     . The Student Council has 
     
     been trying to formulate a ' 
     
     new set of laws for several 
     
     years. 'lhis year's Council 
     
     has repeatedly found itself 
     
     held up, mystified, or 
     
     Completely frustrated by 
     
     the preset Constitution, 
     
     which is out of date and 
     
     poorly framed. -. Certain

     The referendum was the 
     
     third NUS vote at the cam— 
     
     pus in as many years, with 
     
     1,338 students, about 27 pe

     however, one of file reasons 
     
     the referendum failed is 
     
     that Murray withheld infor-.

     been quoted in the campus 
     
     newspaper, the B‘Funswickan, 
     
     as saying [NB NUS fees were 
     
     $55,000. [NB NIB fees are 
     
     $5,700.

     at INB, adding "the (NB NIB 
     
     committee didn't exist." 
     
     Murray said the pro-NIB 
     
     campaign was run entirely 
     
     by NUS employees.

     the Student Council, led 
     
     by Chairman Maurice 
     
     Rogerson, will review the 
     
     constitution, propose 
     
     certain amendments before 
     
     a general meeting of the 
     
     Union, and hopefully frame 
     
     a new and more efficient 
     
     document.

     O'Connor said the loss 
     
     of fees from [NB will af- 
     
     fect NUS because its budget 
     
     is "really tight." However, 
     
     he doubted the loss of UNB 
     
     would be as serious‘as it 
     
     might have been because the 
     
     campus has been steadily 
     
     isolating itself during the 
     
     past year.
