Information is the budget-
ary priority of the Student
Society this fall, with the
largest share of the budget
going to the information
office--nearly $11,000.
The Fall 1982 Budget of
Douglas College Student
Society was approved with-
out change at the Student
Council meeting September
8.
The budget was presented
to council by Treasurer Rudy
Van Berkel. He and Presi-
dent Tim Shein discussed
various details of the budget.
$1, 900 has been budgeted
for ‘‘society services’. Reg-
istration expenses such as
film for student card photos
and daycare services account
for most of that figure.
The $3,500 ‘‘carry-over’’
will be spent to help main-
tain the society‘s services in
Summer 1983.
‘‘Activities’’ are allotted
$5,000, about $3,000 of this
paying for Douglas students‘
swimming privileges at
Canada Games and Chimo
pools.

for ‘‘campus grants’. Van
Berkel said this applies “Tf
one of the campuses needs
something for that campus’’,
while the money lasts.
Up to $1,500 is available to
help finance clubs at the
college. ‘‘Money is available
--anyone can fill out an
association charter to start a
club,’’ says Shein.
‘‘They‘d have to give us a
budget and raise some mon-
ey themselves. The multi-
campus Council can grant 10
to 50 per cent of the club
budget.”’
The Conferences’ allottment
will pay for two Douglas
College representatives at a
Canadian Federation of
students conference this fall.
Van Berkel said other

Shein’s Superloto hits campus

by Chris Page :

The Douglas College Stu-
dent Society is going into the
business of selling lottery
tickets this October to raise
money. The proposal was
approved at a Gaptens Coun-
cil meeting September 8,
despite the moral objections
of at least one student.

The Student  Society‘s
information office will sell
‘commercial’ lottery tickets
such as Western Express.

The Student Society will
receive ten percent of the
revenue from ticket sales.
Society President Tim Shein
doesn‘t yet know how much
money can be raised, but he
hopes to put the money
towards charity or a perma-
nent job fund. ‘‘It won‘t go
to activities per se,’’ said
Shein.

“I realize there‘s a moral
issue concerning gambling, ‘‘
says Shein, but he defends
saying that
“the Student Society atti-
tude is that the people who
do buy tickets (from us) are
going to buy from somebody
else otherwise. It's like
keeping the money in the
family.

+" “ t agree with lottery
tickets,’’ objects student and
Other Press staffer Graham
Hunter. ‘‘They‘re indirect
taxation. People pay money
because they go for the
dream of riches. The odds
against the buyer in lotteries

 

are terrible. Students are
being taken advantage of by
their elected officials.”

Asked whether the Stu-
dent Society is legitimizing
lottery tickets by selling
them, Shein initially said
‘“‘by no means’’, but later
stated that it is.

Letter and
response

Re your article in Special
Registration Issue:
“Another term in this
dump’’. Please be advised
of an inaccuracy in your
article, specifically in the
statement ‘‘Chemistry and
science students will be us-
ing the labs at New West-
minster Senior Seconday...’’
the Physics lab is open for
‘‘business as usual’’ in room
N605 on the McBride site.
All the equipment required
for our experiments is here.

Ed Jolley,
Physics Instructor

Mr. Jolley,

We apologize for the error.
It should be noted, however,
that the information was
obtained from Bill Day‘s
comments at a board meet-
ing last month.

Question;were you satisfied

Heather Clowes:

It was crowded. | got
all my courses. Surprise,

surprise!

Terry Kim:

 

No, | wasn’t satisfied.
We had to mud-wrestle to
get our credits. Two out
of three falls gets the

course.

_I’m sure its not
the college’s fault.
