NUS intersted in health ) services Ottawa [CUP] - The national Union of Students (NUS) wants to find out the level of health services on Canadian campuses. NUS has mailed 150 questionnaires to university and college deans_ of student services and affairs asking them to outline the level. of services their campus provides to stu- dents, professors, and visitors. The purpose - of the questionnaire is twofold according to NUS office co-ordinator Len Taylor. “We know there have been cutbacks in on-cam- pus programs and health care is probably the most adversely affected pro- gram,’’ he said. ‘’We want. to find out the extent of those cutbacks.’’ He said that student health has been a long-time concern of students and a workshop is scheduled for ‘the NUS = annual May conference. Taylor said the completed questionnaires would provide data for background information for the workshop and also give direction to NUS’ executive in terms of policy decisions. The questionnaire is co-ordinated by Karin Martin, a graduate student in the department of community health at the University of Toronto, who will use the questionnaire results as part of her course work. Taylor said they expected to uncover a wide variety of services offered on cam- puses. The questionnaire asks the nature and extent of “programs such_ as infirmary and clinic ser- vices, birth control, abor- tion and venereal disease counselling and the avail- ability of preventative health care. Student travel Canadian students inter- ested in holidaying and working abroad have often wondered where to go for information, how to get started, and, in fact, just what is available overseas. But thanks to two Canadian organizations, the Asso- ciation of Student Councils (AOSC), and: the National Union of Students (NUS), hundreds of Canadian university and _ college students have been able to join. in Holiday/work a- board programmes in different foreign countries: Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, and New Zealand. Participants in these programmes must be at least 18 years of age, and enrolled as full-time stu- dents at an_ accredited university or college. To enter the foreign country students must have a valid passport, approxi- mately $500.00 to support themselves until their first paycheque, and evidence of a return ticket. AOSC is able to arrange all working visas required. For the Student Work abroad Progamme (SWAP) in Britian, AOSC has established a Canadian Student Centre in London which arranges firm inter- views with prospective employers and_ provides information on finding a place to live. Participants work in basically semi- skilled or unskilled jobs as sales _ assistants, bar- tenders, secretaries, and in the catering industry; some have worked as threatre wardrobe’ dressers, art galerie guides, and pub- lication assistants. In Ireland -and New Zealand, SWAP _partici- pants have little difficulty in finding their own jobs with the help of the respective national student travel bureaus - USIT and NZUSA. In Belgium, where a basic knowledge of French is an advantage and sometimes necessary, specific jobs requiring related job ex- perience are available in the banking and _ auto- making industires. The programme is_ severely limited in numbers, how- ever, and __ prospective participants should pro- bably consider one of the other SWAP programmes unless their working exper- ience relates to these areas. SWAP Holland is looking for participants with an agricultural background as the jobs available are in the market garden and flower production areas. The purpose of these’ SWAP. programmes is to enable young Canadians entering a foreign country on an extended holiday to offset the rising costs of travel by engaging in some type of temporary employ- ment incidental. to their holiday. Interested students should contact their campus place- ment centres or write to AOSC/NUS/SWAP, 44 St. George St. Toronto, On- tario M5S 2E4. Other AOSC offices are located in Ottawa, Halifax, Edmonton and Vancouver.
