Message F r o m T h e Executive The last couple of weeks have been quite busy for the executive team. We are currently working with the College to improve student life at the Princess Street Campus. Ranging from bringing more entertainment features to increasing safety, we look forward to accomplishing these tasks.

At the Notre Dame campus, the Students' Association Building Fund committee is currently working on the plans to create a recreational space for the students at the blue locker bay of building E and the renovation of the lounge in building J. These improvements will not only improve the environment for students but for the college as a whole. A special thanks goes out to the committee members for their efforts; they have committed to giving the students.

Congratulation to the ladies' varsity volleyball team for their victory and for the strong efforts of the men's team at the first RRC Invitational Tournament held on Oct. 15th.

The Rebel's women's team did exceptionally well by winning the final and finishing in first place. RRC defeated the College universitaire de Saint-Boniface (CUSB) in the best of 3 final 2 sets to 0. The Rebel's men's team competed very hard, but unfortunately lost a close best of 3 match in the semi-finals to CUSB 2 sets to 1 (25-16, 22-25, 15-8). CUSB went on to win the tournament in the men's final by defeating the Canadian Mennonite University (CMU) 2 sets to 0 (25-16, 25-21). The next Rebel's games will be on October 24th and 29th at the Notre Dame Campus in the North Gym. Come out to show your support for the teams. For those of you who had mid course projects, tests and midterms, we hope you all did well. Remember that we are your Students' Association and we are always ready to work for you. If you have any issues or concerns that need attention, come down to our offices at CM20 for Notre Dame campus or P110 at the Princess Street campus.
