CFS rep. sought The Student Union is looking for nominations for the position of Canadian Federation of Students National Com- mittee representative for P.E.I. The rep should expect a heavy load of duties, with two national conferences and two executive meetings (all outside the province) in the next year. Also, the SU wants to orient the new rep in the ways of CFS before the first conference, to be held in November. CFS’s constitution technically calls for a provincial election for such a position, but as UPEI is the only full member in the province, and as President Michelle Dorsey calls dealing with prospective member Holland College “like trying to beat them with a stick to get them to do anything,” Council has called for nominations from the general student body, and will ratify a decision at its next" meeting on September 23. ‘ AS PART OF A “NADA Witt PROJch Fall elections coming The Student Union Council has opened nominations for seven (7) positions on Council. The positions are: cOne Arts respresentative ‘ One Science representative ‘ One Education representative ° Two student Senators ° One Board of Governors representative ° Ombudsman Nominations close on September 24, and elections will take place on October 2 and 3. President Michelle Dorsey proposed the extended elections because of poor turnouts for past fall polls. She hopes that students who are not on campus, or in the Robertson Library polling station, every day of the week will take advantage of the Tuesday/ Wednesday split. committee positions Also required in the Student Union are nominations for three non-Council students to sit on the Hiring and Selection Board for the coming year. ‘ ’ The Board hires bartenders, Campus police, receptionists, editors, radiostation personnel, photographers, and makes Choices for. committee chairs. at Fall Fest and Winter Carnival. _ -> ’u ' Students are encouraged to leave their names with Coun- Cillors Qrat the Student Union office in the Barn.

' The Netted‘Gem No residence rep. The Student Union Council has vetoed a suggestion by VP External Les Smith to create the position of residence represen- tative on Council. Instead, regular councillors will act as liaisons to all three residences and try to improve representation both to and from the students concerned. Council made the decision at its Sunday night meeting because students living on campus are already represented by their Faculty reps, and because the creation of residence reps would contradict efforts made in last year’s constitution to reduce double representation by eliminating class represen— tatives.

Shinerama chair Marjorie Torrens also spoke at the meeting, calling the Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser a “success... except for the rain.” Between eighty and a hundred participants raised over $3200 for research into the disease, including one group of ten who brought back $400 from Montague alone. A group was also sent to Summerside, as well as the remainder who worked Charlottetown locations. Last year, according to Torrens, better weather saw 120 shiners raising $4100.
