Indigenous and international students are one step closer to being represented on AMS Council--with voting seats . Council voted last Wednesday to send several questions to referendum, including whether or not to amend AMS bylaws to add a voting seat for both indigenous and international

students. AMS President Amina Rai was

ecstatic to see both motions pass and

go to referendum. "[The additional seats are] some-

thing that would benefit the Council. ..benefit the University and. ..benefit those student groups, ' Rai said.

There has been a growing trend at Canadian universities, most recently the University of Manitoba, to add voting seats for indigenous and international students on student unions.

"This is not a want. It's a need,'

asserted Rai. Neither indigenous nor interna-

tional students have ever possessed a voting seat on Council, although in 1990 indigenous students did have a non voting seat before low attendance by the indigenous representative led Council to remove the seat. Currently, all AMS Council seats are based on constituencies, representing various faculties.

The issue sparked passionate debate amongst councillors . While the majority of Council shared Rai's opinion on the additional seats, and passed the motion through to referendum, there were those who had concerns.

"[The motion is] about changing our structure . and elevating these two groups [indigenous and international students] above the rest" said Engineering councillor Ian McKechnie, who questioned whether the only groups in "essential need" were indigenous and international students.

Arts councillor Joel McLaughlin acknowledged the special issues faced by both student groups, but maintained that the "proper forum to run through is through constituencies ."

Others were concerned with self identification being the means by which the AMS would designate indigenous students. There was some trepidation with the lack of control on such a system.

"I think that university students are able to act based on the honour system, to consciously decide if it is appropriate for them to vote on a student rep for indigenous students or not: said Rai in response to these concerns.

Dustin Johnson, a spokesperson from UBC's Indigenous Students Society, addressed Council after the motions were passed . Johnson commended the Council on passing the motion and attributed misinformation and ignorance to those who did not understand the motion's significance.

Nabeela Khan, president of the International Students' Association, was also present Wednesday.

"I know that there are a lot of rep-

resentatives from different faculties, but they will bring forth areas of concern to those respective faculties. There's no sort .of representation on the council for international students,' said Khan just prior to the

motion passing. The prospect of a larger council

was not a concern. 'We're not adding levels of

bureaucracy--it's added seats to council,' said Arts councillor Quinn Omori, who also discussed the idea that other groups would now expect representation at the AMS level.

'I think more voices on council [are] a good thing. ..to a point,' Omori said. "There is that whole 'slippery slope argument' that I don't really think is valid.

'People are going to vote if they're interested,' said Omori of the upcoming referendum. Regardless . ..I think it's great to take questions direct to constituents--direct democracy.'

Students can vote yes' or "no" to all the referendum questions from January 31 to February 7 by going to ams.ubc.ca/elections . To create additional seats on Council, ten per cent of the student population must vote in support of the bylaw

changes . ?:
