While no decision has been made by the department many Stud- ents feel that what they call a “humanistic” approach to psych is doomed at UPEI. Dr. Chiang takes what he feels to be a more open approach. He said “Humanism is a vital part of Psych, but not the only part.” He went on to ex- plain how Humanistic psych stresses man the “human being” instead of “man the machine.” He said a “basic characteristic of behavioristic psych is the pre-assumption that man is basically a ma- chine. ' Dr. Sharkey is rumored to have told students and facul- ty that Humanism is not psych. Dr. Chiang said this statement was correct. Asked to comment on the situation, Dr. Sharkey said that there was some discussion in the department, but no decision had been made. He did not know whether or not “hum- anistic” Psych would remain in the Psych department at UPEI. Dan Weiner, faculty mem- ber in the Psych department said that “to say it is mere- ly a question of different ap— proaches to psych is mislead— ing. It is also a question of differences in philosophies of Education. It is a question of how we teach. He feels that Education should motivate the student to pursue the type of learning he feels he wants. He feels that Dr. Sharkey takes a more tradi- tional approach stressing lec- tures and looking at Psych as a science in a strict sense. It looks like the question is far from settled, and what- ever the outcome should be interest of students. Keaveny delivers union (address UPEI Student Union Pre- sident John Keaveny called for student involvement on a community, national and glo— CADRE to fold? Jim Hornby, Editor-in—chief of The CADRE, recently an- nounced! that the paper might soon either have to fold or alter its frequency to “When.- ever we feel like getting it out.” The decision was reached, said Hornby, after a meeting of all staff present last Sun- day evening. Reasons given for this position were: lack of typists, columnists, repor- ters, sports writers, a busi- ness manager, =ad people, typewriters and like that. “The face that we may be evicted from our present of- fices and moved to a broom closet off the campus police office on the Malpeque cam- pus, merely hastened our de- cision,” said Hornby. He did reveal, however, that the final decision on the fate of the paper would not be made until early in the new year. bal scale in a “direction of the union” address last week at Duffy Ampi-theatre. At the community level, Keaveny wants to dispel the popular image that students are “drug-taking, longhaired, bearded ingrates who do noth— ing but protest and decry so- ciety and who (make no real contribution”. He spoke of council plans for communication and assis- tance to high schools, penal institutions, the underprivil- edged, welfare cases, and the aged, other students, and in- terested groups. He revealed that the stud ents union would seek the ap- pointment of a provincial Ombudsman similar to those appointed in other provinces. He said “It is important to note that we will begin to ac- cept the responsibility to seek reform, not merely within the university, but within 0 u r community as well.” The internal plans for the union include a weekly coun- cil news bulletin, a radio sta- tion by march, and a student union building to be complet- ed by next December.
