We threw eggs and oranges and now we're sorry

Dear Editor,

We'd like to use the school newspaper as a forum to express our apologies for our inappropriate actions on the night of November 21, 1998.

On that night we threw oranges and eggs off our balcony at University Place. Our actions were immature and irresponsible and lacked sound judgement.

To all that were victimized, we'd like to express our sincere regret for the thoughtless incident.

A Wilfrid Laurier student should not exhibit conduct such as this. Our behaviour has hurt the credibility of Wilfrid Laurier students, in specific those in their first year of studies.

We have been dealt with fairly by the Dean's Advisory Council and we hope that the measures taken by the DAC might provide some restribution for the community and the university.

Once again, we would like to express our deep remorse for our actions.

We can assure you that this was an isolated incident and will never happen again.

With apologies,

Craig Reeder

ELECTIONS '99: In full effect, yo.

Dear Editor,

The start of a new year means the start of a new way of doing things for the WLU Students' Union and Student Publications annual elections. Many students are aware of the confusion and chaos that arose during last year's election process.

In order to avoid that confusion, the Election Council team and I have worked hard to make the rules and regulations governing the elections as clear as possible. In addition to updating election policies, the ELECTIONS '99 campaign (happening right now!) will let you voice any concerns you have and give the election team input into what you think about the elections. We really want to work with you to ensure that ELECTIONS '99 is as successful as possible!

It is important for the WLU student body (as shareholders of both corporations) to take part in ELECTIONS '99. Fellow students who are voted into the various positions (WLUSU President, Vice-President: University Affairs, WLUSP President and all Board of Directors members) will have an impact on your university career. Both organizations provide you with services such as Foot Patrol, BACCHUS and the Emergency Response Team. Many opportunities are available through Campus Clubs, LSFL, LUCK, and student activities such as Orientation Week, Boar's Head and the Fashion N' Motion.

If anyone is considering running for any elected positions in WLUSU or WLUSP, please come and talk to an election team member. Any questions or concerns can be sent to me at regi9670@mach1 or leave a message in my mailbox in the Students' Union Offices. The Election Council can be contacted through the WLUSU offices and we all encourage feedback or input into ELECTIONS '99.

Thank you in advance for your support. Thank you especially to Wes, Megan, Steve, Sue, Will, and Geoff on Election Council for the hard work that you put into establishing a great foundation for a successful ELECTIONS '99 campaign!

Sonja Regier
Chief Returning Officer
