     issue of the Guardian,Dennis, 
     
     Clough replied to my article 
     
     on staff salaries. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Clough stated that he did 
     
     not know whether the poverty 
     
     lines were appropriate to the 
     
     Island or nOt. These levels 
     
     were established by the Senate 
     
     Committee for all of Canada, 
     
    

    
     if anything they should be 
     
     higher on P.E.I. The figures 
     
     are available to show that 
     
     living on P.E.I. costs more 
     
     than a lot of places in Canada. 
     
     Food prices here are extremely 
     
     high and therefore it costs more 
     
     to eat. The rate for rent is 
     
     not to be believed in this 
     
     province. With these two factors 
     
     at least equal to or higher 
     
     than the national average, how 
     
     can Dennis question whether or 
     
     not the poverty lines apply to 
     
     the Island. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Clough has set himself up 
     
     as a defender of regional dis— 
     
     parity. He said,"We are pay— 
     
     ing the going rates. Also, we 
     
     compete on a national/market 
     
     for our professional staff... 
     
     we compete on a provincial level 
     
     for non-instructional personnel." 
     
     With the rest of Canada try- 
     
     ing to alleviate regional dis— 
     
     parity, Denny, singlehandedly 
     
     is trying to maintain it. He 
     
     must be willing to accept that 
     
     some people be paid provincial 
     
     levels so why doesn't Denny 
     
     accept it totally. Is his

     The enrollment this year at St. Dun- 
     
     stan's is the largest in the history of 
     
     the institution, there being some three. 
     
     hundred students in attendance. The add— 
     
     itional living quarters provided by the 
     
     erection of‘Memorial Hall have enabled 
     
     the University to accept approximately 
     
     Seventy-five students more than in for- 
     
     ‘mer years. Even yet, however, applica— 
     
     tions for admission had to be turned do 
     
     down due to the fact that no more living 
     
    
   
   
    
     staff.

     The University should be the 
     
     leader in attempting to rid the 
     
     Maritimes of their poverty. One 
     
     way in which they can do that, 
     
     is to pay decent wages all 
     
     across the board. 
     
    

    
     The inaccuracies that Denny 
     
     mentioned are not false. There 
     
     is, and I have received my in- 
     
     formation from a very reliable

     source, one person making 
     
     $4,122 and they have been here 
     
     for 20 years. If I am wrong 
     
     all Denny has to do is show me 
     
     the list of staff salaries and 
     
     I will make the appropriate 
     
     correction. 
     
    

    
     The point about negotiations 
     
     is equally true. The faculty 
     
     can negotiate their individual 
     
     salaries with the Administration 
     
     I found this point from faculty 
     
     members who have negotiated 
     
     their contracts. As the scale 
     
     says, there are minimum wages 
     
     for faculty. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Clough has asked me where 
     
     We are going to get money to 
     
     pay for decent'salaries. The 
     
     answer could be in the form of 
     
     a question. The wages paid to 
     
     the Administration could be cut 
     
     back, the progress fund is 
     
     raising $10,000,000 for this 
     
     university to construct nice 
     
     buildings. If this much can be 
     
     raised for building purposes, 
     
     the finances must also be avail- 
     
     able to pay decent salaries. 
     
    

    
     If this is not the case, hold 
     
     off building until we can afford 
     
     to. 
     
    

    
     The attitude taken by Mr.Clough 
     
     is the common in this society. 
     
     The material forms of buildings 
     
     are more important than people. 
     
    

    
     I will continue for as long 
     
     as I am able to attack this 
     
     basic philosophy of western 
     
     society. we must put people 
     
     before progress.

     or do you remember 
     
    
   
   
    
     quarters were available. The large num*‘ 
     
     ber of applications received is an in- 
     
     dication of the general recognition of 
     
    
   
   
    
     the need for education in our modern 
     
     society. It is also a vindecation of 
     
    
   
   
    
     the judgment of those who foresaw the 
     
    
   
   
    
     need for expansion at St. Dunstan's

     to erect this new building, and the 
     
    

    
     cost of it certainly must have been 
     
     high. It is hoped that the students of 
     
     St. Dunstan's will not be unmindful 
     
    

    
     of those whose untiring efforts and gen— 
     
     erouscontributions made this building 
     
     possible. One way by which they can 
     
    

    
     give tangible evidence of their grat-
