To the Editor

The Cadre ’

c/o UPEI SU

UPEI Charlottetown

I wish to congratulate you on the last issue of the "Cadre" (Apr.ll,'73) es- pecially your expose on non-academic employee sal- aries. You are right, those people are obviously getting a raw deal, and it's about time someone did something about it. But what can you do Stan— it is not your place to get involved so 'far as negotiations are con- cerned? the administration has a tight policy (dec- repid though it is) and, legally they could prevent you from participating actively since you are not an employee. Just how can these evil menaces be checked? I wish I could help, but there is little I can do.

_Sincerely yours, Sandy Treman

Dear Sandy:

I appreciate your concern Sandy, you are right,there is little I can do so far as direct action is con- cerned, however, as editor of the Cadre, it is not my place to become actively involved in those issues pertaining to the UPEI work- er. The Cadre us a medium for expression of those im- portant issues. we can ask questions, however, and if dialogue can be established then we will have made a valid contribution.

It is not easy when you. are confronted with a cor—

, rupt administration which

does not know the meaning of truth and justice. In— deed, when I am finished compiling the information which demonstrated just how corrupt this administration is and have it published, we may then have an opportunity to restructure this univer- sity on a basis of truth, understanding, and a sense of justice and equality, instead of personal gain, greed, lies, and deceit. Until then, however, we will have to wait for the outsome of the expose.

Yours sincerely, Stan Dalton

Dear Mr. Editor:

In a very short time you and your staff have written about many things of concern to all. Your approach is courageous to the point of sheer boldness. Must you be so "dynamic" in your articles? Is this really neceSsary?‘ Other newspapers also talk about the same topics you do, but they are more gentle in their approach f I feel more secure reading an article that has a "gentle" approach rather than one which is on - the all—out attack. Could you tone-down your approach? I'm sure many more people would gidmade.much happier if you

Fearfully yours, Mary Jensen

Dear'Mary:-

To begin with,_we are not a newspaper in the sense that the "Guardian" and "Patriot" are: we do carry some news, but our prime concern is to address ourselves to those extremely important issues so vital to human existence. Granted, other papers also talk about these things, but only insofar as they may happen to be "newsworthy", _they do not commit them- selves to raising issues as we do because that(unfortuné ately) is not their prime concern.

Our "dynamic" approach, as ~you put it, is inevitable due to the urgency of con- fronting the most important problems of human existence. When one is immersed, per— sonally, in these issues, he has much at stake as to the

'outcome of the search for

truth, etc. Our very lives depend on it, if you will. Without committment and passion, one will never even come close to resolving (if'"’ that is possible) those ex- tremely important problems. Such passion and committment is absent in the"Guardian" or "Patriot" because they are set up merely to reflect Island "averageness" or, mediocrity. Economic matt- ers are of more concern to those papers than the un-‘ profitable (monetary, that is) concern for truth.

Yours sincerely, Stan Dalton

Mr. Editor:

Our fathers and theirs, spent their lives building this society to where it now is: you Mr. Dalton, among others, seem intent on tear- ing it down. Have you no re— gard for the past? for their efforts? It seems to me that you don't! What if you should succeed: what would you re- place it with? Ybu do a lot of talking about the present system but you do not pro— pose anything in its place. Unless you can posit some- thing substantial I suggest you shut up! "

Yburs, Paul Paulinski

Dear Mr. Paulinski:

Thank you for writing.

It seems to me that you've read my articles very one- sidedly. Let me point out

to you that so long as we

feel we owe a debt of gratitude to the past we shall hinder, or fail to see, the significance of the present.’

Granted, our fathers may have worked hard, but any rewards that work merited, _went to them (unless they . hoped to be rewarded in the
