With the qualities of freshness and warmth, Anne Schurman, Head Resident of Bernadine Hall, has played an important and vital role at UPEI. For the 6 years Mrs. Schurman has been with us, she has help— ed us as women, realize & ‘actualize our potential & become more aware of our- selves.

When asked what her duties consisted of, Mrs. Schurman smiled & replied, "I feel my duties are to be available and concern— ed and to be a friend when the girls want a friend." Mrs. Schurman is always a- vailable. ,She is on call 24 hours a-day and is nev- er too busy to sit down & talk. .

As Mrs. Schurman talk— ~ ed about the women of Bern—. adine Hall, her face lit-up and she said, "I care and they know I care and then we do the best we can."

R Gool Dear Editor,

I was surpised at the Cadre version of the inci- dent that took place in my office recently. The allega- tiOn that the two girls from my office were the"assault— ors" and nOt the"assaultees" came as news to them too as they nursed a badly bruised arm and a scraped knee and lamented over a torn pair of slacks. _ .

She talked of many th—

Tom has done favours for all people on Campus. A wine and cheese party were noth- ing for Tom to whip up with little or no notice.' He must have been asked a huhdr— ed times for a cake to cel- ebrate a birthday or the like. His response was al- ways a positive YES!

You say in your Editor- ial of April 1 that I will issue afstatement to the ef— fect that "there is a diff- erenc% between records and files. Thank you. I do. But you also implied that what Mr. Gallant was in fact ref- erring to was his file and not his transcript .

From the tape of the pro- gramme it's clear to me that‘

what he refers to was his ac—g

Mrs. Schurman realizes how lonely we students are, especially those a way from home for the first time but because she is such an hon— est & open person we soon forget those pangs of home— sickness, as we sit easily in her livingroom feeling loved and wanted. "She fe— els that we need eachother and that she needs the stu— dents more than _sometimes they need her" because she said "you pick-up eachoth- ers strenghts." ..........

The "Cadre", on behalf of all the students at UPEI would like to express our gratitude to Mrs. Schurman and thank her for her de— votion and concern. We wish her a lOng life filled with happiness, as she leaves us to take the position of Re— sidence Director at Pine

Generally these reports exist only if the student in some way fails to meet the university's minimum reqire— ments.
