“Students’ Council has been consider ing the question o f pullingout o f RAEU for over a year. We have a responsibility to ensure that McGill students feel com fortable with their provincial union, yet I doubt that this has been the case. “ RAEU has not been responsive to our concerns. We have been negotiating with them for a long time but we never reached an agreement. “We have asked that RAEU make an effort to com m unicate their actions to our students more effectively by provid ing some information in English. We have also asked them to revise the mem bership fee structure o f RAEU. Last

added a ten-page section to its constitu tion, assuring that its members will be kept up to date on the state o f the union’s finances. RAEU has also pledged to hold som e o f its meetings at McGill and to publish information on its actions in the TR IBU N E, in order to afford our students greater opportunity to be familiar with RAEU and its poli cies. In addition, the organization has asked that McGill continue to be involved in RAEU as an observer until such tim e as the students vote on the issue o f which union, if any, they wish to

Until McGill joins a union, the Stu dents’ Society will continue to send observers to all o f the major provincial organizations. McGill’s voice will also continue to be heard through Students’ Council and Trister. The Students’ Society has established direct contact with members o f the fed eral and provincial governments as well as the media. McGill's approach, in a
