Sagacious info
from Douglas
College’s stu-
dent society

The DCSS is open for businesss
yet again, Douglas College Student
Society for those who don’t know
what DCSS means, and there are a
number of hot issues on the agenda.

Student society representatives
have passed a vote to hold a Special
General Meeting (SGM) on Sep-
tember 14th and representative
council elections on October 3.

An appendage motion has ruled
the current council officals to stay
in office until October 10th. The
cufrent by-laws state that all posi-
tions must terminate on August 31
with exeption of the newly elected
executive whose terms of office of-
fically begin September 1 of any
year. By-law changes are intended
to be implimented September 14th.

In the CFS (Canadian Federa-
tion of Students) swing of things the
Provincial Region held an Annual
General Meeting (AGM)August
24th to the 28th. DCSS represen-
tatives sent were Karen Downey
(President), Carla Crozier (V.P.),
Scott Nelson (Treasurer) and Rose
Grassman (Social Services Rep).

In the National Student Or-

ganization of the CFS the AOSC
(Association of Student Councils)
wound down at the end of July due
to the plenery motion of November
1987.

The AOSC is a student owned
non-profit organization and is
operated out of Travel CUTS
(Canadian University Travel Ser-
vice) offices. This windown trans-
fered all of AOSC’s holdings to the
CFS-Services. CFS-S is also
operated out CUTS offices.

Also transfered was a tax agree-
ment between AOSC, CUTS and
Revenue Canada. This agreement
represents a transfer of 1% of
CUTS finders fee to the non-profit
AOSC. Corporate taxes are not
levied this 1% of CUTS finders fee.
A finders fee is a 15% commision
paid to CUTS for each transporta-
tion ticket sold. The commisions
for sales represented 50 million in
revenue for CUTS.

Presently, Langara Students
Union has a by-law ammendment
before the CFS floor which Paul
Keates, Cairpereson of the outgo-
ing LSU reps, says "intends to
make the CFS and CFS-S by-laws
one and the same." The insertion of
the CFS-S into the CFS will further
transfer the tax agreement to the
CFS.

Rod Hurd, President and
Founder of Travel CUTS had stated
that Revenue Canada has never.
been obliged to honor the agree-
ment since it’s inception.

A note from the
new Dean of
Educational
and Student
services

On behalf of the Board, ad-
ministration, faculty and staff of
Douglas College I would like to ex-
tend a hearty welcome to each of
you!

September has long been as-
sociated with the beginning of the
school year. For many of you, the
beginning of the Fall semester will
represent the continuation of
programs started earlier. For others
it will represent a transition from
secondary school to college and for

others still, it will represent a return
to school after many years away
from formal study.

Whether you’re continuing with
your plans toward an existing
career or academic goal, embarking
on a new career, or whether you’re.
studying for your own personal in-
terest and fulfillment, we wish you
every success!

I sincerely hope that the time you
spend at Douglas College will
present you with many exciting and
new oppertunities and will con-
tribute to the attainment of your per-
sonal and professional goals.

Good luck in all your endea-
vours!

Sincerely,

Al Atkinson

Dean, Educational and
Student Services
