MEETINGS

The
meeting
was
opened
a
bit
late,
as
is
the
usual
procedure.
The
irst
order
of
business
on
the
agenda
was
the
organization
of
a
speakers
list
and
the
formation
of
a
committee
to
look
into
rules
of
order.
The
speakers
list
got
passed
while
the
committee
was
tabled
(left
to
fade
away,
it
seems)
.
Next,
a
motion
to
raise
the
amount
of
scholarships
was
tabled.
Then
came
the
pub-night
debate.
The
Sport
and
Club
Co-ordinator
feels
that
the
schedule
should
be
changed
to
allow
the
new
clubs
that
he
is
forming
to
get
pub-nights
at
the
expense
of
those
clubs
which
had
their
acts
together
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
The
treasurer
suggested
that
council
should
increase
it's
take
from
15
to
30
and
give
the
extra
money
to
groups
that
did
not
get
pub-nights.
A
number
of
people
present
were
opposed
to
the
idea
of
one
group
getting
money
it
had
done
nothing
for,
while
another
group
gets
shafted
out
of
their
hard
earned
cash.
s
Council
.finally
passed
a
four
point
rule
set
for
Student
Council
behavior
at
pub-nights.
During
the
debate
of
the
topic,
the
council
Ombudsperson
suggested
that
future
meetings
should
be
held
"in
camera"
so
that
the
Free
Press
could
be
excluded.
Then
a
set
of
motions
was
passed
to
cut
down
long
distance
phone
calls
and
photocopying
costs.
During
the
report
of
BCFS,
the
President
blew
his
cool
and
began
to
scream
at
the"
rest
of
the
council.
After
the
tirade
was
over,
business
resumed
as
though
nothing
had
happened.
Finally,
council
decided
to
try
a
pilot
project
involving
the
sale
of
College
jackets.
The
design
has
been
chosen
so
if
you
are
interested,
contact
the
Vice-President
about
the
matter.
Nov.

This
meeting
was
held
on
a
Monday
night
at
the
request
of
the
Nursing
students
who
apparently
can't
make
it
to
a
meeting
on
any
other
night.
The
meeting
started
out
on
a
good
note
and
got
i.icresingly
better.
The
reading
of
the
minutes
was
delayed,
then
finally'
skipped
all
together
because
nobody
could
find
the
minutes.
The
secretary
was
unable
to
make
the
meeting
and
the
original
five
members
present
either
didn't
know
where
the
minutes
were
or
couldn't
get
them
out.
Three
separate
groups
of
nurses
approached
council
for
assistance,
financial
and
otherwise.
Two
of
these
groups
were
given
$200
each
without
presentationVdf
'a.'budge&'ATt'V',
'
a
anything
else
for
that
matter
(the'
Club
Co-ordinator
requires
each
club
to
present
a
report
and
a
budj
get
before
it
can
be
recognized).
The
Clubs
Co-ordinator
stated
that
"the
$200
they
get,
automatically."
And
later
he
states
that
"clubs
that
get
pub-nights
shouldn't
be
able
to
claim
the
$200".
I
fail
to
see
why
clubs
that
are
willing
to
work
to
earn
money
should
lose
any
of
the
rights
they
would
have
otherwise.
December
is
going
to
be
a
slow
month
as
far
as
budgetted
expenditures
go.
At
thi
tim
only
$230
has
been
budgetted
(for
phone,
office
supplies,
etc.
)
.
A
self
defense
club
was
presented
for
recognition
but
the
decision
was
tabled
until
a
full
presentation
could
be
made.
Shortly
thereafter,
the
meeting,
with
only
three
members
present,
was
relocated
to
the
Student
Association
office
where
the
Free
Press
rep.
was
asked
to
leave
because:
"I
want
to
talk
to
these
guys
and
since
you're
a
member
of
the
press,
maybe
you
had
betteraJ.eave."

Sorf
of
makes'
you
wonder
what
they
could
possibly
have
to
talk
about
that
they
don't
want
the
student
body
to
know
about.
They
might
also
bear
in
mind
that
it
was
in
violation
of
the
constitution.

national
standards

object-US
'&
'
Sives,
such
as
accessibility
1
to
education
,
while
the
province
refuses
to
be
involved
in
such
a
sensible
program.
This
"issue
has
to
be
won
foi
students'
and
with
C.F.S.,
students
will
be
well
enough
organized
to
effectively
make
positive
changes
in
the
next
E.P.F.
agreement.
There
are
many
other
issues
that
C.F.S.
can
work
on
for
students,
one
of
which
are
plans
to
irdex
tuition
fees
to
pay
for
15
tc
35
of
institutions
operating
costs'.
At
present
'our
tuition
fees
pay
for
4
of
C.N.C.'s
budget.
Another
upcoming
problem
is
the
government
proposal
to
cutback
by
one-third
on
its
fundings
of
post-secondary
education.
If
this
plan
were
imposed
,
it
would
result
in
higher
tuition
fees,
fewer
teachers
,
and
ultimately
one-third
less
colleges.
In
the
end,
students
would
be
paying
more
and
receiving
less
for
their
education.
So
,
these
are
just
three
problems
from
among
many
where
students
need
a
unified
national
and
provincial
organization
to
represent
students'
interests.
There
are
some
problems
with
C.F.S.
,
but
in
the
end,
C.F.S.
is
a
powerful
vehicle
which
will
drive
homo
student
concerns.
