Letter to the Editor To the editor: I have been at U.P.E.I. for 3 and a half semesters now, and I have read The Gem at various times throughout this period. I have been amazed at times about the subjects you choose to pub- lish articles on, but I have never been so thoroughly as I was with last weeks article on the C.I.A.U. basketball finals. You printed al- most two pages of graphic de- scriptions of the mens’ games in Halifax, but the Lady Panthers got a mere column.” I’m sorry, but I have to complain. The men LOST. Who cares how the crowd felt while the men were LOSING. The guys are good - SU Election Results President Lisa Murphy VP Finance yes! They had a terrific season - yes! But they LOST!

I can only imagine how dis- appointed they must feel at be- ing ignored by their own cam- pus newspaper, let alone by all the local newspapers and radio stations. I was not only disap- pointed in you but in them as well. Somewhere along the line things have to change. Males are not the only athletes in the world. They are not the only ones that deservé recognition - espe- cially when they LOSE. a face in the crowd Mapus Election Results I am pleased to inform you that the MAPUS membership has elected the following persons to fill its Executive positions for the coming year.
