To the members of U.P.E.I.

To develops and monitor a sence of community within

a given community,each member

of that community ought to be aware of each other mem— ber and his activity in that ccmmunity.If for some reason each member is unaware of some or all other members, or is unaware of other mema bars interests and activité iesiin that community,dis— trust,prejudice,fear and- anxiety,may develops which, of course,is detrimental to the growth and development of each individual and, hence,the community itself.

The university newspaper as a medium may publish a best essay of each depart— ment written by yhr student in the normal course of his semester wopk,which,among the essays of other students may be selected for public- ation by his-her professor. This may be weekly,bi—weekly or monthly.

The contributions of each department would invite constructive criticism from all other departments.

One department would be- come aware of all other departments,students and faculty would become aware of all other students and faculty and their interests and activities in the univ- ersity community.

with the projection of the university newspaper

onto the general Island community,the university would be recognized by the Island community as an acadaemic entity.

The businessman would be made aware of,and partic- ipate in,thephilosophy of the department of business administration.The same holds true for the Island clergy and the religion department;psychology,en— gineering,ect.

All areas of human endeavor would be included which would mean that there would be something of inter? est for everyone.

No longer need the par- ent doubt the validity of a university education becaus he-she lacks knowledge and understanding of what an academic university entails. The parent could keep ab- reasteof student thinking in all areas.

No longer need the high schools students find it difficult to decide wheither to enter university or not.

After exams are over and we have retired to the coméd forts of our homes for some

much needed relaxation during

the Christmas break,we“will have plenty of time to stop and think about our own state of affairs.And no matter how bad our marks are or how different our high school friends have become, we know that we will be ret- urning to our new friends

at university and can ex— pect many good times to follow.

However,there are many people in our own commun- ities to whom Christmas is

nothing but an‘echo of happ—y

ier times,replaced now by the 1onliness of old age. If they're lucky they'll get a phone call from a relative.There are no more lively singalongs for them, laughing,parties,sharing

In June of 1969 an idea became a reality when rapres entatives of 22 interested organizations gathered at the annual meeting of the national conference of Can- adian universities and coll— eges to produce a draft con— e;?' "on for a national non cs; ational organization for overseas service. The draft was subsequently adopted by the annual meet - ing,and a new organization came into being:Canadian University Service Overseas. Today,1O years later,the organization is almost univ- ersally known simply as C.U. S.O.It has over 1,300 canad— ians at work in some 44 dev- eloping nations.

Like many similar organ- izations-the Americian Peace Corps and Britians Voluntary Service Overseas-C.U.S.O.

came into being in the flurry

of enthusiastic activity that marked the preparation for the UNITED NATIONS DEU‘ ELOPMENT DECADE.Prefering such low key objectives as "filling the gap which can-’ not yet be covered by local manpower resources",C.U.S.O. attempts to meet the contin-

ually changing demands of the countries it serves.The requ- ests fall into four main pro-

fessional areas-education,

health,agriculture,technology

while teachers remain the largest single group,evan the demand is changing.More experienced teachers are required.math and the scien- ces and an increasing number of positions are at teacher- training,and other post- secondary levels.

C.U.S.O. has been geared to recruting on campus,where the organization began,with- out this continued support

with such newspaper content the faculty and students would be making a major contribution toward educating the general public contemporary thinkers are in agreement that it is through education that pre- judice ,hatred,aoathy,and

'fear may be removed to make

way for the develppment of individual and communal integrity.

It has been indicated that the philosophy depart— ment may be one of the first to participate in this an- deavor,which may begin next semester.
