These past few years have brought
to light a schism between the Admini-
stration and the student body, which I
find disturbing. What the Student
Society needs is someone to keep in-
formed and in turn inform the student
body of continuous developments. In
this way the students have time to deal
with situations before they become a
finality. To achieve this end a student
newsletter should be distributed on the
basis of current need.

I feel that the Student Society
should play a stronger role in the poli-
tics of this school. This need was aptly
illustrated by the ad-hoc and last min-
ute preparations of the last confronta-
tion between Administration and the
student body. If it weren’t for those
students directly involved, the last tui-

The elections for Student Society were held March

30 and 31. Since the positions of Vice President,
Secretary and Treasurer were filled by acclam-

to be filled by democratic vote.

tion hikes would have passed without
much ado, and the current foreign stu-
dents would have been left in the cold.
The Student Society should be organ-
izing the college by arming them with
knowledge and leadership.

The College has grown consid-
erably, and certain areas have not kept
up, such as studio work space for
Photography and Media. As it stands
now these students basically work out
of their lockers. I feel we all deserve
our own work space.

Through physical growth and
expansion of curriculum the library
has been strained to it’s limit. I feel an
evaluation should be made in order to
upgrade it’s content.

A strong leadership by the Stu-
dent Society President and organiza-
tion of the Student Body can achieve
these and other goals.

Emily Carr is a college that needs
the input of it’s students as it is an ever-
changing institution; the evolution of
over six hundred artists needs continu-
ous feedback in order to keep up with
the incredibly diverse needs.

One of my first reasons for
running for the position of ECCAD
Student Society President was to expe-
rience being in a political position. I
wanted to see if I could maintain my
personal integrity in the heat of an
electioncampaign. I also wanted to see
if powerreally would go to my head, or
just to the middle of my throat.

Communication is one of themost
importantissues of this campaign. Lack
of communication at all levels of this
community is the primary reason there
is a general feeling that something is
wrong with our college.

The primary flaw of the present
Student Society executive has been the
lack of clear, concise and direct com-
munication with the rest of the student
body. We possess one of the best (if
not the best ) student newspapers in
Canada, yet our student society execu-
tive has not effectively used this publi-
cation as a way to inform us of what
they have been up to.

Next year I will once again be
irivolved with the Planet of The Arts. It
should be noted that all of next year’s

)

student society executive have been
regular contributors to the newspaper.

As president, I will strengthen the
lines of communication between the
executive and the paper. I believe that
by having acloserrelationship between
our paper and our student society ex-
ecutive, we will improve the effective-
ness of both.

For the Planet of the Arts to con-
tinue and grow, and for our student
society to really become our voice, we
will require a strong and active partici-
pation from the student body.

Tsee next year as the year that we
work together to make The Planet of
The Arts the best student newpaper in
the world and the year we make the
ECCAD Student Society equally great.

Apparently the word “‘secretary”
originally meant the one who looked
after the secrets, but it’s my hope that
the Student Society will be able to keep

dalous mockery of Emily Carr’s fine
political system. Naturally after a bru-
tal campaign, with my loyal supporters
spreading the gospel, the Carr masses
would see the light of inspiration and
vote my scum-sucking opponent into
office — after all we are talking about
real life here. I didn’t even get to use
my campaign slogan, “Don’t vote for
me, I don’t want to be a politician”. I
thought it was a sure vote-getter. I had
even envisioned the last minute efforts
of using a soapbox to swing the tide in
my favour; speaking with such zest,
votes would cascade in for me and
wisk me to victory. But alas, none of
this has happened, and I’m sure my
year in the political spotlight will be
just as exciting. Heck, I might even do
