At the student senate meet-

tutional bylaw regarding the
speaker of the house was
cleared up.

 

By Karen Hooey

 

There was a _ slight con-
fusion of interpretation-the
bylaw was figured to state
that the speaker of the house
could be any student or had to
be a representative to the
student council and a senate
member.It was decided only
Student Senate members in
good standing can be nomi-
nated. The new speaker of the
house in the Senate is

Alan Russell.

Yeti bucks

In a request to give students
a better deal on skiing, the
Yeti ski club asked and was
awarded funding. The amount
of $1000.00 was granted in
order to help pay for five
more ski trips to such places
as Blackomb,Manning, Baker,
Hemlock and Whistler. The

club is not running on senate
money alone, but they are
projecting a good revenue
from the Yeti dance tonight.

Foundation

The Senate also voted on a
member for the Douglas
College Foundation which
provides financial aid for
student and community act-
ivities.Micheal Glavin and
Keith Wilson were nominated
for the commitee.Keith Wil-
son was elected.

More Wayne
An issue brought up, but

with D.C.S.S. secretary Way-
ne Schmuland and his entre-
preneurship (full story). Mi-
chael Glavin did not include
the issue on the agenda be-
cause Schmuland was not in
attendance and he felt it was
unfair to make the accusa-
tions in his absence.

Good day, A’?

Douglas College is in the process of applying for an ‘a’
liquor licence.

According to college Bursar Bill Morfey, we’re several
months into the application process. ‘‘If you had asked at
the beginning of the year, | would have said it would be
here by the end of February. But these things take time.”’

Morfey added with a chuckle, that ‘“A number of us had
to have reviews of our backgrounds, to see if we had
records.’’

The licence would cover the theatre foyer, the upper and
lower cafeterias, the gym, and the board room. It would be
used primarily for special events, such as_ theatre
presentations or receptions by community groups. The
application will cover the gym, as that area will be used this
summer by Ideafest.

Having the ‘a’ licence should also streamline the
paperwork that the student society now has to go through
for socials.

However, he added that this did not mean that there
would be regular liquor or beer sales on campus. That is
one service which D.C.S.S. President Michael Glavin would
like to see offered as part of a student centre, which the
Student Senate is currently looking into setting up off
campus.
