Dear Members,

Welcome back to Douglas College. As a Douglas student,
you’ re automatically a member of the Douglas Students’
Union—Local 18 of the Canadian Federation of Students. Your
democratically controlled Students’ Union works on issues
you care about and provides services you’ !l find useful.

These services include a used book store, where you can sell
your old texts and find new (to you) ones at reduced costs,
andfast-trax transit discount stickers which allow you to use a
one-zone monthly transit passin all three zones. Additionally, LL lr .
be sure to pick up your free members’ handbook and day “I think I'm more aware of American consumerism and con-
planner, which contains useful information, and serves as a sumerism in general.” ;

great place to track your homework and social life. Your Jennifer

handbook also contains your free Studentsaver discount card, .
which will provide you with savings at hundreds of
businesses in the Greater Vancouver area.

This year, students will continue to fight Gordon Campbell’s
Liberal government's attack on accessible education. At
Douglas College, these attacks have resulted in the
cancellation of the Habitat Restoration Program, and the
closure of the Thomas Haney Campus. Changes to the
student financial assistance program have meant higher
student debt loads and fewer opportunities for on-campus
employment. Students also face a 30 percent tuition fee
increase, a $400.00 per year hike for full time students.

By working together, students can effect change in
government policies. In recent years, students have secured
tuition fee freezes and reductions, improvements in student
financial assistance and greater participation in College
decision-making. Over the coming year, this work will
continue. We urge you to get more involved in your Union
and join the campaign for accessible education. Me ei
