The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) is a council composed of a body of students elected by their peers, who are tasked with running the Acadia Students’ Union (ASU). The SRC meets every Friday at 1:00 PM on Teams, however, they would usually meet in the Beveridge Forum located off the Michener Lounge in the Students’ Union Building (SUB). Each meeting is open to the public and students are welcome to attend meetings to learn more about the decisions being made on their behalf.
The council met this Friday with some new faces in the meeting! After general housekeeping (attendance, acceptance of agenda) the council opened up the floor for a question period. Colin Mitchell, recent Acadia Alumni, former Editor-in-Chief for the Athenaeum, Board of Governor Representative, and Arts Senator began the question period.

For 147 years,
The Athenaeum has been the voice of students at Acadia University. It has reported on the comings and goings of the world, debated major issues, and shed light on parts of the institution that had been shrouded in darkness. It has been a launching pad for bankers, educators, lawyers, Senators, Members of Parliament, activists, authors, poets, entrepreneurs and researchers.
That could soon be coming to an end.
The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) recently discussed a potential motion to defund The Athenaeum and Axe Radio, the only two sources of student media on campus, by depriving editors and contributors of honoraria. If the SRC goes forward with their discussion in the form of an official proposed motion, this would reduce the status of both to clubs rather than Internal Organizations, allowing them to apply for club grants and ratification year after year rather than receive student funding.

Put together by Whanganui boat builders Q-West, the vessel was reconfigured as a demonstrater for HamiltonJet, a Christchurch-based waterjet propulsion company.
The boat uses HamiltonJet s hybrid propulsion technology, making use of a traditional diesel engine as well as an electric propulsion system.
