Dear David,

It has been pointed out to me that some statements I made in the cafe article (Issue No. 2) are rather misleading (ie. wrong).

The Student Union Building including the cafeteria is run jointly by the University and The Students Association through the Union Management committee. The Students Association has a majority on this committee but generally loses this because student reps fail to turn up to meetings.

Financial responsibility is divided equally but often in the past the students association has ended up paying more (when the costs have exceeded the budget). So the cafe (as a part of the union) is not run solely by the Students Association, and we do not have to pay for all the losses.

Gerard Couper

P.S. In my article on Arts Council the figure for loss I quoted should have been $6,500, not $86,500.
