Union? What Union?

Greetings and salutations from the
Douglas Students Union, I trust that
your classes are going well and all
of you, like me, are beginning to feel
the stress and pressure of “back to
school”. Most of you have probably
all had an exam or major project such.
as a debate, essay or paper due and
are already behind in most of your
readings. Don’t worry your not the
only one.

This is my second year here at
Douglas and I am still adjusting to
college life and the pressures that come
with it. When I arrived here at Douglas
last September I was greeted by a
concourse full of tables and people —
looking to sell things, I felt like I was

find that most of the students were not
really interested in the DSU and didn’t
really know what they had to do with
them.

This is your union; you have the
power to make a difference in your
school and in your education. We are
students too and we understand the
difficulties you face everyday. If you
are ever unsure of what the union is
or what it does come to a meeting or
come by the office we need students
input we make decisions regarding
events, groups, student’s issues and
how your union fees get spent. The
meetings every other Wednesday at
alternating campuses at 430 come by

and see what it’s all about.
