ON MOTIVES, PRINCIPLES REASONS AND JUSTIFICATIONS
VICTOR MOORE: "Executive
is concerned , because of the economci hard times, with tightening our belts a little. We've restrained 0 our own salaries. But this isn't a vendetta, and the executive has nothing to gain. It's just someth thing that came up."
"(res mtion of Oct.3rd) Council had to send two people up there to help her finish. We incurred numerous debts...over one hundred pictures missing. Expenses incurred because
of mistakes it sost us $1000. extra because the 'book was done wrong. Cynthia's still making
$50. more than the pre- vious editor, when you
take in cost of living, 12%... "We presented
very definite guidelines\ for 152 pages there are only 148 a 4 blanks. Cynthia will say the 4 blanks are autograph pages."
STUDENT UNION IS mainly concerned with principle 0 of the thing, maybe you
will set a precedent.

a job with the student Union, you should do your best to fulfill it; I've seen a lot of pepple who

"I see their point about precedent, but they are going at it all wrong. ‘They should stick to their own editor."
"The 4 blanks were auto- graph pages." BRIAN BRENNEN: not being made an example of, we're just protecting ourselves. It's cynthia that's making the forward motions. I feel she's tre ating herself unfairly." JOHN O'BRIEN: "Student 1, Council would be wise to not fo to the expense, bad press, or even pettiness of a court case. We're here to look after union - it might be wise to settle out-of -court.”
JOHN GALLANT: (the year- book) is as\good as any I've seen, beyyer than any I put out. Cynthia was pretty gung-ho, she did
a very good job. The sp— ecial effects added a litt. 1e 4 a few poor quality pix though. That can be the
