ning around the Island se— eking out public opinion as to how the University should operate.

STUDENTS WATCH OUT!

The PEI government, led by the infamous Alex Camp- bell sends committees a: round the Island to seek out mmli opinion on concerns m whth the government has an intereSt. Although it boks like the government R trying to find the pro- per course to take guided by "public opinion" so as m meet the peoples needs, mmt they are doing, IN FACT is testing the public m see whether or not they. can get away with implementh ing a program THEY (Gov't) want. Z w confuse and mislead

Hm people and to lead them m believe they are "work- mg in the people's interest"

iBut the facts show that the people seldom, if ever benefitfrom Campbell's sch— .mms.

The Committee on Aims and ObjeCtives guided by Rahman (psychology), LOucks (Chemistry) and Barb Steven- s°n (92g student a minority 0f course; but its good to get a student in on the plot for it gives the appearance Phat the students favor it!) 15 dOing exactly the same thing!! Why?

if they want to retain po- wer and dominance over stu—

'fldents and the educational

process generally, they must jockey their position by ch— anging the rules in their favor! That is why ‘they have held all those meetings to find out "what the people are thinking" "what their expectations are," etc. And this is done like the Camp- bell government, to plan their strategy AGAINST STU- DENTS; to maintain control because they have vested in- terests in maintaining things as they are now.

STUDENTS WATCH OUT! This is a reactionary scheme a- gainst you by the government and the University elite!

If the committee on Aims and objectives was for students why do students. have such a difficult time getting their voices across? An example of this is in the Feb. 4th, 1975 edition of the Cadre, p. 7, written by Jo Anne Ings:

"No matter what the in— itial discussion or the in- tent of the meeting it seem- ed that the conversations & arguments ended up at\the same basis ........"There appears to be TWO CONFLICT— ING ATTITUDES concerning what direction we are head— ing for. The elitests & only/or bureoucrats have 1 idea and sorrowfully have the authority to FULFILL THEIR OWN PERSONAL IDEAS which, in turn, EFFECT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY

.... and those .... perSons (students - SD) who have their ears tuned to the heartbeat of the campus, know or have a fair idea of what direction the Un- iversity should be heading.

Your article is of tremdous importance Jo Anne. With Lousie Mon-—

ld, Richard Willis, Art

Laffin, Colleen warren & David MacRae, the true direction of UPEI is off

to a fine start!

When the USDU is deal— ing with faculty, admin— istrations and government, the students will soon see what measures will have to be taken to ensure they are negotiated with: pro- test, demonstrations, class boycotts, building occupants sit-ins, etc. .

Management will employ

'every means at their dispos-

al to suppress student att-

empts to democratize the

University:

1 setting public opinion a- gainst students;

2 using police force

3 dismissal of student lead- ers;

4 legislating "emergency measures" to outlaw stu— dent demonstrations;

5 attempts to "hit student

There are many nmny others, but these are your principle ones. 'You haVe only yours- elves to rely on at first, but, in the course of the struggle your leaders may be successful in obtain- ing support from the PEI Federation of Labor (Jim Guyurus); National Farmers Union (Urban Laughlin & Allison Ellis ) and other progressive organizations on PEI. Your success will trigger similar struggles right across the North Am- erican Continent, because students are oppressed every where and are in need of ex- emplory leadership which UPEI would provide as the struggle becomes more and more apparent in the mass media.

EQUAL POWER TO THE STUDENTS!
