Editorial Comment

The history of student newspapers at Emily Carr is littered with the
carcasses of one-year-wonders — visually attractive and original,
but exceptionally difficult to produce on a regular basis, and to
carry on from year to year. What you are now reading is Volume
2, No. 1, the third issue ever of “The Planet of the Arts”, started in
the spring of 1986. When concieved, this publication was desig-
ned to be simple and basic in format so that personel changes
would not affect the paper, and thus enhance it’s “survivability”
(to borrow a term from Caspar Weinberger).

But, without a continued influx of fresh ideas arid new people,
the best intended of publications will perish. Therefore, this be-
comes your basic plea for help from:“The Planet” to all students
and staff. CONTRIBUTE!! We need drawings, photos, stories,
graphics, news; or help in production — typesetting, layout and
reporting. Bring your portfolio to the cafeteria during lunch-hour,
Wednesday September 17th and talk to the Editors, where we’ll
have a table set up. Prompt return and care of your work is as-
sured, Remember, The “Planet” won’t revolve without you.

STUDENT
EXECUTIVE
REPORT

Well, “President for Life” sounds a little tedious and I’m
beyond my “Queen for a Day” stage, so the only other option was

“President for a Month”. For one short, fun-filled, action-packed

month, Ian. Verchére (V.P.), Theresa Gaiters (Secr.) and Susan
Mann (Treas. ) and I will be standing in until this year’s candidates
are elected.
A month isn’t a long time, especially a month with limited
funds, so our main concern is organizing the student elections.
The Student Council elected in October will be managing,
along with your help, approximately $35,000. Of that money,

- $4,700.00 will be used to cover last year’s deficit. The deficit was

incurred to pay for scholarship funds, financial aid to students, to
help pay for the Grad Show catalogue and to help with student
shows (Park Place).

Now you may be thinking you have no desire to be involved in
the elections, you would rather be a passive resister, or maybe just
another apathetic art student. I know, you’re just here to do “art”,
but consider this; is the lack of decent food, parking (for bikes and
cars), working space, exhibition space, guest lecturers, or recrea-
tional activities going to affect how you function at this school? If
you are concerned about any of these issues then I suggest you
either run for office, nominate someone or a least turn up to vote!

You can also help by:

putting up posters
interviewing candidates for the “Planet of the Arts”
encouraging people to run
encouraging people to vote
asking questions
giving answers
Leave a note at the Student Council office if you can help.

Student Council has given $1,500.00 to the Student Emergency
Aid Fund. This amount has been matched by the B.C. Govern-
ment to assist students with emergency funding. This money will
be administered by Sandi North, to students who need financial
help with very basic living expenses (i.e. food).
