pus, to expand and make UPEI a more attractive school. Of course this makes sense, but what of tuition fees? As far as I am concerned, the higher the fees the less appealing it is. I will

"1 certainly not be coming back next

year, I'll go somewhere else instead. This is not completely due to the pro-

| jected rise in next year's tuition, for I

do have other reasons for planning a move - but I do have to say that this expected rise increase only helps solidify a thoughtful, semi-serious

| idea.

Now, if the professors wait

) and strike later (around March), I | think it will cause the students to

panic more ferociously. There will be

| people trying to finish courses, possi-

bly graduate, courses will have already been paid for and much of the work will have been done, as well as a host of other concerns. This will force the students to put more pres- sure on the administration, which will in turn act as an aid to the professors. In other words, the professors can use the students as a battering ram if they so choose.

If they strike now then the students likely still panic, but proba- bly not as severely as if they were to strike later on in the semester - at least it will still be possible to bail on the semester if it becomes necessary, and not lose any money or waste any time - that is if students refuse to pay tuition until the issue is settled, which I would suggest is a good idea. I will not be paying my tuition until I know it is safe to pay it, and I have heard of others doing the same. I recommend, if you can - safety first, I say to my ma'. This however, will have it's effects if done ‘en mass’. If a large enough portion of the student body

_ simply decides not to pay tuition, the

administration may panic and fold to the professor's demands. I reason thus because the administration needs our student money now like a cow needs oxygen, for if they don't get it, and the professors are still on strike, adminis- tration could possibly face some inter- esting economic difficulties.

I would like to add, again, that this is my own reasoning, and that nothing is really certain, especial- ly as of yet. Perhaps there will not
