As reported by the honourable Sean Tuohy in 'Salient' (p.5 Mar. 20) I was elected unapposed on a platform promising nothing, to the position of SRC Welfare officer. This puts me in a bit of a dilemma, as seeing I was elected to do nothing, being bound to follow SRC policy I can't do anything?. . .

The main areas of concern at the moment seem to centre on the insufficient hours being available at the creche for some students, the scarcity of part time employment for students and the perilous financial situation of some students sometimes, requiring their forced withdrawal from university.

I have met various people associated with the creche and attended a meeting of concerned people on the issue at the Union one evening. It was resolved to run a survey through 'Salient' to ascertain the exact need of students as far as day care of their children is concerned.

Although the Student Welfare Services at 6 Kelburn Parade and the Labour Dept. have a list of available part time jobs, an attempt will be made to compile a register of part time employment and put the details up on a board outside committee room no. 1 on the first floor of the union building (near Radio Active). Unfoughtnatly, part time jobs are very scarce and this measure will probably not alleviate the situation very much.

As far as financial difficulties are concerned, I shall be pushing for the students association to make some, or more provision for emergency loans to students in financial hardship.

Finally, of you have any hassels whatsoever to do with money workload, employment, social problem etc... anything at all . . . don't hesitate to give us a call if you want to either ask for me at the studass office or else leave a note at committee room no. I on the first floor of the union. My phone no. is 851 759 . . . end of verbal diorhea.
