On Tuesday - October I7, the Student Union had invited all the candidates from Helpeque and figment Econstituiencies to come i to Duffy amphitheatre ifor a group confron- itation with the studen, body.

BY Richard O'Brien -Av STUDENTS’ LOUNGE If one were to examine the Student Handbook to the Day Student's Lounge in Bernadine Hall, one would discover that it is listed as being available-to female day students only. Acting :upon the initiative of ‘a certain member of the Student Union Council (one Linda Lidstone), The Cadre contacted Er. im Griffith, head of Student Services, who is the man responsible for theseimstters. In a itelephone interview Mr. Griffith confirmed the rumour that the Day _Student's Lounge is indeed available to male as well as flemale day students. hr. Griffith stated that the insertion.in the Student Handbook_was an unfortunate oversight. In response to our questions, he also went on to clarify the rules governing the facilities of the lounge. It is open from 8:30 a.m. until approximately 6:36 p.m. and is designed to allow day students to produce their own light lunches (soup, sandwiches, There is a stove and a fridge in the lounge and lockers may be rented for $1.00 which is refundable at year's end. The day students will have their own entrance and exit through the back door of Bernadine - the door to Bernadine proper being out—of- bounds. These facilities are available now but if ~they should be abused, the service could easily be discontinued. Please! Don't spoil it for the rest of us.
