Council lrs FcoL. members discussed the attributes and detri­ ments of The Ubyssey's membership in CUP. The debate was supposed to be about the budget, not about The Ubyssey's editorial decisions. Some council members were concerned that UBC students' articles are not printed, in favour of CUP news copy. This is not the case. News stories are almost never held—except when a recent development has outdated the story, or the story needs extensive editing which cannot meet the time limitations of the production process. Many council members thought that UBC students were not interested in news from the CUP news exchange, which draws on over 40 Canadian colleges and newspapers in search of stories which have national angles. Students, these members insisted, were not interested in national issues. The Ubyssey welcomes letters on any Issue. Letters must be typed and are not to exceed 300 words in length.
