Lerr On September 24th, Constable Steve Pranzl of the Van- couver Police Department presented information on sexual assault and how to prevent it. One of the issues that came out of the discussions was the fear many women have of leaving the Island late at night, especially when they have to walk to a bus stop. Someone suggested getting organized for establishing a ‘buddy sys- tem’. This was discussed at a Student Services meeting and we felt that organizing anything on a large scale would not _ beas safe and effective as a small scale plan. So, we recommended that women who work late at night set up buddy systems: work with a partner, establish a car pool, take a taxi together, walk together to the bus stop, etc. Eva Allan, Sally Stukus Dennis Burton As you may have heard, Dennis Burton will be laid up in the hospital for a while and will be needing reading mate- _ rial. A collection is being taken up to buy a pile of his favourite comics. Please drop donations in the can provided at the reception desk. Any amount will help. Thank you for caring. Deadline: October 3 While you are dropping off your money at reception (or just passing by) please sign the giant card for Dennis as well. The False Creek Community Association has invited Col- lege students and staff to suggest ways to celebrate the Van- couver City Centennial. The Association is looking for creative, innovative ways in which the False Creek community can participate in the Centennial. The Association has a budget of $3 ,000-$3,500 to devel- op and produce a suitable special event or project. If you are interested in working with the False Creek Community Association on this project, please contact: Bery! Wilson, Editor The False Creek Community Newspaper, THE CREEK False Creek Community Centre Virginia Achtem Interim President It seems like it was only yesterday, or was it last month, that I wrote my first Student Council Report. How time flies when you’re . . . busy. I shall look upon this past month as Student Council President with fond memories. Oh well, so much for cheap sentiment and on to the business at hand. The Annual General Meeting was not exactly well at- tended. All we needed to get a quorum was a mere thirty people to make it legal. However since those assembled were less than half the required number it was time for war- fare tactics — recruiting students from hallways and studios. I do hereby grant amnesty (or amnesia) to all you con- scientious or unconscious objectors. It’s perfectly alright to decide not to go to meetings or take an interest in student re- lated concerns. It just means that you have also decided not to complain about the ways things could have been. Unfor- tunately, there are some matters where we have little con- trol, but this doesn’t mean we cannot exercise our right to protest. We have the power to influence. It’s hard not to take notice when 600 speak. Would you believe 6 people with loud voices. Enough already. Here’s the goods. Parking The latest solution. (I use the word loosely) is to sell eighty student permits for sixty spaces at a cost from fifteen to twenty dollars a month. At present, this is just a proposal, and a bad one at that. There will be a meeting soon to voice your concerns. Bike-racks Doug Weir is researching the matter and would welcome any suggestions students might have. One option is to put an additional rail along the walkway on the south side of 3D Pub Nights Word has it that pub nights are a thing of the past due to vandalism. We, the student body have had to help cover the cost for repairs. I do believe that we can prove ourselves to be responsible adults. This means preventing others or our- selves (?!?) from getting out of hand. Whatever that means. We might be able to have pub nights at the Arts Club. They have volunteered some space. This is just one solution. No pub nights is not the answer. Elections Go to the All Candidates Forum on Tuesday, October | in room 260 at 12:15. Vote. Vote. Vote. Think. Think. Think about why you are voting for that person. e Financial Report : Theresa Gaiters has provided the first-installment of last year’s cost breakdown. A more detailed report will follow next month. Financial Statement Theresa Gaiter Secretary - 1985-86 Student Council So you wonder where all that (our/my) money went do you? You ask why is there a $4,500.00 deficit at the beginning of this school term. This is a brief outline to be followed later by a more com- plete financial statement in the next issue of the Planet of the Arts about how the Student Society funds were spent. Our budget concerns for 1985-86 were to distribute the funds received back to the student population. We achieved this by helping with: Elvis Chang Gallery Park Place Shows Expedition to the Territory Learning Environment Seminar Theatre Sports Workshop Grad Catalogue Emergency funding to Financial Aid Transportation and framing costs for student shows Funds to Food Bank Guest lecturers Noon Entertainment Christmas Dance The deficit was caused primarily by unexpected expendi- tures for the Grad Catalogue and for scholarships. STUDENT SOCIETY PURPOSE The ECCAD Student Society ensures that students have a voice in the affairs of the College. The Society initiates activities such as organizing dances, dispensing funds for student shows and organizations, supporting and contribut- ing to College publications. Each Student contributes $40.00 per year to the Society to maintain these activities. Comprised of all students currently registered in the Col- lege, the Society annually elects an executive staff of Presi- dent, Vice-president, Treasurer and Secretary. Student rep- resentatives participate on College committees and provide student perspective in the decision making process. Execu- tive members receive four additional credits each semester for their work on behalf of the Society.
