-LETTERS FROM EXILE
The Cadre. IU.P.E.I;

_ While on PEI during my Christmas holidays I had heard that the UPEI student union executive had resigned. I've learned since then that that is not true. In any case however, if it were true I would be in no way surprised because the student union has been heading in that direction for a number of years now.
The age—old problem
at UPEI has been the union executive blaming the students for lack of sup- port wHile the student membership has accused the executive of being aloof and non-representative of student interests. This is what appears on the surface. Actually, however, this is merely symtomatic of a mdre profound fact, namelyfi student affaIrs
are ignored in the UPEI constitutiOn-tfie uniVersity act. In this act stud— ents are disproportion— ately represented on all important bodies at UPEI. In particular, the Senate and Board of Governors have a small minority of students while, in fact, students constitute the bulk of the population at UPEI. They have
some say,.but are nu- merically powerless at voting time. Con— sequently, student power is at a minimum at UPEI. As a result therefore students become subordin— ate to the decisions of a minority-administra— tion and faculty—and are left with the admin— istration of social activities, Only. It
is no wonder there is apathy! There cannot

-U.P.E.I. STUDENTS NEED NEW CONSTITUTION
but be apathy where there is powerlessness.
. If the students are to surmount their in— ternal squabbles they must, of necessity, pur- sue a new constitution putting students and . students rights first. They must demand at least on equal say and vote for academic, curriculum content, and faculty content, policies, Only when students become masters in their own house will these mischievoUs squabbles give way to re- sponsible relations and for the development of , pro—student policies com- mesurate with the needs of our Island population as well as the individual student's needs. I
These squabbles are in-
ternally diverse; but do you see concern express— ed by Baker and Co.? Of Campbell andrthe Dept.‘. of Education? 0f faculty? Nol' So far as they are
V concerned, the weaker the
students the easier to promote anti—students
and pro—business aca— demic policies. s 7 Do you want to be "educated" in such a
way as to serve some capitalist in a Toronto. factory? Or would you rather be educated in
sucy a way as to be.of maximum use to the Is— land people and, theree fore, yourself?
If the latter is your concern then the stu- dents must pressure their student union executive to develop a
‘ made—at—UBEI constitut—
ion reflecting.the
.genuine interests of
students.
Education on PEI must be made relevant to to the needs of Islanders, Campbell and Baker will, in no way, facilitate this. Students, and students only, can fight for and insure this..
To proceed, the student
. union executive must de—
velop closer ties with those it represents
and, together, forge a
new constitution put— ting_students-the majority— first. Othefi," ternal division‘w' W "
