The recent decisions made by your students' union to ally with the University of Waterloo Federation of Students and to join with the Ontario Federation of Students (OFS) are clear indications that this administration has enlarged its focus. But will this greater focus only reduce the energy that can be directed toward each project or issue? With so many fingers in other pies, it seems doubtful that WLUSU can keep its own kitchen in order.
Energy-devoted to the UW Federation of Students - WLUSU coalition will be most beneficial if this union can successfully lobby the local municipal government to improve conditions for students in K W. Again, the success of this coalition rests with the combined energies of both parties. What directions has this coalition taken? What criteria will this alliance use to set its "agenda"? Who will do the necessary homework? Within the Ontario Federation of Students various WLUSU types have been elected to commissions ranging from Student Services to Global issues. The Students' Union appears to get involved, and ultimately use newly- gained knowledge and awareness to better the plight of WLU students. How that expertise will be used to solve local problems is a pnme concern. A new or increased awareness of student issues should lead to some concrete problem solving at home only if WLUSU can still give a large portion of its attention towards WLU student concerns. However, WLUSU has stated that it would like to "give a large portion of its attention towards OFS." The Ontario Federation of Students' "Student Agenda for Change" is a list of priorities for the current year; a list that will involve WLUSU participation. The list includes five items, or five areas towards which the OFS will direct most of its energy and resources in '85-'B6. These goals include: 1) better student aid; 2) lower education costs to students; 3) proper funding for universities; 4) adequate student housing and; 5) more input into education planning.
— The OFS agenda is large — probably too large for one year and will require a great deal of work to accomplish desired changes. The OFS can be a great eyeopener for its members. This organization can also be extremely demanding on members' resources. WLUSU's resources are presently being stretched to their limits. Can we be guaranteed that existing services will be maintained adequately if administrative energy is directed elsewhere? WLUSU has the potential to contribute a great deal to municipal affairs in coordination with the UW Federation of Students. It is at this level that our Students' Union can accomplish the most for WLU students. Involvement with OFS will give WLUSU the expertise and resources it needs to success- fully lobby the local powers that be. Involvement with the CFS will add little to that expertise. These "marriages" should give our student leaders a greater insight into the problems that plague university and college students down the street and across the country. Insight gained from extracurricular activities should be immediately directed to local issues. Time spent beyond that basic mandate this year will be time wasted.
