Dear Mr. Chandler: I am glad you continue tastress your objections

\ by writing another letter

and I am sorry that there was not space for all of your objections (that happens sometimes in a newspaper). Now, as to your first objection, yes, you are correct in stating that I misinter— gpreted what you said in, your earlier letter byt_ there have been a number of ads that, fbr a variety of reasons, were not printed. Now, to answer your question, (you'll find the same reasons in last week’s paper and the paper before that), there was no

available. space. This editor decided which

, notices or ADS should go

in the space available and the nuclear ad was not one of them!

The Edi tor. '

The Editor: As a member of the H.O.P

‘ H.O.-P.E. Nuclear ‘

Responsibility Odtmittee and a graduate of, UPEI, I was disappointed that you refused to print Tony Reddin's article on nuclear power.

Your arguments for exercising editorial discretion ('Ihe SUN,

Nov. 18) seem tobe (1) Tony is not a student and therefore not ‘ entitled to a voice;

(2) that more important articles were given

.-c n..." .s ,1. r. AAA (—4, fJ._’\- ..41.

4

‘

A priority and (3) that ‘ nuclear power is of no

concern to UPEI students.

(1) Tony is, to my * knowledge, a part-time, student. -

(2) Editors can usually, especially over a period of several issues, find space for a particular article. let me suggest 'an article entitled, "To land a Job, Take French" (The SUN, Nov. 18) that might profitably have been deferred or dropped.

. Beyond the somewhat

"mmdabout" (no naughty words in this rag) appeal to national unity _ expressed in the headline, there is little substance to the article. Chly in the "gotta—get-ahead" late seventies would such tiresome remarks by an , Ottawa bureaucrat to a group of Ontario high school teachers take precedence over an article inviting students to take part in a debate on an issue. of real importance to Canadians and Islanders.

‘(3) 'Ihe P.E.I. government is ncw committed to securing, through the Maritime Energy Corp. , a direct interest in the Pt. Iepreau CANDU reactor located just south of Saint John, N.B. P.E.I- will, as well as being committed to purchase Pt.

mpreau pomer, be responsible ~for a share of the costs associated with waste handling, decommissioning (i.e. protecting the public and the environment from the discarded reactor catplex which becomes after , 25—30 years of operatim , too "hot" to handle) and insurance. Moreover,

P.E.I. will be morall responsible for conﬁgbut— ing to nuclear prolifer- ation and saddling posterity with the dilemma of protecting themselves from the debris of a technology which, tOgether with its counterpart nuclear weapons, poses the greatest imagineable threat to life on this planet. (And all this just to delay our day of red<cning with wasteful and destructive patterns of consumption a handful of years.)

Perhaps, in the judgement of the editor, such an issue does not concern UPEI students. Perhaps the "high ideals" with which he credits himself

require that students

concern themselves only with campus social life or career opportunities and not with the basic moral and political issues which face us all.

Yours truly,

Scott Sinclair
