Q91 Rob Brown First Vice-Pres. STUDE TS COU CIL Enz'ironnzents are not passive wrappings but active processes, and any technology gradually cre- ates a totally new ent'irotznzent. .UA RSHA LL JIeL I 'HAN fv- This year student power, a sf' greatly niisconstrued phase, has '1 ' come to be recognised as a new medium or technology possessing the potential to change and re- shape our university environ- ments. To do so, it must he per- ceived as a positive medium. Basic to its concept is the accept- ance of responsibility as a duty, and not as a right obtained through the empty and sterile process of student demonstra- tions. Student power implies posi- tive involvement in university government giving responsibility Jim Griffiths to the student in such areas as ' undergraduate teaching, curricu- lum decisions, the planning of new rules for college life. The challenge of this responsibility must be recognised now while he is still a student, for within a matter of months he will be hurled from the college com- munity into a larger comnzunity-one that instantly denzands the individual to make decisions, whether they be in the business world. private life, or in the realm of civic' provincial and federal government. What have I achieved-not only as an individual in academic terms, but as a voice in the collective medium of student power-this past year at WLUT' This is the fundamental question of responsible student participation in the university community. Indeed, .student power as a viable concept presupposes that this question is being ans- wered by all of us. The inintediate issue is whether or not this question is being by you at WLU. The uni1'ersity's future environment, it must he renzemlnwed, is being shaped by our present actions-or lack of action. Tomorrow is too late to give sull- stance to the positive medium of student power. Environments are active processes only as we contribute now. Student Council President His Message at right 83
