WHATTHE HELLIS A STUDENTUNION FOR?

by:-Jose A. Uzcatcgui

If you come to the college moro.:than once a week, you might have wondered what the hell is the 'Student Union Society' all about. That is if you're not rich, because if you're a cheap-ass, you might have noticed that you pay money to these people - $25 every lime you register. Don't you think it's about time you know what ym1're pay• ing for'? Take yourself into the SUS. and ask!

rt doesn't matter how many courses you are taking, you pay this fee. But what do you pay it for? Por some, just having free condoms at the entrance makes it all worthwhile; but if you intend to stay a virgin till you're married (like most UCFV studcnls) then you might want to get your moneys worth some other way. Did you know, for example, that the Student Union could give you money'? Yes, if you apply, they can give you money (a.k.a. bursaries or grants), and you don't have to be n whiz, just really poor. Of course, there are scholarships for those unusual ones thal have a good GPA- blah. blah, blah they also organize student events (some of them). UCFV lets the SUS organize what we call Dis-Orientation, which is just a party with a few good bands <check mark>, fake gambling <check mark>, beer garden <check mark><check mark>, and whatever else comes along. You know to let the new students understand what college life i$ all about.

Wait, there is more! they also help with the on site food bank, have faxing services (very cheap, by the way), give information (i.e. washroom location), fight for serious on-campus tudent-related stuff (i.e. p~rk- ing, traffic lights, safety, etc.), they make the free handbook for students - you can also buy 'leather tuxedos' (that is a pretty cool cover) for $8 bucks. They also help club and associations; and hopefully, they' II have a space in the gym with a TV, couches, pool tables, an<lsome other stuff for us, the students.

/ Please ignore next paragraph if yuu c/011't give a damn about politics/

If you're more interested in our wonderful Canadian government, the SUS is the one that represents UCFV students in politics.

The UCf-V SUS sits on the Board of Governors (BOG) und the University College Council (UCC) they arc lhe ones who lobby the government for low/fair student fees, and all that political stuff concerning the Colleges and Universities province-wide. SE.2and tuition freezes were two of the issues that many, if not all, unions and societies had a major involvement in.

By the way, SE2 is uboul to go through and lllition is about to unfreeze. Our last chance to stop these SE2 people was to write lo the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Committee at clsec:@cp.ctcd.wa.gov before November 16: however, I encourage students to write to this email uddress any• way, and forward jokes l00 - the word is that they have good sense of hurnor.

One thing you should know is thut students are the ones who run the SUS. They actually have 10 go through an election campaign, be elected, and all that political bull (ha, ha, ha). Many people join just to pad their resume; r mean, if your goal is higher than to work at a gas station for the rest of your life, having a good rc~ume is worthwhile. Of course, you could always join if you actually wanted to <lo something. get political, and represent your fellow students for a good cause (e.g. Liquor license for your campus)
