IQ

A BIT OF BACKGROUND The aim of a student-housing co-operative is to provide housing that is affordable and responsive to the particular needs of students. A co-op is afford-able because members give their time in different ways and responsive because each member has a voice in decision-making.

YOUR PART

WHAT CAN I DO TO CONTRIBUTE? As a member you can participate by serving on the Board of Directors, helping the Social Activity Committee operate the facilities, assisting the Maintenance department, attending General Members' Meetings to name a few. Now, this may not sound particularly exciting but lets look at the options:

Option 1:

OR

Option 2:

You could stay in your room, do all your studying and then read a good book

You could GET OUT and meet some TERRIFIC people (after you study of course!).

No one is expecting you to spend all your free time helping out, just two hours a month (0.3% of your time!). Some of the benefits of getting involved are: connecting with other members, having fun, and contributing something significant.

THE LIST OF IDEAS INCLUDE: Joining a club or committee or start one

yourself (talk to your CA first). Some committees from previous years; Movie, Newsletter, Reading Buddies, Social Awareness, Environment and Fundrajsing (for local charities).

A FEW REMAINDERS ABOUT SECURITY IN THE BUILDING:

ENTERING THE BUILDING

During the school year, the ENTRANCE ~ DOORS ARE LOCKED, please use your

'"'" ~ key and don't let anyone in who isn't a member. The front desk staff on duty

will always ask you for your 10 to make sure they know who you are. All Guests must sign in at the front desk.

LOCKOUTS

If you LOCK YOURSELF OUT of your unit there is a charge of $5.00 that must be paid immediately. If you LOSE YOUR KEY and are in a multi-unit you will be asked to pay for the charge to replace all locks in the multi-unit. This could cost up to $100.00.

HERE'S THE LINEUP OF YOUR CSRS:

GUESTS

You are RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR GUESTS, so make sure you know who you are letting into your unit, especially if you share a multi-unit. You have the right to make a complaint if your unitmate is allow-ing a friend to stay overnight in your unit without your permission and NO GUEST may stay more than 10 aggregate nights in a multi-unit.

NOISE/PARTYING

Members have THE RIGHT TO QUIET enjoyment of their environment. If a member complains of exces-sive noise, security will come up to address the issue with you. Your co-operation is much appreciated.

[THE MSRS LINE-UP WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE FALL] -----II

WHAT CAN YOU GET AT THE FRONT DESK?

WE HAVE ADOPTED YOUR PARENT'S RULES:

CLEAN YOUR ROOM IF YOU MAKE A MESS, CLEAN IT UP! III, That's the jist of what you have to

remember while you live here. - ~ If you live in a shared unit, you

have to EQUALLY SHARE the responsibility of keeping your unit

clean and damage free. If you fail to do so, we have to charge you, which we really don't like to do. There are two annual inspections performed every term in the multi-units to make sure you are keeping your unit clean. Your Residence Assistant will also let you know on a regular basis if your unit is getting out of hand, but hopefully you will find it in yourselves to keep it clean.

WARNING! The average cost to clean a unit is $325.00 by a contract cleaning company and we have charged members in the past. This is shared EQUALLY amongst all members, unless you report to your Residence Assistant that your unitmates refuse to share the cleaning.

NEED SUPPLIES? WE ENCOURAGE a clean building so we supply everything you need! You can get garbage bags, cleansers, lightbulbs, rubber gloves, vacuums and putty at the front desk. What could be easier?

MOVE-IN INSPECTION FORM As a member, you are responsible for filling in your MOVE-IN INSPECTION FORM. Please complete it within 15 days after move-in. This form may be your only recourse in any damage deposit dispute. Hand it into the front desk.

24

Upon move-out, you will also be required to fill in a MOVE-OUT INSPECTION FORM. Once the form is filled out, please hand it into the front desk. Maintenance will arrange to inspect your unit. If there are any discrepancies between the move-in and move-out forms, you will be charged according to the damage.

KEYS You will have to pay $10.00 for a SPARE KEY. ANY KEY NOT RETURNED to us at move-out will cost $10.00 except for parking keys which are $25.00. LOST KEYS to a multi-unit may cost more as we will have to charge for changing all the locks in the unit.

