In February, 1975, an ad hoc committee from Student services was formed consist- ing of Pat Donahue, Marion Morrison, Rev. Ian Glass, and Rev. Gerry Tingley. The prim- ary purpose of this committee was to formulate a residence philosophy for U.P.E.I. The committee met with groups of students in all residences; the dons and head residents in each of the buildings, repres— entatives of the Business Off- ice, and other interested ind- ividuals and groups.

As a result of the interv— iews, the following philosophy regarding residence life was accepted: ‘

1. Any true educational pro- cess pertains to the develop- ment of the total person.

2. Residence life at univ- ersity affords a unique oppo— rtunity.for the university to foster and promote the "Total Person” development mentioned above.

3. Residence life at univ- ersity affords a valuable 1e- arning experience.for students in which they are challenged and helped effectively to a degree not possible in the classroom:

4. The University, there? fore, has.afmoral responsibilty when operating residences to become involved in fostering this full development in the residence experience. 7 Residence life involves

is able to offer support and _ .r' guidance in times of difficulty. ‘ This year we have placed a great deal of emphasis on st— ,affing residences. Four new

head residents have been hired one in each building; ten dons, four in Bernadine Hall, three in Memorial, and three in Bla— nchard Hall. In line with the above philosophy, a great deal of emphasis is being placed on \ the importance of the dons and head residents, in maintaining a healthy, wholesome atmosph— ere in the building. The dons and residents participated in a weekend orientation program which was conducted by Jack Blanchard and Marion Morrison of Student Services. The pur— pose was to build community, become more aware of yourself as a person, and to focus on listening and communication skills. All participants agr-i eed that it was an extremely worthwhile weekend. Weekly meetings are held with the dons,

Residents, and the department

of Student Services, and it is hoped that a follow—up from the Orientation will be held before the end of the semester. We at Student Services k.‘
