Whither the Environmental Group

I am writing to ask: what are the actual motives of the president of the Environmental Group at this university? This person (Paul Norman) has a group who have been given a grant of four hundred dollars on condition that they set up a "resource centre for environmental studies".

As one of the people who put my name down to join the 'group' at it's stand during enrolment, I would like to know what is actually going on. I have a deep concern for the environment, and want to be able to do some positive work; yet all I ever got from the group was one crummy newsletter.

Not once this year (and it's almost half gone) have we had a meeting and not once have we been called on to participate in the group. I know the group still exists because they seem to be messing around with this bloody resource centre.

Also Norman is running around trying to set up 12 credit environmental courses with various departments. It is a bit strange that he himself is taking the present 6 credit environmental courses in an effort to patch up his BSc.

In short, as a member of this group I want some contact with other members (are you one?) and some say in what is being done with all it's (our) money. Maybe this will lead to a more positive group with more positive actions (the last one broke up due to apathy).
