Dear Sir:

Mrs. Cregier's curious portrait of the UPEI fac- ulty as a gang of hard-core, bibbers may have raised a ' laugh or two by its very in- congruity. But however rid— iculous the idea might be of our "gowned"(?) "wastrels" tottering toward their cars after their one glass of sherry, beer or (good griefl) wiskey, in the event that there is somewhere a naive freshman whose eyes popped on reading the lady's hair raising account, I must in— form him that he can care-

Mr. Editor:

I was quite amused by the“ response in the (Oct.30, issue) to my letter from our friendly neighborhood philosopher--Prof. Joe ,Naylor. Believe it or not, I tend to agree with some of his disagreements! _ Sure, "one cannot begin by telling the patient to shut-up". Freud would never have told his patien- ts to speak "clearly and without confusion": he had this "complex" about los- ing his practice you know.‘ Even then, imagine Freud saying "Remain conqued-— you have nothing to lose

fully replace his eyeballs in their sockets.

Mrs. Cregier's highly—colr oured comments stem from

a Vivid or possibly over- wrought imagination. They are certainly not based on experience as she never has seen a Happy Hour. I would suggest that she has never seen a "reeking" professor mouthing vapour- ous platitudes to a class on Friday afternoon. " "Demon Rum" certainly.con—r jures up sordid visions in the minds of the impression- able, but shows a preoccugr

but your rationality"! "language games" with you-“ _but imagine him saying:

"Play the game as if the

"ball" belonged to you and you alone-—and of course,

’ make up your own rules as

you go along".

Moral: Your ball, your rules Headsi-you win and ” tails-—I lose!

ation, in Mrs. Cregier's case, with 19th century 'novelettes rather than the modest reality of the one or two hours exercise in camaraderie which the more sociable members of faculty might undertake from timer to time during the latter half of a Friday afternoon. Perhaps it has not occurred to Mrs. Cregier that facil* ities for drinking abound elsewhere\and the reason fiir ‘ the Happy Hour in the Lounge is to provide a time slot when colleagues can meet

'socially and enjoy each

others company, not to drink.

Dear Editor:

1 This is with reference to Professor Rahmans commentary oanr. Dalton's interview. While I cannot say I was moved toia state of collapse by either Mr. Dalton's in— terview or professor Rahmai's reaction to it. I do find the letter particularly bothersome. : (l) About the Psychological: 'While I would not’presume' to tell professor Rahman his business, I do suggest that to bring psycholoanalytiC' -considerations to bear on an argument in this context is positively pernicious. It reminds me of the ad han— inem arguments that some psychologist of a Freudian persuasion are_prone to re- ly on. This practice removes the possibility of rational debate further. In refer— ence to another implied analogy, I would also like to suggest that it\is far ‘from established that the relationship between cer— tain forms of philosophic argument and the books written out of a certain philosophic tradition is similar to the relation- ship between certain forms
