What is security? How does it function? Why do we need it at U.P.E.I.? These are questions, the answers to which is necessary for harmonious, co-existence with each other at U.P.E.I. Jonior McLeod, director of

security, has a few answers

for us. . -Editor

An interview With "JuniOr? McLeod, Director of Security

Stan Dalton: "What is the functions of the security department?" ' Junior McLeod: "we are not here to please students. But we are here to maintain law and order. None, if students who are no different than anyone else, and are living on our university and stay- ing in our residences, must live by the law like anyone else. " (JuniOr went on to describe the various ways in which his men carry but their duties.) Parking patrol: Other un- iversities (though not all) charge a fee for parking: U.P.E.I° does not.Those who are not students at U.P.E.I.

and are parked in our park- ing lot, will be towed away at the insistence,of Our security force. "This is for the students' protection" Junior said. Emergency Alert: at any time a student suffers an injury or succumbs to a disease\or injures himself because of entoxication, or drugs, the security men have in the past, and will con— tinue to, assist wherever I possible. This is, again, for the protection of the in- dividual whether he be a student, faculty member, or non-academic employee. Junior was somewhat sad- dened because there are

many who look upon police

or security forces as hos- tile, antagonistic forces ,whereas, in fact, they eXr ist for the protection of

the individual and his society.

Junior and his men find themselves in the imposs sible position of being the mediators between the society and the individ— ual through enforcing those rules and regula- tiOns necessary for the maintenance of both.

It's easy for them to make mistakes because they must interpret, to the satis- faction of both society and the individual. Often, they must interpret with little time for reflection or to' consult their book of rules. What they do depends on however, is that every in-

diVidual at our university exercise a good amount of common sense with regards to the property of others and the university.

Security does not create the laws, Junior explained, "we enforce the rules of the university and the laws of society" often in cos operation with other police agencies such as the Char- lottetown police force and the R.C.M.P.

Although Junior spoke at considerable length in our interview, the substance of his remarks point to the fact that security is 293 out to get the student or anyone else, indeed it is quite the opposite: the well—being of the individ— ual is their prime concern as well as the protection of the institution itself. Furthermore, security wants to work with each member of the community, not against

WOMEN UNITE!

On Friday, october 19, there will be a meeting of all women interested in getting together with ' other women. A number of us would like to examine the meaning of being a woman today - what is expected of us and what we would like to be. Rather than considering these ques— tions individually, we are

-planning to exchange in-

formation and compare ex-

,periences in the hope of

gaining greater perspect- ive on our lives, find encouragement and assist- ance from women who share our concerns, and in the process, learn to develop better friendships with other women. In addition, some of us are interested in creating new oppor— tunities for ourselves

him. Junior thinks each of us is responsible for the community: a respons— ibility which is to the advantage of each in the long run.,

He suggested some ways this may come about: if you notice anything you conSider unusual, sontact security: when you see someone causing molicious damage, whether of another person or property, contact security. If you lose some— thing, or have found some— thing (i.e. wallet, glasses, etc) contact security.

On the whole, Junior was quite concerned that we realize security is there for our protection and for no other reason. L

Those of you who are un- certain of how security functions may speak any- time with Junior or his mendand they would be only too3glad to tell you more.

and each other. Courses in automobile mechanics, carpentry, household re— pairs, or in women's hist— éry, psychologh, sexuality Amight be of interest to many women. A birth cOntrol -and abortion counselling clinic could be started. The possibilities are end— less.

While the specific inter— ests of each of us will

be different, we are hoping that all women who see sone purpose in meeting with other women will come to
