Windsor students say'no' to building fee hike WINDSOR, Ont. (CUP) - Student leaders at the University of Wind- sor want administrators and the provincial government to get the right message behind a recent campus-wide vote which vetoed a student levy increase. "Students are sick and tired of people saying that students don't contribute. They were voting also for all of the fee increases they could not vote on," said student council law representative Scott Rogers. Over 79 per cent of voters were against a $20 a year raise in fees. The money was slated for the expansion of the University Centre, which houses the student council offices. Twenty-six per cent of those eligible voted, a higher turnout than that at last year's council election. Rogers is happy with "the massive mandate we have for action. This sends a message to the administration and the government that we are sick of antiquated equipment and underfunding.

THE CORD WEEKLY WLUFA arrogance Hey, have you heard the one about the faculty association that thought it was a law unto itself? Or how about the one about the professors who decided that fif- teen minutes of their time was far more important than several dozen students struggling to finish an examination? Laughing yet? How about the story about the faculty members who were so rude that they reduced a young woman to tears because she was just trying to do her job? Hey, it's all part of the same very bad joke. The name of that joke is the WilfridLaurier University Faculty Association (WLUFA). On Wednesday, March 1, members of the faculty association walked into a room wherea group ofPsychology students were writ- ing a Stats midterm. It was 6:50 p.m.. WLUFA had booked the room for 7:00 p.m. for a "big faculty meeting," as WLUFA member Doug Lorimer called it. According to the faculty association, nothing much happened. Once the situation was explained, WLUFA filed meekly out of the room, to return 15 minutes later. The blame for any disturbance, WLUFA President Edcil Wickham suggested, rested on the proctors, who hadn't done a good enough job of policing the exam. It was the proctors' fault that the faculty members ever gained entrance to the examination. Wait a minute. A number of Psychology students have attested that the faculty members forced their way into the room, despite at- tempts to stop them. Dr. Mary Kay Lane, the professor whose Stats midterm was being written, attests that one of the proctors arrived at night tears at way she been "brushed aside" sports her home that in the had Athletes like spoiled impatient rush into the by the faculty members in their room.
