After listening to the carplaints and cements L- that students have made about particular depart- ments, the SIN decided to conduct its own in- quiry.
It was decided that 'each department Should be examined by students who are majoring in that department. Each of the questions asked“ in tie surveygseflects the con— cerns of students, and wlrerever possible, the
I
opinions of the students are presented in their entirety, wrere space permits. .

Seals Not Endangered
Cogni'f from p.
hunters working with cold, 7 half frozen fingers, slippery with blood, would find it much easier to skin a dead seal than one which is alive and trying to escape.
In the modern seal hunt, the club is the only legal method of killing seal pups. A blow of the Club crushes the bones of the skull and causes instant death. Shooting is used to kill adult Hood 'seals because clubbing them is difficult. . ’ - Other killing methods used in Canada were made illegal because they were considered cruel. These methods are gaffing, kicking, quihtering and netting. These methods are responsible for the cruelty many people . associate with the hunt. _
'Jhe hunt also“ provides an effective means of \ controlling the popula- tion of Harp seals.
Even now with the yearly hunt, the seal herd is increasing in size. Dan Wilson on CFCY's "Contact" (Mard: 6, 1981) quoted the Dept. of Fisheries as saying the population is grouting at a rate of
1.7 percent. If the

There's room right now in the Prince Edward Island Regiment for a few people who would like a stimulating part—time job. You can be trained in a variety of skills, and be qualified to take summer employment
in various parts of Canada and Europe. '
You may have to wear your hair a little shorter because, when it's too long, it can get in your way.
It would be an awful shame ‘if it got in YOUR way. Call the Prince Edvard Island Regiment any weekday.
