     ‘TEiN'ANCE , Ip‘LE ' ON WEEKEND 
     
    
   
   
    
     By John Cairns 
     
    

    
     Last weekend Charlottetown 
     
     endured a subStantial 
     
     snowfall. Throughout the 
     
     city, snow removal crews 
     
     were diligently clearing 
     
     streets and facilitating 
     
     movement of both vehicles 
     
     and-pedestrians. 
     
    

    
     AtZUPEl there was no 
     
     such activity. The snow 
     
     remained Where it fell, 
     
     and it obstructed roads, 
     
     filled parking lots, and 
     
     blocked footpaths. 
     
     maintenance crews do not 
     
     work on weekends, and this 
     
     fact triggered nUmerous 
     
     complaints to the §yflJ 
     
    

    
     :Most of the protests 
     
     came from students, but 
     
     the most wholehearted one 
     
     was voiced by.a member of, 
     
     the university Security 
     
     Department; The officer 
     
     had driven to work 
     
     sometime Sunday morning, 
     
     and found only one lane 
     
     open into the university. 
     
     from Belvedere Avenue. 
     
    

    
     He slowly proceeded, but 
     
     unlUckily he met a car 
     
     moving in the opposite 
     
     direction. In the 
     
     interest of politeness he 
     
     pulled to the.side to let 
     
     the other vehicle pass, 
     
     .and immediately his car 
     
     was stuck solidly. it 
     
     took half an hour of pushing‘ 
     
     and shovelling to release 
     
     it. . ,

     “Plowing through that 
     
    

    
     much snow is no fun. When 
     
     you have to get around in

     The officer had no doubt 
     
     the campus should be accessible 
     
     regardless of both snow

     and two plows, he felt, 
     
     could easily move enough

     know, but in the interest 
     
    
   
   
    
     6f fairness, one has to 
     
     admit that on Monday our 
     
     snow removal crew was 
     
     extremely active. Long 
     
    
   
   
    
     before noon the paths 
     
     around campus were in good 
     
     walking order while the 
     
    
   
   
    
     . parking lot and roads
