ue | Dear Student:

Students appear to be un- der the impression that the role of the Douglas College Multi Campus Council is soleley to provide recrea- tional activities for the en- joyment of our membership.

This is only a minor portion|

of the Council’s responsi- bilites. Students sit on al- most every committee that

governs the administrative .

policies of Douglas College. We sit and vote on a panel that discusses and rules on student grievances against instructors, and we become involved at a Provincial level with all matters concerning students and education. _

This is only a brief outline of the responsibilities of the Douglas College Multi Cam- pus Council. Without input and help from you, we will cease to exist.

Presently, out of a fifteen,

positions are filled.Durin the upcoming elections, urge you to seek nomination for office. With a full coun- cil, Douglas can take an| active role in helping form a better educational facility, Without your help and over- all Support we become mer- ely a recreational director.
