. 
     
     After defeating a motion 
     
     to.table for further 
     
     consideration the Council‘ 
     
     voted to accept this 
     
     proposal and another 
     
     motion to close down the 
     
     radio station until this 
     
     new system is in operation 
     
     which is expected to be 
     
     after Christmas sometime. 
     
    
   
   
    
     around the language used 
     
     by the Cadre. This life— 
     
     and-death matter drew 
     
     many comments, mostly 
     
     condemning the language 
     
     itself. However, after 
     
     everyone cleansed their 
     
     souls, it was decided 
     
     that no censorship would 
     
     be applied by the Student 
     
     Union.