Please note that. II

ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS HOTEL STATISTICS: ABOUT WYCIK IS THAT WE CONVERT APPROXIMATELY

HALF OUR UNITS INTO A HOTEL EVERY SUMMER I Yep - a regular hotel with visitors from all OVER THE WORLD. Many students leave Wycik in the summer when school is over which leaves us a partially empty building. What could have resulted in an enor-mous financial problem for Wycik (we still have to pay our mortgage, our utilities, property taxes and

other operating costs) we instead oper-ate a profitable summer hotel.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES The hotel has also benefited members by providing SUMMER EMPLOYMENT to over 35 people in housekeeping, front desk and the cafeteria. During May and June, when we have hotel vacancies, we are able to paint, patch and fix up the units that may have experienced damage through the school year thus limiting disruption to members.

THE WORD IS GETTING OUT! The hotel has grown and become more well-known throughout the world. WE ARE PUBLISHED in the famous "Let's Go" guides, Lonely Planets Travel Books, Frommer's, Fodor's, the CAA handbooks, Tourism Toronto maps and brochures, etc. This advertising has increased the public's knowledge of Neill-Wycik and has often been the reason we have attracted new members "Moosaic Moose" to Neill-Wycik during the school year.

NEILL-WYCIK TELEPHONE SYSTEM (NWTEL)

Neill-Wycik installed a building wide phone system three years ago to provide a LOWER COST alternative to

our members. Any surpluses generated are put back into the

co-op for future upgrades. The addi-tion of NWTEL as a mandatory service cost to be incorporated with multi-units housing charges, was recently approved by the membership. This move and ultimately the mandatory building-wide cover-age of NWTEL will eventually allow us to offer new services such as call display and internet access. Rather than make Ma Bell wealthy, why not con-tribute that money towards the co-op!

THE BENEFITS For the same above service that we provide, Bell Canada charges over $35.00. In addition, NWTEL NWTEL has the added benefit that if you move within the building there is no added cost, we transfer your phone for free. Bell charges a moving fee of $55.00. Your phone can also be hooked up within hours rather than days. We also offer a very competitive long distance plan with our chosen carrier.

More information will be forthcoming in the move-in packages or when you move into the building. Not only do you get great rates, but the commission goes back to our building!

SIGNING UP AND SERVICE To SIGN-UP you can fill out the pre-registration form you received in our move-in package or visit the staff at the Front Desk.

NEILL-WYCIK HAS A BURSARY PROGRAM!

THE NEILL-WYCIK BURSARY is an award based on financial need, without undue emphasis on a student's academic standing. There will be four bursaries of $500.00 each per school year avail-able to members in financial need. Two bursaries will be given in the fall, and the remaining two will be given out in the winter.

SOURCE OF BURSARY FUNDS Money for the Bursary Program has been gener-ously donated from two sources: $1000.00 per year will come from the Board of Director's budget and the other $1000.00 per year will be provided by Coca-Cola Ltd.

DISBURSEMENT The applications for fall Bursaries will be available starting the first week of September and accepted until September 30, 1998. Two Bursaries will be awarded by mid-November. Applications for winter Bursaries will be available sometime in December and will be accepted until January 15, 2000. Two Bursaries will be awarded sometime in late February or early March.

ELIGIBILITY TO BE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY for a Neill-Wycik Bursary, you must be a member in good standing and you must have lived at Neill-Wycik for a mini-mum of 4 months at the time of application. Returning members who lived here for a minimum of 4 months last school year are also eligible. You must be an undergraduate or teacher's college student who is currently enrolled in at least 51 % of a full course load, and you must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.

Because graduate students can pursue alternate sources of funding, the Bursary will not be open for them. The major consideration of the Bursary Committee will be financial need, but your contri-butions to the Neill-Wycik community over and above minimal Member Contribution Program requirements will also be an important factor.

For more Infonnation on the Neirl-Wycik Bursary program, please feef free. to inquire in the Co-op Officiron lt1e 2200 floor.
