Eat my words or what? One week'after my portraying stu- dents as self-satisfied pigs, 1 suddenly find them to come to life in support of our mai- nenance workers. And a plea- sant surpirse indeed. The ser- ies of events of the past two weeks have made it plain to all concerned that there are a great munber of individuals who are definately coming into their own around U.P.E.I. Whether due to freshman or tenured prof, there seems to be a common bond of disgrunt— led steam seeping from under. the lid of the pot we call , U.P.E.I. Every one had a stake in the show. Out of 1485 stu— dents, 750 odd voted of which 450 voted to shut down. There were, surprisingly enough, only around 60 people who Wished to wash their hands of the issue and carry on their normal day—to—day cocoon—type existence. Even the ones who

Social Complaints

Dear‘Editor,_

Since all students pay"1 a $40.00 student union fee at the beginning of each school year, why is it then still a practice to bar a certain percentage of us from social functions such as dances?Why'not_let every -one in?The more the merrier. Also,when a dance is held in the gym,it is the inten: tion to let a bigger crowd in.So why is theidance floor about 1/3 of the regular size of the barn?

When a dance is sponsor- ed for the sole purpose of sitting down and getting drunk,then he'd stay at home or go to a bar.It's fine to let guests attend the dances but why allow 1 droves of strangersin with— out even showing some sort of I.D.A certain member of the Campus Police also let 3 girls in ahead of a long line-up standing outside waiting for about an hour, freezingin the rain! Talk about sex discrimination}!

This universtty in its sev- enth year of existence is fin- ally coming around. First came amalgamation and then came the

Now we see surfacing an auto— nomous body consisting of the majority of beingwho inhab- it ﬁ.P.E.I., be they students, faculty, or support staff. There are numerous faces emer- ing from the woodwork, deadly tired of a few individuals in a position to disperse and dictate power according to, their own ends..

Dear Editor,

This letter is written in reply to the letter which appeared in the Oct. 2l§£ editon of the "Cadre" written by Laurie Quiggen "Kip—get it On".

All I'd like to say is that I enjoy Kip's articles,

I and wish there were more in—

you're so quick to shoot down Kip, Laurie, then I suggest you get off your ass and write something

‘better!! I'm sure the "Cadre"

would accept'your efforts.

However, rest assured my friends — it won't take an— other seven years. This is' only the dawning of the shape of things to come.

P.S. My thanks to all students who worked on the boycott. And thanks to all who helped whe— ther on the line or as 'go— fers'.

My thanks to all these who stayed home. I hope the other things you did were rewarding.

My thanks to the faculty who vgave their support to mainte— naﬁ Se and students. The majo- rity of profs, although fence— sitters, definitely provided strong support to the students by their words, if not by their actions.
