Women Want To Be Led, Says Candidate

HALIFAX (CUP) —- A male candidate in a recent student council election at Mount Saint Vincent Univer- sity says women don’t run for council positions because they like being led.

“Girls, really, are more complacent. They look to the men for some strange reason. Generally speaking women seem more likely to accept being led then to ac- cept leadership,” said Rod Benteau, who tried for - and lost - a seat on senate.

Over 80 per cent of the University’s 4,100 students are female.

“It’s one good way to let the university know how the males feel,” said student Rick Collins.

“Maybe males are try- ing to make a statement,” adds student council en- tertainment director Karen Seaboyer. “Guys are per- haps trying to find their place because they’ve been feeling slighted by the female dominance.”

At UPEI, both males and females are taking an active role in the Student Union. On the Student Union, about half the repre- sentatives are female and half male.
