Let's now assess the candi- dates arguments. ' r

Gordon is a Junior, Polit- ical Science Major who "haSj developed a sense of pride during the first two years at UPEI." Through participaé tion in Winter Carnival and Octoberfest he "has develo— ped an interest in community affairs" in the political

ism!

First, all candidates det— ermine that the problems are'. apathy, financial incompet- ency, poor communication, insufficient use of campus media (Cadre, CSUR), student- faculty gap, gap between SU executive and committee he- ads. And they are right. However, in identifying the symptoms, they have neglec— ted the disease —— Capital- Furthermore, but con-i sistent with their shallow insight -- they all propose immediate solutions to the' ~immediate prOblems. Granted they Can see_poor usage of funds and propose to clamp down on this; but they must

new DDH 280 Destroyers.

No boilers. No stokers. No sweat!

The power within these beautiful ships comes from jet turbine engines. The machinery that heats, cools. ventilates and provides water throughout these ships is the latest.

Maritime Engineering Officers on these ships work with some of the most sophisticated equipment in the world...with expertly trained men who are as proud of their work as they are of their ships.

. If you're studying engineering. think about this Officer's job. it's a very special one. It Could take you anywhere in the world!

on the imme iate situation

is to neglect the real pro- blem -- which is the val— ues, aims, beliefs, etc, which give rise to these pre .oblems in the first place. ‘ Until-they identify the true source of the problems they will be left with "hand-aid“ proposals and, of course, will remain in the dark-and "in-the\red". v "

-The current problem which Gordon sees area a ath , which_he claims is the res- ult of poor.communication:\ lack of participation: and lack of cammunity spirit°

Gordon was uncertain as to how he would deal with this with the exception perhaps of strengthening the Student Union's financial status.

In the realm of the finan— cial, the problems are, ac- cording to Gordon: wasted expenditure: e.g. Cadre is, as he sees it, not a real newspaper: if it were it wo- uld, he cIaims, make money rather than operate at a lo- ss as he claims it doe§7 so- me criticism applies to CS<

Other problems Gordon sees are: lack of co-operation between Student Services and Student Union -- he intends to solve this through encou- raged co—operatiOn. Reassess- ment of Student Loan Act so students will not have to . borrow $1400. to qualify for bursary. ' t ,

I Gordon Campbell can easily identify the problems (at the super-

:ficial level) but gives you

the impression that he has no ability to deal with the responsibilities these prob- lems imply. He is incompet- ent in argument, uncertain, and too easily persuaded to assume a firm stand on an i
