"We have to go to the governments united with the faculities, the staffs, and even the administra— tions," he said, adding there is a crisis in post-secondary education in the region. The need for a regional student federation lnas never been more evident, he said. Debate stalled on the question of where in Halifax the AFS office should be located. The Dalhousie delegation offered a free office on the campus, but after lengthy debate the sugges— tion was brushed aside. As the delegates from Memorial University in St. Johns put it:"Oonsidering Dal's notorious reputation with AFS, it would be absurd to have the office right in their midst." 'Ihe AFS has 13 member universities, colleges, and technical schools and represents more than 24,000 post—secondary students in the four At- lantic provinces.

Griffin also said there had been "constant antag- onism" between the editor and other members of the council's communications commission. i Both Griffin and the photographer of the controversial picture are members of the communic— ations commission. Misiunas said she didn't want to turn the paper "into the Tioke", the University of Toronto's engineer paper. She also said she didn't lmow why shewas suspended and that the numerous criticisms the paper had received prior to the suspension were unfair in light of the inexperience of the peo— ple working on tlne paper, including herself.
