     Education; that's a big important word in today's society. ' 
     
     Ask any student why he or she is going to university and 
     
    
   
   
    
     the answer will most likely be, "To get an education." 
     
    
   
   
    
     That sounds like a good reason. 
     
    
   
   
    
     But has the mean- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ing of that answer always been obvious or has it changed? 
     
     The very first universities were set up to provide 
     
     the best possible learning conditions in a specialized su- 
     
    
   
   
    
     bject. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Is a university education still considered as this 
     
    
   
   
    
     intense learning? Or has it become a certification? 
     
     And are students now only interested in being certified, | 
     
     that is, getting degrees which society will honor as know- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ledge.. If they are; fine. 
     
    
   
   
    
     However, I think there are a large number of students 
     
    
   
   
    
     who have come to learn and be helped in THEIR learning. 
     
     Maybe universities are now ruled by the almighty dollar, 
     
     and theproduction of Bachelors of Whatever to serve soci- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ety's needs is of first importance. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Even so, that doesn't 
     
    
   
   
    
     mean that those of us who don't care so much about money 
     
     or degrees can't try to make university more meaningful. 
     
     My main concern is the content of our courses, espec- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ially the input to that content. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Unfortunately, it is 
     
    
   
   
    
     taken for granted that the professor decides what he or 
     
    
   
   
    
     she will teach on the individual,.subject. 
     
    
   
   
    
     This is nat- 
     
    
   
   
    
     urally the easiest system but it doesn't necessarily fill 
     
     the needs of the student who is really at university to 
     
    
   
   
    
     lear. 
     
    
   
   
    
     All this system ensures is that the required 
     
    
   
   
    
     subject matter is covered and the student is honestly 
     
    
   
   
    
     "certified. ' 
     
     is never considered. 
     
    
   
   
    
     What ‘the student really wants to learn about 
     
    
   
   
    
     If students want to be certified; okay, we're in good 
     
    
   
   
    
     shape. 
     
     then we're getting nowhere. 
     
    
   
   
    
     But if students are here for meaningful learning, 
     
    
   
   
    
     After all, university is for students.

     Dear Sir: 
     
    

    
     Well, here we are back 
     
     for another year at good ole 
     
     U.P.E.I. It has not changed 
     
     much over the last few years 
     
     since I have been here. 
     
     While this year I am not li- 
     
     ving in the residences, I 
     
     still had the pleasure (?) 
     
     of taking a tour of the most 
     
     famous of all buildings on 
     
     campus, Memorial Hall. I 
     
    
   
   
    
     still see that the administ- 
     
     ration sees fit in not supp- 
     
     lying the guys in this sch- 
     
     ool with all the benefits 
     
     the the other residences 
     
     seem to take for granted. 
     
     What more can be said than 
     
     to go over and have a look 
     
     for yourself and you will 
     
    
   
   
    
     -gee what I mean.
