! / FEBRUARY 3,1970 ‘ Foster resigns i * "from SJC by Jim Hornby Stephen Foster has resign- ed as chairman of the Stud- ent Judicial Committee (SJC) because the committee was placed under censure by the Student Union Council at its regular Thursday night meet- ing on January 22. Foster does not feel that the judiciary can function under probationary situation that censure implies. The censure stems from an incident in which an arborite table in Duffy was marked by a student, and the SJC closed‘ down all student activities until the person responsible was identified. The shut- down never really went into effect, as it was withdrawn an hour before its first test, a varsity sports event. In a letter to Council, Fos- ter wrote: “The real, and very import- ant issue at stake in this mat- ter is whether or not the Students’ Union Council has the right to place its court on , probation. _ “I do not question your right to impeach any member of the judiciary for irrespon- sible, prejudiced, or self-in- terestedl actions. I do, how- ever, question the unrestrict- ed control and consequent in- timidation which probation- ary power places in the hands of the legislative and eXecu- tive branches.” ‘ He indicated in the letter what action he would take if the censure was passed; he feels that Council, in passing censure, did not consider the implications of its actions re his resignation. Foster re- affirmed his resignation by phone to SU President Keav- eny after it was not dealt with at the Council meeting. Keaveny gave the opinion that the SJC action was “ir- responsible,” and added that, “every time a student does something, the SJ C isn’t go- ing to shut the campus down.” Agnew burst hushed WASHINGTON (UPS) -— The thirteen year-old daugh- ter of Vice-President Spiro Agnew has been charged with marijuana possession but \ then released without- penal- ty. This story has been hush- ed up by the whitehouse but uncovered. by the Washing- ton Free Press, a member of the underground press cyn- . dicate. Elinor Kimbersky Agnew, known as Kim to her family, participated in a marijuana party at the fashionable Na- tional Catherdale School in Washington, DC. early in June. She was caught along with nine school mates. One of the girls was expelled, four suspended, but no penalties were imposed on Kim and four other girls. Reporters from the major Washington newspaper a n d wire services descended upon the Washington Free Press when the story broke in the small underground newspap- er, checked the story out at the National Catherdale School but not a single line on the matter has appeared any place but the underground press. Timothy Leary, upon hear- ing of the latest, in a chain of famous people’s children to be busted for the posses- sion of grass, has prepared a questionnaire addressed to all _ United States legislators. “Do your kids smoke, and are they in favour ofhars'her penalties for this habit?” Leary concluded his question'- naire by saying, “And if you haven’t asked them about this subject, what gives you the right to pass legislation sending other people’s kids to Jal .’ “NEXUS” yearbook name by Mike MCGaughey By devious means (one of our spies shoved an envelope under our door) The Cadre recently learned the name of the UPEI yearbook for 1970'. This first historic periodical will be named simply ‘Nexus’. , The name was submitted by Vilna Louisy, who receiv- ed $25for her efforts. In des- cribing the rationale behind the suggested nomenclature, Vilna delved into the meaning of it’s root word to provide us with an explanation. It seems that the word “NEXUS” comes from the , Latin “nectere” m e an 1' n g “that Which joins together”, “a connection, tie, or link be- tween individuals of a group, members of a series, or the group or seriés itself.” This difinition was then ‘ tied in wi h the existing sit- nation as ilna sees it. First- ly, UPEI was formed by the amalgamation of two univer- sities, secondly the yearbook is the link which joins: all as- ' pects of campus life together, thirdly college life is a link , in the student’s own life, and finally college life can be lik- ened to a “chain in which everyone is a link.
