The Master of Ceremonies for this event was Verner Smitheram, Dean of Arts, and the Address was delivered by a former U.P.E.l._ Honour graduate, Derek Key.

Student Union budget and salary increases’received the most debate during the stu- dent council meeting last Sunday night. John Orr. Student Union treasurer said, “This year there’s not much breathing room in the bud get. It would have been nice to have between $5,000 to $10,000more."

Orr says these budget re— strictions won’t hurt existing student services.

Orr is referring to the 1985-86 student union bud— get. Although there are no cuts in this year’s budget there are no increases in

monies given to societies. ~ One line item missing from

funds for groups wanting extra money for special pro- jects or trips. Some council members suggested this spe- cial fund should have been included in this year’s bud- get. Although the budget was passed in full, the decision to omit the special fund is “not carved int stone”.

Orr alluded to a possible student fee increase next year, but he says if the Panther Lounge is successful next summer, this measure would not be needed.

A long overdue salary in- crease of 13% was granted to the General Manager. The salary has not been increased for over three years.

Chief of Security, A. J. MacLeod, saysthere has al- ready been eleven reported thefts of wallets and purses, and the ransacking of one car on campus since the semester began.

MacLeod is confident that

it’s just a matter of time be- fore the suspect is appre- hended. ' “With all the thefts on campus there is a possibility we can identify the suspect soon.” It’s a matter of time before we or the Charlotte- town Police pick the person

up, because the suspect has]
