Terrorists take over CIMN

ARMED TERRORISTS took control of the broadcast booth at CIMN last Wednes-

day night and _ broadcast pleas for money to the Char- lottetown listening audience. Demanding more money for UPEI and especially Arts funding, the three-member group held the station from midnight to 1:30 as their con- tribution to National Week of Action.

Armed with what was described as ‘incense sticks

and wreaths’, the terrorists —

broadcast 60’s music by can- dle light and pleaded with he audience for song re- juests in support of Action Week.

The group’s leader, iden- tified only as ‘The Mid- ite Intern’, was remorseless tbout their actions.

“We took it because it ‘as student week of action ‘nd what better action than ake over the radio station”, te said. “The show is nor- nally 60’s music so we de- \ded to make a protest in '0’s fashion. It was a revo- Utionary action... Berkeley Ptyle.” : . Once ton, the

“We asked them if it would be all right to pirate the broadcast... they said it would be okay”, said the leader.

Also contacted was the local media. The members say they were interviewed over the phone by John Eden at CFCY about their protest and the reasons behind it.

s Bhe stated that their main moti- vation for the action was un- derfunding to UPEI and to the arts programs in partic- ular. The group said that of the money UPEI has for its programs, most is going to the Atlantic Veterinary col- -lege while liberal arts pro- grams are cut back.

terrorists

Dresses in what they de- scribed as ‘ceremonial pais- ley’, the group ended their broadcast at 1:30 to flee be- fore authorities arrived. The leader said that although it was their first terrorist action, they were properly trained. :

“We didn’t have the ca- pacity to take on security for ourselves. So we were flown

. to a (terrorist) camp in the

Laurentians for training”, he said.

Asked if they planned to take similar action in the fu- ture, the leader said it is a definate possibility.

“It’s a calling. We’re go- ing to take this up for the rest of our lives.”

Because it seems to take such dramatic measures as funerals and terrorist take- overs to draw attention to the plight of higher edu- cation, the group’s leader said he was glad there was a degree-granting course

in underground activities at UPEI.

“Tt’s called Spelunking 101”, he said, “and it con- tinues into a degree in your senior year.” The leader said that the tradition of spelunk- ing at UPEI is ideal training for underground: work. a

YEARBOOK LATE DUE TO LACK OF ORGANIZATION

THE 1986/87 YEAR- BOOK is half finished, says editor James Connolly and will not be available until at least June. The yearbook, which normally is available by October of the following year, has suffered several set-

backs.

Connolly says that a lack of organization, little from the publishing pany, and continual problems have been the greatest causes for the late book.

“Disorganization was the biggest problem that befell me’, says Connolly. ot wasn’t sure how to organize the staff or the book prop- erly, and as. each problem occurred, it just added one more step to the disorgani- zation.”

help com-

Connolly says that the publishing company, Inter Collegiate Press, supplies materials to produce a year- book at the beginning of the academic year, and expect new yearbook staff to at- tend a course they provide to instruct them how to use it. Connolly says that by the time anyone was aware a course was being given, it had passed.

“T was left with a lit- tle guidebook 12 pages long”’, says Connolly.

Connolly says that this, and the fact that the previ- ous yearbook editor gradu- ated, left him with very lit- tle idea about how to put the book together.

Renovations of Main Building added to organiza- tion problems as well. Un- til April 1987, the yearbook

office was on the 4th floor of Main. When the building closed, Connolly says every- thing had to be packed up ready for moving just before final exams and it took until the second week of June be- fore the boxes showed up in their new office space.

“T don’t know where it

in-between”, he says. “We were the last ones out of the building”.

Staff prob- lems apparently occurred as well, Connolly says that between November 1987 to January he lost contact with Jan Underhill, the yearbook photographer, and is miss- ing many pictures of sports teams. After Christmas, he says his two staff volunteers left because he had nothing for them to do.

was

Connolly also says that contact was minimal with Paul Ledwell, Student Union VP Academic in charge of overseeing the yearbook.

“During second semester I talked to Paul once, maybe twice”, he says.

One of the VP Aca- demics duties include insur- ing that the yearbook is on schedule and to help out with problems that may arise.

Connolly says that he has one half of the yearbook completed and does not fore- see any more delays. He says it takes 18 weeks for the pub- lishing company to print the book once he gets the pages submitted, so it should be available to students no later than June. 3
