3ear Editor,

Welcome back to our tight little society here on the university campus where the only'freedom the students have is free— dom of press. Thank God we can at least express our— selves in the CADRE. Of course so many students feellit's useless to bother talking and getting upset over things they can't change, that they feel it's a waste of time to sit down and write a com— plaint in the campus news— paper) However, I know you must have a sympathetic and understanding ear so I will not be afraid to tell you my troubles.

my troubles are, in a general statement, that everything is being run

‘this year, as usual, by

a few elites for a few elites. It makes me sick. A very small but highly annoying example is the following tale of woe

which I am about to relate.,

Thursday night three students decided they'd like to go to the Pig n' Whistle to tie one on. I unfortunately, was one of them. We were bluntly de— nied entrance by a very dis—courteous campus cop who is obviously on a power trip. He told us that the capacity of 750‘ was already filled. Well, his attitude was bad en- ough, but his inefficiency as door man was even worse. What I would like to ask the Student Union is this: Why haven't you hired campus police that will . make sure U.P.E.I. stud— ents are admitted to the Pig n' Whistles ahead of Holland College, P.V.I.,

town Rural students - to say nothing of all the minors that are admitted weekly? Approximately 1700 people paid high Student Union fees this year.

1700 peeple are being ch— eated out of facilities that they support. Unfort- unately almost all of them

don't really care. It's

'$X cheques did not buy

- a bloody shame that young

adults in 1974, in a supp- osedly democratic country on’a supposedly democratic campus, can let themselves be led like a heard of cattle and treated with even less respect.

The whole subject of campus politics and gov- ernment disgusts me since it is such a farce. So I am going to make only one' appeal: If the Student Union isn't going to shape up and see that students are allowed to excercise their rights, then the students themselves, who have power in numbers at least, must begin this

” semester with a firm res-

olution that they will ’demand their rights a little more strongly. By the way, if verbal means are not enough, there are other ways.

Dear Editor, * I enjoyed your article

agreed with all three ar—

ticles and the arguments

presented but what really

bugs me is the fact that

lots of people complain

about the present-system . and that's as far as it

ldn't last long without them (or their money, the latter seeming to be more important). I paid my taxes to support this place just like any bus— iness man downtown and what I've seen of some of those who'do come’out to U.P.E.I. on "business", I'd say’they need the Vexercise walking up from the back parking lots 3 whole lot worse than I do!

goes. We complain verb- ally to our peers, we write and speak about it through our media but we neVer force the issue any further. I'm probably as bad as the next person for being an outstanding mem- ber of the silent majority. ~ I would really like to see

the Student Union take up some of these causes in— stead of always looking for new ways to run a Pig n' Whistle. Students need to gain back the respect they once had and this might be a good way of starting. I would cer— tainly give my support to this sort of endeavour.

Yours truly

Vice—President of

the Silent Majority

Dear Editor,

After reading the paper (Sept 24) I noticed three particular articles that each had a pertinent beef to point out to the read— ing public; the editorial on the library check—out system, Kampus Koncern on the Visitors Parking probe lem, and Fred von Dreger's . brief on Second Class Cit- . ‘ Jizens in Air Travel. I

on the parking lots..imm-.h ensely but the only real heart—ache is in theory (thank goodnessll). That vital pink slip doesn't scare too many visitors and I haven't seen 1ine—' ups of students over at the Business Office hand— 'ing over hard cash for 'their misdeameanors. In other words, if you get 7 into a visitors parking lot and escape unnoticed from your car, the only grief you experience is the removal and disposal of the ticket. \ Among those strewn over campus I have even seen some in the paper air- ~ plane shape. Do you stud- ents out there realize those tickets(cum airpla- nes) are contributing to your awareness of physics? Well, anyhow, you get the idea. Its too bad somebody wouldn't clean up the act a bit. Those

them a piece of pavement. And nvone can say that students don't have bus—

iness on campus — it won—
